Priscilla Chaput, aka Sera Fina
Name: Priscilla Chaput
Aliases: Sera Fina (Seraphim), The Woman in Grey Role: Loremaster (primary), Shooter (secondary) Appearance: Priscilla is a young woman in her early twenties. She is petite with an athletic form, and would be rather pretty, if she didn't have an awful scar of torn tissue down the side of her face. She covers it up with putty and makeup most days, but it still leaves her face looking asymmetrical. She is a natural blond, with blue eyes, but disguises herself when on hunter duties, because she does have living family to be concerned about. When on the hunt, she favors a dark brown bobbed wig and brown contacts, as well as leaving her scar exposed. Background: Priscilla was in training for competitive gymnastics when her grandfather took ill. Too tight-fisted to hire an actual nurse, he insisted his family fill that role, and so Priscilla ended up spending most of her time sitting around the large house reading and waiting to see what tending her grandfather needed. It was on one of these nights that the wolf broke through the sliding glass doors of the living room and devoured her grandfather. It tore open her face and was about to start on her stomach, when a hunter arrived in the nick of time and slew the beast. High Aspect: The Brotherhood's Walking Encyclopedia Trouble: Sera has never been one to leap into the thick of the action if she can help it. She prefers to stay back, observe, and then take a single, efficient strike. Hunting is rarely so clinical and she does her best to be prepared for anything, but she much prefers the cases that involve more brain work than leg work and firepower.Overly-cautious Observer 3) Priscilla was a gymnast with dreams of joining the olympics before her grandfather's illness and unreasonable demands meant she had to quit all extra-curricular activities. Although her priorities have changed since the night he died, she remains fairly fast and agile. She is not, however, much of a fighter, and tends to do poorly when face-to-face with a baddie.Fast but not Furious 4) Priscilla feels guilty about how her grandfather, and by extension her parents, treated Jerry's family. Though she's never said as much out loud, she's determined to make it up to him by watching his back as much as possible. Although technically she and Alex have no blood relation, his connection to Jerry means she considers him an honorary cousin.My Cousins' Keeper Last edited by Humble Athena; Nov 5th, 2016 at 07:35 PM. |

Since we are still developing our characters, I think I am gonna change my High Trouble. This one is not compel-ling enough. Although its funny and I like it, it can only be called upon under very narrow circumstances. I will change it to "Can't Say No to a Woman" which plays right into Alex's personality and can be easily compelled in various interactions both with party members and otherwise.
And ladies, yea, this does indeed mean that Alex will be your bee-atch!

I'm thinking that Jerry was either called in on one of your cases and traveled to you or that he ran into you guys on a hunt (single or together) when you followed a job that came down to his area. Either because he was hunting something you weren't and the two hunts crossed paths/were working together.
I can see Alex's "Can't Say No to a Woman" maybe invoking Jerry's "Keep Your Hands OFF My family" trouble aspect, too. If Jerry's youngest brother Henry got into trouble with an Alpha female something, that could invoke both, especially if the Alpha manipulated Alex by acting the victim until Alex figured out he was being played (on his own, he's too smart to get suckered in for long, I imagine). Red wanted these three and Priscilla related somehow.

Hmm I like the suggestions. Alex is a wandering spirit, not really has a place to call home. Picture Sam & Dean from Supernatural as an example. So probably easier for him to bump into you although I can't say the opposite is out of the question.
When making the character for the application I used Priscilla's last name (Chaput) as Anna's (mother to Alex) maiden name with Red's request for related characters in mind. If we decide to keep it this way, then Alex, Jerry and Priscilla are already related in a way. How closely we can easily figure out. Anna could have been an aunt or cousin or sister or whatever to Priscilla's father (assuming Chaput is her father's name). In this case of course Jerry and Alex are not blood related by share some family bond as well, even if abstract. I am really not even hell bent on that angle, if you all feel we should aim for something else. I am open to whatever suggestions really, although I don't want siblings, if possible.

Actually,there aren't any previous generations of 'hunters' in Priscilla's side of the family, since Jerry's already got that in *his* branch of the family. I specifically linked to Jerry's non-hunter parent for that reason (with Foggy's approval). Backstory repetition is death.

![]() Athena that is no issue, I can change the name of Alex's mother. In that case for the three of us to be related I would have to be somehow related to Jerry I suppose? How about Anna (Alex's hunter mother) to be related to Alain somehow Foggy? Sisters, cousins whatnot? It's not like I am trying to leach on anyone's backstory, it's just that Red asked us to be somehow related. Then there is always the safe choice of good friends if he will allow.

No one make any decisions about how everyone will be related just yet. I've got a procedure for how we will do that.
![]() While we are waiting, be thinking about your character in light of a few things: 1. When the game starts, you four will have been working together closely and consistently for at least a year. We'll figure out what your last job was when we write our fourth and fifth Aspects. 2. I am going to push you to be as closely related as possible. I'm looking for close blood relatives, current or ex lovers/spouses, childhood friends, long-time hunting companions, etc. 3. I usually try to solidify these relationships with questions like, "Pick one of the other characters and tell me why he/she is the person you care most about in the world." Stuff like that. ![]() So, while we wait another day for Ripsaw, be thinking on that. ![]() |

Still would prefer avoiding having siblings because it messes with my concept of an only child, but I am perfectly fine with any and all of the rest of the choices. So cousins, lovers, buddies are all gonna work for me. In hitting a dead end I will try to work on a brother or sister concept, but it would be my last resort. In any case I certainly can and will enjoy role-playing a Sam & Dean kind of relationship.
Alex is in his early 30s Athena. Probably 31 or 32, thereabouts.
