Agon
Games, Charisma, Alloys

❧ Played by Allyson

Appearance: Agon takes the form of a human male, who appears to be in his late 40s or early 50s. He's slightly taller than average and well-defined, but not excessively so. His hair is kept short and slightly slicked back, more grey than black. Agon also has a strong chin and could either be called ruggedly handsome or craggy, depending on your perspective. Dark suits are his dress of choice, and he always looks like a class act.

Characteristics: Magnificent bastard, amoral, charming, smooth talker, sharp dressed man, player, intensely focused, mastermind

Likes: Games of all types, coins, knives, older model cars, jewelry, gambling, bets, amorality, evidence of planning, manipulation, charm, winning, cheating

Dislikes: Refusal to play, losing, unsociable individuals, enforcement of moral standards, lack of class, lack of foresight/planning ahead

Shrine: A stainless steel pillar, about three feet in height. There is a slight indent at the top, perfectly shaped to roll dice in without them falling off the side. Placed at the center of the top of the pillar are two dice, both black with white pips.

Ritual: Blow on the dice and roll them, to catch Agon's attention.

But you offer metal of some kinds, right? I'll either need a metal back and then have to get the glass from Dellen or maybe you can get something super shiny for me that will act as a mirror.

I could do either.

The metal mirror, how much will that cost me?

Make me an offer.

My starting offer is my name.

[ flippant! But she's watching him carefully as well ]

Is this supposed to be charming behavior?

No way. But who starts bidding high?

You may be surprised.

Well, I don't. If you want me to make a better offer you'll have to outright say it too. I don't give without being made to.

[ shrugs elegantly ] I reject your first offer. You may make another.

It says you take acts of immortality and plans too. Does extortion count? Hm, it might be more like control through intimidation though. Either way.

Extortion could count for either or both, depending on the situation.

Humiliating someone and then gaining an IOU from them to cash in at any time I want for whatever I want.

I'll take it.

Then I'm cashing in the action now.

[ nods ] It's a deal.

[ tosses her a compact mirror ]

[ catches ]

Thanks. It was nice to meet you, Agon.
