IC Information
Full Name:
Riley Arwell
Gender:
Male
Age (Birthdate):
21 (October 23 (using IRL terms to keep track of it))
Riley is the host of the Fangs of Valmar, which he has come to share with Xander Lovell through an anomaly that Riley refers to as a "terrible love miracle." The Fangs demand an ongoing series of blood sacrifices, a mission that Riley and Xander don't relish, but have resigned to, traveling the land in search of victims. At a first meeting, Riley may seem to be an amiable Drifter with a playful sense of humor; some may even know him from his pre-Valmar life where he was a simple adventurer. But rumors do follow the pair, and they are wanted in some towns in connection with a series of murders resulting in graves that bloom with red flowers. Riley fights with a bow and dagger, as well as having the power to summon a darkly magical... shovel, which he seems unwilling to discard despite the fact that it is blatantly, palpably cursed.
Riley fights with a bow imbued with the power of Valmar to shoot magical arrows, as well as a frequently poisoned hunting dagger. In situations both dire and mundane, he may call upon what he calls the 'Shovel of Valmar,' a death-aligned ritual tool and polearm weapon. Riley also has the capacity to summon flowers from the Blood Garden, a symbolic space representing Valmar's hunger for blood that the Fangs must appease. The flowers themselves, however, can have very real effects, ranging from blood-drinking to releasing various poisons and toxins.
I think mostly it was Xander stabbing her, but I helped. I was not a fan of the experience, I would have rather she and her companions went on thinking we were innocent weird newlyweds.
Did not intend to stab, was trying to keep as a Drifter friend separate from stabbing life. Still, could have gone worse. Is it possible to cultivate a Drifter friendship that transcends stabbing??
Taking Over the World
It's not the kind of adventure they had in mind.
"I say we fight, we crawl, we stand |
We make our own way home |
We are the only people who grow flowers out of bones"
Peace to the Mountain
A lost chance for a cleaner ending.
"So let me go |
Where no one can follow |
Lost with my conscience |
Please bury me honest"
Black Magic
Evil love miracles are very dangerous and should not be attempted under any circumstances.
"Love ain't nothing more than black magic |
Better want what you wish for |
It might happen"
Karaoke
Really, Riley would rather just be having fun.
"Take me out |
And we'll care about nothing real at all |
Pick me up |
And we'll make a movie |
I'm acting like the world can't hold me down"
