powers; a permissions post.
Given the pull point from the Lucifer universe (granting her the name Lightbringer) and her nature as a demon, Mazikeen has several powers that require permissions in order to work. Please let me know if you are willing to allow permission for her to be able to:
Mazikeen is both a demon (a Lilim, in particular, and thus an exile of Hell as is the case with all of her race), as well as the Lightbringer. The Lightbringer is the title that was bestowed upon Samael (who ultimately fell and became Lucifer), and with the name comes the power of the light, which is the light of all creation. For the sake of the game, the strength of her powers has been distilled down into two separate aspects. One is occult magic, while the other one -- which is what is addressed in this post -- is much more directly tied to her title. The Lightbringer is two of the second most powerful entities in God's dominion (the other being the archangel Michael), and the main ability of the Lightbringer is to be able to shape creation into whatever it sees fit. This is not exactly the same as reality bending, which can have much less tangible results. It is, instead, almost a kind of hardcore alchemy. As a result, Mazikeen has a fundamental understanding of the fabric of all that exists, which is what allows her to see through attempts to conceal things such as glamours, as well as detect large-scale manipulations of reality. (Note to clarify - this is not in any way meant to imply an ‘understanding’ that is synonymous with omniscience. Instead, it is more like the way Neo sees the Matrix - he understands the ‘stuff’ of it, but not necessarily the hows or whys. The same goes for Mazikeen.)
Any questions, comments, thoughts, concerns, plots. Please feel free to post here and let me know.
- Determine the nature of your character (aliens, demons, god, 'other' -- in person only), please note whether they give off any 'signature' that she could detect from a distance (extremely powerful magical creatures, angels and demons).
- See through illusions, glamours, and other attempts to change 'the fabric of reality' (this includes reality bending and probability manipulation) -- in person.
- Detect any large-scale applications of magical, reality bending, or other hardcore 'supernatural' manipulations that your character may do -- in person or at a distance.
