((Hello, AEgir! Recently, I've had occasion to speak to several members of the cabal about the facts in the case of Amaryllis Wicker ("Yomikaze" in-game) and her search for her brother, and my case has been taken under investigation by the company. Below will come the flavor text, but the TL:DR version is that I'm looking for four people to run through an IC progression of the Hell dungeons, discovering the events with Ammie as they happen. For the purposes of the roleplay, it's assumed IC that joining characters have never experienced the Hell dungeons (even if they're loaded down with Hell-flavored gear ^^), and that all included experiences will be through the lens of a "breaking new ground" type AEgir-sponsored expedition, using Ammie's knowledge and access to Hell to gather important information for the Illuminati.
Based on people's time constraints, we can do them one at a time, or do the first two together, or run through all three. In-game, we can integrate the scheduling to be based on the number of gateways AEgir's investigators have been able to discover. It should also be known that at the time of this post, Ammie is only QL7, so Hell Eternal will need four badasses if we do it right away. I'm workin' on it.
I've already spoken to Shay, Strigois, and Angelman about it, but anyone else who'd like to join in the RP would be great. I've even set aside some pax to pay the bodyguards for their services. I'm basically using this thread to collect the "story-so-far", so that everyone who wants to jump in is on the same page. Thanks for the help, and I hope it provides some great RP for you guys!))

Amaryllis Wicker is the younger sister of the brilliant demonologist Theodore Wicker. As a teenager, she assisted her brother in his research, and observed excitedly as he stumbled from one arcane text to another, unearthing the hidden history of Hell. In 1977, after a series of largely dismissed lectures at the London Museum of the Occult, Theodore left Ammie behind to travel the world in search of a way to reach across the dimensional borders. Shortly thereafter, he vanished from the public eye.
Inspired by her beloved brother's passion, and wishing to feel their connection again, Ammie studied the occult on her own, becoming a fervent student of hermetic magick, blood witchcraft, and the enochian language. Theodore's letters and phone calls came less and less frequently, and finally stopped alltogether. In 1987 she received a postcard from New England containing a strange and broken farewell. She set out to track him down, convinced that he was in danger. She followed his trail for weeks, but her memory of that time is clouded and broken. A haze of smoky images later, she woke in the spring of the year 2012, having not aged a day. She soon found that her body had been filled with Anima, and discovered not only how to use it to power her existing blood magicks, but how to control the elements as well.
Over the next few months, she acclimatized to the new world around her. One day, a mysterious woman named Bong Cha contacted her, and brought her to Seoul for training in the control of her new powers. After hearing her story, Bong Cha pointed her in the direction of Kingsmouth, to search for a reporter by the name of Bach.
Bach's research into Wicker's trail was far more extensive than Ammie's own, and with his help she managed to gather the history of Theodore's road to Hell, as well as clues into his motivations. The name "Saccarissa" was recurrent.
Ammie was convinced that she could perform the ritual to re-open the pathway Theodore had used to enter Hell, but she needed help. She needed protectors. And then, she met the members of AEgir. Some of them recognized the name, and agreed to take her on as a client for the investigation of the matter. After all - opportunities for information like this don't come along often.

((I'll be posting more entries as the RP rolls on. Please send me a letter in-game, add me as a friend, or contact me however. (in-game name again is "Yomikaze") Looking forward to it!))
