A Spinner would have come to your home when Chaundra was quite young to choose her as a successor.
Very early in her teens she would have been taken away to be trained.
I leave you to you two to work out relative ages and whether there's any pride or resentment there.

some vampire lore for you.
Epiphany
some vampire lore for you."The punishment of the Scaled Masters seems not to be unique, though who can imagine what kind of crime the other creatures of their ilk must have committed? To propogate by murder, to be shackled one's decaying corpse and forced to consume blood of the living to sustain it, to burn at the touch of water; could other lost peoples have been deicides of unknown gods and been thusly cursed? Or has the scripture mislead us about the origin of the Thunder Lizards?
There are dead who yet live, sustained by blood and seared by the sun, birthed by strange apparitions in the dark. Rare, but known, and promptly destroyed.
Could Night be responsible for such monsters, her own curse upon blasphemers kept secret, as is her custom? Or are they her disfavoured children, for does she not best love broken and monstrous things?"
- Ekkun, renegade philsopher.
"Those condemned to wander have spoken about serpents in the mangroves who will charm the very blood from your veins, surfacing by night to sing alluring songs and speak beautiful dishonest words. I asked Her - are these kin to the Scaled Masters?
She smiled and said to me; there is no answer for which you know the words."
- The Whispered Verses: Conversations With Death, 5, 11.
"I asked Her - should ever the unquiet dead be left to their torment? Is it not our purpose to send them to their rest?
She said; I am the end of all things. Where I am the beginning it is for an ending. When the dead seeks the living and my mark lies upon them, do you pretend to gainsay my purposes? If I would sin against myself, do you imagine I leave the judgement to you?"
- The Whispered Verses: Conversations With Death, 7, 1
"It came in the night as my mother lay dying, her flesh torn by a shark in the bay. Like the night had come alive in the shape of a man. It wore the face of a Paleman, but as the torchlight flickered over its face it became that of my father. It said a kindness was owned our family and asked only blood to heal mother. We argued while it stood like a statue and watched, and I felt a terrible melancholy upon its stolen features. In the end I decided to give, and it took my hand and my mother's hand.
I felt cold, and tired, as the blood somehow fled my body, yet at this time mother's rent side and leg knitted back together like flowing wax. I went embraced her when the creature released me, and when I raised my face to give thanks, it was gone."
- from a Temple of Night interrogation record, prior to the witness and their line being declared Outcaste, roughly twenty years ago.

I give up.
I'm using the pre-gen character. I'm sick, and tired, and I want to RP, and god dammit what kind of writer would i be if I couldn't hack it with a pre-made character?

Aww, Weli. I think we've all been there.
You can always, always take some licence with the pregen in play as it suits you, too.
Now we just have to bully Lemon into posting and have a talk about whether any of you know each other by meeting or reputation, beyond the notes in the pregens that should work for Chaundra, Meti, and Prim.
Then we can see who feels most comfortable opening the scene and get started.

Some aesthetic stuff:
Black is associated with life and vitality - the fertile, life-giving dark soil.
White is associated with death - white-bleached bone. sterile and lifeless.
Yellow and gold are associated with the motherly role of Earth as she embraces the sun at dusk.
Red is associated with healing and drinking.
Dark purple is associated with revelry and Night.
Sky blue and grey are associated with Rain, the sea, and good fortune.
Matte green and jade trinkets are considered good luck, but the patterning is important - if anyone but a Spinner wears green that resembles scales, it's viewed as a reference to the Scaled Masters.

If anyone wants additional information on anything - life in Radiant Pearl, other temples and gods, nearby locations, stuff about the current investigation you may have been able to get info on from your own temple, just say.

Proverbs 17:9
As far as connections go...
Chaundra Telesti: An effective, disciplined product of the temples. While our paths haven't crossed often, Chaundra always seemed to take her responsibilities seriously, at least compared to some. Her ability to see Fate will help us to close this case...and perhaps seeing how she works up front will tell me if her powers might help me investigate my own personal problem.
Meti Telesti: Wind and Soil have always been good partners, when it comes to training to put down threats to the Coral City, whether external or internal. I've known her for years, thanks to cross-caste drills and training exercises. Compared to so many soft priestesses, she's as fit as me, stronger if slower, and a valuable ally to have on this mission. We've never talked much personally; perhaps this assignment will provide an opportunity to change that.
Any thoughts?
