Tumblr is such a functional website... It keeps giving me a weird error when I try to send asks on occasion and I cannot tell if they're actually going through or not...
So uh if I owe you ask or you get double asks from me I apologize, this is why
Very excited because I have a four day staycataion starting now which means! I will be around lots and I look forward to chewing everyone's ears off with Lest
Please reblog this if it’s okay for me to just pop into your ask box to RP with you, even if you haven’t reblogged a meme, because I just want to RP with you
*NOTE - A lot of these verses are fairly non-specific to any one property mostly to make my life a little easier. The examples given are also just series I foresee myself interacting with. I may not have an actual understanding or background with the media, which is also why the generic verses helps me to get my foot in the door without needing to know everything about the game/show/etc to start with.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘, 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒-
Born in a land far away, Lest was one of many orphans, left on the doorstep of an orphanage with bad intentions and little funding. The kids were ferried off to a prosperous new land, or so they'd been told. The reality was that there was more of a market for extra labor in little hands then anyone with belief in the betterment of society might want to believe. Thus her life became a game of staying useful enough not to end up in the wrong place. A sticky fingered little kid with mild dreams of stability, she looked out for the other kids with her until one by one they all ended up in unsavory places.
Lest wound up sold to a brothel to do the menial little tasks that fell through the cracks. Cleaning, bringing things to people, leading customers to the right rooms. Eventually Lest grew up, dangerous in it's own right. She worked at the brothel as a lady of the night to help pay her way into a transition that suited her. And with enough money under her belt she was able to do just that, and put a little away to leave and venture out on her own.
With the smallest bit of magic to her blood, Lest was able to utilize her skills in foresight to make something of a decent living selling fortune telling as she travelled between major cities. Though no one of import, she was able to make enough connection that a few more risky jobs were requested of her. Spywork and being an informant were not skills she ever thought she would need to hone, but it became quickly apparent that she was all too good at them not to take the more lucrative offers for the work.
Eventually, though dangerous, she became known for her information gathering. Her neutrality on local conflicts being a patron of no kingdom and a daughter of no flag made her the ideal choice for all walks of life looking for secrets whispered where no better man should venture.
Getting ahold of her is more challenging then one might assume however, only found by looking in the right places at the ideal times, she is as illusive and hesitant as any good informant should be. Trust is in limited supply, unless you have the coin to earn it.
Lest is non-human, a rare species of hybrid that appears like part silver serval and part human. Her people are rare to find, though becoming more rare as more cases like hers happen around the lands. As such, it makes her ability to get into places where others might struggle much easier. Everyone with the status and money is willing to entertain the exoticism having a woman such as her in their court, even if only for a short while.
𝐂𝐘𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐊 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒 - (EX: Cyberpunk 2077, etc)
The only way to make it in this world is to put your scraps to the test. Where most choose a mercenary lifestyle, or try to play military to go by the book to try and make their breakaway, Lest chose none of the above. Her actions might cause violence, but she'll never get her hands bloody.
She knew all too early that information was power and while she had no problem lying and selling the falsities in future telling to anyone who would believe them, the real money was in information brokering and information theft.
With the tech ability to briefly form a non-intrusive connection through touch, she could siphon little bits of information from others data-nets. That skill building into a robust hacking portfolio. Lifting files from the unawares per the request of her clientele.
Though getting ahold of her was a bit tricky, only able to be contacted through the right fixer or merc contact, she was something of a myth, she was well worth the search. Going by the call sign of Mystic, very few know of her beyond her false name. She's done an excellent job of wiping any minor evidence of her existence outside of her control off the face of the net.
Lest is an augmented human, with much of her augments making her look the way she does. The digitrade legs, tall animalesque ears, tail and minor facial adjustments, all part of her transition and help her to feel most comfortable in her body.
𝐒𝐂𝐈-𝐅𝐈 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐒 - (EX: Mass effect, Star Wars, etc)
Thankfully able to remain out of the limelight of the authorities despite her planet hopping often being less then legal, Lest was an expert at bartering her way in and out of wherever she needed to go. Peddling a trait her species was known for, the ability to briefly look into the future through touch, she used the parlor trick to keep her pockets from being empty.
All the while her other species skill of excellent hearing kept her appraised of the shady underdealings in the slums of cities. Something that the right people were always willing to pay for. Eventually, this information dealing built her up enough of a reputation to be regarded by the bigger organizations, and thus her more lucrative but dangerous career of being an information broker began.
Known as Mystic to anyone looking to hire her for her services, she's a challenge to get in contact with. Usually, word will get back to her, and she'll reach out to you first. Her network appears to span across the stars though no one knows exactly how far.
Lest is an alien species, they're harder to find outside of their quadrant of the universe but she didn't exactly have a choice in leaving her galaxy and at this point she's too far removed from the culture to want to go back without feeling like an outsider.
The world often wants to file everyone neatly into good and bad with the middle ground disappearing in-between but Lest never believed things to be quite so black and white. Instead, holding true to her neutrality, Lest's powers gave her the ability to blend into the large non-important sector of civilians. With a minor ability to see into the future through physical contact with someone, she's able to give a glimpse of potential futures to whoever is willing to pay to have their palm read.
Though that's not all she does. Being able to seem non-threatening and unimportant gives her the ease of doing her much more lucrative side job of being an informant without much hassle. With hearing like hers and a penchant for smooth talking, she's able to steal whatever information needed and return it to the awaiting hands of whoever her patron is at the time. Regardless of what side of the proverbial black and white line they work on. Her prerogative is to survive and stay afloat, morals are for those with a safety net. And she's never been in a position to have one of those.
Though usually because of her unaffiliate nature, organizations are hesitant to reach out to her, she is often the option people choose off the record to keep their business in the dark.
Lest is human by blood but by appearance she is far from your average human. With animal traits like that of a silver serval such as tall furred ears, a tail, digitirade legs, and catlike facial features, she sticks out in a crowd. But in a world where people are superpowered, she wishes she wasn't stared at so often.

Due to the fact that resources are limited and usually pretty sketchy or expensive in Zaun, Lest has gotten pretty handy at stretching ingredients. She's not the most amazing cook ever but she's able to make some pretty decent food given what she's usually working with.
It's rare, but on the occasions she's able to pick up a few things from Piltover, she'll usually make a meal to split with the kids near where she lives, or bring the extras to the girls at Babette's.
