Daphne

Daphne




She started as my friend in the outpost. Soon I offered her a place to stay in my rooms when she had nowhere to stay. And not long after that we became lovers.

Daphne is the person I trust most in the world. Few know all my secrets. Melanthe my Mother is one. Daphne the other.

Both of us freewoman we try to keep our love for one another private. But it is deep and passionate as love can be.

A strong woman. She is also someone who is kind, caring and understanding. A woman born and brought up in Gor, she does not have the harshness of character about her many Goreans do. And yet she has the strength and versatility of a woman you should not mess with.

Daphne is my rock within this cruel world.

Family

Family (IC)

Melanthe Patria - Mother

Once I was her aide. But she adopted me and brought me into her family.

The strongest woman I know. Her enemies fear her. Her family, friends and associates respect her.

She saved me from being tricked into a collar and since then I have remained her loyal Lady in Waiting and then Daughter.

Despite our different personalities I came to love her as a daughter loves a Mother.

Sabine Patria - Sister

My brat sister. The psychopath. Once I hated her with all my being but now I have come to hold her with affection and respect. though I will never fully trust her.

Like Mother she is clever and can be cruel. Though she has not long experienced life as a forewoman and has a lot to learn about it.

I continue to try and grow our bond with one another.

Kaz Patria - Brother

My Bro. He has a sweet nature. Always it seems wanting to please my Mother and Sister he does not have the same darkness that they have within them. Like with Sabine I am trying to grow the bond between us and of the three of us I think he and I are most alike but I know his devotion will always come to our sister first, Mother second and myself third.

But I love my bro.

Callista Patria's Guards

Callista has six guards she can call upon in total. Two from House Patria. Two from Genesian Port in her role as Ambassador and  Two she has hired herself. She rarely has more than two with her at any time

Sisko (Patria)
Sisko is a giant Schendi man. Towering over 7 and a half feet tall he is all muscle. Yet quick with it. Having spent a good fifteen years as a scarlet he is a skilled and trained warrior and very loyal. Paid by her Mothers house, he has become very attached to Callista having spent a lot of time with her. Perhaps even secretly loves her. though cannot act on this as a wound early in his career left him castrated.

Dax (Patria)
Dax is an older man in his late 50’s physically. Could be any age in Gor. But is seems he is older in soul as well as body. Still in decent physical condition despite his white hair and beard he has a sharp eye and tacticians mind. Perhaps once a leader of men settling into a simpler life as a guard.

Miles (Genesian)
Good, solid and stout. Never been a Scarlet in the full sense. From humble peasant background and learnt well. He is not as skilled as a trained scarlet but loyal and stoic.

Jake (Genesian)
Like Miles a good solid guard from humble stock and without the training of the scarlet. He is a young man, barely out of his teens. Full of energy and a little excitable at times but learning from Miles calmer example.

Bashir (Personal)
Strong Taharan warrior. Handsome looks. A man who gets things done. Fairly humble but has a brilliant mind. Though a humble guard he also has military experience as well as experience as a Green.

Worf (Personal)

What do you get when you cross a Schendi man with a Torvie. Well in this case not only a giant of a man. But a bull of one too. Huge in size and muscles upon muscles. He may not be fast. But when he hits people feel it.

Chrissy Sunflower's History

Current Life

After some years running her secret company she started to feel a little lost. She started to go out into the world without her guards. The company had the structure in place to run itself and she felt she was not needed. 

One day she came across a Schendi man and instantly found an attraction for him. Tired of all the responsibilities she had, she wanted a change in life. And after talking with him awhile and finding the attraction was mutual she found herself on her knees.

He threw her over his shoulder and took her home to Rockstock and collaring her named her Inkululeko which means freedom in Schendi. He a powerful man the son of a Schendi Ubar and Ubara but leading a simple life in the torvie village as a blacksmith.

So now she has a very different life to adjust to.

Background
Chris was a young man unfortunate to be an ideal candidate for an experiment.

Kidnapped from Earth and taken to Gor by shadowy unknowns who can only be agents of the Priest-Kings he was here for an experiment.


Using the advanced technology the Priest-Kings so secretly guard his mind was transferred into the body of a captive slave girl whilst hers was transferred into his.


He, or rather now she had her mind filled with the language and culture of Gor whilst never truly seeing those who captured her. She was then released into Gor with a little money and clothing.


Lost in this strange new world in a weak and delicate little female body she struggled to get by, and her life may soon about to take another drastic turn.

History

Before her current employment, Chrissy had travelled Gor all over, getting by on her wits. She has been to many places in Gor and picked up much. She taught herself how to survive in the wilds and being very apt at it, she would avoid civilisations, especially men fearing the collar, for her body was one many men greatly desired.

After awhile she joined the Torvie village of Ravenscar. She had no home there but they let her camp out. Ravenscar was a strange village, a village of many outlaws and she was taught how use the bow and the blade. She is competent in these. Though she would never last long in a fair fight against a Warrior.

After awhile she journey to Port Kar seeking answers to the what was done to her by the Priest-Kings. She heard there was a seer there that could help her. But he never showed. And before she could head home she was mugged. The money she needed for passage back stolen she was trapped in Kar.

She spent awhile homeless living in an abandoned building and stealing from the markets to survive. But the two twin sisters who ran the Inn offered for her to work there and she agreed. With a place to stay and eat with a regular wage she was happy. It turned out the sisters used the Inn as a base for their thieving operations and Chrissy who had already shown some aptitude alone learning to sneak and pickpocket picked up more skills in locking picking and other nefarious talents.

But soon she fell out with a few of the locals, one being the extremely corrupt and quick to anger Captain of the Guard.

She was forced to flee. Everything she had built up lost.

Winter was coming and she knew she would not be able to survive out in the wilds like she had in the Spring and Summer months. Nor could she travel to places like the Tahara and survive there. She was becoming desperate. Even considered doing what she had most feared. To survive accepting the collar. If only as a temporary contract to see her through Winter and earn some money from her time as a slave.

But then she met Melanthe who advised her such contracts could be a trick to something more permanent. And to Chrissy’s surprise she offered her the position as her handmaiden.

Not long after the Household moved to the Silk Road and the Street of Brands. And old decaying outpost where the House of Patria started to breath new life into its crumbling walls and streets.

Here the House started to flourish with new slaves joining. Traders coming to sell their wares. And as the House flourished so did Chrissy. Coming into her own running the administration of much of the household whilst Lady Melanthe concentrated more on the slaves.

It was here that she met Daphne who was soon employed in the local tavern. Finding Daphne had nowhere to stay, Chrissy offered for her to come and live in her rooms. And the soon became close friends. And then not long after that lovers.

Chrissy had affection for much of the slaves in the house. Including at first the girl named Meat who would later be named Sabine. But Sabine, daughter of Melanthe despite her slavery sneered at Chrissy's kindness upon discovering she was a barbarian. And it seemed even helped engineer a punishment collar for Chrissy for a day. Whilst hooded and caged so the other slaves would not know who she was she learned the grim reality that perhaps not all the slaves were as sweet as she had thought. And yet she still held compassion for them. With perhaps the exception of Sabine. She soon came to know Kaz as well brother of Sabine, son of Melanthe. Himself once a slave but now released and Sabine given to him as property in the start of an incestuous affair.

Time went on. and soon it became apparent the outpost though has a prosperous start would not likely grow further. So the whole House moved to Genesian Port where Melanthe bought up lands and opened an office in the port.

Chrissy resumed her role here but started to study under the Blue. realising her name was a little Earth sounding she changed her name to Callista and passing the exams became Blue Caste.

She soon after was offered the role of Ambassador for Genesian Port, a role she gladly accepted. And thus she needed more help for  the administration of the House and started grooming Daphne into the role.

Not long after Melanthe announced she was to adopt Callista. Something that deeply touched her and she was overjoyed. Seeing Melanthe as a Mother figure already, the sense of family this brought to her was deeply moving for her. She has started to try and make amends with Sabine, who herself recently found herself freed. As well as trying to get closer to her new brother Kaz.

Callista is starting to make a place for herself. Building up her own indepndant wealth from her high position and some trade she does on the side and is currently a proper High Caste Freewoman.

But alas Genesian Port was not to last. Internal politics drove the House away and Callista's loyalty was always to her family and the house. So she resigned as Ambassador and travelled on.

Chrissy now named Callista and has been adopted by Lady Melanthe Patria of House Patria. She helped run the Slaver House often with the help of her dear friend (and lover) Daphne. Mostly dealing with the administration and accounts. She has also recently been made Ambassador for the Genesian Port after joining the Blue Caste. So is becoming a woman of station.

She was very different to her new Mother and sister Sabine in many ways. Melanthe can be cruel and wicked at times. Chrissy soft hearted and compassionate  And yet whilst working for her, Chrissy started to become very fond of Melanthe. Seeing her as a Mother figure. Her cruelties often forgiven, Chrissy started to develop a deep loyalty for the woman. So when Melanthe adopted her she was overjoyed.

Callista tried to counter the cruelty Melanthe and Sabine show towards the slaves of the House with acts of kindness from time to time. And also sees in her new brother Kaz a man not completely like Melanthe and Sabine. Someone capable of cruelty, but also someone with compassion.

She now had to juggle duty to her family and House, with her duty to her city and her forbidden love.

Soon Melanthe decided to resurrect New Tharna again and they travelled to the Silk Road to do so. The place quickly become prosperous and Callista as well as being daughter of the Tatrix was made New Tharna's chief Magistrate.
All was well for awhile.
But then disasters start to strike. A sandstorm that buried much of the city.
Her Mother kidnapped by an enemy and when she went looking for her at his village she was raped and left for dead. Then her mother falling pregnant to this man.
Things started to fall apart and Callista left new Tharna.

She set up a new company and developed her riches. Having come across some Priest-King and Kurr technology she decided to investigate it more.

Setting up a base on tunnels in the Sardar foothills she built up a company seeking out technology and bringing it back to study.

The secret company was successful over many years and Callista threw herself into running it. Especially afters head about the death of her Mother.
