General PermissionsMost everything is fine in my book, but for the more outlandish things or extreme circumstances, please ask me ahead of time. Chances are I will still be fine with it, but it never hurts to ask! And I will gladly do the same for you! An example of an "outlandish" occurrence would be Death,
excessive torture, delving into memories (not game event related), that kind of thing.
Either let me know here or get ahold of me on plurk at
aleeeeeeex or Discord at Alexcalibur#2081
Talent and Ka’kari PermissionsBasically, this is about the weird things Kylar can do.
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL
ALWAYS ASK AND ALERT YOU AHEAD OF TIME. But do let me know here if something is absolutely not and never will be okay.
Judgment: Kylar has an ability through the ka’kari that allows him to Judge others. Through this (in canon, at least) he can see a person’s good and bad deeds. Any experiences they've had or one in particular. And he can weigh their souls for innocence or guilt. Should he find them guilty and irredeemable, he will feel compelled to try and kill them. He
does not use this often and will be disinclined to use it on a regular basis. However, I would like to know if he can/can’t use it on your character(s), and if they would be leaning toward innocent or guilty. How to determine this is literally; have they done more good deeds than bad or vice versa. But do know I will
ALWAYS ask ahead of time if he uses this on anyone ever! And if they are guilty and you are willing to roll with some tension then let's handle that on a case-by-case basis. Again, if it's not and never will be okay. Tell me here!
Beyond this, only those with characters who have magic or otherworldly capabilities need to read on.
Or those with a good amount of CR with Kylar - friend(+).
MY MAGICAL SENSES ARE TINGLING: If your character is trained in magic or something of the like and they usually can sense others with the same talents then they will probably be able to sense Kylar within whatever radius you see fit. But, he will also be capable of sensing them in return. So I just need to know if we have a little mutual tinglings going on or not.
Invisibility: Yep. He can go invisible. It’s a problem.
However, if your character is trained in magic (not just gifted but trained) then they will still be able to sense Kylar’s presence even if they can’t see him. If your character is not just trained but a master of their magical perceptive skills then they will be able to distinguish an outline to a human-shaped aura that appears to be devouring the light around it.
Magic Absorption: Kylar’s Talent is fueled by literal energy gathered primarily from heat and energy sources. Usually from sunlight or fires, but he can also absorb others’ raw magical energy and fire/fireballs, too. If attacked with raw magical force or energy he will be able to absorb the energy used and turn it into his own. Icicles, Wind, Rain, and other spells, however, can’t be absorbed. So I’d like to know if other characters’ raw energy attacks can or can’t be absorbed by Kylar. I am very much okay with fire actually burning him for a change.
Immortality and the Pains of Life Absorption: IF YOUR CHARACTER(S) HAVE CLOSE CR WITH KYLAR
READ ON. If not, congratulations, you can keep your beating heart.
While this will hopefully not be an often occurrence, when Kylar dies the ka'kari absorbs the life of a loved one (friend+). Kylar will take about 2 days to come back to life, while his beloved victim has t-minus three months to live. The death of the victim can be any way, shape, or form, so long as it is within 3 months of Kylar's own death. Their deaths can be a freak accident (drowning in a puddle) or an unfortunate battle or turn of events. REGARDLESS, the victim will then be resurrected by in-game means and this will ONLY occur if Kylar is in a
perma-death situation. Please be aware that I will
absolutely alert those with close CR should this situation ever happen and declining is perfectly fine. Again, if this is not fine with you do let me know! If you are okay with this potential happening, then sit back, relax, and wait for Kylar to screw up royally. I will work out details with players and explain things further when such an event occurs.
THAT'S ALL OF IT. Phew. Anyways, please fill out this charming text box and ask any questions you need to here or pester me on plurk or discord (as listed above). THANK YOU SO MUCH, GUYS.
