THE NAZTHERAK TEA DRINKING AMENDMENT

[Navigator 4260]

 

Anything new is boldened, anything removed is underlined, anything changed is italicized. Credit to Mordu for the original lore.

Original:

Creation
The historically understood origin of these cursed descendants, wrought by a mark inflicted onto the parent-to-be of a devil by a false prince or greater inferis (ST event characters). The skin colour of those borne of said curse will always reflect the malflame colour of the naztherak or inferis that administered it. 

-In the magical creation of a devil, the naztherak or event character responsible must be listed as ‘teacher’ in the devil’s FA, ratified by a comment from the naztherak linking their MA or an ST ratifying their consent respectively.
-This can only be achieved in accordance with any prerequisites specified in naztherak lore or other hypothetical pieces that add this ability. In the event that naztherak (or other) is shelved as a player magic, or rewritten without the ability to create devils specified, magical creation of new devils becomes impossible.
- Upon disconnection from Naztherak, no Cursed-Children apps can be made in regards to offspring born from the character, or bane stated as the result of said character.

 

Proposed amendment:

Creation
The historically understood origin of these cursed descendants, wrought by a mark inflicted onto the parent-to-be of a devil by a false prince or greater inferis (ST event characters). The skin colour of those borne of said curse will always reflect the malflame colour of the naztherak or inferis that administered it. 

-In the magical creation of a devil, the naztherak or event character responsible must be listed as ‘teacher’ in the devil’s FA, ratified by a comment from the naztherak linking their MA or an ST ratifying their consent respectively.
-This can only be achieved in accordance with any prerequisites specified in naztherak lore or other hypothetical pieces that add this ability. In the event that naztherak (or other) is shelved as a player magic, or rewritten without the ability to create devils specified, magical creation of new devils becomes impossible.
- Upon disconnection from Naztherak, no Cursed-Children apps can be made in regards to offspring born from the character, or bane stated as the result of said character.

- A connected Naztherak will only conceive a Cursed Child once in their life. This is to prevent the Feat being abused and widespread. This is tracked via the Naztherak's active MA.

- A connected Naztherak will only conceive a Cursed Child when they have reached Tier 3. At Tier 3, the Naztherak's soul is corrupted enough that the blight passes on to their children, and additionally, it is when the Naztherak receives the ingrained knowledge to perform the ritual that allows the creation of Cursed Children.

Purpose:

Spoiler

It is no secret to anyone that Naztherak has a massive issue with purposefully pumping out CCs without any care. The old joke of ‘tea-drinking Naztherak’ is born from people roleplaying CCs and Naztherak alike without any care to their origins or lore. This amendment serves as, quite literally, a complete and decisive halt on the creation/conception of CCs until a Naztherak has acquired the ingrained knowledge of how to make them present in the current approved write of Naztherak, which is a T3 ritual. Furthermore, making it every 3rd child conceived still allows players the freedom of having children of their own be cursed, without spamming 1 glorbillion CCs.

Yes

Every third child is a bit overcomplicated as how are us ST exactly going to track that? 

How does this work with twins or triplets?

I'm debating removing that entirely and just locking it behind T3 as a 'yeah ur soul is tainted enough now, ur children will come out scuffed'.

I don't think its necessarily meant to be tracked, just that they're meant to be relatively rare

@Navigator added more in an edit 

[Navigator 4260]

Edited to include the case of twins, triplets, etc.

Cleared up the wording on it being specifically barred behind T3, and not specifically the ritual that is gained at T3.

Unfortunately some produced CC apps so much that it would require us to track it 😔

Ironically, I made this amendment exactly to counter that 🥀

[NightcastorKitty 2779]

@Navigator I'm just to be real here. It doesn't exactly help this matter and only makes ST monitor the Naz with 'hey, how many kids did you make to get this CC? Proof of family tree plz? I severely rather not. Because it WILL come to that with how some people are making so much CCs

@Navigator

In keeping with the theme of your amendment, I think you should instead consider one cursed child per naztherak. As it stands 'once every third child,' as @NightcastorKittysaid, would overcomplicate things for the ST backend and actively encourage naztherak to have MORE children rather than less.

You're lowkey right, I hadn't thought of it this way. I appreciate both of y'all @christman@NightcastorKitty

forums getting hit with another 70+ reply naz amendment

if you wanted to be really radical (and simpler tbf) you could just make naztherak unable to conceive CC at all, but christman's suggestion of 1 per naz is fine too. the ideal outcome of this would be that cursed children become less of a self-isolating element of the lore and it would encourage use of the bane as it was originally intended, to be a woeful and malevolent CURSE upon unwilling participants and not a cute family RP cosmetic

[drywall 198]

Having a cursed soul that's tied to the hells should give you more physical ailments than just the malices. Like, infertility, as an example. Or a decreased chance of having kids. One Naz'therak having nearly 18-20 accepted cursed children within the span of 6 months is absolutely insane.

[Tav 4336]

I always kinda hated the fact that Naztherak are forced to have CC, yeah it makes sense it's just lame is all. If you wanted to have CC you'd give yourself the bane for it, end of story. All the Naztherak amendments make me wanna return to the magic though lowkey.
