The Esoterics: Devil's Whisper OOC (Fantasy, Open, Intrigue)

By the way guys, how long do each of you estimate your response time will be? I can almost guarantee mine will be within the day, due to my frequent activity. I just want to know so I can get a rough estimate of how often I should check back.

I can also respond daily for the most part, although I am rather lazy.

You play Code Vein? Ah I see you're a person of culture as well

I got the true ending on my first playthrough, now I'm helping my friend before I go on to NG+. I'm only 8 achievements away from having them all.

Gotta catch em all

Lol. I prefer to make my posts longer because I don't want just a few lines, so that also impacts it, as I easily get distracted.

Also we need some more court positions.

Arbitration Censorate:
Grand Imperial Arbitrator
Deputy Imperial Arbitrator
Hand of the Gods (handles persecution of nobles)

State Affairs:
State Chancellor
Imperial Treasurer (very important)
Minister of Architecture

Imperial Affairs:
Imperial Premier
Promoter

Machi Yin:
I think we can stick with Shogun for now

And for the Kosen Machi:

Elites (refers to the Mayato/Cheristi, Jikosuro, or Kamuri)
Imperial Adviser (my boi Sarin holds this post)
Noble Commoners (nobles who don't have elite status)

I'll expand later, and I'll also probably go to Google Translate to give the names something more unique sounding

Xavi can be the Imperial Treasurer if you want. I'm toying with the idea of some kids, Nightmare's past, and a few more details.

Within a day or two.

The Imperial Treasurer is really only important for those that use it correctly. Xavi can hold that position, or he can be a State Chancellor or something. Also looking forward to seeing the new ideas you have

Yeah, I guess that doesn't really fit him now that I think bout it, yeah, State Chancellor sounds good.

Alright. While on the topic, what's the news with the Kosen Machi conference that was going on? I had Sarin and Arrindor attend but it seemed nothing is happening.

Also, I'm assuming this a reference to Diva's Charm Talk Ability?

His words settle on Ayato like a mist, they have a calming effect, sure, he could shake it off pretty quickly if he remained focused, but his words feel so good, most people find them very intoxicating.

In which case, I recommend making it clear beforehand. Something like "Diva decides to tap into the power of his Esoteric Magic...". For the original Devil's Whisper, I changed the text color to reflect the ability being used. Just a suggestion

K, yeah, that's his charm talk, I'll change the font color to a blue, but I did state he used it.

That's true. It just looks to me that it had no effect on Rin and Taka, probably because it was mentioned so casually that it went unnoticed by 5pb.

It's strength depends on the amount of effort Diva puts in, and he rarely inputs any strength to it, making his words little more than a calm, cool, sweet idea that people like, but don't always follow. Diva is free now, so if you want to use Devil's whisper, the time is approaching. I would like some dialouge interchanged between the characters before it happens though.

Yeah you're right. I realized I was applying the rules of Devil's Whisper to Charm Talk. The two have similar effects, but are fundamentally different. My bad

I'll have Jasmine go out and interact with him. She won't use Devil's Whisper unless Maurikael commands her to do so, which will allow for a lot of dialogue between the two.

You're fine, it's cool.

In the other RP I'm running, there's a system known as Events. Its purpose is to give the players issues to respond to if nothing else is really going on. I have a feeling we'll need a version of it here, as I noticed Lastfell hasn't been posting and the three of us only respond if we're directly in a situation that requires it

Yeah, good idea....I agree. I have something coming we can all interact with soon.

It involves a LOT of npcs, and basically Nightmare is going to stage an attack on the capital, in a extreme, and unexpected attempt to firmly place Arrindor on the throne. Portray Arrindor as the hero of the narrative, keep others who could help out of the fight by taking care of them personally, and get rid of any contender to the throne.

Wow, Nightmare is a madlad. I think this can work, as things haven't picked up here.

Nightmare stops at nothing to get his desired result, sacrificing anything, and anyone in order to achieve his goal.

[5pb]

For the whole "Rin is the middle prince" thing I think that the first prince should recognize him at some point and call out his real name.

Also feel free to have random people like guards interact with him.

anyone left alive: Did you do it?

anyone left alive: What did it cost?
Nightmare: Everything

ayy I'm going to have the Machi Yin talk to him. Arrindor may come across him as well, as it appears the Kosen Machi meeting isn't going anywhere.

I'm planning on Sumani being another Esoteric. Not entirely sure on his ability, but I want it to revolve around gambling and low level probability manipulation. I think it'll add quite a bit to the RP

[Frachen]

YES!

Probability manipulation tho? I wonder how that would work.
