CHARACTER
Name: Nadya Lapteva
Canon: Something Dark and Holy
Blurp:

Welcome to the book series nobody knows. I have desperately been trying to find a game that would work for her.

Nadya grew up as a Cleric in a monastery where she was kept as a treasure due to her ability to talk to the pantheon and great magic. From a young age she was taught she would be the one to stop the war that's been raging for years and years between her country and the heretical Tranavia.

Turns out the monastery, and the church in general, was a lot more like a cult than anything and her pantheon had been using and lying to her for her entire mistake. Alas she realizes this far too late and ends up making some Pretty Big Mistakes. Like being gaslight by her main goddess into assisting in wiping out all of Tranavia's magic.

Then accidentally releasing the fallen eldritch gods.

Also dying and being resurrected only to find out the real reason she can preform magic isn't because the gods bless her when she prays to them it's....

because she's an eldritch god and has more power than they do. So logically they've just been lying to her all her life to make sure she doesn't realize she's as powerful as she is and maybe rebel.

Or accidentally unleash her power and start the path to the end of the world. That'd sure suck if that happened (spoiler: it happened).

Really, at the end of the day she's just a kid that had her childhood stolen from her. Lost everyone, found out her life was a lie, and has way more responsibility and creepy monstrous power put on her than anyone ever should. She gives people WAY more chances than they should, is stubborn as hell, and somehow despite constantly being betrayed and lied to she still manages to be hopeful.


Vessel Type & General ideas:
Going with Token for now and would absolutely love Bloodwright because that's the magic she accidentally got rid of that Tranavia had and she would just have SO much conflict with that. All her life her gods told her that kind of magic was wrong. It'd be a struggle. Necromancer or Aquamancer would be fantastic too!

What I really want to do is give her more of a chance and breathing room to think about the massive mistakes she's made, the things she's done for revenge and love, what it means that she's died twice and come back as this eldritch...thing. Then struggling with what exactly she does not to fix all the shit she fucked up in the world.

If she even can. idk there's a lot to dig into and the setting seems great for her/it
