Origin Myth (WildKnight)

[dorkknight23]

In the beginning, there was nothing but the Titans and their will brought nothing but chaos and tragedy upon the world. When the children of the Titans, the Gods, bound themselves by Fate to mortals, they overthrew their parents and sealed them, bringing peace to the world. Now that peace has been threatened as the Titans escape. Only the mortal children of the Gods, the Scions, can use the powers of their ichor to battle evil Titanspawn and save the world once and for all…

To begin, what is your name, Scion? Who are you? And what are you? Write your name in the Book of Fate. (OOC: In short, tell me your character’s name, your concept, your pantheon, and who your divine parents would be.)

[wildknight]

Name: Natalya de Boer (Amer. Natalie Boar)
Concept: Modern Viking
Pantheon: Norse
Divine Parent: Freya

[dorkknight23]

Each Scion, like the Gods themselves, like all of creation, has different raw talents. Some are physically mighty, like Hercules or Beowulf. Some have great charm or beauty, like Helen of Troy. Some, like Odysseus or Imhotep, had great mental power. What are your strengths? And where are you lacking?

(OOC: tl;dr. What are your Attributes...?)

[wildknight]

Natalya is tall and powerfully built for a woman, having spent some time as an underground fighter. She is also agile and deeply energized (supernaturally so after meeting her Mother...).

Though she prefers not to rely on it, Natalya is also considered incredibly attractive. Based on her appearance alone, she was offered contracts as a singer and TV personality in her late teens, but she wasn't interested in either.

A dive biker bar in a bad part of town. Couple of potbellied dudes in ripped denim jackets are playing pool as their old ladies look on with varying levels of interest. A dart board sits unused on the wall. A few eyes turn as they see her come in, she’s a 10 in a room used to 6’s, tops. But , that does raise the question, what is Natalya doing there?

[wildknight]

Natalya enjoyed places like this. So many men doing their best to live a free life in a modern world. A lot of fakes, too, but they were easily detected and even more easily removed. She made her way to the bar and ordered a boilermaker with another beer as a chaser

Turning to look at the room, she quietly asked herself which of these men would be buying her drinks, tonight...

[dorkknight23]

As she ordered her drink, she saw an old man throwing darts. He wore an eyepatch and a wide-brimmed hat. He stopped, and he looked at her, but not with a lascivious eye. Its more like he could see right through her, see everything, see who she is, whatever that might be. And, worse, when he noticed she saw him looking at her... He. Just. Kept. Looking...

[wildknight]

Some guys leered, most looked away. Few had the guts to meet her gaze like this one. The eyepatch reminded her of old Odin One-Eye, so maybe this was some kind of sign. On the other hand, maybe he was just some unusually perceptive old man? Natalya shrugged and picked up her beer as she walked over to the man.

"You know me geezer?" she asked brazenly, though quietly enough to avoid being overheard.

[dorkknight23]

"Question is, do you?" the old man said, with a hacking cough, followed by a mournful chuckle. He drank from his beer, a little dribbled down on his white beard. "Sit down, sit down. I actually had some questions, if you wouldn't mind me asking them. But, first, would you like another drink?"

[wildknight]

Draining her drink casually, she shrugged, but gestured for two more drinks to be brought as she sidled down into a chair, sitting facing the back in a most unladylike manner. "Sure, I got a bit of time to kill. Fire away."

[dorkknight23]

“I guess I just wanna know,” the Old Man says, “How do you feel about yourself? I mean, you have to feel it, deep in your gut. How have you dealt with it all this time? Did you know? Did you deny it?” He sighs, “Forget it, what am I thinking. I actually need some help with something...”

A huge man walks up, he looks like a giant ugly bear and he smells worse. He taps the old man on the shoulder, “Hey gramps, buzz off, me and the lady’re gonna dance.”

“Ask her,” he says, “And later, we’re talking.”

He pulls on the old man’s shoulder, “You don’t understand. We’re gonna dance now…”

[wildknight]

In an instant, Nat was on her feet, pushing a finger into the larger man's chest. "You need to learn some manners, and if you don't turn yourself around right now, I'll be fine with teaching them to you!"

[dorkknight23]

"Heh, I'd like to see you try..." he licks his lips lasciviously.

(OOC: I'll let you make an appropriate roll Manipulation based roll [maybe Manipulation+Presence] to get the drop on him if you like. If you get more successes than I do in [Perception+Awareness] you'll be able to get the drop on him. In either event, make a Join Battle roll too...)
