Ouroboros, I like it. Better than anything I could ever attempt on a computer. I still struggle with typing in word.

EDIT: Also, quick suggestion about the hybrid nature of the cat-person. Perhaps she was a normal human mage that dabbled with the wrong type of spells and the result left her as the hybrid creation you wish to play as?

Yo, baby(Redward) I am here. Sorry about being MIA.

Hey, everyone, just stopping in to let you know that the going will be kinda slow for me the next few days. I've had a rather unexpected upset in my personal life and it's...gonna take me a little bit to get over it. I apologize that this is going to have an effect on the arrival speed of the OOC and IC threads, as well as the addition of new information. I'm sorry...

I'll edit this in a second to respond to prior posts.

Welcome everyone and thank you (hiya, Oni~) for your interest. I like the banner a lot, @Harbringer. Thank you ^^

@lydyn I have no problem with you playing a cat-person. You're free to either make a race or come up with a reason your character would be cursed/blessed/transmogrified into such a form. ^^

I'll be back later to give a more thorough reading over previous posts. I apologize if I've missed anything important. Thank you all for your interest...and I hope I can count on your patience in the coming days.

I am interested in this as well!

Also, greetings Harby old friend.

Redward, I think we are all here for the long haul. Please take as much time as you need to sort out and deal with your real life problems.

What Myke I don't get a hi? I'm insulted! XD

Okay so hypothetical for a terrible situation: I assuming if a elemental guardian is killed, trapped, banished, anything bad happens to make them grumpy etc terrible terrible things will happen right?

We'll have to discuss this later, because I like the idea of a curse... but I'm not sure how that fits into the elemental magics you've placed, unless Shadeweavers can curse people? Anyways, I am a bit confused by the guardians ... perhaps you should clearly state which guardians are invoked and which ones are swayed? Because I can only find two invoked and the other four seem to be swayed ... maybe that's what you intended? :p

Anyways, of course we're understanding of your life. Take what time you need to take care of business and we'll wait patiently for your return. ^.^ Hope it all turns out okay for you~

From my understanding, we don't get individual guardians? Yep, now I've been confused. I thought you just defeated the guardian and then got the powers ... not acquiring a guardian of your own. =/

From what I understood they were essentially deities. Or very powerful spirits. So yeah. Things would suck if something happened to them I would imagine.

I am helping out with the RP a bit so I can answer some stuff. Correct me if I am wrong, Red. Yes. Shadeweavers can curse you so you could've been cursed by one of them.

@Hexaflexagon You don't need to have a pet or something. Just think of it as being granted your guardian's powers. You can have a big monster or something if you want, but it isn't required. All that is required of you is a small and short, or large and long ritual after you cast a spell. For example, Red's making a mage that cries after a spell cast as part of her ritual.

I think magic is going to have to be explained a little more now, because I've just got really confused... lol.

Oh sorry I must of worded that the wrong way! I know the Elemental Spirits are metaphysical, they are more akin to gods than anything else it seems it would be silly if they acted as individual guardians, as they already acted as overseers of all and such. I was talking hypothetically if somebody tried to outright commit Deicide what would happen. Or if that was even possible because how tangible they are as these deity type creatures are if they had actually physical stable forms like in Chinese and Greco-Roman mythology or if they were like more monotheist gods that are traditionally immortal and can not be effected by human action.

Roughly speaking, if they died they would return to the sleeping god.They are essentially fragments of him and would be reborn, IIRC.

Thank you, Oni, for relaying that bit of information. So you all know, he'll be acting as my CO-GM through the course of this thread. On the topic of Elemental Guardians being slain. It is possible. Doing so would cause an event that would send devastation throughout Irriss. If an Elemental Guardian is slain, the core of their essence is returned to the Dreaming God to be recycled/reborn into a similar, if not identical, deity. The catastrophe of this matter would be that their Elemental Sphere would have its energy siphoned to the point of the Guardian's death; and along with it, the energy of the Servient Magi in their service. This energy would crystallize, creating a gleaming tower of condensed, tangible magic.

The Blind Goddess and Dreaming God, however, cannot suffer a fate like this. They're simply beyond being destroyed.

Welcome, btw, to those who've posted recently. ^^

New concepts that you guys might enjoy. First, since the Magi are so potent; I figured it'd be prudent to introduce other character 'categories' that would allow for those without a Sway or Ascendancy to contend with beings of such a caliber. "Auspices" will be the second form of gift granted to those without Magical capabilities. Auspices are gifts from the Blind Goddess and the Dreaming God. While Auspices aren't as versatile as Magic; they are considerably potent in their own right. Not everyone that is unable to utilize Magic will have an Auspice. The third is "Magitech" which will be provided to the world of Irriss, in a way, by a group foreign to the world (marooned there, if you will). I'll explain a bit more about these concepts in the morning.

Sounds good @Redward. Just hope everything is crystal clear by the end of day. ^.^ Since the current magic is a bit confusing as is, but I'm sure there's more to clear up. I like the idea of other different types of magic and stuff - especially Magitech!~

I too am finding a particular interest in this setting. It seems very well structured. And, Vietmyke made me do it.

...I swear to god, everyone from the other RP is here...soon

@lydyn Oooooohhh... so likes... bunny has idea then?! If yer charrie is cursed by a ShadeWeaver... and muh charrie is a Shadeweaver... maybe like that's part of the reason for being stand-offish at each other to begin with. Then later on we could try to find a 'cure' for your 'deviant' features. ;P Huhuhuhuh... but like that all depends on if we're both accepted of course. Cuz lots of peeps. But yush. ideas are funs! :3

Well my character will probably like the cat features after a while but maybe I can think of more negatives that they could work together to cure. ^^ Yeah that sounds awesome. My character might not judge her being a shadrweaver but maybe your characters initial reaction would then make mine feel uneasy.
