The current home of The Offset Parabolan and associates.
Ockham, The Offset Parabolan (any/all)
calling card | profile | tag | timeline
There's something odd about Ockham. Ockham seems cordial enough when you meet at a society soirée, or in the crowded lobby after a theatrical performance, even if Ockham seems to say very little. It's not until you get out into the crisp night air that you feel suddenly awake and refreshed, and the haziness of your encounter truly sets in. What were you talking about anyway? Did she say something important? Was it she? Or maybe it was he... you seemed to have known at the time. The longer you think on the encounter, the more nonsensical it seems. What did Ockham even look like? Your memory of him... them(?)... doesn't seem right, like trying to remember a dream... Perhaps it's best not to think about it too hard.
Non-Player characters:
Eleanor Roberts, The Twilit Entrepreneur (she/her)
profile | tag | timeline
She'd spent decades moulding herself into the model Imperial subject, the perfect, respectable English officer, the Commodore's golden boy—his favourite son—rejecting every element of herself that did not fit that ideal. Now that he's dead and she's out the Dawn Machine's hold, she's decided to live her life on her terms. Whilst no one could accuse her of being charismatic, her earnestness goes a long way. Not a woman lightly crossed when interacting in the professional sphere.
Robert "Robin" Jones, The Unassuming Confidante (he/him)
profile | tag | timeline
A diploma from Summerset hangs on his wall, dated from the 80s. A handful of letters of recommendation attest to decades of work history in London, though it’s difficult to parse exactly doing what. Some sort of solicitor? Is this what he does now…? The calling card, listing an address in the Upper River, certainly seems to say so. And he certainly seems friendly enough, a social butterfly, always taking an interest in what you want to talk about. Odd, that he doesn't seem to say much about himself.
Charlotte Pryce, The Relentless Pathfinder (she/her)
profile | tag
She'd heard rumours that life in London was different than on the surface. That the rules society are different. That one can live as they wish. After her husband's death, she took her kids to the Neath, with hopes for a future of simply more. More for all of them. And in London, she's determined to have it all, regardless of the cost.
Leslie Wells, The Cornish Koloman (they/he)
profile | tag
A surface time traveller from the year of... 1912. Their attempt to repair their father's broken machine and travel to the dates of his journals backfired, landing him in 1902 and in the Game's crosshairs. After the Coilheart Games, they were convinced to return to the Neath, changing allegiance and slowly continuing work on their time machine. He'll get it right this time, and solve the mystery that sent them down this path in the first place.
Tamara, The Light-Born Preservationist, (she/her)
profile | tag
A displaced Varchaasi, trying to make a life for herself in London. Formerly shared a townhouse with Ockham, now living with her business partner, Margaret. Her interest in painting and photography has landed her with London's less respectable crowd, involved in production of some of London's more scandalous images.
Margaret Hawes, The Enterprising Gossipmonger (she/her)
profile | tag
Formerly a Lady's Maid at the Shuttered Palace, a Rube Goldberg string of errors led to her accidental murderer of her boss, The Traitor Empress. Upon escaping New Newgate, she'd taken advantage of her new anti-monarchist contacts to try to pass herself off as a lady herself. Currently, she's working a grift honeytrapping rich society types and sending scandalising photos of them to the newspapers in exchange for a cut of the money they contribute to the Venderbight economy, alongside her photographer partner, Tamara.
Horace (any/all?)
tag
An exceptionally round and fluffy cat. Quite possibly a paid agent of the Game and staunch Liberationist. Quite possibly multiple identical cats answering to the same name who are never seen in the same place.
□□□□□, The Rubbery Barber Surgeon (he/him)
profile | tag
Trained in the style of the old masters, this butch squid will give you the best haircut and/or shapeling arts procedure you've ever seen. Happily engaged to The Tentacular Surgeoness.
Graham, The Geriatric Geodian (he/him)
profile | tag
Absolutely just the worst. Graham's been around for longer than the crystals of Grand Geode. He's not even dawnpilled, just respects a fellow hater.
Inez, The Serendipitous Prodigy (she/he)
An engineer in the New Sequence with a talent for uncovering people's deepest secrets, she never seems to realise that any of this classified or protected information is not common.
Henri Reynard, The Alienated Alienist (he/him)
An Upper River alienist and licentiate, with an undeserved reputation as a gothic horror character. He cannot understand how he keeps getting on the wrong foot with so many people.
David Campbell, The Soft-hearted Vicar (he/him)
The former head of a minor Anglican church in London, contented leading his small flock. Now a drownie lurking near Mutton Island.

thinking about Emory's (and Nora's and Khasar's) base-camp. if a stranger walks into the surrounding forest, they'll get continuously turned around and led back out. if they persist in trying to get through for some reason, the terrain will become hostile (and gods help them if they attract the attention of Khasar or the Parabolan panther). but if Emory likes them, whichever path they pick will be correct.
Wells' father travelled far and wide, across not only space but also it seems time. But it was in the midst of the Carpathian Mountains that his horse stumbles, a warped nail come loose from the horse's shoe. An emergency stop was necessary to the nearest village's farrier...
As the farrier removed the shoe, Wells' father. first laid eyes on the farrier's daughter, who had been studying him with equal interest. Glances soon turned to conversation, words shared under the blanket of stars, long after everyone else had gone to bed, and before the first rays of sunlight the pair knew what they must do--as the sun rose and the village stirred to life, the pair took off westward, into the plains. They would elope at the next village, then gallop into their future together.
The couple would ultimately settle in Vienna. Their mother had no formal training, but had a way with machinery and construction and soon took up work repairing sewing machines. Their father, with his knack for languages, soon found himself a translator in the Kaiser's court. The pair lived happily--more so with the birth of their child. All was a dream, until their mother's premature death, her bones remain in a Vienna cemetery.
Leslie doesn't know whether his father is still alive (how couldn't he be), or where his bones are, but all signs point to somewhere in the Neath, they just have to look harder, and follow the trail left for him.

Today's fucked up FLondon lore reminder is about Station III, which exists to harvest the balls of metal produced by taking a tonic that professes to heal your heart of ache, hardening around the thing. The heartmetal is then extracted post-mortem and if it's trapped a tale of love it's exported to the Masters.

With Your Father’s name canonically being Elias, the funniest possible ending to a SSea player trying to complete Your Father’s Bones is to zail all over the Neath only to find at the very end that Your Father has no bones to recover, her name is Eleanor, and she’s been avoiding you and everyone else.
realized i never posted any art ive done of my fallen london character so everyone say hi to that doctor, a totally normal doctor who is in no way incredibly ominous and off-putting
I have been so utterly not alive lately and will therefore be forcing myself to finally finish the Wells family story post tomorrow between appointments.
