[OOC] Vivid Recollections Season 2: Into The False Light [COMPLETE]

[Mixtape Ghost N]

even though this has no bearing on the plot atm but I lost the secret lore bible me and zomb had

rip

fortunately i remember most of it off the top of my head

[Mixtape Ghost N]

behold my creation

a barely coherent wall of text of pseudo-deep lore, terrible writing, and god awful dialogue

enjoy

[Atrophy]

@Ruler IncOh I did. I like to think my dialogue is what brought things down to "god awful" status.

What's the plan from here? Should we continue posting per usual until you head out for basic?

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Atrophy keep posting yeah

I'm hoping to leave things on a cliffhanger

@Ruler Inc

alternatively, we can leave things here until I get back to preserve the momentum

[Atrophy]

@Ruler IncThat alternative might work for the best; it'd be easier to pick it back up. Do you know when you head out exactly?

I guess in the meantime I'll update the OP and NPCs. Maybe write stuff for the Watchers.

[Atrophy]

Heck yeah.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Amethyst

[21 | Amethyst D. Of the Sinclair Family | Female]

Description:
Leader of the Watchers, inherited the position after her father retired, a traveler from Glint. Amethyst is a tall woman with sharp features that are a mixture of European and Arabic - she's one of the few people in their home universe that possesses it. She's physically fit and leads the Watchers with an iron fist, and has a grudge out for Britney Williams, her former friend. The woman wears a Pink robe that has lime green assents to signify her ability and the color she has a collection to. She also uses a short length dagger which she channels her magic through.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Amethyst has a connection to the Pink and Lime lights of Luminescence, which allow her to manipulate minds and produce illusions. If she focuses on one target she can see through their eyes and make them see whatever she can imagine.

Goro

[18 | Goro of the Hatanaka Family | Male]

Description:
Considered to be the Watchers strongest warrior, a master swordsman that has been exiled to Shimmer. He serves Amethyst closely as the two of them have a plan in mind to get revenge against the League. He's a Japanese warrior with a fierce look in his eyes as he cuts down enemies of the League with his sword, and then he wears a red robe to match his connection to the lux.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Goro is connected to the red light of rage and hatred, therefore he has access to elemental manipulation. His brand of manipulation revolves around the control of burning hot fire.

The Obott Twins

[17 | Trevor and Theresa of the Obott Family | Male & Female]

Description:
A duo of archers from Glint that are never seen apart, and the two are the best shots of all the Watchers. However, they are the most vital members of the team as, wielders of the purple light, they are essential to the Watchers getting around quickly and safely. The two are very playful and that was what got them sent to Shimmer in the first place. The two keep their bows and arrows close, and have backup daggers in case it gets too much.

Extra-Normal Ability:
As members of the purple circle, they have access to portal creation. By firing arrows at their targets they can create a portal for a short period of time and travel through it.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Amy Reid

[49 | Amy Carolina Reid | Female]

Description:
A childhood friend of John Reid and later wife. His companion throughout his first awakening and helped him become the man he is today. Amy is a red-haired woman with straight and refined hair and gave birth to both of the Reid children. However, she never came back the same after one of his adventures and ended up getting killed. According to Sharon Reid, her daughter, John was the one that killed her.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Amy had the ability to, once she was in duress, produce a massive wave of a blue light that froze anything it touched.

Floris

[72 | Floris of the Janssen Family | Female]

Description:
A member of the original Watchers and Ayron's second in command. She is the best warrior of the Watchers and was also their healer. She was a blonde-haired blue-eyed woman that wore a green robe and unlike the rest of the Watchers, she didn't rely on her magic at all. Floris was John Reid's contact back when he was first Awakened and eventually became his mentor. When she became too old to be a Watcher she peacefully retired back to Glint.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Floris employs her magic to heal people in a short-range.

Ayron

[62 | Ayron of the Sinclair Family | Male]

Description:
The original leader of the Watchers before he gave the rank to his daughter. Ayron didn't have too much involvement in the affairs of John Reid other than commanding his second in command to handle it. As Ayron, a masterful scientist was building the foundation to end the League through his research into the white light. Eventually, he had everything he needed but was too old to continue his work - in a desperate attempt to keep his research a secret, he gave his daughter, Amethyst, control of the Watchers before he retired. He hopes that Amethyst does the right thing and finishes what he started.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Ayron has access to the lime-colored light and can produce illusions that large groups of people can see.

Cindy

[18 | Cindy of the Keagan Family | Female]

Description:
Britney William's cousin and a close friend of Amethyst, but she finds herself stuck in between the conflict between the two. Cindy is a half African, half Indian girl with African skin and hair but Indian facial features (more in line with the Gujatari people). The girl wears a green cloak as she is the healer of the Watchers.

Extra-Normal Ability:
Cindy is capable of healing people through the use of her channeler.

I almost forgot, I wrote an explanation on how abstractions can transfer and shit.

The Awakened can transfer their abstractions to other Awakened. They can do these two ways; if they have a strong emotional bond with another Awakened they can willingly transfer it to another Awakened (or perhaps a Blind), or if they die the Abstraction can be taken by another Awakened. It's also possible for an Awakened to transfer a small fraction of their abilities to another person. Once they have the ability their sigil will appear on them. For another Awakened to use an abstraction that does not belong to them, they have to understand and channel the emotions that created said abstraction. If they don't understand the emotions they will not be able to properly use the abstraction to it's fullest strength. It is entirely possible that an Awakened can have many different abstractions. However, the Awakened are only capable of using one abstraction at a time. An Awakened can only share their powers with another Awakened or counterpart.

It's possible for there to be what is called a "Collective-Awakening". It's an uncommon phenomenon where multiple people Awaken around the same time in the same vicinity and they each share a piece of the same power. However, it won't occur every time there's a group of people Awakening. Each member of a collective-Awakening gain their own "primary" abstraction but a far weaker secondary powers belonging to each member of the group. However, sometimes collective Awakenings will not gain a power belonging to each member of the group but an abstraction reflecting what they think of the person (Such as gaining a speed based abstraction from someone they believe is impulsive). This will only occur if there's a great sense of familiarity with a member in the Collective. They gain a special mental link to each member of the group that allows them to share memories and see each other's auras through walls. However, they have a special ability that other Awakened do not and are capable of using these abstractions without understanding anyone else's emotions. If they gain the abstractions of the other Collective members they will be able to use them at full strength.

A question that may arise is what would happen if the Awakened's person changes? That part of them that the abstraction formerly reflected is gone? It's simple, and it's known as a Second Awakening. If a person undergoes a great personal change they will still retain their previous abstraction until they experience the second moment of powerful emotion and their abstraction will change to represent their new self. They'll still hold onto a previous piece of their abstraction as everyone still retains a piece of themselves, but it'll be so weak that it would be nowhere near the strength of the original.

I also rewrote the said lore bible in case you all wanna see it... well, I'll show you some parts bc there's some heavy spoilers here and there.
