Cassidy Thornhope, Conservationist of Creation and the Not

while I’m redoing old characters, let’s reboot up Cassidy too now that I’ve actually read the High Summoning book and lets make her more like steve irwin while we’re at it

Cassidy Thornhope has always been a rowdy girl ready to fistfight anything even as the young Power of Traffic Lights, but those feelings were tempered towards the noble cause of WILDLIFE CONSERVATION when the wise Edith Gibbs, Saint of Gossamer and renowned High Summoner, took her under her wing. 

Now, Cassidy is a defender of both the ecosystems of Creation and the Lands Beyond Creation! She firmly believes in sustainable wildlife practices like rehabilitating captured Excrucians and releasing them beyond the Weirding Wall and making sure other High Summoners don’t irresponsibly release too many strange beings from beyond the veil.

As a High Summoner, she’s had to cultivate a persona native to the Lands Beyond Creation - a Self Beyond Creation, if you will. Unfortunately, those who have delved deeply into High Summoning have found that their own otherworldly selves tend to eclipse them, making it hard to distinguish who came first or who is the true self. Cassidy’s other self is The Rhapsody of the Three Coloured Eye, and Cassidy is beginning to find traces of the Rhapsody’s actions around; actions that Cassidy herself never performed.

However! That is no reason to despair! 

Cassidy would be considered to have either High Summoning 3 or 4 in 2e, though her work with Excrucians might mean that she has 4.

Traffic Lights… … command the flow of movement (3) … can be ignored with great personal risk (2) … guard the intersection of paths (1) … protect those who’d travel the roads (1)

Attributes (15 CP) Aspect 0 Domain 0 Persona 0 Treasure 5

Skills Daredevil 4 Biology 1 Passion: I matter! 1 Quick Learner 1

Bondifications (13 + 5) Affliction (4): I’m not going to have a happy ending. > Not an Anchor, but this Affliction is tied to the persona of the Rhapsody of the Three Coloured Eye, the Self Beyond Creation that Cassidy created Bond (4): I can darn well wrestle anything I like! > Miraculous Anchor: an Abhorrent weapon, bound to her arm, that can manifest as a lasso, supernaturally good at binding and holding anything down. Possibly Leviathan that is Entanglement, as tied to Nilo d'Aventine the Strategist. Also her arm looks hella freaky, all void and traffic colour lights. Bond (2): I want to learn all about the Creatures of the Not! > Wondrous Anchor: An iPad with a diary of all the monstrosities she has met, an entomology app, sketches of rituals and many notes on many kinds of interesting “bugs”. Bond (2): Excrucians are an invasive species! Relocate or, worst case scenario, remove by any means necessary! > Miraculous Anchor: Nilo d'Aventine, a Strategist I am, uh, rehabilitating. He’s too injured to release back into the wild. Bond (2): I have a complex system of favours that I have to tend to occasionally, which hopefully means that I’ll owe a favour to the weak Dermaptera Vida Almsq and this influential Lepidoptera will eventually owe me a favour! (it’s like a paperclip okay?) Bond (1): I must not pierce the flesh of any creature directly, for this is a deal I have made with the Hymenoptera TranscEnding > Wondrous Anchor: TranscEnding, a creature of the Not, some sort of equivalent to a marauding siege weapon. It’s my pal now.

3 free Bond Points to allocate to temporary Anchors.

Gifts Durant (1 CP) Luck (1 CP)

RED LIGHT! (2 CP) (Lesser Destruction of Motion (5 CP), Normal (1 MP, -2 CP), local things only (-1 CP), one trick (-3 CP), rare (+1 CP), 2 CP) Cassidy can stop the motion of beings around her, just like her estate can.

GREEN LIGHT! (3 CP) (Lesser Animation of Everything (4 CP), Normal (1 MP, -2 CP), local things only (-1 CP), one trick (-3 CP), rare (+1 CP)), 3 CP) With this power, Cassidy can force anything away to move past/away from herself.

Amber Light… (2 CP) (Lesser Destruction of Continuous Distance (5 CP), Normal (1 MP, -2 CP), local things only (-1 CP), one trick (-3 CP), rare (+1 CP), 2 CP) The yellow light on the Traffic Light is a warning for all to slow down. Combined with eldritch powers, Cassidy can twist space so that all beings approaching her can never reach their destination in the manner of Zeno’s Paradox.

Sovereign’s Application (1 CP) (Lesser Enchantment of Own Estate (4 CP), 1 MP (-2), Global (+1), Limited (-2), Common (0), 1 CP) This Gift allows Powers with low Persona to gift a property of their Estate unto anything.

Notes: This version of Cassidy uses the skill Daredevil to cover wrestling, fighting, horseriding, anything she just throws herself into - she’s not good at those things, but she makes up for it with pure enthusiasm.

TranscEnding has Superior Explosion 3, Bloodthirsty 1, and either some sort of Greater Creation of Explosions gift or a single use World Breaker’s Hand type thing. It is some sort of perpetually changing-transforming thing, which in Creation manifests as a perpetual explosion. Cassidy keeps it in her Chancel which doesn’t make her Siblings Caelestis particularly happy, but it’s only limited to a fairly small territory where it can’t do that much harm.

She still has Gatekeeper. Indomitable might be cool. Called Away to the Outside with the Rhapsody of the Three Coloured Eye as her Shadow would be awesome.

Actually I should make a post about what Arcs High Summoners should get!

Hey, look y’all, it’s me!

[cantid]

a dream i had last night

[dremolachofwar]

Hey! Big boy! Y'aint as tough as ya think you are! WANNA WRESTLE??????

Hello, Pawn.

As the supreme authority in the matters of War and thus quite capable judge of violent delights and violent ends, I can already see you’d be able to outwrestle me.

…Using something that’s highly stupid to have attached to your body. What in Lucifer’s Love were you thinking?!

[redambergreen]

Y’know, people keep asking me that question. I do think! I did a lot of thinkin’ when I bound this monstrosity to my arm, and what I thought was that it’d be a bloody good idea that might win us the war!

Still no regrets over here!

[from redambergreen, the power of traffic lights] Hey there! I'm Cassie, Domina of Traffic Lights, and I was thinkin' of askin': you up for some wrestlin'?

@cadaeix @redambergreen

Though not as ancient as other powers could be, Orjana had grown used to odd happenings around her. Divinity, by its nature, attracted strange attention and the workings of fate–even her cow-form was a magnet of notice. The only place she could go completely unnoticed was her Chancel, and her wandering instincts took her far from that place. Despite this, she hadn’t expected the appearance of another Power, instead content to graze in a patch of sweet clover.

Abruptly lifting her head at the question, Orjana paused mid-chew. Eyes wide with shock, the white-gold flecks sparkling in the countryside sun, she snorted. The heifer braced herself a little, studying the Domina and slowly swallowing the grass in her mouth.

“…Moo?” A tentative sniff. A single step forward. She was still a bit shocked, and wasn’t sure how else to answer the question. Never a social creature, words failed the demigoddess.

[redambergreen]

There’s a cowboy with a twinkle in her eye and an insouciant smirk, and she has her hands in her pockets as she approaches the cow. “Moo to ya too, pretty,” she says. “I heard that you’re a cow of taste and culture, so I’ll repeat my question; you down t’wrestle? Or just a chat between Powers, coz I’m bored. I hear you’re good with cows. I used to herd cows!”

Psst. Hey. If you want a challenging beast to wrassle with, the Saint of Eclipses is actually the biggest voidbeast ever recorded. You gotta try and take him on!

You can’t fool me! He ain’t a voidbeast, he’s just a really big dog- though I’m totally gonna tackle that big sunuvabitch one day. 

Unfortunately, messin’ with other nobles is a big nono in the, uh, society. I had a run in with what I thought was a squid, but it turned out to be the Marquis of Refraction and my familia had to go ‘n this quest to rescue me from her slimy clutches!

One day I’m gonna wrassle Casimir, but it’ll be a friendly wrassle and I won’t, like, seek to bind him or anything.

I promise!

[redambergreen]

Hey, cool! Does this mean you can make yer own hot tub or whatever any time you want?

D’ya have to be so loud though, can barely hear myself think. Anyway, we got this or what???

[and without further ado, she catapults herself at the Saint]

DID YOU JUST CALL ME A DOG?!

THAT DOES IT! MEET ME IN THE PIT, PAWN!

[redambergreen]

You’re on! 

Why. Why are you doing this. Why is this a thing that is happening.

Wait, which pit are we talkin’ about? There’s a lotta pits in Creation.

Don’t tell me we’re meeting in like the pit of a fruit or somethin’!

Domina of Traffic Lights, what do you think of the galas and meetings of our fine and Noble society?

Now lemme tell you, when they say you’re gonna be a god they don’t mention the fact that bein’ a god comes with a whole lot of parties that you gotta go to! And you have to dress up and be all fancy and, hell, that really ain’t for me. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to my first party by my familia, practically.

Now I’m all cool with it, but there’s things you just can’t do at parties apparently, like wrestlin’. 

How was I to know that the starry eyed bastard just chillin in front of the party door was a bouncer? And what kinda party hires Excrucians to serve as security?!

[redambergreen]

To the most efficient and proper Moralist in the general area. I hope that this song about water will soothe the minor inconvenience of being trapped in this picturesque corner of Creation - “Spiders” Georgia, Domina of Multitudes.

Ha, ha. Very funny. Drowning must be a joke to you.

He’s still listenin’ to it! He likes it!

No, I do not.

He’s got it on repeat!

[redambergreen]

Just don't breathe too hard at Nilo, he might keel over and fall from the world, as Moralists often do. - Ol' Gary.

Go oversalt your weeds, Agaryk. Some of us have more dignified desires than playing with plants.

[redambergreen]

Hey, kid, it's good you've strongarmed Nilo into playing nice for a change. Some fresh, Creation-y air will do him good. - Ol' Gary.

Thanks! I think Creation is doing wonders for his constitution, he’s not coughing as much!

The very air of Cneph’s goddammned monstrosity chokes my lungs with horrible artifice. I cannot wait until I am freed from these chains, because no longer will I be forced to drown over and over again.

Oh, stop being melodramatic. You’re not drowning and Creation’s pretty nice when you get to know it.

I beg to differ.

[redambergreen]

All strategists are, indeed, hikkikimori. It is in their Arc.

I am not a hikkomori. I do not spend all day in the house of my forefathers, parasitically subsiding on their wealth.

Oh, lemme count the ways. You don’t like reality, but instead of doin’ something about that you skulk around and lie around in your pockets of unreality “weaving the not” or whatever metaphor you use for masturbating!

No. No. Do not ascribe your disgusting onanism to me. I am not a shut in. I am an ARTIST.

When’s your manga comin’ out then?

... Hah, he’s sulking now.
