Spoiler: Gloomy Wizard (click to show/hide)

Name: Gloomy Wizard
Affinity: Curses
Description: Gloomy Wizard's curse made him incredibly fragile, but it also gave him a prime opportunity to study curses first-hand! He's quite the curse expert, now.

...He still can't figure out how to remove his curse, though.
Potency: 6
Dexterity: 1
Agility: 1
Strength: 0
Endurance: 0

Wanna join F.E.C.E.S.?

Alerim leaped backwards, his job done, Marcus now headless.

((As a matter of fact, you were in fact decapitated the first time.))
((So. Care to found E.V.I.L for a league of your future character, Blake, and Old King Coal? (Evil Villains in League)))

I think I will. How about the Forces of Evil and Chaos Elite Squad (F.E.C.E.S., for short)?

((You know why not, no one will take use seriously until we are marching down their door.))

((And perhaps we should take our Evil out of character planning to the PMs.))
((Or use crypto.))

((Also:))

New Character:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Terram Ustam Reliquerunt (Tur)
Affinity: Air
Description(optional): Tur is a member of the Corps of Annihilation, an organization that destroys and/or neutralizes worlds which the Manipulator has deemed too difficult to conquer for their worth. Tur is prepared to give his "life" for the Manipulator, due to magical enslavement. If he breaks free, he will seek revenge against his former master.
STR=0
DEX=1
SPD=0
END=1
POT=6

I will win, or destroy this game trying.

((I suggest changing that affinity to Gases affinity, being more versatile and able to do pretty much all the same things Air can do with a -1.))

However, Air is easier to get decent (i.e. not Gaseous Form) flight with, as it covers a general concept (an element), and thus can get more abstract things (like a boost to Speed, for example).

Wanna join F.E.C.E.S.?

No. I have plans for Gloomy Wizard, and they do not involve being comically evil—just comically sad.

Ah. 'Tis a shame; we could have used someone like you.

((I assume this gives me some control over hardware/software))

((Pretty sure affinities are more about a concept than just a word. I highly doubt you can control electronics with a blade affinity. Despite being called Blade brand, they are not a blade and have nothing to do with blades.))

[star2wars3]

((But I can control blades of grass. Which are just leaves if you think of it so to a certain extent there may be a president in place. Of course, I'll wait for DG's ruling before trying anything on this line of thought.))

[BlitzDungeoneer]

((I think you mean 'precedent'. I don't think presidents, past or present, have anything to do with your ability to control blades, and variations thereof ))

[NAV]

((Grass has leaves shaped like blades. Blades of grass. And some, like sawgrass, is actually very sharp.))

[Whisperling]

((But I can control blades of grass. Which are just leaves if you think of it so to a certain extent there may be a president in place. Of course, I'll wait for DG's ruling before trying anything on this line of thought.))

((Grass stems are called "blades" for a reason. Specifically, they resemble more traditional blades. Just saying something is a "blade" doesn't actually make it so, especially in the absence of any real relationship or evidence. By that logic, I could just call weapons "knowledge" and begin summoning heavy artillery.))

((That said, you could definitely make a blade act like electronics. Or anything else, for that matter.))

Well, you could step from Knowledge to Power...

If you get shot down (Star2Wars3), you could sacrifice Marcus' s shards to the Manipulator for the Orb of Many Paths, which would allow you to do that. There's a reason I spent several turns questing for it.

((Being a bit more serious, if we were to actually use this logic, there'd be no point to the affinity system because, if worded in a specific way, any affinity could probably be used to do anything, if not quite as well as an affinity dedicated to the same thing.))

Which is why the orb is totally worth 5 shards (shameless self-advertising)!

((There is no confirmation that giving away your shards would actually net someone the orb.))

((Also, I hate to be a wet blanket, but DG has made it pretty clear that dead characters can't get better. Even necromancy can only really save someone on the brink of death. (or create a sapient minion, but since their soul has been turned into shards, I suspect that they're NPCs.)))

((Yes you are correct. The f you know how to use an affinity, you can do anything with it. For example, I could create a blade which summons item X given enough ESSENCES and shards. Personally, I want to create a scabbard that summons a random blade every turn within it sort of like The Gamblers chair))

Yeah, I know. I just want to have him as an option for later (perhaps in other games!).
