I'm just being nosey
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:09:26 PM)
Sling any questions you may have and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. 6_^
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:10:41 PM)
Alright- Would a fearful occultist even be feasible for a Scourge? Basically the kind of person that constantly thinks she's getting cursed/chased by spirits. I know the lust for knowledge is normally a fiend thing, but...I thought it'd be interesting to play. >>
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:11:47 PM)
Yea, especially if it was an actual mental condition such as scitzophrenia. If bad enough, it can send people into a catatonic state. A point ripe for demonic posession.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:12:24 PM)
As for it being a scourge, rather than a fiend, it could have simply been the damage mind that called to her more than the thralls interest.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:13:07 PM)
The mind was obviously very wounded by something that had let to such a severe mental condition. For an awakenings scourge especially, I could see that being a reasonable lure.
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:13:58 PM)
Awesome. :D Also, Demeanor is mostly the nature of the possessed human, and Nature is the demon's personality, right? I found that a bit confusing.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:15:17 PM)
That's a good way of looking at it. However, depending on your legacy background, your demon will have a greater and greater effect on the mortal personality. As more and more memories of life before the pit return to her, more and more of the host will be lost. The human body was -never- meant to house the true epic nature of a being who took part in creation of reality. It can only contain so much
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:16:40 PM)
I've got a legacy of 3, hmm... Also, what part of the book specifically talks about demons being able to sense other demons? I...can't seem to find it because...I fail. XD;
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:16:44 PM)
When in your apocalyptic form though, you shed the mortal form. So the mortals physical and mental merits and flaws no longer apply. It's also unlike personality quirks of the mortal will survive the transformation as well.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:17:53 PM)
One sec, let me find you pages.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:18:53 PM)
253 will discuss being percieved when it comes to mortals, either through lore usage or revelation of apocalyptic form
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:20:07 PM)
Page 172 discusses the demon's innate supernatural awareness.
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:21:16 PM)
Awesome, thanks. :D
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:21:36 PM)
Once you have somehow percieved a demon, through seeing them in apocalyptic form or using awareness to sense them, you use legacy to remember them. The rule on this chat is intelligence + legacy difficulty: 8 minus target's eminence background I believe.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:21:56 PM)
It may be diff: 10 minus eminence though. My memory is a little shaky on Steev's ruling for that one
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:23:04 PM)
Awesome. About how long should the history be, generally? I tend to write at least a page, but I find it hard to go on and on and on. >>
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:24:04 PM)
Well, demons are usually inately a little larger than any other character because you write a history for pretty much 3 different characters. First the demon as he was before being imprisoned in the abyss, then the mortal before they were possessed, and then the hybrid that leads up into game entry.
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:24:31 PM)
That being said, if you can pretty much get all the facts across in a small amount of space. More power to you.
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:25:02 PM)
*nods* Makes sense.
acidrica OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:26:01 PM)
Thanks for the help! I think I'll go run and finish my history now. :D
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:26:13 PM)
Any time. ^_^

Was there anything I could help you with Rose? Demon history, concept, lore mechanics, thrall mechanics, etc?
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:27:27 PM)
I think I have it- just have to wait and see what steev says about my sheet- like I said was just being nosey
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:28:53 PM)
No worries. Just making sure.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:29:22 PM)
*nods* unless you really want ot help me name the big sheep dog something riduclous that will make people think it's a pomaranian before they meet it
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:30:05 PM)
Po-pi?
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:30:31 PM)
lol- so far the winning name someone has suggested is fifi
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:30:41 PM)
ahh, fi fi is a good one
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:31:05 PM)
I thought about maybe baby and see how many people got the refrence- but then I decided I would just feel old if I did that
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:31:24 PM)
lol
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:38:46 PM)
it would date me- though I'm not old enough to remember the movie from when it was popular
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:39:14 PM)
I've never really been a movie person, even as a child.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:39:26 PM)
I've always loved movies
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:40:04 PM)
I watch some, but usually just stuff like star wars, comic book movies, etc. lol
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:40:21 PM)
there have actually been good comic book movies recently
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:40:46 PM)
Yea, there really have. The iron man movies, for instance, were wicked. As was watchmen
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:41:12 PM)
eh I didn't like watchmen- I thought it lost what the comic had- but I'll agree with you on the ironman movies
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:41:45 PM)
Yea, the graphic novel was much better of course. But to see stuff like Mr. Manhatten come to life? Still worth mention in my opinion.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:42:35 PM)
it had some very pretty special effects- but I felt like it lost the story- I know most people don't agree with me but is still what I think
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:42:50 PM)
Fair enough. ^_^
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:43:55 PM)
usualy it works better for me if I see the movie with out having read the comic book though- like I really enjoyed constantine- but if I'd konwn what hellblazer was going in I would have been so dissappointed- same with V for Vendetta
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:44:32 PM)
Yea, that's usually true. Memoirs of the Geisha was the same way, in my opinion.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:44:40 PM)
haven't seen or read that
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:44:58 PM)
Though I had read the book first and still would recomend the movie, it certainly wasn't as good as the book.
Jacqueline Rose Leblanc (Oct 14, 2010 11:45:06 PM)
that's cool
Omen OOC (Oct 14, 2010 11:53:17 PM)
Welp. I'm gonna slide back to the ooc room to keep an eye out for steev, hehe
