Oooh, so Lorica's a tinker. Does that mean she doesn't have the standard mental opacity?

If you look closely, her screenname isn't "tinkering". It's "thinkering". ^^

Oh man there's going to be a Madokaverse Bell? I can't wait to see! I didn't suggest it in the fandoms thread because I have No Idea how it would even work. And that it's Homura being replaced by a Bell and Madoka being replaced by a Joker, rather than the other way around is especially interesting because it's not at all what I would have expected. This should be interesting!

And an MLP Bell? :D Clarity Bell is a totally adorable name for a pony Bell. ...is Princess Cadence going to be a Chelsea?

Where do I find out about Bells that are slated to exist but do not yet? What exactly does "Unthreaded Bells/worlds" mean? Are the threaded ones the ones on the "Adventures in Effulgence" page? Are Unthreaded ones stories that will be Effulgent but aren't yet which are not on that page? I am confused and wish to be enlightened!

Princess Cadence is not a Chelsea. I am greening her and she is a template, though.

You can go to Roll Call to see a list of Bell accounts. There are planned Bells who don't have accounts yet for lack of screen names or icons.

So if she exists and is not a Chelsea... does she keep the creepy love-inducing powers? Does she somehow use them not-evilly? I guess she could only use them on consenting individuals but still... canon Cadence's powers are creeeepy and Chelsish to me. I am curious about how her template will manifest and eagerly await the MLP fic! What other templates will be appearing in it?

Thank you for the link! I shall now investigate it. What Bells are planned but not threaded or accounted yet? I don't want to redundantly suggest one in the fandom thread (like I almost did for the Circle of Magic Bell!) Or are they too tenuously planned to list yet?

I actually noticed that, but forgot that Thinker is also a class. What are the "numbers" for lack of a better word for her abilities going to be?

Cadence is... rrrroughly as sketchy as she is in canon but not evil-as-a-person. She exists in a context where using love magic is an accepted positive thing, she's good at it, and nobody swats her for it, but she'll be fairly receptive to a good talking-to; it's just that she wouldn't come up with the entire concept of "consent culture" or whatever by herself. You have already met Cadence's extant alt. (No name similarity.)

Lorica is a Thinker 12 on the books, but her power is completely passive so this is entirely a remark on strength, not applicability, versatility, etc. I don't have a settled Tinker rating for her yet, but it'll probably land somewhere between 5 and 10; she's good, she's gonna be able to build whatever the plot calls for her given the time and resources, but she is not Totally Ridiculous.

Bells that don't yet have accounts but are on our spreadsheet include a second Harry Potter Bell and one for kappa's "Practical Demonlogy" world. These are both low-priority. Our Vague Notions Sheet, which is lower-priority still (though priority can shuffle if we're inspired) includes: Damage Report, The Listener, Good Omens, the Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, Barashi, Vorkosigan, Carol Berg books, Pact, McKinley's Sunshine, Sharing Knife, Curse of Chalion, Wizard of the Grove, Enchantment Emporium, kappa's Morningstar verse, kappa's Thunderverse, and an original "sexually transmitted immortality" premise. These range from "one of us hasn't read them" (e.g. Sharing Knife) or "the canon isn't finished" (Pact) through "not sure how to plot it into Effulgence" (e.g. Damage Report) up to "this idea hasn't yet grabbed us by the throats" (Listener).

I would like to know more about Loki. Are you planning on going through the first movie plot? (To a point anyway) i can't really imagine a Bell doing what MCU Loki did, what be cool to see a vaguely evilish Bell.

Which of Kappa's templates is gonna be the "main" opposite character? Is it Thor, or someone else? I would love to see Kappa's version of Thor more, that'd be nifty. Though I guess it could be Tony, since they are a "native" to the whole Marvel universe. Or a Darcy!

It shall be Thor. XD

Brainhacking is definitely a thinker ability, so still no mental opacity because that would be trump?
