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.

Can we hash out some kind of compromise re: his powerset? Having someone around who can casually resurrect anyone at will could do weird things to an RP.

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?

That'll work.

Approved! Join st_augustus, introduce yourself, maybe do some plotting, then drop by for some dorm assignments.
