Are all the characters living in the same city?

I'm also quite curious about what you have planned for the introductory arc, and how you're going to bring our characters together.

[up]Don't worry, I've got that all planned out.cool

So considering the average lifespan of a female Japanese Macaque (6.3 years), Setsuko is probably like 4-5 years old chronologically at most. That should lead to some interesting interactions. (Though, in human years, she's the equivalent of being in her early twenties.)

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

Then again who knows what effect being divine vessels might have on our lifespans.

[up]What indeed.wink All I can say at this point is that just what effects your Inner Myths will have on your lifespan, and on your very selves, will become more evident as the RP goes on.

Another Question: Do the Characters have to worry about mortals witnessing several people (and a monkey-girl) performing supernatural feats of magic and power against mythical creatures? Or is there something that will alter their perception, like the Mist?

Because with the powers some of us are packing, any mortals witnessing them in action have a pretty good chance of being sent to the loony bin.

[up]And when we inevitably reduce the warehouses to rubble, no one will think it out of the ordinary.

[up][up][up]That will actually be somewhat important. Belief is going to play an important role in this RP, and what the average citizen believes may have an impact on certain aspects of the game. This includes a grown monkey-woman fighting against a 60-ft Hydra in the middle of the street.tongue

So, if a person believes in the Celtic Pantheon, and a person has powers within that domain, only they would be seen doing magical feats? Or is it how open their minds are to the possibility of magic?

kkhohoho (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#14: Jul 3rd 2014 at 6:28:57 PM

[up]Sort of. Most PC's can be seen by NPC's; all but Setsuko, at least at first. Well, sort of. If Setsuko is in her normal monkey form, then she'll be seen by all, but not if she transforms into any other forms. That's because doing so would be an act of magic, and most people do not believe in magic at the start of the RP. However, very soon after the RP begins, (right in the opening arc,) this will start to change, and more and more people will begin to believe in magic, as well as be more open to the possibility of various mythologies being true. As the RP goes on, this general belief will steadily increase, but a PC can also attempt to raise the belief of their own mythology. This can have a few effects, such as raising the chance of creatures or locations from their mythology reappearing in the present, or, better yet, increasing your power-levels. Keep in mind that increasing your power-levels can be a double-edged sword; as your character gains power, so too does your Inner Myth. If they become powerful enough, they may attempt to exert more influence on their human host, even going so far as to try and change their physical appearance to more closely match themselves. Just how that will turn out will depend on each individual character and player.

Even more "honorable" gods that are more caring about humanity, like Hector's spirit Quetzalcoatl?

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.

[up]As I said, it will depend on each character and player. If your Inner Myth chooses not to attempt to exert their influence, then that's fine; it's up to you.

Wait, so Setsuko is Invisible to Normals unless she's in her normal non-hybrid monkey form? Or would they just see her as a normal human?

[up] probably only as a monkey until midway through the opening arc. Then magic would be recognized by mortals.

[up][up][up] Considering Quetzalcoatl is a giant feathery winged snake, probably for the best.

[up][up]Exactly; maybe not even that far in. If it makes it easier, I can make a post here in the Discussion letting you know when her shapeshift-forms become visible, if that would help.

As long as you make it kind of obvious when the belief kicks in, I should be able to figure it out. Also, that's going to get some weird looks at first.

"Is that a monkey walking down the street? Uh, I think someone should call animal control..."

Alright! First post is up! But to ask, our posts would just be what our character is doing at the moment, correct?

kkhohoho (4 Score & 7 Years Ago)
#23: Jul 4th 2014 at 12:02:23 PM

[up]Yup. Just post about whatever you want; whatever your character happens to be doing. When you're ready to fight the minotaur, you can have your character start to hear it, start to see it, have the minotaur start to come close, etc. The same goes for any PC, more or less.

Quick question: can people hear Setsuko when they can't see her? Or can they only hear her if she makes monkey noises?
