๖ۣۜ§osa (E.G.I.E.) 520 Share Posted March 10, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoGVrfvKnU Ego is a form of energy that is everywhere in Athera, and around everyone. Only those whom are enlightened, and at peace mentally can feel the very gentle stir of the essence around them. This energy emits from the elements, other forms of life, and even influence (such as plants, wildlife, fire, water, evil and good). Very few can sense this energy, and even fewer can channel it into their body and manipulate it. Those whom can manipulate positive Ego find themselves much more at peace with themselves in the future versus those who choose to manipulate negative, dark Ego, whom tend to allow it to overcome them, and drive them mad. Ego comes in various forms, and colors, although they're invisible until manipulated from their being. Each color/form of Ego has its own unique feel, such as green Ego, which is emitted from life, tends to feel more warm, inviting, and relaxing, while dark Ego, which is emitted from evil beings, tends to feel very unwelcoming, cold, and claustrophobic. Every form of Ego can be manipulated, and each type of Ego has its own benefits, and some, even disadvantages. Those who can feel the slight presence of Ego choose whether to allow it within them or not, although some Ego is stronger than others, and may enter the body uninvited. Each different type affects the body differently, and prolonged exposure to a certain type can differ drastically than others. Only so much of a certain Ego can be stored, and channeled within the body at once, waiting to be used. Ego can be used in many different ways. It can be used passively, and overtime such as giving the user a very peaceful, and long-lasting relaxed feeling. It can also be triggered, and be used in a certain situation (this is when you are able to see the Ego's color). Keep in mind, each Ego has its own use, and some types might not be able to have the same affects as others. A deep, forest green. This Ego comes from nature, life, and various wildlife. The most common of Ego, this form can be found nearly anywhere within the vast land of Athera. Those whom come in contact with Green Ego begin to feel a very slight peaceful feeling. The more quiet the area the person is in, the more this feeling seems to intensify. Also, the more this Ego is absorbed, the more the peace and tranquility becomes apparent, and real. When channeled, the user may lay their hands on another being (animal or person), in which, they too will start to become overwhelmed by the calming nature, and presence of the Ego. A bright, embery red that bellows violently with life. This ego comes from anger, fire, and the deep rocky depths of Athera. Red Ego contains the essence of power and strength, and those who come in contact with it slowly begin to feel an energetic presence. The more the user absorbs Red Ego, the more the energetic feeling starts to overcome them. When channeled, the user receives a very short burst of previously shackled strength and energy, allowing them to endure rough challenges longer. A vibrant, frosty blue color that quietly bustles with intellect and knowledge. This Ego comes from distilled nature, calm waters, and the quiet, soothing sound of a trickling brook. Those whom come within the slightest contact of Blue Ego begin to feel slightly relaxed, and at peace with their thoughts. The more this Ego is absorbed, the more the sounds of the outside world become nonexistent as you reluctantly begin to soar within your own thoughts. When channeled, the user briefly succumbs to their mind, and are able to think and imagine crystal clearly without distortion or any disturbance from the outside world. Perfect for mages wishing to cast a spell from the Void to the real world. A dark, menacing purple color that appears as if it would sap the life out of anything it comes in contact with. This Ego comes from Evil forces, abominations, negative other-worldly beings, and even death itself. The most dangerous Ego, for excessive prolonged exposure can corrupt ones psyche and leave them emotionless, distraught, lost, or even insane. Certain beings that have come in contact with, or that have been blessed by evil "gods" and/or "goddesses" can endure a much larger exposure to Dark Ego, allowing them to be able to absorb, and even channel large quantities. Normal people, and the regular races of Athera can absorb Dark Ego, but too much can lead to pain, paranoia, nausea, and hearing/seeing things. Too much Dark Ego absorbed into ones being can sap the person of their strength, either paralyzing them or ultimately killing them. A user of Ego can forcefully channel this energy into another one's being, which would heed the same exact side effects as stated before. Dark Ego can also be channeled into not only the races of Athera, but into Ather itself, corrupting lands, plants, and such (Although it takes massive, vast quantities of Dark Ego to fully corrupt a medium sized area). If an area becomes corrupted, that too will become a pool/vent of Dark Ego, and it will stretch further across the lands. A radiant, bright Ego that appears as if it would illuminate even the darkest of rooms entirely. This Ego comes from certain acts of humanism, good-will, and even certain Deities. When somebody who can feel the presence of Ego comes in contact with Light Ego, they instantly start to feel safe, and guarded and well-protected. Light Ego, oddly enough, is the hardest Ego to absorb. Your body can reject, and even be harmed by Light Ego if you are blessed by any dark Deity (although the harm is very little). Only short quantities of Light Ego can be absorbed at a time, and would probably take the entire short quantity to even correctly channel this Ego. Light Ego can be channeled on another living being (animal or person). Once the Light Ego begins to enter their body, any aches, or very slight pain will gingerly heal overtime. It will not heal the wound, only subside some of the pain. ~~~ Character Requirements: • An intellectual, mentally-at-peace character • Must find out IC'ly about Ego, whether through experience, other people, or reading Tiers: • There are no tiers to this "magic". Instead, overtime, as your character progressively becomes more knowledgeable and more experienced of using Ego, they become stronger in feeling the presence of Ego, and channeling it. Red Flags: • Character must find out about Ego IC'ly • Usually only very wise Characters will actually be able to feel the subtle presence of Ego. • No healing, only the relief of pain • This "magic" isn't made for power, but instead to delve into a more fun Roleplay experience with a very interact-able form of magic. • Will add more later OOC Notes: PLEASE! Suggestions and feedback are wanted and needed! Q/A: Is this completely distinct from magic, or do you plan to have an overlap of the two? On the same note, why would somebody use Ego over something like Void Magic? Many people are against the use of Void Magic, while Ego would be a natural alternative. No, I would probably have this entirely distinct from Void Magic. Although, the two would add for a great combination, and I'm still planning on adding more differences to Ego. Why is a personality trait and emotion classified as a magic? Didn't know what else to classify it as to be brutally honest. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
