Welcome to Gaia! ::

I actually had a question about Knight naming conventions. I noticed that a custom for a Numenor Page was recently won and wanted to know if fictional locations are now allowed for active, living Knights. I know for Negas who were Knights in a past life it is allowed, but wasn't sure about present day. Thanks!

Fictional names are not allowed for official knights. The quest will be asked to change the name to something that fits in with shop guidelines during the critting process. (Though in this case it looks like the player already changed it)

Can Generals Promote Lieutenants to captains, or is that something only a General-king can do?

Iris: Only General Kings and Queens can safely promote agents through the ranks. Attempts by lower level characters will often end in mishaps such as youmafication.

Would Temporary hair dye be removed when a Nega ( Or really any powered faction character ) powers up and powers down?

I have a character quest for a nega, who in civilian form likes to dye parts of her hair random colors depending on her mood ( The "mohawk" strip right down the center of her bob ) usually changing every couple of weeks are so. Would it just be gone, when she powers down, back to the super pale blonde? Or would the temp dye dissapear while powered, and reappear when she goes back to civilian, as part of the glamor type of thing?

Iris: No the dye shouldn't disappear.

For the most part hair colors do not change (styles don't even change that often, though it does happen in a few cases then color) when a person powers up. So changes to the a character's hairstyle would actually be reflected in the powered form, which is why hairstyle changes is one of the more frequent/acceptable requests for alternate powered art.

So when she powered up with dye in her hair you could state that the color appears in her agent form as well. You might be able to say it doesn't appear/is protected by henshin too if you like. But regardless when she powers down she would look the same as she did before powering up.

ALSO. For this character, while her hair style itself never changes, can her Alt civilian artwork show the changes in the temporary hair dye? Or would it have to stay the dark brown / pale blonde of the pre-temp dye?

Yes! You can totally use different colors of hair dye for every different piece of alternate civilian art if you'd like to. As long as the changes are realistic (or heck, even a wig) you are free to change up their look in civilian art.

I'm sorry if this question is a little garbled.

I'm not sure if this has already been answered but how many people could a single senshi with a pearl charm chauffeur to the moon?

I'm assuming at most two - one per hand so to speak but wanted to double-check

Iris: This is correct. In normal situations each person with a charm could transport two other people along with them by holding hands.

An Order Princess/Prince has a little more leeway thanks to their power level and ability to travel off of earth at will (without cooldowns) so they might be able to take a few extras. Also, if it is a one time plot situation where you'd like a character to be able to take more you can always contact the mule to discuss the possibility.

what would happen to a person if their starseed was cracked? would it vary between hairline crack and significant crack? any impacts on powers?

Iris: Starseeds are incredibly fragile and delicate. When removed from the body, even fully intact, they will slowly lose their power. Merely touching and handling them inside the body (let alone corrupting or purifying them) is quite painful and uncomfortable to the person. Any actual damage to the starseed would resonate through the person it belongs to.

Even a tiny hairline crack would be extremely painful and possibly life threatening if not dealt with and healed in a reasonable time frame. One could say that it affects powers in a way since the character would likely feel fatigued and in constant pain.

A person with a significant crack would basically be dying. Unless they get immediate healing and help all their life force will leak from their starseeds and they will die. Lack of energy and severe pain would occur and they may not even have the energy to maintain their powered form.

Do combined attacks exist as a mechanic of the senshi magic in shop rules?

Iris: Not currently no. We may or may not try to work it in in the future, but for the time being senshi cannot combine their attacks to make more awesome ones.

For the medals, if our character has corrupted a PC character but there was never an RP done to that effect, may we claim the medal anyway?

For example: Linarite has corrupted three people to the Negaverse: Petalite, Lazulite, and Pectolite. None of these were specifically RPed though I think Pectolite might have been as a solo. ICly she has corrupted them, it is common knowledge, and she would have been given the medal but as the players chose not to RP the corruption I have no specific RP.

Iris: You do not necessarily need the actual rp of corruption. Any rp/solo where it is mentioned that she was the one who did the corruption will work as IC proof. This could even been a solo where the character reflects on having done the corruptions.
