Affiliation The Slacker God of What's All The Fuss A
Description You look at the young Velvet What's All The Fuss About?, cult leader and owner of the Temple of Whatever entertainment and relaxation centre.. Her face is vaguely familiar, probably from a commercial or one of her ever-popular Monday morning 'Relax and Sleep In' evanglical shows. The wide, almond-shaped, gold-flecked green eyes are calm, pupils slitted catlike. The dark lipstick on her generous mouth contrasts with her tawny-furred face, the whole surrounded by touseled gold-blonde long hair.. Velvet's body is of typical SuperMegaTopian make, busty, slim-waisted, round-hipped and athletic. She slouches comfortably at about 5'6" tall. She dresses, as usual, remarkably unlike a cult leader. Her full, calf-length, industrial-punk bright green skirt hides her muscular legs save for when the side-slit opens. Over the skirt she wears an oversized black T-shirt, obviously old and soft from use, which bears the logo 'Star Hike' and a picture of a starship. Two silver wire-hoop earrings grace her left ear, matching the sharp spikes on her white leather collar and bracelet. Velvet's manner is smooth, always laid-back.. She slouches walking or standing, her hips swinging indolently when she moves. When she turns the full force of her eyes on people they tend to slouch a little too, and go off to find a TV to veg in front of. She speaks in a soft, low drawl, and the scent of sandalwood and violets perfumes the air about her.
Other Description
History A charismatic young snake(lion?) who believes herself to be the earthly representative and semi-daughter of the Slacker God of What's All The Fuss About?, also known as the Adversary of Uptightness. This is in fact true. He was drunk at the time, but the incident wasn't anything to worry himself about, he just dropped the five year old newly created girl off at some orphanage, stopping by for periodic visits when there was nothing on TV. They always got along rather well together, which is expected -- he did create her, after all -- and the relationship that evolved as she reached her mid-teens wasn't a big deal to anyone except the occasional nun who walked in on it. Raised by the Sisters of St Bagosy, she created quite a stir before she was evicted by the newly-arrived Holy, leaving with a good quarter of the convent a couple of years ago to found her own compound. The Temple To Whatever, incidentally, bears a striking resemblance to a combination Roman Bathhouse/Movie Theatre/Nightclub with tanning parlour. The funds for said 'place of worship' came both from the coffers of St Bagosy's with her nuns-turned-worshipppers and the various other people she's managed to recruit, taking their life's savings in return for room, board, and limitless TV and movie viewing. The local police keep an eye on her, of course. The philosophy of her god, with whom she has a questionable relationship (but what's it matter what they do in there, anyhow?) is very simple: relax, it's no big deal, don't worry about it. She follows this pretty much to the letter and attempts, when she feels like it, to convince others of the same. That isn't a hard task, usually, but if it seems to be getting too much for her she can use her innate 'Gift from her god,' which enables her to induce laziness and general lack of ambition in people who meet her eyes, and also to shrug off damage that might hurt another person badly because, 'it's no big deal'. A couple of other cards up her sleeve: despite her laissez-faire attitude, she's managed to pick up a great deal of acrobatic expertise, and she can call on her god for assistance. The Adversary of Uptightness, alas, almost always gets pulled away from his bed, sees no real reason to stick around or do anything because it's not a big deal anyhow, and leaves. Obviously, she doesn't have it all good. When the police aren't investigating her and when she isn't being called up for income tax fraud (those sheets? no big deal. Just write down some numbers) she tends to be out dealing with the Heroes and Villains both -- man, those guys take things -way- too seriously. The fact that she can soak up a lot of damage doesn't mean she's immune, but it does mean she has very little respect for things like, oh, the wrong end of a gun, so she shows up in the hospital a lot. Additionally, she's an absolute danger in places where important work occurs -- the day she convinced the workers at the nuclear power plant that those beeping dials were boring, and did anyone want to play strip poker? was one that will be long remembered with shivers. In fact, a couple of the higher-up people responsible for letting her in ended up resigning and joining her...
Major Events Whaaa? I dunno. More converts and stuff. Talked with some God-guy named Dein. Met Ry'n stuff. I picked up that cute terrorist, too....
Misc Info / Links She runs the Temple to Whatever, so she tends to meet lots of people. She tends to be able to induce people to go watch TV with her by making them suddenly lazy and not particularly interested in the important things they may be doing -- this cuts both ways when it wears off. Older people (She's young at nineteen) hate her by reputation, taking her as a blatant example of the uselessness of today's youth, though they secretly like the way of life.
