@Ganryu

I really like your dureva, especially your lion one, Arieh. I think I may create a PC for use with my own demon.

I do have a question: is there any type of animal that would not make sense to be a dureva? Like, I think of bugs. And fish. Can there be dureva types like that? =o~

@Eklispe

Jarvan Gearshield. Love the name. ^_^ I got a couple questions.

Who or what instilled that sense of morality in him?
Does Jarvan fit the description of a technical pacifist? Perhaps a martial pacifist?

My point in asking is that it seems my demon PC will have (or end up having) the same line of thought of Jarvan when it comes to violence and killing, and yet at the same time, have extremely high ambitions. =)

Technical pacifist suits him better, glad you liked the name, wasn't sure if it was cliche or cool, the line is hard to draw. Based off Jarvan Lightshield from League Of Legends but hey it works. As for his influence tbh I hadn't pinned down a specific thing but I liked the idea. My vague thoughts on the matter were his first mission gone sour combined with an initial sense of empathy. Thanks for the feedback.

Oh derp. I didn't see this reply before Ganny's... hmm I see. I'm somewhat familiar with LoL, my friends play it. I don't think it was cliche at all, just intriguing and such. Hmm... maybe Jarvan saw someone on the same kind of mission, someone who was kinda close to him, let their lack of empathy lash back at them somehow, with some kind of karmic twist? And there was nothing either of them could do to stop it, and so in the aftermath, perhaps Jarvan doesn't want the same thing to happen to him. Just a thought. =3

EYE CANCER!!!


SORRY! I was hoping "Psychotic" in the hider name was warning enough ;~;

As a note, this symbol, is a symbol denoting a "GM post," or rather a post that is either necessary for a given player to read, or is necessary reading for everyone in the RP. If it is necessary for only one player, or a small group of players, it will be accompanied by @tags for each relevant player. If it is not followed @tags, then it is to be considered necessary for all players.

Anywho, enjoy the post ^_^

@Eklispe, in the future, please don't post unfinished CCs in the OOC. When your character's equipment is done, tag me, or get my, and Celaira's, attention so that we may review your character ^_^

Oh sorry boss, thought getting feedback on the concept was more important. I'll try to have a list by end of weekend.

No problem. Demons have been added to the "Races of Bayera," post in the Patch Tome ^_^

Enjoy everyone, especially you @Mikael, who gave me good reason and thus motivation to properly finish Demons. I appreciate it :)

Genuine lore question: how can there possibly be any 'evil' in the world if karma is tangible and explicitly apparent? Assuming that the existence of karma is universally acknowledged as fact, wouldn't people strive towards the boring 'good' side of things (charity, love, yadda yadda yadda) to become materially prosperous rather than take on the arguably more exciting illegal and greedy side of things?

Also, besides demons, how would we have inherently (or mostly) evil races like goblins and orcs?

Ditto especially for magic-users. What's a fantasy setting without an evil necromancer or sorcerer?

@BingTheWing, let me elaborate a bit on the nature of karma.

The first point I'd like to make is that karma isn't quite so straightforwards as you're suggesting. Good karma is not necessarily gained by being kind and helping others; similarly bad karma is not reaped by stealing, selling oneself, hurting or even killing a stranger etc etc.

Additionally, the world "punishes," and "rewards," people in subtle ways at first when they gain either sort of karma. Additionally "evil," is relative as is "good," and people can be raised in circumstances that cause their world view to not include things that would involve them gaining good karma.

To elaborate on what I mean by Good karma not necessarily being gained by "good acts," as seen by human society (and vice versa for bad karma) is as follows:

Bad karma is associated with acts that defy the natural order of the world OR damage/destroy things in a meaningful fashion. Acts that glean this sort of karma are acts that in some way cause, or open the world to, entropy--be it on a small or large scale.

Good karma is however associated with acts that reinforce the balance between entropy and creation or conversely acts that create or improve the world, rather than tear it down.

Additionally, while most people are aware of "karma," to some degree, it is not something that is fully understood. In fact, the description of it leaves it as a fairly nebulous force in the world, something that is difficult to outright measure, if it is even possible to do so. Additionally, as I mentioned, karma is entirely separate from the views and beliefs of a given society. So even if an orc, or other such creature, believed that killing or hurting someone was not "wrong," or "bad" their view would not at all stop the world from punishing them for killing someone, provided that it deemed the act something that caused some level of entropy to the world (which it well may not).

Similarly, a priest of a given god might worship their chosen deity devoutly, they might garner the attention of the people and gain the deity a great many followers. However, if one of the people that becomes a believer twists the tenants of that religion/God's word to negative ends, the world will see those actions not only as bad karma associated with the believer, but also bad karma associated with the priest, as if it were not for the priest, the man may not have thought he could be absolved of his actions by the church.

I don't need any help just yet, Yosh. Just been busy at work. Still working things out, and my interest in this RP hasn't wane at all either.
