Ziotea is a cynic, and usually in a bad mood. She'd be happy to help in the subjugation of demons, but don't expect her to be particularly friendly without work -- and you have to understand her kind of "friendly".

They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

So ded. Cannot brain. Just one massive poorly coordinated and balance-lacking headache. But don't send help. I don't want to people either. X.x

Glad to see I'm not the only follower of Lord Cato, god of wisdom, on this most auspicious Superb Owl Sunday.

Bio
I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

@Lovejoy He's ADORABLE! <3
My sheet's still in the early stages, but I'll have time tomorrow after work to do more. ^.^

*annoyed swearing* Crud I didn't see that someone used Tatiana. No, it's not Titaia...but that would make things needlessly confusing. *crumples up paper and goes to pick a new name* Why didn't I check first? Stupid, shy, very stupid.
@Lovejoy perhaps in the conquered lands, then, with Varya proper being unsuited for cold farms?
@Lovejoy There are a number of cold-weather plants that might be cultivated to provide food. I imagine in a world where they'd have a huge advantage over plants that need warmer weather, they would evolve into a variety that could produce a decent amount of produce. Tending such farms would be difficult, but not impossible.

@Oak7ree you gonna edit, odd should I just post?
@Lovejoy definitely wonky science, and if I try to think about this too hard my brain is going to hurt. A few related questions, though. Sparks are also the basis of electricity and lighting, so perhaps flint and steel do make sparks, but stuff jsut doesn't burn. ...Or, perhaps, things burn, but it's more of an embers situation, without any flames, and it gives very limited heat? Enough so that without some sort of magical aegis, you're pretty much screwed in short order. Or maybe that's only in areas with aegis...*considers*
I actually /want/ her to have trouble controlling the smaller stuff. It's an interesting complication, and keeps her from being too independent. Come to think of it, I imagine the concept of "fire" exists in legends, so they know "it was red and orange and yellow, and ate everything" but that's pretty much it. *just spent a few hours looking for images with bright orange hair, and that loses the significance if people don't remember fire at all*

@deathbringer@Lovejoy aaaah people who want to win free of Varya MY CHAR APPROVES. She's just not sure about their chances. But her mother was one of them!!
@Lovejoy I like the idea of needles for drawing ether. Probably it's done a bit like dialysis, but requires an etheric component?
When I say fire I mean her ether manifests as fire -- just as it would manifest as force if I went with that one. If you would prefer her not to be straight fire perhaps I could make it more...explosive? That'd put it more toward force usage, but perhaps with the addition of a spark (I can make a gadget to produce them) she might be able to generate something flashy.
The down side of that, of course, is that because her power is geared towards explosions a lot of the simpler applications for ether would be beyond her. If most priests can light candles with a though, her attempts would end up with wax everywhere, or a completely melted candle. A small ether light would be a bright flash, etc.
Waitwait, backup. I reread the bit about fire...are you saying that candles, flames, cookfires, those don't exist anymore? You can't make a spark with flint and steel? Things don't burn? Or are you just saying fire as a form of magic is gone? (Though wouldn't a bit of it remain in Omestrian ether?)
