Rianne Argentlaetus, Knight-Errant of Her Majesty's Seelie Guardians
From SimChamber RP Wiki
- Name: Rianne Argentlaetus, Knight-Errant of Her Majesty's Seelie Guardians
- Gender: HEY! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO ASK? I'm all woman, by the way...
- Blood Type: NuQ positive. Oh, but the Prosthetic alters it enough that even if you could find a faerie with a similar blood type, no blood transfer would be possible, anyway. That's why you were asking, right?
- Age: 163 years (appears 22... or 14, if you count her lack of height)
- Height: 4' 9" (144 cm) Sh- SHUT UP! I'm TALL for a fairy, damnit!
- Wei- Mass: 57 lbs (26 kg) without prosthetics: the prosthetics are dense material, and weigh 42 lbs (19 kg) for a total mass of 99 lbs (45 kg). Because of my fae reality warping powers, however, gravity is subjective upon me, and I can render myself immune to gravity to fly, and propel myself with my faerie powers. I can even make neat glowy wing things when I do it.
- Three Sizes: Three sizes? Do you mean the dimensions of my prosthetic? All told, with my auxilary prosthetic blocks, I can form about 6 cubic feet of material with them, but can stretch it in any shape. Oh? That wasn't what you were asking?
- Colors: Orange hair, Burgundy eyes, and a Teal uniform

- Skill: 0 (including -2 for Tomboyish)

- Maid Type:
- Super-Tomboyish (+2 Ath, -2 Skl) - Her training and livelihood as a knight in the service of the Queen of Stars, regent of all the Fey has left her well conditioned, coordinated, and capable on the battlefield. It has also left her hopeless as a domestic servant.
- Special Qualities:
- Absurd, Fae: Rianne is a creature of the fey - the magical beings living in the dimensions on the very edges of reality, where the ordinary laws of physics breaks down, magic and the will that control them are absolute power, and most revel eternally in surreal and mercurial but ultimately unchanging natural beauty. She is a fey creature more similar to an elf than a pixie, is a notably short 4' 9" (144 cm), but swears she's tall where she comes from. Really! STOP LOOKING DOWN ON ME! I'M NOT A KID!!!
- Absurd, Alien: The fairy world is a world completely different from the normal world, and the magic that Rianne normally takes for granted is scarce and far less predictable (to a native fey) than in her home world.
- Absurd, Cyborg: In a disasterous battle, Rianne was severely wounded, and completely lost an arm as well as portions of her internal organs. Her life is regulated through magical prosthetics powered through the faerie magic she controls. Her arm is the only outward appearance of this, and appears to be made of a smooth (blue) stained glass or gemstone surface that nonetheless is amorphous, and can be not only moved like a normal arm, but with an act of will, she can shape it into other impliments, and it is also her primary weapon. She often wears full-length gloves to cover this fact.
- Maid Roots: Unrequited Love: The master was captain of the Stormrider Company Rianne served in, and was mentor, role-model, and lover of Rianne. Upon his death in battle at the time of Rianne's injury, she swore to find him in his next life, and serve him there, as well. But wait... why're all these OTHER women here? Huh? I'm a MAID?! What the?! Don't you remember me at all?! You... You... IDIOT!!!
- Stress Explosion: Adrenal Addiction Gone Haywire: The prosthetics that regulate her damaged body's vital functions require concentration to control, and under extreme duress, she loses this concentration, leading to a chemical imbalance in her body similar in effect to a drunkard's mood swings, or even the psychadelic effects of hallucinogens. All this combines with her already unstable personality to create a frothing-mad berserker who is incapable of telling animate from inanimate, much less friend from foe, and she will relentlessly attack trees, rocks, or the entire planet until she simply collapses from launching her vital energy into reckless attacks.
- Maid Power: Trespass - Rianne can take 1d6 Stress to intrude on a battle, love scene, etc. Rianne can also butt in when the action has ended, and this can even work when someone is using World For Two. Rianne is a fiercly "devoted" knight, and will charge headlong into any situation where the master or possibly master's other subordinates are in danger, or whenever the master seems to be in danger of being... untowardly influenced by others, especially those with lascivious designs on her precious charge.
- Weapon: Psionics - More technically, Fae-style "magical" warping of the world. Although it is difficult to warp much outside her own body, she can use her techniques to alter her physical attributes, and change the shape of her prosthetic, morphing her arm into any weapon shape needed.
- Personality:
Although she originally was a rather rough-around-the-edges knight of a shocktrooper company of faerie knights, Rianne's personality has become notably more unstable following her injury and the grafting of the powerfully magical prosthetics into her body. Her normal personality is assertive, optimistic, somewhat bossy, and very energetic. She can plan and think ahead, but hates doing nothing - if nothing can be done about something now, blow it out of mind, and do something else that you CAN work on!
Her altered side shows through when the adrenaline starts to hit her veins. In combat, she revels in the thrill of her adrenal rush, seeking more and more combat, the thrill of striking her foes, the rush of adrenaline as the steel bites into her flesh, either one is as good at giving her the adrenal rush that makes her life worth living. Winning or losing mean nothing to her - only the rush that accompanies the battle.
This is not triggered by combat alone, however, she also can trigger it through any kind of competitive or time-sensitive activity, and one of the primary reasons she fails so utterly at housework is that she triggers a competitive spirit to outdo the other maids, and winds up trying to scourge the floor of all life (and destroy the floor in the process) rather than simply mop the floor.
- Background and Motives:
Captain Aislinn Rutinus was more than just a mentor and a leader to Rianne, he was also her lover and inspiration to living life without the slightest of hesitation, regret, and possibly common sense. This came to an end, however, when the Stormrider Company of Faerie Knights were asked to make a suicidal charge into the enemy flank in a horrifically bloody stalemate of a battle with the armies of the Unseelie court. The combined efforts of the armies that day and the sacrifice of virtually the entire Stormrider Company helped secure a pyrric victory before the Seelie forces were forced to retreat again not two days later. In this battle, Rianne lost her captain, her arm, and the functionality of some internal organs to exsanguination before being 'saved' by a fey chirugen who used her as a chance to test the use of a volcanic glass with fey magic to form living partial golems.
Although she remained more stable than most creatures that undergo such changes thanks to her powerful will and control over fey magic, she still started to further and further exemplify the recklessly fearless nature of a shocktrooper, and it was decided that the faerie world, with its powerful effects upon emotions, was too unstable for Rianne's mental well-being, and that her degrading mental state posed an immediate danger to the others of the Seelie court.
Facing the prospect of being forced from her home, she decided to make use of the faerie diviners before leaving the Faerie World for good, and learned of where her lover would be reincarnated next on the great wheel of life. She thus came after Don Alberto as her "Next One True Love!"
She was rather severely and somewhat violently dissapointed to learn that he had, since birth, garnered a reputation as a somewhat shallow womanizing pretty playboy, and even moreso when she somehow got talked into being a maid by him instead of becoming the pirate she thought she was signing up for. Her current objective is to "reform" Don Alberto back into a proper marrigable man, or, failing that, just kill him and track down his next incarnation. I mean, one of these times, he's got to be a decent man, and killing him to get him to a man she'll love sooner just shows how much she loves him. "Heeheeehee... I'll show you just how much I love you, Captain. Oh yes, I will... Kya~!"
- Hobbies: "You mean, what I do aside from what I do to keep the Captain alive, fed, clothed, and out of someone else's bed? Well, I try to make sure nobody is picking on Shang-Shang (those bastards), and I try to get in some 'light exercise'... I dunno know why, but I always feel much better after a little light rock breaking session."
- Specialties: "Oh, my natural grace, strength, perserverance, and dashing, chivalrous nature, naturally. I'm a proper lady, I am!"
- Favorite Food: "Meat. Spicy. I'm pretty flexible on the details."
- Least Favorite Food: "Mushrooms. Ewww."
- Favorite Phrase: "Hmm... That's kind of hard... 'CHAAAAAARGE!' or 'GET THEM!' work, but recently I'm starting to favor just plain wordless screaming."
- Thoughts on the other Maids: "Shang-Shang is cute and cool, and I just have to admit there's something comforting about someone who spends all her time trying to manipulate others and chart out courses for the destruction of everyone around her. It's a real pity she seems to be in such a slump nowadays, but it just makes her more adorable. As for the others? The squitten is kinda cute, too. Alessia needs to get more serious about her job. Anna... really doesn't make sense to me at all.
- What does a maid need?: "GUTS! Guts and an ever-watchful eye. You wouldn't believe the types of things that try to sneak in around here. Point is, you gotta always be ready, and always be ready to kick something's ass!"
