• As the second son of a lower middle class family, Hiro really didn't have many expectations placed on him. His name is a hope that his parents had for his life, a life filled with prosperity. The only thing he ever truly prospered at was learning how to skate through life with the bare minimum. His older brother was the support beam for their family with his job as an office manager, which meant Hiro could just focus on having fun with his friends. His parents never seemed to care anyway, not until Hiro said he didn't want to go to high school. But in the end, he managed to avoid going back to school by promising to get a job instead to help support the family.
  
  
• Hiro got a job with the uncle of one of his friends. It seemed easy enough; all he really had to do was carry packages around town for the man and he was able to get (most of) a decent paycheck to give to his parents. A few months passed by this way and Hiro was finally getting used to the pace of life- until one day he rode back to his employer's store and found it deserted. There was a note taped to the door with his name on it. All it said was that the man would never be able to come back to this town because the police had finally caught onto him and that Hiro needed to hide somewhere fast before the yakuza found him. The sixteen year old didn't know what to do, but he knew enough about the yakuza to guess that they would come after him if he said what little he knew. But if he kept quiet, the police would never leave his family alone.
  
  
• He ended up pedaling along a bridge, mindlessly following one of his most commonly used delivery routes. The longer he stared at the ocean below, the more inviting the waves looked. It was winter, so no one would be tempted to jump in and try to save him. The bike was easily stowed away, then Hiro took off his sweater and stuffed it into the bike's basket. His grandmother had made it for him and he didn't want to ruin it. Should he send one last message before jumping? It would only be fair to warn his family, so he sent them a group message saying that he would miss them but he didn't want to burden them. Hiro climbed over the side of the railing and took in a deep breath as he tried to think of how he ought to aim himself to achieve the quickest death. The voice of a girl (and the feeling of her hands on his) interrupted his thoughts and he looked up to see her shouting at him about the importance of life and how he didn't need to kill himself over what was probably a small matter. She managed to persuade him to get back up onto the bridge, but when he reached up to grab her hand, a man pulled her away and his hands brushed against Hiro's.
  
  
• Did he fall off or was he pushed by that man? The question feels so important to him- it's the difference between being too weak to pick himself back up even after receiving help or being helpless when seeing someone else face danger. Sometimes he still sees those hands in his dreams, reaching out or clawing at the girl's arm. With a weakened grip and no real upper body strength in the first place, Hiro plummeted into the freezing ocean. But he had attracted enough attention with the help of the girl (and man, in a way) to make bystanders call for an ambulance before he hit the water. Hiro woke up that night in a hospital bed, surrounded by his family. However, none of them knew who the girl or man he had interacted with were.
  
  
• He has been following what few clues or stories he could grasp about people who look like the girl or the man who had snatched her away, and the trail has lead him to the Sohmas. Hiro is pretty sure they're some freaky cult, but if he can get the girl away from a cult, then he's saving her life too, isn't he? He tried sneaking into the Sohma estate once. When he got caught, he insisted he just wanted to see if there was anything of cultural significance, which was what Google Maps had told him. That excuse obviously didn't let him stay for too long, but now he knows what the actual layout looks like. Is he going to try sneaking back in? Oh definitely, but he has enough sense to do it more carefully next time... and hopefully with the help of someone on the inside.

  ◣◥◤◢ ▸▸▸ history ]
• 
  Hiro's family was painfully average. His father was an office worker and his mother stayed at home to take care of the home and children. She was once a secretary until carpal tunnel took out her ability to type for hours. They had only planned to have one child and Akihiko was filling that niche well by being a hard worker. No one expected Hiro, but by the time his mother found out, it was too late to neatly remove the problem. Hiro's birth was met with a mixture of resignation and determination- if one child could be raised in this house, then surely another one could turn out similarly well.
  
  Hiro, of course, can only rely on his memories of his life and the house. It was a house filled with the cloying taste of faint desperation. Desperation clung to Akihiko's clothes, dripped off their mother's words, picked at the knots in Hiro's hair. He wanted to leave as soon as he could walk. His birth was an accident, but his departures were always purposeful. School was a momentary blessing, but the workload wasn't. Everyone was always in a rush to get to the top and go to the best universities and get the best jobs and have the best lives. Hiro just wanted to lie down on the roof and stare at the clouds a little longer. Settling for less meant there was less work to catch up on later. It's no surprise that he wanted to take the easy way out of school and life by focusing on his friends and playing hooky with them. Sure they got caught sometimes, but it was easier to run than to face disappointment.
  
  His parents learned to not expect much out of Hiro; Akihiko was already doing so well- did you hear he was recently promoted to a manager position after only 4 years? To think the second son would do as well as the first was an obvious mistake, especially since he always seemed so lazy. When Hiro talked about dropping out of school, they did argue against it since higher education would surely help him more. But he refused to go back to school and made a (planned out) compromise with them by saying he would work instead. It was easier to believe when Hiro said that one of his friends got this job for him.
  
  The work itself was mundane but fitting for a sixteen year old, since it only involved delivering packages to repeat customers. It allowed Hiro to daydream while still getting him some money. It was perfect. But finding the store emptied out, his employer gone, and a note saying that the yakuza and the cops would be after Hiro because of his association with this place shocked the teenager to his core. He thought the best course of action for everyone else would be to remove himself from the situation as completely as possible. Despite his laziness, he does care deeply for his family and didn't want them to suffer because of him.
  Being saved by Ai was yet another shock that could only be eclipsed by Midori pushing him into the freezing ocean water... or at least not helping him up.
  
  His brother was the first person Hiro saw once he woke up in a hospital bed. He was the one who encouraged Hiro to find this mysterious girl if he truly wanted to see her again. Once Hiro recovered enough to go back home, he spent a few weeks looking for clues on the (thankfully very unique looking) girl and gathering up all of his things before leaving his home once and for all. The police had asked him questions at the hospital and strangers in suits had lurked around his unit, so it was only a matter of time before they would come after his family. He could handle it better than they could.
  
  After tasting death, Hiro is now more adamant than ever to do things on his own terms and take life as he wants. He knows life is short from personal experience, so he's determined to make some use out of his own life- even if that's hard to see from an outside perspective, considering he currently lives on the street. Thanks to years of doing odd jobs, he can at least charge a bit more than before for his 'expertise'.

  Ai • the one who started this all
  
  　　 - she saved his life, even though there was no obligation to do so; no one would've blamed her for not getting to him fast enough
  　　 - but that look in her eyes... was she really only saving him or did she need help too?
  　　 - he's only here to find her and get them both out- little does he know that there will be more than one familiar face in the Sohma estate
  
  Tsukiya • the one who made things fun while it lasted
  
  　　 - he didn't expect to find anyone with money acting anywhere near nice to a homeless guy like him
  　　 - looks can apparently be pretty surprising; the rich guy even wanted to date him (and not take his organs or sell him!)
  　　 - but the other man wanted too much, too fast and the relationship had to be broken off
  　　 - they ended things on good terms, but Hiro still misses him... maybe they'll see each other again someday

　　　HALLOWED SAINT　　　HALLOWED SAINT


A stranger who feels more comfort in a strange land is strange indeed.

Brigitte was born in a village within the empire of Dian. She was sheltered from most things and managed to live a relatively normal life... until the visions started when she turned thirteen. They were moments of altered clarity at first. She thought they were just vivid dreams since they only happened at night, when she let her mind drift away as she stared at the hearth. It wasn't surprising when her thoughts would stay focused on the smell of fire. But then these thoughts became daydreams. She could no longer keep it a secret when she felt the burning sensation of flames licking her arms and she screamed- even though she was lifting up a pail of water from the well in the center of her village. The villagers who saw it said she had screamed words from some unknown language, something that rang with power.

The first whispers were accusations of witchcraft, but Brigitte's family had respected and pious people. Surely this was instead a gift of Yllith which was meant to bless the village.

To partake of divinity was to take part of divinity.

Or so the villagers believed as they collected 'relics' of her hair, shed blood, and baby teeth. Their eyes were always on her, watching her for a sign of favor. Their hands were always grasping at the edges of her cloak to feel a little holiness within themselves. Brigitte was put on a pedestal that she couldn't escape. Her life was no longer her own and though she knew she ought to feel grateful for Yllith's blessing, she could only feel resentment. The people who had helped to raise her viewed her as some kind of savior; the boys who had teased her during their childhood now looked at her as if she was some strange creature. Hunger was everywhere and she didn't know how to fill the hearts of her people. Nothing she gave was ever enough.

The travelling merchant from Thrace was the real blessing. He promised Brigitte that these visions were Yllith's call for her to join the temple, and he could take her there because he used to be a priest. She wasn't crazy and she wasn't a savior forced to figure it all out on her own- she was a prophet who could get help to save these poor tortured souls.

A fresh start requires a slate burned clean.

She didn't expect the storm that night to be so bad. None of the villagers expected it. Brigitte still wonders if the storm was a punishment sent by Yllith for daring to abandon her village or if it was the goddess blessing her with a chance to escape. Thatched roofs caught on fire and then the rains swept everything else away. Brigitte ran to the merchant and they fled to Thrace. Culture shock was inevitable, but she learned to adjust with the help of the merchant. The temple took her in when they heard about Brigitte and once the priests witnessed one of her visions, they quickly gave her to the High Priestess. After all, who else would know how to interpret Yllith's words?

She is, if nothing else, good at playing the roles set aside for her (prophet, servant of the people, handmaiden to the voice of Yllith- Her Eminence). She just wishes there was more to it, enough to make her feel whole. Her Eminence only allows her to speak when absolutely necessary; this vow of silence is in Yllith's name but for Her Eminence's pride's sake.

TL;DR
- Brigitte was born in Dian and started having her visions when she turned 13. A few months later, the visions became realistic/painful enough to be noticeable and her village caught on.
- She was worshiped as a savior for a while until a merchant from Thrace came by and said he could take her to the main temple.
- A thunderstorm wrecks Brigitte's village and she runs away with the ex-priest. They make it to Thrace and she joins the temple.
- The temple places her with the High Priestess once she proves she has visions. Brigitte now serves the High Priestess and some say she's the next in line for the position. Brigitte just wants to figure out her visions and what Yllith wants.

- Brigitte is a pretty quiet person, which allows her to get all of the Sweet Gossip. I'm thinking this might have allowed her to even find out Her Eminence's name (since Brigitte is in her service) or at least some clues of what it could be.
- She is very task oriented, which is why her visions frustrate her so much. If Yllith could just tell her who to save or forgive or whatever, Brigitte would appreciate that.
- Having been in the convent and learned how to read more than a few words, she's become an avid reader. The vow of silence only applies to the spoken word, because Her Eminence probably thought Brigitte was too stupid to become literate enough to be a problem.
- She hates having her personal space invaded because of post-vision experiences in her home village. She's had to see a lot of things under the excuse of her presence 'blessing' the event...
- Brigitte is probably already feeling resentment toward the high priestess because of her demanding personality, but tries to tuck that deep inside of herself because Her Eminence would know best about Yllith's wishes... right? But she could definitely be manipulated enough into making an outburst against the high priestess (after some time), because she has a very deeply ingrained sense of right and wrong.
- She's still sorta clueless about the Odrysian empire because most of her time has been spent inside the temple lol. But she's totally willing to go out and explore... if someone is nice enough to go with her.
- I think it would be interesting if maybe some of the royals have found about her and tried to talk to her? After all, if someone so close to the high priestess has visions about them then maybe they could get the throne. Something something religion used to further political agendas lol.

• Why are you squeezing me with your body? Come on, this is a Bluth family celebration. It's no place for children. Michael was having brunch with Sally Sitwell at a restaurant called Skip Church's Bistro. In addition to brunch, the restaurant was known for an item on the menu called the "Skip's Scramble", an omelet that contained everything on the menu. Do not order the Skip's Scramble. I know, I just call her Annabelle cause she's shaped like a…she's the belle of the ball! That's so you can videotape it when they put you in a naked pyramid and point to your Charlie Browns. ♪♪ Somewhere… over the rainbow… there's another rainbow… ♪♪ A-coodle-doodle-doo.

  Butterscotch! Want a lick? I just dont want him to point out my cracker a** in front of Ann. Heyyyyy, hermano. I've always been deeply passionate about nature. Perhaps you remember Neuterfest? M: I'll never forget your wedding. Pound is tic-tac-toe, right? There's been a lot of lying in this family. And a lot of love! More lies. But I did finally get into Dad's pants. Although I had to have the crotch taken in a little bit.
  
  She's not 'that Mexican', Mom. She's my Mexican. And she's Colombian or something. What's gotten into you? Have you been eating cheese? Dad asked me to do this on the day he pleads not guilty, as a spectacular protest. A…. ? I just dont want him to point out my cracker a** in front of Ann. Fun and failure both start out the same way. That was Tom Cruise, the actor. Lucille: They said he was some kind of scientist. And with deep, deep concentration and, and great focus, he's often able to achieve an erect– Ohhh little guy. The tears aren't coming. The tears just aren't coming.
  
  George Bush doesn't care about black puppets. Probably out there without a flipper, swimming around in a circle, freaking out his whole family. You can control your bladder when you're dead! Sure, let the little fruit do it. HUZZAH! Well excuse me for liking the way they frame my junk!

xxNAME: Alazne Devereux
xxAGE: 25
xxGENDER: female
xxRACE: human
xxTRAITS: steadfast, passionate, spiteful, guarded
xxSUPERNATURAL POWER: N/A
xxHISTORY & MOTIVATION: Alazne was given to a brothel at a young age, which is how she received her last name. The Devereux Inn was more than happy to train a newcomer and she was more than happy to earn food and coins to buy her way out. Freedom was worth any price. Twelve years have passed and she still hasn’t made nearly enough to leave. But she has learned how to use people and their desires against them to get what she wants. She had thought up a plan to run away to make a new life and finally got the chance to put it into motion, but getting kidnapped and thrown into some strange mansion was not part of it. She’s leaving this place one way or another. Now if she could take some of the expensive, movable things from the mansion to help start her life at last... that would be a nice bonus.
