Official HP Try-Outs for the Typhoon

Username: awry
Character name: Rosemary Roux
Character Description/Bio: clicky, tho it's a bit outdated
Position(s) you are interested in: Soothsayer or Sage, though she does better as not the head of the necromambas, as it's less stressful for her and allows her to focus on random healing-related side quests rather than the drudgery of healing while maintaining a bedside manner.
Potential plots/Ideas:
- Trade as a Necessity for Healing Supplies: Rosemary has a history of going to neutrals and allies for healing trade! She’s done this with Palm Glades, Frostblown, and Tanglewoods, including when Palm Glades wasn’t a boarded group. This is a great way to get other groups involved with the Typhoon, as well as give allied groups a way to interact with the Typhoon. This also adds a touch of realism, because not all herbal plants grow in every biome!
- Pro-Alliances: Despite acting like a hermit, Rosemary thinks the more allies the Typhoon has, the better off the pirates are. She would like to see Tanglewoods become an ally once again. However, she would also not be opposed to an alliance with the CotC—yup, she’s a weird one.
- Tarot Card Readings (and the Future): Rosemary does tarot card readings for the Typhoon’s members, though she could also be persuaded to do them for members of other groups! I alway thought it’d be hilarious if an enemy group captured her thinking she can legit see the future, but they ask for a Tarot Reading and she’s like “wtf really you should’ve just asked.”
Why would your character's position be beneficial for their group and what do you offer to the group as a whole?:
- Adviser with no interest in Leadership: Rosemary has never been interested in being promoted to quartermaster or, even worse, captain. This means she’s not interested in personal glory or trying to one-up other hps; she consistently puts her group first, though whether she’s correct in her judgement… well, she’s been wrong before.
- IC HP Experience: Rosemary Roux has been a healer in the Typhoon since Captain Pincher’s reign. During that time, she’s been an on-again off-again sage or soothsayer, depending on my own activity and interest. When as a soothsayer, Rosemary is always willing to trade for healing resources, to teach other characters healing, and (obviously) heal any pirate or their allies. Her approach to picking sages is simply to watch for interested individuals, give them resources to learn, and watch to see if they step up; I’ve learned this is one of the best ways to select healer hp characters without causing a weird “exclusive club” vibe in the healing team.
