Meyer Leopold Duvall, commonly known as Duvall, is a character in Sangfielle. His class is the Deep Apiarist.
Appearance
Duvall is a human around average height, who looks like shit. He has fancy clothes, but clearly they were bought for a much healthier man, as he has lost a lot of weight and hasn't had the money and time to have them all replaced.
In Episode 22, his bugs replaced his entire body (or most of it) with wax. While this process was too gross to be shown onscreen, it doesn't particularly seem to have altered his appearance: he looks slightly less uncanny valley than a very good waxwork, other than with some tearing at the joints.
Background
Duvall is from one of the few remaining human aristocratic lines in the Throne of Dominion, and has enough older siblings that he inherited little from this. He came to Eastern Folly as a wannabe adventurer/paranormal researcher a few years ago, with the money from some uncle; this all went on funding his expedition to the Sleeping City, which was technically successful. Duvall made it in to that strange location while it was not yet open, and may have spent some time there, but its defenses activated and filled him with bugs. Existentially threatened, Duvall returned to Blackwick at some point, now intending to determine the meaning of the self: whether he was free-willed and controlling the bees, or the bees were controlling him.
Active Beats
- Meet someone from your old life who's trying to get you to give up on your quest. (minor, current)
- Destroy a Haunt to learn more information about your task. (major, current)
Fallout
- Fascination (Luck): You become obsessed with a strange topic, usually whatever caused the fallout. You must try and learn more about it firsthand if possible. Whenever you attempt to learn more about your weird fascination, roll with mastery. If you have the opportunity to learn about it and you refuse, mark D4 stress to Mind. (Duvall gained this in Episode 12, soon after rolling 44 damage — possibly the greatest single hit in the history of Friends at the Table. Art refuses to ever remove it. Since gaining this fallout, Duvall has consistently rolled absolutely terribly, especially in contrast to Lyke.)
- Déjà Vu/The Life Not Lived: Immediate. Jolyon exists within the world, alive.
