LEADER ESME

[admin]

LEADER ESME and her gym trainers are the gravekeepers of Di Manes. Most of them, including Esme, are mediums. While many mediums are sensitive souls, Esme is made of steel and her words cut like a knife. She fights fiercely, some would say cruelly, but only because she has no intention of gifting a badge to the unworthy.

"I can speak with dead, yes. I can call up your loved ones. I won't. What do you mean, why not? It's a fucking stupid idea, that's why not."

Esme had few living friends growing up. She instead had the company of the dead, some of them sorrowful, others filled with rage, and then those who were only bored. She took their counsel before she learned that was unwise, and now she regards herself as a zookeeper of sorts. She makes sure the ghosts are fed and watered, and she smacks them if they try to leave their tomb.

She can be downright nasty, impatient and belittling, but she's all about tough love. She means to push a trainer forward, not push them down--but if they go down and don't get back up, then they weren't made of the right stuff anyway.

Typically, Esme refuses any requests to speak to the dead. She has held seances before though, always for important causes, and it's said that she's an unparalleled medium in the region.
