[[Dynasty_%26_Decadence| Back to the Dynasty & Decadence Main Page]]

Peleps Tanic Pranzha is a player character in [[Dynasty %26 Decadence]] played by (chrespo).

==Peleps Tanic Pranzha==
*Aspect: Air
*Concept: Polymath of the Arts
*Motivation: To preserve House Tanic
*Anima: A great cormorant
*Anima Power: Triples leap-distances and takes no falling damage for 5m. Also, adds Essence to DV against Thrown and Archery attacks.

===Description===
Pranzha's skin has a soft blue tone, and his hair is short cropped black, salted with stray whites. He is of a fairly lanky build, and has deep, dark lines around his eyes, and he has a haunted mien about him. More often than not, especially of late, he has an unkempt 5-aclock shadow on his high boned cheeks.

In contrast to his unsavory appearance, he dresses sharp; Pranzha has an effortlessness about his fashion, blending traditional Blessed Isle-styles with more barbaric and savage accoutrements.

(I am imagining that Pranzha's Appearance 4 stands for more that his look is very distinct and sets him apart from his peers. Pranzha is Appearance 4 in the same way that Steve Buscemi or Ron Pearlman are Appearance 4. If that makes any sense. He is stylish and cool, also looks kind of weird and odd. He is not beautiful, but depending on your inclinations, he can be considered handsome, in a rugged kind of way.)

Welcome to the spiritual successor of the sadly departed Play By Post RPG:s Nihao Honey 2 (The New Challengers!) and Zaijian Baby, both spinoffs of Belphanior-sama´s tabletop game for Weapons of the Gods called - you guessed it - Nihao Honey!

Welcome to Nihao Honey Wiki, the authoritative information central concerning "[[Shen Zhou City]], a place that never is. Modern skylines, ancient temples, sprawling forests, this place has all the backdrops you'd want for awesome kung fu battles... but they'll have to wait, because you're late for homeroom class!"

... at least that was the case, in the golden age before everything went to hell. It sort of still is, but the kung fu high schools of Zhen Zhou City are in the grip of a new and horrible power - the dark conqueror known only as the [[Black Crow King]]!

S01Ep04 - Opposites Attract

Chrespo:

'''So1ep04 - Opposites Attract'''

- This episode opened with the release of one of Ping's old "boyfriends" (ie. stalkers), and dealt with all of the chaos he managed to stir up before he was incarcerated again.

- Episode 4 also saw the introduction of Glorious Bamboo Dawn, who entered the fray with a verbal showdown between her and Rumble Rose, the leader of the scandalous Four Queens Gang. Principal Thorn cut the face off right before it came to blows.

- Bamboo was not slow to set up a cafeteria date with Iron Seraph. This was not a popular move at the Black Crane Campus. Seraph got waylaid by a band of overzealous fanboys (led by one Persistent Dragonfly Bui) who worship the blond buxom newcomer, and Bamboo herself got caught in a trap set by Eclipse.

- Meanwhile, Dead Badger, Ping's stalker, tightened the noose in trying to track down Thrice-Radiant Ping.

- Red Star Dervish, having seen Iron Seraph being charged by the teen hormone brigade, received a text from Slum Jackal, warning her about a "fedora-clad hood robbing a 7-11, asking about Ping". In the gentlemanly company of Four Kicks Down, Dervish promptly decided to sit this one out.

- A mysterious pair of Heaven Hunters, Salty Hunter Hsu and Radio Silent turn up, who are Dead Badger with OMINUS HEAVEN SCIENCE TECH. The plot thickens.

- Ping decides that studying german with Kid Diablo Loco is boring, and takes off on her own. This worries Principal Thorn, who knows that Dead Badger is looking for her, so she sends Iron Seraph to find her (Ping).

- Having kidnapped Black Crane D-rankers Tangerine and Turquoise, Dead Badger and Iron Seraph find Thrice-Radiant Ping at the same time in a back alley deep in the gut of Zhen Zhou City.

- Six Cherry Blossoms, a strange shapeshifter of sorts with an extreme infatuation for Iron Seraph, enters the ranks of the Black Crane School.

- Dead Badger appeals to Ping's Baneful side, while Seraph does his best at trying to defuse the situation. The final insult comes when Ping decides to go with DB. This is when Seraph charges the ex-juvie, who is more than pleased at pushing the young Jin Shen to a fight.

- The Heaven Hunters crash the stand-off with their motorcycle. Salty Hunter Hsu and Radio Silent claim the jurisdiction of the two Baneful warriors. Seraph decides to protect Ping, despite having had it explained to him that two Baneful warriors of their power hanging out together could potentially rip a whole in the fabric of reality.

- Ping is mightily impressed by the consequences of her fraternizing with Dead Badger. Much more so than DB's own advances.

- Back on the Black Crane Campus, Bamboo "helps" the naive Vanilla Protagonist Ryu and Six Cherry Blossoms to hook up in exchange for homework-notes and other privileges.

- An enormous battle royale in the back alley follows, with Dead Badger and Seraph teaming up against Salty Hunter Hsu, and Radio Silent attempting to take out Ping with stealth and trickery.

- Salty Hunter Hsu took down Dead Badger, while Seraph in turn defeats Hsu honorably. Problems ensure when Dead Badger powers up and throws a piece of building at Radio Silent. Ping surprisingly stands in the way of the building and takes the hit for Radio.

- Dead Badger reveals his ace in the hole, that he is still the only one who knows where Turquoise is hidden. This angers Seraph and Ping extraordinarily.

- Suddenly, DB has an uncharacteristic change of heart. He agrees to give up. For a kiss from Ping. And in a similarly uncharacteristic act of generosity, Ping accepts. Them there Banefuls huh? Who the hell knows how they work!

- After pleasant good bye's, the Heaven Hunters take Dead Bager away, and Seraph, Tangerine and Ping go to release Turquoise. Mission accomplished!

- Oh, and Red Star Dervish and Four Kicks Down became an item, too.

''Now, it lay like a cross in the muddy snow, with rosy cheeks. The cold felt good on its skin. It had spent some time in a muddled confusion, in a landscape of dreams so unlike the fiery caves that was its unwelcoming home. Uncomprehending, trying to solidify what had no definition, making matter out of nothing. ''

''Nothing had made it feel this way in the past. Not even pain. ''

''Where to from here? Why anything, anymore? And, most importantly, how could it stay here? ''

''It had thought particularly long and hard on the last question. And after its lusts had been slaked, and it had lain in silence for a while, it had come to it. An idea. ''

''In a whirl of ninja-garb, snow and shadows, it rose, twirling slowly at first. Then quicker. And suddenly, it disappeared entirely. ''

''From behind the bush, a young girl stood. Her skin was peaches-and-cream, and she was clad in a short crimson kimono, and white legwarmers. Its white short, spiky cropped hair was tied up in a scarf. ''

''She raised a hand to her lips, and giggled."''

Red Star Dervish

2008-02-13T08:10:28Z

Chrespo: /* Appearance */

====== Red Star Dervish ======

Red Star Dervish is a character in the [[ZaijianHoneyBlues]] campaign setting, in the [[Nihao Honey 2]] subcampaign. She is played by Christopher Bengtsson, who was "headhunted" by Jerry Sköld to join in Belphanior's online sister-campaign. Dervish is a student of [[Black Crane High]].

===== About the Character =====
[[Image:Dervish2.jpg]]
Red Star Dervish is a tough ganger-chick with a heart of gold. She was born and raised in the slums of the Godseye-district in Shen Zhou City where she lived with her ginormous family (14 siblings!). Before long she started running with the [[Six Phantoms Consortium]], an influential street-gang led by the mysterious [[Blind Fox]].

Dervish has rescently (when the campaign started) been assigned by Fox to do recruiting for the Phantoms at the [[Black Crane High]]. Red Star has lately interpreted the situation that Fox was trying to protect her from some to her unknown danger by sending her to the Black Crane.

Spirited and openhearted, Dervish knows everyone who is worth knowing in the City. And if she doesn't, she knows someone who knows whoever she doesn't know. Needless to say, she's got a foot in everywhere, and she' knows Shen Zhou like the back of her hand.

Intuitive and curious, Dervish often acts as the face of the Black Crane students, and more than once has she had to mediate between [[Thrice-Radiant Ping]] and [[Iron Seraph]]. She is often the go-to-girl for angsty teen-age problems as well.

As Jerry once put it, Dervish is the 'Cleric' of the party.

Red Star is always looking for a good time, and she is both carefree, loyal, relaxed and dedicated at the same time.

Tacked on inspirations drawn upon when being written about is Swan from "the Warriors", Haruko from "FLCL". She owes her [[signature style]] to Realm from Final Fantasy VI.

===== Appearance =====
[[Image:Dervishyoko.jpg]]
Part revolutionary freedom-fighter, part rocker, part mod, Dervish always makes sure to dress like pop-culture icon. Dinky Dukes, wifebeaters, converse, high-heels, cravattes, scarfs, leather jackets and leather gloves, army-caps, sunshades.

Dervish has got it all, and whatever she's wearing, she reeks of cool and style.

If she lived in the real world, Andy Warhol would have made her his Muse.

Red Star Dervish has a medium length bronze bell-cut, and a perpetual warm, golden tan. The dark pools of her eyes hint towards a level of insight that is older than her years (even if just a few!)

===== Kung Fu =====
Dervish dances like an animal with her expert Drunken Monkey, but she doesn't pack the punch she should although having good knowledge of the Dragon Sabre-style.

Her [[signature style]] is all about grafitti trickery and painted illusions, and it is based on Crafts.
[[Dervish´s Signature Style]].

===== Contacts and Informants =====
Dervish has a comprehensive information net that stretches all over Shen Zhou City. Here are a few specifics with whom she has dealt with during Nihao Honey 2 : The New Challengers.

[[The Doc]], a pervy hacker with too much spare time.

[[Slum Jackal]], a sharp, arrogant, and reclusive bishounen who hangs out on the subways.

The local rocker-band [[Tony's Crew]] are on a good standing with Dervish as well.

=====Game stats=====

For complete stats, see [[Dervish´s character sheet]].

=====Trivia=====

* Dervish is a huge fan of jpop, ranging from Nanine and Supercar, to the Pillows and Noodles and back again.

* The Six Phantom's ganger is a rather acomplished grafitti-artist.

* Despite her compelling personality, Dervish has a rather short dating history.

* Owns both a Vespa and a MC.

* Favors the beer-brand "Kitsune."

==The Four Questions==

'''1) Why are you more loyal to the Empress and/or the Realm than the average Dynast?'''

Sashwesa hasn´t ever met the Empress, or seen her. He knows enough about her and the agendas of the Realm already. He has become a visionary of the grand monolith that is the Dynasty. The agent from the Frozen Tusk is the Scarlet Throne´s humble servant, raised from birth to carry out the tasks handed to him, be they war, intelligence gathering, or murder.
Sashwesa was breed and created for this one purpose. And why would he question the ways of the Realm?

'''2) Who do you serve, apart from the Empress? Who else constitutes a superior?'''

Superiora Yavweina Vastini taught Sashwesa everything he knows. She supervised his creation, and his teaching. Vastini showed him the ropes at the breeding facillity of the Cult of the Frozen Tusk. She was the closest thing to a mentor, confidant and girlfriend Sashwesa ever got.
Once Sashwesa became Nellens Vieu and joined House politics and the true weight of his mission, she vanished from his life. Vastini stayed secluded within the grottoes and gardens of the Frozen Tusk, a lost haven somewhere on the icy tundra across the Haslanti leauge.

Jazzablanc was Sashwesa´s first contact within the underbelly of crime when he was positioned in Chiaroscuro. He would do jobs for him under a hidden name (jobs that got acredited to his mythical persona, Blind Wind) to bargain access to certain venues of information and services.
Jazzablanc was a wizened old trickster gentleman, who taught Sashwesa the most esoteric skills in everything from escapology to shadowing, break-ins and stealth murder.

Most recently, Nellens Vieu has been taking orders from the All Seeing Eye, on behalf of the direct will of the Empress. The time has come for the Realm to scoop up their unorthodox tool, and begin to use it in earnest.

Leedal Endar is the newest authority in Nellens Vieu´s life.

'''3) What did you openly achieve in the past century that makes you a worthy subject for historians of the next Age to investigate thoroughly?'''

Sashwesa´s legend has been spread through two names; the official achievements of Nellens Vieu in the service of the Realm, and the more dubious and secret triumphs of Blind Wind, the latter of more superstitious and boogiemanesqe proportions.

Nellens Vieu has served as a representative of the Realm in the Haslanti Leauge and Halta (where unnoticed information gathering occurred, the most revealing being letters from a high councilman of Cherek, connecting him to dealings with Deathlords).

Vieu has fought dirty backwater wars for the honor of the Scarlet Throne, and led countless guerilla operations into Lookshyan territories.

Sashwesa has also been a trusted assassin of the Empress, and both protected the Scarlet Throne through picking off political upstarts and ill-loyal generals. His most famous undercover mission (within the All Seeing Eye and the Military that is) was his dismantling of a necrotic weapon of destruction set up on one of the fortress-islands in the Skullstone Archipelago by the Silver Prince.

'''4) What weaknesses do you possess that aren't just personal failings, but could be exploited by your enemies to cost you the Game of Thrones? What are the fields of engagement where you can't just apply Game Theory analysis, but instead will act against your interests?'''

There is an otherworldy loneliness and paranoia that has grown within Sashwesa since his time in the breeding facility. His alien mannerisms can make him a bit challenging to work with at times, and for his enemies and rivals, this failing can be exploited in order to confuse Sashwesa.

On the flipside of this eerie wierdness is the rage that has built up over the years, the shackled dog, within Sashwesa. He is used as a monster in the darkness to scare opponents of the Throne into knowing their place, a boogieman that will show up at your doorstep if you don´t keep in line.
The leash on such a man is a delicate matter, and the Empress knows this.

A harlot of the dockside in Arjuf has taken particular interest in Nellens Vieu, and figured out that there is more to him than he lets on.

There is also Sashwesa´s split interests in serving the Scarlet Throne, yet taking orders from the All Seeing Eye. The hidden masters of the Eye take advantage of this and send him on errands and missions that further their own agendas rather than the Empresses, yet use her voice of command to lead him to do their bidding.

==Backstory==
Sashwesa was born through a secret eugenics programme that had been erected by direct orders of the Empress. The Cult of the Frozen Tusk was the dummy corporation, a monastic society of monks who cultivated a vast flora and fauna in a Shangri La-esque cave hidden somewhere on the tundra of the Haslanti Leauge.

But deep sins were committed beneath the lush gardens and the zoological wonders that resided in them.
A complicated system of breeding dictated by the quality of the participants essence was enforced by the Frozen Tusk. The progeny of the projects where then incubated in jade eggs, that were placed in "auspicious rookeries" in the caves, ie. convergence points of Dragon lines.

The Monks of the Frozen Tusk spent weeks and weeks of meditating beside these eggs, and sent their own essence into them.

Sashwesa was one of the firstborn, from the hatch the monks had code-named "Eager".

The boy grew to a man, and a dangerous man at that. His sole purpose of existence was to carry out the will of the Empress. The secret was that Sashwesa had been taught to do so willingly.
That was what hatch "Eager" was, super-soldiers loyal to the Scarlet Throne, born to carry out her dirty work.

When Sashwesa graduated from the Frozen Tusk, he had been trained as a spy, mystic and assassin. He was extremely accomplished.
His unusual upbringing had messed with his mind though (bet you didn´t see that one coming!)
Sashwesa had become distanced, alienated and eccentric. The spy had a cool air and a strange androgynous quality to him. He was almost empathetic to a fault, something that steeled his will and made him even more withdrawn from "regular" Dragonblooded.

And beneath this complicated veil, slumbered an anger and a consciousness of the wrongness of his own existence.

"What am I? Why am I?" where two questions that Sashwesa could answer the only way he knew. The Will of the Empress. And it comforted him.
