Drowtales/Characters/Vel'Vloz'ress: Difference between revisions

The newest clan to rise to the Council of Nine. The Vloz'ress was originally a small nether cult under the leadership of Kiel's mother Ven'ndia, but after her death Sene'kha formed alliances with the Sharen that allowed the Vloz'ress to take the seat left vacant after the collapse of the Val'Dutanvir. Besides the Sharen, they are the only clan who identify themselves as Vels instead of Vals due to their association with demonic magic. Despite their Val status, the Vloz'ress are the least liked clan in Chel, and living conditions among most members are second only to living on the street. "Houses" within the clan are mostly defined as which nether summoner one serves under, and exactly who has the power among the summoners is constantly shifting.

 

* [[Army of Thieves and Whores]] (the Vloz'ress is the last stop for many of the most desperate people in Chel, and the life expectancy of their troops can be measured in ''weeks''.)

* [[Bedlam House]] (essentially what their fortress is)

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] (a prerequisite for anyone who wants to gain power in the clan)

* [[Evil Is Visceral]] (their fortress definitely seems to play off this)

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] (originally)

* [[Unwitting Pawn]] (it's stated several times that the Vloz are really nothing more than a pawn of the Sharen)

 

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]

* [[Blue and Orange Morality]] (Kharla is so crazy that regular morality just doesn't apply to her)

* [[The Caligula]] (despite her better aspects, she's still this trope through and through)

* [[Dark-Skinned Redhead]] (not naturally, since her hair was originally white)

* [[Fan Disservice]] (everything about her, pretty much, since she has a beautiful body that's shown off with low cut tops but is totally insane)

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]] (she loves plushies)

* [[Living Doll Collector]] (She's the page image.)

* [[Mask Power]] (sort of, since the mask was actually [[Squick|to keep her from chewing her own fingers]])

=== Kiel'ndia Vel'Vloz'ress ===

 

* [[Big No]] ({{spoiler|upon seeing Naal get stabbed}})

* [[Break the Cutie]]: She's undoubtedly gone through this, between watching her mother get turned into a puppet, whatever else she's seen in the Vloz'ress, {{spoiler|seeing her best friend taken over by her seed}} and {{spoiler|being poisoned}})

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] (her habit of talking to her "imaginary friend" who just happens to be in the same place as the reader is seen by the other characters as a symptom of madness)

*** Don't link to it. What part of leaving her alone don't you understand?

* [[The Chessmaster]] (one in training)

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]] (the "bad" is up for debate since she's one of the more decent Vloz'ress, but she certainly loved her mother and was devastated by what happened to her)

* [[Five Stages of Grief]] (immediately after {{spoiler|1=[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7134 Naal's horrific demise]}} she shows classic signs of stage 1, denial)

* [[Hostile Show Takeover]] (she's [https://twitter.com/#!/Drowtales taken over] the Drowtales [[Twitter]] account (<ref>the real reason is that it wasn't being used as often as the creators intended</ref>) and promptly demanded a tribute of princes, though she'd also accept princesses)

** She also has her own [https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kielndia/285470288214658 Facebook account] now.

* [[Kid Hero]] (played straight and then horribly deconstructed when {{spoiler|she almost gets killed by poisoning, has a nightmare where she gets a doll body and Larvova scolds her to emphasize how stupid it is to try to do it all on her own}})

* [[The Ladette]] (despite being only 24, or physically 12 by human standards, she fits this among the other female characters in terms of personality)

* [[Loveable Sex Maniac]] ([[media:20100504c24p002_6794.jpg|"Princes, I tell you. Lots of them. Just. Waiting. For. Me!"]])

** It's also stated that one reason she likes Nau'kheol is that {{spoiler|1=[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7721 he reminds her of Naal].}}

* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]] (courtesy of Naal)

* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]

* [[Trauma Conga Line]] (chapter 27 has {{spoiler|Naal's death}} and then chapter 28 has {{spoiler|her break down because of Naal's death, then be poisoned and have a nightmare where her body has become a doll and only live because one of her rivals was forced to save her life by Kharla, and then she's reminded of her own mother when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids, and then break down ''again''}})

* [[Groin Attack]] (he tries this on Ariel, and when he finds [[Crotch Grab Sex Check|there's nothing to grab]] he figures out that she's female)

* [[Fail O'Suckyname]] (it's not known if it was intentional, but his name is a homophone for [[wikipedia:Merkin|Merkin]], a pubic wig)

* [[Jerkass]] (his first words are complaining that he doesn't want to be in a class with a bunch of "girly freaks" and he gets progressively more jerkish, attempting to kill Ariel and later attacking her when they're on the same team)

 

* [[The Chessmaster]]

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] (comes naturally with the Vloz'ress, but Sene'kha seemed to be especially good at it to not only get her position, but hold it for as long as she did)

* [[The Dog Bites Back]] ({{spoiler|Kiel refuses to help her escape and leaves her to be executed}})

* [[Manipulative Bastard]] (is heavily implied to have purposely arranged Kiel's mother's death, and a sidestory shows that she actually went ''looking'' for Kharla and found her in her insane state)

A nether summoner within the clan.

 

* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]] (what Kiel realizes {{spoiler|when she bursts in to kill Nyo'ka and sees her kids}}. See also [[Not So Different]].)

* [[Not So Different]] (Kiel realizes this when her children come out {{spoiler|after Kiel burst in to kill her}} and is reminded of her own mother)

* [[Snakes Are Sexy]] (she's seen with a snake wrapped around one of her arms a couple times)

* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]}} ({{spoiler|Kiel was poisoned in such a way that Kharla thought Larvova did it, but Kharla was smart enough to get Larvova to save Kiel instead. Because Nyo'ka's scourges show up to watch Kiel thought that Nyo'ka ordered it, but they were in fact acting on their own, hoping to turn Kharla against Larvova. It nearly cost Nyoka her life, so needless to say she wasn't pleased with them, and one of them gets killed for his troubles. Kiel later feeds his body to Demon!Naal}}.)

== Ven'ndia ==

=== Ven'ndia ===

 

* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]

* [[Punch Clock Villain]] (Kuso, at least, just joined to have some place to stay and work. Baliir on the other hand seems to genuinely believe in Sene'kha's cause)

 

* [[Punny Name]] ("Kuso" is a Japanese curse roughly equivalent to "damn" or "shit", and Kuso has quite the short fuse and foul mouth)

* [[Sir Swearsalot]] (Kuso)

* [[Those Two Guys]]

* [[Warrior Poet]] (Baliir)

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] (Baliir)

A former Sharen of Nishi'kanta's bloodline, now a Vloz'ress nether summoner. Her twin, Ni'ju, is now a demon that serves her.

 

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]] (like Nishi'kanta, though hers is obviously dyed since you can see her roots.)

* [[Defector From Decadence]] (she left the Sharen after the Nidraa'chal War)

* [[Noble Fugitive]] (as seen above, Ni'bai was a former Sharen Val. Why she left the Sharen after the Nidraa'chal War isn't ouright stated but its easy to infer that {{spoiler|she found out the truth behind the War and the attack on her grandmother}})

* [[Number Two]] (was evidently something like this to Sene'kha, {{spoiler|and uses her notes to continue the project to use Discordia as a summoning conduit after her death}})
