Fate Lady (name to come)
(Just pretend it's a woman)
The Past
Mother was a princess, conceived a child with a god when she was forbidden to have any suitor, the princess didn’t know how she became with child, the mother was banished. She had practised in the ways of magic, which is what, along with her beauty, brought her to the attention of the powerful god who bedded her. She came to a village where a kind old woman took her in and the daughter/fate lady was born. The mother started to study and use her magic to help the villages with their requests, she traded with people for money at first to buy her own property, and then traded her skills for necessity’s and made a small farm. But though the people of the village were happy to have their illness’s cured and other things they began to fear the village witch when the old woman who once took them in died in a mysterious way. They feared the power of the witch and no longer treated her kindly, and only came to get what they wanted from her, and so when the fate lady was born all she knew was the love of her mother and the discrimination of the town’s people towards them.
She studied magic just the same as her mother and had a very natural talent for it (her father being a god and all) but she wasn’t very attracted to it as she knew it was what made the villages hate her and her mother yet it was the only thing they were worth. To avoid the harsh and cold villages she had many secluded places where she would spend her free time, enjoying nature, the forests and the animals surrounding.
There was however one person in the whole village who didn’t look at her strangely, who didn’t treat her any differently, who saw her as just the same as everyone else and held only kindness in his eyes. As a child he was very quiet, and as he grew older that gentleness and shyness about him didn’t change. He was the son of a woodcutter and seamstress, and when he wasn’t helping his family he was helping the other villages and was very much loved by all.
One day when the daughter went out, she was in her mid to late teens now, she found a bundle of neatly picked and beautiful flowers lying under a tree she often came to in one of her secret places. She went to a different place the next day and found more flowers, beautiful again with different colours. The third day she would get up early and travel to many of her favourite places to go looking for which one might have flowers again but found non. She eventually returned to the tree to rest when she saw the boy who treated her no differently with a bundle of flowers in his hand. He smiled and she smiled back. She no longer spent her free time alone, meeting with him everyday, and he loved all the beautiful places she took him and together they basked in the nature around, having picnics and dearly treasuring each other’s company.
A time came when things were going very badly for the villages. The crops wouldn’t fruit, storms were killing their livestock and ruining several houses. The villages instantly blamed the witch and her daughter and as things became even more devastating for them they saw no other alternative but to burn the witch and her child. In one of their meetings the kind young man everyone loved was discussed, his relationship with the witch’s daughter common knowledge, and they decided that they would knock him unconscious and tell them that the witch and her child just left.
One night when the rains weren’t so heavy they decided that would be the time to strike. They found mother and daughter performing a spell together, using both their strength to try to change the weather and the land to better, but the villages believed it was for worse, and so apprehended them, tied them up and burnt them.
The young woman had died but her soul was harnessed by the god who had given life to her. He told her how he was her father, how he came down to earth one night and bedded her mother. She was the daughter of a god, though mortal and mostly human, but he gave her a choice regardless for a position he created just for her. She was to watch the worlds and it’s happenings, she could change and manipulate peoples fate and bring her judgement and revenge on all humans as she would see fit as the god had felt the life to her and her mother an ugly injustice. She wept for her mother and was happy to take her position, though with no thoughts of revenge but to find the boy/young man who only showed her kindness. She had her own domain in the clouds, and she searched and searched for days to find him. When he had awoken, the rains stopped, the lands once more beautiful and fertile and told the cursed witches had left he packed his things and journeyed to find the lady he loved, though deep down he might have already known what had happened.
The fate lady searched and searched through all her looking glasses and pools and the books that wrote themselves, but the days turned to months and months to years and she found him on no page nor anywhere she looked. Even if she did find him she could not leave this place and so spent her life in great sorrow and loneliness. She watched the earth turn with all it’s suns and moons. She watched the animals, trees and nature but it was not the same as being surrounded by it, the same as being on the earth.
Eventually people started coming to her, her name had been spread around to other gods and then to mortals. This was her occupation she remembered and she had to follow a few simple rules. To not upset the balance of fate, in order to avoid the unfortunate and bring something fortunate, they had to make something unfortunate elsewhere in their lives.
This was cruel and she found that little to no merit was gained from these dealings for these people. Once more she found herself blamed often for misfortune and every tale was a sad tale of sacrifice for love or hatred. To stop her sadness for other people she eventually learned to be apathetic.
Preceding up to and the Present
She had been in this position for many a year now when someone showed up who she found more interesting than most. The man had a vendetta, a long grudge and knew more about her father and his circle than she did, though she never told the man that the one he hated was her father. She did more dealings with him and was more lenient to his on and off half-hearted sacrifices, though the sacrifices were dear for him she allowed him to go back and forth, wondering where it might lead concerning him and her father.
She also found herself attracted to the man this man spent his days with, something about him sparked a greater interest in her. He is the first man her loneliness has reached out to with the desire to share company.
Though she performs her services with a smile and acts sadistically so that she may enjoy a sad life she feels little to no happiness or sadness with the coating apathy around her heart. She is not fate but a tool, an instrument even, her only control being her judgement over what is of equal with the fortunate and unfortunate and choosing which or all options to offer, but it is always up to the client to decide whether to take the deal or leave it.
She is apathetic towards her father and his ways and only mildly curious, and now with the somewhat complicated and work around but legitimate dealings with the controlling Kuja she meets Vere and by their sacrifices she is able to for the first time since she became the fate lady, step out of her realm.
As per the dealings with Kuja’s desire she has the brainwashed and empowered Vere as a knight beside her to bring down her father. However she has no desire for a battle, nor for her father’s death and hopes that a simple chat with her father, measuring up equations, perhaps he can intervene and make more fortunate than unfortunate as there is little to nothing left to be sacrificed by the pair who have been reduced to virtually nothing.
The Future
Vere is the reincarnation of the man she loved.
When the kind young man searched for his love, somewhere in him he knew that she was already dead, but still he hoped and tried to ignore the thought, and when the reality caught up on him and the depression kicked in and he could no longer hold his head up, he collapsed and died from exhaustion… and a broken heart.
The Terms and Conditions (Rules and Deals)
- Certain unfortunates can be avoided by bringing about a different unfortunate with equal value.
- Wishes can be granted given and measured with sacrifice (i.e ones greatest desire for ones greatest treasure).
- Things along the lines of the above
- Fate Lady is the ultimate arbitrator on the decision of price
Kuja’s first deal with the fate lady was for godly powers. His greatest treasure was all his memories of his late wife Desora. This made him have a much colder and cruller personality. However with his curiosity and trickery he managed to find out the manner of his sacrifice and establish bits and pieces, along with her name. With Vere’s love Vere trudges deep to pierce the ice around Kuja’s heart and something breaks, the vial with his memories fall and return, his godliness and immortality revoked. The guilt hits hard, an old personality returning to dominate, and hating himself he kills himself.
Kuja’s second deal is to return to the world. In death he got to pay a lovely visit to Drucilla’s Odd Man’s Land and would have been happy to have stayed but Vere’s life was in trouble. In a hasty manner he makes a deal with the Fate Lady, saying anything, just make the deal for surely giving up anything he had would be worth saving Vere’s life. He is returned to life, and even greater he has his godly powers and later finds out his sacrifice, by witnessing it, Desora returned to the world, with her own godly powers, her mind wiped and filled with nothing but the desire and thirst for blood and destruction.
Kuja’s third deal… (In short this one’s not really a pen and paper deal but Kuja gets Vere to meet the Fate Lady to sacrifice things for him) In long Kuja has two alternate personalities now. His guilt ridden and remorseful side stands out stronger one day and he wants to make things right and die. He kills himself again, and the fate lady seizes the opportunity to have her way with Vere by making Kuja sacrifice more. Kuja wants Desora alive, happy, well and in her right mind along with some sadism upon the gods he hates and Vere’s happiness. Vere wants Kuja alive and happy. Fate lady wants Vere to spend her days with. Kuja was in a delicate state and the fate lady played upon it, offering him ways to get his wants and all he had to do, as it was the only thing (though not small) he had left to offer, was to get Vere to her. Both of them knew Vere would sacrifice anything and everything for Kuja’s happiness (except his family =p), and eventually Kuja gave in, throwing all his care away and hoping to vanish out of existence. Kuja believed that Vere was to only sacrifice himself for Kuja’s happiness/desires, but Fate Lady holds on to his soul so that Vere may barter for more if possible, more for Kuja’s actual life. Kuja is also aware that the fate lady wants Vere as a companion and believes that Vere will be much happier with her than he ever was or could have been with him.
Vere’s first deal is for Kuja’s happiness. Fate Lady believes that Vere’s greatest desire is for Kuja’s happiness so Vere would have to give up his greatest treasure. But for his happiness Kuja must be alive to see the gifts. To achieve his goals Fate Lady makes a temporary brainwash over Vere, filling him with nothing but Kuja’s vendetta, he becomes an empowered puppet for her bidding and making herself a part of the deal, to face the gods with Vere, she is able to leave her domain.
Vere’s second & third deal (future deals that I’m pre-empting) Fate Lady will decide on permanently taking some of Vere’s morals and virtues, the guides he sticks so strongly by and probably his greatest treasures next to Kuja. It is very harsh and sad for all of them as Vere will be a different person. His loyalty, his courage, his upholding and belief of decency, justice and fairness… which or all? His sword skills, I don’t know what to do… whatever it is I don’t want to make it permanent. OH NO. I think I have it as Vere gives his life to her and binds himself to stay with her in her domain forever, or however long she wants for Kuja’s life. And in order to get out of that he’ll have to give up one or some of his beliefs, virtues, morals, skills, etc. But when he finds out who she really is and who he once was, will he want to? Dun Dun DUN.
Right no. Maybe he has to give up one of his important personality traits (just one) for Desora, being a part of his greatest desires as it is a part of Kuja’s happiness.
Hopefully they’ll (I’ll) figure it out. My brain’s tired.
