Welcome to Gaia! ::

I live in Canada. Thanksgiving was like, a moneth ago.

*nods at Kraun* After the second time mentioning this I just gave up and decided to wish people good times.

Vahn can do this now apparently.

Hm.. sorta.

Can only do it with the right hand, and it follows the law of nature, so it'll get easily diverted if someone throws metal to the side or something.

And runs on dark emotions, yadda yadda, Yaits thing, physically draining dark side, cakes, etc.

:kid with new toy:

And wow-- ah thanks. Not really used to people giving me gifts, but I do enjoy my knives.

Well, isn't it that the origin of the fire is biochemical, while the manipulation of it is a magic/psionic elemental control?


Blood carries oxygen in it, though the oxygen is carried in hemoglobin cells (red blood cells) after being absorbed through the lining of the lungs.

...though I really got nothin' as for why he wouldn't light up like a pyre.


Generally, positive energy refers to your generic energy of life. Used largely for healing and buffing, or attacking undead, since it reinforces life and bodily energy.

Negative energy is the opposite, un-life. Not death, death is the absence of these energies. Undead are animated by negative energy, and are harmed by positive energy; however they absorb negative energy just like living things absorb positive energy. Used for attacking living things, negative energy generally drains life and bodily energy, causes curses, contagions, other things like that...

Basically it's life and anti-life energy.

I'm rambling because I have 2 pages of bio on this prepped for HoH.


Yeah, what've you got in there?

Arcane - being specific energy types.
Divine - being spiritual energy.
Psionic - being mental energy.
Chi/Ki - being bodily energy.

Those, I think, cover all your basic energy types. As for how they are manifested, you'd have:

Natural - physical, chemical, electrical, so forth.
Magical - powered by the manipulation of energy (usually arcane or divine).
Supernatural - deviating from natural law through means of manipulation of energy (usually psionic or chi/ki).
Spell-like - Psionic or Chi/Ki abilities that simulate Arcane/Divine effects.

...the only one of which that wouldn't be affected by 'anti-magic' would be the natural. Meaning that an anti-magic thing could stop Mr. Tomorrow who apparently generates incredible ammounts of electricity as a supernatural (chi/ki?) ability, but not an electric eel since it has a bodily organ that produces electricity naturally...






Electricity from the hands? Oh man... a long time ago, there was this kid, who opened up a 'how to roleplay' thread despite being rather ignorant himself. Soon after he became my loyal minion, and I rewrote his character's bio to include natural explanations for most everything he had in there, including his 'shoots electricity' thing. That took a bit of work. I had to write in insulators, grounding wires, secretion glands, and a number of things... and then teach him about conductivity, electromagnetism, and grounding.

Basically I wrote him in a spiderman-esque gland on the wrist that squirted sweat (saltwater, an alkaline, very conductive) so that the electricity fired from the hands would bunny-hop on the squirt instead of arcing back at him or just shooting to the ground.

Lightning/electricty is not meant to naturally hsoot forwards, I know that much.

So its not like I'll be zapping people from long distance, or around corners.

More for flavor than actual zest, if you get my drift.

Replace gasoline with male goat's milk or whatever the hell Vahn drank at PoC.

You get an A.
