OOC: Beating the Info-Post Rush ... Kinda
Since Bo's finally hit town, I figured it was time for one of these.
The one who isn't Jack Sparrow, that is.
Name: Bo Jones... except not?
Bo (no last name) was on the baby picture that was the only thing her parents received when they adopted her, and it's what she goes by now, but she didn't start using it until she ran away from home at 17/18.
Jones is the last name she's currently using in Fandom (and has used at least once in canon because she has a fake ID for it) but it's just one of many aliases.
Beth Dennis is the name her adoptive parents gave her; she hasn't used it since she ran away from home.
Ysabeau is the name her biological mother gave her; it's also her deceased grandmother's name.
She's Bo Jones to everyone in Fandom, though a handful of people who saw her when she was regressed to a kid on Weetiny Weekend may have picked up on the fact that her home-made nametag said Bo Dennis. Becausecanon hadn't given us Beth yet Weetiny always plays pic-n-mix with people's memories.
Fandom: Lost Girl
Age: 28
Species: Succubus, though if you ask her, the answer is only "Good fucking question."
Lost Girl is a Canadian-produced (the jury is still out on whether it's actually set in Canada) sci-fi/fantasy show centered around the Fae: a classification of supernatural/supernormal beings that runs the gamut from elves and dwarves to sirens, Aswang, and things-that-seem-to-be-vampires. If it's sentient but not human, it's Fae, apparently, no matter what culture the individual myth hails from.
They live among, yet unknown by, humans; the more humanoid Fae can also interbreed with them, but the rare children of such unions don't have Fae powers. They also have their own secret internal government that consists of Light and Dark factions who co-exist in an uneasy truce -- a truce that's ripe to spill over into war which could end humanity if broken.
They also wear a lot of leather.
Enter Bo, a woman who's been running from city to city for the last ten years, ever since her first sexual encounter at 18 ended with her boyfriend waking up dead except for the waking up part. Bo, you see, can draw sexual energy from her partners (even when limiting the encounter to a kiss), but can't usually control how much she takes, especially if it's been a long while since she's fed. She puts it off for as long as she can, then skips town when feeding ends, as it frequently does, in tragedy. She has no idea there is anyone else out there like her, doesn't know what she is besides "a homicidal freak" and has never heard of the Fae.
She also wears a lot of leather. Hmm.
In the motion comics set prior to the series proper, Bo had been staying with Gerry, a housebound older man suffering from dementia who thought (or pretended) that Bo was his daughter, and making ends meet by picking up cash in those kind of clubs where the first rule is you don't talk about them. One day, after feeding off a druggie who was a little more tweaked than she realized, the hunger overcame Bo and she drained a random businessman on the street. She felt so sickened by it that she tried to go cold turkey, even if it killed her.
Yeeeah, that worked out so much better. Gerry was murdered a week later by a Futakuchi-onna, a rogue Fae from a parasitic clan who'd been following Bo around and living off her kills, and didn't like her new vegetarian stance one bit. (That would be the part I only linked to in her background posts, because hello overcomplication and tons of motivation stuff that Bo wasn't privy to.) She kidnapped an incredibly-weakened Bo (without ever revealing who or what either of them were) and trapped her in a room with one of her former Fight-Club opponents. Out came the survival instinct, and a minor epiphany for Bo after her escape: she's part of a food-chain; she feeds to survive, and it doesn't make her evil. Still, she can keep the innocents safe by sticking to only those she considers evil herself; there's plenty of candidates in a big city.
So Bo now has a new den in an abandoned building, and a new job as a hotel bartender. Pfft, like that'll last; want to join the pool on how many episodes it'll be before she blows her cover? No, I wouldn't either; it happens in the pilot, when she walks off the job to follow a man she's just seen slip a roofie into the drink of a young girl (also known as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
regretiz4suckas aka Kenzi). Catching up to them in the elevator, Bo kisses and deliberately drains him to save the highly-drugged girl. Who happens to have been a little more conscious than Bo realized, because oops. She saw Bo eat some dude's face, and it was awesome.
That's where Bo exits canon and takes off on a road trip in her battered '69 Camaro (look, it took me 2 hours to track down what kind of car she drives and she's not even going to get to use it on the damned island so shut up, I'm mentioning it here) to get as far and as fast away from that mess as possible. An island? Well, it's a little isolated, which won't help with the feeding pool, but who's going to come looking for her here? And she can always head over the causeway to the city when she needs to feed.
She doesn't know what she is, she doesn't know the Fae exist, and she doesn't know that there are ways she can feed off people without killing them. Let's hope she discovers at least some of that in Fandom, sooner than later, no?
[Update: which she has, now. She knows about the Fae and that she's a Succubus, she's met both her mother and grandfather (not that she knows those facts about Saskia and Trick), and knows there's an amulet that can block her chi-draining powers. Because she has it. Because Kenzi stole it. As Kenzi does. She also knows via Fandom AU shenanigans that she has the ability to drain chi from multiple people, and at a distance, though she doesn't entirely know how to do it back in the real world and certainly hasn't practiced it again. Though she mostly sticks to powered people for sex partners still, she's met -- and is still in contact with -- Lauren Lewis, the human doctor who works for the Light Fae and ends up giving Bo both chemical and psychological help in learning to control her hunger with humans. She hasn't figured out yet that she can transfer chi back into someone (or from one person to another) to heal or bring them back to life. I...should do something with that.]
Long brown hair, lots of eye makeup, and a penchant for black leather and cleavage -- other people's as well as her own. Bo's cheerfully bisexual (and polyamorous) and one of the things about this show that makes me squee is the fact that it's No Big Deal. She's a succubus, she lives off sex energy, she's genetically set up to enjoy getting that in any available form, and she's got no hangups about that -- she's far too busy hating herself for the fact that most of her lovers end up dead. She also has (meaningless plot point ahoy) a birthmark on her left foot just above the ankle. (So did a baby who was spirited away by a Fae midwife for her own safety 28 years ago, yadda yadda bing.)
Despite being a murderer and having to become practical about that, she's a fairly moral person and tries whenever possible to feed off criminals and jerks. Still, she's a survivor. She can't bring herself to stop -- the compulsion is too great and she gets too weak if she doesn't feed. She can't tell anyone (this'll inevitably change in Fandom), she can't make any long-term friends because she'll always have to leave (and she might end up hurting them), and the only person she could count on for the last ten years was herself.
All of this has turned Bo into a sarcastic, stubborn loner: friendly enough on the surface but she doesn't let people get close. She doesn't expect help, doesn't want emotional complications, and really doesn't like following orders or being forced to choose sides. Underneath that, however, is still a smalltown Midwestern girl with a good heart who will frequently risk herself impulsively to help people even as she's grumbling about getting involved.
The emotional complications Bo tries to avoid keep happening to her, and it becomes obvious pretty quickly in canon that the Do Not Want is more for their sake than for hers, because once she's tied up with the Fae, she makes friends, allies and lovers pretty quickly, and in fact reveals herself to be a not-so-closet romantic. I project that similar things would happen in Fandom, stuffed as it is with do-gooders and people unlikely to even blink at her freakosity.
The downside of that tendency is that since Bo's not used to letting people get close to her, when she does, she's pretty vulnerable to getting hurt. This happens with friends-turned-lovers of both genders in canon, but the {spoiiiilers} literal mother-lode of {/spoiiiilers} Ouch comes when she meets Saskia, a fellow succubus who starts out as an apparent friend and mentor, but turns out to be {spoiiiilers} Bo's long-lost bio-mom, Aife, {/spoiiiilers} a revenge-driven, amoral psycho who wants to bring down both sides of the Fae political divide by setting them at war, and doesn't care who she has to use or kill to make that happen, including Bo.
Still, Bo ends the first season having accepted both big and small betrayals without shutting herself off from connections again, and that's the kind of development I'd like to take her through in Fandom as well.
Bo bartends at the Devil's Nest on Saturdays, acts as the FH Security Officer, and has, to quote her creator, "the dating skills of a fifteen year old" which is possibly why she gets along so well withregretiz4suckas, and definitely why she's had a number of Friends With Really Fun Benefits so far, but wouldn't know a relationship if it bit her on the ass.
AKA "This is what happens when you play from live canon that will not only discredit your backstory extrapolations at the drop of a pair of leather pants, it'll cheerfully contradict or ignore its own supplementary media."
FH!Bo has established, pretty much just to Kenzi, that a) she grew up knowing she was adopted and was cool with that and b) she hasn't talked to her parents since she killed her boyfriend and ran, nor does she know what their reaction to it was or what they think of her now.
(A was extrapolation since she's surprised to find out she's Fae in canon, but shows no surprise or argument when asked who her 'real' parents were. Thus they had to have told her sometime before her powers kicked in due to B, which is what's implied in the damned motion comics and the one-shot print comic, grr argh keysmash. ...All better now.)
Canon broadcast after that happened in-game says that Bo actually went to her parents right after her boyfriend's death, everyone freaked out, they admitted for the first time that she was adopted and told her about the baby picture with Bo written on it, and then she ran away.
Sigh.
So FH!Bo comes from the slightly sideways comic-book universe where she didn't talk to anybody and just ran, and she always knew she was adopted. Instead of talking to her parents and getting the baby picture from them, she found it while ransacking the (empty) house before running away, and instead of being mad at them (at the time) for not telling her she was adopted, she was mad at them for holding back the only clue they had to who she really was. Then she sliiiiides right back into ongoing canon.
Until the next time I yell at my screen and sputter over Twitter.
Feeding (Which might as well be subtitled "And Anything Resembling Sexytimes")
OKAY SO. Bo is a succubus. She gains strength and can heal her own wounds (and hangovers, whee) by feeding off the sexual 'chi' of her partners, through actual sex or even just kissing. She starts getting hungry again three or four days after feeding on a human; after a week, she's incredibly weakened (to the level of passing out, at one point) and hitting the edge of how long she can last. During a feed, Bo's eyes, normally brown, glow blue, and her partner experiences extreme sensual bliss -- then usually, if human, dies. With a smile.
After Bo gets some training in canon (which early on includes pharmaceutical help) in controlling her feeding, she learns to pull back before that happens. Before then, she's unable to stop even when she wants to, though a feed can be interrupted by someone else pulling her away.
SO, while she'll flirt with anybody who feels like flirting, and she can make out without feeding unless she's starving, plain old humans areoff-limits for anything more, at the moment .... something she's being veeeeery careful with at this point. She's now met Saskia, who visited Fandom and gave her some tips, so she's aware that (and kind of how) she can assert more control, but she doesn't have much practice yet and is understandably incredibly leery about it.
Buuuuuuut... Nonhumans/superhumans? A whole different story. Fae partners aren't likely to die from chi-draining encounters with her. They also give a much stronger hit of power than humans do, enough to satisfy her hunger for longer than normal and heal most injuries completely. (They can, however, get worn down and weakened if she keeps coming back too frequently to the same person for healing.) For the purposes of FH, let's extend that to any nonhumans with a strong constitution: if the player would like them to be able to survive feeding encounters with Bo, awesome.
Finally, a succubus also has the ability to bring a victim back from drainage/near-death by transferring energy back to her partner - even if the victim was drained by a different succubus. Bo doesn't know this, to a pretty tragic level at this point, but I hope for her to eventually be able to figure it out.
Other Powerzzz
As a direct side-effect of living off sex-energy, Bo can also read the amount that people in her vicinity are putting out, and get a rough gauge of, for instance, how interested characters are in each other, or in her. (She also has a general +5 to sexterity: people who could be attracted to her tend to be. This doesn't affect those whose orientations don't swing her way, though.)
Her succubus abilities also extend to Jedi Mind-Tricking people through skin contact. She touches them, turns them on, asks for things, and lo, nobody wants to say no. The downsides of this are that it wears off after a while (usually less than an hour) and it depletes her store of energy, hastening the need for the next feed.
We've never seen a human it didn't work on (including a thoroughly gay man who wasn't attracted to her on his own, though in his case she did have to go to full-on kissyface and chi-sucking) but the effects vary widely when she tries it on other Fae. It usually works, but some Fae have powers that would counteract it, some are stronger than she is, some retain more of an awareness that they've been messed with than a human would, and so on. For FH purposes, how well it works on any non-human is again, totally up to the player.
If Bo bleeds on someone while also using her succubus powers, the mind-trick effect can become a long-lasting thrall; she doesn't know how to do this, though, or even that she can.
Finally...ish, when well-fed, Bo is stronger than most humans, faster, and an impressive fighter -- or, in Kenzi's words, a "nookie-powered Amazon." One of the ways she picks up money when she doesn't have a semi-legitimate job is by beating up dudes twice her size. She's also good with knives and swords without any specific training having been revealed; I'm going with the assumption that it's at least partially a Buffyesque instinctive thing, since fist and knife could have been learned on the streets, but swordfighting?
Finally for realz, live canon and she's the super-speshul sparkly main character with the mysterious past and destiny-filled future, so this is totally subject to more powerzzzz showing up here after they're revealed onscreen.
Update: And they did. Kind of. Mostly just in terms of explaining that the blood thrall is a power inherited from Trick, not something succubi usually have, and the ability to draw chi from multiple victims and to transfer it to someone else came from her father. Who is Hades because of course he is. Season 4 you are a hot incoherent mess with brief moments of joy, most of which start with T and end in amsin.
Yours: I'm not gonna pull any of that crap up there without asking you first, duh. With one minor exception: if your narrative says the character's attracted to someone, Bo has the ability to notice that if she's in the vicinity. Still, she's not going to tell anyone else what she's noticed (including your character) without OOC permission. (And if you'd like your character to be completely immune to that for some reason, that's A-OK; just let me know.)
Mine:
Aaaaanybody who has I can tell you're something weird and not human powers or senses is welcome to be able to tell that Bo is something weird and not human. Anybody who's likely to be able to pick up that the nature of her power is sexuality-related is welcome to do that too.
Talk to me if you'd like your character to figure out her specific species, though, because that's only likely to happen with someone who's been up close and personal in a feeding encounter with her/been told about it in detail, and has enough background knowledge to be able to associate that with the word succubus. (Or who's read her mind and gotten it directly from Bo.) I don't mind it happening; I'd just like some heads-up for planning funtimes.
Telepaths? Bo's wide open for eavesdropping on (though not mentally loud or anything; she just doesn't have anything resembling shields because she doesn't even know you exist). She's got the strength to put up a fight if you try to directly mind-control her, though, since she has that power herself - but only if you're in physical contact with her.
1. Not gonna lie, I'd kill for Bo's canon BFF Kenzi (she of the eating-some-dude's-face comment)to show up in this game. Score!
2. Canadian Actor Biiiingo! Almost the entire cast of this show have been on one or more Canadian shows with FH representation, including Republic of Doyle, Murdoch Mysteries, Due South, and new-kid canons Highlander and The Listener. (Also the less Canadian Veronica Mars, Charmed, and Smallville.)

It usually works, but some Fae have powers that would counteract it, some are stronger than she is, some retain more of an awareness that they've been messed with than a human would, and so on. For FH purposes, how well it works on any non-human is again, totally up to the player.
If Bo bleeds on someone while also using her succubus powers, the mind-trick effect can become a long-lasting thrall; she doesn't know how to do this, though, or even that she can.
Finally...ish, when well-fed, Bo is stronger than most humans, faster, and an impressive fighter -- or, in Kenzi's words, a "nookie-powered Amazon." One of the ways she picks up money when she doesn't have a semi-legitimate job is by beating up dudes twice her size. She's also good with knives and swords without any specific training having been revealed; I'm going with the assumption that it's at least partially a Buffyesque instinctive thing, since fist and knife could have been learned on the streets, but swordfighting?
Finally for realz, live canon and she's the super-speshul sparkly main character with the mysterious past and destiny-filled future, so this is totally subject to more powerzzzz showing up here after they're revealed onscreen.
Update: And they did. Kind of. Mostly just in terms of explaining that the blood thrall is a power inherited from Trick, not something succubi usually have, and the ability to draw chi from multiple victims and to transfer it to someone else came from her father. Who is Hades because of course he is. Season 4 you are a hot incoherent mess with brief moments of joy, most of which start with T and end in amsin.
The Ever-Popular Permissionzzz
Yours: I'm not gonna pull any of that crap up there without asking you first, duh. With one minor exception: if your narrative says the character's attracted to someone, Bo has the ability to notice that if she's in the vicinity. Still, she's not going to tell anyone else what she's noticed (including your character) without OOC permission. (And if you'd like your character to be completely immune to that for some reason, that's A-OK; just let me know.)
Mine:
Aaaaanybody who has I can tell you're something weird and not human powers or senses is welcome to be able to tell that Bo is something weird and not human. Anybody who's likely to be able to pick up that the nature of her power is sexuality-related is welcome to do that too.
Talk to me if you'd like your character to figure out her specific species, though, because that's only likely to happen with someone who's been up close and personal in a feeding encounter with her/been told about it in detail, and has enough background knowledge to be able to associate that with the word succubus. (Or who's read her mind and gotten it directly from Bo.) I don't mind it happening; I'd just like some heads-up for planning funtimes.
Telepaths? Bo's wide open for eavesdropping on (though not mentally loud or anything; she just doesn't have anything resembling shields because she doesn't even know you exist). She's got the strength to put up a fight if you try to directly mind-control her, though, since she has that power herself - but only if you're in physical contact with her.
PS
1. Not gonna lie, I'd kill for Bo's canon BFF Kenzi (she of the eating-some-dude's-face comment)
2. Canadian Actor Biiiingo! Almost the entire cast of this show have been on one or more Canadian shows with FH representation, including Republic of Doyle, Murdoch Mysteries, Due South, and new-kid canons Highlander and The Listener. (Also the less Canadian Veronica Mars, Charmed, and Smallville.)
