[OOC] Blood Compact, Revamped(Yay bad puns!)

[thewizardguy]

I love it when my characters can just not give a shit when everyone expects them to. Also, Jack is way evil. Like, Gabriel is a puppy compared to this guy.

[akje]

Well, you nuked half the cast. interesting.
So... Permission to do something weird?

[Wraithblade6]

Fuck I'm dead. Goddamnit Martin. :P

[thewizardguy]

Don't worry, anyone can state their SOLDIER character were outside of the blast range. And I have a rule about killing characters. If I state that an action will result in death, and they do it anyway, then that action will result in death. BioHIVE doesn't give a shit about human casualties, and neither does Jake.
However, it's possible that some bits of Martin and Mithias had survived, allowing them to slowly regenerate.

[akje]

Well this was necessary for an idea I was getting to, a bit sooner than expected. And the goal was 'hovering on death's door'. Close enough.
If you guys are cool with it I'm going to push trough with this story. It would mean I'd be calling that Martin and Mythias survive this barely, maybe several of the human characters I can't say yet. It kind off steps into the domain of magic though. I don't think it's any more 'magic' than for example the illusions of magnus or the things Gabriel has done so far.

Still. You guys agree? Realism wise, it's iffy. Narative wise, it's pretty cool methinks.

[Wraithblade6]

I'm interested in what brilliant idea Akje has for survival and if it's going to help save my ass.

Otherwise, I will be a bloody mess regenerating in a corner for a while.

[Wraithblade6]

well, tell us more. I don't want to push this epic tale into the realm of unicorns and fairies.

[akje]

It's darker than that of course :)
I'm going to write some things down. It'll take a few minutes.

Hmmm...... we've steered quite far away from the realm of magic, and I don't want people throwing fireballs or casting spells. However, Shikaru is the final judge on this.

[Wraithblade6]

fyi. this is what just happened.

I'd like my magic to have a little more vague role. It shouldn't be a 'power', a utility to use when necessary. It should be a narrative device. More like the original Dracula.
I agree that we don't want warcraft wizards. But I can definitely agree with lotr wizards.

[Wraithblade6]

You know, I don't mind the idea of Martin having some pretty deep mind powers, but actual magic controlling life and death? Nah that's godlike. He's a day-old vamp. It's amazing he has as much power as he does. Dracula is very cool, but... I vote no on weird godly magic and stuff. It seems like an easy way out AND its too much free-license to do whatever you want. we need rules, we need physics, although it's ok to be creative. Just be smart. Think of a way to live without hoopy-doopy magic.

That's my vote.

Now, i can work with what you just posted, as it could be some freaky death-dream Mithias has as he's blown away to bits, but I think i can recover myself within the bounds of this game.

See what Shikaru says.

I hadn't gotten to the magic yet. It's all Martin's imagination.
This is them both being blown to bits and starting to regenerate. Mitheas could read minds right? Martin allows him in completely, since all they have at this point is a mind.
The things described are all in martin's head. not real.

I was planning on having them talk things trough while they regenerate, and there were some points I had idea's where magic comes into play. Like several idea's that might help them get back faster.

[Wraithblade6]

I got an idea, and I'm going to start writing it. In case you're curious, here's a teaser:

Well, so far we've established it's possible for vampires to be psychic, somehow. Gabriel is the most powerful of them all, using illusions and trickery to convince others he has powers he really doesn't. However, I don't want anything like telekinesis, breathing fire, or stuff like that.

I agree. Then magick would become gimmiky. Preferably i'd like it to remain mysterious and weird.

As for Martin's way of percieving the world (not right now but as a vampire):
Say you are wearing a t-shirt with a funny text.
A human can read the text, hear it spoken, he can taste and smell and feel the fabric.
A vampire can read and hear it from a much larger distance.
Martin can sense none of those things. But he knows where you are, that you are wearing a shirt and that it's your favorite one.

I meant it to be just as powerful as regular senses, just completely different.

So it's like a kind of super-empathy?
