Applications

[wandering_eye]

Apps for SAA shouldn't be any sort of ordeal. Just hammer something out in 5 minutes, I trust you folks to be able to play coherently.

<b>OOC INFORMATION</b> <b>Name:</b> <b>Plurk:</b> <b>Other characters played:</b> <b>IC INFORMATION</b> <b>Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Overview:</b> (Sum up the character in 100 words or less. Personality, background, whatever. Why are they.) <b>Enrollment Status:</b> (Faculty or student? What grade? Already a student or new transfer?) <b>Species:</b> (Mundane human? Awakened human? Human who's going to later awaken? Something weirder?) <b>AU Overview:</b> (AU backstory, how their powers work in this setting. You can be as wordy or as brief as you want.)

UPDATE: Due to severe student shortage, I am freezing faculty applications until further notice.

Absolutely! Here's what we had for it in the game I pulled him from:

- He needs the resurrectee's original body, including the head. He can't regrow extremities so no head = no rez.
- There's a link between body and soul, like a chain. He has to follow that down into the Dark to pull them through from the other side.
- The longer a person's been dead, the weaker that link is and the harder it is to follow.
- And sometimes the link just isn't there at all, making them impossible for him to resurrect.

In that game, the explanation for how it worked was that he could only access souls which had ended up in the Dark. There were other, unknown afterlives that he couldn't access, so if the soul had ended up in one of those afterlives, he wouldn't be able to find any link to follow.

In this game, I was thinking there are probably infinite afterlives, since it's sort of an "all legends are true" setting, but Duncan can still only resurrect people through the Dark. If a soul is in an afterlife that's cosmically adjacent to the Dark, he can pull them across the dimensional barrier into the Dark and then back into their body. But if they're in one that isn't, he can't even find the link at all. So basically anyone can arbitrarily decide that a character is impossible for Duncan to resurrect and the IC reason is that their soul is out of his reach, no further justification necessary.

Does that work?

here's one anti social bum

[wandering_eye]

Question, just for reference - do her Eyes of Death Perception function at all differently in the real world and in Contract Duels?

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

I think it'd be fun if they were activated in the real world as she struggles to maintain them because seeing this and not being able to describe it to those who want to help her would be a good reason her family would ship her off. They just wouldn't let their prized heir go away without a caretaker unless they thought it could legitimately help.

In the fourth movie, her eyes are bandaged so that may be a route we can go with here until she's learned to control them via Contract Duels. I was thinking since there's no one like Touko here that most of the academic faculty wouldn't know what she's going through and therefore can't coach her on what they are.

No one will actually die as a result of them. She can break objects, kill plants and maybe small creatures at most. In Contract Duels, she can severely wound people (not permanently), but no death until it's applicable for plot. Which could be never since Shiki finds the thrill in fighting, not killing.
