[OOC] Imaginary District: Youkai, Magic, and Youth, An Urban Fantasy RP

[13org]

Just a quick question, there are more male or female characters currently?

[VitaVitaAR]

More male, at the moment.

[VitaVitaAR]

@KoL: As long as she's not pulling reality-warping stuff and you double-check with what it is before you go ahead and do it, okay.

[KoL]

@VitaVitaAR

No problem, that's just an "in case of" question. Considering this RP's apparent proposal, I doubt it'll en be necessary.

Also, no realities shall be harmed by the usage of my character's power, I assure you.

[VitaVitaAR]

Glad to hear it.

[Natsu]

@VitaVitaAR Added another limitation, let me know if you want more.

[Jedly]

@VitaVitaARCS is finished I believe. Gonna do some quick spell-checking. Should I expand on the personality, or does it suffice?

[VitaVitaAR]

@Natsu: That's good now, accepted.

@Jedly: ... Ah, here we're getting into some of the more complicated mechanics of the soul and stuff in-setting. I'm not sure about this idea, in part because of those mechanics.

[Jedly]

@VitaVitaARWell, Styx really only has presidence over souls sprouting from expired vessels, so the deceased. I'm not sure how influential this is, since it only applies to certain circumstances. I'll gladly work with you on working out the kinks/setting boundaries.

[VitaVitaAR]

Well, the thing is, technically speaking in-universe there's two parts to the soul. There's basically just life energy, which is stuck in a body and makes it live, and then there's the consciousness, which begins existing when the body is actually capable of thought and is what actually constitutes a ghost and is what actually goes to whatever's beyond the veil.

[Jedly]

@VitaVitaARSo essentially he would basically be delegated to assist the consciousness in passing on, since the life essence has already shriveled up upon death, correct?

[VitaVitaAR]

Technically, the life essence just sort of lingers for a bit, since it's the body no longer being able to use it rather then it running out. This is how homunculi can be made.

Part of my concern here is that the afterlife and mechanics related to it(aside from ghosts) are deliberately left vague in this setting.

[Jedly]

@VitaVitaARWhich is why I wrote that the Ankou actually have no clue where they are sending the souls(well, consciousness now). Technically, they don't even know if Death is a legitimate existence. All they have as evidence is the drive to escort consciousnesses to whatever lies beyond through incantations and other means. They kind of just unanimously concluded that somebody must be the bossman among them.

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmmm... It's just that this is one of those areas of the setting I've been as vague as possible on previously, so I hope you understand my hesitation. ^^;

[Jedly]

@VitaVitaARYeah, I understand it XD. But rest assured, I won't be world-building or do anything that may infringe upon the plot. Actually, now that you mention it, his ability Fiend Friend would also need some editing to. Would you like me to edit the CS so it's sound?

[VitaVitaAR]

Go ahead and make your edits and I'll keep thinking on this.

Okay threw it around a little, hopefully there are enough other elements in it nao (<get it?)

Might do a remake of the backstory though since it is boring as fuck atm but will get to that later I think

[Jedly]

Made edits, though they were minor alterations for correctness. If there's anything of great note in need of being changed, I'll gladly refurbish whatever it is.

[VitaVitaAR]

@liferusher: Big improvement, though I do think the "half power" thing needs a better explanation. ^^;

@Jedly: Admittedly still hesitant but I'll get a good look at it.
