Anyone with discord can make the channel, though it would be a bit weird if anyone but the GM made it.

@vide - I'm only concerned about the nature of his powers creating a non-consent situations among players. Such as, "Strong willpower lessens the effect, but in time, it surrenders to its influence." So basically even within time, the player will have to react without consent of the situation. Since I want this to be a fun environment and not one filled with hostility (OOC anyways), I'm sort of worried about that in particular.

And you said that your character was going to be similiar to Alexander, though it seems as though you have gone through some revisions, though keep the whole lost archipelago but at the very least changed the name and dropped the life conduit ability.

I thought Kaite and Alex were good foils, and that is still true, but Mikeal is the antithesis of Alex. And unless you want to tell me otherwise, I am going to presume that deamons and their magics are similiar enough to demons that Alex's magic would burn him and weaken his magic and abilities, though it wouldn't react as strongly as if were demonic magic.

To clarify, while I think it is safe to say that life magic innately has a strong negative reaction when interacting with death (necrotic) magic, raw life magic might have some negative effect when it encounters demonic magic, but with his rebuke darkness, it is him specifically channeling the energy and altering it in such a way that it will disrupt demonic energy. And other than the fact that demons bad, there is a reason why he would specifically learn to disrupt demonic influence, and it is as part of his standard training in Rutan magicks, and is as spiritual as it is practical. Though, Alex wouldn't know the reason, other than well, demons bad and I was told to learn this.

Oops, forgot to put something important, it's passive and it's not really used for anything. Actually, it just makes the person show what they want the most (or at least what they want at the moment) and I though having that will make for some interesting situations. Like if they've been with Mika for days or so, they suddenly blurt out what they think and feel about him (or someone around). Would it be better if I make it so that after their will got overcome, the power will need some time to affect them again? Sorta giving them an immunity for some time?

Basically, it's a truth serum in aura form, really, now that I think about it.
Edit: By making it based on how hungry for emotion/memory, it would lessen the instances of his passive power affecting others. Would that one work? Add that to the temporary immunity I mentioned above too.


@Leotamer Yeah, I've decided to forego those traits from my character and I was having a hard time simplifying it. And it's fine, I do think the Htrx will be able to be harmed by Alex's magic, they are still demons after all, though lacking the fundamental evil of the ancient demons. If Mika is fine to go, I'm sure we'll learn more about him and his kind and how they're created. I think knowing that will certainly give explanations why they're affected negatively by life magic.

Also, it'll prove interesting if Alex would discover not all demon-like beings are bad and give suffering, sort of in a gray area instead. In any case, I'm just waiting for Mika to be balanced out and have no issues then I'll jump in.

@vide - Sorry, busy day and this slipped my mind. I'm not sure you can do any level of 'balancing' to justify doing something without a player's consent. I mean, even attacking someone randomly, if you give them a chance to respond to said attack, you aren't taking their freedom away. With that ability, you're forcing them into a corner, so to speak.

Though, at least in Rutan dogma, which is where Alex would learned about demons, all demons are dangerous, but not all demons are evil. Just for an explain, a mindless demon that would just want to destroy everything is dangerous, but isn't evil in the same way a hurricane isn't evil.

It also helps that they are nature worshipers, instead of deistic worshipers. They don't have a god or gods that set opposed to demons. And to them, darkness is as natural as it is light, it is just dangerous and they probably have lots of legends about demons doing bad things.

Okay, I understand @Lyla. How about making it more like touch telepathy? It won't work unless their in physical, skin to skin (or metal, idk) contact? But then the person will sense it working inside them - depending on how aware they are of themselves, surroundings, and magic itself - and can cut off the process of pulling their desires and fixations by ceasing contact. It give characters time to react, whether to avoid being forced to expose their wants or carelessly fall into giving them away.

Edit: And I'll remove that pesky bit of surrendering through time.

@Leotamer That is good then. I'd like to also explore the difference of the Htrx and the ancient demons later on, when some of those demons escape from the archipelago. Of course no one knows they still exist and I don't have an exact lore regarding them yet. Although I think Alex and Mika won't get along well, they won't be enemies but they just won't get along.

@vide - That is acceptable. The only other concern I have is try to make sure extraction won't be used in a hostile way without a player's consent. Meaning, at least ask if they're okay with such a scene if it goes down that route. Otherwise I'll approve him, just be careful not to cross lines.

Oh sure! I'll ask them in the OOC whenever I do it! I hope they agree cuz some situations would be interesting if extractions happens. Oh dear, why did that sound like Mika was a dentist?

May I move Mika now to the Character Tab @Lyla after the edits?
