Vivace Cadenza



Rule One: The World is Beautiful


"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal
of your body love what it loves."

- Mary Oliver, 'Wild Geese'



ABOUT



A self-proclaimed 'Professional Wanderer', Vivace Cadenza is always on the lookout for interesting places and people. This Viera is overflowing with a joie de vivre that goes far in making up for his less than razor-sharp wit. He has been described as 'distractable', 'ditzy', and 'a bit of a bimbo, really'. In truth, he's simply head-over-heels in love with the world.


Vivace sees the best in everyone and everything, and this unwavering naïveté has gotten him into trouble just as often as it has made him friends. He pays no mind to the slowly-growing list of enemies he's made and towns he's barred from, though. As far as he's concerned, there's always a friendly face and a warm bed just around the corner. Maybe that face will be you!

Hooks


Lighter


Spare A Bed?: Vivace is terrible at forward planning despite his lifestyle, and so often finds himself on an empty stomach with nowhere to lay his head. Sometimes he finds a generous stranger, and sometimes he finds himself passed out in the dirt. Lend him a hand?


One Small Favor: A compulsive yes-man, Vivace will always lend a hand to anyone with even the smallest need. He likes to feel helpful! Sometimes, however, one thing leads to another and he makes a promise that gets him in way over his head! Will you help him, or are you the one he's trying to please?


Darker


Deer on the Lamb: A nasty habit of taking what isn't his has left Vivace with a lot of enemies, some in high places. If you recognize his face, tread cautiously, whether you're giving him a safe bed for the night or you're out for his bounty yourself.


A Predator Between the Trees: Not so long ago, a beast of verdant nightmares terrorized the Shroud, slaughtering many unfortunate enough to cross it's path. Until one day, it vanished without a trace. Whispers speak of the beast wrapping itself in a man's skin, walking amongst the innocent unnoticed, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Perhaps a hunter receives a tip or finds a trail, leading them to something unexpected?


Out of Character



I'm Rampage (She/þey), and I've been role-playing in various different forms for well over a decade now, including writing, producing, and operating a Live-Action Roleplaying Game for over three years.

My Mods


  • Themes: Pastoral, light-hearted, mundane living and interpersonal relationships. Finding joy in the small moments. A light in the darkness. Trauma-bonding.

  • What I Am Looking For: Semi-casual, low-stress roleplay from those who care as much as I do about engaging storytelling and quality writing. Vivace works best when bouncing off of a "Yes, and" character foil.

  • What I Am Not Looking For: No cops no fash. No ERP. Although Vivi is a flirtatious person with a casual attitude towards sex and sexuality, I am not here to get my rocks off. Additionally, while I am not strictly opposed to violence and other dark themes, they are not the primary tools in my kit, so to speak. Communication, as always, is key.

  • A Note: While Vivace is silly, fun, and a little dumb, he is not a joke character. Beneath the airheaded-ness there is a person, with hopes and fears and reasons for being the way that he is. Please respect that and we will get along great!







We will bring you terror,
And you will bring us meat.
You will make me savage.
We will make you fleet.
You thank us for the chasing,
We thank you for the feast.
The grass leaps up about your carcass,
Long and lean and sweet,
We’ll be your chosen hunters.
And you - the god we eat.





"You’re going to say ‘You don’t have to do this.
You don’t have to spend your whole
life this way. You can be free of it.’"


Yes.


"And breathing, too.
Don’t have to breathe. That too."


Yes.


"All just an illusion, that breathing
and hunting and running and living
and dying."


Yes, and hurting people.
