(upcycle) PERMISSIONS/OPT-IN

Hello! Here's a brief run-down of powers for information purposes, plus a general opt-in and permissions post for him!


Content Warnings: For one thing, his content contains Shadowbringers spoilers. He's highly unlikely to get into anything too deep without prior CR, but with the smallest possible amount of spoilers, his backstory includes: the apocalypse, large scale sacrifice of individuals, possession factors in to a slight degree, and large scale destruction on the level of destroying worlds & causing catastrophes. Also Let me know in the permissions form if you'd rather avoid ever having any of this come up OR if you're okay with having CR but do not want Shadowbringers plot spoilers! I'll avoid giving any to you in threads.

General Powers:
  • Ascian Nature: As an Unsundered Ascian, he is 1. old as hell (13,000 is the minimum age, likely more like 14k and up), and 2. technically possesses the capability to body-hop and use other bodies as vessels, though given the nature of death here that is highly unlikely to become a thing. He can shape the appearance of his vessel, but prefers it in its current image.
  • Magic/Soul Sight: Perceptive of magic, and can look directly at a person's soul. He can identify people by the individual color of their soul, so long as he's seen it to know what color it is in the first place. The color itself doesn't mean anything on its own! Everyone just has their own individual hue.
  • Creation Magic: Ascians have the innate ability to create things out of pure magic, rather than summoning them from elsewhere. Limited in-game to the extent of something like creating a small house, and only for a short duration (with the possibility it'll completely fail).
  • Shadow Sorcery: Emet-Selch's magic is largely aspected toward darkness, and he's a strong magic-user. Capabilities include magical standards like forming barriers, forming projectiles, forming illusions (such as a projection of himself), and shadow teleportation of himself and other people or objects & the ability to travel to the rift (inactive here!)
  • Normally he has a boss form, which is inactive here also!
General Impression Permissions:

If your character has the capability to notice any of these things, you have open permission on my end to notice that:
  • He's possessing his body (this soul did not originally belong here/his body might read as just being a vessel)
  • He is pretty heavily shadow aspected (slaps Emet-Selch, you can fit so much darkness in this bad boy)
  • He is definitely not human! If they can sense he's also ancient/has powers, they're free to notice.
  • If you want to work out how any of this might register with your character's abilities specifically, feel free to comment below!

Opt-In & Permissions Form:

Please use this and comment to the post to let me know what you are and are not down for! If we've spoken OOC please drop a comment here also so that I have a record of it, and if you would prefer to opt out entirely, comments will be screened for your privacy! No hard feelings if you just don't want to deal with his character type, he might not mesh with everyone.

Player: your name
Character name(s): if you're doing this for multiple just let me know!
Opting in or out?: either one!
If opting in, what are you okay with?: let me know whatever you are and are not here for! If opting in for his soul sight, please give me a soul color for your character & anything else you'd like to note about it (if it's particularly weak or strong, things like that).
