marlowe morning


the sycophant

a servile self-seeking flatterer


The nightkin does what is needed to survive as part of the natural order of the world, attaching herself like a vine to the pillars of strength displayed by those who wander the Star. Eager to see how your story unfolds, she will sing your praises and uplift your good deeds to the ears of God — or decry your villainy. After all, those at the top can only be there thanks to those supporting the weight of their deeds from down below, the companion at your side waiting to see if you end in ballad or dirge. If she has a hand in either, all the better.What are you willing to give?Take?The blood and sacrifice one endures is rewarded in one way or another to those she finds deserving.


You are deserving

aren't you?

Miss Marlowe Morning's life is structured with a mindfulness for control as any good mage should have. Her nature draws her to any buzz of excitement or gaiety, finding delight in all the passions and beauty of life and whatever it is that gets one's heart beating all the quicker. She can be most easily found where people want, where they need. Though it is not uncommon to find her skulking among the lowest when it suits her, she would seem awfully out of place.Ever expressive, one can always tell what she is feeling, each emotion raw and immediate and displayed without restraint from head to toe. Like the moon pulls the tide, it tugs her just the same from warm and forthcoming to distant and chilly. She is easily swept up in the passions of others, finding a great joy in the ambitious and in the strong wills of those that work oh so hard for what it is they want in life. For what they need.Should one find their heart to be empty of such delights, it would be with an eagerness that she make you the bright and shining star that might grant her own many wishes. With a dedication to her divine calling, she otherwise leaves little room for much indulgence — save for that of doting deliciously, delightfully on her companions, of course.Any sort of bending to others seems to come with reluctance despite how easily she falls into a hierarchical structure, social status believed to be higher above most. She will happily oblige at any chance in being difficult if it pleases her, which it often does. When it doesn't, she can be especially ingratiating when she wants something.


And she certainly wants something from everyone

what does she want from you?

The Prophet for Profit


She uses her gifts of foresight like that of a divine navigator, lighting Oschon's path forward in moonlight for those who might be able to give something of value in return. Generally she aids merchants, nobles, or government efforts, traveling with expensive cargo to make sure it avoids dangers and dangerously sticky fingers. Yet she appears to be a soft, vulnerable thing. A little sickly. Leaving the comfort of a warm bed and safety of city walls leaves her clingy, and she likes to cling to someone who will get their hands dirty on her behalf. Someone who can make sure she gets home in one piece, as where she can be found trouble is not so far behind. Your forward path together is a struggle, and she will find pleasure in your strife all while trying to ease your burdens. Even if she might disagree with you in everything else - you both can see eye to eye on this, can't you? That it is a beneficial relationship.Deep down you know it. You need each other.For now.

The Lavish Lamb


Heretical roots run deep within these noble gardens, poisoned, the entity she serves resolute and proud. The bond she offers provides many benefits, the blood you spill only furthering the sensation of something other worldly nipping at your heels. She works to entice and entangle those deemed exceptionally worthy, gifting boons of power to those who dare dabble. For some, she is a loving companion who pushes you to your limits, the best you can be. A parasitic partnership. For others? A painful thorn in their side in a reminder that the occult is a fierce flame that is hard to snuff out.

Potential Themes

dark • mature • erotic


Abuse of Power, Religion, Corruption, Illicit Substances, Tragedy, Adventure, Chaos & Order, Circle of Life, Magic, Crime & Punishment, Redemption, Subterfuge, Betrayal, Occult, Conspiracy, Politics, Rivalry, Otherwordly Horrors, Violence, Unrighteous Justice, Slice of Life, Peace & War, Pre-Establised Relations, Suffering...so much suffering.


The above is not automatic for anyone, nor are they a requirement for me. Most other themes are fine as ultimately she can slither herself into many situations as a socially acceptable albeit arrogant mage. While I prefer longer form, multi-paragraph writing, I can adjust as each situation requires.
