Celestines (Holy visions of the future)

Warriors (pratice with their weapons)

Nihilists (learn the secrets of the dead)

Unknown2004-12-23 03:20:18
or Trophies, I like the idea though. it would be great for rp that each archtype has a special ability

Demonology.  As it is, the demons we Nihilists recieve are granted to us by the Demon Lords. They're tools, little more.  One would think that working so closely with them (indeed, partially becoming demons ourselves), we would learn a bit about creating them ourselves.  I don't know about you, but I like the idea of crafting evil beings from the heartblood of elfen children in dark rites..... but then again, this from the guy who used zmapper to actually construct a Necropolis....

Actually, that idea is good but we may not be able to get it because we don't know how much it would be able to code. Since the Nihilists revole around sacfricing and eating their enemies, that does sound like the special thing they would get. Any ideas for celestines?

Nihilists revolve around eating their enemies? Since when? There is a skill in Necromancy that lets you eat corpses for food, so that must be what you're talking about.

That trophies idea sounds pretty cool to me! Masonry might be a bit too useful though, seeing as these are meant to mostly be diversions with some small possible bonus when you're very good, (or at least that's how I've been seeing them).

I reckon something with the angels/demons for Guardians would be pretty cool, but I can't for the life of me think what...

And Shiro, you know that it's possible to edit your posts so you can add whatever it is you've thought of straight after posting it? Double/triple posts are really not neccessary...

Trying to get to transcendent.. Shoo!

Druidry
Animorph

The ability to actually morph and look like different animals. An ability that changes your discription. Can be used sort of like a camoflage. Instead of people seeing you enter the room they see a little bunny or whatever animal you morph into.

for Celestines/Nihilists/Wiccan i can see either something for thier Ents... Special incarnations of the various spirits they summon being sent to a globes they have. (inspired by the simpsons episode of putting Xena in lucite to keep her in mint condition)

Or if they do something close to their plane of power.
Nihilists - constructing dead thingies from body parts of killed thingies

Celestines - constructing a glowing orb or star like thingy made out of the peronality/qualities of the things they kill or influence. Greed, compassion whatever...

Wiccan - Making a Gathering room of some sort for Fae to have parties in.

My undead grafting thing works perfectly! Although, perhaps Nihilists can make undead demons? mellow.gif

Celestines could get Divine Visions from Celestial Angels or Tainted Visions from Demonic Overlords and those who get Tainted Visions will have to be purified from another Celestine?

Unknown2004-12-23 04:15:06
Wouldn't that apply for both sides?
Jasper2004-12-23 04:20:11
I would guess so. Having one of the Supernals trying to redeem one of the Nihilist. Although, I like seeing the supposed pure and good guys getting corrupted...but that is just me.
Unknown2004-12-23 04:25:17
It would be cool to see the celestines have these holy visions and a side effect
would be seeing dark visions produced by the Demon lords of Nil. Roark or any elder one, is it possible what we been talking about to be coded for each archtype to have a special ability?
Shoshana2004-12-23 04:28:55
That sounds more like something that would happen during an event, as opposed to a skill though... What would the visions do?
Unknown2004-12-23 04:31:12
Hmm... Maybe give high level celestines the ability to see in the future. the comming of the darkness..who knows. any other suggestions for celestines?
Daganev2004-12-23 04:34:42
I really like my idea of consturcting an spirit thingy out of personalities of things you have killed... AND YOU SHOULD TOO! Dag Nabit!

to explain it better.
When you influence people, and analyze them they have stats.
So and So is incredibly generous. So and So is incredibly Greedy. (that applies mostly to the begging command)

So just as you can tear off the limb of your elven guard to make a zombie, you can "tear off" the generosity of Mother Mucka and place that into your personalize guardian spirit that hovers over your shoulder and looks pretty at dances and such for you.

Daganev transfers the generous spirit of Mother Mucka into an orb, causing it to glow a little.

Daganev is here, he wields two shields and is followed by Gravy, the spiritual companion of Daganev.
Unknown2004-12-23 04:36:22
that would be soul keeping
Daganev2004-12-23 04:38:23
does soul keeping allready exist as skill or are you just naming it?
Unknown2004-12-23 04:39:23
Naming it.
Unknown2004-12-23 04:41:36
I do like the idea of the celestines having the ability to create spirits of the dead and be able to use them defensely
Daganev2004-12-23 04:46:35
the point of these skills is to be RP only, as far as I've been able to discern. So These having any combat usefullness would not be good.

Items to help with room descriptions or charachter building.
