#definitely a vbs npc

Which prsk oc should be at the club

[kawaiichibiart]

It's okay if i suggest an pjsk AU idea?

It's like basically the each of the units get a bodyguard hired for them

(Due to parents being worried, getting unwanted attention in public, etc)

I feel like each unit's bodyguard would have access to the sekai when the bodyguard have earned their trust

(I want to add more on this but I would like to hear ur ideas on this au)

Feel free to suggest and share project sekai aus with me, I like seeing them (:

As for this one specifically, I think it'd be interesting. And I can definitely see it for Leo/need, MMJ, and WxS.

Like, Leo/need is signed with a label, MMJ are doing well as idols, WxS technically already has one if we decide Kigurumi has been it since Emu recruited Tsukasa, since he acts protective over her.

This is Kigurumi btw:

I'm not sure when VBS or Nightcord would get one, but theirs would likely be later rather than sooner.

The AU could be used to help some NPCs grow, but I think it would be just as good if you use OCs.

My only condition, if I were to make the AU, is that I'd want the bodyguards to be adults who have had that job for a while now, like a few years. Like Ken's age, not a year or two older than the eldest characters we can have in a team when we play (so a year or two older than Tsukasa, for example).

WIP ask game

thank you for the tag @amellderiva but also curse you bc now everyone will see my flop disorganization lmao (jk)

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

i do not name WIPs. in fact i do not typically name a story at all until it is sitting in an AO3 draft and that's the last thing i need to post it lmao. mostly i give them names to help me remember what is what, but some of these babies i have like 4 different copies/vrs of them so that becomes confusing. weeee!

eventually mind control sex rip: set endgame. rook is going to die, unequivocally, so everyone agrees to a hail mary attempt to keep him alive. it goes very very wrong. rook is fucked up, has very complicated bitter feelings about being alive and the choices everyone made for him, and finds out backstory stuff he definitely would have rather died than know<3 where is the mind control sex, you ask? don't worry about it.

FINISH OR DIE BITCH!!!! v847: a switcheroo where rook visits solas in his dreams while he's stuck in the prison. don't worry about this title either it's fine.

doing stuff under the table: rook blowing solas under a table. self explanatory all around.

rook and solas b4 game: you will never guess, but. a bald annoying elf needs a guide to a place in necropolis for Historical Research. rook is the lucky winner.

ROOKS SHITTY EX V3: im sensing some hostility from myself. rook starts losing time, among other things, so he goes to solas for help because he is a yearning loser if solas can't figure out what's wrong nobody can. are shitty exs featured? perhaps.

dead dove freaks: cnc, solas roofies rook at a party and then does whatever the fuck he wants (consensually). this one is mostly only on hold bc i can't decide what POV to write from since they are both uhhh very different lol.

edging and etc: smut! can you believe?

rook pining + situationship hell: rook languishes in the lighthouse, wasting away like a melancholic victorian maiden in a novel; sometimes solas comes around, and they fuck.

adoni/emeric AU swap (OG + VB): NOT solrook, ha ha! adoni is my OC and emeric is my friend's NPC in a curse of strahd game. they have versions in many universes, all very different, and one day it gets all mixed up. this is sort of 'fiddle with it on and off' kind of story bc only one person is ever going to see it lol.

i do not have anyone to tag to begin with let alone 9 people lmao so uhh @ everyone ur tagged, Do It.

[starshine-valley]

Because of a post made by @novanonn i made some lore stuff about the new Vivid Bad Squad which I will call

ForEVER BURN (tried my best to incorporate both Gurney flap and EVER to make a similar combination that Vivid Bad Squad was)

The group of ForEVER BURN came into fruition with the help of Souma. Despite not being physically there to perform, he takes the role of the leader encouraging them to surpass RAD WEEKEND.

Arata participated in a live house competition (i think that’s what those are called??) and ended up bumping into Kotaro. Someone named Akito was performing and Arata had acted a teeny bit antagonistic against him. Kotaro, who overheard Arata’s harsh criticisms, began to defend Akito. Then they perform, it’s all well and good, Arata compliments Kotaro but gives him similar criticisms as he did with Akito. With Akito, since it was kinda to himself, it wasn’t too bad (at least compared to STRAY BAD DOG) but with Kotaro, he kinda went all in (similar to akito’s “you’re the least interesting out of all of them”).

That’s kind of how 2/4 of the group met.

Arata and Tatsuya have been well acquainted but Tatsuya is kinda annoyed with the high horse that Arata places upon himself. They happen to run into each other on Vivid Street. EVER in this ended up disbanding as the other members of the group found passion in other different hobbies that differ from street singing. Tatsuya, however, still wants to pursue this dream so he carries the mantle of EVER on himself. Due to the influence that his senior has on him, he doesn’t want to give up. Arata when being told this, thinks back to what happened with Gurney Flap and Souma. Before they part ways, Arata commends Tatsuya for still going strong.

As for how Souma meets the two, he heard about them from Arata and asked Arata if ever they could help him in surpassing the legendary night. Arata doesn’t take kindly to the idea at first which makes Souma feel dejected but he wouldn’t want to force Arata into it.

Cutting back to Kotaro, at the livehouse where he occasionally works at, he bumps into Tatsuya. He asks Kotaro if the event will still push through since there was pretty much no one there. Kotaro claims it was cancelled. The two chat for a while.

And they somehow get in the SEKAI through the untitled song.

I like to think that their SEKAI would be a Museum of some kind with graffiti on the walls. All the artifacts would be like showing things from the past and how they managed to grow from there. They each have their own sections in the Museum. All of the artifacts in Arata’s section are destroyed btw ^^

Anyways, Souma gets in the SEKAI (cause i like to believe that it’s primarily his SEKAI) and that’s when he gets the idea to form the group.

Arasouma probably get a divorce esque fight (that or Arata and Tatsuya), Kotaro’s self worth is definitely going to play a huge part in it and the rest is history.

Some random fun facts:

-> Vivids are still a duo but BAD DOGS are not. Souma kind of encourages Toya to get into street music. Akito’s still alone and pretty much admires Kotaro’s growth (the same way Kotaro does in canon abt him). Tho the BAD DOGS might form a grp in the later events. Who knows?

-> While Souma doesn’t really perform with them, he’s still their leader in my mind, watching over them in the SEKAI. Also, if they were an in game group, Souma would probably have an alt of every commissioned song they do cause i love him. I like to believe he gets a lot of covers with Arata. Souma would also probably show up in the 2DMVs.

(Hopefully these are good…. and aren’t out of character or confusing. It’s been a while since i pyschoanalyzed the vbs npcs….)

[some-name-in-progress]

Alright, it's been a week since I started trying to catch up with Project Sekai, and I've read 7 stories already since I've read one every day. This pace is okay, but I wanna catch up by 4th anni since it seems like everything is gonna be wrapped up then, so I'm probably gonna bump it up to 2 stories per day.

Anyways I wanted to put down my thoughts, starting with Connected Through SEKAI's Cherry Blossoms and ending with Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness.

Connected Through SEKAI's Cherry Blossoms:

Imma be real, this event was a slog to get through just because of how repetitive and slow it was. That being said, I liked how it gave us more insight about the Sekais, but that's about it.

On the Stage of Dazzling Light:

I remember that Tsukasa himself seemed to take somewhat of a backseat to the Phoenix Wonderland plot in his first focus, so I'm glad his backstory was fleshed out more here. I'm surprised Toya had that little screen time because I thought he was more important to Tsukasa’s backstory, but that's just fandom influence, I guess.

Live with Memories:

I'll be honest, I didn't have the fondest opinion of Ichika before this event, but this event really solidified why I dislike her character. In my opinion, she just doesn't feel like as fleshed out of a character compared to the rest Leo/need. For example, every other member has something that makes them unique and shines through their focus events, but Ichika feels like she's just characterized enough to not be a blank slate. Yes, I know that she's going to be like that because she's the "MC," but it just serves as a detriment to her character. Maybe she gets better, or maybe I don't get it, but I just don't like her for now. Also, that Miku V4 ad was WAY too obvious. I know the whole game is an ad, but at least it's subtle.

Tied By Painful Hope:

Hasegawa seems like a nice character, so I'm excited to see how she develops. I like that this event went also went more in-depth about Haruka's backstory. Overall, this event feels like a good stepping point for the future.

The Climax! Kamiyama Cheer Squad!:

I don't really have much to say about this event, but I'm glad that we get to see a lot of good interactions between the Kamiyama students. Also, Rui's characterization here feels really nice.

THE POWER OF UNITY:

I like that VBS' story is putting more emphasis on the NPCs and their interactions with the main cast because it definitely makes everything seem a lot more full. The foreshadowing here is foul, though. "Take a look at this town" is absolutely evil knowing what happens in rotation 4. Anyways, the event felt like a nice way to way to end their first arc.

Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness!:

It's nice to see An struggle outside of her relationship with Kohane, and it really shows just how much Vivid Street and the people around her mean to her. Also:

(Is this appropriate to say now that I'm an adult? Oh well, lol.)

Other thoughts:

I'm sorry, I'm looking at the PRSK cast, and I can't stop thinking of this video:

Like, do these guys eat sunscreen??? (This is a bit hypocritical for me to say as a Milgram fan, lol.)

Closing thoughts:

I've honestly been having a good time with this. Yes, it takes a while to get through (I'm dreading getting to the 2+ hour ones), and I didn't like Ichika's focus, but I'm love seeing why I fell in love with this game again. Anyways, I'll probably do this again next week, until then. Also, HOLY HELL THERE’S A MOVIE.

[tex-now]

writing a wedding is hard

fuccckkkk im gonna make this shit like. 5000 words hopefully. knowing my ass it's gonna end up being like 1.5k

soooo im doing it in chunks..... the first part is the afterward of the proposal where they're yknow. happy. cuddling. kissin. all that shit.

Second part SHOULD have been boring shit like budgeting but that's dull. so im gonna skip to picking out the date i think i can make that sappy.

FUCK, THE HONOR ATTENDANTS

listen there arent' enough characters for that shit. im doing it any way

Best woman is nene and the maid of honor WOULD HAVE been emu but she wanted to be the flower girl so saki is the maid of honor. toyas the ring bearer. mizuki and shizuku are bridesmaids

then theres the guest list thats not even getting a section everyone is coming. it will be mentioned. oooh and rui's friends are coming too (the npcs) OOOH AND SEIRYUIN. AND BAKUNO. AND EMUS BROS.

mmmm the location. damn. probably a fucking. garden?? like those super classy garden venues. no no no. a stage would be funny but i want this to be serious :(( OH MY FUCKING GOD THE WONDER STAGE. that's an idea. hard maybe.

the theme? (im reading a checklist of things for a wedding btw) i think black tie is too boring for them.. like rustic looks nice. nature inspired would make rui happy. nature-inspired it is.

like this

or this

blahblahblah save the date yada yada it will not have a section

MUSICIAN?? kanade, who else ( i originally picked nene becuase i forgot kanade existed. im so sorry)

dont gotta worry about the catering cause the venue they pick only has a few options and they choose those

the photographer could be kohane. but vbs singing :((( it's fine she can do both i believe in her.

rui takes over as the florist because of course he does. Saki offers to do hair (either that or honami gets her mom to do it)

I think mafuyu is the officiant. she seems like the type to randomly get approved as being able to officiate a wedding.

ahhh the clothing. i ended up drawing it instead of just looking up images since I knew none of them would be what i wanted

their clothes would probably be like this

and the color on the dress and pants is like this

oh and the boots would probably be brown i think. definitely a darker color of some sort. also i forgot to draw it but tsukasa has a straw hat i think.

oof the bachelor party. im thinking

rui: mizuki, nene, akito, an, mafuyu (because i said so)

Tsukasa: saki, emu, shizuku, toya, kanade, kohane (also because i said so)

i think finding a hotel COULD be interesting so i MIGHT write it (it will be mentioned at the very least i think)

AHHH THE WEDDING RINGS

ruikasa are both saps so they have rings in each other's colors

rui's is this one

and tsukasa's is this one

okay theres pretty much nothing else on the check list soooo

Extra Things:

tsukasa and rui did NOT do the whole "giving away the bride" thing. because i said so

they have custom vows but there is no way in hell im writing that. (im not talented enough)

they do the "dont see each other before the wedding" tradition and rui is soooo upset about it

oh btw this is an outline for the fic im writing as a sequel to @wederyed's fic "a proposal worthy of the stars partner." you should read it it's very good

[toyaneko]

yeah the npcs are the plot of vbs nowadays and it starts to bug me off; i hope they forcus on vbs more

bet the song is gonna be so hype (predictions for toya4 song?)

an definitely needs to smile more (waiting for another cute attribute an that is the redemption to the current an 4☆ cute attribute card on jp)

Hiii dropping this

HOLD UP?!?!? THEY HAPPY

Fallout Van Buren: The Basics

I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, and entirely too much Van Buren information floating around in my head, so I decided to make a post summarising the main details of the game Van Buren could have been for those who want to know more about it, but would rather not trawl through pages and pages of design documents.

First up, for those that may not know, Van Buren was the codename of what would have become Interplay’s Fallout 3, had it not been cancelled during development. All that has ever been released is a tech demo with glitches galore and no direct relation to the intended plotline, some concept art, and a bunch of incomplete design documents.

Please note that, as a lot of planned content was scrapped even before the game itself was, some artistic interpretation is necessary to make the storyline flow, so some parts of my summary are my own personal takes on stuff.

(Warning: this is pretty long. Also, be aware that the New Plague gets involved in Van Buren a lot more than it did in any published games, so proceed with caution if you’re trying to avoid that sort of thing)

Plot overview:

The player character would start the game, in full Bethesda style, as a prisoner in an NCR prison. Choosing the crimes that had led to their imprisonment, and whether they were innocent or guilty of them in reality, was likely going to be part of the character creation and skill selection process.

At the start of the game, the Prisoner would wake up one day in a new cell in the automated, robot-managed Tibbets Prison. This prison was under attack by a group of rogue NCR soldiers led by a very skilled, but also very evil, scientist called Victor Presper. Many of the robot guards were damaged and weakened by this attack, and in the confusion some prisoners, obviously including the player, would have escaped.

Once away from the prison, the Prisoner was free to explore the map looking for more information on this Victor Presper, and would most likely end up wandering from place to place and completing a bunch of side quests for people they met along the way, as most Fallout protagonists do. More info is given on some of the locations they might have travelled to below!

At some point, the Prisoner would become aware that a large robot was pursuing them. This robot was ARGOS, controlled by the AI running Tibbets (ODYSSEUS), and its mission was to retrieve and recapture the escaped prisoners. If ARGOS did capture the player at any point, it would return them to their cell. Their original, still-damaged cell, which they could immediately escape from again. Yeah, nice work, ARGOS and ODYSSEUS…

Over time, the player would start to notice that the NPCs in locations they were visiting were becoming ill, and many would die. Somehow (it’s never specified how), it would be revealed that Tibbets was not just any prison, but a quarantine prison, and that all inmates- the player character included- were carriers of the New Plague, and had been spreading it to every location they visited on their travels.

(Quick lore break here: if you’re unfamiliar with the New Plague, its Wiki page is here, and you can find previous posts of mine about it here and here. Warning for detailed descriptions of illness, blood, death mentions, and parallels with current circumstances in all of these links!)

From here, the Prisoner had to round up the other escaped prisoners and return them to the facility to prevent further outbreaks- either by convincing them to return by various means, killing them and dragging their bodies back, or alerting ARGOS to their locations. Along the way, clues would appear that Presper was behind the whole fiasco, and was still working at odds with the player’s aims (as one design doc succinctly puts it, ‘that bastard is up to something’).

The overall main aims of the Prisoner (well, a Good Karma one, at least) would be:

To stop Presper

To cure the New Plague

To establish trade routes between settlements, likely involving getting the old trains network and running again. Of course, if done too early in the game, this would speed up the spread of the Plague…

Eventually, the Prisoner would find and confront Presper in space, on board a pre-war ballistic orbital missile base (aptly named B.O.M.B.-001), which still contained live nuclear warheads and had been activated by ODYSSEUS once the New Plague started to spread again. Presper’s plan right from the start was to activate this orbital base, then use its missiles to ‘clean the slate’ of the wasteland, so to speak, then start over with his own vision of humanity. The ending would have involved the Prisoner either launching the warheads at settlements they’d visited during the game, or blowing up the satellite with themselves on board to spare the wasteland.

Locations:

Boulder Dome- a pre-war science facility in Boulder, Colorado. Has a lot of New Plague information, making it a very useful location for more scientific Prisoners to work on a cure. Also contains a handful of environmental suit-wearing scientists who spend their days completing maintenance tasks to keep the Dome in working order, waiting in decontamination tunnels, and usually being generally mistrustful of one another. Yes, this is definitely Fallout, not Among Us!

Burham Springs- a former mining town in Utah that has been permanently burning for years. Home to the Gehennas, who will make an appearance below

Denver or Dog Town- a city of dogs. Let me repeat myself, a city of dogs

Hoover Dam- was going to be a large settlement, nothing at all like the version in New Vegas

New Canaan- a town of Mormons on the Great Salt Lake, as mentioned in New Vegas. Wouldn’t have had much significance in the overarching Plague plot as far as I can tell, but it takes a more central role in my own tweaked OC storyline because I saw an opportunity to tie VB and NV together through its characters. This location was cut during development and replaced with a smaller settlement called Jericho, but the mentions of New Canaan and complete silence on Jericho in NV mean that the New Canaan information is generally considered to be ‘more canon’

The Nursery- a pre-war facility that’s essentially a contained nature reserve to the extreme. There are lush green trees, clean water, and pre-war animals here. Also, the famous Harold would have made an appearance

Reservation- formerly Los Alamos (a real-life nuclear testing facility). Now a ghoul settlement, and also intensely radioactive. Almost a combination of the Glow and Necropolis or Underworld

This was just a brief summary of my personal favourites, but there are many more locations too!

Some of my favourite pieces of concept art:

(All taken from the Fallout Wiki)

Boulder Dome!

Gehennas!

Hoover Dam!

Reservation entrance!

I feel like this post wasn’t the most coherent, so if I made no sense or you want to hear about the planned storyline, locations, and companions in more detail, I strongly recommend Retcon Raider’s series on YouTube!

You’re also very welcome to ask or chat to me about any aspect fsghgf! That said, there are some areas of the lore I know a lot about (namely, the main storyline, the Boulder Dome, New Canaan, and anything remotely tied in with the New Plague stuff), and others that I’m not as familiar with just yet, so I’m not exactly an ever-flowing fountain of VB knowledge lol.

[ashen-vulture]

RPG story time/Pictures

So I am a gamemaster for a pathfinder group that’s been my reliable RPG gang for years. I wanted to make this as like a small gallery of pictures I’ve drawn for my most recent game, titled Red Gold.

As per usual it’s a long one, so I’ll put the bulk of things under the cut:

It was a simple RPG starting point, everyone was bounty hunters in a prestigious organization called the Hall of Red Gold. They deal with prison escapes, grave robbers, train robbers, necromancers, dangerous animals/creatures, and all other sort of variety of unlawful or evilness.

The founders of the Hall of Red Gold, they had a large painting made of a much smaller photograph taken just before their last battle.

Their center organization is in one of the largest cities in the country (population over 1.5 million) called Mkali (top picture) specifically that’s an area called the Canal Promenade. The canal serves to water their fields, prevent disastrous flooding, and allow for steamboat traffic and it’s a huge and central fixture. It’s almost always filled with merchant cards and street performers, and the city itself is brightly painted.

Their first quest was to cull a pride of man-eating lions and collect the tails for bounty proof. Through their Lion encounters they ended up with multiple critical decapitations. So they cut off the heads, cut off the tails, and quickly solidified their name:

Heads and Tails

They’ve come so far since then. They’ve made NPC allies in their organization, several of whom traveled with the party until they started taking on quests that were just too dangerous for them.

Their first companions were a goblin bard who mostly went by his stage name: Corpsebeater, and a Alchemist Halfling half-fiend who was *mistakenly* rescued from a demon cult under the assumption that she was a 5 year old tiefling. Both of them wonderful companions now retired. Corpsebeater changed his bard name to Venomblood after surviving a dozen scopion stings. He retired from the group shortly after that, but continues to build percussive music to shout exploits to. And for Zippi, after her time experimenting on the party (and herself) she got accepted as an apprentice in a shop called The Basilisk’s Eye.

The way I did it is Red Gold has a number of NPCs who can be invited along, and I’ve made it fairly easy for characters to flow in and out of the party without changing the game up too much. When VB retired Zippi stuck around just long enough to nearly die (she was like 2-3 levels behind the party at that point) and the party had some downtime, enough downtime to get up to a Fun Side Non-Bounty Related Thing.

Performing in the COLOSSEUM OF COURAGE! A temple to a minotaur/cervine god of battle and martial prowess. It trains warriors and also hold grand events in the tradition of old colosseums as a way of generating money. And this temple is run by the Grand Paladin RHEMBOL IRONHIDE!

The number of PCs I expected to hit on Rhembol was 2 higher than the 0 I thought it would be I could not stop snickering to myself I make this big old banged up greyed minotaur but he’s just got so much personality that everyone loved him. And of course he was glad to have Red Gold Participate in THE GRAND MASTER’S MAZE RUN! (Sorry, he is inflicted with SPONTANEOUSLY PROJECTING STAGE VOICE! meaning when I think in his headspace sometimes YOU JUST GOTTA ALLCAPS IT!)

But there was one little condition. You see, Rhembol has four wonderful lovely daughters that he would give the world for, three of whom are mostly like him: charismatic, gregarious, boisterous, always up for a fight but not looking for conflict.

And then, there’s...

Chesvah Ironhide, his awkward, unsociable, perpetually on auto-pilot daughter. She doesn’t like the performative aspect of her father’s temple, never has, but has never known anything other than Be A Paladin/Performer. So Rhembol spoke with Red Gold and allowed their teams into the games if Red Gold agreed to hire his daughter.

She joined a group that had formed just to compete in the games with plans to dissolve afterwards- and boy did they.

The 6-person team she was a part of contained a lot of other NPCs the party could bring into Heads and Tails, but only one of them is relevant- that being Tulio. Tulio is a catfolk who is a crack shot with a rifle, but also a LOT of other problems. He was almost always some variant of high, and showed many concerning behaviors. Red Gold kept him around because of his skill...

But, when in a drugged stupor he opened friendly fire in the colosseum with a crowd of tens of thousands in the audience, Red Gold had had the last of it with him and he was kicked out.

The party picked Chesvah up shortly afterwards.

And they probably didn’t expect Tulio to ever come back.

And certainly for a while he didn’t. Things ramped up, the party had been tasked with wiping out a Lamashtan cult, their leader Jiyaki who was a very prolific murderer, and stopping them from whatever their mysterious and bloody Goal was.

Pictured above is not the cult leader, but a demon bound to her service by another caster, and perpetual game wildcard. A powerful concubus who goes by the name of Kel. Yes, the same two members of the party did hit on them, successfully (depending on your definition of success here). Kel repeatedly showed no interest in obeying their master’s wishes, especially if they got in the way of fun, but its soul-bound sword “Shiver” had a number of contingencies in place to ensure Kel’s behavior.

Around this time they also were contacted by a blue dragon. You see, the last time they were investigating this, they had been told it was bandits, not a cult they were after. It was an inside-attempt to throw potential bounty hunters off their trail.

When they investigated the city one of the things that stood out was that there had been a break-in at a greenhouse called the Greenbriar Reserve. Upon investigating, Heads and Tails comes to the discovery that the Greenbriar Reserve had a dragonsbane plant. Dragons have been known to raize entire cities or countrysides over even a HINT of dragonsbane, because it is one of the few things that challenge their supremacy, and this greenhouse in a massive, populous city just happened to have one. The owner of the reserve kept it secret- for obvious reasons- and didn’t even state the name of the plant or 100% confirm he had one to the party. Hints and innuendo and nothing more. But he did ask them to please keep looking for the snip of plant which was taken- and his missing daughter as well (Kel kidnapped her and many others to use their faces for infiltration)

And then a blue dragon arrived at Red Gold HQ. Hushand the Gardener.

It had been over a month and he wanted to know how they were doing at finding HIS dragonsbane plant.

Because you see, he was working on a cure.

More and more things pile up on this city, culminating in a huge battle.

Someone pulled many strings to create what could have been (and honestly still was) a disastrous chain of events which involved red dragons attacking the city, Hushand the Gardener coming to the city’s defense. And there being two active shooters in the crowd with dragonbane poisoned weapons.

And one of those shooters was

Tulio swift, former Red Gold member, suspected veteran of the 27 year long surriedan civil war, habitual drinker and drug user and over all fringe NPC to the game. 

In the heat of battle one of the PCs killed Tulio- but with the intent of getting him raised afterwards, to interesting effects.

Meanwhile under the cover of the military battles above, the party begins fighting the demon cult in the secret vaults below the city. Down below in the vaults where they had learned a lamashtan Artifact lies which turns sacrificed souls into conduits for summoning powerful demons.

And I’ll continue this when I get back from a walk. I’ve got more to add, but this has gotten long enough as it is.
