This may be just from a medical standpoint, but when you are turned into stone, you are technically dead. No heartbeat, brain waves, pulse, breath, you would be stone to the core. Of course, once the effect wears off, you cease being 'dead' as your body is once again flesh and bone. But rocks aren't alive. They cannot change their form unless they are being broken into smaller rocks. Which would be really gross once the person changes back into the carbon based life they are.

And from a demonologist's standpoint, while demon's aren't really alive, that's because they are not of the material world, but rather, a physical manifestation of emotion/evil/energy, depends on what universe you're in. Point being, there really aren't stone demons that are, well, demon-y, because earth is part of the material world. You could make a movable object out of stone or mineral, hence golems, automatons, homunculi, but they can't really be considered demons, as they don't have any real will. And as Lucifer was banished from heaven for having free will, one can assume by default that his demonic spawn would also have such will.

All in all, golems, homunculi, automatons, robots, and gargoyles are not true demons or even living things, rather, they are man's reflection of himself in the material world, whereas the soul and ghost are his reflections in the spiritual.

But I am not a real doctor/demonologist/GM. So as it was previously said, Viridian must make their decision. I'm just putting in my two cents. Len out.

*pops in*

Right, let's see if I can address everything that's been discussed (feel free to poke me if I don't).

Leo, you said your character has limited shapeshifting abilities. I believe that to shape-shift into other yokai, it would take considerable practice and would sap most of his energy, so I don't think he should be able to turn himself into gargoyles/golems or any other stone creatures. He is after all, half-blooded, and this makes him considerably weaker than a full-blooded Leshy. I think that his abilities should be limited to small to medium-sized animals for now, and as the RP progresses and he interacts with everyone else, he could try imitating them, but still not completely perfect their appearance (perhaps just a part of their body at the beginning). Maybe after you form a partnership with someone, you'd be able to imitate them perfectly, as you'd be spending more time with them than everyone else and have lots of time to observe their movements. Also, I hope he doesn't shape-shift too often during combat as it would make things a tad annoying. xD

The point of the partnership is to work together. I won't put you all in combat situations too often, but in cases that you do face enemies, you will not be able to face high-level demons on your own. Even low-level demons in large numbers are supposed to tire out a duo. Humans are no match for you, but pure-blood yokais are to be treated with caution, no matter how powerful your character is. Speaking of which, Len's CS is accepted. :)

*flies away to make IC post*

EDIT: I'd like to know how many of your characters are new residents or how long has your character been at the building. My character has been a resident for 3 years, so she'd know some of you if you choose to be an old resident.

I was thinking about making Feli a new resident. But that would mean he would either still be recovering from his burn wound, or its a very very very new scar. What do you guys think?

I am thinking that Akari could be a one or two year resident so she's probably bumped into your character Vi & anyone else who has been there for a bit.

He could still be recovering. Good conversation starter.

I was thinking of Gin being new, and really doesn't know anyone at Primrose.

Marie is most certainly an older resident, and she woulda probably know Kimiko, if that's alright.

Well, Jaki is fairly new to the area, but I suspect she'll be hanging around somewhere. Fighting good guys by moonlight and summoning baddies by daylight. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with the Yokai list on Wikipedia. Did you guys know that there's a demon who has an eyeball for an anus? Apparently it doesn't have a face or hair, and walks backwards on all fours. That's some Silent Hill shtacko right there, yo. I'm not gonna use it, it doesn't seem to have any power other than freaking out travelers, apparently, I just thought that was cool.

But yeah, there are all sorts of demons that'd make awesome minions! Like the Furutsubaki-no-rei, plants that suck out people souls, Ittan-momen, who are rolls of possessed fabric that try to smother people, Basan, who gives a new meaning to fried chicken, and even Okiku, which is a seriously a ghost that counts plates and goes crazy when it can't find the last one!

Also, something I noticed, but Japan sure has quite the wide variety of corpse eating demons. Like, seriously. No wonder zombies are so popular there. This should be fun.

Wow Len, you seem to be having a lot of fun with Wikipedia. :) I actually didn't know about the plate one.

So yeah, if you've there for a while you will already know Marie, since she is the maid, so I expect she atleast interacts with people. I hope.

It's alright. :3 Kimiko would find Marie okay, she'd probably even like her, but she would never let her know that. xD

Indeed, Japanese yokai are really cool. :3 I'm going to be introducing a few low-level spirits myself from time to time. PM me when you plan on introducing a major plot-changer though. ^^

Mattis has been working at Primrose for about a year now, I think. Long enough that he knows all about pool maintenance and is trusted to operate things on his own, but not so long that anybody's figured out he's not actually a nereid. :)

One, am I even accepted, and two, my character hasn't been at Primrose for long, like a week or month. (His character age actually makes impossible for him to be their more a year)

Considering his age, Capello will have been there for several years. He changes his story a lot. But anyone whose been there for a while knows he's been there for several years.

I will also have him give out nicknames to everyone. Because.

*now has a nickname for Viridian's character that's going to be amazing.*

Oh, and anyone who wants their character to know Capello is more than welcome. He's a friendly sort.

My character would have been there for about a year. Also would like to say that even though her pendant gives her a human form, it doesn't stop her petrifying stare. There is a possibility for a random human to be petrified.

I will post later today if my internet allows it. I'm currently on my phone and my router is being slightly temperamental.

I'm so not sorry for any of that.
And don't worry, I'll have names for all of you. I'm still curious how the pairings will occur and who'll get Capello.
