In lieu of other options, Julia continued reading the journals. Her name would reappear occasionally, with continuing details about her life. Others were so documented as well. Some basic google-fu connected the names of the ships. The Mary Celeste, Ourang Medan, København, Teignmouth Electron... all ghost ships. The journals did nothing to explain what correlation the writer was trying to make between the people he or she was following and the mystery of the ships, if there was one at all. | In lieu of other options, Julia continued reading the journals.

It was subtle at first, almost attributable to a twitch of the eye, but soon they were erratically jerking about on the page like a pinned butterfly that was still alive and straining for freedom. Julia tried to keep her cool, unsure if her mind was on the precipice of snapping of if she'd already careened over that ledge, but trying to hide hide any signs of distress from possible observers. |

Nepenthe is a caucasian woman in her early-mid fourties. Her mostly Irish heritage is betrayed by a pale complexion, naturally copper-red hair, and the smattering of freckles that appears across her face and arms if she spends any amount of time in the sun. Her deep-set eyes are a dusky hazel, her cheekbones classically high, her small nose slightly upturned. She stands at 5'8", fairly tall for a woman, with a voluptuous figure that curves pleasantly into an hourglass. | Nepenthe is a caucasian woman in her early-mid fourties.

Since going underground she frequently dyes it, most commonly blonde. When it comes to clothing, her style is actually fairly conservative. Skirts, blouses, blazers. She isn't afraid to show a little skin if she feels a situation might warrant it, but she dislikes having to rely on her body to open doors or solve problems. She favours functionality in her wardrobe choices. |

Corvus - ??. Assumedly a mage, Julia encountered him as an 'asset' aquired by Cheiron. It was through reading Corvus's many journals, which had been given to her by the company after her name was found to appear in them, that Julia came to her Awakening. She only had the opportunity to speak to him on one occasion, shortly before her Awakening occured. Although she was told that he did not survive one of Cheiron's test procedures, part of her believes that he's still out there somewhere. | Corvus - ??.

− | Like most Libertines, Nepenthe doesn't see her magic through the lens of archaic Atlantean mysticism. To her, magic is just another tool in humanity's belt. A powerful tool, yes, but a tool. She doesn't consider herself as anything other then human, and her Arcanum are closely tied to that. Being primarily focused on Mind, her magic is inherently entwined with that which she considers to be the true essence of humanity; the ability to think, reason. To remember... and to forget.
