@Onigumo, I have already replied to this suggestion. Thank you though, nonetheless.
@Devil, I do appreciate your concern, again. Ultimately the choice is @Nafear's to make.
@Liliya, I, for one, am very excited to see what you crank out from that imagination machine of yours (that would be my 'I worked in elementary for several years' language showing through... Sorry)! All-in-all, you have managed to spur me into looking for my old WoD books. Goodness... This is going to be a trip.
@Devil, while I appreciate the suggestion, I have no intention of removing anything I have taken the time to craft on Aleigha. As I pointed out in my reply back to @Nafear, I enjoy the aesthetic of this character, and the power in question applies to that aesthetic just as much as anything else on the character sheet. I have no qualms with you, or anyone else for that matter being concerned about this being an abusive or "meta-game" power. You are by all rights within you right to feel that way. I have seen those instances myself... Even fallen victim to them. Regardless, I am always of the opinion to trust first that whoever I am pitted against will act within the realm of fairness and reason with any one piece of equipment or any one particular ability their character possesses. Do I expect others to be of this same mindset...? Hardly, as we all have our own experience with this sort of situation.

@Liliya, WoD... That is something I have not heard in a really, really long time. The support, again, is appreciated! And well, if you do talk to me like we are old friends, I will likely just respond in kind... Probably won't even notice!
@Doc Doctor, I definitely would not mind going in that direction in @Nafear felt better about doing something along those lines. Additionally, @Liliya is correct about where this entire tournament is taking place. There is no reason that the ability could just not function - it really would have zero impact on Aleigha's overall performance, considering that she does not rely on the ability as something to give her any sort of reliable advantage in combat.

I was even talking to my wife last night... Because there is no control, Aleigha could feel overwhelming heat in one situation (or fight), but nothing with fire actually spring up until the next. The "skip" in time is rarely a set number of minutes or seconds... Could be hours, sometimes even days. It really is mostly for aesthetics and the occasional plot point during a fight... If anything.

In any case... Can't detect sarcasm from @Liliya or not... For much the same reasons of my sleep schedule being all kinds of flubbed up. Though the overall support is very appreciated!
@Nafear,

I appreciate the concern. Although I am new to this site, I am familiar (extensively so) with the concept of playing within the realm of reason and fairness. Please note that in the description of that particular ability, I detail that Aleigha is not capable of controlling the Tepryll Sight. Additionally, I did remark that it takes centuries for most Feigh'Druma to even be able to obtain occasional insight into what may come and use that insight accordingly, and Aleigha is only just over a century old. Nevertheless, I can understand where you are coming from - ultimately you would be taking a chance with any one individual entering your tournament to play fairly, regardless of the abilities or equipment their respective character may have. I have done enough judging between combatants to know that there are some fairly wild instances that sprout up seemingly out of thin air. Will the initial post reflect your decision to eliminate any form of precognitive ability, for future reference?

In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to look over my character. I have no intention of persuading you to adjust your opinion here - despite pointing out specific details that may help do just that. Aleigha is simply a character I spent more than a few hours on... And her aesthetic is what appeals to me more than anything, and I fear changing anything may impact that negatively. If you decide to stick to your guns, I do not fault you. I just do not have the time right now to build a new character. Though, if you do drum up enough interest, I would be happy to offer my time to assist you in judging!
I would be interested in joining as well... Though, I would need someone to examine my character and give me an idea at what tier she sits at. I designed her currently to rest at the lower end, though can make the necessary adjustments to her equipment and augmentations to bring her up to par with the setting. Just let me know:


Oh my... I had not taken that into consideration, @Paraffin. I'll need to sit down and think about that... Going to definitely be a fun challenge in terms of describing things!
@Paraffin, she is definitely unique! I was considering going toward the heavy end of healing, but decided against that path.
So where does that put the count now...? Two Jedi Knights, a Jedi, a Dark Knight, a Mandalorian Mercenary, and a Sith Acolyte (Seriously, @Paraffin, that character looks entertaining)... And we've still got a few more to go. Really think this is going to be very well rounded and a lot of fun.
