Hey! So, I'm interested in Dante, though the two possible gals I've got for him are Lucain. Would that be an issue? Chayah might also do well with Taylor. More on that later. Both gals (who are sisters, btw) were previously lifemated, but their lifemates' writer is no longer RPing, so they are open.
Ruach has been through a lot, abduction, torture, and manipulation. Thanks to the help of a couple of Clones, she escaped Kolya, but the damage had already been done. The demon had messed with her mind so often that she's forgotten everything about her life, including the sons she bore him and the family she had before the abduction. She gets brief flashes of images and emotions, mostly while dreaming, but nothing solid that she can use to piece her life back together. Due to her time in captivity, Ruach has PTSD, and can be a little paranoid at times. Loud noises frighten her, and she startles quite easily. Sometimes the simplest of things set off a flashback or drown her in emotion, and she has trouble opening up to people. She moves from city to city, picking up odd jobs and living in cheap hotels or sometimes homeless shelters, trying to stay off Kolya's radar. Somewhere inside her is still the gentle, kind woman who likes putting others at ease and taking care of them, but right now she is just too busy trying to take care of herself.
Note: Ruach is a fairly powerful ice mage (although her control of it is hit-or-miss when her PTSD kicks in), and can even cause snow to form out of thin air if she feels like expending the energy. She cannot speak aloud, and must be making skin-to-skin contact with a person to communicate telepathically with them.
Although Chayah was previously an energetic, bubbly young woman, the abduction of her sister and the death of her husband has caused her to mature quickly. Where most of her money used to go toward clubbing or pretty clothes, now she penny-pinches to make sure her nieces and nephew have food and school supplies. Any money left over goes toward her continuing efforts to find her sister. She seems cheerful enough when other people are around, but it's just a mask to hide the grief that is tearing her apart. She occasionally moonlights as a vigilante, although she isn't a very good one...
Note: Chayah is a fire mage, and although she isn't quite comfortable wielding such an aggressive element, she's forced herself to hone her skills in the event that she needs to protect her family. She cannot speak aloud, and must be making skin-to-skin contact with a person to communicate telepathically with them.
Anyway, on to plotsies. Ruach first: She and Dante both have troubled pasts, and both are on the run. I could see her getting injured escaping from some of Kolya's lackeys, then being discovered and saved by Dante. Things could progress from there.
Chayah: If you'd prefer her to connect with Dante instead of Ruach, he could come to her rescue during one of her failed attempts to be a vigilante, and we could feel it out from there. If we went with Taylor and Chayah, she could visit the coffee shop he works at in order to pass out some missing person flyers of her sister. She is still grieving her dead fiance, so she would feel confused/annoyed/guilty about how she felt and acted after she leaves the shop. She could visit again out of curiosity, and...well, it's a vicious cycle. Maybe something about her sparks Taylor's interest, and he seeks her out outside of work? Or maybe she saves him from a mugger or something? I dunno, but there are possibilities.
