[OOC] Mᴀʜʟɪᴍᴀᴇ

That sounds good, and don't sweat it Captain. All you had to say was you were sick and I'm sure everyone here would understand why it is taking a little bit for an IC to be posted.

[December]

Sorry to hear that you're sick! Hoping you feel better.

So does everyone just have one side effect each or multiple of them?

[King Tai]

<Snipped quote by December>

I am leaning towards this path too. Start with silly and it evolves into something more dangerous.
I'm sorry I was gone all day, been sick so some days are worst than others. I will get us an IC going tomorrow I promise!!

@MissCapnCrunch

Sorry to hear that you're sick :(. rest easy and get well, darlin.

[MissCapnCrunch]

Thank you guys for the lovely wishes!
It's bronchitis so it's been like a couple weeks, but it's getting better.

Everyone will start with one side effect and that will grow into something more serious.
We will talk about them in a bit, I am going to get to work on the IC post :D

[December]

Don't tax yourself honey! We can wait if you need to rest!

[King Tai]

@December

Thats right, rest dat ass...

@MissCapnCrunch

[MissCapnCrunch]

Would you guys like ME to assign your effects or would you like to create them? :)

[December]

Ooh, good question! I'm good with whatever, as long as mine has some hilarious (even potentially awkward) effects.

[King Tai]

Would you guys like ME to assign your effects or would you like to create them? :)

@MissCapnCrunch

Honestly, I dont mind you assigning mine

[MechonRaptor]

I don't mind if you assign the side effects. I also wouldn't mind if Zane's side effects start sorta awkward at first and get dangerous as time goes on, or multiple side effects galore!

He'd feel obligated to keep it a secret from the rest regardless of what it was.

[December]

@MechonRaptor

That'd be a cool plot device of him hiding his effect from the group.

What about you @Ejected? Are you cool with Cap'n giving us our side effects?

[MissCapnCrunch]

Mahlimae 1 - @December
You chose this Mahlimae!
She is the keeper of fire and anger.

Your side effect is extreme heat! At the start your character slowly will start to become warmer and warmer. Sweat stains and stinky pits galore. You will want to take off your clothes as often as possible and drink cold drinks to help with the heat coming inside you. This will cause anger, delusions, and heat mirages later on in the story. Your ultimate is setting fire to things you touch, including other human beings.

Mahlimae 2 - @MechonRaptor
You chose this Mahlimae!
She is the keeper of ice and mute.

At the opposite end of Mahlimae 1, your side effect is extreme cold! At the start your character will become colder and colder. This will not be too noticeable as it IS winter in Alta Vista but you will notice your personality getting colder and colder too. You become mean and nasty towards your friends and family. Icicles will start to form from ALL holes your body has. Is that a icicle in your pants or are you just happy to see me? Eventually you will become very slow and almost in hibernation mode as your body begins to shut down. Your ultimate is a frozen state, where you will be unable to move.

Mahlimae 3 - @King Tai
You chose this Mahlimae!
He is the keeper of sight and dreams.

This Mahlimae is the youngest of the group but he doesn't lack in his side effects. At the start your character will start to have some sight problems, which can include anything from temporary blindness and small hallucinations. You may see in one color from time to time. The weed doesn't help your case, but things will become more and more scary as your realities and dreams become mixed. Your ultimate is a state of confusion where you will not be able to tell the difference between what is real, fake, or when you are awake or asleep.

Mahlimae 4 - @Ejected
You chose this Mahlimae!
He is the keeper of body and appearance.

The Mahlimae is the most naive of the the group, and tends to be the most playful. His appearance changes often and so will yours. Your character will start to grow hair in odd places, and then lose hair in others. It will at first be slow and unnoticeable, but eventually it will become so quick and vast that you will be unrecognizable at points. Your ultimate side effect is when your body begins malfunctioning as well. Parts will become large or small, making your organs not work as properly as they should.

Mahlimae 5 - @MissCapnCrunch
I don't need to talk to myself, because that is weird.
But my Mahlimae is of age and time.

My Mahlimae is the oldest of the group. My side effect is at first losing track of time, or time stopping or starting for me. My character will think they talked to another character a minute ago and it's been hours. Eventually time will began making my character age rapidly. She will become old and wrinkled and all the fun stuff of being old.

[MissCapnCrunch]

I gave everyone their side effects.
These are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to modify and expand on yourself.
I just wanted to give a general idea (which I used from the mahlimae's appearance)

I've decided that each Mahlimae will have a special instruction on what your character will have to do to "fix" the effects and send him/her home. Does this sound like something interesting to you guys? We can have different goals as well :)

[December]

Oh, how wonderfully ironic! One of Sebastian's fear is fire and burning!

By send them home, does that mean that once the person bonded to the Mahlimae had completed the task, the side effects will vanish and the Mahlimae will be sent home?

@December

:D Do you think I meant to do that on purpose? Mwhaha.

This is my thinking exactly. What do you think about it?

[December]

How devious! >:D

I enjoy it! It provides peril and a sense of direction for the story.

[MechonRaptor]

Embrace the cold! Ahhh I can already picture Zane's personality shift slowly, and the icicle thing could be funny at times, or really awkward given when it happens or how he gets rid of it.

Though it does make me curious how Sebast's and Zane's effects will interact.

[December]

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Do they cancel each other our make everything worse? Both could be interesting :D

[MechonRaptor]

We could probably talk about it since Captain said we could modify and expand them. I'm considering sneezing snow or things along that.

[MissCapnCrunch]

Yes yes yes!
Please expand on your side effects as you see fit :)
