[quote=Dark Jack]I am privately still trying to work out some kind of justification as to just why consuming another being's heart would increase one's magical powers, though... It makes sense with harvesters, because they are fundamentally different from mortals and don't have souls as mortals do. The heart is the seat of the Seeds only, which is a part of the soul separate from its magical energy... I'll have to think of something there.[/quote] Doesn't necessarily have to be eating the heart (as that more specifically has only been a thing due to harvesters somehow gaining more strength for it), I think; there just has to be something to stand in for the voice-consumption aspect present in his own canon. They do indeed tend to eat their dead since they believe it will give them the strength of the dead one ... and partly because they require a lot of food to sustain themselves and cannot afford waste. Er ... yeah. Would something else be more easily explainable?

[quote=Dark Jack]And it was decided that they would not have afterlives? Because of their believing that they won't have them or because they are somehow fundamentally incapable of having them? [/quote] They are fundamentally incapable of having afterlives. "Once you check out, that's it," as ASTA put it. 

[quote=Dark Jack]Eating a heart could indeed be considered acceptable by some cultures, but unfortunately this is not the case in Rodoria... or most of civilized Reniam, for that matter. And since the growth of one's Seeds of Good and Evil is affected by others' perception of what you have done the act would have a very strong evil tint to it there, and even in lands where it was considered non-evil it would still cause some growth simply due to the general ethical tendency of the Plane as a whole. [/quote]A moral overlay that strict kind of bothers me, to be fair... And I think it [existence of seeds of good and evil] was one of the main reasons ASTA went from being unsure about afterlives to "Nope. They definitely don't have them." The same, I have simply ignored the seeds in actual character writing aside of the demonspawn and as a gimmick that determines your afterlife. Since people simply[i] do not[/i] change in the way the seeds would suggest they should. 

Oh, and we were thinking Legion/ASTA could let their characters meet and do some plot, and Aemoten&co would be picking them up right [i]before [/i]Zerul, whenever they get to that point?

Edit: Is it Jack or Nessa in the collab?
