SIMWE. |
The hedonistic Empress of Olympia. She is the wife of the late Emperor Reyan, whom she enraptured as a mere dancer from the Red Light District. Her rise to power, from concubine to Empress, is a widely discussed matter within Olympian walls, complete with much debate and whispered tales. While she is well-loved and respected by her people, there is an undercurrent of political tension; among the Palace is a group of Reyan loyalists who believe she played a hand in the Emperor’s passing. Regardless of the rumors, her reformation of the Empire is indisputable.
Simwe is known for her decadent nature. The palace court is home to many banquets, tournaments, and communal Thesa worship — all open to those who wish to attend, if they don't mind the Empress's eyes upon them. How else would she choose the next person to add to her harem of men and women?
NOTE: Can be contacted with 10 Olympia REP and 100 ACP |
ASHTI. |
Empress Simwe's personal bodyguard and formal commander of the Olympian army. Keen Refugees will notice that the natives have a torn opinion of her, though no one will openly voice disapproval. She is in charge of approving guard assignments, overseeing training, and making important decisions in battle.

LYSA. |
The City Wisewoman and Physician. She owns a large clinic in the center of Olympia and opens her doors to all who are wounded or ailing. While she always charges the rich and powerful of Olympia for her services, she tends to be softer on refugees, and may ask for favours instead. The clinic is run by a small workforce of physicians, nurses and other helpers that she calls her own 'Daughters', even if they are men.

It may prove profitable to gather materials for his work, volunteer as a guinea pig, or become one of his researchers.

Models are considered well-treated and paid for their work, making it one of the most ideal jobs in Olympia.
Koralle enjoys match-making work on the side. Working closely with Evras, she has various aphrodisiac products to make love always in the air in her district, and especially in her brothel.

Sure, I've got the time right now if you do. I'd like to see some of that magic in person.
video
Of course. Would it be best to come to the training ground? [She offers a glance around the small domicile of the residence in.] I can control my magic fine, but I'd doubt that those living here would care to waken to any such explosions.
no subject
[ And then, there's just the tiniest quirk of a smile. ]
You don't have to worry about that. My colleagues and I are quite used to dealing with magic. I myself am I specialist in earth magic.
no subject
Of course. I'll be sure to inform you when I arrive.

[ The courtyard is rather expansive, and as one could expect, equipped with various training equipment. There are targets set up, as well as sections that are cleanly divided, and each one is filled with other Royal Guards immersed in their set tasks. Testing their magic or sword fighting, for example. The dirt beneath their feet shakes as a fellow colleague in arms is in the midst of casting a spell. Whenever Propentina arrives, Ashti is overlooking such a practice. ]
no subject
--Well, she could begin something, but that denies the authority of the field and she knows better then that. Who would have thought that after years of being an Auror she'd be worried over this--? She shakes her head, carefully avoiding some of the others before halting some distance before Ashti.]
Good afternoon. [A pause before continuing:] What would you prefer to see?
no subject
Good afternoon. [ She mirrors, before she responds in tune. ] The spell you have the most confidence in. I have faith that you will choose something that shows that you are fit for the Royal Guard. [ Whether a protective spell, an elemental one, or otherwise, Ashti isn't looking for anything in particular. Even amongst her colleagues the types they used varied accordingly. ] And...
As I've said before, there's no need to hold back.
no subject
Of course. [For a moment, her teeth tug onto her lower lip as she considers how best to answer the request. She pulls the slender, simple wand from her pocket as she steps away-- Dark eyes eyeing the others practicing on the field. She's of no mind to use magic against someone unsuspecting so she breathes out and raises her wand and starts:]
Protego Maxima.
[From the tip of her wand the invisible shield spell erupts. She makes a wide enough circle, but is certain not to incase anyone else within its perimeters. It's the best she's got for secluding herself for now and it's within another moment she points the wand at the ground and with a silent Bombarda a crater appears. Another quiet word and a fire appears just over it, burning several feet high. Then, doused with water just as quickly and the shield around the area taken down.
It's certainly more the styles she's seen in the past few minutes within this magic; Elemental in it essence, but she glances for something-- A target ring and with a short Relashio the object is ripped apart in a single stroke.
It's only after she uses a simple repairing charm that she returns to Ashti, expression furtive.]
I'm also trained for infiltration and magic for that among a much broader dueling ability.
[She doesn't say it like that to sound cocky or overconfident, and it shows in the way she shifts-- Uncertain of what she should show or say more than anything else.]
