Rayne getting the fuck humbled out of him >8)
Is it wrong that I like to see my own characters suffer?

Oops! Forgot to write mission and character name on my post. Edited that in.
Whoops. Me too.
It's like there's always a four-edit phase of noticing spelling errors and fixing formatting errors after each of my posts
Royal Blood- Rayne Walker
On the false assumption that his introduction established a rapport with the Crown-Prince, Rayne had pushed forward with an attempt to take the reigns of this quest and institute dominance within the group. Misunderstandings with what Xavier felt about him, likely mixed with the false fact that the man believed Rayne was from Renalta, lead to him taking what Rayne believed was a slyly delivered reminder as a threat on his daughter's life. Xavier was under the impression, now, that Rayne did not trust his family, and took his chance to bluntly show that distrust was mutual. Of course, this act was an accidental benefit to Xavier, as Rayne truly did not trust him, but it would be easier for the false hero if his deception had succeeded.
Interesting, the fact that Xavier kept Penelope at arms length yet did not show any signs of understanding that she could be dangerous. He must have some other wall, a separate divide between himself and his own daughter; Rayne would love to look into, take grasp of and exploit this weakness, if only he had the time. He had previously pierced the shell of Penelope's traumatized mind and convinced her to open up to him, but he had no idea whether his misstep would be too much to repair the fragile relationship he had with the princess. And, of course, Auric stepped into Penelope's good graces by stepping over him; should Rayne ever find it beneficial to end Auric's life, he decided in that moment that he would take his time to enjoy it. However, one member of the group being seen positively in the princess' eyes was useful despite it not being Rayne himself, so maybe ending the annoying man's life would have to wait until their business in the capital was concluded.
Penelope herself was an interesting case. An already complex situation, made even more complicated by the presence of a mysterious advisor (yet another divide between the royal family made clear by her negative feelings towards this Mauvais woman, a potential point of entry for later manipulation), and her relevance in this quest was rising at an alarming rate. There were a great many questions, all coming from this one source, but the most impactful detail was her easy understanding of Rayne's intent with the 'watch over your daughter' comment. Ironic how he gave Xavier too much credit and in the same breathe gave Penelope too little. Rayne would not make the same mistake again with the princess, as blind underestimation was more a quality befitting the Crown-Prince than him.
Deep in thought, he barely realized that the women of his group had divided themselves and taken Penelope with them. He had no faith in their ability to keep watch over Penelope- in a city like this, Penelope being kidnapped or finding a perfect moment to slip away unnoticed would not be difficult- so he simply hoped that they would be observant enough to assure her safe return. Perhaps time apart would allow Rayne to find a way to get on the princess' good side... maybe key information on the advisor she hated so much?
Rayne's history in Renalta allowed any who knew his name to understand that he could Soulwalk, so he knew that this was a tool he could use openly. Looking to his two companions, he simply said "Before I leave, I need to concentrate on something for a moment. If I take too long, just start making your way to the shop and I'll catch up." With a nod and a smile, he hoped that his companions understood that he did not want to discuss this further, as there were likely more ears then theirs in the room, but did not give them the chance to respond. Sitting straight in his chair, eyes closed, Rayne slipped into the familiar power of Soulwalking, launching his consciousness towards the Crown-Prince.

Okay, thanks for the info.

Like everything in Renalta, soulwalking can be detected and resisted, mainly by those with mental abilities or training, like diplomats, politicians, mages, telepaths, etc. At first it can only be used to spy, not to control. It can be developed later on to service whatever purposes you have in mind. :p
So are Soulwalkers able to simply walk around as spirits or just hop into people's heads?
Question: does Soulwalking have a chance of the target realizing what's happening to them? If so, what affects a target's ability to detect Soulwalking?
I need to know this for my next post.
Edit: I read the Soulwalker description again and have another question. Does Soulwalking only allow the user to 'jump' into someone's body or does it allow them to walk around as a spirit AND hop into a person's body at will? If moving around as a spirit is possible, are there common ways of people detecting and seeing spirits?

Thanks for the new post, Brovo. Are you going to put up the rolls like you did with the last Royal Blood post?
Also, another question on Soulwalking: are people able to feel or detect someone else in their heads when someone is Soulwalking in them?

Mikan can send Kouri the message, then spend her time helping Xavier put the physical evidence together or try to catch up to one of our groups. If she does join one of the split-up teams, it should be Rayvon and Ceann so each group is made up of three members. Even odds of not getting ambushed and slaughtered, I think.
Alright, sorry for taking a week to make my post.
Looks like no one else on Team Royal Blood has posted. I'd love to get your character's reactions to Rayne trying to throw himself into the leader position.
