i can really probably get all the draconic elements i want mainly out of a demon slant because wings/horns/claws/tail and all that come along with that
and i don't actually want it to be specifically reptilian anyway because i considered if i wanted to like spend points for something like that down the road
but for now i wanted to play around with like the idea of "fire made flesh" dragon angle in the most annoyingly literal way possible lmao in a living fire way
i would only take reptilia down the road because if you can turn into one animal and it's gotta be a horrible little bat it could probably have more lizard vibes and become more dragon but also a horrible little bat is still so funny
also i'm guessing every other monster type is going to get weirder and probably stronger as they change but he is going to die for a few months and enjoy no benefits and he'll probably take that very well who else had a wasting disease
naturally this will be offset by the fact that he gets to be a vampire now but it will have diminishing returns pre-death and also perhaps we need to confront the reality of preying directly upon the innocent etc
would you prefer we handwave tdm stuff and I hit you with something new for that, or are you into continuing tdm? I am cool either way but wanted to check in
i think pre-death it's more of an energy drain because he won't really have the magic yet so every time he shifts it's expensive because it uses a bunch of energy to recover from that because i like to think it takes a few hours to return to normal after that
after death the magic takes over and then i imagine it's like... to cite another elf thranduil covering the scars lol diminished magical power means more of that showing through which is bad!! weakness!!
also i'm dumb and time is a mystery but i am guessing that because of how the timing has worked the event is actually in like an hour for me and not like tomorrow huh lmao
i was never super active but i am trying to be mostly because i want to do more so like it is all good challenges but also would be cool if it wasn't an uphill battle lol
but loosely some thinky thoughts to expand upon later while i am having them i am thinking whatever happens in the woods will probably be the catalyst for like more corruption/the actual dying process begins because i think whatever happens with that (collectively since i'll probably have more than one thread related to it) will be the tipping point
people i still need to respond to on the ooc meme i see u but now that i know what the prompts are i feel less stressed because i know what i'm doing so pin in that
i gotta say as monster things go this is kind of new and spicy and different because i usually want to do something animal-coded but i am like obsessed with this fire thing lmao
so the list i have so far: john, astarion, takasugi, tav, bones, max, hubert, set/ace, chuuya, eleanor plus stuff i have in progress: konoha, silco, harang
randomly commenting bc SAME CAST but if u have the helaena player on here... tell them they are very smart and awesome for tagging konoha bc I think that cr could be amazing
i had like this one little characterisation thing i could just never sort out in my mind and i am a FOOL because it was staring me in the face the whole time but i didn't figure it out until just now

: i know we are also doing an imprinting thread for this event but did you also want to lean into that in this thread too which would also neatly transition nicely into imprinting 2.0 lmao either way works but i see an opportunity (and didn't want to assume)
ok time for me to stop being weirdly restrictive with myself and just post prompts piecemeal instead of trying to find several for one post because they're like closed and semi-closed anyway
i also asked the mods if i could swap his daylight weakness for darkness weakness and keep the 50% of the time weakness in place just flavour it in the opposite way
i am basing his main post-death corrupted form on a withered nightborne so lol very skeletal and spooky but if he takes care of himself he'll get to have a lovely glamour during half the day hours and no one will know and after that it's harder to disguise everything

: he ran into her after she ran off in a panic when the crowd rushed in to meet them in the park and now wants to deliver her to aemond in the most petty way possible to be like "hey you should really keep an eye on your sister lol"
the fact that aemond has already used the network means he's going to figure out this function first so it probably just blows up and he's like ???? i thought this thing opened doors
because they're all true🔥 liem
🔥 silco
🔥 eleanor
diminished magical power means more of that showing through
which is bad!! weakness!!

simply stop naming everyone aegon
john, astarion, takasugi, tav, bones, max, hubert, set/ace, chuuya, eleanor
plus stuff i have in progress:
konoha, silco, harang
the only job he's actually been good at.....
either way works but i see an opportunity (and didn't want to assume)
help i'm never gonna stop thinking about this david j. peterson????
maybe
where you can sort of see beneath them and it's spooky
very skeletal and spooky
but if he takes care of himself he'll get to have a lovely glamour during half the day hours and no one will know
and after that it's harder to disguise everything
just keep your face mysterious and half in shadow
