kossai: masculine kossai hold up yellow magic heart (feminine)
[personal profile] kossai
really dig into merits and flaws system now .
wish could have echoes . in real life .
this would be so inconvenient ! but many faerie things inconvenient anyway . and euphoria is great reward .

echoes vary from mild to extreme levels , and detail various ways in which changeling hold to superstition and folklore . in order from mild effects to extreme , all of which cumulative :
  • anyone who throw bread crumbs or salt over shoulder is free from effects of changeling magic
  • anyone with knowledge of full name can command 3 tasks from changeling - however , changeling only need carry out to letter , not to spirit
  • can not enter home without either carry out favour for owner of home , or invitation - from anyone , not necessarily owner .
  • cold iron and religious symbols will bar entry even if gain invitation .
  • any mortal who wear religious symbols is immune to changeling magic , and even physical attacks .
  • cold iron and sound of church bells will physically pain changeling .
  • any mortal with four leaf clover is immune to changeling magic .
  • that in mind , four leaf clover also grant changeling luck for as long as all leaves intact . must personally pick , and then wear on person .
  • any mortal who wear coat inside out is invisible to changeling .
  • unable to cross running water without bridge .
  • religious symbols actively repel changeling .
  • to stand under shadow of cross will chimerically hurt changeling .
  • any holy ground will chimerically hurt changeling .
  • mushrooms will bloom in formation of faerie ring , anywhere that changeling is present - even indoors .
  • mortals will clearly remember existence and magic , where mists usually hide away .
  • there is no longer distinction of chimera or physical in regards to this changeling . chimerical weapons of changeling can hurt mortals physically , but , chimerical creatures can also physically injure changeling .
  • people will feel compulsion to follow in daze upon request , blissfully ignorant to danger .
  • magic is easier to cast , but as before , will have no effect on anyone who wear cold iron or religious symbols .
  • require willpower to enter holy ground , and injury is now physical .
this is huge set of effects , clearly , most of which bring some kind of inconvenience . but ... euphoria ? euphoria please ? :P

genuinely consider might give kossai character progressive echoes - start as mild in childhood , to become more extreme with age . not exactly within balance of game , but whatever . rule book say do whatever with rules anyway !

kossai is unusual in that , well , real kossai always aware of nature ... did not go through single period of realisation like chrysalis and saining , even if go through periods of deny , hide , then crack back open .
in that sense , think would be fair to play game kossai with tenuous relationship to mists , never fully conceal .
