 ”i lived a life of servitude to the untold cosmic horrors that exist beyond our universe and all i got was this lousy eyepatch”, essentially. philosophy professor @ miskatonic uni and a freemason. he’s got an eye on those vigilantes.
friendship. if someone can stomach that sinking feeling they get around emi, sure. you get used to it. there’s acquaintances around the university, other freemasons. he’s probably in a book club. yes, betty, he really did enjoy the fault in our stars, it just would have been better if there were a tentacle or two more. relax, betty, he’s joking. occultists might know him as n’dhathudhao. most likely to sit in a café reading by himself because no one sits around him.
rivalry. he oozes distrust and enjoys faceless cults. vigilantes who don’t appreciate ‘acts of generosity’ will not like emi & he’ll be disappointed when they spurn his offers. he sees himself and his baby cthulhus above initiatives’ jurisdiction. he’s not a law-breaker so he doesn’t think they should worry. he himself probably should.
romance. his heart’s taken by unfathomable entities too overwhelming for our reality but they probably just want to be friends. someone might ignite his interest in the meantime. he likes those who are curious. he likes those who make him curious. but there’s the danger of obsession with emi so make sure he checks himself before he wrecks himself. fellas only.

CONSIDER THIS A RAINCHECK FOR MY FUTURE CHARAS but in the meantime have my baby girls artemis - olympian of the hunt here. i think it would be really funny if she's been killing his eldritch suckers for awhile now and then she eventually meets................the Lord of Tentacles. except he's being pushed around by his own vassals?  UNACCEPTABLE eldrich is an embarrassment to beast lords everywhere. so yeah artemis is disgusted but not in the way that most people should probably be disgusted hahahahaha physis - she's a vigilante by night who is freakishly paranoid ab her identity bc she's a Public Figure by day. anyway physis/sophia is not a scholar in the traditional sense but she dabbles in some naturalism with a wickedly fatalistic sense of humor despite being a sentimental woobie....yeaaa... also she manipulates her molecule to punch bad guys in the teeth if you're into that cries basically my girls all take darwinism Way Too Seriously |

eldritch: here, have delta. they both love books so a book club two-man meeting could potentially happen :j Delta's relatively unknown as a villain outside a circle of higher-ranked Initiative members, I'd think, so atm he is just as good as another civilian. I imagine they'd already have met a few times as Delta usually hangs out in cafés (alone) and Miskatonic University (alone too).
p/s: idt he'd notice anything was off until it actually happened in his face, or he's just faking it ;D who knows

gimme these darwinist baby girls
artemis : goddess of hunt, please destroy all his disgusting abominations that are hanging out in the city. i am so sorry that when you meet the Lord of Tentacles he is being slobbered on by one of his crawling monstrosities that will not sit.
honest 2 god i luve the idea of a thread where emi ol’ eldritch is like “hey, would you stop murdering my pets. they haven’t been doing anything wrong” that have been precariously placed around kingsport. i’d also be up for starting! also he would not get along with her dog squad likely (Animals Hate Him, he is cthulu, looks 36). but i like the essential relationship: artemis incidentally assassinates these gross monstrosities she sees every so often. it makes lord of tentacles very sad. maybe he tries to bargain with ms. cold, terrifying fury.
i would want to destroy all of his entities too. they smell awful, poor artemis’ hyper sensitive nose.
physis : well there’s nothing better than being in the presence of someone who can only heighten paranoia. emi likes to keep up to date on the vigilante world which means he may be aware of physis’ actions but i enjoy the idea of him meeting sophia when she isn’t doing her nitty-gritty, cleaning the streets work. i’d love a scenario where he meets her public figure persona especially as the resulting chat could be very lovely. i’m not entirely sure of a scenario though? i’ll have to think on this longer.
delta : bless iskander either not noticing emi’s terrible aura or just plain acting oblivious. it’s a small gesture but i’m sure it makes this abomination feel warm and fuzzy for once, whatever it is.
a two-man book club sounds fantastic. emi would be wholly unaware of iksander’s life as villain delta. instead, he’s just happy with this solitary fella who sat kinda near him one day. i like the idea of two traditionally secluded characters having that sort of relationship. i’d love to thread out them meeting and would be willing to start too? or if you have an alternative thread idea, i’m all ears for it! |

I dunno where exactly Kane would squeeze into the history of cthulu eldritch , but he's been around and a huge pain in the magical community ass for several thousand years so I'm pretty sure they could've met at one point or another. I can see Eldritch being one of the few people who spikes Kane's interest, but more so for the cthulu thing...
All in all though if Eldritch were to need anything; spells, information, a ritual, help taking over all of humanity with the help of the tentacle king, he'd be sure to get help from Kane though there'd definitely be some self-interest there

Post by VALKYRIE on Jun 8, 2016 6:01:41 GMT
rolls out the red carpet.....hello
i have two chars i think would work for emi.
VALKYRIE is a public figure/initiative superhero who has probably fought his tentacles on the weekend and takes philosophy classes on the weeknights. she feels very badly about how uncomfortable she is around professor emi and blames it all on herself and tries to make up for it overtime by offering to take him out for coffee to discuss last week's reading, ends up vomiting in the cafe bathroom. fun times.
as the superhero valkyrie like i said she's probably encountered him. i'm not sure how..malicious? emi gets, but he could probably fuck with her brain hard through the paranoia aspect bc she has a lot of repressed fear and anxiety about her powers and being too strong to avoid hurting people.
leto is still rotting in wip hell atm but the important thing is his powers and those are all written up, if u wanna take a look: tl;dr he's an energy mutant who channels primal chaos and manipulates probability/paradox and i feel like he and emi could amplify each other??he's a vigilante so maybe emi blesses him w/ an act of generosity and their powers combine/interact in new and terrifying ways.
i also have aegis who is basically my winter soldier expy (brainwashed ww2 soldier put on ice when he's not used for nefarious purposes by evil organization) and i'm having a hard time thinking of how they'd fit together (although i do like the idea of aegis squirming in tentacles) but if something strikes u let me know i'm always ready 2 party |

eldritch: I think Delta's lack of reaction to Emi is probably due to how he perceives emotions/feelings differently than other people, but we could explore that further in-character.
You know what I'd like to see? Something like the two of them just trading ~mystery books~ somewhere in the near future knowing the other person would enjoy the book or something. Just that kind of unspoken, kinda deep relationship that happened because they sat near each other one day? But yes, hit me with that thread. o/

eldritch can you start the thread w/ artemis?? i can see us starting off in either emi's usual haunt or the initiative compound, depending on whether you want their meeting to happen like Artemis Discovers the Lair of Tentacles or emi goes up to them and be like "hey can i talk to the archer girl about something" also, i've actually been thinking ab doing a freemason plot w physis? except like..nobodys even noticed that we've GOT a freemason. maybe emi could introduce my girl to that? alternatively she COULD show up as a civilian thing but any intellectual things she might show up for.... are probably more in the realm of science/tech... i should shove her into a donor's dinner @ the uni and they could run into each other while on campus?

KANE : delighted to get plots with this 5000 yo 5 yo. honestly, i could definitely cotch with the idea that kane has been around during times of the cthulhu stuff. from what i imagine the most organised forms of worship erupted before and following the writings of their “high priest” h. p. lovecraft in the 1920s so if kane wanted to notice some white nonsense about magic squids starting to truly crystallise then? which is only a short period of time in kane’s long, long life, but i suppose worship of unfathomable deities is vaguely eye-catching.
that settled, i actually love the idea of them meeting once or even several points in the past. kane’s magic-sensing powers pulling him into a weird path of cults & kane having his own reputation amongst them. emi having heard about him and met him once or twice and oh. he still hasn’t changed much. but it’s only been 10 years since emi saw him and that doesn’t feel too long to kane, i bet.
still, kane’s slightly in it for the cthulhu. what can emi say, guys dig the tentacles. i like a peculiarly amicable relationship, a “you scratch my back, i scratch yours” except with ancient magic and cosmic horrors. considering jane’s classed as a vigilante, would he ever be interested in getting on the freemasons payroll? it has its Perks™. i’m sure the freemasons would like him to be but i guess there would be Conditions™.
anyway, i’d be up for threading them, but i might need to think of a specific scenario first unless you’ve got one? actually i think i could come up with one gimme a sec.
a celebrity appears on the red carpet. paparazzi lights flash. helloooo deads
VALKYRIE : is so unfathomably sweet in this plot she herself might be an old god herself. in other news, emi will be sad that all his tentacles are being destroyed by the initiative because they’ve done nothing wrong in his opinion.
thalia making a sincere effort despite an awful, visceral reaction to emi’s presence is lovely to me as well. too bad he does not give out participation credits for that. trying to discuss hermeneutics and keep down nausea. NOT AN EASY TASK. a coffee out rather than being in his small office sounds like it’d be less claustrophobic.
if they met outside of university and on the job, i don’t think eldritch has the intention of being intentionally malicious just yet. there definitely could be circumstances where something could arise. right now he’s intentionally avoiding any sign of initiatives’ activities but they could always stumble on each other. his nightly monitoring of kingsport may get him ending up at the wrong place at the wrong time
leto : i am super interested in because the void is only one of emi’s favourite things. some kind of mutual power amplification plot would be fantastic. i am so up for a potential sponsorship but, hey, with emi it comes with duties of a bit of freemason work secret heroes who work in the intiatives can’t do. if the freemasons work like that, of course,
i’m definitely up for the fun times with the void, if you get up leto’s plotter i can hit that?
aegis : smh, poor winter soldier being controlled by a cult like spectre that don’t seem to even WORSHIP anything. what’s up with that? where’s the god with at least 26 eyes, am i right? i’m always up for having people squirm in emi’s tentacles buuut i don’t think emi’s done anything to deserve spectre’s big bad soldier on him. yet.
tl;dr; okay, i am super keen on a thread to have fun with thalia but i’m interested in leto too? i think i could start with either of them. one day he can meet aegis i’m sure.
delta : so up for mystery book trade! i love that and the way you’ve described it all, i’ll get that thread up asap.
artemis : yup, i love starting so it’s really no problem. i think i can go with artemis discovering a lair of tentacles. “please don’t disturb us goddess artemis we are very busy, also btw…”
physis : donor dinner works on campus. university donors always has such potential for freemasons’ sticky fingers as well as a token appearance from miss trophy wife. a run-in sounds delicious but i’ll start the artemis thread before i start thinking about this if that’s alright? |

eldritch awesome, awesome, awesome. would you like me to start the thalia/emi thread at some point and i'll tag you when leto's plotter is up? |

Post by physis on Jun 9, 2016 2:11:25 GMT
hello pls be a dear and start the lair of tentacles for me, artemis will be by shortly
as for physis there's a 50/50 chance i can start unless you want to? i'm kind of in the middle of studying for the lsat so either way is fine w/ me if you don't mind waiting. so i guess our plans are basically just "whoever is free first can start" lol

VALKYRIE – wahhh did not see this, i would mightily appreciate if you could start but if you're having trouble i don't mind doing it. also please tag me for leto, i am looking forward to the potential of a void duo. physis – YUP LAIR OF TENTACLES STARTED rip emi you're not meant to be a villain + exactly that on physis, i wanna see if i can get up a post for that in the next couple of days.

eldritch Yura -
COSMIC INTEREST EH? HMMMMM..........
Actually since Yura's in her human form, her cosmic side is kinda kept a secret for now. Though it may be possible for eldritch to pick up some clues during conversations with her. Also, I assume eld is a loner-type character due to his aura? (lemme know if I'm wrong) cause people will tend to stay away from that right? Yura will be completely unaffected by it due to her being as well as her immunity. Eld may find her quite fascinating~ Let me know if you want to thread! |

YESSSSS Yura ! sorry for the slow reply here, i've been feeling unmusey with emi BUUUUUT i love that you've posted gosh i was gonna get on you first!! ); emi would be sad she's keeping it a secret. no need to be cosmicloseted, yura. then again, no way for him to be sad if he doesn't know. ;) you've hit the nail on the head with the loner evaluation though! it is not exactly by choice he ends up alone at lunchtime. c'est la vie. the sacrifices you make for primordial gods.
i really love the thought yura would not be affected at all by his unnatural presence bc that means lovely interaction which he is not toooo used to getting. i'd love a thread like that; she doesn't realise the aura he puts out and joins him when he doesn't have company. unfortunately, i'm a bit tied up with threads + lack of muse for him, but when it rockets back i'll hit u up in the future? <3 I WOULD LOVE IT. TWO COSMIC BEINGS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF EACH OTHER. SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL SHEEP esp bc they're both rather passive, distanced & thoughtful people. i'd rly like to see that interact! |

UNACCEPTABLE eldrich is an embarrassment to beast lords everywhere. so yeah artemis is disgusted but not in the way that most people should probably be disgusted hahahahaha
