Character Information

Summary

A vampire mage seeks to join the Black Lodge - whatever that is. Whatever means necessary, whatever that takes.

She's not telling anybody about that, though. Nope! Just a genuinely great person, here. No problems whatsoever.

Goals

• Join the Lodge. Fully. Whatever that means, whatever that takes.
• Grow more powerful. Obviously.
• Gain friends (minions) to help her position.

Goals She Won't Admit to Herself

• Make friends. Actual friends.
• Get over her aversion to herself.

Background

A child of privilege - relatively speaking - Gehenna was born to friends of a certain member of the Black lodge - one [Vespasiano]. The family would host parties, make political donations, and provide behind-the-scenes support for him.

The structured lifestyle of the rich did not suit Gehenna - so she rebelled by throwing parties, sneaking out, and doing whatever she wanted. She even rebelled by selling secrets online - eventually, even getting into infobrokering circles in the shadows, trading data back and forth. All the while, she was growing as a mage - spells only, her self-centered attitude drove the spirits away.

It all went away, though, when she received the shock of her life. On the way back from a party, she was intercepted by someone who seemed to know she was coming. A vampire.

Unbeknownst to her, she'd gained information the Black Lodge wanted to keep quiet. In the name of keeping order, Silas influenced her parents into a method of "developing their daughter into a better mage." Though she couldn't have known it - and still doesn't - her parents arranged for her to be turned without her knowledge, in the hopes that a more powerful caster as a daughter would bring them further renown. This, of course, came with the added benefit that Silas would be able to add a powwrful mage to his stable of runners that he can keep under his thumb. The family documented her as dead, and explained that she should build a reputation in the shadows, to build up to a new debut in aociety.

Their daughter Vivian Sinclair will obey - and use the power she gains to get out from under her thumb. For now, she'll start by leveraging those she knew while flipping info to the right buyers and leaning on her reputation as a mage.

But eventually, she'll uncover the truth behind her turning, and the truth behind the powerful figures her parenta consorted with.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Towering Ego (Dedicated Spellslinger, Metaviral Attunement, Too Pretty to Hit) - Gehenna considers herself to be above others, to the point that she will not deign to work with spirits and is happy to impose her will upon others.
• Relentless Gossip (Prime Datahaven Membership) - Being enough of a gossip to get good info has led Gehenna to interesting circles.

Negative

• Leaning Tower of Ego (Poor Self Control (Vindictive), Social Appearance Anxiety, Superhuman Psychosis) - Gehenna has a fragile, fragile ego. When someone challenges her or gets one over on her, she can't let it go, and anything that gives them ammo to insult her is unwelcome. Pawns should stay in their place.
• Driven (Join the Black Lodge) - Surprise of surprises, she wants to get back in her family's good graces by joining the Lodge.
• A Horror in the Mirror (Social Stress (Infected), Unsteady Hands) - Gehenna's deadly afraid of infected. Her nerves are tight as piano wire. And any time she's forced to acknowledge herself, she's as terrified as she is by any other infected. It's easy to leave her shaking in her boots.
