Nobilis - Treachery

[Ardonis]

They do if we say they do. I mean, after all, they arrive as babies in the luggage; maybe they just happen to arrive with bellybuttons, you know?

 

[Jdvn1]

Oh, I was just thinking about it. It'd make sense that they wouldn't, assuming we didn't specify anything. Which we haven't. Do you want to specify? I don't really care one way or another, meaning the default is no bellybuttons.

[smallcaps]"Risk[/smallcaps] is possibility, like possibility for change. The universe is changing all the time on its own, sometimes randomly. Sure, there are some laws and rules, but even they have an aspect of chance to them. Need I change the topic to quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and the uncertainty principle? I don't think so, and please don't ask me to. The specifics bore me. This is the gist of it, though. There are fifty-two cards in all and you don't know which I'm holding, but I think you better fold to me anyway."

Chris stands fairly tall, about 6'1". The 32 year-old man is not difficult to point out in a crowd, and not just because of his height. He wears a distinctive leather hat and a nice leather trench coat. It seems odd at first, but it ends up being utilitarian. He keeps decks of cards and odd coins in various pockets, so he has plenty of storage. Chris doesn't keep himself particularly well-shaven, but he avoids beards. From time to time, he will decide to grow a goatee, then shave it off thinking it looks ludicrous.

Chris has spent a lot of time in casinos and various gambling venues. He knows how to gamble and has dealt with a lot of money. Money doesn't impress him anymore, since it can be found anywhere. How to extract money, or wealth or items, interests him much more. He likes figuring out the chances various situations occuring. Chris does hate cheaters, though, as they break statistics. In his games, he makes sure no one cheats, according to whatever rules the game happens to have. The rules can be changed, but they are always to be followed.

Chris, Regal of Risk.

We are to make a temple of inquisition

Polyphemus was to be a guardian of our chancel. We convinced him to come along with us with a really nice hat of his size. We stopped, first, in Antartica to visit the Library of Babel, which is the home of a famila consisting of the dominus of records (Lance Romanil), the dominus of mazes, the dominus of beaurocracy, and the dominus of trails.

Darryl McDowell is a gentleman Chris used to gamble with. Darryl is a ruthless gambler, willing to win a game at any cost. The two of them learned with each other, but always butted heads, almost evenly matched. In a very high stakes game, Chris caught Darryl cheating and called him out. Darryl was furious that he was found out and arranged for some men to "educate" Chris. Chris was left with broken limbs. Of course, Chris would seek revenge, but in the best way he knew how. With cards.

Lila O'Connor is an inhabitant of Stopover. With the help of Peter, Chris sought the most honorable person in Stopover, who happened to be Lila. She is a thirteen year-old girl who hates Chris. Everybody in Stopover hates Chris, including Lila, but Chris has a deep respect for Lila.[/sblock]

[sblock=New feature on the boards here. I really like it. ] Woo![/sblock]

[ragnarokt]

Ooh, I like them all. I prefer the third, though, as he is less frog-like.

 

[Jdvn1]

You think the first two look frog-like? What are you smoking?

Shoot, I don't remember where those frog-pictures are now...

 

[Ardonis]

I prefer the third as well. Though that's mostly because Fr. Peter happens to be in his 30's, not his 50's. The Inquisitor would work except for the skull cap. That's more of a bishop thing than a priest. A symbol of the episcopate, as it were, not the presbyterate.

And please, let's not talk about frogs. I've been playing too much Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, which is set in Innsmouth. ;-;

 

[Jdvn1]

/me throws the topic of frogs away.

I thought, at least, they could give an idea of your character?

 

[Ardonis]

Oh, don't worry. I already had an idea of what my character looked like. Thanks though!
