Vorpal, Ranger of the Thorns
By reputation, the individual known as Vorpal is worrisome. From one account to the other, they're been described as everything from "concerningly Wyrd" to "just this side of Them." The stories mainly revolve around impossible feats of agility and bladework, tall tales of the clearly impossible, and an overwhelmingly Wyrd presence outright tangible to those nearby.

The reality is all that and more.

Their Autumn mantle is of impressive stature; their Wyrd is exactly as intense as the worst of the stories told; and yet. Vorpal doesn't appear nearly so alien and detached as the rumors say, either. Perhaps they're exaggerated. Or, perhaps- it's not impossible, with years of effort and a dedicated Motley in support- to drag oneself back from the brink of madness, and reclaim some measure of one's humanity.

Watching them fight, though...

The stories sound less and less like exaggeration.

To outsiders, Johanna Drexel looks like a skinny woman with an unfortunate addiction to scarification. She's covered in the thin, delicate whorls and swirls, leaving the already pale lady with the long, dark hair looking a bit more strange than usual. She favors loose slacks, peasant skirts, and blouses in earth tones, heavy boots, and tops it all with a handcrafted leather longcoat she's never seen without.

To the Lost, their eyes are gleaming gashes in the utter shade of their form, the Elemental come into their own as a being of darkness incarnate. Their own shadow has a mind of its own and wanders to investigate and prod at all manner of things, and the shades of other people and objects likewise often twist about to do their bidding. Their clothes don't bear the same deaddark shadow, however, lending some humanity to the figure.

Vorpal's mantle is imposing. Shadows nearby darken to pitch, the mantle filling them with the almost-sounds of distant whispers, skittering creatures, and sharpening blades. Autumnal leaves at their finest swirl past along the ground- surely just brought in by a recent entry to the room, and gone when you look again- and the quiet surety that the doors nearby go Someplace Else.

RP Hooks
  • Hunter - Once calling himself the God of the Hunt, Vorpal has left that behind him- but not the hunt, itself. Have something in need of his attention? He's not picky, and rumor has it he is very, very good at going places he shouldn't.
  • High Wyrd - Does all that Wyrd concern you? Maybe you should bring it up.
  • Autumn - He knows many things about many strange, strange places, and how to get to most of them. Need a guide?
  • Witch - Vorpal's known to be something of a self-proclaimed Witch, with knowledge of some odd magicks.
