AonEne he/him Posted July 20, 2019 Author Posted July 20, 2019 Quote If we do a war that happened in the past we absolutely must be respectful and accurate about all parties involved. We wouldn’t have to have characters with spren, remember, and even if we did, they could still move around. With interesting effects, but they could. Poll is up in case anyone hasn’t noticed yet.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Quote Not all of those options are possible. People see Invested things or people different from how they actually are, filling in anything that can’t be explained with something similar (think Mist from Percy Jackson) and they can be confused or suspicious- Nobody is confused or suspicious. If this were possible, people would have put things together by now. The first option, but only with beings and/or spren, not items we’ve Invested Same issue, but even more so. You think people won't notice corpses with their eyes burned out? People can see everything with no issues We've decided against this, and have RP'ed accordingly. I personally would like a blending of the two remaining ones, as well as perhaps a bit of the psuedo-Mist.
Lunamor she/her Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Quote Is the crystal affecting the Radiants or the Police?
AonEne he/him Posted July 20, 2019 Author Posted July 20, 2019 Quote I was trying to get a good selection across the spectrum of options. I don’t think anyone will choose the last one, but I wanted them to have the ability to do so if they genuinely thought it should be that way (please don’t do that one just to joke around though guys, we want your real opinion). We can always retcon, but people have been suspicious before. Not that noticing has to mean suspicion. Any serial killer can burn out someone’s eyes.

Lunar Blessing she/her Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Quote So, it might be a bit late but I had an idea for the non seeing thing, idk if you guys actually look at it but I thought it would be cool: As an non invested person is around it more then start to be able to see more and more. The general populace won't notice anything but people like Ashlyn will start to see things

Not to mention the fact that a dead Voidbringer will still look like a Voidbringer. And I don't think people have, or the Radiants would have been able to out the Voidbringers. 2 hours ago, AonEne said: I was trying to get a good selection across the spectrum of options.

xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Quote Yeah. So it's only specific people, like Ashlyn or Jason. And they would probably need to get a Shardblade or something, because Sha-thoexis would target them eventually. 2 minutes ago, Blessing of Potency said: Xino, can I use my immunity growth thing but just for Ashlyn?

It should get easier as she practices- but she'll have to watch out for Sha-thoexis, as resisting her will draw her attention.

AonEne he/him Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Quote Actually, Jason’s been a Lightweaver for a long time. He just ignored it for a good chunk of his life, thinking he was insane. Did l get that right, Lith? I would say the foundation for the RP was actually just Radiants on Earth, doing normal-people stuff in addition to fighting evil the fantasy way. That was the thread the inspiration came from and the original premise of TKND. The fact that most people ignore it is something that came in a while later when the Unmade was invented, and something that we just glossed over or didn’t canonize for a while. @ShadowLord_Lith 1
+Sorana she/her Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Quote So we'll go on here, once that "who sees what" is decided?
AonEne he/him Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Quote Yeah, it’s important to know what we’re doing with the police involvement. Make no mistake, you will be questioned at the station either way , but the details are unknown right now.

That was the thread the inspiration came from and the original premise of TKND. Quote It's not the foundation, but it was an integral part of the worldbuilding- that's why we had to decide on it so early. The world would be a much, much different place if people could see what the Radiants were doing. 12 hours ago, AonEne said: The fact that most people ignore it is something that came in a while later when the Unmade was invented, and something that we just glossed over or didn’t canonize for a while.

AonEne he/him Posted July 21, 2019 Author Posted July 21, 2019 Quote I didn’t mean she was a cause, just that they happened at about the same time. ...would he need to be? Yes, she attacks new Radiants, but does she get every single one?
