Jo Harvelle | Strength | Free Cities

Character Name: Jo Harvelle
Arcana: Strength
Faction: Free Cities

Chosen Herald: Sannleikr of Many Faces

Afflictions:
→ I'm going all in on all the affinities for Jo's first massive messes up everything plot event. I'm not settling on who would fit in as enemies or someone she fears, BUT I'm half tempted to make her see everyone as monsters. Which would go very, very badly (Also, once she's experienced her death, she's going to hear Hell Hounds growling from empty air near her off and on.)

→ Jo will be seeing her face distorted on reflective surfaces, and she'll be getting increasingly edgier as it doesn't stop, but no one around her says anything or seems to see anything wrong. Maybe you can start noticing she twitches around reflective objects, starts avoiding them, and freezes or mini-flinches at her reflection.

→ I am down to clown for this Affinity Ability. Want to forget your nearest and dearest while standing close to Jo? Or maybe you just touched her hand when she gave you something, and suddenly you can't remember anyone you came here with or why those people won't leave you alone. I'm absolutely here for her power making other characters feel isolated and lonely if you're looking for that! Let's make that happen.
What other Herald's influence are you interested in?:
I'm open to a whole lot of ideas. Jo is a character (and I'm a writer) who is incredibly down for taking your Negative CR and slinging it back just as hard, with no hurt feelings. If you're looking for a safe Neg CR space, let's talk. I'm interested in being trapped in pairs and groups. I'm incredibly up for Jo being affected by temptation, darker impulses, envy, jealousy, and pushed into confessing secrets, guilts, feelings, etc. . Mixing this all up in the horror, as well.

Horizon plans:
There are very general (waiting for the official post to firm up) plans about Jo having a vision of/living/experiencing her death. For someone else to get stuffed full of all the monsters & merciless killing seen through her eyes. Also, wedging in some Zombie fighting in here, of course! There are a few possible places she might drop into, but it's all brainstorming, and I'd love to hear your thoughts, too!

What will visitors find in your domain?
Jo & Dean's Domain (Harvelle's Roadhouse) falls squarely under Domains With Strong Connections vis a vie 'having a domain that's often inhabited by other Summoned, or that receives multiple regular visitors, including domains that are shared.' The Roadhouse has people constantly coming in and out. People are welcome there regularly but feel even more welcome to have characters suddenly dropped in for some spooktacular malfunctions.
The Haunting of The House: All the spooky supernatural stuff is now happening! The jukebox cranks itself to a bleeding noise level without warning. The bar bottles shatter on their own without being touched. A barrage of hunter voices suddenly whispers through from every direction, all over layered, all telling the stories of the worst horrors of what monsters have done. Occasional smells of sulfur or sudden cold spots. Creaking. Ectoplasm suddenly excreting from random places. Blood stains on the floor, or trails of it from the door into the back rooms. All haunted house schtick welcome here. As well as having it happen but then looks normal the next second.

The Haunted House Itself: It flickers randomly without warning from its fully formed perfect normal appearance to a) the smoking ruin of its canon end or b) becomes a combination of Dean & Jo’s not-there-for-it-but-still-carrying-it assumptions/nightmares of what being locked in the RH, while it was swarmed by demons, being burned down, all entailed. Ever wanted to be locked in a haunted house, surrounded by demons, getting burned down or blown up? Here's your chance.
General plans:
I'm so open and so excited about all of this; come at me!
