Ashaya's Redemption
Pink Playtpus Club, Prism Pole Partnership
Ashaya's Redemption is a sanctuary and charitable organization for women and queer youth in distress. It was founded by Elenwe Heskiloth, a paladin and rumored avatar of Ashaya, the Demon Goddess of Wild Magic.
Though Ashaya is known for fickle moods and chaotic behavior, her mortal follower's influence gradually bent her towards compassion through liberation, if not exactly actual goodness.
The best pole dancers in the Zone? You'll find 'em at the Pink Platypus Club, run by El, the Exalted of Dreams themself. Don't show up with the wrong attitude, though. It's strictly a "look but don't touch" kinda place. I've seen more than one idiot lose a hand to El's Bedlam Blade!
During their adventuring career, the selenelion elf Elenwe Heskiloth transformed from a criminal to an agent of the Zone, from an unknown runaway to the redeemer of a noble elven house. They flowed between roles, and genders, just like the chaotic goddess they served.
Throughout it all, El continually practiced the art of pole dancing. They treated it as a discipline, devotion, and a martial art. Now, in retirement, El teaches dance at Ashaya's Redemption, the sanctuary and temple built in their goddess' name. Those seeking freedom from abuse or bond servitude find refuge there, protected by El's Blade of Bedlam.
The main temple, Ashaya's Redemption, is located in the Silver Gate District of Tower Town where El themself still teaches. Many who pass through the sanctuary become performers and protectors themselves. They spread Ashaya's chaotic mercy through the Zone. Some even open their own "Pink Platypus Clubs" in the Zone, the Sovranty, or wherever Ashaya has influence.
You can tell that someone's been to the Platypus if they have glitter on their skin, a lighter heart, and an empty wallet!
Those girls and guys and in-betweens are so good! They're like a athlete! Lola Carly always go to the Intra-Zone Pole Dance Competitions! I sit in front! Lola Carly always have snacks for the dancers so they have lots of energy!
Yes, yes, and yes! I love the notion of transforming pole dancing into a martial art, I love that you've chosen Pink Platypus Club for the name, and I adore that last sentence about how you can tell someone's been to the club.
This is the real retirement plan that one of my players wanted for his character! He reminded me of it when I was looking for an article. I just had the honor (and fun) of writing up the idea!
