It's Another One of Those Posts!
Hi everyone!
So, Artemis MU session has left him with a rather unique and wholly undesired ability. In his canon, those who possess magic/are magical creatures can hear what is known as the Magical Commune as the moon grows full. Unfortunately for Artemis, his system has been so saturated with magic, he can hear it almost all the time. This is where you guys come in!
If your character uses magic/has abilities that are classified as magic in their canon, they are a 'magical creature' in Artemis' canon. This means that Artemis can hear their Commune. What exactly does this consist of?
The Magical Commune is made up of emotional memories--not specific memories or thoughts. It is a general impression of the magical creature's history in noise-form. Singing, yelling, laughing, et cetera. So, for example, the fairy people in Artemis' canon were forced underground by humans (no, not a spoiler whatsoever. XD) and so their Commune is rather angry/sorrowful.
And so! If your character uses/used magic, I would very much appreciate it if you would comment here letting me know the overall tone of your character's Commune. The more specific the better. Artemis won't know why your character's Commune is the way it is (unless he asks, of course), but stronger emotional memories will form the basis of the Commune.
F.A.Q.:
What is not classified as Magic?
Anything that must be developed through bodily training (not mental training) is not classified as magic in Artemis' canon. Chi in Dragonball Z/GT/XQR/etc. is a good example of this.
What is classified as Magic?
If your character has an ability that does not require any channeling devices (i.e., Evokers in Persona) that they were born with/learned through study and not intense training, this is classified as magic, like the magic system in Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
Does Kidou count?
Because Kidou can be used for healing and binding (two things that magic can do in Artemis' canon), Tia and I have figured out that it counts.
What about Persona 3?
Because the Persona people need a physical object in order to use their abilities (Evokers), they do not count. Anything that REQUIRES a physical object (i.e.: there is NO WAY anyone could use the ability without said prerequisite object that is solid and doesn't pop out of nowhere) does not count.
Nobodies?
Because Nobodies have both a power of darkness and another affinity (gravity, water, etc.), Nobodies have TWO Communes that overlap--the Darkness which is uniform to all Nobodies, and the affinity that is more personal to the Nobody.
But Serey, Nobodies don't have emotions! How can they have a Commune when they don't have emotions?
A Commune can also consist of memories and personality. Their Commune will be considerably quieter (i.e.: Zexion's sounds a lot like white noise), but they have one.
LET'S TALK NARUTO!
Chakra, because it is something that has to be honed and developed and skills learned to use it at all, does not count. However, inborn abilities where the user is automatically able to use the ability WITHOUT TRAINING count (i.e.: Haku's Kekkei Genkai).
Forget Naruto--DEVIL FRUITS!
Devil Fruits, because they give the eater/user physical attributes instead of being a mental-thing, do not count. :3
My character's powers resulted from a freak accident!
If said freak accident allowed them to instantaneously have access to abilities and powers without extensive training, they count. SEE SUPERHERO RULE.
SUPERHERO RULE:
If your character is a superhero and is NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED AS MAGICAL IN THEIR CANON, they are safe even if they qualify for the freak accident rule. The reason for this is because most of these superheros powers are physically based/require training to harness. If your superhero's powers are more mentally based, though (telepathy, talking to dolphins, whatever) we should talk it out.
My character's powers deal with the supernatural (ghosts, spirits, etc.).
If said power is mentally-based (i.e.: their power isn't slaying ghosts with vacuums or whatever), we should talk. :3
My character is a vampire.
Unless they are a MAGICAL vampire (i.e.: they can perform magic from birth/vampiredom), they don't count. Simply being a vampire does not make you magical in Artemis' canon.
I know this is confusing guys, and I'm really sorry for it. D: But as this progresses, things get a little easier...? 8D
Thanks! ♥
