Marlowe Morning
the sycophant
The young nightkin is weak in her skills with volatile magicks in contrast to the brilliant amount of power she is able to conjure. Heavily relying on others to achieve her goals, she clings to anyone willing to allow her to do so. She attaches herself to an bard just as easily as she does a mercenary, singing their praises and goading for success and triumph. The blood and sacrifice others endure is rewarded in one way or another, the ever hungry devotee of the Moon providing companionship to those she finds deserving.
You are deserving, aren't you?
personality
Hot-Blooded | Callow | Insolent | Blithe | Coquettish | Capricious
The whimsical Miss Morning appears to have no direction in life whatsoever, living and breathing desire and impulse as she attempts to indulge herself in her wants. And she wants for much. Her free-spirited nature draws her to any buzz of excitement or gaiety, finding delight in all the passions and beauty of life. She can be usually be found anywhere where people gather, the more wild and crowded the better.Ever expressive, one can always tell what she is feeling, every emotion raw and immediate and displayed without restraint from head to toe. Generally she is friendly albeit stupidly headstrong in her own beliefs, values, and in that she knows more than you.Alas, she turns her nose up to many. Any sort of bending to others seems to come with extreme pettiness and reluctance, and she will happily oblige when given any chance to be difficult. It is not unusual for some to find her behaviour self-destructive, her sycophancy bold and plain as she attempts to bleed others for her own advantage and pleasures.
And she certainly wants something from everyone
what does she want from you?

The Saccharine Sycophant
It doesn't take much to draw her attention, but said attention is fickle and often short lived. She is akin to a minstrel, singing stories and spinning webs of pretty words and songs to tell your tale, her gift of foresight giving her chosen traveling companion an extra edge. Of course she makes it clear she wants something from you in return. Could be anything, but she plays a very long con. A simmer of heat just waiting to burn you in entirety.
The Sellswords & Sellstaves
Marlowe may hire a mercenary or crew for travel, having little experience of survival outside the comforts of a town. She cannot always pay much and may try to swindle or charm her way through if she finds her hire of interest is particularly soft-hearted. Her desire to handle jobs as quickly as possible can leave her difficult to deal with, with an eagerness to return to larger crowds in the safety of a settlement. Jobs she hires for also tend to be more difficult than she originally might describe. Regardless, various rumors also indicate that she is exceptionally lucky as a travel companion despite being a burden to bear/. She also can be convinced to join someone in their own endeavor.

The Carefree Companion
Marlowe uses her skills as a magical healer and apprentice chirurgeon to patch up those who have found themselves in trouble, or provides blessings of safe travels on the road. If it should please her, she accepts tributes, trinkets, and tokens. Whatever it is one might ask of a traveling companion, and whatever it is someone might consider a companion to be, Marlowe is honoured to oblige and fill that role. But one must gain her favour before she'll give one, and her favour is unsteady as the path of those she comforts.

The Lavish Lamb
Heretical roots run deep within these 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 power nipping at your heels. She works to entice and entangle those deemed worthy, offering 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. For others, a painful thorn in their side in a reminder that the occult is a fierce flame that is hard to snuff out.
The Pursuit of Power
Why does the finest Lamb from Dalamud's flock see you in her future?The little hunter is always on the prowl for something, and maybe that something is you. Are you wanted by someone? Something? Something that needs a Hound of Hell to sniff out? Perhaps she'll be your enemy, perhaps not. Regardless, she'll always want you to do your best.Can you hear it?The cries of your enemies, of her love in your ears.

Abuse of Power, Religion, Corruption, Illicit Substances, Tragedy, Adventure, Unrighteous Justice, Mystery, Crime, Redemption, Subterfuge, Betrayal, Chaos and Order, Occult, Conspiracy, Politics, Violence, Circle of Life, Peace & War, Suffering...so much suffering.
Most other themes are fine with a preference for dark/mature. Just let me know if you have something in mind plot-wise that you'd like to write and we can chat. ERP is not automatic for anyone and is by no means a requirement for me.Discord is my preference, and in-game may require planning ahead of time, though in-game availability might be sparse. Short-term or long-term, all good. I can be a bit slow, depending. I tend to write longer, novella-like responses, but can match. As long as I have something to work with I am happy.I will communicate openly & I expect the same of you. IC/=/OOCno self-inserts, please
