geralt of rivia | the hanged man | free cities

Character Name: Geralt of Rivia
Arcana: The Hanged Man
Faction: Free Cities

Chosen Herald: Koth of Festering Lands

Afflictions:
The most notable one I'm gonna play with is the whole amplified negative emotions thing, because it's time for Geralt to lose his chill. If you want to see what Geralt is like when his internal emotions start spilling out all over the place, now is your chance.

He will also definitely inadvertently have the affliction ability where he makes people experience their own deaths, so if you wanna feel what it's like to die without actually dying, let me know. He'll do his best to avoid people in the real world, so most of this will happen in the Horizon if he's trapped somewhere.

I would also love for him to have a reason to turn this ability on someone on purpose. It'll take some setting up to push him that way, but it can happen under the right circumstances.

What other Herald's influence are you interested in?:
Secrets and temptations please!! Would love to plot out some stuff he might say that he wouldn't want to, especially around close CR. Geralt doesn't have a lot of temptations, but he's already kinda prone to murder or general violence, so influencing him towards losing his temper or retaliating when he normally wouldn't would be the way to go.

Horizon plans:
So, Geralt will be going around the Horizon for reasons, which means he's primed for popping in and out of people's domains. And also landing in the bizarro land. I'm happy to have him trapped with a bunch of people and force him to interact while he's going through his shit instead of letting him hide away in solitude.

Also totally down for people to land in Geralt's. He's not going to be super happy about this since the interior of Kaer Morhen is normally locked.

What will visitors find in your domain?
Description here! tl;dr it's a snowy broken down fortress, there are spooky skeletons baked into it under the snow, and he has a large white wolf that constantly hangs around. For the event, his wolf is probably gonna appear more monstrous than it normally is, and its muzzle will be perma-stained red with a fresh kill. There's also some growing tree tentacles wrapping around certain parts of his domain. If you're not careful, it'll grab you.

For close CR, Geralt does have a trauma basement that only one person (Jaskier) has ever seen. I'm actually fine if less close CR pop into this, too, so long as we have some set development we wanna do! Basically it's just going to be a big deal to him, so I don't want to dilute it by having too many people glimpse it, but I'm all in if it'll lead to some major shifts in his relationship with certain people.

General plans:
Geralt's going to try (and fail) to isolate himself because that's how his life goes. He's gonna be kind of emotionally unstable and I'd love to have reasons for him to expand his CR pool or just. Have people glimpse a different vibe to him. The omens will raise some alarm bells, since you know, plain old war is one thing but old gods monster shit is another.
