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!
Alcuin nó Delaunay || Yellow Illuminated
Backstory/Description of new identity: This inhumanly beautiful young man stepped out of the Oakgate Forest perhaps fifteen years ago, nearly seven years before the Queen vanished. He looked about twenty then, and still does today - time doesn't seem to touch him. Gentle and polite, this mage, who goes by the name Alcuin, listens to the pleas of the common folk, and comforts them in their distress. From time to time he has been known to entertain children by creating coins out of nothing, or brightening a dark place. His laughter is infectious, bringing out joy and happiness in others. The people tend to warily appreciate his presence, but they can never forget that he is different. Probably not even human. Women and men alike have been known to grow yellow with jealousy about his apparent wealth and beauty, speaking ill of him when he has gone rather than saying so to his face. He wanders from place to place, riding a shimmering golden stallion. And yet, bandits seem to avoid trying to capture him.
Significant changes in personality/mannerisms: Mostly, Alcuin doesn't change - he's sweet, kind, even-tempered, and genuinely wants to help make people happy. But unlike usual, there are times where he simply won't care. You may have the most bitter tale of woe ever, and if there is nothing in helping you that might further his cause or somehow get something for him? He's likely to simply walk away.
Kinds of CR/RP scenarios you're looking for with this plot: Anyone! Anything! Negative or positive. Particularly with other Illuminated or common folk. Magical creatures or Cursed folk are awesome too. I'm new here. I'm up for practically anything.
Anything Else:
He's looking for someone. Or something. A Dart of some sort? Or is it a mountain stronghold? A particular sheaf of wheat? The Queen, perhaps? A cygnet? Or was that a signet. It's hard to say. One of the best ways of gaining his favor is to make him laugh. One of the easiest ways to earn his enmity is to suggest sleeping with him.
Re: Alcuin nó Delaunay || Yellow Illuminated
(Ambrose came from The Thicket itself, and if one dares go look - and he thinks them worthy - they'll find him there in a very well appointed bower, heavy with lilacs in bloom and carpeted by violets. Assuming he doesn't have another guise to occupy himself with.)
Re: Alcuin nó Delaunay || Yellow Illuminated
He doesn't precisely have a quarrel with you, Violet, he just doesn't think most of your themes and goals fit very well with his. But when he bickers with you, he's being friendly about it! No real enmity. Maybe some jealousy. But only a little.
