[✗] Another Zar'ei [Amendment]

[MsLinni 828]

Under
PHYSICALITY

Either of these options should one be to extreme:

Old:

— Furthermore embers and maleus alike constantly leak from their bodies.
 

New:

— Furthermore embers and maleus constantly leak from their bodies whenever they are unable to focus on actively suppressing it.

— This is deeply uncomfortable for the Zar'ei, and they are unable to cast any magic or perform any combative action while doing this.

 

Or remove entirely:

— Furthermore embers and maleus alike constantly leak from their bodies

PURPOSE
The goal of this is to allow demon roleplayers to have more complex and interesting interactions with the non-Naztherak community. Their bodies are still inherently demonic, but outside of combat or using any spell,s they should be able to deceive or at least go mining without being ganked. This is my opinion, and I would like to see what everyone thinks :P

[Unwillingly 18103]

the best way to encourage interaction is through granting inferi the meaningful narrative tools to do so while cutting down on the risk of interacting with non-naztherak

 

truthfully the maleus ember aura thing can just be removed outright because I didnt know this was a thing and I never see any inferi RP it so I think most ppl just forget it exists

The idea behind it that inferi cannot disguise. The need to emote specifically the embers is secondary to the purpose of why - and if it's already obvious youre an inferi then its a minor detail.

 

The only time I worry about emoting it is if someone asks if im an inferi ooc. To which I quickly reply "yes he has hellfire leaking from him and cannot suppress that he is a demon"

 

I dont mind it and would rather see inferi have a rough disguise tool. Potentially lose some of their souls to disguise for a day- taking on the mortal appearances vague to the souls they've gathered or something

When pallo and I worked on this originally this mechanic was to prevent people from disguising their demon from hell as John dude normal human person. I myself am happy that a vast majority of demons are not only obviously infernal but not really attempting to downplay it OOCly in RP. 
 

still, zarei needs more to do without taking souls and casting malflame imo to justify mechanisms that would subvert their appearance and hide themselves

Most CA now have a disguise mechanic. Considering the new rewrite, where even Zarakaal, who normally didn't have disguises, now acquire the,  unfortunately, Zar'ei won't be able to go beyond being a Crp CA unless they have a disguise mechanic. Considering that demons have a mentality focused especially on "deceiving" humans, it would be nice to have demons sowing discord among mortals, a demon deserves far more disguise than an undeath tbh. Wanting the demon to be unable to impersonate "John Human" makes sense from the story admins' perspective, but hey, all creatures except demons already have the ability to create the illusion of John Human.

Every Zar'Akal that remained active pre-write had a MArt that included a disguise mechanic, pretty clearly. Doesn't really make sense.

 

Then again, pre-rewrite zarkala were worse CRP machines; this was pre-malflame nerfs, too. I wouldn't want to fight vriza orc strength 120 maelus 1 day respawn either man 😭

Hot kunuk take

 

Most evil CAs should not have a disguise mechanic. At least the high tier end game ones.

 

Edit: ya that also goes for undead pal. But no one believes me so we are forever stuck in evil SoL larp

Insert flesh facade lore here

[Pallodium 3775]

This lore has been denied.

 

This went to an internal vote and did not pass.
