[OOC] Doll Master

[kittenlover]

I'll be posting for a five of my characters, so it'll be one heck of a post! xD

[VitaVitaAR]

Also... I am currently trying to figure out why nailguns actually hurt Dolls.

Any suggestions? ^^;

[RolePlayerRoxas]

Getting stabbed by one can hurt.

[kittenlover]

Seven words; allergic to special ingredient inside of nail! >:3

[Rin]

They were supposed to be weak against railguns but the manufacturers made a typo.

[Major Ursa]

How about...the nails/ammunition are made and supplied to them by a (secret) marionette of some dangerous puppeteer, though they don't know it, just so there is an increased number of people who can harm dolls?

[VitaVitaAR]

Hmm, but the nails have been around for a long time...

An ingredient seems like the most likely option.

Also pfft Rin.

[Krinos Solstice]

I already have Nina's post figured out, Xavier on the otherhand, I leave those details to my partner.

On a side note, I'm not feeling particularly well today, so I've decided to rest for the day. I'll be checking up though, so I don't fall behind.

[Major Ursa]

Maybe the puppeteer has been around for a while...? Being a puppeteer in a different sense of the word? (manipulating the doll hunters?)
Or...the nails could be make from killed/destroyed dolls/puppeteers...? Dunno?

[Rin]

Clearly the dolls are actually fey, and the nails are made of cold iron.

[VitaVitaAR]

Pfffft.

... To be fair, I was actually trying to invoke... something like that when I initially came up with the idea, but the Dolls aren't fey.

[chukklehed]

How about this? The nails are made using a special process, which involves forging them of Cold Iron (by the way, some people, including myself, believe that "Cold Iron" refers to the way it was shaped, IE by cold forging it, instead of it being a special kind of metal, just a fun fact), then soaking it in water infused with wolfsbane, mistletoe berries, and hawthorn wood. The reaction is more scientific than magical in reality, that combination just happens to be poison to them.

[Major Ursa]

I don't know...it just makes sense if they exploited dolls or puppeteers for working ammunition...

Yay! My idea wins! *does a happy dance*

Not really. What are they gonna do? Puppeteers would kill them on sight just because, and a Doll isn't exactly going to hand out information on how to kill them.

[VitaVitaAR]

One of my vague ideas for the nails, following how this discussion has gone, is that the ingredient that makes them harmful to Dolls is the blood of a Doll.

... But I don't know how they would get that or why it specifically needs to be a nail. ^^;

Dunno...maybe the first doll masters were confused, or scared, and betrayed their partner dolls 'cause they thought them demons? The ammunition are loaded with the blood/pieces of the original dolls, or something...?

[chukklehed]

I'm sticking with my explination that coldforged iron, wolfsbane, mistletoe and hawthorn are poison when used together. The nail part is just superstition.

You know, those stuff are poisonous to humans too...especially getting shot, humans don't handle that too well.

[VitaVitaAR]

The problem with it being poison is that if that's all it was it wouldn't even be able to pierce a Doll's skin. All weapons, or anything strictly from the human world, do nothing to Dolls, Marionettes, and Puppeteers. Except for Doll Hunter nailguns.

What I mean by that is that swords will bend, or even break, and bullets will just bounce off of them. Similar things happen to any other weapons. Dolls are totally invulnerable to everything but other Dolls, Puppeteers and Marionettes, and Doll Hunter nailguns.

So there really does need to be something special there, and the ingredient explanation seems like a logical one. Hmm.
