Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is why I shouldn't have my phone nearby when I'm in bed.

When weapons are first bonded with a Hunter, wouldn't they be fear starved? Is there a place to fed a fed starved weapon or would it not be necessary as it would be like feeding the weapon's addiction?

Do some Hunters have mini pets as pets and if so, how do they survive with being outside Halloween?

Weapon starvation - I hear that weapon starvation typically is the weapon complaining that it is hungry. Has it every escalated to a point were the weapon is outright complaining and demanding constantly to be fed as if it needs a fix badly? Does this ever get to the point of being a major problem? Are there measures to prevent this or ways to deal if this escalates to a problem?

In Life, can trainees ask for specifics fields of study to work under seeing as they research different subjects (outside of their normal duties and what is currently necessary to be done)?

Can Life Hunters, like Amityville students, get mentored under someone?

When humans in the normal world first see shadows (the recruits that will be taken into Deus) - how do they see these shadows? Are they just shadows, are is this just the term for Halloweeners? How much detail do they see - just shapes and some variations of shadow depths with maybe eyes? Can they hear noises coming from these creatures - like grunts and hollow breathing? Can they also be pushed aside or would the creatures go through them if any human was ever stupid/daring enough to confront them?

Shadows that hunters see come in two flavours: shadowlings ~ which show up in some courses and tend not to be very powerful, as they are generally just the runaway shadows of halloweeners and such ~ and tend to be less intelligent than minipets. And halloweners themselves, normal humans can't see TiHers unless the creature in question is capable of controlling their FEAR to the point where they make themselves visible. Generally they just see indistinct shadows, noises can be indeed heard, they can be pushed aside, unless the creature is intangible (ghost or nat ability) ~

There are times when potential hunters see very vivid, distinct TiHers, but these times are few and far between, it's rare for a potential to see them like this more than once or twice in their lifetime.

It's language and symbols and hunters with a great deal of knowledge when it comes to both language and symbolism can create more. Basic ones can be figured out with ease, the common/ancient ones you could find in google, others are generally kept as need-to-know-only in the life labs ~

The tiher shadow creatures show up w/e a TiHer icly would ~ and shadowlings tend to stick to areas where they blend well

They have sight, but it's limited to their hunter's sight. That doesn't mean they see exactly as the hunter sees though. It's just like when two people see one picture, and while one can accurately describe everything in it, another might only be able to describe a few items, but in greater detail. So what they really "see" is dependent on the two different personalities and cognitive abilities.

Same thing with hearing.

And they're also able to feel as they're handled/used ~ as well as the strength of their FEAR shield ~

All other senses are a no ~

The weapon would be unhappy, thats for sure. The pain is possible, depending on conditions, but it's remote. A weapon would generally be more upset at the mistreatment than because of how it felt.

Yes, though just normal pen ~ it can't write for itself or anything
