Demigod Flavour, Teleports?

Back to Ideas.

Simple enough idea.

1. Demigods would have an optional skill they could use in Lieu of Teleport or Tesseract when those skills are available to them. Something like DEMISHIFT
2. Would have a low essence cost, maybe 50 per use.
3. Would have a specific message for each Demigod, specifiable in a manner similar as to Shouts and Zaps.

EX. Geb has a Dragon theme, right?

Start:
You see: Flares of draconic flame erupt from Geb's back as a hole is ripped in the Planes.
Geb sees: As you search for , wings of flame erupt from your back, preparing you for a journey through Aetherspace.
and others in same room see: The roars of dragons boom out as a hole to Aetherspace is ripped, the winged form of Geb visible within.

End
You see: Geb dives into the hole in space, spreading his wings as the hole closes behind him.
Geb sees: You hurl yourself into the currents of Aetherspace, soaring upon them till you land yourself next to
and others in same room see: Motes of flame dissapear on Geb's back as he erupts from the hole in space, closing it behind him as the last of the fires dissapear from him.

NOTE: This is just my god awful writing skills. It would proabably be handled differently as per the content of the Teleport/Tesseracts. Just an idea.

It would be nice to have a shop for demigods/ascendants to "buy" extra flavor/RP frills.

Aura of Teleportation: customize your teleporting message, kind of like Kialkarkea suggested.

Aura of Motion: customize your entry/exit message (I can dream).

Aura of Ascending: customize your ascending to the havens message.

Aura of Ambience: gives off customizable ambience every few minutes. You can have up to three.

Aura of Dominance: customizable world-entrance message. Synl's idea. tongue.gif

Clasps: you can only own one. They act as a permanent karma blessing for that seal.

Crystals: change the damage-type of your zap. Synl's idea again.

Eateries: random foods for demigod/ascendant "flavor."

Servants: Invincible, they do nothing but follow you around and respond to whenever your name is mentioned. Imagine this...

The soul of Shuyin says, "Exeryte is a tank."
An adoring servant's eyes lit up.
An adoring servant says, "Exeryte! Exeryte! The very name is music to my ears!"
A brown-nosing toady says, "Exeryte is the greatest illithoid of them all! And he isn't too hard on the eyes!"
A fawning lackey swoons.
A fawning lackey says, "Oh, Exeryte! What a man!"
A humble slave says, "My master is a kind one. He is a great man!"

...for only 40 million essence!

EDIT: Added Aura of Dominance and crystals.

Exeryte's idea gets my seal of approval.
Unknown2008-07-30 18:28:04
what about the power cost of teleporting normally?

Goes away with certain artifacts... and in this case, it would be substituting essence for power instead of being free.
Nyir2008-07-30 18:53:22
I like this, especially Exeryte's version. More customizing = good. It's one of the reasons I enjoy Lusternia's version of Level 100 more than Achaea's. dribble.gif
Bael2008-07-30 19:01:03
Only if Ex buys me a BLT.

And maybe a carrot cake.

Xenthos2008-07-30 19:03:06
Ooo, ooo. If a non-Demigod/Ascendant eats one of these food items, they should explode.

I really like this idea.

I think all of Ex's ideas are feasible, except maybe some of the shop things and the ambience. Now I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon fantasizing about getting demigod and sinking into a pool of shadows whenever I teleport. dribble.gif

/agree

It would give demigods something to do with all that essence.
Unknown2008-07-30 19:24:33
I approve.

I am against this. Only cause it won't effect me wink.gif

What about the lackies, what do they do? Passive influence bonus, or some such?
Arin2008-07-30 23:21:38
Wait wait... Morgfyre can't be selling food because he'd eat it all...

Everything is cool, just not sure about the servants because that seems to be encroaching on the territories of pets and manse dwellers.
Esano2008-07-30 23:39:41
I support this idea.

Only issue with the teleport is that the target needs to know it's a teleport without any "Hm, this is new -- OMG I'M DYING!". Possibly add this as a subtext onto the original message, or have a new standard message that precedes all of them?
Unknown2008-07-30 23:42:49
If you have aethersight, it tells you if it's a teleport at least.
