✺The Life and Times of Veronica Falco (abridged) ✺

✺May be a complete fabrication ✺

"Take what I give you and be grateful..."

Early Life

✺
Veronica Falco was the only surviving child, and the last to be born, of an Imperial clerk and a former legionnaire. Due to the deaths of two older siblings from illness, her mother and father were especially protective of her. While sheltered from a normal childhood social life as a result, she wasn't denied the chance to study whichever topics grabbed her attention at the time. Science ended up being the one that stuck, and Veronica dove into it fully and headfirst. Eventually, she was allowed to attend school with others her age, which came as a bit of a culture shock to her. Not a popular child, Veronica kept mostly to herself and buried her mind into her studies. ONly towards the end of her childhood schooling did she find something close to a social circle, misfits and losers. She felt right at home in that group.

"Trust makes you vulnerable..."

The Academy Life

✺
She'd have to leave those friends behind, once she was admitted to the Medicus Academy. The training was rigorous, both for mind and body. But Veronica was tenacious, hyper-focused on her aspirations. Years were spent in this environment, and it was there that she used the study habits of her youth to reach new heights in her young adulthood. She took to medicine well, finding herself among the top students in her class. Besides focusing on her goal of becoming a surgeon, Veronica also studied biochemistry, a field of expertise that would shape much of her life in the coming years. In the meantime, she found herself doing well on her own, and without the influence of her overprotective parents. She came into her own socially among others who also valued intellect and determination. She became a fixture at many of the off-hours clubs and establishments around the campus, known and liked by enough to not feel isolated living away from home.

"Merit can only take you so far..."

The Xᵗʰ Legion

✺
After graduating from the Academy, it was time for Veronica to fulfill her military obligations to the Empire. After basic training, and officer's instruction, Veronica jen Falco was assigned to the Xᵗʰ Legion as a trauma surgeon. It was a trial by fire, often having to deal with severely injured patients, many too far gone to save despite best efforts. These painful lessons were her first real brush with failure, and they stung. Still, there were more than enough success cases to prove all her efforts were worth the trouble. She persevered, thrived, grew in both her skills as a doctor, and her ability to cope with the death she faced on a near-daily basis. After her first five-year obligation, she took time away from the front to focus on her chemistry, both for the Legion and for the private sector as a military consultant. After the break, she returned to finish paying back the nation that had given her so much. Even as it fought itself, even after seeing the world that nation had created by warfare and bloodshed, by theft. By that time, she had ascended to become Veronica lux Falco, the chief of her own medical division, and chief neurosurgeon. Her people came to rely on her, and she relied on them just as much. They became a sort of found family, and while never the motherly type, Veronica was the anchor to reality they relied on at the worst of times.

"Take a stim and get back to work, death waits for no one..."

The Private Sector

✺
Veronica rarely, if ever, speak of the things she did while working in the private sector as a chemist and military consultant. What she's admitted suggest that much of it was related to the improvement of combat stimulants, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and other things related to the medical field. Of course, the fact that she's less than eager to go into detail about it suggests that there is more to the story. Whatever the case, Veronica soon returned to Xᵗʰ Legion to continue fulfilling her military obligations to the Empire.

"I did what I had to do, what I was ordered to do..."

When it all crumbled

✺
Another civil war in the streets of the capitol, and so much needless death. Veronica felt the helplessness as a once grand empire ate itself to death. She was one person, and far from Garlemald when the Legatus called all the senior staff together to discuss the request of assistance coming from the place most of them called home and all of them pledged their devotion to. To cross vast territories and join in the ruin of their nation, or to march west towards Gyr Abania and put themselves at the mercy of an enemy force, in a place once held in occupation by their empire. It was a dark and stormy night as that Corvosi sky opened up and water and levin poured from the heavens. There was disagreement among the officers, and even more for those who served under them. And when the call was finally made to head west, fights broke out. Fists at first, but then it got far worse. Veronica's comrades, her people, those who relied upon her. Many, the closest of friends otherwise, disagreed about the politics of it all. Pragmaticism versus patriotism, the safety of your legion, and its people, against the loyalty still held by many to an Empire on its deathbed. History will record that the Xᵗʰ Legion marched west to Ala Mhigo to request aid. What it won't so easily record is the bloody path it took to get there. Veronica walked every terrible step with those that survived that night. The mud and blood will stain her for the remainder of her days.

GUIDELINES

✺I will only RP with Players/Characters 18 years old+, no exceptions, sorry. Despite how amazingly sexy Veronica is, my primary focus is not ERP. I never rule it out, but there should be some story behind it, some sort of establishing connection. I've added my /c/ for the purpose of avoiding awkward interactions, should things lead towards intimacy, but it's not an invitation to be creepy towards me. Also, please remember that like you, I'm here for my own personal enjoyment, not yours. I'll RP with almost anyone, but I do so when I have the time and energy, and I won't allow myself to feel obligated to do so with anyone, for any reason. That being said, I hope we can have some fun together, if it works out that way.If you're coming at me with empty search info, you'll be at a serious disadvantage. Folks with a carrd or other sort of profile will have advantages. It might not seem fair, but it is what it is.Also, if I even get a slight hint of Incel behavior or bigotry of any sort in our OOC interactions, I will quickly end any association and likely blacklist you. I have ZERO tolerance for any amount of that.I'm not currently interested in Veronica being permanently injured or killed off.✺

Walk-ups & Tells

✺I far prefer walk-up RP over Tell RP, but I understand sometimes it's too noisy for RP in Say chat.✺

About Me

✺

Cerulean

I'm a mature happily committed woman (not looking for RL love, so don't bother,) who has been role playing for a long time, and online in MMO's for about twelve years or so, about four of them in this game. I'm on west coast time, in the states, but I work from home, and it allows me to be available for RP a lot. It's my favorite hobby, by far, and so it's what I do the most. Mostly in the evening, often all night long.I'm looking for more long-term RP, as opposed to one-offs, but I will do both.✺

Playtime

✺I usually RP in the evenings, and into the late night. If my RP tag is on, feel free to walk up. I don't like a lot of pre-planning or scheduling if I can help it.✺
