CASTER – QUEEN OF SHEBA (FATE)

' even if you can see the future, it's just knowledge. the connection between hearts fostered daily is something that can not be stolen by others '

(application. stats. perm call [wip] )

fabled queen who historians debate on whether or not she truly existed, who traveled to deliver gifts to solomon and seek wisdom from him who has manifested as a heroic spirit under the class of caster. there are many, many, many rumors and stories about her history but if you ask her she'll never give a straight answer!

'what's her real name' sorry, that information is reserved for select personnel only! of course, you can try to pay her for that information but no amount of money will be enough <3

is half-human and half-djinn, evident by the jackal ears, long tail, and the horns she occasionally lets be seen. while, yes, she can hide her animal features she doesn't really bother except for the horns purely for the fact they get caught on more than enough things! also no, you cannot touch her ears nor her tail

has a clairvoyance that is said to rival even solomon's (it is not fun!) but her approach to her clairvoyance is glib in some ways– she rather hates both knowing and telling the future of those she's close to, as the slightest thing can change it, so sheba would rather not mention it at all. her goofy and carefree nature also helps to deal with this– there's no choice in seeing, she can't simply close her eyes to that sight, but it makes the burden of it easier to bare

has in her company three djinn (view here!) by the names of ehad, shtayim, & shalosh. while she may not have them currently, when she does, whatever they say PLEASE don't listen to them they're lying and having fun at her expense–

loves camels. ADORES camels. wants a camel really, really badly

considers memories to be the most valuable treasure of all! yes, she loves treasure in general as well as a good deal, but nothing can compare to the memories one makes and carries with them through life

despite being a queen she really isn't for that sort of demeanor, so to speak. she has no want nor interest to be referred to as your majesty or any of the like, given that her kindgom has long since returned to the sands so if you're expecting her to roast you or demand distance for being in the presence of royalty, it ain't gonna happen

[spiriteyed]

" I haven't faced a puzzle like this since Salem..... although far less technologically advanced." the room was a stark, clinical white. the artificial lights only further drowned out any sort of color, save for the blinking red bulbs of the alarms going off throughout the facility. this room – what she assumed to be the control room, though unlike chaldea's – overlooked a far larger room with catwalks that were either on the verge of falling apart or already broken. and beneath those catwalks looked just to be a simple, empty space lined with servers.

and yet she did not trust it. it was too easy. too straightforward. the stairs behind them led to that lower floor but whoever had done this would not let anyone get away that easily.

fingers tap against the keyboard of one terminal, seeing if anything would happen. more text she couldnt't understand. was it asking for a password? a key? there was that slot next to the terminal but she had neither a key nor time. there follows a rather dramatic sigh and then she's slamming her fist into the terminal.

the lights of the room flicker for a few seconds and then there's a hiss. something is being released in the lower level– steam? a gas of some kind? there was no way to tell. another sigh as she looks over her shoulder to her companion, still finding a reason to grin.

" You won't be able to punch your way out of this one, dear."

[spiriteyed]

it's a perfect day, really. the sun is out and the temperature is just right for the caster. the sky is blue with clouds as white as snow and people go about their daily lives, passing by sheba and her companion from their spot outside a cafe. it was her invitation, one she was glad that django had accepted. he was one of the few who caught her eye from her time before in this city and it was a surprise to see he still remained.

" So, how has life been for you?" she inquires, fingertips resting against the glass of her mimosa. such a mundane question, but one could learn many things in them. " How has business been?"

@sanpatron

[spiriteyed]

" The weekend is almost upon us.....perhaps I'll spend some time at the oasis. Surely it will be a peaceful time, so it's best to take advantage of it."

[spiriteyed]

" Years have passed in this place since I was here last. Years and yet–"

it is almost comical, the way her ears flatten slightly in what can only be described as a mixture of disappointment and sorrow. for the queen, there's not many things that can cause her to display such emotions. while content to go with the flow (until it requires her to pull away from it), she just can't accept the state of things at the moment.

" They still haven't thought to get any camels. The desert is perfect for them!"

@jestistentialcrisis

[edgedwing]

"But, mermaids don't have legs. Why would they be at a mall?"

[spiriteyed]

"No, not at the mall itself but at a cove on the beach nearby the mall!"

[spiriteyed]

" Now, there's one of two ways we can do this! One is that you play the part of a poor, lost soul who just so happens to stumble upon the criminal's abode while delirious from a lack of sleep."

the words are said she the queen continues to lead the pair further into the depths of crimson lane, hot on the trail of a small group that happened to get on her bad side earlier in the day, luckily for her that she spotted the lancer. it was better to go in as a pair than alone, not that the caster wasn't sure she could handle it on her own. insurance, as one might say.

" Or two– we pretend to be sent by an enemy faction and just go in guns blazing!" the caster pauses for a moment. " Well, not that literally but you get what I mean!"

@robustdragonheart

[spiriteyed]

oh dear.

" Some of this behaviour reminds me of my son......he handled it just as poorly!"

[spiriteyed]

" With a name such as Mermaid Cove Mall, you'd expect there to be a cove for mermaids nearby."

there's an exaggerated sigh as she places a hand against her chest. " I think I would make a rather lovely mermaid. "

[ 🌧️ ]ㅤ.ㅤis there a pain they refuse to heal from ?

no! she's had to say many farewells and face many less than happy scenarios, but she doesn't hold onto that pain to let it fester like an infected wound. if she's not in good shape, then how can she help others feel a bit more relaxed and at ease?

[ 💭 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they believe they’re worthy of being loved ?

of course! she's loved and been loved before and it can just as well happen again. she doesn't have any doubts about being worthy of that and also believes others are worthy of it too.

[ 🍃 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they feel like they belong ?

that depends on the type of belong. generally speaking? no, but not in a negative sense. she's a heroic spirit, a legend made manifest that's summoned for a specific reason and once that duty is over, she'll return to the sands like a mirage. her existence is naturally an ephemeral one now. of course the throne gives her knowledge of modern times, but it's not exactly a place she 'belongs' in such a sense. however, she will enjoy her time to the fullest!

she does crave it! she's a rather affectionate person, but also makes sure that affection is within the respectable limits of the other! however only very, very few are allowed to touch her ears or tail in return

[ 🎐 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a sound, like a song or voice, that they associate with peace ?

getting a little gay with it but! solomon's voice is one she associates with peace. that time with him is something she looks fondly back upon. so his voice reminds her of a more peaceful time!

[ 🕊️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen did they feel the safest ?

i don't think there was ever a safest, as being queen naturally came with its own dangers, as well as traveling to and from places. if i had to say, despite how chaotic this city is, she's felt safest here! horrors aside and all, you know

[ 🦇 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat is a fear they never talk about ?

telling the future of those she's closest to and the worst outcome occurring. clairvoyance, at least to her, isn't so much of a blessing as it is a curse in ways. anything can change the future and if she were to tell someone what she sees? and suddenly it changes to misfortune? it is one of her bigger fears. she's almost flippant about it for that very reason.

[ 🔒 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat is a secret they’ve sworn never to tell ?

probably the whole solomon - romani thing! she'll always refer to them as two separate people, unless she's talking to someone who already knows like those from chaldea

[ 🪢 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen was the last time they broke a promise ?

skill issue because she's never broken a promise and has no intentions to break any of her promises, no matter how little or grand they be

[ 🫳 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho do they feel they owe, but never paid back ?

romani, the good ol' doctor! she showed up at chaldea too late to speak to him or even see him, but it's an unspoken promise of hers to help keep chaldea and all her worked for safe from harm. some may say that's something that will never end, an eternal debt, but it's something that sheba doesn't mind. yes, she knows the doctor is different from solomon, but that doesn't change her promise. even if it comes at the cost of herself, that's fine.

[wolftccth]

A small smirk widened at her respond, even a chuckle finds their way to his lips. For some reason or another, talking with her honestly made him calm. She reminds him a lot of blake in a way, a good friend he has back at home. "Sounds awfully lot like we're no different from each other. Well, besides being a legend of your own world, although I have no idea what that has to do with summoning. Just two folks who have to deal with their own organization." Not that he knew the details of what she does.

The shift in her demeanor says it all, the merth of wanting to know more. The knowledge. Its something Edward been trying to do while tied to this island, seeking information about other beings, "i wouldn't call myself a hunter... more like an executioner or maybe a butcher." Even if they were horrible beings, he still had their bloods on his hands. "I've dealt with many things, actually. List goes on when you lived for longer than humans do. We even have a dragon working in our organization. Unicorns, mystical creatures, trickers, and the list goes on. Would need a paper ready for how many shit i had to deal with." He laughed.

[spiriteyed]

yes, that was more like it. she preferred it when others were relaxed in her presence– a simple wish to help ease any burden, to give someone happier memories to look back on. " Maybe one day I'll tell you more. A lady deserves some secrets to keep the people guessing! But I agree. Finding similar people makes life easier. My organization is not so different. Working to preserve humanity, fighting threats that put it in danger. You'd be surprised how much more I'd prefer a mystical creature than one of many gods so sure that they're right."

it sounded far simpler. there was once a time in her life such things weren't a concern for her, but that time has long since passed. it's amazing how what he's saying catches her attention, as if it was something new to learn altogether.

" A dragon? Do they have a human form or do they just go about as a dragon? I can't imagine one fitting inside of a building unless they were the size of a domestic cat." the image of a dragon pops into her mind, adorned with a tie around its neck and a sword in its mouth and it's enough to get the caster to laugh even more. " Unicorns, though.....I've seen a bicorn, fought a few even, but never a unicorn. Myths on them have some coherency, so tell me– are they like in those fairy tale books? "

“heaven forbid. we’re all entitled to our secrets.”

“sitting by the fire while you do all the hard work sounds marvelous, actually.”

“couldn’t you wait ten minutes before being an absolute freak?”

“you’re welcome to try and kill me, of course. but i don’t die easily these days.”

“ugh, don’t be so nice to me. it makes me want to be nice back.”

“a horrible death is always just around the corner with you.”

“stabbing someone a dozen times can be many things. but ‘the right thing to do’? hm, i doubt it.”

“immortality is only as good as the life you’re living. an eternity of luxury sounds a lot better than an eternity of struggle.”

“what are you doing? this isn’t safe. you can’t trust him.”

“look, i’m a not a details person, all right. but turning up and causing chaos has worked for us so far.”

“they were clearly artists. you can tell because it’s a mess in here.”

“you know, there is a point where bravery becomes stupidity. and walking into that thing would be very, very stupid.”

“i’ve had enough of bad poets singing of my looks - urgh.”

“is the plant bothering you?”

“until then, try not to die.”

“oh yes, i’m fine. i just feel… awful.”

“shut that oversized chicken up.”

“you know, the only way to cure temptation… is to give in to it.”

“next time, just warn me before you do something stupid.”

“there certainly is a strong ambience down here. i don’t know if it’s the bats or the decaying - everything. it’s quite homey.”

“it’s nice to see heroes are as awful as the rest of us.”

“unusually polite for a god.”

“of all the places you dragged me, this might just be the most foul. and that is saying something, given some of the things you exposed me to.”

“i mean, i hate to judge the proverbial book, but that oath may be all cover and no pages.”

“a shapeshifter? it could be anyone. i mean - it’s not me. but it could be anyone else.”

“sometimes we need to think with our heads before our knifes, dear.”

“you could watch for anyone acting strangely, but - well, you know the lunatics we camp with.”

“thank you. for being that evil bastard.”

“can you feel that? the dark, it’s - hungry. best watch the shadows.”

“this place brings back the worst memories.”

“well, that’s disturbing. still, better than having an actual conversation with him though.”

“oh no. not again.”

“honestly, just once, could we end up somewhere normal?”

“i prefer to travel in smaller groups. it’s more… intimate.”

“nice as it is, she still doesn’t have the best hair in the camp.”

“thank goodness. i was worried i’d have to get involved. now, let’s keep our hands to ourselves.”

“i much prefer it when i’m the one prowling in the shadows - about to strike.”

“ah, nothing says ‘true love’ like faking your own death to avoid someone.”

“you’re not going to eviscerate him? i was hoping for a show.”

“it’s just a waste of a perfectly good cult we could be controlling.”

“nothing like a little camp drama to spice up the evening.” 

“it’s almost a pity things ended up amicably.”

“what do you see when you look at me?”

“i would’ve liked more for my trouble than a pat on the head and vinegar for wine.”

“do you have any other chaos you need to unleash here?”

“all i want is a little fun. is that so much to ask?” 

“don’t be so sour. i like a good time as much as anyone.” 

“this seems like a lovely little spot. the sense of impending doom aside.”

"its that noticeable, hu??" There's that small smirk that he rarely gives to folks, the usual brashness almost disappeared. Edward merely listened to her explanation, the thought of being absent from a place for 3,000 years seemed both mind-boggling and painful. "Have you ever... went back after 3,000 years?? It must have changed a lot." Upon her inquiry Edward pauses, its an information he doesnt allow people outside of his own world know, but here, it felt easy to just... speak.

"I work for an organization that deals with the supernatural. Mostly the ones who cant be redeemed and cause harm in society. My job is to eliminate them before it spreads."

[spiriteyed]

"When you have eyes like mine, yes!" the queen offers back, offering a wink to the smirk before she falls silent. now that's a question that's never been asked, but one that gives her pause, fingers clutching the edge of the jacket just a bit tighter without thought. " No. As I exist now, that would be impossible. You could consider me a....manifestation of my own legend. I have to be summoned for a specific reason. And that current reasons leaves me tied to an organization hidden from most of the world. But I would like to, if only to see if anything remains beyond myths and old stories. "

her expression softens before it vanishes like a mirage in the desert, replaced a twinkle in her eyes. " So like a hunter of sorts. Have you ever had to deal with creatures such as wyverns? Or maybe giants from folklore? Or are we strictly speaking of the usual: vampires, werewolves, and zombies, oh my?"
