RANK. Rank E AGE. 88 (appears 16ish) DOB. Mar 06 ETHNICITY. European mutt OCCUPATION. Casino owner, RESIDENCE. A suite in her casino cruise to nowhere. | [atrb=width,100] |
| [cs=2] Born to be a goddess of spring, Persephone grew up with flowers in her hair and at her feet. That changed when Hades abducted her to become his queen, causing Persephone to travel between the Underworld and Olympos, her time divided between her husband and her mother. ...This is where I work things out with anybody that ever applies to be Hades. She either went willingly or not, knew what eating the pomegranate seeds meant or not. She could've loved him from the start--because she likes the dark and broody ones--or she could've learned to later. In either case, she rather liked the idea of being a queen. She liked being the Queen of the Underworld, lady of her realm, a lot more than being a goddess of spring with flowers in her hair and at her feet. She raged when the Shining was lost, and she hasn't quite stopped raging since. There's nothing she wants more than her dominion back; she wants to reign again. She survived Persephone, outlived Proserpina, and she's lived a hundred and one lives as the maiden eternal, never quite aging to become a woman in any life. She's gotten tired of being young. She's also tired of being power-hungry, but that hunger can't be satiated. This lifetime, she's still queen of the underworld--albeit a very different one. Korë was born in the 1920's, and it was then that she secured power, befriending and/or terrorizing the bigwigs of the era with promises of youth and threats of old age. (Korë is not very subtle.) Decades ago, she dealt in drugs and homicide, but she's mostly lost interest in such ventures. She operates the ship Odyssey, which is usually anchored at port as a casino cruise to nowhere, neatly sidestepping the legalities of gambling in NYC by taking to the waters. At least half her revenue comes from Odyssey's gambling dens, but the other half comes from the private sale of life. Korë sells a few years at a time (any more exhausts her) for, well, a lot more than a face lift. She employs a small legion of entertainers and dealers. Some of them are her proper criminals or undercover agents, but quite a few of them are exactly what they seem. Korë hasn't bothered setting up new identities. She claims to be the same Korë de Winter from nearly a century ago, and whether people believe her is their own business. | |
