451 Lilac Lane (Violet Messengers HQ)

An unassuming residential house in the lower district currently serving as the unofficial headquarters of the Violet Messengers. It is mostly used as a pick-up and drop-off point since the group operates in an entirely decentralised manner. Nobody lives at the property, and there are rarely more than a handful of members on the premises at the same time.

Current Members:

Leader (1/1) - Taurus (NPC) Second-in-Command (1/1) - Athena Hardwicke Members: Ariel Glass, Capra Belnades, Cinder Glass, Deron Dubois, Gemini, Jupiter, Lizzie Lovelace, Nadia Calhoun (NPC), Parker Mills, Pyrite Bettencourt, Undyne, Wes Glass, Wylan Tarver, Zep Torchwick

NPC INTRO: THE DARK MESSIAH

Meet TAURUS. He's a 38-year-old HUMAN who is the LEADER of the VIOLET MESSENGERS, a splinter group that have broken away from the other activists. He is notoriously known for being RUTHLESS & UNFORGIVING but there are some people who have seen him being CAPTIVATING & PERSUASIVE. He reminds people a lot of the smell of gasoline, impassioned speeches given in front of burning buildings, and a lifetime of bitter disappointment, but that could just be because he's considered the DARK MESSIAH around town.

Taurus—not his government name—was born and raised in the lower district. He spent his whole life experiencing hardship and witnessing the indignities suffered by the poorest citizens at the hands of the Big Three. Among his grievances are several faulty cybernetics that he is entirely dependent on but that frequently glitch out on him.

He joined Citizen Uprising with a few friends from his neighbourhood as well as his long-term girlfriend. On the surface, they shared the same ideals and drive to fight for fairer living conditions, but there was a bitterness in Taurus that he could never let go of. Over time, his hatred for those who had made him suffer began turning him more and more extreme in his ideology.

It was when he fully rejected the notion of peaceful protest and started vocally advocating for armed resistance that his girlfriend left him. She may not have agreed with him, but Taurus was far from alone in his thoughts among his peers, and after he broke away from the main movement, he quickly acquired a small but fiercely loyal group of followers. They are still the minority, but their ranks grow every day as conditions fail to improve in the lower district.
