Known as Josie to friends, Josephine is apparently in the company of those archaeologists who have slipped somewhere along the line from purer practice into Drifter-hood. An optimist by practice but a pragmatist at heart, Josie is a woman of many vices who values personal freedom and choice above nearly all else. Skilled with ARMs and Symbology, she's apparently come across what she has described to others as 'a potentially enormous find' among Ignas' ruins and is currently in pursuit of more information. Penelope, her pet pigeon and notorious menace, is often at her side.

Background

A native from the town of Marze and an archaeologist of some note in the Aveh region, Josephine seems to have found that archaeology wasn't exactly paying the bills and took up Drifter work to supplement her passion. After some searching, she was able to convene with an old colleague, find his associate, and slip through the front lines to head out west, having confirmed that what she has is the real deal and now with an idea of where she needs to be.

Powers and Abilities

Everyone's got their special talents. These are Josie's:

  • Sharpshooting/Trickshooting - According to her, it's a hobby. When it comes to sniping or pinpoint accuracy with a bullet, or doing dumb tricks with a rifle (and other ARMs!), Josie's the person to demonstrate. Since she's used to taking her time with shots, applying this to combat has been a little touch and go, but she's adapting it well.
    • Gawain XR57 Mod - A highly modified (it seems to have even been a right-handed model at one point, but is now configured for left-hand use) gunsmoke rifle, of the type commonly known to aficionados as the 'Gawain'. Josie's favored ARM, and well-used.
    • Iron Cobra 325 - A sidearm given to her by Lily. Apparently taken from a dead bandit. A typical Aveh-style sidearm, reliable but nothing special.
  • Archaeology - Her job, her passion. She knows a lot of anecdotes about archaeological discoveries (and discoverers) and obviously the dos and don'ts of site digs. Which she apparently follows or ignores as it suits her, to judge by her behavior. Josie's even published some papers, but that was years ago.
    • Dubious Contacts?? - Apparently knows people in shadier markets in Ignas due to having sold artifacts some time ago. Suspicious!
  • Symbology - The daughter of an (in)famous Symbologist and an accomplished Symbologist in her own right, while most of Josie's spells are not combat-focused, she's still able to get a lot of mileage out of them nonetheless. Most of her spells are utilitarian, or orient around stopping/stunning rather than direct damage.
  • Care and Keeping of Pigeons - And technically, this can sort of extend to most non-predatory birds in general, but Josie's very good at managing (preferably tame) pigeons. She knows how to handle, raise, feed, and even treat (non-surgically) avian wounds/illness and is familiar with the most common ailments, particularly those that affect certain breeds. She also has at least passing familiarity with most fancy breeds on Ignas. Yes, even the Kislevan Beauty Tippler.
  • Mechanical Aptitude - Machinery is another hobby of Josie's, and she's capable of figuring out and repairing basic machines -- though largely she just enjoys taking them apart to study how they work (usually they go back together again too). More complicated devices take more doing, and as of yet, she has no capacity with electronics due to inexperience. She has a particular interest in ARMs of all types.
  • Iron Liver - did you see how much she can drink? it's a lot

Tools

  • Penelope - Josie's faithful (?) pet pigeon. Both a source of moral support for Josie and a helpful (??) distraction at times.
    Type: WITS
  • Well-Used Mattock - The archaeologist's best friend. A pick-mattock to be precise. A sturdy if well used piece of gear that can both dig and smash. Helpful for getting rid of stubborn rocks and debris.
    Type: BRUTE
  • Liquid Courage - Josie's best friend. For those times when everything's gone pear-shaped and you still have a bunch of monsters to handle.
    Type: COMBAT

Relationships

Buddies

  • Lily Keil - Ex-Kislevi soldier and essentially an adopted little sister as relationship closeness goes at this point. Foolish, prickly, and possibly going to get herself killed one of these days, but it's too late to bemoan having gotten attached...

Associates

  • Jude Moshe - Pretty fun; kindred spirit. Owes me a donkey. Has something else going on, but we've all got our secrets. Contacts might make things easy.
  • Leon Albus - Ex-Kislevi soldier. Used to think he was the tactful one between him and Lily, but I guess I was wrong. Likes attract too, don't they? Not a bad kid, though.
  • Lunata Croze - Still finding her way in the world, and that's fine. She's got a lot of guts, considering what's happened. Her and Shalune make a good team. That cube better watch its act though.
  • Morgan Newkirk - The fastest way to a lady's heart is through a glass of whisky~
  • Noah Hawthorne - Kind of a pain, but I've dealt with worse. As long as you get me where I need to be, I've got no complaints~ Well, not too many. Good with a gun which is important.
  • Shalune Amira - Good sense with machines, even has a golem. I wish I'd started out earlier too! Helping me out with an ARM concept. Good friends with Lunata. It's nice to see girls helping each other out in the world.

Acquaintances

  • Ambrosius - Interesting fellow. Been on a few digs. Seems like he's a researcher too.
  • Bart Fatima - Associate of Leon and Lily. Sand pirate. A bit reckless, but who am I to judge?
  • Catenna - Mysterious girl, devout. Has some unusual magical talents. Penelope likes her, that counts for a lot.
  • Fei Fong Wong - ...Has a Gear? Kid's more versatile than I thought.
  • Gwen Whitlock - Mysterious kid and courier, interesting arm. I think I know her aunt. Or however they're related.
  • Ida Everstead-Rey - One of these days, we should actually chat while we're not getting killed.
  • Jacqueline Barber - Poor Jay. I heard things were rough. Just remember though: you definitely have the goods.
  • Jean - Apparently from the moon; more importantly knows how to drink.
  • Rosaline Calice - Nun and Etone. A bit of a pushover but knows some useful things. Reminder: don't actually piss her off, though. Damn.
  • Rudy Roughnight - Damn, when did kids get so perceptive? Good kid, though.
  • Talise Gianfair - A warrior. Beastman? Owe her some money. Should pay that back. ...Eventually.

Enemies

  • TBA

Josie's Shit List

NPCs of Note

  • Timotheus Lovelace - A powerful Symbologist and a man of significance in Marze. Well-known in Ignas-based Symbology circles, and by anyone familiar with the Marze-Linga split (and attendees of campus in Linga if their professor hates him a lot which is plausible). Josephine's father. Still distressingly spry despite being very nearly 80. Also still not a nice person and basically a huge asshole of an archmage. (basically this guy, honestly)
  • Penelope - A fancy pigeon. Allegedly a loyal trained bird. Allegedly also a pacifist, but this appears to be changing. Smarter than she seems (but still a normal pigeon). Often sulky, may be going through pigeon adolescence or... something.
    Penelope's List O' Hated Things:
    • Salt Shakers
    • Jacob the Mechanical Pigeon (Jude's)
    • Cat (Morgan's)
    • Lily's (former) Malevolence aura
