Well, you aren't meant to post CSs in the OOC. the OP in the OOC states you are to send your CS in a PM to the GM.

The injections seem like....a bad idea. At least for those that the Empire find trustworthy. One vengeful impulse from a mage and everyone dies. From an OOC standpoint, we know no one will do that, but from the Empire's perspective, they didn't even know Landvarian could SPEAK, much less any of the magi's true intentions once they are free of their cells with a chance to kill some of their jailors, even with the knowledge that it would be killing a few other magi. Justifications can be made for many things...

@Esailia
it is kind of a suicide squad spin if you think about it

self preservation comes into play since in theory you don't want to die so in order to not die you'll behave
just tossing that out there as my thoughts ^.^

I thought the same thing. Though it was something that happened in the original, and I guess Ashe is sticking with it. Plus, it seems quite... how do I describe this... hard to do. Improbable.

EDIT: I WANTED TO SAY UNREALISTIC GODDAMNIT

A species as a whole does not have the ability to give up surviving. But individuals can give up their life if they can justify it to themselves. If they couldn't, there would be no such thing as suicide.

Self preservation means nothing if what you're preserving is your own suffering with no chance at a normal life. As I said above, its not the perspective of the characters I'm calling into question. Its the actions of the Empire to link trusted soldiers to prisoners in a way that if one prisoner justifies it to themselves, all of them die. To me it makes no logical sense. Even taking the risk that the magi would decide to kill themselves just to escape their imprisonment, what's the point in having your own soldiers die with them?

@canaryrose
but you used so many synonyms XD

@Esailia
kinda felt the same way about suicide squad
i think this is meant to be similar. like if you fail well play it off as you were the bad guys
type of thing

but you've both got a point....but i think improbable makes it a fun aspect ^.^

Ok I was part of the original story before I messed up and stopped writing in it and didn't say anything to anybody. It was rude and yeah I definitely messed up.

Anyways I went with (as in didn't find an issue with it) the idea of the injections because we are playing characters who are from the Empire's perspective supposed to serve the Empire.

And since our characters are already injected, there's nothing we can do to prevent it. So it puts our characters in a forced group survival mode where if we like it or not we're forced to travel/live/talk to each other.

Now, I know Esailia was more talking about the Empire's perspective. That's more like talking about the G.M.'s perspective as he is playing the ascended or the Empire's representative. I think its best we allow ourselves to follow along with the G.M. as I'm sure he has ideas and reasoning for the injections the Empire uses. It's probably something that would make more sense later on in the story.

(Like why would the Emperor inject trusted soldiers and prisoners with the same bomb?) It could be that secretly he doesn't trust anyone with the amulet pieces and so its a win win situation for him.

If they destroy the amulet pieces great. If they dont destroy the amulet pieces and instead steal it for themselves, he can kill all the betrayers in one fell swoop with the bomb.

Plus think of it this way, would you think that someone who leads a massive empire would really care if a couple soldiers died along with the prisoners. He's not a family person. He only cares about power. The emperor probably doesn't even really trust the ascended templar markovic.
