Overview

      Dorian Crystal is a clerk at one of the seediest motels in the area, the kind of place that embraces the 'charge by the hour' philosophy. Crystal Dorian, by contrast, is a perky off-hours weathergirl on a local broadcast TV station, the kind that makes old-timers curse about how weather forecasters don't know so much, anyway. Maybe you've only met one of them, but so doing, you've already met both. They're the same person, not that everyone knows it. This Spring courtier is more mirror than either man or woman, but at least the mirror has two faces that are somewhat familiar.

      ((OOC Note: Neither face of Dorian or Crystal advertises that they are the same person, but their status can be deduced if you meet them both. I'd be thrilled if we met at least twice before that occurs to anybody ICly, as figuring it out is half the fun, and the pathway towards some understanding of just what they're about.))

RP Hooks

  • The Mirror Has Two Faces - Pretty obvious, right? Except when it's not. Dorian maintains two personas, who have a lot in common, and several things that are flip-flopped mirror-images of one another.
  • Scrying for Trouble - You use the mirror to see things beyond your ken. You might say she is Crystal, gazing, and there are ways in which her seeing is accurate.
  • Inamorati - An escapee of the Noemata, if you remember her (or him) you might have a better grasp on her personality and life; they were, at one time, an Exemplar of The Lovers. This is also why, whether or not you meet Crystal or Dorian, either one is an enormous and unjudging flirt.

Contacts

  • Name - You can list people your character knows here.
  • Name - It could be someone they find useful, someone they care about.
  • Name - It could be someone they loathe, an adversary or rival.

Soundtrack

Antlers - Doppelganger

Can you hear me when I'm trapped behind the mirror?
A doppelganger roaring from my silent kind of furor?
If you're quiet, you can hear the monster breathing
Do you hear that gentle tapping?

Lord Huron - The Night We Met

I had all and then most of you; some, and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

Them Crooked Vultures - No One Loves Me and Neither Do I

Then she said "no one loves me and neither do I"
You get what you give, I give goodbye
And if I should vanish, don't get caught off guard
Don't hold it against me unless it gets hard
