[OOC] Spirit Guardians: The Call of a Butterfly [REBOOT]

[Obscene Symphony]

@Obscene Symphony
Following quote is from the original RP forum, feel free to say it is no longer relevent, but this was approved by Inkd Bull as an explanation: Am I right to think of it as this: The guardian and the human soul link the first time, creating their bond. After that, soul link becomes a battle tactic. The guardian has a form, visible to other guardians and people with guardians and usually is seen with their counterpart, maybe occasionally going somewhere else. The Guardian has to use the human as a 'conductor' for their power in the human world. They are strongest together, and thusly use this bond as a way to protect people and defeat evil. To summarize: They are two distinct entities, soul link is used to fight, they are connected by a bond and feel safer together, spirit transgressions must be dealt with by their human.

@RaeoftheLight

Yes. Perfect.

@sakurasan Guardians could always talk to each other; it was language barriers between humans we were worried about XD (and solved)

@sakurasan @Obscene Symphony
Yeah, I'm going to say that they can wander off, but as their job is pretty much to protect and care for their charge, there'd have to be a reason for them to leave for any amount of time.

Regarding how they appear, it was briefly discussed in the last thread, so I'll get it down here.

Basically, the guardian can choose to appear as either their true form or as their butterfly form to other guardians and soul-bound humans. To normal humans, however, they'll always appear as simply a butterfly.

In terms of how they can interact with the world, they're pretty much ghosts that can decide whether they are tangible or not at any given moment. So if they choose to, they can pass through walls, or they can make themselves solid and interact with the real world around them.

I'm not sure if they'd necessarily be stronger around their human, but being close to their human means they can soul-link at any time, which would make them stronger than your average wandering spirit.

@Cenco

Listen to this one, yo!

When I get interested in something I tend to remember almost everything, and all the pertinent information of the 1st post I can pretty much recall (〃￣ω￣〃)ゞ

[sakurasan]

@Obscene Symphony Ummm... So there isn't a language barrier right? We can just talk to people and all?

@sakurasan

Yep! You speak to everyone in your own language (or whatever language, if you know others) and the person hearing you automatically understands, regardless of their native language. In Aaron's case, he could sign to someone and they would just *know* what he's saying. Someone could speak to him in Japanese and he would just *know* what they were saying. Meanwhile, some normal human would be looking on wondering how a deaf German and a hearing Japanese are having a conversation. Make sense? No language barrier, even though they are speaking different languages.

[sakurasan]

@Obscene Symphony Great! Because language barriers in Rp's are a pain in the arse~

Just noticed that Joker looks a bit creepy as faqe.

@Cenco Are there uniforms or no? Because if not, she'll just be going around in a sleek suit most of the times~

[Cenco]

@sakurasan
An excellent question, and one I'll have to get back to you on shortly.

no im not googling 'japanese school uniforms' to see if there's any good ones shut up

[sakurasan]

@Cenco She doesn't like school skirts xD she would just wear the boys uniform dammit.

[Cenco]

WOW look at this obscenely large (RPG coming through with that auto-resize, thanks fam) image that I definitely had ready in the event that anyone asked about uniforms!

I'm not kidding when I say it's big

As this is basically an anime and not real life, we're going to say that the school does not care at all how your character rocks their fresh uniform, as long as they are wearing it and not running around campus naked. They can wear thigh-highs, have an extra long skirt, wear their tie or bow-tie unprofessionally loose and (@sakurasan) can even wear the opposite gender's uniform should they so wish.

Hurray for individualism.

[sakurasan]

@Cenco Whooooo! She can rock that male uniform for sure~

[RaeoftheLight]

@Cenco
Nova totally going to wear her uniform like the cute short brown haired girl with the headband.

[sakurasan]

Akira would just wear the males uniform and on days she doesn't want to, wear it like the black haired girl with a female uniform~

[Obscene Symphony]

@Cenco OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM

[sakurasan]

So, so, whose in who's dorm? When is thus starting? Sorry for my impatience >.> I'll stop noe~

[Obscene Symphony]

Does anyone feel like rooming with Aaron? Warning: he plays his music very loud!

@sakurasan don't worry. Impatience is what keeps RP alive.

May be a bit spotty, filling out this long temp agency application. But I am on! I am terrible at concentrating, I often do two things at once to make up for it aha

@RaeoftheLight

What's a temp agency?

[PaulHaynek]

Assuming I'm not banned from here due to my terrible luck...

I must ask, how long does Soul Link last? Is it limited or can it be 'on' all the time?
And can Soul Links be used outside battles?
