Some memories locked.

After some rough years in the gang Serotonin, the renamed ‘Bishop’ was offered a new opportunity— a chance to start again. Picked up off the streets by a rich satyr named Worvlum Auburndale, Bishop was taken into his family as the hired bodyguard for his daughter, Sapharius. The two… didn’t get along well for quite some time. Finding the little princess to be a thorn in her side, and her perfect family a mocking reminder of the familial love she had lost, Bishop often thought of running away. But a hope for something better kept her in place long enough to allow for something to grow.

Though it wasn’t the same as what she had before, Bishop found a place in the family. For one, she wasn’t the only new arrival. The same year that Bishop was taken in, the family was left with another adopted daughter— a human with strange magic from a young age. She was named Seriah, and she took a very swift liking to Bishop— seeing her more as her older sister than Saphy, who actually took care of her like one. Though the concept of being a sister was completely foreign to her, Bishop found herself liking the attention and slowly loving the role as well.

Despite Saphy’s mother— Dansnari —remaining cold and distant, Bishop found that with the help of Worvlum and Saphy that she was needed and loved again. Unable to push away the affection she’d been desiring for years in her mother’s absence, Bishop was finally allowed to heal. She spent seven years growing and improving herself with the Auburndales— and though the memories grew hazy, the feelings and relationships she made with them were swift to return to her. No matter the distance or time between them, the Auburndales saved her, and Bishop remains ever in their debt.

But all good things come to an end. After an uproar in strange occurrences in chips implanted in people’s brains, and a rampant AI becoming sentient, the world fell apart. The apocalypse remains a blur for not only Bishop, but those she woke up with after the collapse. Three years, no memories. All they had was a clipboard with a name, and each other.

This is where the campaign started, and the party struggled together to remember themselves and survive in an underground facility. Joined together by a desire to survive, the group was kidnapped and taken into a sanctuary known as The Rift. With no ideas of how to escape or the state of the outside world, they depended on the residents there to aid them in their understanding. People such as this are very vulnerable, and soon Bishop and one of her companions, Echo, began to see the cracks in a very manipulative leader’s dictatorship.

With many failed break-ins and weeks of playing along with their comfy society, the party eventually pushed too far in trying to find the truth. The facility they breached exposed the leader— Sandar, Saphy’s long lost brother —and his efforts to contain people’s memories and identities. His intentions didn’t stop with the civilians, and upon learning his true colors, Saphy was forced to turn against her kin to save her friends from captivity. Traumatized and chased, the party managed to escape the Rift and return to the surface.

Design

One thing Bishop has learned to be truly confident in is her appearance. Despite losing her right leg in an… accident, Bishop carries herself with the knowledge that she is a treat to behold. Standing at six feet, Bishop holds herself as though she’s always a bit taller and scarier than those around her. She is a lithe individual, lacking in muscles but making up for it with sharper features. Her horns are made of metal (clearly prosthetics), and they glow with the same light as the tattoos that trail along her arms. These circuits change color depending on her emotions, exposing her when she’s flustered— when her lashing tail doesn’t give her away. Her tail is very expressive, and though it’s hard to trace where she’s looking, Bishop’s emotions are usually plastered very clearly on her face. When around her friends, her voice and features are swift to soften compared to her usual, defensive glares. Bishop is known for her charming smirk and loud body language. Her hair is buzzed close on the sides, but the curly part falls over one side of her face often— the new orange streaks complimenting her solid gold eyes. When working, she can be seen wearing her bold new goggles.

In terms of fashion, Bishop is often seen in punk or grunge looks. Knowing she lacks physical prowess, she is often seen in outfits she finds ‘cool’ or ‘intimidating’. Her main outfit is highlighted by her new red leather jacket with a lion on the back. Spikes, leather and an excess of belts are her jigs. She loves to come off as tough in any way she can, and for now her taste remains with that as her main interest— big jackets, heavy boots and sharp edges. She also highlights her waist and torso by leaving them exposed with croptops if she can! She has many outfits to choose from in her gallery as of late, and as the campaign goes on I hope to showcase her arc through her style choices, but if you have an outfit idea that isn’t in her references I ADORE seeing her in new outfits! Go crazy!!

Trivia

• Bishop has two robot pets, Tango and Beetle. She made Beetle with Saphy, making him their child and the token that marked them finally becoming friends. Tango belonged to Moxie's mom, Leora, and was passed onto Moxie/Bishop in her absence. She loves them both dearly, and talks to them often while she works.
• The metal horns are present to cover the loss of Bishop's organic horns.
• Bishop has been called a pro-gamer in session, and is one. She is a hacker at heart, and loves not only videogames but games of all kinds. Ranging from tricky puzzles like rubix cubes, to legos that give her room to create, Bishop finds games like these very engaging.
• This being said, Bishop fidgets a lot. She cannot keep her hands to herself, and often touches others or reaches into their personal space. She is very engaging and up close and personal. This can make her very flirtatious or very intimidating, depending on the circumstances.
• Her ears twitch often, flicking to acknowledge her name or sinking when she's sad. Much akin, her tail wags mercilessly when she's happy, and has a mind of it's own when it comes to wrapping around people or snatching items for later.
• Bishop is a walking mood ring. Her tattoos tell her emotions, but she also has a ring that tells her feelings to Saphy. She still thinks she can hide her feelings though,, Pathetic.
• Under her sharp edges and loud words, Bishop is a very big softie. This isn't a super well-hidden truth in the party whatsoever, but she likes to pretend it is. She's also made almost all of them presents and cried like a baby to their faces. Real tough, that one.
• Though Bishop is very creatively inclined, she cannot for the life of her cook or play instruments. She admires Saphy's ability to do both.
• Bishop has never learned to drive a real car or bike, but still drove Saphy and herself around for years. Instead, she adapted her own version of her motorcycle, and learned to drive that way. She took out what she thought was stupid and replaced it, so no one will ever understand or be able to steal her magical vehicles because they are not traditional in their function.
• She loves her hair being pet or messed with, and melts very easily under tender touches.
• She is a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.
• She has a tendency to love bite.

• Hacking: From modding games to extracting sensitive information from high security databases, Bishop is a pro at tapping into electronics. Though her friend's aid always gives her the extra edge, Bishop is proud of her skills and their usefulness to the party.
• Crafting: One of the things that defines Bishop as an artificer is her dedication to her craft. Endlessly flowing with new and likely destructive ideas, Bishop has a keen interest in combat-inclined builds just as much as she does presents. Her mech suit is an ever-adapting project of her's, and both her companions are built and repaired by her refined skills with tools.
• Support & Defense: Bishop prioritizes the safety of others above herself whenever combat may arise. Though she has adapted a suit to better protect herself, many of the spells she has taught herself are to aid her friends and support them. Not being the most stealthy or damage dealing, Bishop tends to throw herself in front of others with a flashy smirk, taunting enemies into hitting her instead— even when it costs her.
