Aestrix Ramblings and Q & A

[Aestrix]

:D

I AM GLAD YOU ASKED.

Right, so the big question is whether or not Lynn would get kamai. It's genuinely kind of hard to decide. After quite a lot of waffling, I think I'll go with making her a spontaneous kyma, tentatively. One that, after she trained away the spontaneous outbursts of magic, went and got an apprenticeship for something completely not magic related at all. Book-related, probably. I'd have to talk to Alicorn about specifics. She gets herself knocked up partway through her apprenticeship, drops it for wedded bliss with the guy responsible. She has her daughter, her daughter is cute, and then because I am terrible her daughter dies in some way that is her husband's fault. Either hubby is dead, or she leaves him. This is not one of the settings where she kills him herself, alas.

She can't pick her apprenticeship back up, it's been years. She - doesn't really have anything to do. So, for lack of a better idea - she picks up something involving historical research into the kyma purge thousands of years ago, and she becomes a magic librarian nerd. And also learns some really, really scary things she can do to kill people, because researching into that time period sort of does that.

And if she ever encounters Mallyn she will definitely get him and his siblings out of their home. I mean, obviously.

Is it usually the husband’s fault that Lynns’ first kids die? Somehow I missed that.

Also, you now have a new character. Is she enough of one that I can request her and Rhysel in the other thread?

[Aestrix]

It is usually the husband's fault that Lynn's first kids die. In Kystle-canon, he kills her himself due to tainting and crazy.

I have a character concept, not a character. I don't know enough about her to give her a context-less conversation, sorry.

[Kappa]

Character concept?

[Aestrix]

The Lynn I ported to Barashi. I can get a vague glimpse of her history and life, but without actually writing her and hashing out the gritty details of her history, I don't have enough for her to talk to people.

[Bluelantern]

It is dangerous to ask what Rae would lose if he ever interacted with Fairyland?

[DanielH]

Would Rae be subject to the usual Fairyland rules? Would other gods?

[Aestrix]

It's not dangerous, it's just sort of. Like it would break a part of him that could never be fixed? At least if there were a version of him that appeared in Fairyland, a god version of him coming across it isn't quite so nasty, but still sort of psychologically upsetting. And before you ask, Secret's existence does not solve matters, and neither does him being immune to vassalization in some way. The very makeup of the world is against everything he is, and while he would handle it masterfully, it would still break something inside him, and he would never truly be happy as a result. I can't do that.

Rae would indeed be subject to Fairyland rules, as would other Arabek gods.

It is the "break" part that I am unsure, it is simple like... he would lose his high opinion on mortals? be depressed that such thing ever existed in the first place? and turned out the way it did?

[Aestrix]

Depressed that such a thing even existed, hate a world that worked in such a way, revile a system that others seem to enjoy and actively use.
