Infiltrator CR Meme: The Cursed Kingdom!
Once you've decided what role you want to play as an infiltrator, brainwashed to believe you belong in Dolorosa, this is the place to talk with other players about shared backstory and relationships you'd like to plan out for the plot. If you're playing a plot-important role, we'd ask that you not disclose any plot secrets here, obviously, and for ease of identification we ask that characters not change their first names unless absolutely necessary for suspension of disbelief, but otherwise everything is fair game! Just make a top-level comment below with your character's name in the subject line, fill out the little form, and then tag around as you like!

no subject
Backstory/Description of new identity: The Red Illuminant emerged from, well, somewhere or other shortly after the disappearance of the Queen. She has been a presence a few months on and a few months off in court since her arrival in Dolorosa, never changing in appearance. She always shows up in times of relative peace - when strife between two houses has finally been made, she shows up, smiling, and very gently stirs the pot, and suddenly people are at each others' throats again. She isn't often seen to start fights, but she always seems to be in the middle of them, and despite her mysterious beauty doesn't really have any friends or suitors. At least not any living ones. When not in court, Red retreats to her stronghold in the Ash Wastes to surround herself with tiny dragons and bathe in heat.
She is likely working at cross-purposes with all the other Illuminants, but especially Violet, because he wants someone to take the throne while she wants the strife and chaos to continue. Or get worse. Ideally.
Significant changes in personality/mannerisms: Lila has always been aggressive, but coolly so - now she's all heat. She hasn't lost her ability to plan, but rather than planning for a distinct end goal, she has designs on chaos and destruction. She also has a much stronger temper - which means if you make her angry and there's a way for her to kill you without getting caught, she'll do it without blinking.
Kinds of CR/RP scenarios you're looking for with this plot: Negative is PRETTY MUCH WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE; she does not like or want the other kind and is mostly incapable of it, but I'm up for trying anything.
Anything Else: I was on hiatus for almost all of last month, so I have definitely missed some stuff. If I mess up/assume something weird/am otherwise out of the loop, please let me know!!
