[quote=@shylarah]Torn between Drox and Tyhrien. Emma falls somewhere between the two, because while she does like playing hero, she's not necessarily honorable at all times. And while she's a protector/defender, she likes doing great deeds as well. Advice, anyone?[/quote] I would have to know the character more in-depth to give proper advice, but let me try to expand on pathos fraternities. These are large factions that have people who interpret their core principles in their own way. Not every member of Tyhrien is going to be a valiant knight— they might be a hiresword who values honor or a code of ethics, they might be a craftsman who doesn’t try to grift someone out of their gold because they value their word, and so on. Tyhrien means honor so people are willing to live by that pathos however they see fit. [quote=@shylarah] [@Gowi] Wait, so avatar creation is automatic, without the ability to customize basic traits at all? And is everyone human? there's no species stuff, and choosing an appearance/gender? ...Then how did that one gal get kitty ears? [/quote] I had a friend ask me if he could be an anthropomorphic turtle and given the framework of how I envisioned Pariah I had to say no, so I wanted to be consistent with that. I already explained how the “cat ears” can be explained away by psychological desires and so forth since a lot of this RP’s background is pseudo-philosophy and pseudo-science. The idea is individuals will be generally human but Pariah’s framing as a hypostasis sort of analyzes people and interprets it differently. Hanako does not see herself impaired and someone who is impaired differently might not imagine themselves as such due to psychological longing or identification— identification could possibly even divert gender but nobody has tried that.
