P L O T - R E Q U E S T

Details
Introduction:
https://lore.atharen.com/index.php/Corvo#Creation

So I just learned this morning that Corvo is a thing, and after reading through it, it basically sums up everything Luna is about. I wanted the go ahead to make her one. I wanted to also have it tie into Luna's overall (ooc) goal of progressing towards royalty.

Outline:

The plot would be something along the lines of Luna arousing suspicion from a Corvo who thinks she might be one as well. They spy on her and realize she isn't one, then they capture her in her sleep and turn her into a Corvo. She wakes up, does the puzzles, they explain what's been done to her, etc.

After all that, Luna would be shown the ropes by a Corvo (detailed below) and she'd be given some tasks to complete. Luna would attend several entente soirees and use her newfound powers (in combination with mentalism) to bed certain members of the entente. She'd use this opportunity to gather information which she'd deliver to the Corvo NPC. One of the targets is a Veir (detailed below) whom she entrances so powerfully that he wants to marry her, despite her engagement to a Valran.

Requested Rewards:
Luna becomes a Corvo
A particular Veir (detailed below) becomes infatuated with Luna and wishes to marry

Plot Moderation:
probably unnecessary

Community Benefit:
Luna / the Corvo NPC would be available as a plot point to anyone else that wanted to make the transformation

Effect on Atharen:
I can't think of any

Description:

Julio Ferentes is a Hyr'Norai who is also a member of the mysterious and secretive Corvo. He hails from the bustling city of Amoren, where he has made a name for himself as an information broker. Julio specializes in gathering intelligence on members of the Entente, a powerful alliance that has piqued his interest and provided him with ample opportunities for profit. Julio was initiated into the ranks of the Corvo at the tender age of twenty. Over the past sixty years, he has honed his skills and risen through the ranks, becoming skilled at espionage and deception. His expertise in spying has brought him wealth and respect among his peers, as well as a fair share of enemies.

As a Hyr'Norai, Julio possesses an ethereal grace and beauty that only adds to his allure as a Corvo. His tall, slender figure is accentuated by sharp, angular features, and his dyed-black hair falls in soft waves around his shoulders. His eyes are a piercing shade of blue, reflecting the cunning and intelligence that have become his trademark. His Corvo-enhanced appearance is captivating, drawing others to him with an almost magnetic pull. Julio's long life as a Corvo has granted him an extensive network of contacts, ranging from lowly street urchins to high-ranking officials within the Entente. He uses this network to gather the information he needs, often trading secrets and favors in exchange for valuable intelligence. Julio is known for his ability to blend into any social circle, using his charm and wit to win the trust of those around him, only to exploit their vulnerabilities when the time is right.

Despite his success, Julio is never satisfied. He constantly searches for others who embody the qualities of a Corvo: beauty, cunning, and ambition. He has been instrumental in recruiting new members to the Brotherhood, helping to expand their influence across the continent. After converting people, he typically assigns them tasks to make sure they are Corvo material. He is not above killing those who let him down.




N P C – Cilvo Royen

Details
Age: 42
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Height: 6’
Weight: 160 lbs

Occupation: Politician
Title: Veir
NPC Type: Personal NPC

Skills
Remnant - Expert
Mentalism - Journeyman
Politics – Expert
Negotiation - Journeyman
Persuasion - Apprentice
Etiquette - Journeyman

Description:

Cilvo Royen is a member of the Entente and a Veir who has dedicated his life to the political arena. A middle-aged politician with an air of authority, Cilvo's appearance is one that commands respect. His black hair is neatly trimmed, framing a face etched with the lines of experience and wisdom. His eyes are a deep, penetrating green that seem to pierce through any facade. Standing tall with an imposing posture, he carries himself with an air of sophistication and dignity. Despite his impressive physical presence, Cilvo's personality is marked by an underlying sorrow. The loss of his non-mage lover, who tragically died during an initiation, has left him with a deep-seated pain that he has never been able to overcome. Loveless and haunted by his past, he finds solace in his work as a politician, using his influence to further the goals of his family.

As a mentalism mage, Cilvo has an affinity for manipulating the emotions of those around him. He instinctively seeks to evoke sadness in others, drawing on their shared misery to forge connections and maintain control. This somber disposition has become an integral part of his identity, shaping both his personal and professional relationships.

Cilvo's world was turned upside down when he first laid eyes on Luna at a soiree. Her radiant beauty and enigmatic presence captivated him, igniting a passion he had long believed to be extinguished. Intrigued and determined to know more about this mysterious woman, Cilvo finds himself drawn to Luna like a moth to a flame, unable to resist her allure.

Ello! IT is I yet again. We're going to work together on this. We have some details to hash out before I can approve this plot. I will list them below!

  • First thing, I would like your previous threads with the "Marry Up" plot line to both be listed here and that threadline completely finished before I think it's good to allow Luna to become a Corvo. The reason for this being it would come down to picking either/or-- not both. I understand you would like to be nobility and I approved engagement prior in the "Marry Up" plot request. In order to get both outcomes you need to finish your engagement in "Marry Up", show it is finished which will give approval for your Corvo request, after your Corvo thread line is up you will need to write a new plot request for marrying into nobility. You better invite Miki :P (JUST KIDDING KINDA)!!!!!
    Last thing, if you would like to not become engaged from your "Marry Up" threadline you may still become a Corvo, but that is, of course, rescinding your ability to be engaged. Which would, again, need a new plot request in order to become engaged/married after becoming a Corvo. Let me know.
  • Why would this secret society want her, as in, why would the Corvo seek her out? Go into detail
  • What does she provide for them by being inducted, does she have something they need? What do the Corvo gain?
  • We tend to ask for large boons to be balanced with a detriment, what's something "bad" to come from this?
    ~Possible ideas: Debt, servitude, both? Be imaginative and descriptive.
  • Daravin is not a super stable place, socially speaking. How has Julio (NPC) established himself as an information broker and stayed in business for 60 years? Why has nobody come after him or driven him out of Amoren or gotten him jailed or killed?
  • What's the general plan for Luna once she's a Corvo?


Please edit your request with the information above, along with links. This request and your "Marry Up" request will be going into your character secrets! You may message me after posting here, to let me know you have made the edits, but all discussion must be kept to this forum and thread.

Alas, if the choice is between Corvo and pursuing nobility I will have to choose nobility and submit an alternate plot. Corvo is split into 3 stages of growth and only the first one is devved with no indication that the rest of it will ever be finished. That makes it hard for me to want to prioritize it especially when Luna is already capable of replicating most of what the first stage can do, given her Mentalism and seduction based skill focus.
This thread can be closed I suppose!

The Marry Up plot is fully complete consisting of ~20 threads, most of which are in the AF in Room Two. I numbered the threads up to part 15 but then lost track lol. I will link them all in my next plot request.

The conclusion is here, ungraded since I can't grade my own magic threads: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=2774
