Biography

Pre-Desideratum: Blood Bonds

Rose was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, to her parents, Walter and Clover Riley. As a child, she watched how much her parents loved each other. She wanted that love someday as well, and she had an amazing childhood. She always picked flowers and loved learning about plants. However, everything changed instantly one day. In her early teens, her mother had told her goodnight and kissed her before closing the door. Rose had no idea that would be the last time she ever saw her mother. Hours later, her father burst into the room. He held her, apologizing. He kept repeating that because of him, her mother left and would never come back. Her entire life changed. Walter had lost his job at the precinct, and with Clover gone, he turned to alcohol. Over weeks, she lost respect for her father, and after a year, she began to dislike him. She began studying harder at school and became independent at home, but her father began to become a local celebrity for the wrong reasons. He would get drunk and yell about vampires taking over the world. He even spent time as a suspect in the alleged homicide of Clover, but without a body and no proof, there were no charges filed. But, these events did have an effect on Rose.

She became more introverted and shy. The high school kids made fun of her, and her father did little else but drink. They eventually lost their house and wound up living in a small, dirty apartment. She filled out grants and the day after she graduated high school- an event that Walter did not even attend, she moved out and started at the local university. She excelled at botany due to her passion and childhood, and eventually graduated. While working on a master’s degree, she was hired at a lab and made a name for herself. After obtaining her final degree, she was quickly approached by representatives for the massive biotech company, MedUSA. They offered her an incredible amount of money to aid in some of their research and she accepted. One thing that her supervisor was pushing was a way to help plant life grow in arid climates. At that same time, she learned of a woman named Siri Solen.

At another lab on the west coast, Dr. Solen had discovered a protein called NGA1 that controls the transcription of a key gene that ultimately allows plants to survive after periods of drought. The discovery meant that by controlling this protein, plants could effectively withstand long periods without water- if someone forgets to water their plants for a couple of days, their foliage would easily survive. Excited, Rose quickly contacted Siri, asking all about her research and the scientists quickly became friends. Rose and Siri chatted online often, when suddenly, one day Siri seemed to disappear. She was working also for MedUSA at the time in Portland, Oregon, and Rose approached her supervisors asking if Siri had found a new place of employment. They told her that she had been killed in a lab accident that had destroyed the entire facility, and Rose was heartbroken. She turned inward as she had done as a child, and focused only on her work. She had been put on a new project to try and mix plant and animal DNA.

Of Sex and Souls: Noir Nights

In Of Sex and Souls: Noir Nights, Rose is just getting back in contact with her father. At first she was a little happy to see that he had not been drinking, but soon he was talking to her about vampires and claimed that he had seen Clover again. Rose could not stand to hear that nonsense again, but then Walter fell silent and she watched him touching himself inappropriately over his pants. She yelled at him and made her way back inside. She did not realize it at the time, but the succubus, Dionyza, was watching her and her father, and the demoness had used her lust magicks on him to force him to do such an act in front of her. She would soon discover that demons, monsters, and vampires were all real, and that the world in which she lives is unlike she ever thought.
