Essentially cheerful and positively optimistic, Josephine Lovelace -- known as Josie to friends -- represents one of perhaps many archaeologists who have slipped somewhere along the line from pure archaeology into Drifter-hood. Until-recently active in the Aveh region by all accounts, she's since been in hot pursuit of old contacts of hers across Ignas. Known to be an accomplished Symbologist, she appears to have gained some notable skills in ARMs recently. She's never seen anywhere without her pet pigeon, Penelope.

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, but the sudden invasion of Adlehyde has made locating his associate a little more tricky than expected.

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.
  • 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 and surprisingly a lot more intelligent than she looks (as is typical for pigeons). Both a source of moral support for Josie and a helpful distraction/extra pair of eyes 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

Relationships

Buddies

  • TBA

Associates

  • Jude Moshe - Pretty fun; kindred spirit. Owes me a donkey. Might a bounty hunter or something on the side, but we've all got our secrets. Just leave Lily alone, ok?
  • Leon Albus - Surprisingly, (ex?) military. Has an interesting ARM. Lily's boyfriend? Fun to harass. Good kid, though -- pretty sharp. Should shape up nicely someday.
  • Lily Keil - Surprisingly, (ex?) military. Magic seems odd. Leon's girlfriend. Quiet, has a bounty on her head. Quite fond of her but she should be more careful. Quite a secret, there. Maybe I've gotten a little too fond of her.

Acquaintances

  • 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, may ask about this someday. Has come here from a long ways away. 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, should chat her up about her arm did do this, it was pretty interesting.
  • Ida Everstead-Rey - One of these days, we should actually chat while we're not getting killed.
  • Jacqueline Barber - Poor Jay. This must be hard for her.
  • Jean - Apparently from the moon; more importantly knows how to drink.
  • Morgan Newkirk - The fastest way to a lady's heart is through a glass of whisky~
  • Noah Hawthorne - You know, this whole business really had better pay off. I could have gotten shot.
    • Ambrose Montagu - An old colleague -- what a sweet old man! Looking for his associate, presently.
  • 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.

Josie's Shit List

NPCs of Note

Watch this space?

  • Penelope - A fancy pigeon. Allegedly a loyal trained bird. Smarter than she seems (but still just a pigeon). Often sulky, may be going through pigeon adolescence or... something. Dangerous to salt shakers.
  • Timotheus Lovelace - A powerful Symbologist and a man of significance in Marze. Josephine's father. Still distressingly spry despite being very nearly 80. Also still not a nice person. (basically this guy, honestly)
