Dyson

Introduction I was looking for a breath of life; A little touch of heavenly light But all the choirs in my head sang "no" To get a dream of life again A little of vision of the start and the end But all the choirs in my head sang "no". Florence + The Machine -- Breath of Life The Seelie Code Death Before Dishonor “The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.” – Socrates Love Conquers All “What will remain of us is love.” – Philip Larkin Beauty Is Life “The beauty of the world which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.” – Virginia Woolf Never Forget A Debt “On wrongs a swift vengeance awaits.” – Alexander Pope [ edit ] Contacts Countess Ionae, Daughter of Flame, Lioness of Fiona, and Defender of Astral Seas Wife. "Winter, I never realized how much I craved you until I felt the first drop of rainwater upon my brow. Is that not ridiculous, for all that we know is sacred, for me to not have recognized how desired you are? Yet even so, I know some nights I will curse you for coming to me, for dragging me under this vortex. I will struggle even as I drown, demanding blood and flesh in retribution. As air is taken from me though I will recognize the merciless gift that is your love. It will always be cherished, eternally caged, so that it will never be able to flee me. This I vow." Airyana "Bloodless Greetings, child. I hope that it continues to be so." Narine "We eagerly await your full arrival." Eden Cat. "I do not fully understand friendship and yet my wife claims that you are this to me. I do not speak those words, but I can say you are mine as the very stones of my house." Cody Kin. "My little cousin. There is no more to be said than this." Baron Toal "Pain and suffering bind us." Vivian Wells "Of course. Now it is time to juggle you on top of all else. Others must watch their tongue around you." Carolyn "It is time for the fledge to fly or fall." Cross "I do not agree with all of these symbols that you wear but perhaps I shall carve you into my own." Ferdinand "You are a most peculiar fellow and yet despite this, perhaps even because of this, it is unquestionable that you belong at my hearth." Sir Alaric "Interesting. Let us see how quickly you can learn." Lark Official Drink Mixer. "My glass? It is horribly empty." Mariava "Are you seeking the boy? He is not here. He was gone as soon as he started to struggle in the waters." [ edit ] RP Hooks Player Run Plot! What Lurks Beneath: Monsters and mayhem. There are creatures -- and something more -- lurking in the sewers. Changeling Sphere Only. Island Unto Itself: Does Lodestone Island belong to the County of the Emerald Dale or County of Lion's Reach? Changeling Sphere Only. The Great Tree: Theme elements for the Changeling sphere. General RP Hooks! The Sideshow: Dyson owns and operates The Sideshow. There is active recruitment for performers (fire breathers, contortionists, knife jugglers) of many stripes. In addition to this he's always looking for more mundane help around the club such as waitstaff, security, cooks. Interested? Stop on by and maybe get a job. Artwork is also displayed here for local artists with only a small house commission for sales! Only thing is that he doesn't hire banality 8+. Family: So when the Sidhe soul named Leras took over Dyson's body with his chrysalis he decided that the shell's family was not worth his time and left. Want to play a mortal (or "mortal") family member? Maybe someone else that knew him before and now gets to experience the after? Fae RP Hooks! The County of Lion's Reach: Dyson is Count of Prospect, otherwise known as the County of Lion's Reach. He holds the title with his wife, Countess Ionae. There is little secret that there are numerous plans for the County by the pair. Do you have plans in the County that would be shared? Are you new to Prospect and need to be introduced? Are you interested in the Court? Barony of Astral Seas: Astral Seas is the name of Dyson's personal fief, held with his fellow Fiona and wife, Countess Ionae. Within it they hold the castle of Lion's Reach. Lion's Reach is the County Seat and their influence is great in the area. Very little transpires here without becoming eventually known to them and it is common knowledge that the land is intimately tied to them. The noble is the land and the land is the noble. This could not be more true than at Lion's Reach, for even quarrels between the pair cause the castle to tremble. The Sideshow, Fae Version: The Sideshow is also part of Dyson's fief and potential glamour-battery (via stream of potential Dreamers as well as freehold), ran with his fellow Fiona, Countess Ionae. It is highly suspected that a lot of what goes on there is simply to draw in glamour. He's pretty much hit any angle that he could, after all. Lost In Time Market The Faerie Market currently has its doors open. Traders have already been brought in! Are you a crafter or otherwise potential shop owner? Are you an adventurer that wants to seek dreamstuff for the crafters present? Opportunities abound! The Land of the Burning Sun: Did you come from the Kingdom of the Burning Sun? In specific, the Austin, TX area? Or maybe you were just passing through? Dyson had a not-so-stellar reputation in the area. House Balor: Dyson was a shoe-in for this House. With his Fomorian blood (Fae version not Wyrm one), and additional 'quirks' there, it was expected that he would be joining them and doing very great things. He did not, instead enduring a vicious Fior to join House Fiona. Maybe your character knows about the scandal? Maybe they're Balor -- he is approached by them from time to time with claims of brotherhood. This never quite ends well, but one interesting fact of note: it is well established that he does not turn over/out any House Balor that he meets. Otherwise his faithfulness to his House is unquestionable. He tends to work twice as hard for his shortcoming after all. Dark Beauty: Elisia is a very not-nice Sidhe that Dyson has been linked with in the past. Theirs is a dark and twisted story and due to the fact that Elisia is wanted by various Seelie nobles she tends to pop in and out of places. She always, always makes an impression though and always leaves a trail of victims. Rumor has it that Dyson is still in contact with her, though when questioned he can never pinpoint a location. He'd turn her over, right? He says he would and various Gwydion say he is being honest. Want to know her or have had dealings in the past? Be one of her victims? Read All About It! Dyson is trying to organize the county, in particular communication so that things can zip from one fief to the next and everyone can be in the know. Want to be part of that? Make things happen? This is going to be a branching area, as he wants to get other things in order as well for things to move optimally. [ edit ] The Public Face Fame xxxxxDyson Wells is the owner of the local hotspot The Sideshow. While this in itself might catch the public eye - and it does - it is his philanthropic work (not to mention strikingly good looks, youthful age, and charismatic personality when interviewed) that garners more attention and makes him a known face. He has become increasingly popular around Prospect due to several newspaper interviews as well as a few television blurbs done more recently. xxxxxThis began with the creation of the Sideshow and the exceptional success of the club, and only continued with his advocacy for local artists. Every Wednesday he allows entry from school age children for free to the back gardens where they are regaled with performances and encouraged to learn more about the fine arts. During the Summer of 2012 he organized and sponsored a diversity acceptance parade that was cleared by the city and is likely to become an annual event. xxxxxWells is a relatively popular name and it is only recently that true public connections have been made between he and the Wells family. Wouldn't one of the Wells want to stand out? Dyson doesn't advertise. The Wells family is old money, politically active, and with their fingers in numerous economic pots. As a teenager Dyson was often seen in the company of Mariava Carmichael of the Carmichaels (a family that even surpasses his own) at numerous social events. However, after a boating accident in Hawaii and a tragic case of amnesia, he left the wings of the family. He still manages to carry himself with the inbuilt arrogance of the rich, powerful, and famous. xxxxxMore recently his abandoned family, particularly his mother Olivia, has taken an interest in his doings with a desire to draw him back to the fold. Rumor (and tabloids) of scandal concerning one of his siblings likely has something to do with this. Not to mention his whirlwind, storybook romance and marriage with the completely unknown Alala Theodorou, now Wells. Philanthropy xxxxxDyson Wells has crusaded for numerous causes, investing both time and finances for that which he believes in. He is usually associated with programs that involve the fine arts but certain other programs also catch his eye. Currently the following is of note: The Good Meal: Certain menu items at the Sideshow that have their proceeds go to local causes. The Wells' Red Dance Shoes: A scholarship that provides annual tuition to five promising children for Robyn's School of Music and Dance. Artist Housing: He has been approached about investing in low income housing for "starving artists" and is currently looking at the details of that.
