Nightshade
James Nightshade was born in a time that feels so long ago. Orphaned. Left to the system, he took his life into his own hands and escaped the system into the dark underbelly of the world.
He's made a name for himself. Grifter. Con Man. Pusher. Nightshade, as most people know him, is a purveyor of extreme experiences and forbidden desires. What does he do? What doesn't he do? What is your desire? What is your dream? Nightshade has made a business of providing people with what they want, and what they need. The first taste is free. You'll be back for more, and that's when Nightshade will discuss the price.
- Sleight of Hand
- Nightshade is a grifter for lack of a better term. Part of his particular skills is his ability to do close-up magic, or how to bamboozle people within arm's length. Do you like magic? Are you interested in buskers, street performers, or bad boys with the skills to entertain in more than one way? Nightshade might be your guy.
- What is it you desire?
- Nightshade is a purveyor is sensual experiences. He's a pusher. He pushes people to admit to their darkest desires, and then give it to them. Seduction and manipulation are his bread and butter, and he's good at it. (Sex Appeal) Is your character looking for something? Are you new in town and naive of the world around you? Are you the type of person who will fall prey to your own curiosity and desire? Nightshade might be the foil you're looking for.
- Art is All
- Nightshade is a lover of art. Like, no. Really. He -loves- art. Don't get him started, or do.
- Good Listener
- Nightshade is a Good Listener (merit). Really, he just has a way about him that invites people to open up and talk about what's really on his mind. Whether you think he's a safe person because he won't tell anyone, or doesn't know anyone, or will keep your confidence, the fact of the matter is, he just seems like a safe place to unload what happens to be on your mind.
- Life in the Shadows
- Nightshade has been on his own and living just on the fringes of society for a long time. Off the grid. Under the radar. In the dens of dark dreams and rampant ambitions. Have you seen him at an all-night poker game? Was there a bar where you encountered the charismatic and hungry James Nightshade? Have you heard the rumors that Nightshade is the guy who can give you want you want?
- Passion & Wisdom
- Nightshade is a Satyr of the Unseelie Court. Passion is all, but satyrs are also known for their uncanny wisdom. Are you listening to him, or just looking at his ass?
- Deeper and Deeper
- Nightshade has been around for a long time (Remembrance 3 & faerie eternity). Long lived lives and each of them remembered well, there's a better than average chance that your character may have encountered Nightshade either in his current incarnation or an earlier one.
