As if you could, honestly, know anything about me from a single interaction, any better than I could know you. I took your opening statement as dismissive - just calling my character concept "fine" doesn't inspire confidence that you actually care. There were plenty of ways to address it, and you choose one that rubbed me the wrong way; I'm free to express displeasure in that.

If my response is rude and makes me a jerk to you, that's fine. It's your right to feel that way. However, it's double standards that you can label me as a jerk and call it there, but I cannot find you to be equally as rude to me. Fact of the matter is: I did address your critique in a longer write up of why I felt that I would be better off with the choices that I did made, and why your suggestions did more harm than good, because I did read the lore several times, and made decisions that I assumed could be discussed more in-depth.

[hider=My Response to Your Critique][hider=First Point: Classifications]Yes, you very much could have clarified this section better. Putting the demons in tiered groups to set threat levels is a fine enough gauge - but that's all it is from the outset. For the sake of time, I'll call Hydrargyrum by her legal name, Mercury, from hereon in.

So, Mercury is a young, weak Demon - classifiable as a Whelp, which states: "[i]The weakest form of demons. Often larval forms of greater beings and young demonic beasts. Possesses no great threat to anyone, save young children.[/i].

That's absolutely perfect for someone of her mental and physical state. Mercury is little more than a childish gremlin with a demonic dream, because the rules state that she has to be nebulously evil for reasons. Making demon blood cookies is pretty evil, and falls in line with the "threat to young children" level of danger she is as a Whelp.

Retroactively stating that Whelps are nothing more than pond scum already does fundamental damage to Mercury, because it forces her to adopt a much higher station, and as a High Demon, she loses the implicitly childish nature of a "larval form of a greater being". It can be said that a baby is the larval form of a toddler, a toddler is the larval form of a child, so on, and so forth - a Whelp, in that context, is just a baby demon, and so, very different from pond scum.

As an adult, so to speak, she loses the narrative potential of having her "evil baking" turned into a potential positive, because she's much too far along her lifespan to claim innocence. This isn't a burgeoning act of evil, but long practiced art.[/hider]
[hider=Second Point: Clan]This section is a lot of asking with little giving, and becomes a Ship of Theseus quandary. Mercury was designed with many of the Blood Demon Clan's traits in mind, and zero of the Eye Demon Clan's.

Her survival is predicated on a deal struck for service to the Maids, in return she can live to keep baking. Mercury has no reason to renege on this deal. Living and Baking is what she wanted out of it; Service is the cost. Blood Demons maintain their deals, by and large, while Eye Demons will always seek a way out, if they so fancy. It would be out of her stated character to be scheming on escaping, when she's living her best life.

Her blood power is based on the Bloodbending from '[i]Avatar: The Last Airbender[/i]' under the umbrella that Blood Demon's control the elements. Eye Demons do not; they control spacial magic - that's not even in Mercury's intellectual wheelhouse. Her blood is toxic, but only so, as she's supposed to be young. She can get children sick, and even result in their death; this is due to the nebulous nature of "[i]...and, their magic often entirely is purely destructive in nature, usually elemental.[/i]" implying that it merely needs to be destructive in some manner.

The retroactive clarification, while helpful, only serves to further damage Mercury. Again, like with her Classification, the written information and what retroactively given tell separate stories. It is directly stated that Mercury bakes with her own blood - nothing good can come of ingesting that, so it's implicit that it must be destructive to the human digestive system, especially for children. In her plea, she states that her Blutterflies can "annoy", which, with the implication that her blood is toxic, means that their touch is likely toxic, and therefore destructive to exposed skin.

Unfortunately, with the retroactive clarification, it removes the implicit danger that she's not learned to control for an explicit danger that she's fully mastered by now.

Additionally, her trade of sweets is a seemingly selfless, one-way transaction. She doesn't ask for compensation or purchase. Her sweets are free, because she wants you to die a sweet death. Again, destructive usage of her magic. Eye Demons would not operate in this manner. They work on a trade-for-trade system of equal value; nothing is free.

And, the last part is simply addressing the minor problem, and where we complete the Ship of Theseus quandary:

By just making Mercury an Eye Demon, because of the vagueness of Blood Demon's being animalistic in appearance, and not insectoid in appearance, when Mercury has to maintain a Human visage to keep from being killed... does that not just remove all traces of the character she was, and make her someone new as a High Demon member of the Eye Demon Clan?[/hider][/hider]
I paid perfectly fine attention, in my opinion, to your lore, I took your suggestions into consideration, and I wrote up my reasons for why I opted for Blood Demon over the others, and what I thought, at the time, Whelp actually was. However, your critique was just telling me what I SHOULD do, and not once asking me why I made the pick I did.

All that said, you've asked that I leave, and I will, but I won't do so without defending myself. Perhaps, I jumped the gun in assuming what I did, but you're reply did not give me much confidence in anything else.

If you'd like to have an actual conversation, I'm more than willing. I find this setting to be interesting, and uncommon to the usual offerings. If your decision is final, however, then good luck in your future endeavors and this RP as well.
