| [style=width: 350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;][classy=reveal][classy=namehere]more in-depth on species [/classy][classy=desc] ◎ Question: yayyyy my turn. i was wondering about relationships between species. which are ok, and which are not? such as, does a kaito only "get with" another kaito? i know kurori x kaito is a no-no, but what about everyone else? XD XD ◎ GOOD QUESTION ;; While the relationship between Kaito and Kurori, is a rather big no no, there have been some cases, where such things have occurred. Now, a Kurori, may come to love his/her Kaito, more than just a slave/master concept, but, even if such things exist, the Kurori would never REVEAL such things. Doing so, would make the Kaito subjected to immediate death, and the Kurori would be stripped of rank. So, it is not completely BANNED just keep it hidden. As for the other pairings. Normally the obvious one would be a Kaito to another Kaito, this is how a lot of the rebel Kaito are born. Due to the fact that they were not created, they are initially free of any master unlike their parent counterparts. The only way for one of the children of such opportunities to be given a master, is normally a tradition, done by the Kurori when one is born. Instantly at birth the child is taken from his/her parents and given to their future Kurori, so the pair is brought up together, then when they both are at an older age, the Kurori, will place their own spell on the Kaito, however, this spell, is more harmful to the Kaito involved, sometimes even leaving scars, and normally leading up to Kaito that can't shift all the way and only have some parts of their animal. (meh, off topic yus?) As for the other human groups it can happen, but this is even MORE of a rarity than a relationship between a Kaito and a Kurori. Mostly, this is due to the fact that humans are still weary of what Kaito and Kurori are. Just because they are fighting alongside Mel and the other Kaito rebels, does not mean they trust them. This relationship is more along the lines of fear in a way, but just like the Kurori and Kaito relationships there are CHANCES that it will happen, but even so, I would rather not see this pairing just for my own sanity really, due to the fact it would force me to create yet another species. (gomen xP) Hope this helped~[/classy][/classy] [classy=etc] (asked by evangelon)[/classy] [/style] |
| [style=width: 350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;][classy=revealii][classy=namehere]kurori powers[/classy][classy=desc]◎ Question: Ho~ I guess I'll bring up a question. I once asked you about Kurori powers and you said they were "spell" based. I'm hoping to get some more information out of you regarding that. First of these questions being the following: is it intrinsic, specialized, or knowledge based? Although, despite that everyone being able to use it, Elders and Mediums would of course have a lot more experience than a newborn Kurori. Intrinsic meaning that all Kurori are pretty much born knowing how to use it. To others it may seem like magic requiring years of dedicated study, but to them it's as necessary and natural as walking. Specialized meaning that only Kurori can use magic but it takes them a long while to figure out how to use their natural abilities. This would mean that Kurori wouldn't be able to use their abilities until trained in doing so. To compare, it would be like not knowing how to do math (at all or easily) until you went to school and learned it, and after that it would be easy. Of course these abilities would get better with study and experience. Knowledge meaning that everyone can use magic, but only the Kurori really have access to the knowledge or materials needed to do so. This would mean that it would take years of studying to be able to use the simplest forms of it, meaning the Medium and Elder Kurori are the only ones with any "real" power. ◎ For your first question, of the three choices that you gave to me. Intrinsic, would be the closest to it. Really, only Kurori can use anything close to magic. While the new humans have powers, it is nothing like what the Kurori are capable of. Kurori, have the ability to conjure spells of different elements, life, such and such. Where the new humans, only have one gift. Kaito, can only take souls, so they don't really have any powers either, Despite it being easy to learn as walking for a Kurori, discipline is needed to work it. You must have an equal amount of study time and of actual experience. I really like keeping the roleplay as close to real as I possibly can, and not to far out there As for the rank of magic and such among the ranks of Kurori, I would see either a system set up by you (the emperor) and just checked through me, or basically something along the lines of a growing up ceremony type thing. Some spells are taught to the younger Kurori, and the older you get the more you are introduced to bigger spells. That doesn't mean that a Kurori can't go out and teach themselves new spells but maybe as they grow, they learn spells that have been passed down within the clan that they couldn't go out and just "teach" themselves. I don't know, that one can be worked out between me and you later, it doesn't really matter to me much.[/classy][/classy] [classy=etc] (asked by cccxlii)[/classy] [/style] |
| [style=width: 350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;][classy=reveali][classy=namehere]the magic[/classy][classy=desc]◎ Question:What type of magic is it? Natural magic or No magic. The caster simply wills it, speaks the word, or makes a gesture and the spell is cast. In the case of no magic, the spells really aren't magic at all, and can be likened to how a human blinks or a bird flaps his wings. The caster simply contracts a muscle and something amazing happens. Example: Brandon pointed his index finger of his left hand at the target across from him. A bolt of lightning jumps from his fingertip and strikes the target. It explodes into a thousand small burning fragments. Ritual magic. The caster must gather materials and chant for a while, possibly even create a magic circle, to be able to cast a spell. This type could also include some alchemy. Example: Brandon kneels and takes a small piece of chalk from his back pocket. He draws a circle on the ground, then inscribes large runes on the inside of the circle. In the center of the circle, he draws a triangle, where he places a magnetic rock. Brandon throws the chalk aside and places his right hand on the rock. He holds his arm steady with his left hand. Brandon takes a deep breath and then a droll of words pours from his mouth, "Navitas, navitas. Dissolutus, dissolutus. Offendo, incurso, praemo, impello, impingo, percutio, everbero, ICO!" The rock flashes with an eerie light and envelops his hand, which arcs with electricity. Slowly, he raises his hand and points it at the target across from him. There is a terrible crack as lightning travels from his knuckles and obliterates the wooden target. Fantasy magic. A short chant, or just a word. Maybe a small gesture or even a dance. Perhaps a material component or focus for the spell. This is kind of a combination of the last two. EXAMPLE: Brandon approached his target with a prideful air around him. He reaches into a side pouch and withdraws a glass rod wrapped in an animal fur, that formed a kind of handle. The Kurori points it at the target, made of silver and smiles. He speaks in a strange language while waving the rod in a star pattern, "Jhondrol shyr!" His other hand shoots outwards and at the target, a powerful bolt of lightning firing outwards, melting the target. Brandon smiles and lets the rod and fur drop from his hand, but they disintegrate in mid-air before they can hit the ground, apparently a necessary component to the spell. ◎ Answer: The magic I see them doing is a mix of all three of your categories. It would depend on the category of the spell and exactly what the Kurori was trying to do. In some cases like a simple spell to, lets say, heat water up in a glass, I could see just the kurori, being able to touch the glass without saying anything and just using the basic magic they already knew to heat it up. Now, the higher the spell you go, the more you would need. Also, things like the circles and alchemy could be used, to up the power of the current spell. Maybe an example of a circle one would be like a shield around a particular area. Whereas perhaps a spell that strong would normally be something along the lines of chanting, if the circle was also drawn, it would be that much harder to brake the magic that was cast. Also, when it comes to the actual chanting, I may stick with something around the "Loveless" nature. Where you just use normal words for the spell. The stronger you phrase the words the more it is effective. For example if a Kurori was trying to light something on fire. A younger Kurori would probably say "Light this on fire." Now, of course that spell would work but would draw a lot more power, for minimal results. An older Kurori, who has more knowledge and experience, could cast the same type of spell and cause so much more damage, for the same amount of power by saying "Light upon this being a flame that can not be deteriorated until the flames devour every piece of its existence." You see the difference? Same spell, your doing the same thing, but the words have so much more power in the second sentence. Hence stronger spells such and such. Please let me know if any of this didn't make any sense or if I didn't answer your question right XDD [/classy][/classy] [classy=etc] (asked by cccxlii)[/classy] [/style] |

How often do Kurori fight, and is it just dueling or because of arguments? Is there laws where a Kurori must be killed if they do x thing? I'd love to know more! ◎ INTERESTING QUESTION ;; You know, I would of never thought of this question if you hadn't asked it XDD Hrm... when it comes to fight between Kurori, it would probably be more along the lines of a duel. Though, I wouldn't think of it to be unheard of, that if someone talked out of line against a superior for them to call a battle. If someone called out a higher up, the higher up could challenge them to a duel to teach them a lesson, or something along those lines. It really doesn't matter. Kurori laws has nothing against fighting each other, since normally a Kurori wouldn't wake up one day and say "Ah a great day to kill one of my own kind." Nah, it would probably be more along the lines of killing humans, etc. So, it could either be dueling or arguments, don't really matter. Now about killing a Kurori over some rule. Betrayal can be the only thing I can think of. Originally, I don't think there were any rules like that before Melophane sprang the coop. Now, it does depend though, on the current leader (you) on his judgement. In some case Kurori that run aren't killed but simply imprisoned. However, it is also common for a Kurori to kill another during one of those challenges I spoke of earlier. If the dishonoring is of great importance of the Kurori who was insulted, I wouldn't put it past them to let their punishment be death. Other than that, nope.. I can't think of anything else~ Hopefully that wasn't a complete waste of your time hun XD I wish I had seen this sooner as well. ^^[/classy][/classy] [classy=etc] (asked by cccxlii)[/classy] [/style] |
| [style=width: 350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px;][classy=revealiv][classy=namehere]kaito and kurori aging process[/classy][classy=desc]◎ Question: So... this crossed my mind as I was trying to write Night's history. What's the Kaito's aging process? I mean how does it work? Cause I read that part where you said that a Kaito born from the union of two Kaitos would be taken from their parents and would be raised with their Kurori. And then I read how the aging process of a Kurori works and I got confused. For example, if both Kaito and Kurori were 25, would the Kaito look that age while the Kurori looks 7 1/2, or would they both look 7 1/2? wow, I hope this doesn't sound as confusing as I think it does... anyway, thanks in advance! ◎ Both Kurori and Kaito are demons. Because of this, both tend to live for an extremely long time. The species list states that Kaito are half demons, so they would only live half as long. We already know that Kurori age 7 1/2 years in appearance for every 25 years. We can simply double that number to see how long a Kaito might live. A Kaito ages 15 years in appearance for every 25 years. Remember that this would only apply to a Kaito after they have changed form. Kaito do start out as normal humans, later cursed by a Kurori into becoming a Half Demon. So if a 25 year old Human gets turned into a Kurori. 25 years later he'd look like a 40 year old, when physically he's actually 50 years old. In the case of the offspring of a union between two Kaito... Well, things change. Believe it or not, information is actually lost when a child is born. So the child of two Kaito would actually be a Quarter Demon (1/4, 25%, however you prefer it). A quarter demon would of course live even a shorter life-span than that of a half demon. Now, we could just double our appearance for x years formula again. If we were to double it again, we'd come out to 30 years in appearance for every 25 years. Of course, that's a bit odd. We can just assume that they age just like humans, while still retaining the abilities of a Kaito. However, be sure to remember that a Quarter Demon will have a much harder time mastering their animal form than a Half Demon. And at the same time they're losing magic power, so stealing souls would be harder for them as well. But, they would also not be as loyal to their Kurori masters. This gives them a sort of advantage over a normal Kaito, who must do whatever their masters tell them. There is one other thing though. As you can imagine, a quarter demon with barely any powers (and less loyal) won't demand the same respect as a normal Kaito. I'm not even sure if the same laws would apply. Just, something to remember I guess, when you're making that character. Good Luck![/classy][/classy] [classy=etc] (asked by night)[/classy] [/style] |
