Anything We Should Know: it's been 84 years, but i used to play Ilias Fabria, Pietro Maximoff, and a lot of other shorter-lived characters. I tried playing Caius once before but failed, so I'm starting fresh this time.
Favorite GIF:


CHARACTER
Name: Caius Porthmeus
Info Page/App: Info page, App
Who They Are: A Tevene mage and recent defector who had been collaborating with the Venatori. Academic, nerd, magic tinkerer, and very secretly a dreamer.
Where They've Been: Tevinter. Grew up a servant on a rural estate but transferred between a few city-based Circles after his magic manifested, and has spent the last few years as a researcher for the Venatori.
What They Want: Uh. To be the archon? But will settle for restoring an archon who isn't Corypheus, for now.
Plot & CR Desires: Nerd stuff, mage stuff, Vint stuff, class stuff, and eventually dream threads, but he'll be keeping that ability close to the chest.

Anything Else: I'm thinking about running an intro plot to thread out Riftwatch bringing in this Vint defector and his intel, so gimme a shout if that interests you!

Hello and welcome back!! (At the risk of exposing how much I backread this game before joining, I’m a huge Locked Tomb fan and lovedddd how you adapted Harrow to this setting. This is not really relevant rn except that that was rad.)

ANYWAY, I’m Julie and I have: Doctor Strange, rifter and Head Healer, sorcerer who embodies that “so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” quote, which means he vibes pretty well with ambitious Tevene mages I think. Also since he’s used to traversing the astral plane in his own canon, one of the latent abilities I apped in with was for Strange to someday hone his magic in a dreamer-ish direction, so someone to learn from would be aces; if you’re down, I would love love love for them to cross paths in dreams and (eventually) maybe both work on sharpening those skills?? He’s also v interested in glyphs. tl;dr would love to nerd out about magic 2gether.

Also Astrid Runasdotten brennvin, a boisterous Avvar shimbo & scout, less overlap here but Riftwatch is small so they’ll prob cross paths!

Aw THANKS I'm sad Harrow didn't stick for me but excited to be back with y'all.

Nerd and dreamer CR sounds amazing! They seem like they have different strengths so there's plenty they could learn from each other. Caius is trying to keep his dreamer status hidden to begin with, but he's also using it to spy on people and would not be prepared to get caught at it. I gotta get his intro plot squared away first but once he's officially in residence, we should do a thing!

And who doesn't love a shimbo, too. (I do, I've been lurking.) Excited to bounce some stuff off you.

Yesss perfect 👌 I’ll go fill out your permissions page in the meantime and we’ll drum up something once he’s arrived properly :]

Delighted that this enabling so promptly worked. Can't wait to give Julius a new headache, though nerd stuff also relevant to Cosima and Siegfried (my new spirit vet).
