I see, I see.
Well since the OOC is not yet up, I would like to discuss character ideas beforehand.
First off, what manifestations of being a mage exist (yes, I think you can figure out what this is leading to)?. I know it states that magic use causes some kinds of rift in the fabrics of time, thus causing nearby machines to be dysfunctional, however, these are effects perceived only when magic is actually used. What if, for instance, a certain mage has chosen not to perform spells in a certain scenario; is there then a passive manifestation of his magic use or does he appear simply as an ordinary person?
So yes, I think you've guessed it. My final question is, well, putting into assumption that the characters we create cannot be other than the dispatch of "Mage Slayers and capable warriors" sent by the Vigil's remaining council members, how plausible, if at all possible, is a Mage Slayer character who is a former mage having escaped prior detection?
Well actually, I plan on creating a character, not a Mage Slayer, but among the enlisted "capable warriors" who, unbeknownst to the faction she serves, is actually a mage, secretly planning to revolutionize the common perspective of mages by carving out a benevolent mark in the world herself and searching for like-minded men who believe that magic could be made useful to mankind (of course I'm speaking the stretch of time before she actually reveals her true self). However, as a woman presently of her own, she plans to play by the game of the council first, before carrying out her plans. Your thoughts?
