Kray is with Ephebe and Lysander at the old temple.
He waved at you OOC like :P
Yup! I remember that bit.
Oh, Vakkler is off slurk-wrangling, yeh? Fieri is with Jiminy. Errrr...no idea about the instructors, they tend to be all over. Anyone else?
I put it under Solivala because it involves him. I find it easier then creating an alias for the pocket watch, gate, creation, clockwork messanger, cat, etc etc.
But I will put it in text when I post in the future to avoid confusion.
You don't have to make an alias for every character you have for narration purposes.
Case and point, the alias I'm using for this post.
Sent a short email, Iynora.
Jim is in the Auditorium, waiting on Headmaster Ryo.

Ryo is in a sealed off hallway working(with Filne) working on repairing the school.
Ruji is napping in the rafters somewhere.
Taron and Kam are in their room, with Kam recovering from the invasion.
Alton(someone Nasima doesn't know yet) is... I'm going to say walking back to his room with poor, injured, Ember(a red rat) in his arms.
I think that's it as far as my main characters go.
To clarify, the 'knothole' Fear is glaring at is Creation.
Sorry if Fear's appearance seems forced. He's only there because Creation is, if it helps.

No, it's cool. Makes sense in a way. Time and Death are the only ones whose Champions weren't wiped out in the last attack from Madness. That's got to create some resentment and suspicion on the part of the other patrons. Especially in light of the recent need for alliance to deal with the current Champion of Madness.
It's getting a bit more difficult not to give away the identity of the Champion of Madness and I've dropped a few hints without meaning to.:)
Really? I haven't noticed any... Huh.
^.^
You're the one I was most worried about figuring it out too soon, what with the minor telepathy and all. ;P
Post ninja's the lot of you. ;)
Well better late then never. Btw I have no clue who madness is or his champion so I guess your doing a good job.
I'm not playing with you guys anymore. You don't respect my CHARACTERS.
And I'm taking my TOYS, too.
*Grabs the ugly doll nobody wanted to play with and runs off*
;)
Dangit! I was gonna animate that ugly doll. 'Twas going to be my homunculus.
LOl I thought Alton was the champion of Madness...
Guess I was way off...

He's not a homunculus, he's a SUPER POWERFUL WIZERD. >:[

Yeah, way off, considering the sheer amount of knowledge I have to deal with...
Okay, it's about time I flesh out my Champion's powers.
Power #2: Dread. Basically, Yervicc can spread a general emotion among a very large group of people. If not noticed, it's nearly impossible to resist. It can be dread, of course, but it can also be suspicion, or anger, or pretty much anything. Dread's most effective, though.
Power #3: Not dying. This isn't actually a power, and it's a major secret. Basically, if his death isn't absolutely assured, Yervicc lives. He's essentially immune to Disney Villain Deaths. He also has a +10 luck bonus to his AC and saves.
Power #4: Fearless. Pretty simple. Barely even a power, but Yervicc can't be frightened.
Will these work?
Creation is not picking on Fear. He picks on all aspects equally every chance he can get. Thats the reason Death and Time stay in forts where Creation can not get in most of the time......ok about half the time.....except on thursdays......thats poker night. Trickery is not welcome on thursdays, he cheats. XD
Deception, not trickery.
Trickery is but one of the many little facets of the whole...
Nope, no clue yet. Of course, I've been dropping hints and clues too, and I'm still waiting for a certain question to be asked. Maybe it's only obvious to me because I keep expecting it to be asked?
Champion of Madness though: Ephebe?
Don't know if it's the question but:
Hah! No way! You can't be Champion of two things at once. Not even if there's two of you. Which there isn't. Anymore. :)
Creation is not picking on Fear. He picks on all aspects equally every chance he can get.
Why are those mutually exclusive concepts?

Tricky, tricky...
Creation is not only picking on Fear. He picks on all aspects equally every chance he can get.
Correction made above. ;)

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you. ;P
That's what my IRL DM always tells me. :P
So, are Fear's bestowed powers balanced?
So, are Fear's bestowed powers balanced?
Yes, I would say so, compared to what most of the others are getting.
Sorry guys I am slow today. I think the whole balance thing is good, explains a good bit.
~Hm...on the other hand, somebody else may get to the old clockwork first. His obnoxious egomania is why his champions are always getting killed.~
Aren't all the champions always getting killed?
~Silence. It just got good. The rude boy is stuck in rock, I think.~
Are you eavesdropping? Tsk, tsk.
~Are you working on those complications?~
Yessir, on it, sir.
"You know I can hear you right. Your not Deception, you cant really hide from me. We oldies didn't get that way by being sort on juice sonny."
Chuckles as he reaps mental devestation.

Yeeeeah, that's so blatantly impossible that it's a good thing you posted it here. :P
First, Fear is just as old as Creation. As long as there has been somebody to create, there has been fear in that someone. Creation can taunt Fear all he likes, but he's technically wrong.Second, he can't overhear. Maaaaybe Knowledge could, but I believe Patrons have a history of being able to hide their activities from others. Creation has no reason to be able to overhear Fear's private conversations with his own Champion.
Third, he can't devastate Fear OR Yervicc mentally. He lacks the ability and the jurisdiction, and Fear is of pretty much even power. Like I said, everybody has some fear in them. Except those damned paladins.
Just so we're clear. <D
Fear I would argue is not as old as creation. It depends on how things started out, if you go the "god" route where beings were just created then yes fear could be old but not as old sense creation comes first. :p
If you went the evolution route then fear is not old by an aspects sense of things sense nothing would have even a sense of fear for a few billion years at least.
As for overhearing him that depends as well. How does fear hear whats going on without creation knowing he is there. I would think that close only deception would be able to pull it off maybe. Thats like being right under his nose, its silly to think any aspect would not pick up another at such close range.
When I said devastating his mind I meant that as a result of spooking him. I did not mean he really did anything to him. Kind of like when you play that game where you follow two fingers on each hand from one direction to the other then when they are focused have each one go in a different direction so they get a pain from trying to keep it.
P.S. That game never gets old btw XP
Oh also sense were on the subject. What are the aspect rules per se. I mean is existance like a board game and the champions are the peices. All the aspects are aware of each others moves on the board but cant say anything to their champions, only able to take a hands off tactic. Or are aspects flying blind like their champions and they just make things up as they go?
Vai calls dibs on the the Champion of Crying In The Bathroom.

O.o
No one told me their was a Crying aspect......or is that a offshoot of Dispair.....to many aspects. Why dont we just call it a resort, welcome to Agartha aspect getaway planet. We have plenty of activities for you concepts of absolute power. Over here we have cowering townsfolk, a personal favorite of Fear. To your right we have the plain of endless battle, Wrath likes to spend his sunny afternoons their with a lawn chair. Up ahead we have the nexus, an area where time shifts on a whim. Later I will show you the Graveyard where every being who has ever died can be visited to be paid final respects, Death finds it very relaxing. Come along now and dont wonder off.

From the perspective of the aspects, the gods are like pets and mortals are like microorganisms. It's pretty hard for them to communicate. They're mostly concerned with each other and then concerned with the gods who are always doing things that throw the balance of power off. The only reason that they notice mortals at all is because of the Champion system that they came up with to keep balance (mostly) between themselves, or at least enough that the whole universe doesn't go spinning off into chaos...and not one iota more. They're a little more involved than usual right now because of the actions of Madness so they're paying more attention than usual to the Champion 'game'. (It's kinda like death chess.) They are able to keep information from each other and information being traded back and forth is a big part of the strategy. And how much they choose to share with their Champion is also a part of the strategy. Sometimes you gain a lot more by letting a Champion act in ignorance.
Went to class and so much happened.

Obvious solution: Don't go to class.

Even more obvious solution. Check thread while in class. I do.;)
Disclaimer: There are some classes this does not work for, and I honestly wouldn't recommend it at all for someone who isn't ADHD and able to bounce between topics quickly. :)
Get no signal on my phone so cannot check with that. I do not bring laptop to class so it stays safe so no go there. Finally only one class has computers I can get to easily but teacher can see the screen.

Ah, that sucks. My college has no phone signal either. It's like the black hole of cell signal. At least there's wi-fi. I used to take my laptop to class to take notes, but I kept running out of battery, so now I'm really happy to have an ipad. :)
Oh yeah Lynora for all the story arc type stuff do you want an email or attachments in said email?

attachments can be dicey with the ipad, so there's a chance I wouldn't be able to read them unless I was at home. For things you want me to look at during the day, email is definitely better.
I see email it is than thanks for answering.

In order:
If somebody is doing the creating, fear would be around at the same time as the creation of patrons occurred. Because everybody has fear. At the most, Fear would be one or two seconds younger if you follow the 'spontaneous generation' route. As long as there's sentience, there must be emotions, and there must be caution and a flight reflex. That's my reasoning.And why would Creation have any reason to overhear stuff? You have no idea where Fear is, and overhearing isn't one of Creation's "shticks". And if Fear (who would logically be good at hiding)is intentionally concealing the convo...yeah, I don't believe. :P
