Glass Lotus [EN] | Партия

It's a sphinx! The size of a common house cat... a fluffy orange cat with wings. But it's a sphinx! A proud magical creature, don't you dare call her "fluffy"! Meow! I mean, roar!

Shesemet is a sphinx, a proud and wise magical creature! But these stupid hoomans don't understand it, they call her stupid names like "Fluffy" and pet her as if she was a plush toy! Well, the wise Shesemet agrees to tolerate the hooman stupidity, as long as they feed her and scratch her behind her ears.
Motivation - Protect Her Lotus: That stupid hooman girl's soul is now bound to Shesemet, and she must now protect her. That girl nearly got herself killed once - she won't be able to survive without Shesemet's help!
Complication - Arrogant: The wise Shesemet never, NEVER makes mistakes! And when she does, it was not a mistake!
Complication - Still a Cat: Oh, look - is that a laser pointer beam?! Is that a bird?! Hooman, I'm hungry! Ohhh, yesss, scratch me like that, my hooman slave!

Nabucatnezzar, or Nab for short, looks like a normal house or stray cat. Nothing more specific can be said about him, though, as this Companion likes to change his exact looks within a wide array of options, appearing pretty much however he likes as long as it is a felis catus.

This is one of the ways Nab is using his power - illusion magic, or magic of projections. Others include creating images, sounds and light sources around him, as well as turning himself and others completely invisible.

To worry is to suffer twice.

Motivation: Naught, Fun and Tricks. There is no point in semi-eternal life - unless you live it to the fullest! So what if you low-key exasperate everyone you know? You mean well for them anyway.
Complication: No effort go in vain. If you failed, what's the point in trying the same tactic? Good thing i have a million tricks up my sleeve...
Complication: Back-Stager. I am not exactly a warrior, alright? There's nothing wrong in worrying about your own fur. And Anyes relies on me staying alive, too...

Real Name Agness Roméa (parential Wilport)
Birth Day September 2nd, 1998
Origin Chicago, USA (lived La Rochelle, France)
Height Lower than average
Weight Average

Power: Supernatural body control (Machine movement?). Having seemingly gained the powers similar to her fathers', Roméa shows the ability to control her bodily resources to exert feats of great muscle strength and precision.
Companion: Nabucatnezzar, the projector cat

Status: Alive

Superhero costume is not much different from usual business outfit, but includes brown hair changed to gray and a kind of tactical mask, covering the lower half of her face.

Usually a calm and collected young lady, during last few months Agnés was a little shaken by the truth revealed about her father, and the organization he was - and now she is - working on. Still she is holding herself well, polite and prompt.

Motivation: Responsibility. My father and other people like him devoted their lives to protecting humanity and fighting crimes. Now, when they are gone, it's fair to take this duty over.
Complication: Secret Identity. I should balance my new "work" with the old life, protecting my close ones from learning about Lotus.
Complication: Be a good girl, You always have to be. I feel hard for others' suffering. I am trying to help everyone around, no matter good or bad.
Complication: Conceal, Don't feel, Don't let them know. Yes, all of this is hard to bear, but i should not allow my hardships to affect my efficiency. In fact, it's better not to show my own wants and needs much too often.
Complication: Lawfulness. Things are one thing, but sometimes we also should fight criminals. I fear that once I will have to cross the line of the law.

From young age, Terance Wilport followed the same path. Seeing the injustices of the world and having both mentality and dedication to fight them, this man, no matter the life around him, has always been honing his body and mind for that purpose. From boxing in school, to athletics in college, to firearms in police, to a more... special training at Harvey Point. Sometimes this drove people away from him; sometimes it built a connection stronger than any other With his last wife, Julia Roméa, it was really hard to say if she was attracted to him thanks to or in spite of that mindset, but it were her, and their dear daughter Angess, the ones who made Terance first time in his life to consider retirement. Too little they all knew, that the path he followed is yet to lead him to the last place.

It wasn't supposed to be a mission, just a business trip. But on a certain tepid summer day of 2005, a few days after, mrs. Roméa came home after an unusually long day at work. They are going to go on a journey in a few days, she said to little Agness, so it's better to start preparing as soon as the morning arrives. The little one was excited, though concerned: what if dad returned home before them, wouldn't he worry? Her mother smirked to that: "Nous n'allons pas retourner à Chicago."

Just like that, being six and a half years old, Agness moved to La Rochelle. Mother already tought her the language of her, so integration was rather easy. Soon after the family recieved a letter, signed by mr. Wilport. He was assigned to a very special, important and secret mission, he wrote, and because of that, is not allowed to meet them anymore, but nontheless, he will write. The young lady was a bit sad, because she couldn't see her father again, but also excited, because now he was even a cooler super-spy, than before.

New letters were recieved times and times again, mainly on Christmas, birthday and other holidays. The return adress was some postamate in Geneve, from where, supposedly, somebody else, who knew what to do, picked and brought the andwering letter somewhere else. Besides this correspondence, Agness' life was unfolding rather normally, if a little erratic. Enthusiastic young lady started a lot, but finished a few. When adolescent years arrived, she managed, though, to pull herself together and gain a decent education. After college, Agnés again tried to work in various places, and, though didn't stay anywhere for long, felt she was learning a thing or two every time. By that time she only wrote to her father on Christmas, and so did he.

On December 24th, 2024, she was working in the office of some local police department in Lyon, when things attacked. Police tried to shoot the things, but soon they were overwhelmed and trapped inside the department, with creatures outside. Some time after, these creatures decided to get inside.

Some of the people tried to run, most hid. Even the latters were slowly found, one by one. Agness heared their screams from the archive room, where she locked herself in. The screams were resounding closer, and soon even steps, unnaturally long and geavy, were heared.

'If we hurry, you could actually help somebody', she heared a voice suddenly. Looking back quickly, she saw a pair of little green eyes looking at her from the dark corner. The eyes moved, and from the corner, a black cat came out. 'Do you wish the power to do so? People outside, both normal and special, could really use some help right now.'

Red-haired woman, who looks quite young despite already going past 40 and never being a Lotus herself. Mostly wears formal clothes and can easily be found in her office in Hiroshima Department.



Real name: Sakamata Akane
DoB: 06.08.1983
Origin: Japan
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 69 kg
Power: None

Akane is definitely passionate about Lotus and The Things. She works a lot and probably knows more about Rifts and Lotus than any other living human... which is still not that much.

Информация доступна только мастеру и хозяину персонажа.

Tall woman in her forties. She radiates wisdom and is definitely very capable, as she mostly wears the official clothes even outside the work. Lives and works in London as the Head of Department of Public Knowledge and Diversions (DPKaD for short)



Real name: Viola D'Angelo
DoB: 14.02.1979
Origin: Italy
Height: 177 cm
Weight: 65 kg
Power: None

Quite serious business woman. Has some Karen-vibes to her, but she usually recognizes her own mistakes. Has a daughter and loves her dearly, but work is still the first priority to her... for some reason.

Информация доступна только мастеру и хозяину персонажа.

Malformed amalgamation of different feats. Has no connection to Orca, even if it looks like that. His injuries are from close contact with Rift and Things. Since then he became the breakthrough, as he is fluent in their language and all the scars don't stop him from getting closer and closer to the heart. Currently resides in the Chernobyl Department.



Real name: Wolfgang Weidinger
DoB: 14.03.1985
Origin: Austria
Height: 185 cm
Weight: 70 kg
Power: None

He is not a Lotus, so he doesn't have an actual Companion, but he has a hamster, called Minsc. He is mostly just a hamster, but somehow his lifespan is severely prolonged and his size is bigger than your typical hamster.

Kusntkammer is a weirdo. He isn't very social, easily goes on different rants and a pain in the ass to talk to, as he can randomly change the language or even the subject. He is an extreme example of what Rifts turn people's minds into.

Информация доступна только мастеру и хозяину персонажа.

Beautiful and graceful girl with black hair and quite often a beret on top. Her eyes were bright green even before she became a Lotus. She is very stylish and pays a lot of attention to clothes.



Real name: Quinn McGrath
DoB: 16.01.1992
Origin: Ireland
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 59 kg
Power: Starfall

Her Companion is Patrick, the Infinite Snake.

Initially she doesn't appear very serious, but it just a distraction, as if she is passionate about something, she will put her all into succeeding. Even if it is something so simple as Tetris.
