((I figured I should PROBABLY do this because it will eventually clear up a lot of his behavior as time progresses. This will be edited from time to time with more relevances...Possibly with other avatars as he meets them ( Read more... )

Uhm, would he be Lucifer in any case? :x There's a Lucifer in Sandman lol

XD I'd say it's a very distinct possibility. I have to finish the currently out Young Wizards books. Then I'm going to go chasing all the Sandman books from my library network, since half of them are like 5 or 6 towns away. ^^ I know next to nothing about the Sandman. Besides Jill Thompson's graphic novel retelling of Season of Mists(At Death's Door) and other people's short stories from Sandman: The Book of Dreams.

XD This whole RPG is making me do research into series I'd NEVER have touched otherwise. Well, I might have ended up touching on Sandman eventually...Since I read At Death's Door long before I joined here. ^^

Ahh, okay. It would be sooo interesting to have them meet since Death thinks that she's not a bad thing, not really lol XD

Re: OOC dark_dealer July 12 2006, 17:04:51 UTC

^^ Yeah...It would be interesting to say the least and probably a lot more confusing. XD Until I read up I think he's somewhat a link between Destruction, Despair and Desire in the Sandman world. If that makes any sense at all, which I'm not personally sure if it does. He likes worlds that are lost, both to hope and to his power. He prefers darkness to the light. His chief currency in his business is pain in any of its forms. And to get to the pain and darkness and loss of hope, he often plays with the desires of the Others around him.

And Death being good... My personal opinion is that Death in her Sandman embodiment, is the one Power in his world who created Timeheart--a version of heaven, the one place where what is loved lives forever. According to the whales that would mean the Tenth Lord of the Humours, the Silent Lord during the Whale's Choice. It's not quite clear, but that might mean that she's actually his 'younger brother' that he isn't very fond of--The One's Champion--or possibly another younger sibling. ^^

Yeah, but the thing about the Endless is that they aren't simply what they're named after. So, Destruction is also creation and Despair, hope, and so on. And playing with the desire of Others would mean that he is playing with Desire.

Oh, and Death is not a power or a person, she is simply what she is named after, in a way, what happens to you instead of someone who made it happen. Do you get me? Uhmm so yeah, she is not a goddess or a power she is simply the personification of what she is named after; Death/Life. She probably won't mind if you call her life since that is what she is, too XD

Oh, and in Sandman, Lucifer is named Lucifer Morningstar XD

Re: OOC dark_dealer July 13 2006, 18:52:39 UTC

...That is just too amusing. XD And even the Lone Power has his moments of being more than just evil and darkness, a lot like the Endless. It's just a little bit more...shadowed than clear. If he wants to, he could very well make death a hopeful gift rather than a dark one.

:/ He has two versions by the eighth book of the series and a lot of in-between. He can be a lot more than the most physical of the powers, if he wants to. My version of him doesn't really want to at all. Who knows what'll happen from being in Paixao though--either he's going to continue with his usual work of persuasion or he might finally decide he wants the light back. :/ Depends on how many lumens pressure him, I think. ;)
