Ovsol.Nestmile.Nivium.Cibo.18.Avrora

18th awakening of the Cibo twig of the Nivium branch family of Nestmile.
Icy New Life of the Neosiran Taiga on her first solo mission shepherding a self-piloting ship to Krill carrying 23,000 tons of raw gene-silk and unwittingly accepted an offer to be an approximately local guide to none other than the newly installed Margrave.
Hilarity almost certainly ensues.

  • Virtue: Probably immune to poison
  • Vice: Confusion and naivety
  • Rank: Not even a peasant but a foreigner!
  • Allies: None
  • Enemies/Rivals: None (?)
  • Aspirations and Goals: It seemed like fun and a good source of experiences, now just survive this pit of snakes (thankfully I'm probably immune to poison)
  • The Empire has good customers for things Nestmile produces.
    • It's all so very inefficient. Analogue controls, really?
    • The formatting of the Monadist faith demonstrates poor compatibility with the Salvation Code despite kernel-level equivalencies
  • Poison Resistance: Made of hyperplastics and composites
  • Feats of Strength: Cinematically absurd
  • Computer Hacking: Making it look easy
  • Melee Fighting: Electromagnetic Bajiquan
  • Sensorium: Did you know I can see through walls?
  • Drive Kernel Tuning: I can literally see Ahab Waves
  • Imperial Technology: Not her passion
  • Range Weaponry: A decent shot
  • Merchant: Mostly still book skill
  • Bureaucracy: Imperial functionaries are infuriating
  • Politicking: Naif
  • Protocol: Rapidly out of her depth
  • Streetwise: Rapidly out of her depth
  • Incorrect Assumptions: Top Marks

  • A strong Empire is a healthy Empire
  • Aspirations and Goals: Ensure the smooth transition of Margrave's forces to a proper Imperial force, find a way back into the Core and obtain position in Grand Imperial General Staff and rise to top.

Leopold Maximilian von Askania

File:GQDFFQpbcAATeCm.jpg
  • Player: SirLagginton
  • Titles: Earl of Vinheim, second in line for the Archduchy of Askania
  • Rank: Naval Captain of the Imperial Guard
  • Virtue: Heroic Frontline Officer, Honour Untarnished
  • Vice: Unwavering loyalty to his Family, Empire, and Friends, in that order.
  • Allies: Duke Sigismund Dietmar von Askania (elder brother, heir to the archduchy), Countess Adelinde Ingelwara von Askania (younger fraternal twin), Archduchess Sieghilde Grimmacht von Askania (mother), Countess Irina Theresa of Sky-Garden Artemesia (fiance, core noble), Prince Adwyn (best friend)
  • Enemies: Princess Derrya (woman scorned, a series of unfortunate misunderstandings), Captain Akram el-Malik (Rising Star Federation Captain, has remembered his name)

Events

  • Sent to the Imperial Court as a teenager as a political hostage, where he met and befriended a young Adwyn and his social circle.

  • Assigned to Margrave Ravi by the Emperor as the official Imperial Representative as a way for her powerful family to save face after the disastrous New Year’s Ball.

Sister Magnolia

Once a child of royal gardeners, now an electro-knight and cybernetic warrior-nun of Murus Incendiarius, she certainly kept the family enthusiasm for shearing and trimming as defender of MONAD. (she also picked up cooking pastries as a hobby)

Most of her body has been replaced by machinery; while her habit and synthetic flesh conceals most of it, her arms are visibly artificial. (the twin beam sabers built into them kept cooking the synthflesh covering, so eventually she just stripped it off) As of the Church’s electro-knights, she’s an expert combatant, but with very casual approach to social graces and not quite correctly calibrated enthusiasm for her work, she’s not terribly well-equipped to navigating traditional hierarchies of the Empire, with entirely predictable consequences.

Thus, now she is here, tasked with following the Duke Saddam’s condemned and exiled daughter after she escaped the originally-proposed fate of being sent off to a nunnery to quietly compute holy data in isolation, to serve as her spiritual aid and to make sure the already-strayed villainess does not stray from the righteous path even further. Officially.

Theme: “If the villainess won’t come to the nunnery, the nunnery will come to the villainess.”

  • Virtue: Reaches Heaven through violence.
  • Vice: The violence. (also pastries)
  • Aspirations: To further hone herself as a weapon of God. Cultivate her own cyber-garden.
  • Current Goals: Having a fun vacation! Which this is almost like, except maybe with assassins. Assassins!
  • Rank: Electro-Knight of Murus Incendiarius
  • Nature: Heavy combat cyborg
  • Specialty: Sniper
  • Etiquette Level: Overly Friendly
  • Technology: (Tech-)Adept
  • Sense of Direction: lmao
  • Allies and Enemies: pending!
  • Prized possessions: rosary made from melted-down hull of the battleship her militant order brought down, collection of dried flowers sent from parents on every birthday, Lohengramm-VII heavy sniper rifle

Notes from Past Incidents:

  • Do NOT, under any circumstance, let her duel someone
  • Managed to shoot down a dragoon with a borderline miraculous sniper shot. Just don’t ask what that dragoon crashed into on the way down.
  • Veteran of Church’s wars to reclaim archeotech, never managed to actually capitalise on it.
  • Once started a minor fire in the gardens when she tried to use her beam sabers as shears. The shame was unbearable.
  • Seriously, no duels.
