Hy and Natalya's Intro
Hello everyone, my name is Hy and my character is Natalya, a human fight promoter. She's been involved with combat sports in that capacity for nearly a decade now, it's what she's passionate about. If she could be anyone anywhere, she would have been a wealthy lanista in Ancient Rome, a manager of gladiators. Revolve might just be her dream come true, hah. She's withholding judgment until she's seen it for herself. Her plan is to buy a promising mutant at a low price (IE one of Fischer's newest acquisitions, someone who has the kind of powers that will keep them alive) and turn it into a top fighter. That's how she'll end up buying Ava, which I think is totally hilarious. It'll be a rocky road for both of them, I'm sure.
Natalya is a very competitive woman. She's one of those people who wants to have the best of everything and likes to show it off, but she isn't completely gaudy. She prefers to work for the things she has, which is part of the reason why she isn't just swooping in and buying one of the top fighters. In her mind, it isn't a status symbol if it doesn't have her touch on it. She's business minded, so she'll view the other humans from that perspective: the bored socialites and gamblers are her audience, other owners are competition. They won't necessarily realize that, since she's pretty polite and keeps her motives close to the vest. ;) It could be fun to develop that kind of back-and-forth with some of the other owners, though, competition that's all very friendly on the surface.
Though Natalya isn't without her virtues, she's a pretty ugly person on the inside. Her grandfather is a mobster and her father wasn't much better. She's married to a man who made his fortune at the expense of his own people. The difference between Natalya and some of the uber rich is that she fully admits she lives on the top at the expense of other people. She doesn't necessarily think that mutants should be enslaved or locked up, but she doesn't have a problem with the fact that these mutants are and she's happy to take advantage of their misfortune.
On Saturday June 20th (today) Natalya will be viewing demonstrations by some of the new Blue Block mutants. If your character has arrived on the island within the last month and has powers that would be remotely useful in combat, she probably asked to see a demonstration of their powers. I already know that she's going to buy Ava, but you can mention in other posts and such that your character did a demonstration or even write a narrative about it if you want :) I'm going to be kind of busy this weekend, but if you don't mind a delay, we can even do a thread.
The easiest (fastest?) way to reach me is through e-mail, the address is summerhyacinth@gmail.com . I'll be on AIM (spire lily) for the group chats on Mondays, I'm usually on Sunday and can log in if asked (like, to meet up for a conversation or whatever), I'm just not normally on AIM unless I have a reason to be.
