Quote: It would be interesting to see how much you can change Slow Light.
You know... Tama's gonna be giving him drinks just for the hell of it.
To see what it looks like.
Maybe we can get Ethan to give him an alcoholic drink.
See what happens.
Would he get liver cancer?
Or would he not pick up the alcohol at all?
That's an interesting thought... He'd probably soak it up with everything else, and because it would be less dilute it'd be like drinking it straight... So he'd probably get drunk super quick. And I don't know if raevan's even have livers at the first stages of life... 8'D ]

I think your Essences are interesting in that they're based off of ideas and concepts more than physical items! O: I would suggest changing the Arrow of Hate name, maybe, as it might be too close to Arrow of Time (which may not be a problem, but they don't have anything in common XD). Maybe something more that has to do with Cupid, since it's specifically an arrow in relation to him rather than just some ol' random one? Like, Cupid's Lost Arrow, or Cupid's Miss. XD I dunno. Just a thought.
The Horn and the Bone are GREAT, but I must ask: how will these make a unique Raevan? O: I see the examples (and think they're super cute, especially Murad's feeding results), but I'd reeeaaaally like to see their personalities. XD With the Bone, I wonder if the power might be a bit much? I suppose it results mostly in where his strengths lie (the pre-determined stats), but I also don't know if granting wishes will be on Natsuki's Raevan's territory (seeing as she is a Djinn). To offer an idea/suggestion, maybe his power would be more inclined to be supportive or influential, as when someone really wants something, he can spur them to believe they can obtain it. Or if he grants them a wish, it should cost him something (like severe fatigue). Or something of that ilk. XD; I'm not 100% sure how outside powers work (IE, powers that are non-elemental or are more based on inciting something out of someone else willingly or otherwise), so don't take that suggestion to heart! whee
Also, a consideration for the souls - make sure that Ethan can catch them! I mean, if he likes to dive or has an exotic collection, then it's solved. XD As much as I love the aquatic souls, some things are a bit harder to catch (like the jellyfish), so should you choose these particular souls, make sure they can be obtained in a way that your character wont have to break character to get them. :3 (That was one of my greatest fears with Alex, was that she could not willingly take something's life!)
Aaaaand, this may not be true, but this is my observation while helping friends with customs - the alignment of a Raevan seems to be derived from the soul, not the fel essence. This may be something to consider when creating their personalities/habits. :3 (Example: Gage has the soul of a Unicorn, which should be Good, but his essence is Radioactive Goo - and his alignment is Neutral Evil. Likewise, with Zul, you'd think him evil with the soul of a demon, but he is in fact Chaotic Neutral, a balance of his fel essence!)

I get where your coming from. Now that it's been brought up, I see your point. I'll play around with some different names, though I quite like 'cupid's miss' maybe I'll use that or something similiar..
As for your comment on the raevans's personalities; I'm thinking on how to portray them at the moment. I tend to take a while to get personalities down in words because I don't want my characters to sound cliche or rushed.. I also understand what you've said about the wish granting ability and it was only after I wrote it that I realised it could be a tad too strong and it was probably treading on Natsuki's toes.. I'll re-think that and re-write it soon. ^^b
"the alignment of a Raevan seems to be derived from the soul, not the fel essence" do you mean from the fel essence not the soul seeing as both the examples you gave showed the fel essence being the determining factor? >__> ]

*laughs* YES, that was what I MEANT. *headdesk* This is why Chrys doesn't give critiques, other than sucking at being eloquent. XD
Yeah, the fel essence is the deciding factor, not the soul. *giggles* THAT BEING SAID, because Sa'ida's soul is the Djinn, I'm not sure if her powers would be more from her fel essence, SO, that might be moot. I think it depends on the Raevan more so, however, as Rivener's power comes more from his soul than his essence. :3
Sorry about that. 8D <3

Oh and I didn't respond about gaining the souls.
I was thinking that Ethan, being as rich as he is, could have a collection in his home/office. ^^ ]
