You are a master of EXTREME ROLE PLAYING. You can't get enough of it, or really any game of high stakes and chance. You have persisted with the habit even in spite of your ACCIDENT. But then again, you don't have much choice.
Your lusus is VERY HUNGRY, ALL THE TIME. She can only be appeased by the FLESH OF YOUNG TROLLS. You cloud campaigns for teams of Flarpers, utilizing your abilities for ORCHESTRATING THE DEMISE OF THE IMPRESSSSSSSSIONA8LE. Your victories supply you with treasure, experience points, and SPIDER FOOD.
You are something of an APOCALYPSE BUFF, which is something you can be on Alternia. You are fascinated by end of the world scenarios, and enjoy constructing DOOMSDAY DEVICES for the hell of it. You are drawn to means of DARK PROGNOSTICATION and the advantages they offer, particularly in gaming scenarios. Your abilities in this department were hobbled with the loss of your VISION EIGHTFOLD, and you have since sought alternatives through various BLACK ORACLES. You consult with these ominous globes, but routinely destroy them in frustration over the PUZZLING GUARANTEED INACCURACY of their predictions. Breaking them has developed into a habit BORDERING ON FETISHISTIC, and with each you destroy, you add to an insurmountable stockpile of TERRIBLE LUCK. You have to stop. But addiction is a powerful thing.
Your trolltag is arachnidsGrip and your st8ments tend to 8e just a little 8it overdramaaaaaaaatic.
What will you do?

~ Introduction

Alright. My name's Vriska. Vriska Serket. Don't you forget it!
„
“
Okay, let's walk you through this. You should 8e flattered that a master gamer like me is giving you the full tutorial! I had to read the 8ooks myself. With no help!

You think you're a 8ig hero stopping this dangerous 8itch, right? You can't fix this. No8ody can.

She steps up towards you and you see the cerulean dice appear one at a time between her fingers. The dice are sparkling with cold blue flame. You suddenly feel as though you're going to have a very, very bad time
Holy shit, MSPA Reader. You actually did something.

Ew. Not unless you want to smell like cat piss for weeks and get high off secondhand nip

You grow up with these ideas a8out what you're supposed to do, how you're supposed to 8e. You get handled down in these strict categories. Ta8les in your player's handbook. And you read journals or whatever that say this is a m8sprit, you feel like THIS a8out them. Or you get told oh, THIS is what a rival looks like and then you look at your 8lackdate and it's just an a8solutely repulsive slimy eel who always wants to kiss him and, ew?

~ Vriska talking about her online experiences
“
8ut then there's someone that comes along and none of that stuff makes sense to you. You just like being with her. Or it's not even like, you just, feel like shit makes more sense with her? I used to have a partner. She didn't like it either but she helped either way. Like you, I guess, except she didn't puke when she saw blood. And also not like you at all?
I would say it's like you have this voice in your head saying you're not good enough all the time 8ut she makes it quiet 8ut I actually do have a voice in my head saying I'm not good enough? Saying I was fatter than her, saying I deserved all the things that happened to me... Even when I was 8LEEDING OUT on this floor!

~ Vriska proclaiming her hate towards Spider-Mom/Her Lusus
“
You don't have to 8e alive to make yourself relevant. And you don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero. You just have to know who you are and stay true to that. So I'm going to keep fighting for people the only way I ever knew how.
„
~ Vriska Serket
“
Well, ok yes, you are screwed. And so are we. 8ut so what! Just 8ecause you are going to fail doesn't mean it won't 8e any fun along the way! 8y the looks of things, you have a very exciting 24 hours ahead of you - It'll 8e one hell of a reckoning!

In round two, the Slayer would not be merely compelled, but challenged, if my guess is right. Challenged by one claiming godhood before reaping the prodigious spoils from striking down a formidable endgame foe. One with the guile of a cheater, the luck of a Clover, the hubris of her mentor, and the drive known only to the pathologically competitive. I believe he'd be challenged, yes... but not outmatched. As one who shares the Slayer's source of power, my projection must give him the unambiguous advantage. But even so... while I continue not to be a gambling man, I'm reasonably sure that if I was, I wouldn't bet against her.

This thing is some sort of juju. As I'm sure you know 8y now, jujus are magic items that can do all sorts of things. 8end time and space, trap souls inside them, stuff like that. The more potent jujus tend to 8e pretty versatile. I dou8t even he knew the full extent of its powers. He supposedly got this thing as a 8oon for slaying a very powerful denizen. As if the guy even needed any more sick endgame rewards. That's all I'm gonna say for the moment, since I'm sure everyone is dying to see it 8y now. Only a complete asshole would make us w8 any longer to get a look at this thing.

And with Vriska's sassy flourish of dramatic irony, it suddenly becomes evident to anyone with a brain that we aren't going to see what the treasure is for hundreds, if not thousands of pages.
So why don't we stop wasting everyone's time, shut the lid on this lousy MacGuffin, and be Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer.

Background
Powers and Stats
Tier: 9-A physically. Varies with the Fluorite Octet | 8-A physically. Varies with the Fluorite Octet. High 2-B with the Ultimate Weapon | High 2-B
Combat Speed:Supersonic+ (Can fight against Sgrub monsters) | FTL (Can outspeed Terezi, killed Gamzee before he could fight back) | Extra-Temporal (Can keep up with Bec Noir)
Standard Equipment: Fluorite Octet, rocket boots, numerous 8-Balls and dice | As before (minus her rocket boots), all the luck | Blue Spectral Sword
Intelligence:Gifted (Vriska is incredibly intelligent and capable of forming complex long-term plans to reach her goals, supposedly even masterminding the creation of Bec Noir in the kids' session, though she was in truth partly manipulated by Doc Scratch. She can even create highly complex doomsday devices, though many of them don't work all that well.)
Weaknesses: Vriska is arrogant, glory seeking, and failure intolerant. She also has a hard time conveying her emotions. Is extremely unlucky | As before (Minus being extremely unlucky), if her death is heroic or just, her regeneration will not work
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
The Fluorite Octet: Vriska's weapons of choice, a set of eight eight-sided die that she discovered aboard a ghost ship. When Vriska rolls them, they enact a different result depending on the roll, and even the order that the dice fall in is important to the result. There are 16, 777, 216 permutations of possible values, and the effect of the dice is more powerful the higher the roll. It is implied that for every possible roll, there is a unique effect - though, instead of leaving it up to chance, Vriska can use her powers as a Hero of Light to pick out certain results, twice rolling an "impossibly lucky roll" of eight eights.
Guillotine de la Marquise: Resulting from a roll of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, this roll summons a massive, spectral blue guillotine above Vriska's target that swings down quickly to decapitate them.
Reroll x2: Presumably allows Vriska to reroll the Octet two more times and use the results given by both rolls.
Ancestral Awakening: Vriska's most powerful technique, resulting from an extremely lucky roll of eight eights, which acts as an extremely powerful transformation that allows her to take on the traits of her ancestor, Marquise Spinneret Mindfang, gaining a spectral blue sword and an exponential boost in power that allows her to match even a First Guardian.
