VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

<Snipped quote by Nemaisare>

I'm not sure how Emory will work along psychic types; I hadn't really considered it until it was brought up, but he doesn't really have a brain. (He's much like his creator, in that respect...) But whilst he lacks a brain in the traditional sense, he is still very much a sentient being that thinks, feels and the whatnot; it depends on how Minerva types work - do they interact with the brain, or with thoughts themselves? If the former, Emory may well be immune to psychic-based attacks.

Speaking particularly about Lucas, however, that raises further interesting questions, since his psychometry is touch-related. Emory's slime form is considered organic by my own terms, but it's also not a 'known' substance, it's unique to him. This makes me wonder whether he'd be immune to Lucas' prying touch, or whether the opposite would be true: would touching Emory act in the same way as touching an object, but with far more efficiency? Since he would essentially be coming into contact with a substance that had its own mind and thoughts, rather just ingrained memories.

I don't have a particular preference and I don't think it ultimately matters; the relationship between our characters promises to be an interesting dynamic that I'm really looking forward to. I'm just sort of tossing ideas around and raising questions, because I'm an antagonistic provocateur at the best of times and an [insert unsavoury words here] in the rest.

Perhaps @Lord Wraith has an opinion on how Em and Lucas/psychics in general would work.

@Tyler

While I can't answer for any other Minerva types, as I'm not sure about the brain thing, I can answer this as concerns Lucas. Yay for that fact. lol

As an organic that is, technically, not created by humans or shaped by them, Emory would not come across as an object to Lucas, much like any other living thing. He'd leave impressions and emotions in other objects though, same as everything else, from what I gather, but with the occasionally strange oozing sensation which Lucas would never have considered combined with emotions before. Though, for the most part, he'd leave much the same impressions as any other human.

The main reason Lucas would be surprised, upon first meeting Emory(and probably numerous subsequent times), is due to the fact that he isn't wearing actual clothing or shoes or whatever. As he's made all of that out of his own slime, it is also organic and not a man made object(at least, that's my take on it, given as I don't get the feeling that he's creating something out of the slime, just shaping it into the appearance of... If I'm wrong, whoops, but good to know).

So, since everything Emory's 'wearing' doesn't count as an object, it would come across to Lucas as completely silent. Which would be very weird given as he would be looking at things that ordinarily give off some sort of memory. And presumably he'd also be able to touch them, feel that they seem exactly like every other bit of cloth or shoe out there, but they just don't have any memories whatsoever. That would definitely be something that catches Lucas' attention without fail. Though Emory would have to pass within 10' of Lucas first.

I'm very much seeing invasion of space happening on Lucas' side of things. :P

Hmmm, Lucas went to the PRCU from 1995-1999, which is probably not useful for anyone else. But since that time, he has been part of a few efforts H.E.L.P. has made towards research, development, and the occasional protection/enforcement. So, anyone who's kept up ties with H.E.L.P. might have a small history of acquaintanceship with him, provided they've been to Canada.... And anyone else they'd have had to have crossed paths within the last year.

It's possible, though probably rather far-fetched, that he might have come across memories of some individuals while traveling, Zeke being one of them, as the first direction Lucas went was cross Canada then down. If he did encounter Emory either physically or through a memory, he'd probably remember it and make much of any re-encounter. Simply because His Sliminess is an extremely strange phenomenon as far as he's concerned.

Gareth, he has probably never met at all, despite proximity.

Not sure about Marcus or Ilani.

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

So, who all is thinking their characters are starting with the convoy?

I think I've read a few histories that don't have the characters with them, but not sure.

Lucas is probably going to be part of the convoy, though how recently he's joined, I couldn't say. Yet. Must continue thinking about it. Also, yay for more information!

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

Coolio on the convoy front.

And a H.E.L.P./H.I.T. blurb would be awesome. Info is love. :P

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

Oh, and a thing I should have thought to ask ages ago.

@Lord Wraith Are the characters supposed to be together and semi-acquaintanced already, or are they all meeting each other for the first time at rp start? Or is it just as we arrange, so shall it be(provided sense is had)?

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

Ooh, an Atlas, and another lady! Fun times! All of the people! So excited!

In fact, I am so excited, that I am going to go to sleep. Yep.

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

I totally would. But then, I moved away from it, sooooo...

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

Noooooo, RIP Winnipeg. We'll miss your Forks and Steven & Andrews and them polar bears... >.>

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

Cuz Wade Wilson ain't likely to do that... >.>

VIGILANCE: Sanctuary

@Bigg SlammBeing without pie is sad. I have chocolate peppermint bark though, so I'll survive, but however will you?

@Lord WraithHmmm, so, being around Zeke would make his brain prickle, which might translate into the same hair-raising sensation that most people get around electricity, but on a less ignorable scale. He is so going to sneeze at some point.

@TylerEmory is now being referred to as His Sliminess... Yep... That'd probably make him 'invisible,' in a sense, to Lucas, since there'd be no real cloth object to read. He'll have to decide if that makes Emory a person he wants to be around, or if it's just exceptionally confusing and not fun.
