Infopost!
The most important thing goes outside the cut: guys, we have to talk about the voice.
Her VA is male. And a smoker. And the voice is so deep that it gives him coughing fits.
Words don't do it justice: go listen here. Or here, or here. Or watch the VA himself talk in her voice here.
The voice is never explained, beyond the fact that she's a heavy smoker. Assume whatever you'd like: that her genetics are screwy, that she eats cigarettes, or the usual one, that she's either transgender or in drag.
Call her a dude all you like, but for the sake of other players, please keep any actual TG slur terms to a minimum?
DR. GIRLFRIEND (SUPERVILLAIN)
If you're familiar with her canon, then she's coming from mid-season two, just after "Fallen Arches," where she fails to go solo again with her murderous moppets. If you're not, then just know that the premise of The Venture Brothers is what would really happen to a kid with a Jonny Quest-style childhood: he would turn into a neurotic, pill-popping failure of an adult, who could never live up to his father or his ten-year-old self. That's Dr. Venture; his sons are the titular Venture Brothers. Oh, and they've been cloned like a dozen times each, because they're "death-prone." It's that kind of show.
Dr. Girlfriend works for the Guild of Calamitous Intent as a licensed supervillain, which usually means playing cat-and-mouse games with licensed Good Guys. She apparently has a doctorate of some type -- I'm assuming something to do with science, considering her knack for it -- but sort of fell into arching because one of her professors was doing it, and they were sleeping together, so why not? Right now she's inbetween arches -- she was #2 for a guy, but they broke up, so she went back to #2ing her ex, but then THEY broke up, and ugh, MEN.
"Dr. Girlfriend" is her villain name -- she picks a new one for each identity, and has had several in the past, but Dr. Girlfriend has stuck, so that's what I'm calling her here. Narrative might mention her real name (Sheila) and she might try out a few new personas, but Dr. Girlfriend is sort of her name, for better or for worse.
Being a supervillain doesn't mean she's going to set fire to anything on-island. It's just a job. She's going to recruit for the guild, and if she gets herself a good guy/gal to arch, that'd be fabulous, but in the meantime she's going to run her smuggling ring in peace.
Oh, right, the smuggling ring.
ANTIQUE STORE (SMUGGLING RING)
The antique store is being renamed Curiosities, Oddities and Antiques. Lots of strange and unusual items coming through! Oh, and she's working as a fence. Some of the packages are being sent by the Guild on their way through to a third destination, so as to make it harder to track. Some are being sent as a "here, do you think you can sell these?"
What this means for you, if you just want a nice normal antique store: no worries. Most of the stuff on the floor is normal antique fare, because the antique store makes a great cover.
What this means for you, if you really want to get your hands on something illicit, illegal, or hard to come by: talk to her. She'll work her mojo and get a special order in.
What this means for you, if you regularly steal shit* and need it fenced: she will be your new best friend.
*Please don't steal from other player characters without their permission obviously.
BORING STUFF (PLAYER INFO)
Hi! It's Relly. I kind of bailed a few months back when work got insane, but things seem to be calmed down now. And, well, I missed everyone. What's new?
My job doesn't let me have internet access at work, so there are going to be long bouts of AFK from me, especially in the 3-8 EST range. C'est la vie.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Any good guys want to be arched, or to give her a hard time about all the hot packages coming through? Any potential baddies want to be recruited to the Guild, or need a friendly neighborhood fence?
