Welcome to Gaia! ::

Is it possible for Alkidikes to be Beast Tamers? Or is that an Earthling only path?

Also, on your earlier convo. I was allowed to have Volle grown even though a few of her 10+ rp's were still ongoing.

Answer

Unfortunately, Beast Tamer is an Earthling only class. Alkidike are bound to pursue one of the three options for Alkidike: Amazon, Sacred Heart, or Guardian.

So is there an RP aspect of the spells?
Like say Volle gets the scroll that lets her use one spell and she chooses the water level 1, outside of battle can she use this spell to manipulate the water? (She'd totally use it to grab drink from the barrel and refill her glass without getting up.)

Or are the spells battle use only so Volle would not be able to make water move outside of battle.

Answer:
In past rps we have seen those with spells used these spells outside of battle, so there isn't any reason Volle can't do this as well. heart Thank you for your question!

Quick genetics question!

Is it possible for a hybrid Alkidike to have black sclera and colored irises, or, black irises and colored sclera? (Black where the white of a human eye would normally be, but still have the colored irises of human, or, color where the white would be and black where the human eyes color would normally be)

Answer

No, this is not possible due to the biology of the eyes between earthlings and Alkidike. There would be no possibility where an Alkidike Earthling hybrid would have the above mentioned combinations.

robot kitten: Is Neued being given back to the shifters? or are the Oban's keeping a hold of that?

Answer

Neued is under a transition phase for the next couple of IC months as the effects of war clears out from Jauhar. So for the moment there are water, shifter, and fire within the village (as well as stragglers from the other areas), but no hostile places. Once they clear out, there will be mostly shifters again, though there will be the added fun of a few settled water earthlings and it will be like a mixing place for all those south in Tendaji (fire, water, and shifter since the topography makes it hard to travel north without going through Jauhar first).

In a previous question, it was stated that a character CANNOT CHANGE THEIR CLASS once chosen, even if they have a change of heart.

However, characters have an uncanny ability to get into serious trouble and to change completely in concept.

What happens if, due to RP/plots/the natural course of character development/ or the like, a character becomes unable, either completely or without extraordinary (and unlikely) amounts of adaptation, to progress in their current class?

For example: an archer losing an arm/the use of an arm, an Alkidike no longer living with/unable to access their tribe, someone suffering a curse that effects their magic, or someone who has become severely injured or sick and is left unable to continue in a battle class?

Answer

Physical ailment (such as loss of limb) is the only way something like this would be logical. An alkidike cannot change classes even if they are not living with Alkidike, and curses that would effect the ability to perform magic permanently are not known to Tendaji. Such a thing would be a case by case basis and would have to have permission from Tendaji staff and their full approval of the plot since it is not permitted to change classes and is against the rules of the store.

I was wondering what the Oban's tactics for invading and occupying cities in Juahar would have been, and what sorts of weapons the majority would have used. If Prala's mother was killed while trying to flee the Oban forces (for plotting purposes), would it be believable to say she was hit by a stray arrow or something while escaping? I'm trying to work out Prala's experience during the war. Would Sol have been affected? Would they have taken captives and if so how would those captives have been treated? If Prala had been taken prisoner during an occupation, would it be realistic to say she was able to escape?

Answer

The Obans claimed territory by sheer force for the most part. They are much larger in number than most of Tendaji and would have brought ample troops with them. The majority of Obans would have carried swords or dual blades, but all types of weapons were used including bows and arrows, so having Prala's mother killed by a stray arrow would be believable.

Sol would not have been effected as far as being invaded, only Neued was lost in battle, but it would have seen a massive overflow of refugees during the war. Obans did take captives during the war, including the NPCs Freya and Besian who were released after the war had ended. The captives only had enough time to be contained before the war ended, though they were probably given very little food during their imprisonment and a few were tortured for their information. during the final stages of the war captives did actually escape from the Oban camp, so it would be realistic.

My second question is, Prala is still a prentice but my goal is to have her become an archer. Can I have her use a bow and arrows in rp and in her journal? Do I need to buy some from the store first? Or do I need to wait until she completes a class quest? Does it need to be in her art? (Ok maybe a lot of little questions, sorry xD)

Answer

Characters can RP using their weapons for practice purposes while in their prentice stage generally speaking. Store bought weapons are only necessary when a character grows so they can participate in the battle and beast battle systems.
When a character grows to stage 2 (and all stages past that) their art will reflect their chosen path. (so Prala will have a bow in all future art if she chooses to be an archer)
