Fantasy TFTNA - OOC

[Lumina]

This is where we can talk about stuff OOC.

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

We want a map, or are we gonna wing it?

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

So, the main group will probably always be moving around, but how many side groups do we want moving, and how many just in one place?

 

[Lumina]

a map would be cool.

i guess it depends on what’s happening?

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

Think this will work?


Well, Levren/Len and Ayen will just be going around adventuring and taking on random jobs. Thomas, I'm thinking will be caught up in a magical calamity and will want to research what happened. Masahi I see being a town/city guard.

 

[Lumina]

yeah seems good.

i haven’t really thought about what celaena and alenia would do. lilliana is the dark elf orphan that ran away from home. kaori is a priestess at a church as their healer. lumina, i haven’t decided, maybe she was caught up in the magical calamity same as thomas, or she had something to do with it.

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

Maybe Celaena and Ayen bought a shop or something? Something to make sure they don't have to rely on adventuring money if they don't want to? Alenia could be helping with that and/or studying a field.

Given the fantasy setting, an orphan may not have had a home, so maybe she was looking purely for a way to survive?

As for Lumina, the magic calamity will probably have something to do with spacial displacement/teleporting on a mass scale, so she could even find Thomas in the after math, but it'll be up to you.

 

[Lumina]

A shop makes sense. Would give kind of a permanent place for them to return to. I can see Alenia doing both. Whenever her job doesn’t need her, she’s helping out at home.

Yeah, something like that. I imagine when she’s found that she’s not doing so well.

If it’s on a mass scale, then yeah she could definitely have been caught up in it. Would be easy enough for her to end up finding Thomas. Maybe she was injured when it happened and he helped her out or something.

Yee, they're Elves so, between time and adventuring, they would've had enough money to start a shop. Celaena was probably adventuring with Ayen before Levren and Alenia were born. Heck, Ayen may only be adventuring now to show Levren the ropes.

How old would you say she'd be? If she was old enough, she'd be asked to become an adventurer so while she traveled with them she could be getting paid for jobs as well.

A whole city and surrounding villages. People would be randomly thrown around the world more or less. Thomas' goal then would be to make it back to that city, as he was probably there for a given reason.

Anyways, shall we set up some character sheets, so better define their goals?

oh yeah. Celaena probably kind of wants to go adventuring again but realized with the twins that she needed to settle down, though she probably still itches for adventuring every once in a while. Makes sense with taking Levren out on adventures for the first time, and what an adventure it would be if they come across a dark-elf orphan.

i imagine that lily would be younger, just to stick with her being younger than Len. not sure how much younger would be too young for her to go with.

maybe lumina isn’t from the part of the world that Thomas is from, and maybe gets like injured in the teleportation, so he helps her, and to thank him she helps him try to figure it out, also so that she can maybe return home or something?

yeah probably!

yeah probably!

Ayen is fine with whichever, but probably still has wanderlust leftover from his early days. I don't think Alenia would be the adventure type, but that's up to you.

Levren will probably be about 17, so Lily could be 12ish maybe 11 at minimum. Probably after a year at the longest Ayen will part ways with Levren. In the mean time if she showed interest in magic he'd show her the ropes, starting with casting low levels spells till mana depletion to build her pool of mana.

So, perhaps someone was trying to summon her and that's what caused it? I image it's harder to summon a living thing, and perhaps since she's a Phoenix it's even harder still? So trying to summon her from another world could cause it.

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

Also, I'll set up a cs when I get home.

oh of course. would be kind of fun for ayen and celaena to do something together i’d say. yeah, i don’t see Alenia traveling that much, more like tagging along if she’s already headed somewhere that she needs to go for work or whatnot.

yeah that age seems good. Like i said I think Lily would be like some kind of magical prodigy, but she hates dark magic because it’s what killed her parents and orphaned her. so maybe as she travels with ayen and levren she would see Ayen using magic for good things to show her that it’s not so bad after all, and then she would probably start to show some interest in learning it. and once she starts to learn it and realize there are not-evil ways to use her magic, she’ll blossom into it.

ooh yeah that’s a good idea. i like that.

I wonder which role in a party Celaena might of filled? I just have this image of Ayen either being oblivious, or not really caring about settling down but somehow Celaena won him over with learning how to cook heavenly food, and, um, other methods. I think if Alenia's going somewhere either Levren or Ayen would stay behind with Celaena so she doesn't get too lonely.

Good thing she's a magic user, she wouldn't be useful as a physical combatant at that age XD Ayen wouldn't be doing so much for good, as much as it's easiest to snag an adventurer's request and complete it for money purposes. And even though Levren won't use it much, Ayen did drill the basics into him. Levren practices to keep his mana at a point where he can use magic items made for mages.

Maybe she's summoned close enough to Thomas that when he gets caught up in the incident, she's pulled along with him wherever he's teleported?

Uh... support class maybe? Oh yeah for sure, she’s charming for sure. and yeah she’s definitely real good in the bedroom xD i could see that, though Celaena might feel a little bad that they feel obligated to keep her company.

right? but i guess i meant “good” as in not intentionally evil. like, nothing like her family where they would be cruel for no reason, or wouldn’t actually do anything without having an ulterior motive, “bad” stuff like that. I think Lily would have a pretty big reserve of mana that she just doesn’t use/know how to use.

yeah that could work. so when they get teleported, they’re like right near each other when they wake up. she’d probably be injured/unconscious, and i’m sure thomas would be like “wtf are you” before realizing she’s hurt and taking care of that first?

So, what sorta support? Like, buffs? Or arrows? Ayen just takes a whole day to process what happened afterwards like "Wait, what? Are you actually interested in me?" I feel like that charm makes Ayen do what she says a lot XD I feel like she'd be the only one to feel that way.

I think it would be okay sized, but once she started using magic it would grow large, like it's something that you grow/work into? Maybe she and Thomas possess a gene that allows for ridiculous mana pools when the person uses magic?

Given the fantasy world setting and his humbleness towards the unknown/what he can't do, he'd be fine with whatever she is. He'd be more concerned with answers, and her well being.

 

[Lumina]

I was thinking buffs. Maybe she can use a bow and arrow too, for funsies? Celaena would find it amusing and cute if he acted that way. And she doesn't necessarily mean to do it, she just naturally has that charm. It's just convenient xD I'm sure she does, but it doesn't stop her from feeling that way.

Right, she still is pretty young. Oh yeah, when she actually bothered to learn it she'd definitely find she has a lot of mana to work from. That's a good idea, it makes sense for them to possess a gene like that.

I'm wondering if maybe Lumina loses her memory? Like, not necessarily because she's summoned, but because something goes wrong when it happened?

So she would've been a backliner with Ayen then, but it would be good to have a bow. He'd be more concerned with why she never stopped his flirting with other women XD It would be a shame if her kids got that charm, who knows what'll do.

Just makes more sense that your magic would be like any part of yourself, so it needs use to be the best it can be. I may have an idea for a sub plot with that gene.

It could be an interesting driving force, if there were hints as to who she is in that world. Like, just being pulled into another world against your will can be enough of a shock, but it's up to you.

 

[Lumina]

I figured Celaena should probably be capablevof defending herself. I think she probably doesn’t necessarily want to tell Ayen what to do, but she does want him to herself in a sense. Maybe she hopes her charm will be enough? XD

Oh of course. Ooh, ideas and subplots! Tell me!

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Like if she loses her memory she’s gonna have no idea why she’s here, so both of them will discover what happened with the Calamity and why. Through it she can discover who she is as she goes along. Why would someone want to summon her anyways?

Yee, every adventurer has to be able to protect themselves. Well, I mean, before she makes her move, Ayen would be flirty at any stop with other people. After her move, not so much XD Once she makes her attack, he'd be just hers XD

Well, those genes could be part of a 'factor released by a now-deceased person tilted as a 'demon god.' Said person magically released this factor into numerous peoples among most races in an attempt to make sure when he was reincarnated he had his powers, but couldn't be traced. Said factor has been passed down several generations at this power. It would be the source of their wells of mana, Thomas's voiceless casting, and Lily's affinity for dark magic. Should that person reincarnate into someone else, it would happen before birth and the factor would give him all his powers by the age of five.

Ah, okay. Thomas would probably just be going through a long ass checklist in his head. At first, at least he'd think she's one of that magic races, but be focused on getting back to where he was before. Maybe they managed to summon someone else from her world and learned an interesting property of phoenixes that they wanted to use for themselves?

 

[Lumina]

Ah, okay xD I see her getting kinda jealous if she saw it, until she decided to buck up her own courage to make her own move xD

Huh, interesting. Makes enough sense to me. I wonder if lily and her family might be direct descendants, which would explain their list for violence and such? Or am I completely off?

What a good guy, Thomas is. I’m sure she’d appreciate it, even though she’s not sure of where “home” is. I also wonder about if rumors of phoenixes exist in common lore, so there would probably be people that they come across interacting with them or acting weird because of her. I wonder what that “special property” would be. There’s anything ranging from being able to use her reincarnation for bringing someone back to life to phoenixes being the only species able to open secret ancient vaults.

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

Maybe that jealousy is what made her buckle down and make her move? I wonder how she'd feel if she saw her son start to develop that flirting habits? XD

Let's name this person Laplance. Laplance used magic to implant his 'factor' within tens of thousands of people across several species because he had no descendants. It was a way of anchoring his rebirth to a certain degree so he'd be able to keep his selfhood upon birth and have his powers ready to be redeveloped. So you are a bit off, but having that factor may have gone to their heads over the generations if they knew about it.

Once he learns that there are no other humanoids with wings he'd try and find a way for her to hide them. But yeah, find out what happened, find her home if possible(It'd be fun if the fact she's from another world was the last thing she remembered), and continue his search for old magic for... reasons. Maybe Pheonixes can die and reincarnate in place of someone else? Sounds like something someone with that much power would want.

 

[Lumina]

Yeah, makes sense. She’d find it amusing, and kind of nice that he’s just like his father xD as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, it’s okay. It’s what drew her to Ayen after all.

Oh, okay. That makes more sense.

I imagine the “from another world” fact would indeed be the last thing she remembers. Because he was kind enough to help her, she would also help him with whatever he needed to do. It would probably be nice to find a way for her to hide her wings, after they’re healed from the summoning. I imagine one would get broken after something like that. Hmm, maybe? Or somehow they can be used multiple times for something?

 

[Tobi Naefaerne]

Hmmm, maybe Celaena and Ayen settled down in the same town Kaori is a priestess and Masahi is a guard? Like, they were probably there before Masahi and Kaori, but it would be an interesting idea, at least I think so. But yeah, Lev may not be sleeping around, but he might still be playful with those he flirts with.

Yeah, Lily having that factor could be bad in some cases as any old enemies of Laplance still being around might find her as a potential threat. Same with Thomas. If a person has the factor they would be suspected of being a reincarnation or being able to parent the reincarnation.

To keep it interesting, they could end up on the opposite side of the land mass. That way in would be a long journey, possibly taking years due to the fact that teleportation magic wouldn't be common at all, so the fastest thing would be horses and their ilk. Oh? They'd be damaged by the summoning? Maybe it'd be done by taking feathers from her? Or her feathers or fire have some type of powerful healing factor to them?

 

[Lumina]

That seems plausible. Setting up a shop there and everything.

Ohhhh, yeah that makes sense. Fun!

Yeah, I like that. Yay adventuring! Well I mean, if the summoning happens and it goes wrong, then it makes sense that she’d get injured. If summoning will always cause the mass teleportation calamity, then maybe not. Yeah, i was thinking something like how if she was captured she’d be worked and used for an extended time for as long as they can. Or if they can brainwash her or something of the like, she can also be used as a powerful weapon. I almost see her tears being used as a sort of cure-all from their healing abilities.
