Oh dear... Death, war, and just general anarchy, possibly all in one grouping. What is this heavy feeling of foreboding...

[Literally Snails 2,307]

She's actually INCREDIBLY vain.  She uses a cream that passively disfigures her just so that she can superficially appear twenty years younger.  The one thing she absolutely refuses to do is to accept her age.  She doesn't just desire to feel beautiful, she desires to be objectified.

 

Carnelian lives, breathes, and feeds on attention.  She's absolutely incapable of validating her existence otherwise, and so relies upon the hungry stares and cute blushes of the mares and stallions she attracts.  She firmly believes her sex appeal to be the crux of her influence and that if she had not gone to lengths to hide her true age, that nopony would take her seriously.  This internalized misogyny occasionally comes to the surface via intense bouts of anxiety that require sedatives, but so long as she manages to surround herself with yes-men who uphold her personality cult, this anxiety can be kept in check fairly easily.

She sounds a lot like Mason, Tricis' first apprentice with the inability to accept aging thing. I bet Tricis would piss her off pretty easily .3.

dont forget about the demons

[Hazard Time 1,127]

Also, while I'm here, I may as well ask people to help me brainstorm more about Carnelian's "innate" abilities, basically the equivalent of that cheap starter pistol with infinite ammo in some games.

 

Obviously, without offering any of her blood, Carnelian's powers are rather passive and most useful outside of combat.  Exactly what kinds of abilities you'd like to see, I'd love to hear :>

I'm sort of the the power and abilities person here, and sort of big on that in general, so I think I can help out. Now, just to be sure, you're looking for minor abilities related to hers, and not specifically combat related, right?

That is correct, minor abilities that wouldn't completely make her "premium" magic cost ineffective.  The sort of abilities that could probably apply in passive or light combat scenarios, but they'd be about as useless in a hard fight as a butter knife.

Okay. So, what were her main abilities again? I remember blood bending, but i'm just not sure of the specifics, or to what capacity.

In general, it's blood bending.  Combat abilities include things like small heart-seeking blood blades, blood rapiers, blood shields, blood chains, etc.  The more blood she has available, the power her abilities become.  If her opponent is wounded, she has the ability to take blood from them, but I'm still working out what's limiting the amount of blood she can take or what her opponent can do to stop her from sucking out all of their blood.

You could say that as she draws blood out of the wound, it heals faster than she draws. Therefore, the wound will heal before she can do too much damage (i.e., at an incapacitating level) to the level of blood within any pony's body.

 

Furthermore, as for passive abilities, what about a sort of "dark attraction," like a very boosted Charisma stat? Think how female vampires charm their prey before they attack. (Though such an ability would only work well when not in battle and with direct eye contact.)

That all could certainly work  Thanks!

I would, but we're not really speaking to each other and always figured that extends to characters?

 

Dude, I'm down for whatever, and those situations in the past, are exactly that, in the past. What would you like to do? 

 

 

Okay then, Night Tracer, went to look at their profile and I have to say its impressive and made me highly interested in enteracting. >_< sorry fell asleep yesterday it was 4:00 AM where I live.

 

Sure! Would you like to start or I? Either one is fine with me! And, glad to see someone like's that little shit. Thank you.  

[Lektra 2,342]

Well you're awesome then Tacoma.

 

Considering Lektra is Twilight's self proclaimed number one fan and I've been been looking to actually do something with that, how about hanging out? Also we might be looking for Cadence's help if you've been following what's been going on with Corona and I.

 

 

 

I am not sure about a high charisma stat thing Orion. It seems a bit unfair to use on players. I mean how would you feel if someone told you you had to act a certain way around their character? I personally feel it's a form of bunnying (controlling someone else's character).

 

Entitled character: I am so awesome, worship me for no apparent reason.

 

Non-sheep character: No, I will decide for myself if you're worth worshiping or not fit to lick my hoof.

I haven't. Care to inform me?

[Lektra 2,342]

Of course. Well in a nutshell it's not immediately apparent, but there are two Chrysalis while neither is aware of each other yet. One I am playing and one Down Trodden was playing but doesn't have time for right now. Him and I worked it out to where they got cloned and Corona and JR approved it a while ago. My Chrys is trying to get help for her people so they're not hostile to ponies and could have love to eat without having to attack ponies. Celestia suggested making a changeling community in the Crystal Empire where changelings who follow the reformed "clone" would be able to live in peace and feed on love from the Crystal Heart, not needing to attack ponies for love.

Your welcome, he is really cool. I don't care to start but it will take me a bit to type and post from my phone so I wouldn't wait around for it. I'll have him just arriving, but quick question. I see this is an arena and SoL area, what does the city look like? I would like a clear image in my head if possible.

I don't see the issue here so long as it's either a non-essential NPC or the character's controller approves.  Bunnying (I just learned that today!) is a serious issue, but only when it happens in conjunction with powergaming (forcing actions on another character without the other player's consent).

[Lektra 2,342]

Yea sorry then, you didn't specify. I'd totally agree with it being consent based.

ld like a clear image

 

We technically have a map, but I won't show the map, since no one uses the map. Essentially, just think of a town with a giant ass arena in the middle with residences, shops (somewhat like a strip mall), royal guar quarters, training grounds and whatever you want to put in it.

 

Also, so i'm starting and your character is bumping into me, or vise versa?

Well, for out of battle the ability to create small objects like lockpicks and whatnot out of blood seems like a definite possibility. For the whole sucking out blood idea, I wonder if she could have some sort of passive ability that allows her to store more blood than the average pony (say, 10, 15% greater than her baseline limit, and only activated when she drains more blood than she needs.) And as for stopping her, well, if they're in no position to fight back, they'd probably have to wait for her to fill that limit, before she can't take anymore. But I assume the effects of whatever's in their blood at that time would transfer over to her, leading to her possibly getting ill, or picking up other effects from whatever they're carrying in them. Unless a secondary ability is being immune to that.

Certainly seems good, as well.

 

The question, however, is where she's getting the blood to make these passive materials? :\

Well, I assumed that she used her own blood for these things. So something like making a lockpick out of blood should be substantially easier and cost less in blood than something like a scythe.

The point is to come up with basic passive abilities that don't require blood, as I said earlier.  The power source would simply be the innate taint in her own blood.  One example that was already made earlier was being able to influence others through touch.
