Aubrey Schlotwitz (Glory)

Goblin Princess and Technomancer. Leader of the Tiny Alliance, a small group of Practitioner that met online.

## Overview

Goblin princess and Technomancer, using a Hybrid-Practice of combining both. Has a mysterious past, with a hometown that's no longer on the map, and involved in a small group with a few *very* scary individuals. Currently working on improving herself, and being less conflict-oriented, though that's hard to when there's a pissed-off Fae Lord out to ruin your life.

## Appearance

Glory is a young Caucasian woman in her older-teens, with a long blonde hair and murky brown eyes. She has rather well-endowed chest, and stands a bit taller than the the height of the average person. A few small scars accumulated from over the years can be seen across her skin. Glory generally avoids wearing expensive clothing, as she finds all uncomfortable, ands sacrifices practicality over appearance.

She prefers to wear black, with a little of white around it. Generally, ripped jeans, a tank top, and a black leather jacket. She also wears a magical wait bag on the right side of her hip, carrying many of her magical items and trinkets. She also often has carrying around her laptop bag by her side as well.

After taking Silver as her Familiar, a tattoo of a desert rose appeared on back of her right hand. Afterward, she decided to decorate her right arm with thorny vines to compliment it.

## Powers & Practice

Glory utilizes a unique hybrid-Practice of technomancy and goblin magic. She specializes in breaking into places, creating chaos and havoc, and getting out as fast as she can without getting caught.

### Goblins

Glory has the authority to command goblins, should she successfully bind them or defeat them in combat. She preferably utilizes gremlins and other tech-focused goblins in her Practice. Her main right-hand goblin is Shatbraggart, a goblin who communicates through a text-to-speech device.

Among her arsenal of goblin tricks, tools, and weapons, are:

* **Canteen of Piss:** Drink up and gargle the sour liquid inside to be spitting out goblins a surprisingly-long distance. Do not swallow.
* **Shitshotter:** A goblin that can turn likes to eat anything she can get her hands off. Can turn into a shotgun that belches out everything she's eaten in a big blast.
* **Cockshocker:** A sadistic little gremlin. Can turn into a cattle prod that can painfully shock enemies.

### Technomancy

Glory uses a wide variety of tools to unlock doors and openings, as well as manipulate the environment around her to get into places that are hard to reach. Some tools and tricks up her sleeve in this compartment are:

* **Blackout Jammer:** Standard technomancy tool. Can shut electronics and deceives in the area around her.
* **Catphisher:** By utilizing an artificial Other born from an alternate online identity, Aubrey can temporarily overlay an entirely new identity over herself.

## History

### Pre-OMO

#### Childhood

Aubrey Schlotwitz was born in now unknown town, somewhere along the US-Canadian border. When she was young, her mother and father got into a messy divorce, resulting in her witnessing her father have mental breakdown, She blamed her mother and her lawyer for this event.

When she was 13, Aubrey met Hoppie, a young Todd with a focus on sweets and candies. She temporarily became her Barney to trash another girl's birthday party in revenge for not inviting her. She stomped on the girl's cake and smooshed it against her face, and also bit the girl's father hard enough to draw blood. She turned back into a human again after those events, but she and Hoppie still kept in contact with each after years long.

#### Awakening

Aubrey is a Wild Practitioner, having been Awakened with the assistance of goblins. At some point after her Awaekneing, she met and bound Shatbraggart, a goblin who lost his tongue and his mind. She taught him how to use a computer and technology so that he can communicate again, restoring his mind to *mostly* the same. He is very loyal to Aubrey due to her help.

#### The MerryMakers

When she was 15, Aubrey left her home to pursue and focus on her Practice. She eventually met a group of online Practitioner known as "The MerryMakers" whom would talk about and occasionally go after certain dangerous Others and situations to help people. She was introduced to this group by Technomancer Stella Lawson Myers, who mentored her and inspired her to take technomancy and try and combine with goblins. Stella taught her much about the Practice, but left out some very key and important things, such as the understating the consequences of being Forsworn to her.

The night before he left, Aubrey lost her virginity to Silver's brother, Brian Woods. Heartbroken by this, she sought refuge in Stella's arms. The two soon became lovers from then on.

At one point, Aubrey participated in a raid against a minor Deus ex Machina, a digital god. During the battle, she secretly stole a keyboard that was involved in the god's creation. Unbeknownst to her, however, the keyboard contained a fragment of the Deus ex Machina that escaped from the battle. But, unfortunately for the digital god, Aubrey at the time was working creating an Implement that could balance her Technomancy and Goblin Practice. So, she placed the keyboard deep in the Warrens so that it would become permeated with the essence of a goblin.

She then retrieved the keyboard from the Warrens after three years. In that time, a large and powerful goblin had been slayed near where the keyboard was hidden, and its essence had leaked into the keyboard, corrupting the digital god inside. Over those three years, the Deus ex Machina's sheer rage and anger against Aubrey for being left in the Warrens had grew and simmered, waiting for the day it would be freed so it can finally enact its revenge on her.

Collapse

When she was 18, the MerryMakers had collapsed and gone their separated ways as a group. Aubrey and Stella kept in contact afterward, up until Stella had betrayed her. She then spent the better part of two years hunting after Stella Lawson Myers.

### Greenesville

#### The Bounty

After two years of failing to capture Stella, Glory, depressed and lonely, and posted the bounty for Stella Lawson Myers on the original OMO forums in order to relieve herself of the burden. But, to her surprise, a group of Practitioners came together with her to set a trap to hunt down Stella Lawson Myers, proclaiming themselves as the Tiny Alliance.

#### The Hunt

Glory and the Tiny Alliance set a trap for Stella in the small California town of Greenesville. They summoned Lord Grey II, a Fae Lord, to pursue and chase Stella into their trap in Greenesville. After a long and brutal battle against her forces and theirs's, Stella was captured in their trap, and they begun to work on destroying her Demesne's (FreakParade's) Connections to the world to push into the Abyss.

But, before they could finished, Stella had escaped from their trap, and returned into FreakParade to counter them severing its Connections. Glory led one last assault into FreakParade in order to distract her just long enough that the outside team could push the Demesne into the Abyss. They were all able to escape in time before the Demesne could fall, but so did Stella.

### Lord Grey's Seeds

After Greenesville, the Tiny Alliance had learned that Lord Grey had planted seeds all over the world during his pursuit of Stella Lawson Myers all over the world. These Seeds would eventually bloom into gates into his domain, the Grove of Nameless Stars, giving him free reign and access into the Human World.

Glory, outraged at being manipulated by someone she trusted once again, aggressively pursued vengeance against him. She came up with a plan to go into the Abyss to retrieve the Stella Myers archives of being pursed by Lord Grey, in order to bypass having to bargain with him for the locations of the Seeds. They all began to make great efforts to prepare for their journey into the Abyss.

Also after the battle, Glory claimed her van, a converted stolen Fox News Van, into her Demesne-Implement. She also proclaimed in argument against protests of doing so that she would travel to New York to challenge Fox News themselves for their claim over the van. She also made a trade with Silver, where she gave her a teddy bear that would help her gain an audience with an Alabaster, and she would get an Glamour-drowned apple from Silver's family tree. Glory planted the seeds of the apple in alchemically-enhanced soils that was from the Warrens. The tree grew up at an alarming pace, and the goblins around it gleefully named it "Erectus"

The Alliance's preparations for the Abyss were all made naught, however, as Charles Landis struck a deal with Lord Grey to contain all the seeds into one of the points of his "Naming of the Star" ritual, though failed to tell any of the other members of what he was doing.

### Stella's Counterattack

#### Brian Hunt

Glory travelled to New York and contested her claim of her van to the CEO of Fox News, Suzanne Scott. She frightened her into admitting her ownership of the van, and after she done, allowed a horde of goblin to wreak havoc all through the Fox News building. She and her van then became wanted suspects for this case in New York City,

While preparing for the trip to the Abyss, still unknown that Landis had already solved that issue, Glory and Silver investigated an old storage unit in New York City that contained many items that the MerryMakers had collected and stored over the years. There, they learned of Brian's relation to one another. Glory learns that Brian was actually Silver's brother, and Silver learns that Glory knew and travelled with her brother. Glory also learns that Silver is looking for her brother to sever his blood ties with the family, so that she can continue on the traditions of her family. and decided to go and try and find him together. But, before they could leave the storage unit, they were confronted by Stella and her Familiar.

She offer them to them a deal where they agree to a ceasefire, and they will work together against Lord Grey. She also said that if they refused, she would go after Brian, and give a fate worst than death if they decided to continue the conflict between them. They refused her deal. She then tried to attack, but Silver pulled her and Glory into Dark Fall before she or Kenny could reach them. There, they then ran away from a giant snake there, and successfully made their way back onto the streets of New York City.

Glory and Silver tried to go head back to the van, hurriedly running to find Brian and stopping Stella getting to him. But, before they could reach the van, they were confronted by the police, who recognized Glory and her van from witness accounts of the Fox News incident. Silver was able to talk them down, and convince them to leave them alone. The police left them alone, but when they were alone, one of the police officers attacked them, revealing themselves as a Practitioner assassin that was sent by Stella after them. Glory and Silver fought them, but were slowly starting to lose. Silver then invoked the favor of the Alabaster, taking them into its Realm, where they were finally safe.

When they were finally gone from the assassin, Silver took Glory to her house, which was somewhere between the Human World and Fae Realm. They rested there and ate, where Glory accidentally gainsayed Silver's entire household. Glory got a call for them goblins in her van, and learned that they actually were able to get the van free from the police custody, and were currently on the run from them. But, in the process of escaping from the police, both Yoobie and Erectus had escaped from the confines of the van.

Glory and Silver travelled through the Fae Realm to retrieve the goblins and the van, where they almost again confronted by the assassin offer, whose name they learned was Ted Lowry. They escape from Ted, and Silver leads them to where Brian is hidden, in a star-shaped city called Naarden, in the Netherlands. They travel to Naarden, where they meet Skitter, a newer member of the Tiny Alliance, and a body-snatching Heartless.

They soon make their way to Brian's house, where Stella is already inside, waiting for them. Brian, not knowing of Stella's true nature, invites them all in. They all talk, and as discussion starts heating up, Glory's goblins crash the van in the house, knocking Stella back. Stella summons dozens of robotic spiders to attack them, and Skitter fights both her and her Familiar as Glory and Silver try to carry Brian into the van and drive away.

Soon, they all make it back onto the road, and head for the Fae Realm gate they first travelled through. But, their pathway is blocked by Ted, his Others, and a destroyed bridge in front of them. Silver severs her blood ties with her brother, using that essence to to rebuild the bridge, while Glory and her goblins fight against Ted. In the process of the battle, Silver is partially-afflicted with a Black Dog curse, and Glory became heavily injured. They only successfully escape as Skitter summoned the Wild Hunt to occupy Ted and his group as they make their escape.

They all escape back into the Fae Realm, where they all talk and and try to recover. Silver calls Landis, who gives them a place to stay for the time being away from Stella. They all make their way to Indianapolis, where they can rest, recover, and hide away from Stella for the time being.

#### Familiarship

Landis and Silver talk, and he reveals that he also experiencing Stella's counterattack against him. She has set a number of minor Others against his ritual location and construction places. He speculates that it may be a diversion for something else, but for what he does not yet know. He also reveals to her that he struck a deal with Lord Grey about the seeds.

Afterward, Silver then participates in the battle against King Leer, but was cursed during the battle into being a giant wolf made up of silver blades. She manages to retain her human form using Glamour, but she notices something strange is going on with herself. The night of when she returns from the battle, she reveals to Glory of Landis's actions, which she responds to in anger. She decides to go and confront Landis herself, but Silver stops her. They fight, with Glory successfully escaping to her van and driving toward Landis's home to confront him. Meanwhile, back at the house, her goblins mock Silver, and throw shit at her, slowly breaking apart her Glamour.

Glory and Landis talk in his home. They reconcile, And Landis promises to always tell her info that he believe that may be relevant to her interests. Landis reveals that Stella has attacked his son with some kind of Other. Glory diagnoses that he is being slowly drained away by a Trojan Worm, a digitally-based doppelganger. Glory is about to leave to get the others, but Landis then suddenly remembers that he does have a piece of information that Glory would like to know about. He quickly reveals it to her, and she laughs at how close that was, saying that she would've tried to call him Forsworn if he wasn't careful. She then leaves his home, not realizing his anger at her comments toward her.

Glory drives through the Warrens in her van, making her way to Silver's location. When she get there, she accidentally hits Silver with the van, bursting out of the ground and sending her flying into the air. With all her Glamour broken, and already angry at Glory, Silver ferally chases her down in the van. Glory hurriedly drives away, and searches around Silver's bag for a solution. She finds several bottles of emotions, and opens the back of the van while it's still driving to throw them at her. But, the van hit a bump, and she accidentally drops a majority of the emotions onto Silver.

Silver collapses on the spot, overwhelmed by the all the emotions flowing into her. Glory runs over to her, panicked, thinking she's killed her. In her despair, she hugs Silver, impaling herself on her bladed form. Silver wakes up, alive, and see's Glory having impaled herself on her blades. Glory collapses, and Silver cries for help. Hare then shows up, and pulls them into the Alabaster Realm, preventing them from dying from their wounds.

As they talk in the Alabaster Realm Silver then reveals what is happening to her: she's turning into a Faerie, and due to her strong associations with silver, the precious metal, it's highly likely she would end up in the Winter Courts. Silver considers allowing herself to fall into Winter, but Glory argues against it. The Alabaster offers to cut out the Fae part of her out, but Silver fears of losing her shapeshifting. After much discussion, Glory then comes up with a dangerous but ballsy solution: make Silver her Familiar.

Silver argues against it, and almost kills Glory in the process, but with heartfelt, if sappy, speech, and some help with the Alabaster, they agree to go along with it. They swear oaths and promises to one another, their bond enforced by the Alabaster, and Silver becomes Glory's Familiar.

#### Worm Hunt

Glory and Silver return to the Human World, where they recover. Silver heads over into the Fae Realm to return an item to Lord Grey, while Glory tries to remove the Trojan Worm from Landis's son, Justin. But, before she could so, Stella interferes with them. She then proposes a challenge to them and Silver: Find the Worm's manifested physical-form before she does, and they can restore Justin to his original Self, and she will leave him, his family, and the rest of Indianapolis alone. But, if they fail, and Justin will be faded, and she will do the same to the rest of Landis's family as well.

Landis begins to make preparations for the Worm Hunt, while Glory waits for Silver to returns. She does, and as they talk, they make a bet of who can sell the most of their favorite drink, tea or soda, to prove whichever is superior. Silver also chastises Glory for threatening to Foreswear Landis, and Glory reveals that she didn't know the karmic consequences of Forswearing, just that on lost their ability to Practice. Sher reveals to her that Stella taught her much of what she knows about the Practice, and Silver explains to her how Foreswearing actually works. Glory is distraught, realizing that Stella was misleading far earlier in their relationship than she had originally thought, and Silver comforts her in her pain. Alornerk arrives as well, and Glory secretly listens in on their conversation using her headphones, learning that Silver is working on trying to lay claim over Seamus.

Eventually, the Worm manifests, and the Tiny Alliance heads out to get it. They eventually track it into the mansion one of Landis's rivals, a Goblin King, in the middle of his birthday party. They sneak into the party, but are soon discovered by the party's host, Callan Wesley. They split up, with Glory keeping Callan's attention and fighting against his horde of goblins. With Silver's help, they were able to get away from Callan and his army, and Landis was able to bind the Worm.

Glory, Silver, Alornerk and Landis escaped from Callan's mansion and escape back into the van, just barely escaping his horde and Stella's summoned forces. One the ride back, Glory apologizes to Landis for threatening to Foreswear. She then exiles herself from Indiananapolis, stating that she will not set foot back into the city without Landis's permission. She also decides that it's better for him to no longer be involved with the Alliance's activaties anymore, and cuts him from the team. He agrees, and as he heads back into his home, Glory weeps quietly in Silver's arms.
