Darth Woodrack Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Doomhorn nodded, "Now, to go on the subject of The Precursors, how about we have another leader join them? Replace one, maybe the Disco Lizard, he seems out of place, with say, a Keeper. Government oversight, plus a chosen leader. Also, if one leader is deemed incapable of doing is job, he can be replaced and removed," 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brought Keleth up short. He hadn't seen that. Well, he would work on drafting hemalurgy consent forms, as the DA would probably take serious liberties without them. Keleth raised his voice on the matter of the Precursors. "The thought is good, however, they need to be untouchable. If corruption exists, we shall never rise to a higher state. Perhaps men with hemalurgically altered emotions that make them impossible to be bribed, tricked, or corrupted in any way." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Woodrack Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Quote On an out of character perspective, I don't think that is a good idea. Not only does someone being hemalurgic put a certain amount of distrust with 5/11ths of the population, making the police force incorruptible, closes some interesting plotlines. Also, if all characters who join must use hemalurgy, than membership will drop severely. And, having characters with no emotions lead a police force makes rping difficult, and not interesting to the one doing it. In my opinion. "Maybe, but hemalurgy opens them up to soother and rioter control. That is a problem," Doomhorn said.

Gancho Libre Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Quote I agree with Darth. Why do all of you like hemalurgy? We can't make overpowered characters anyway, so we can't mix investitures. Thus, it is perfectly fine to make a character with a natural ability. Besides, hemalurgy is weaker than normal investiture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatebreaker Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Quote The Dark Alley, you know, the inspiration and original Guild that lead to the creation of the Alleyverse, was founded by predominantly Hemalurgic Specialists. Essentially, Hemalurgy is the primary reason that this subforum exists in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Neither, the DA is a group of scientists and their experiments who don't particularly feel like being beholden to any government. Even Voidus doesn't technically lead the DA, he's just the first lurker and the one who created it. In D&D terms the DA is Chaotic Neutral taken to the extreme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemalurgy won, as many illegitimate people decided to cast ballets. How those ballets got to those ballets is not my concern, it would be the Precursors, if they get confirmed. My proposal is that we keep the current leadership of Thel and Fang, and the replace the disco lizard with a keeper, or some other guild member. We get someone monitoring what goes on, and the Precursors get their jobs," 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
