Fantasy NPC

Luciana Proveaux

Elf Sorcerer

“‘No’ is a terrible answer, it’s so final, like death. Now ‘yes' is so much more fun. Say 'yes,' and I promise you, you won’t believe what happens next.”

Appearance: Many are known for their beauty, but she is something else altogether. With flame red hair and pale skin, this elf could be nobility despite her partly shaved head, multiple piercings, and ritual tattoos. She wears hooded layers to keep eyes off of her unless she wants them looking.

​

Personality: Luciana feigns interest often, but her attentions are usually just a tool to get what she wants. She’s an opportunist to the core, preferring to leave her bridges open rather than burning them prematurely. She’s used to shifting her behavior to that which is most beguiling to her newest mark.

​

Motivation: There’s always an angle, and if you’re not the one working it, then it’s being worked on you. Others may be physically strong, but my gifts give me a different kind of strength, and I’ll get away with as much as I can, for as long as I can.

​

Roleplaying Tips: Smooth and seductive, Luciana can be catlike, craving attention one moment, then despising it the next. She’s often suggestive of unspoken promises to ensure she gets her way.

​

Background: Fleeing an entitled but troubled home, Luciana Proveaux chose life on the streets at a young age. Using her magic and natural beauty, she learned how to talk others out of their valuables, to sell them later at a high price. Soon, she was using her considerable gifts to take contracts for hire.

​

Traits: Adventurer, Arcane, Attractive, Chaotic, Cunning, Mercenary, and Persuasive

​

Dark Secret: Luciana is a recovering drug addict. Though she isn’t currently using, she experiences sporadic cravings, especially in times of great stress, and it may be difficult for her to refuse her preferred drug if offered.

Plot Hooks
  • No matter where she runs, it seems that her father’s agents always seem to find her eventually. They aren’t close yet but might be soon, and Luciana would appreciate if someone not connected to her would discourage further inquiries.

  • Her current leader, Symon, is good at what he does, but she can tell he’s hiding something. Luciana would pay for information about his history, either in gold, or favors.

  • Luciana’s bodyguard, Grish, was recently exposed to a mysterious toxin, and he’s getting weaker by the day. She’s discovered the needed treatment, but it’s hard to acquire. Her team will need help obtaining a dose.
