Jocasta Flamel

Personal Information

Appearance

Jocasta appears to be of average height and build, although it's hard to tell, given she's rarely seen without at least a lab coat and safety gloves. The only clue to her ethnic identity is the slightly angular face of someone with eastern European heritage, although that could just be lucky genes.

Personality

Most people describe Jocasta as 'intense', usually with some sort of expletive in front. Her focus is unnerving, no matter what she's talking about, pointing to, or looking at. She tends to speak a little faster than is strictly necessary, and it feels as if every statement ends with an exclamation mark. This combines strangely with a brutal, savage aura, that leaves the unshakeable impression that she's one exclamation mark away from murdering people.

"Don't fear a compound in a stable state."

- Discussing either Carsten Sobels or white phosphor or fireproofing compounds, hard to tell which

- Regarding her upbringing, and what she'd be like in other covenants.

Quotes About

"Yo, Casta!"

- Lucky

You know... some people are just happy to jump over a shark... O.o

- Ady, on the forums, in response to Jocasta's thoughts on volcanoes

"Artemis was angry at Ariadne's faithlessness to Dionysus, her brother...What do you know of them and their line?"
"They are hunters and are very, very dangerous. Their skills with vitae and blood are unparalleled and they can do some very interesting things with it."
"Interesting...there's a word for it... Hunters. Unparalleled. Artemis was sister to Dionysus, whose mother Semele died..."
(laughs for a moment) "Yes... yes indeed. I think I need to speak with Jocasta."

- Dame Threadgoldand Benjamin Kirkson, respectively

"The Peerless Huntress, Bringer of Light..."

- Dame Threadgold, belabouring a point of prophecy

"She's Melieke's childe, so that makes her worth something. I punched her once. She wasn't mad. But she's a dragon. They like that I think, it's a 'speriment to them."

- Nyx, trying to compliment people again.

Conversations

"Lucky!?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing!?"
"I'm experimenting."
"... What's the - premise, the hypothesis, the -!"
"I'm attempting to determine the precise leisurely pursuits that will entice a Dragon away from their work."
"Your premise is compelling, but -"
"Would you like to see my methodology?"
"That would depend on how extensive it was!"
"I assure you, Dr. Flamel, that I'm very, very thorough with my experimentation."

- Lucky and Jocasta.

"You'll be able to find me pretty soon, Priscus Bone! I would say 'just look for the explosions', but that's glib and untrue."
"Not yet, anyway. From what I've heard there ain't no promises there."

- Jocasta and Bone respectively.

"I imagine we are both exceptionally skilled ladies, very good at what we do. I wouldn't dream of crossing you, I value my everything in roughly one piece. I understand times change, though, so I hope you will continue to extend me the same courtesy. Lest our competencies get in the way of each other."
"I'd say that sentiment is fairly mutual. Besides, fate has a twisted sense of humour and appears to have called us allies so long as I don't go indulging in betrayal."
"Betrayal's a terrible business to be in."
"Not something I go in for given a choice"

- Jocasta and Dame Threadgold respectively.

"Will they even run if the fire is them though?"
"Oh yes. Even the human mind panics when on fire. You may have heard the Stop Drop and Roll campaign? Because an easy slogan is simple to remember when your brain is screaming SWEET JESUS I AM ON FIRE."

- Bone and Jocasta respectively, discussing flamethrowers.

"Are you assuaged somewhat that I'm not going to fill your undergarments with thermite?"
"...I never really thought you'd get close enough to my undergarments to fill them with much of anything, but given our previous discussions I don't think you'd need to."
"Excellent. Obfuscate is a mug's game."
"I didn't really think you'd obfuscate them either."
"Hah! No, that would involve constant contact."
"oh... right. No." takes a breath to say something, then obviously thinks better of it
"Romantic or no, I know someone who will get irritated at me if I'm somehow in constant contact with your smallclothes"
"I...wasn't going to get into that..." obviously related to whatever she thought better of saying "...Lets avoid irritating scalpels or flames or anything too closely related to them, shall we?"
"Hopefully! Well, except for the flames. I need those."

- the "Thermite Exchange".

Rumours

• She's Melieke's favourite.
• Nyx punched her in the face when they first met.
  • But Jocasta said she deserved it, so I guess it was ok?
    • That's just how Nyx says hi to Jocasta anyway.
• She's invented a way to cure the kindred condition, but it resulted in something worse, so she's never going to admit it to anyone.
• She's not adverse to teaching certain members of other disciplines about the cleansing nature of explosives for personal hygiene
