[Synodiporia] Veteran Backstory

[strategyandasword]

Pearl is coming in as a veteran, having been here since just before Purgatory. She's probably kept to herself during Liminal Spaces except for a few initial freakouts about needing to be back home and being alone and not being around to protect Steven or the Earth. She's... still unsure about what to do with all these humans. So many humans.

During Purgatory, Pearl was a demon who never would have fallen if she hadn't been following her angelic commander... but she could never walk away from her. She could be summoned to teach sorcery or any form of combat, always for a price.

During Questing Country, Pearl was the Hecatite Oracle of Devotion. Having recently bounced back from going Pillar after losing her closest bondmate, she would have been willing to teach and guide new dreamers, and may have come to the rescue of anyone in danger, but would have avoided getting too involved in the valence quest itself.

Pearl was on walkabout for Lightning Age. She doesn't remember what she was doing, but now that she's back, she is Very Disappointed in you all.

Comment here if you want Pearl to have interacted with your character in previous jaunts or the relevant liminal spaces! ♥

obviously not for Connie, and Persephone probably wouldn't have given two shits about her tbh unless she got crashed directly into a panic attack, but.

She could've definitely been a contact for Cain in Purgatory. Maybe she taught Cain some of her combat skills WAAAAAAAY back in the past? OOO. WHAT IF SHE WAS THE ONE WHO TAUGHT CAIN HER WHISPER-BREEZE TRICK?

And then there's always the possibility of bumping into each other in limspace.

[strategyandasword]

Ooooooh, yes. Yes, if you're okay with it, she could totally have taught Cain sorcery and some combat. But the whisper thing seems especially Pearl somehow.

I kind of like the idea that they've totally missed each other in Limspace so far and then they finally run into each other and are like "...wait. You're actually a Traveler?"

[doitforhim]

uh I wouldn't have brought it UP if i wasn't ok with it, I am officially going with that. Mwahahah. but yes, having missed each other in limspace up until she gets in and them going "WHHHHHHAAAT?" is a good plan.


:D

Also, bets on Pearl being influenced by Persephone.

[strategyandasword]

HAHAHAHAHA she's going to be so susceptible to... basically any god. Luckily she'll conveniently miss Luci all the time but jfc. Her and Persephone. This could go disastrously, between godstuff and pearl feelings.

[doitforhim]

so disastrously, but so BEAUTIFULLY.

[doitforhim]

ALSO-ALSO.

OOO.

WHAT IF SHE AND ROSE WERE THE REST OF KORE AND LUCI AND SER'S BONDGROUP?

because I"m pretty sure we kind of quasi-settled on five. Or maybe that was just me?

So Rose died, Pearl went pillar, Luci went adversary, and then Kore kept up with Ser for a while before dropping off the face of the dreamworld for a while.

But like. Lucifer would want to AVOID THE HELL out of her because of it, which is good for you. And Laura would probably feel compelled to say hi, at least, which is good for ME.

[strategyandasword]

Omg YEEEEEES. I'm pretty sure five was the number too, at least in my head, so that works out great. And explains why that group exploded as thoroughly as it did.
