Gosh darn, I’m just a simple country boy lost in this here big city. Can you show me ‘round, please? That would be so delightful of you. Nipple piercings are all the rage in the Victorian Era, so much so that Queen Vicky herself is said to have had hers done. This fad is hardly confined to the Empire, though. Chicago is one of the cities of the world, representing the vaunted power of the United States, decadence, and immense wealth. The Orphan known as Natali Kinzer has crafted these little baubles to help with his plan to ingratiate himself into Chicago’s high society. His southern Texas charm, and magick, has helped make him well liked and appreciated by many men who find themselves drawn into his orbit. Much of his persona is pure bravado, but it’s a brave face he carefully constructs, and it seems to be working.

These nipple piercings normally come in the form of small golden hoops, the most common style of piercing for the day. However, they can take many forms and be placed in many locations. That said, to work, they must be hidden by day-to-day clothing and must be worn as a pair. When activated, the wearer’s self-confidence and sense of purpose are reinforced. For every success on the activation roll, they gain 1 success for any roll in a scene, as if they spent a Willpower point for that roll. This is an elegant Effect.
