[OOC] The Blood Compact

[akje]

<Snipped quote by akje>

Good questions, I had actually been meaning to describe Mo's powers more OOC, I have been dropping hints IC though. So, she is designed to be much like one of my D&D characters that was a druid turned vampire. Just like D&D Druids, Mohowauuck is limited to animals from her native area (which is clearly listed in her CS, btw). Her shapeshifting forms are limited to animals found in North America during and since the times of her human years in the earliest native civilizations - estimated to be well over 10,000 years ago - this limitation keeps her from becoming too OP, no bengal tigers, cougars, Tyrannosaurus Rexes, you know -- more like bears, wolves, foxes, owls, N.A. birds, mountain lions, rabbits, mice, ants, etc.

Also, like druids in D&D (with a high enough level) she does retain her abilities while in wild shape. On that note, I would like to point out another limitation to her powers that has yet to be revealed, just hinted at. Mo's plant speaking and control of plants and the Earth is only effective when she is in communication with the Earth. The way she keeps in communication is through her bare feet on the Earth's terrain, her powers are very much so hindered if she is wearing shoes (which never happens), flying, on pavement, in buildings, etc...

Mohowauuck's comically named "colors of the wind" ability is unhindered. Her emotions and the weather/natural disasters remain connected all the time. It is pretty OP, but with a vampire goddess as old as her, you gotta have a little power-hungry fun. ;]

Also... @thewizardguy, can you clarify on the whole 'Gabriel is now a mayan god thing'? It's not that I don't approve, as my character also wears the face of an ancient god[dess] worshiped by humans, but if Mo were to recognize him as an another god, perhaps there could be some witty banter? :] I'll wait for your explanation before I post in response to Gabriel's drunken offense.

@Silent Observer

I had that druidy vibe. Almost called her shapeshift wild shape a couple of times.

Also, I almost stumbled over the mayan god line as well till I read it again.
Wiz writes how an NPC stumbles and falls over, which is strange because the NPC is a big shot mayan god.
So he's saying Gabe can use his illusion powers to subtly affect his surroundings to an extent that can make a mayan god look foolish.

[thewizardguy]

Explaining Gabriel's trick:

he created an illusion of the floor within the person's perception that was significantly higher than the actual floor, causing the vampire to crash to the ground when attempting to get up from his chair.

And yes, I created an NPC. The sire-kings are all bigshots, so I presumed a Mayan God would not be out of place.

Well it's generally accepted by now that Gabriel is just an OP character.

No denying it :P Perception after all makes reality for humans.
And since this is a human thread not filled with Cyborgs (even Kami managed to fall prey despite probable mechanical assistance in coordinating and targeting attacks).

I suppose Taliesin would already be there. She is after all within Bedivere's local. It would be rude not have her invited just for the sake of formalities, even if Bedivere controls the UK.

@The Grey Dust
Again, put a camera in your place. In all seriousness, I have made Gabriel's all-destroying weakness clear before. It's easily accessible to human and vampire characters alike.

Also, the reasons for Kami no Kage's capabilities will become clear in time. Let's just say there's more to him than I've said in my CS, and there's a reason there's no record of him anywhere, ever.

@akje

The only damage Kami really took was a stab wound in the side and apparently being knocked down by a lucky shot with a tankbuster rifle. Also, the wound didn't bleed for whatever reason and he really doesn't care about pain.

He's completely fine and at full fighting capacity.

[The Grey Dust]

There still must be someone making the judgment call to pull the trigger. Unless you are fine with A I shooting anything that moves or matches certain criteria using algorithms for recognition.

@thewizardguy
Ah IC, I thought he was more busted up by soldier and the werewolves.

@The Grey Dust
That's the way military application of machine rules are set here in our world.
machine lines up the shot, human pulls the trigger.
Who's to say Kami's creator obeyed those laws. He seems to be working along a system where Kami marks people as 'sinner' or 'innocent' beforehand. Then the algorithm shoots everything marked 'sinner'.
Something like that.

[The Grey Dust]

Then that fails to explain how Gabe saved Mithas

[akje]

@McHaggis
I think it reads as him adding to what your character knows.
He's saying he makes eye contact and that Taliesin can instinctively tell by this that he can see through her disguise but has no intention of outing her.

He's not technically controlling your character, it's still up to you what your character does with this information.

Bedivere will explode into a seething ball of pent up rage and fury, deciding to burn the Countryside as a giant Red Dragon.

Inspired by a display of epic fire and rage the barely surviving Martin is inspired to retire and write a novel.
He becomes one of the most loved and hated fantasy writers of his time and is killed by an enraged fan years later just before he finishes his final book.
