I think Alaira could be stronger than a lot of male wood elves, as women can overpower men if they train their strength more. Of course, if a man and a woman train their strength equal amounts, the man would have the biological advantage.

True but most of Tiien races follow basic rules that bigger is normally stronger as I'm talking about in terms of pure natural power, no training or anything. Free said it was because of a combo of genetics as well as training. No matter how good Alaira's genes are, there's still that slight fact she's a female so her muscles will have difficulty matching up to the same strength level. Males were built to be aggressive while females tend to be built to be more evasive in Nature itself, they after all carry the young and being built for killing would risk the offspring.

@ Free: I know you likes to show off you characters which while I like pride in your characters, you have to take in consideration as well as Alaira's personality. She likes to sport fights on purpose, sometimes just attacking or outright provoking. With most PCs like this, it's best if they can't defeat everyone as it tends to ease the ability to contain them and force them to pick and choose their fights wisely. So while I might allow what Elite said about being stronger then most male Wood Elves, I can't allow her be a pure powerhouse against all none masters at least. Even with training. The fun of these PCs is their strengths and weakness, the later a greater enjoyment then the first.

EliteCommander said
Between Mar and Xyden, well that would be entirely your choice. For humans, sexual dimorphism places women as generally not having as much muscle, but that isn't the case for all creatures. In this case, the rules on that would be entirely up to you.

EliteCommander said Edit: I reread Xyden's bio, and Sundred mentioned that the coils of the ocean Naga were adapted for swimming instead of constricting, so they aren't as strong as those of the Desert Naga. I think Mar might be able to outmatch him there.

Sundered Echo said
However, while Ocean Naga coils aren't adapted for constriction, Xyden is a darn sight bigger than Mar and has heightened strength because of the Myrmidon mutation. They are roughly equal on coil strength, but Xydens arms are stronger than the majority of the cast. He will be up there in the top braket of the arm wrestling contest...

^This...answers your question. :p Female Huntress for his race, maybe and likely. Xyden, no way in hell. And never thought about that Lucius, thank you for that which again re-enforces that belief.

EliteCommander said As for the concept of drugging Mar...I am interested.

I might use you to help...Mar and Athalus along then. It will be fun and rather interesting to see how Ssarak reacts when Mar gets a little snippy over it, hahaa. XD

Fallen wants me all for herself! Yay!

Yes I do… Always! ♥

EliteCommander said
You know what character I would really like to see under the effects of Ssarak's breath? Mar.

Hahahahaa, if you’re really serious and don’t mind waiting EliteCommander… I might have a scene that can allow you to let that scene come true.

Freeshooter92 said
Oh no, any psychomancy effects on Alaira manifest the same; screeching madness. She generally tends to go on a rampage from the pain the psychomantic effects cause her.

*snickers at GM secret…* If you only knew.

Freeshooter92 said
I can't find the Information on the 'Awakened harmony' race.

Any info you need is in Ponders CS…unless there’s another reason you want to know? Something I might not approve of? *raises eyebrow*

Freeshooter92 said
Well, okay, that's the effect if you continue doing it. Most people can stop when they notice the effect it's having, since trying to read Alaira's mind gives you an exceptionally annoying noise instead of thought. However, Ssarak's breath is continuous. He can't just immediately stop it's effect.

Vulnerable to Psychomancy (Though impossible to control, she often breaks down into a gibbering wreck if she can 'feel' someone poking around her mind, and she has an extremely difficult time seeing through illusions)

This was all that was in your sheet. Screaming in your head might not work as a master Psychomancy might just block it off, possibly, and you couldn’t keep that up for long. Not to mention she would be broken down and literally can’t attack during this state of mind. It’s like facing your worst fear that leaves you paralyzed with fear. Lucius might want to verify anything of this…he is the expert after all Freeshooter so what he says goes and should’ve been something you talked to all three, especially him.

Freeshooter92 said
Probably enough to outdo Ssarak in terms of raw power.

No…not at all. Nature AND Genes in real world scream otherwise. Best you can have is stronger than other female Wood Elves…no way she’s stronger than a MALE EYSIRE. By the way, that’s not sexist, that’s facts. Even Mar’s not as strong in raw power as Xyden due to that little fact. Even with the difference of where they lived in mind. She might move better and get more attacks in but once in his coils, he’ll crush all her bones simple as that.

Rtron said
I didn't see Free's post. As I said to him, Fallen is the one who revamped the Esyires, so you'll have to double check with her, but if I'm right about it, Alaira shouldn't be able to simply overpower Ssarak. Hold her own? Yes. She's been fighting for most her life. But in terms of raw power, I don't think so.

They are slightly stronger than humans, fall short of dwarves though by some and she could hold her own. Beat him in strength…not likely.

So that's why you told me to choose Electromancy! Oh you clever Ballen

Indeed, I wanted you all to myself you cheeky and little lovely Player. That and shocking does wonders for Syphis. :p

I'd just like to check and make sure that hallucinogenic breath is alright before changing it. I know Lucius is the one who suggest it, but I'd like to be safe and ask before changing it.

Lucius is the basically the expert in Psychomancy, so his suggestion is best.

Each Gm has their own bloods they revamped, Lucius: Psychomancy, Herbamancy, Geomancy, Demonomancy. (feeling there's another but can't remember), Rtron: Pyromancy, Hydromancy, Cyromancy, Noxomancy, Necromancy, Me: Vitamancy, Aeromancy, Electromancy, and the Ancient magics. The one that did the revamp is usually the best to ask about it, namely in limits in the levels and such.

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

Mar

Irritation and unsettledness weren’t a good thing in a Naga, even worse in a homesick one. It created mistakes and usually gotten her kind killed. That was something she didn’t want but it didn’t make the emotions go away. She was taught these feelings were terrible to have, confused and weakness, that it was better to shut them off. However it was much harder here than in Mesa Gaan to do that. Humans showed them daily and the fact a strange male and his careless words had riled her up, it only made everything that much worse. Even now she could recall the disturbingly strong anger it had drawn from her several hours ago. Tyrael had only seen her in a place she was comfortable and well suited for. Here at Twilight it was different. There was no familiarity for her to connect to. No desert, no hot sands, not even a Ravine entrance to erase her mind from the troubles she left in Mesa Gaan.

Her eyes flickered with slight disappointed at whom had actually approach then it quickly vanished. Her body held low out of respect and the fact Mar didn’t find Tyrael’s presence threatening. Rarely did she ever make a mistake this bad. In her mind in her state, she had almost thought Tyrael was Althalus until he stepped out of the shadows. At mention of stalking new prey, her eyes relaxed a bit as her voice replied. “I doubt there’s little here would’ve been worth hunting, unlike the Ravine.”

When she spoke about the Ravine, Mar felt a slightly pain she tried to hide visibly. However it was hard when someone been around her for a long time. She after all rarely showed this side during Tyrael’s stay in Mesa Gaan, but it had occurred at least once. Naturally, it would’ve been difficult to spot right away as well as the reason at first. It didn’t help her pride made it hard to come out and admit it completely. The familiar movement caught her eye caused her to jerk her head to the side, motioned at the black shadow hovered nearby. It seemed to grin at her and then skirt to the opposite wall, clearly not attached to anything in particular. That itself didn’t help her mood in the least as she doubted Tyrael would’ve liked being followed himself. They both were survivors and hunters, fighters to the end and beyond.

It then she noted the human male walking closer from behind the Fallen Orc. Their eyes made a brief contact as he mouthed the words ‘Got it’, his hands held a strange wooden rectangular piece no larger than coin sized tile, gestured to the current Activities within the Hall. Then that bastard male disappeared right in… Mar’s teeth fought not to grind together at his foolishness, mainly since she was finding harder now to remain calm. The only thing that brought any sense of her former home was Tyrael and the last thing the Naga enjoyed was being force to be babysat, a notion she knew he only tolerated for knowledge.

“This Twilight, after all, isn’t home. No there’s little to no familiarity for me here to draw upon.” Mar clearly hurt when she admitted the weakness but it was best to put bluntly then draw it out.


Khan

Khan tried to hide the sheepish look he held back since when Lucilia had first chided him. Despite the firm and rather motherly charm, he wasn’t use to having others concern about his wellbeing just yet. After all, for a great potion of his life the Demonomacer had only he to look after so it was rather unusual thing to have others concern about his well fare. It was in truth his own fault as he could’ve summoned Zaad or Rathel, even worn gloves, instead of dispatching a simple Bone Imp to notify Tyrael. Even Lucilia’s suggest was better yet he hadn’t wanted to bother the guards for something so minor.

His throat still raw from the cough, now under control, Khan merely gave her a slight grateful smile. “Yes that is true. Yet why send an already busy guard on the task when a simple Bone Imp would do? Though currently, I’m rather surprised Rathel isn’t here yet. He does enjoy these types of events as he gets to chat with the Herbamancy students about their Mageblood capabilities. Mainly in provided a little extra help to other novices struggling to adjust.”

Out of his demons, the teachers had only seen and interacted with two: Rathel and Zaad. When Zaad’s name flashed across Khan’s mind, his eyes immediately spotted the sand demon’s presence as the creature made his way over to one of the student’s table. Those students in his way had departed like a red sea, none dared to touch him, and their eyes stared until he stopped. This made the Headmaster’s body tense at his demon’s unknown motives. He didn’t want Zaad to cause trouble or provoke the students, a specialty of his unlike Rathel who would’ve been more pleasant company. That little worry became one that would soon earn merit. After the conversation and verbally ripped Zaad after his little prank upon the Student body necking by the wall, Khan had just turned his head away to speak with Lucilia when he heard Zaad give a mental howl of pain in his head. The Headmaster turned in time to watch the demon’s face turned to crystal and hardened, crackled from the unexpected heat as he gritted to stop his howling in pain reaching the air. Immediately any words Khan had ceased as he rose, his chair sent back and clattered to the floor loudly. It had caused a few teachers at the table to look at him in alarm while his voice bellowed across the Hall.

“ZAAD!” He barked an order that made the demon stop.

It was rare the demonomancer would sound so furious or even raised his voice, something Alaira or other older students would acknowledge that someone was in deep, dark trouble from the normally patient Headmaster. His knuckles tighten into fists pressed into the wooden table, his eyes glared at the demon, the cold and anger radiation off him, until the demon spoke one last time then took his leave. It meant Zaad would be stuck in the Inferno for several weeks after this rather than roam the halls in future. A mild punishment compared what might’ve been if the demon had actually harmed a student. His hand bled a little, the red dripped through the bandages that now started to became colored. His breathing slightly heavy while he once more calmed his fear edged to his mind. His body slowly lowered to the chair Val, one of the few teachers chuckling over his wrathful show, pulled back up.

“Ye tellin’ that demon, Khan. Ol’ dirt clod had been a rite pain in the arse lately and cannea say I dinnea enjoy that. Though ye might’ve scared the pants offa ‘em novices wit ye shoutin’. Ah’ll git some fresh bandages for ye and ye stop the bleedin’ while Lidda gits ye somethin' to eat, nea fittin’ for a Headmaster to be sportin’ a bleedin’ injury durin’ the Feast.” Val scolded the Esyire with a slight mirth. Clearly she found the whole event amusing unlike Khan, her short form shuffled towards the door and passed Althalus who headed straight for the red haired Wood Elf. Along the way, she gave the Vitamancer teacher a nudge to her task. Lidda had been sporting a rather odd appearance, her looks seemed like a Wood Elf yet she was colored like Djarkel's lands themselves, in black and white colors. The Dwarf woman just shook her head at the teacher standing out before she headed out the door, it would only take time until Lidda was mimic some of the more exotic Student's appearances.

Sitting down, Khan’s uninjured hand went to his temple where he gently rubbed it. A slight headache felt like it would soon show its ugly head any moment. “Sometimes I think the Bone Imp is easier then dealing with the headache Zaad seems to cause. I’m only hopeful that female Naga isn’t causing more trouble. At least Alaira knows how far to take her violence and when to cease, even if she chooses to pretend she doesn't.”

He made a mental note to later have a conversation with the Wood Elf, both to determine her status as well as warn her against provoking Zaad. It might’ve ended well this time but didn’t mean it would always do so. Which reminded him of another student to check on, Ponders. His eyes noted for the first time the Golem lookalike standing near a tree like creature, seemly locked in conversation and rather relieved to see he was adjusted enough to socialize. That eased a little tension and the urgent need for now. Strange how many unusual students they have had recently, wondered how the other students would react to each and every one of them.

Crossover! But I never read the comics so I didn't get the reference. We'll pretend I did so I can feel cool. And yeah, I'll end you a PM shortly. Has anyone heard from Firecracker? I may need to send that child a PM to see where he's at.

I'm still waiting on a pm from you Aweena... For a while as well as details for the Lacy and Abbie collab, .

Thinking on what else to add to my post other than response to Annabeth

What Lucius said, try to edge out into a single post and chose someone to interact with. There's many to go around and it will give you a chance to flesh out your PC with interactions for others. Right now is the best time to get a sense of your PC when it comes to the unusual and meeting different PCs that would give you reason to seek them out. Collab posts are great but so are individual one every so often.

I'll post for Khan and Mar tomorrow Crew. Night

I have a question. I was reading back over my bio and noticed I still had that caustic breath attack from back when I first made the character. Does anyone have any ideas on what a psychomantic breath spell could possibly be? I would really like to stick with the same school for that.

I would think something to do with illusions to be honestly? It could end up blinding the foe for a limited time, Lucius?

Who's got a place for me to jump in?

Well, I think there's a certain Ocean Naga that might interest Shala... preforming magic. Not to mention she's seen him before, lol.

And the winged girl could join too. :p
