I. Rabbia e Tarantella | ENNIO MORRICONE

if he had a theme song, this would be it.


II.  I Will Kill Again | JARVIS COCKER

"And don't believe me

If I claim to be your friend

Cause given half the chance

I know that I will kill again

I will kill again."


III. Cold and Dark | UNRAVEL SOUNDTRACK (Frida Johansson, Henrik Oja)

for quiet moments.


IV. Wolf Like Me | TV ON THE RADIO

"Got a curse I cannot lift

Shines when the sunset shifts

When the moon is round and full

Gotta bust that box, gotta gut that fish

 

My mind's aflame

 

We could jet in a stolen car

But I bet we wouldn't get too far

Before the transformation takes

And blood lust tanks and

Crave gets slaked."


V. Dark Night of the Soul | DAVID LYNCH, DANGER MOUSE, & SPARKLEHORSE

"Dark dream world

All alone

Shadows movin'

Shadows have long gone by."


VI. Dark of the Sun (Main Theme) |  JACQUES LOUSSIER

I'll apologize for ripping so many of Atticus's themes from the Inglourious Basterds soundtrack once Quentin Tarantino apologizes for making me like his movies so much.

Hugging this character:  ....sure, I'm kind of curious to see how that would go down.
Kissing this character: ...uh ok, but like.. why would you want to *
Flirting with this character:  see above *
Fighting with this character:  Absolutely! Please check in with me via plurk or discord first so we can figure out how things should go down.

Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character:  As long as I get a heads-up in advance, sure.

* Atticus is largely uninterested in romantic entanglements, and so is not likely to be receptive to overtures from anyone.

** [OPT-OUT] **

As a Tevinter magister whose role in this game is largely one of a villain, there will be themes of violence, torture, death, and discrimination in his threads and arcs. Exposition will occasionally include references to these past actions as well. For this reason, I'd like to give people the opportunity to opt out of interacting with him in-game. Comments are screened!

OOC: Somniari Specialization

(NB: This page deals with Atticus's specialized talents as a somniari, which are a secret and not common knowledge to anyone. While Atticus hides these abilities, he is not secretive at all about his affinity for the Spirit school of magic.)

 

Atticus has devoted nearly all of his life to the study of the Fade and the perfection of his abilities as a somniari. As such, he has cultivated a number of specific talents that augment his natural ability to enter the Fade at will, and to manipulate the dreams of others. Cunning and adept at his specialization, Atticus's abilities can devastate his enemies' morale and perception of reality--or kill them outright in especially deadly cases.

Active Talents:

• Dreamshape;  Through will alone, Atticus is able to shape and alter the dreams of others in the Fade. 
• Sleeping Death;  Like the somniari assassins of old, Atticus is capable of killing a sleeper in their dreams. Their death in the Fade results in permanent death in the physical world.

Passive Talents:

• Lusacan's Favor;  Most somniari don't survive childhood, as they are beacons for demons. Enduring and resisting possession has granted Atticus a tremendous willpower bonus, making him naturally resistant to attacks meant to confuse, demoralize, or disorient. (Increased mental resistance.)

Sustained Talents:

• Dreamwalk; When this talent is active, Atticus is able to enter the Fade.
• The Watchman of Night. When dreamwalking, Atticus cloaks himself in the guise of the ancient High Priest of Lusacan; this guise gives him the shape of a masked man wearing a black dragonskull helm and black robes. It shrouds his identity.
