Boca? Who is Boca? Boca who? What?

Ivana Boritsi is the beautiful daughter of Camille Dilisnya a very loving woman. Her vile father had incestuous desires for his daughter and murdered her mother. When he found out that the daughter he longed for had a lover he made up some magical poisonous lipstick that only effected the receiver of a kiss and she wound up killing her lover in this way. With her protector out of the way he tried raping his daughter but forgot in his perverse desire that she still had the lipstick on and when he tried to force a kiss out of her he died. After his death she invented a potion that heals with a kiss. She has used this on more than one occasion to heal those badly injured. Being only one woman she can't do it all herself so she created the ermordenung which gives them the same power. Opposing them is the puritanical Church of Ezra which feels it was man's lot in life to suffer.

Her cousin Ivan Dilisnya is a man of refined tastes and has been since a child. He delights in sharing his artistic talents with others. A consummate actor he has sponsored many plays for charity in which he is one of he actors. He was a fine lad from birth, often giving his desserts to the various servants so they could enjoy it themselves.

The one thorn in his side was his sister Kristina who was a vile woman but one who was able to hide it from Ivan. She wound up marrying a rich man and having a kid. The vile woman was killed by Ivan when he tried stopping her from killing her own child who she though was a "Waste of money" since any money spent on the kid couldn't be spent on her.

The two of them joined forces after the Grand Conjunction and always watch each other's backs. The Church of Ezra now has to face two powerful opponents . However the powerful church has been more than able to hold its own.

From what I wrote a wicked theocracy ruled by the tyrannical Church of Ezra. Think of the Puritans on crack with major corruption on the side.

Behind closed doors the higher ups in the clergy are completely corrupt and anything goes. It is an LE church where the high priests are totally corrupt and are straight laced in public but hedonistic in private .

If you can't make fun of yourself then you'd best keep your lips shut. ;)
