Character Sheet; Prone to frequent updating

"...in a world of angels and demons, I am but a mortal..."

Name:

Susan Amian Gampre

Alias(s):

The Madam

Owner and Proprietor of the Sisters in Sin

Whore, Homewrecker, She of Debauchery

B/D:

Estimated 3 ADP, claims to be in her mid to late twenties.

Accompaniment:

The Madam is not a woman without an entourage of some type, but these days she mostly keeps the company of her streak of tigers. Loyal employees from her establishment often find themselves with the title of the Madam's Confidants, such names are upon permanent record:

The List

Current criminal record consists of:

Repeated accounts of prostitution, breaking and entering, public indecency, trespassing, affray in a public space, willful killing, in-human treatment and torture and illegal ownership of endangered wildlife.

Initially the Madam was introduced to the world at the ripe age of eighteen; She had spent two years prior getting business changes in order when she overthrew her mother - a notorious woman known as Tilda Gampre - in the Brothel world... Notorious for many reasons from the mistreatment of workers and her children to a poorly ran brothel -- But Tilda's worst charge by far is the willful selling and whoring of her children.

Susan's early efforts to spread the word of the reestablished Sisters in Sin came at the price of her time and dignity while socializing with the public by day and partying with scum by night. She was exposed to the darkest society had to offer and came out of many of those instances battered, bruised and with metaphorical blades in her back -- Or having shoved metaphorical blades into the backs of others.

She has inserted her fingers into multiple pies for tasting, endured hardships as any typical business proprietor would. She has seen the consequences of poor decisions, felt the weight of her people's lives on her shoulders and never once buckled beneath the pressure. Now, nearly a decade into her world of organized sin, the Madam has done as she always swore she would. Survived, rose an empire in the wake of every sacrifice made on her end.

The worst of her mood is oft shown through a cutting gaze and a consistent resting bitch face. The Madam never proclaims to be an approachable woman, but she is by no means a physically intimidating woman. In fact she is quite charming by human standards, though perhaps of average beauty in comparison to some draenei or sin'dorei women. Regardless she is bestowed full lips usually painted in her signature color of red, irises of a beautiful deep yellow gold are framed by thick lashes and oft, her eyelids are set in a constant state of bedroom eyes. Her features are soft and present as delicate despite her hardened exterior.

A slender neck with similar shoulders peek out from beneath thick, long brunette hair oft left to fall down the length of her back in romantic waves. There is a distinct sharp hourglass curve to her womanly silhouette, it can be noted beneath her varying degrees of immodest outfits. Her secret may, depending on some outfits, be contributed that corsets with strong spines are used to cinch her waist into that desirable if not dramatic curve. She is only always wearing heels of a minimum six inches to provide her five foot stature alittle more height. Something which enhanced her towering confidence and Queen Bee attitude. Despite these unreasonably tall break neck heel choices, she walks with the expected grace and swagger of any whore. Self assured, prideful even. Always excreting an air of sexuality and charm -- Often leaving a pungent redolence of spice and smoke in her wake.

~

Additional knowledge for the general public:

She believes in peace among factions and has fought hard to categorize her place of business as a neutral standing for all walks of life. It helps that they are located in south western Pandaria, a continent ripe with it's forgiving wiles. The Sisters in Sin brothel holds some notoriety for being a place of debaucherous tendencies, but remains an open hub for networking and business opportunities. It isn't rare for the Madam to offer beds and food to travelers for reasonable nightly rates.

The Madam is renown for her love of big cats and has asserted very public efforts into decreasing poacher operations on an international scope. The young and adult animals saved are either handed over to rehabilitation centers or released straight into the wild following check ups -- Susan has spent plenty enough in her time, to have an idea of how to grow confident, feral wild animals.

Additionally, the Madam is an avid hunter. She, other locals and her tigers make it an annual endeavor to invest some time in hunting big game together across all of Pandaria to bring back to the mountain town home of the Sisters in Sin Brothel -- As a means to feed the locals with more than just their reliable source of fishing. The Madam does believe in hunting for survival, thus every piece of their kills gets utilized in some way.

The Madam is quite the fashionista. She is always eager to meet new vendors or artisians of beautiful things to buy their wears.

Seeking:

Business, casual acquaintances, friends. Particularly intrigued with having partners in crime~ More than willing to trade in secrets or coin. Pleased to host the lost, wounded or weary in her den of sin for coin or work.

RP Hooks ––– –

Wanderer: Soriya travels. Like a lot. It’s not all that uncommon to find her… well, just about anywhere. Whether it’s sunny beaches, withering swamps, rocky mountain trails, winter wonderlands, exotic locations, or cities big and small? She likes to see it all, and actively tries to make that goal happen. If you ever had a character who’s in the more remote locations of the world, or even just getting away from the cities for a more vibrant setting? She’s easy to put anywhere in the world.

Martial Arts/Competitive streak: Being a monk by trade (And lifestyle) Soriya is practiced in several hand to hand combat styles. Having learned from the fable fist fighters themselves, there’s a sense of pride in her craft and a drive to hone it. While she certainly focuses on the healing arts more so than the offensive ones? She isn’t lacking in the other disciplines. She enjoys spars, and will egg them on if she finds an interested party.

Natural Healer: Soriya has devoted much of her young life into practicing the techniques taught by the Jade Serpent Discipline. She uses healing mists to rejuvenate and heal those who need it (Including but not limited to her foes). It’s not a stretch for her to offer this line of help to anyone she notices as injured, or will take it upon herself if the other party is unconscious. Her healing arts are deeply rooted in Nature and Life Force magic, and as such are far less invasive then Light based spells and abilities. Her magic helps to boost natural recovery, making it less instantaneous but easier on the body in the long run. A great caveat for characters who are weary of the Light or can not handle that brand of magic.

Pandarian Transplant: After coming to the Wandering Isles at the tender age of 18, Soriya has since become engrossed and equally engrained in their culture. It’s not uncommon for her to be among the temples there, having studied among many of them she often times goes back to train or even teach. Though unrelated to her monkly duties, she does enjoy the culture more so then she enjoys her own. That includes the food, and Halfhill market, where she can be found. Or the various scenic or cultural points in Pandaria as a whole. Anything in that broad category is palatable to her.

Who is someone you would like to meet, but haven't yet?

With a mangled exhale the seafarer would shrug her shoulders at this question, remarking with honesty - if not abit of indifference, "I've sailed these seas and traversed the lands of Azeroth proper for the greatest majority of my life," this was the truth in all regards. Emillie had lived a thorough and eventful human life to the greatest of her capabilities, seafaring was her greatest love and it has seen her through the worst and best of her life.

"I can't imagine anyone out there tha' really strikes my interest in gettin' to know, yah know? My life is my work, it don' bother me none to be out of the loop with the who's who. If I'm meant to know yah, it'll happen."

She'd offer a nod of acknowledgement before returning her full attention to hardened hands making quick work of pulling ropes into the boat. She was in the midst of assisting two other pullers, the net casted off the side of the ship hauling up a bounty of fish, crab and other creatures of the sea.
