I'm still confused about minders. So lemme summarize if i understand this correctly... - 'Magic' by nature is dangerous, and as a result, so too are magical...
... Am confused on this then, that would make airships dangerous. If the machines have no way of controlling the input of ether coming into them and simply tap...
... Yup... ... Mages channel power from another world, yes; the best analogy i've seen thus far is to imagine that the other world is like a pipe full of...
... Well, the ships are built partially out of a mineral that, in its natural crystaline form, creates a pattern that creates a small tap in the magic world...
... Actually, we've explicitely stated that properly designed machines CAN control the intensity of magic that they draw on. They're designed like magical...
... Note: the idea that 'spirits' don't use magic the same way as humans do was in response to dan's concern that spirits using magic might end up pulling in...
... ok, well, its no problem really, i can have her as a human. If so, will go with the sisterly non-classical minder(15-16), basically, she's a young...
... Um... i'm not sure if it's clear yet, but possession is considered a _bad_ thing by the people of 'civilized' countries. If it _ever_ came out that she was...
I have to ask a few questions before I further work out plot here: Dan, has your character run afoul of the authorities? Would your possession be easily...

... Death would be a blessing for a slave, i dunno, the concept is interesting to me, though might not be good for a 'fast' game. How the characters deal with...
... There would be no real political blemish for siring a mage, if it can happen to anyone; it's simply a fact of life in her country that if it is discovered...
... I was thinking that her tribe might have been taken as slaves or killed outright, the remaining would be in hiding and scattered. How she got captured in...
... Well, the thing is, they don't have to _kill_ her at all. If they put her into a deep sleep long enough, the spirit will suffocate because there would be...
... So the spirit only needs an active mind to remain alive? What about if the spirit can make contact in dreams? Keeping the mind in a rem type/comatose...
... I'm thinking she'll be from the same nation as Eimii's character. If we've already got one strict state to run away from, I see no need for another....
... Heh. Seems like all I'm doing lately is bitching, but here comes more! 8P 1)Young, naive minder should be a contradiction in terms, ESPECIALLY for a major...
Pardon my silence, but I've had a lot of running around to do with the film festival. I'll just chime in... here: My Captain character would consider himself...
Hrm,... I was wondering where we would be starting in the story. I thought that the harrowing introduction of Eimii's and Dan's charatcer woulkd be part of...

... I think my character would have been on board the ship for maybe a year or a little more by now; probably longer than the techno-mage. ... Romance?...
... Though from the same country, our characters didn't arrive on the ship at the same time or under the same circumstances, methinks... ... Speaking of names,...
I'll try my best. *^^* its a really good idea.. My chars not going to be the smartest guy.. Hes a hard worker when hes put to a task though, so it sort of ...
Russian. I like it! Though I think I'll try to shy away from the frost. And that certainly fits with a metal age... ok... wrappping head around the metal...

... Well, not _all_ airships have to be hulking, armor-plated affairs, though military ships would likely be so. In the game 'Skies of Arcadia' that Dan ...
I've thought of a name for my minder/gunslinger Claes Casiel (Kleis Ka-siel) I was hoping she'd be dual weilding a six shot, but if I remeber Eimi's post,t hat...
Oops, didn't finish my reply -_-; ... Still, as someone who's already on the 'wanted' list, a privateer captain could always just turn down a job he found...
