Agon (DEFUNCT)

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.

Three.

[probably not a three]

Good morning.

I'm here to see if I can win our bet.

[lights up a cigarillo]

I happened to run into a lovely woman yesterday morning. Pleasantly voluptuous and even more enjoyable to talk to. It was a delightful encounter with a promise of more physical pleasures to come before I learned she was the roommate of a person I knew from home.

[he pauses and shrugs]

The man she's with right now is the head of our family back home -- for me at least. He doesn't remember it here, thus he doesn't remember the time we worked together to get him there. He also doesn't remember that we have had sex numerous times, and I will not be telling him.

Anyway, after learning who she was, she and I ended up making out on their kitchen counter, which is where the man found us and watched while they talked because I refused to stop for him or relocate from where we were. We eventually convinced him to join in with us, making it a very nice menage a trois ending with us tangled together in their bed.

[considers again and shrugs]

Did you want details?
goldntriggers: (making smug sexy since birth)

[personal profile] goldntriggers 2012-05-17 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Details are worth more than the act, I think. Still interested?
goldntriggers: (kill it)

I'm glad to hear it. [considers] Can you do a card table? Octagonal?
goldntriggers: (what?)

Is that something that the pieces of an animal... hands, heart, eyes... and such would be worth?
goldntriggers: (i wonder if they have pasta)

Hm... hunting's not really a pleasure of mine as useful and necessary as it undoubtedly is here. What kind of plans are you interested in?
goldntriggers: (leaning that way)

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[personal profile] goldntriggers 2012-05-20 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[considering]

This place lacks an establishment where drinking, gaming, and... relaxing can be enjoyed. There's room to change that, I think.
goldntriggers: (smoke and shadows)

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[personal profile] goldntriggers 2012-05-21 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
At least I hope so. If I have to rely on my hunting alone for survival here, I may as well just save myself the struggle.

... Plans for a gaming establishment then... working bar and lounge area, featuring billiards, darts, poker, blackjack. Gambling is a priority but not a necessity. Would something like that work for you?
