Sure, that sounds fine.

And yeah, he'll be nice, or at least civil and respectful. He considers himself very "holy". (If the burning apparition of Christ with a sword extending from his mouth appeared before you and bestowed a holy scepter that can command the hearts of men on you, you'd probably consider yourself such, too. :P)

[Espy]

Hey, uh...what'd be his deal with people like Dante? I'm sure Fee and Dara will be fine.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I think Dante should be okay, he doesn't have any obvious spiritual stain on him, does he?

I shudder to imagine the chain of events that'll ensue if Na'lsa and Shealtiel get in range of whatever hi-tech bad-mojo sensors he doubtlessly has all over his city. :|

Oh, and, uh, we should park the APC far away, since Asasiah is still unconscious in it. Bad idea getting her anywhere near this guy.

[Espy]

Ok, whew. I'm too tired to think of a way to sneak Dante into the city.

[Arikana]

Okay, I'll get to work on that.


So what will the "evil" characters be doing in Thyatria? :o

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I... am honestly not sure. O__O

Salone, any suggestions?

[Arikana]

Does anyone in the boat have any mastered illusionary skills to hide your "evil" auras? That could work if someone had those skills. P:

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Considering that we just consumed Cain's spirit (and flesh)... it's likely we partially bear the Mark of Cain. Good luck hiding that. :P

[Arikana]

Yeah, okay, that'll take like dozen or more (probably more) master illusionists. Never mind. >w>

Suze, I meant to ask you if this was plausible, having Dante being able to control aura to some extent, gradually.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Sure, I suppose it'll work. Do you have any more details on where you'd like to take it?

[Espy]

Hm...Since aura is a bit like energy, maybe using his own as bullets or projectiles or some sort? And the related TK could be used as both offense and defense (Oh hey, there's something sharp behind you; let me just accelerate that forward through your skull). Like I said, I'd have to start relatively small and later let him be able to lift/topple more massive objects with TK.

I might also try to work a bit of first-aid into the aura thing...Aura-weaving as a way to staunch blood flow? The only healing method Dante has right now is bandages.

...I wonder if a body would reject someone else's aura.

Considering letting him draw on the aura/energy of other beings, but I'm not sure if I want him to have that kind of ability just yet.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Okay, how about we define "aura" as the general modified energy spectrum that exists in this world, so he'd basically be manipulating existing forces in the local area with small "pushes" to get them to do what he wants -- life energy, psychic energy, theuric, unholy, etc, as well as more conventional energy types, if you want. How does that sound for now?

[Espy]

Oh. That sounds about right, and is much more...concise. (Sorry, my brain is currently a mess of coding mush. I hate this class that I'm taking...)

I'm gonna get sick if I accidentally ingest the old man's aura.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, I just figure it'll play into his general theifyness if he has to manipulate auras that around him, i.e. stealing their energy.

[Salone]

Oh man, you guys have been active while I was at work.

As far as us *ahem* 'evil' characters go for interaction, I'm not sure. I'm not even sure if Na'lsa even has an aura while Lev is in charge. Although with as many times as he showboats, there's bound to be a trace. He would be willing to risk walking in, but that's a plot train I hate to derail. Cry mercy and say even the demons want to restore Heaven to its former glory. As for Shealtiel...I do not know. As I am incredibly sketch as to how everyone else's powers work and do not work, I'm not sure. I would say after such an incredible display of power from earlier he might have experienced a burnout or complete disconnect from them for a while, but...that's the only convenient thing I can come up with.
