Ok! You're next on the pickup list! Just waiting for Gwen to get ready.

@ianzerepHey mate, got a couple questions for you.

1. I mentioned in my last post how my characters could combine their powers for more powerful effects. I was wondering if that's cool with you? I'm assuming it is, since you haven't commented on it, but I wanted to make sure.

2. This is yet another question about the Soul control ability. Could a Soul Existence controller make temporary telepathic links into other people's minds? If yes, is there any limits you'd want put on it, such as requiring eye contact or limited number of links/duration/distance? Again, from the way you described the Soul ability, it sounds like this is cool, but I'm just checking. :)

3. And this is something I'm not so sure about, since it sounds like something that may or may not be OP for a second year student. Could one who is a controller of Soul do a mass scale illusion, for a lack of a better word? As in, they'd trick everybody around them into thinking something was happening/existed when it didn't? This, uh, may or may not tie in with the Lightwood twins's prank.

@Aragorn
No prob. This world has a lot of grey areas, so I'm happy to explain for you.

1) Combinations are awesome, both fighting styles, work groups, special moves, and everything in between. Go for it :D

2) Telepathic links are capable for Soul users, and there is actually a certain pair within the Government that take that concept to a whole different level. For those who aren't learned users of it, contact of either skin or eye contact is a must, unless the two involved are deeply connected. Soul isn't only about the mind and soul, it also includes the bonds between others.

3) If you are willing to expend enough Aeon to blow up the whole Academy (which a student wouldn't USUALLY have), and only have it work for the single moment for that burst of Aeon, then sure. I would say that at your level, Ulrich doesn't have enough control to do a mass scale illusion, using up more Aeon in excess than actually doing anything. Of course, that amount would only pertain to the size of a full auditorium, he could probably influence about 20 people, give or take, for a period of time (1 minute). The time would longer for every less person there is. Remember, you're still a second year student, and not able to screw over a small town... Yet.

@ianzerep

Awesome. And regarding the telepathy, I suppose that means Jacob would have a real easy time connecting with his sister since they are both related and twins. And seeing as he's a second year, I was thinking about making him able to talk telepathically to any nearby(as in, same room) people without direct contact, but not be able to do it over a long distance(with the exception being his sister). And regarding the illusion thing, alright I was kind of expecting that. Plan B then. :)

[ianzerep]

@Aragorn
How big of a room are we talking here? I have a sort of limit, myself, but I want to know how much of a limit a 2nd year should have in your mind.

[Aragorn]

@ianzerep

I'd say like your average classroom. Is that okay?

[ianzerep]

@Aragorn
No prob. Go nuts XD

[Polaris North]

@RiverMaiden

I'd like to think Ulrich can deal with anyone. Lillian, on the other hand, would rather just watch.

[RiverMaiden]

@Polaris North
Haha. I'm almost finished. Just got to flesh out the Personality more...

[RiverMaiden]

Name: Nephilis Bragwren
Age: 367

Species: Daemon, Dullahan

Aspect: Existence

Discipline: Spirit, Magic

Medium: Her scythe, Gunther. She can use Spirit without the weapon, using her Will instead, but Magic is unusable without her scythe.

Appearance:

A 1X year old female teen. Her cold, blue colored skin is always covered by long, white hair that runs all the way down to her waist. Her 5'10" height allows her to tower over most people, staring into their souls, brown eyes with yellow scalera piercing into them. Her blank look is always present, along with a black horse that follows her everywhere.

Personality: She's apathetic to the highest degree. Her endless wandering and Spirit gathering in Hellios has made her lose sight of the wonders in life, withering and chipping at her like she does to the Spirits in Nevada.
She doesn't like, nor dislike anything in particular, doing whatever she pleases without taking in account for anyone or anything around her. Talking with her will be rough, let alone becoming her friend, and will take weeks upon weeks of chipping at her jaded heart to finally see what lies underneath.

In truth, her act towards others is all that it is: an act. She actually does care about everyone around her, and helps others through her actions, even if at the time they may seem to be selfish. She is very lonely, and wants to make friends with others, but is afraid that they will die and become one of the many Spirits that she would one day consume. She has no care for the dead, knowing that the person that they once were had already disappeared by the time they became a Spirit, but will give her acclamations of someone who had done much with their time of living.

Bio: Like all dullahan, Nephilis traveled around Hellios, taking and consuming the Spirits that haunted the land, living a boring life with no purpose other than to survive... Until she heard of a new Academy, which taught students of every Race. At first, she didn't believe it, waiting for the day that the Academy would be found out as a fraud, or crash and burn. Two years later, and it still hadn't fallen, but the dullahan still didn't believe, telling herself that she would only be setting herself up for failure. The third year passed, and she had enough, sending in her application for the fourth year of enrollment for A.E.I.O.U. Now, as a second year student in the fifth year of the Academy's lifespan, Nephilis finally believes that she lives for a different purpose than just living. She just needed to understand what the purpose was...

Electives: Combat and Existence Control

Extra:
-Unlike the dullahan of stories, who only get off their horses to kill a man with their voices, Nephilis is always off of her horse, only getting onto "Ashes" when she wishes to move across long distances. Nonetheless, the horse will follow her everywhere, and won't die until she does.
-Everything she has, from her clothing to her scythe, is made of Spirits. If someone ever broke her connection to Aeon, even for a second, all of her creations would change back into Spirits, leaving her weaponless and naked.
-Secretly loves animals, but you would never be able to see her pet one in public. Maybe in an enclosed room, with no windows to see through and a locked door, but not in public. The only exception is "Ashes", whom she will groom and pet however she wants, whenever she wants, and damn everyone else.
-The body and the head of Nephilis are two different entities. While they may have similar personalities, they think in different ways, and can act independently from the other. Only when the head is placed on it's rightful place, will Nephilis have complete control of both body and mind.

@RiverMaiden

Oh Ulrich would have fun talking with her. I think his first question would be, "Can't you ever put your head on?"

[RiverMaiden]

@Polaris North
*screws head into place ontop of her neck, but it's backwards*...Yes.

[Polaris North]

@RiverMaiden

That would probably creep him out and make him excited and happy at the same time.

[ianzerep]

@RiverMaiden
Approved :D
The shenanigans that can be pulled with this character XD
Where is she going to be picked up? I'm thinking Hellios, but by all means.

[RiverMaiden]

My thoughts are the same. She will be in Hellios, by the shore waiting for "The Blight".

[greywolf375]

@ianzerep np, I'll do it after class. Also, what limitations are there for a second year seals user? Also, for a seal, does it require constant expenditure of aeon? Or just a one off cost?

[ianzerep]

@greywolf375
Bigger the thing being sealed, the more Aeon used. I would say sealing an object of about a 20 foot size(height, width, and length) would be the limit before using too much. Remember, you have only just recently finished your 1st year.

Sealing an actual sentient being is a different story, having to use blood to fuel the sealing along with Aeon. The stronger the sentient's control over them self and Aeon, the hard they'll be to seal. The blood amount is up to your discretion.

[ianzerep]

The sealing will need two bursts of Aeon, one at the sealing, and another at the releasing (If you ever choose too). If sealing a sentient being, blood must be shed for both events as well.

[greywolf375]

@ianzerep thankies! Gonna pm you now

[Aragorn]

@Polaris North

Hey, I left Jacob open for interaction if you want one of your characters to go over and talk to him. Just thought I'd let you know.
