Gravel

"Gravel" is a PC in CITADELS. She is a Tiefling Ranger played by Ring, and was the fourth character made for the campaign. Gravel is a strongwoman who works as a freelance assassin and has worked with Dante in the past. She is a cis female using she/her pronouns.

Pre-Stream
Not much of Gravel's background is currently known. She is a freelance assassin currently but seems to have a hatred for certain types of people in the upper districts.

Gravel met Thia a few months before when the campaign starts, when the two had met at a scraps and parts shop in the lower district. After bonding over weaponry upgrades and the elf helping her with the mechanics a bit, the two went on to meet on various other occasions until Thia invited Gravel out for a meal at Spice City (where the session 1 would start).

Season I: HELLO DARKNESS
In session 1, Gravel reunites with Dante. Then and multiple later occasions, it's mentioned that the two worked together and the mission went south, Gravel leaving him with his name foul in her mouth and a grudge the size of her heels. Further details haven't been revealed as of yet but Gravel hints that Dante has been at fault for losing team member(s) during the week break.

In session 2, Gravel seems to find familiarity at the strip club. It's unclear at this moment what her connection to the tiefling strip club is but she most likely recognized the establishment or at least establishments like it.

Later, when the party meets Sophie, Gravel seems to become protective of the human girl, going so far as to take on a motherly role in their short time. She rages and lashes out when Sophie's killed, taking her anger out on the cultist that killed her. Her trust seems to dry out quickly after the incident and she approaches Daithi about the conversation she overheard about his mother, asking if he plans to hurt the party. The two form a bond when he gains her trust after letting her come along with him to visit the priestess, and their bond grows when the two take down the band of racists outside the tailor shop. Other than Daithi, Thia seems to be the one Gravel currently trusts the most, the two even going on a so-called "date" (stated by Gravel), and Gravel admittedly telling Daithi of her growing infatuation, however, the females' relationship is still complicated and unclear.

During the rest of their week long rest, it's revealed out of stream by Ring that Gravel believes showing skin is a way of showing empowerment and dominance, thus why she dresses the way she does. In that same session, Gravel travels back to the club with Thia and picks up the video surveillance of the area, going back to the hotel to analyze it and noting someone she was looking for; a high elf named Elre Sosa. She stopped watching once she found all the details, noting a Sunseeker crest on one of his companion's as well. Her connection to this man is unclear.

Personality
Gravel is a lone wolf thrown into crowded territory, always trying to fight her way to the top and dominate the strong so she can throw a bone to the weak. She's an experienced sniper who knows her way around a gun and isn't afraid to make it hurt when she deems someone deserves it. She carries a strong sense of her own morals and justice, seeing her hands as hands that can decide someone's fate or even death. She goes by her own set of codes that she never falters from that acts as the backbone to her morality.

Despite her usually working alone, she can work well with a team once she's opened up and they've gained her trust, however they have to break through her hard exterior first. But once they gain her companionship, she'll make sure no one gets left behind.

Gravel doesn't express many emotions and can keep cool under pressure, always using that to her advantage and getting the job done, doing whatever it takes (in line with her word of justice). She's stubborn and prideful, occasionally (but rarely) giving way to cockiness that she can back up most of the time. She can snap though if you push just the right set of buttons and if she's set on killing you then you better run for your life because she will take you down even if she has to drag you to hell herself. She never lets who deserves to die go and she shows no mercy for mistakes.

Thia
"I met Thia awhile back. She helped me fix my bike. She isn't...the worst. Actually, she'd be the one I'd talk to first out of everyone here. She knows me better than I'd like her to."

"I don't know if I want to get too close."

Dante
"He's a fucking little shit. If I had the chance to slit his throat, I probably would have a ways back. He makes a mess of everything but always seem to put it back together in his own shitty way. Most of the time."

"He deserved what he got."

Daithi
"Daithi's got a spunk I like. He surprised me. Didn't think somebody who came off as so soft would have some backbone. But I don't think he's ready for the real world. He'd be best to stick back in his mind-scape. At least I can mess with him til then."

Bliss
"She gets the job done, least from what I've seen. Don't have much to say otherwise but she's gotta be a hell of a bitch to keep Dante Dick in check. I can respect that."

"She had a presence...but it's part of this job."

The Collective
"Neutral, I guess. Don't have much to say. At least they mess with Dante. But if I had to pick one of them to stay out, I'd say Pepper. Bitch can get shit done."

Sophie
"Good kid. Didn't deserve the shit she got. She reminded me of what could have been but will never be."

Logos
"I could never take the guy seriously for the way he acted but he had my respect. But that's what this is. It's part of what we do."

Sapphire
"Didn't know shit about her and no point in learning now."

Les
"He's sticking his nose too far in shit it shouldn't be. And I can guarantee I'm not the only one who might cut it off."

Anli
"He's annoying. Very annoying. But he's got a big heart. Kinda reminds me of somebody that I used to know..."

Leukos
"He's one of the only people I can talk to right now. It's really better that he doesn't know that much about me."

Sylus
"I don't know shit about him so...neutral? I guess?"

Trivia

 * Gravel is asexual, meaning she has no sexual attraction towards anyone nor the action, but will fulfill the sexual desires of anyone she's intimately involved with.
 * Gravel has a sweet tooth and doesn't like bitter stuff, but can swig it down.
 * Gravel likes to read poetry, ideally fantasy or horror. Her ideal setting is sitting on a cheap couch next to a barely holding on fire with a sweet drink in hand and a book of poems in the other.
 * Gravel likes dad jokes (and laughs like Fenneko from Aggretsuko).
 * Gravel currently sees Daithi as the closest thing she's had to a best friend, or even a brother, and enjoys teasing him (though she'd never say it ever).
 * Gravel doesn't really like Mexican food very much but eats the Collective's cooking so they feel appreciated (she would also never tell them this).
 * Pepper is Gravel's favorite of the Collective and wishes they could talk a bit more, finding her cynicism comforting.
 * Gravel admires Bliss's strength and probably respects her the most out of the party.
