Sorry to keep you guys waiting, I had some work to finish up.
Nevermind, it seems that some medical attention is required. And also, Redryhno; Aleister and Faunra have already finished their embrace by the time the second group arrives.
Why'd you do it? It kind of implies in Redryhno's post, that he asked either Faunra or Aleister. But, I suppose a show stealing moment is okay.
Also Hiei, do you mind putting up your post here? Just so we can see how you would of done things.
Yeah sorry, I took it as anyone willing to do it well do it. I'll read more into it next time. I just wanted to post because it was like 12 posts since my last and it seemed like a good opportunity to.

Apology accepted, I suppose. *irked*
You could of made a post, commenting on Aleister and Faunra's closeness? Just a suggestion mind you.
In any case, there is no point changing it, since Redryhno already responded.
Doesn't really matter. Like hiei said, you've been making a lot of posts with the whole relationship thing, might as well let someone else post something. Just because Damien asked the two to help him, doesn't mean that anyone else can't do it.
^What Nastok said, plus I kinda left it open to whoever could do it, A&F were just one of the first choices, simply because they've become the resident fixers.
Well, maybe not so much Aleister, he did suddenly disappear during the last level and didn't have that convincing of an excuse for being gone.

You're right, not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Evrant: Hiei, do you mind putting up your post here? Just so we can see how you would of done things.
Sorry, I no longer have the post. As soon as I saw the Caedis post, I deleted it - in retrospect I probably could have salvaged some of it but, well, C'est la vie.
Well, maybe not so much Aleister, he did suddenly disappear during the last level and didn't have that convincing of an excuse for being gone.
How was Aleister supposed to explain to the group "Hey guys, sorry for not being there when you took down Calgradni. The reason why I disappeared, was that I became a Reaper of souls."
How on earth could you explain it to people, without them thinking "he has gone mad"?

"So Aleister, let me get this straight. You never left the battle, you just became the embodiment of death itself...okay buddy, glad to know." Atticus said, slowly backing away from Aleister.

True, but from his perspective it seems like you ran from the fight. It makes sense he wouldn't trust you completely after that.
Downside of keeping the reaper power a secret I suppose. All you can really do is try to regain that lost trust - maybe help Damien with something, sometime during the storm? Or maybe the effort required to maintain wind shield you're going to put up will be enough to change his opinion.
Either way, it would make an interesting plot element

I have to admit Naut, that did make me chuckle a bit.

You make a good point Hiei. I do plan for the whole secret to be revealed at some point. Its just how to do it though?

*puts on thinking cap*
Well, you could set up a situation where Aleister is forced to reveal the secret or suffer some consequence (e.g. he needs the reaper power to accomplish a task, but cannot find a phone-booth to change in) Maybe he needs the power to maintain the wind shield, or someones life is in danger and the power can save them, etc.
hiei82: Maybe he needs the power to maintain the wind shield, or someones life is in danger and the power can save them, etc.
Could do a mixture of both. Say, some icicles are passing through the field, heading straight towards Faunra, and by using going reaper, he manages to deflect them away from her; but also having the bonus of keeping future icicles off, thanks to increased power. I could also work in that, when they are done, he collapses onto the ground (still conscious mind you), and begins to flicker between himself, and his reaper form.
Note to self: include the line "I feel a little burned out."

Could work, would require a bit of planning to set it up.
Side Note: I have a question, what exactly are your reaper powers anyway?
May have more later, for when we reach my level, which is going to be a reaper base, will help explain things.
As for some insight into my level, well... Its going to involve a rogue Reaper, who has gone mad, and taken over a reaper base, some years before the start of the RP. Reason why the rouge hasn't been dealt with in the past, is that he has been able to beat back assaults from loyal Reapers; which have depleted their numbers somewhat, hence them recruiting new numbers.
Was worried someone might include Stonefuse in the cellar, so I'm glad you didn't. In case anyone is wondering, he's outside, in the "rain", as he's too big to enter the cellar (and isn't hurt by the ice).

That's a lot of powers... Superman would call it a little much (jk)
So the basic power structure is that of enhancement - it increases the skills that a person already has (magic, endurance, perception, communication, etc) and adds a scythe summoning (what self-respecting grim reaper DOESN'T have a scythe?)
Hm... that's far less abusable than I was expecting (well, except teleportation - that's ALWAYS overpowered *starts laughing manically*)
The next question would be do you want to reveal the reaper thing to everyone or just some of the group?
P.S.: And now I have this image for the transformed state caught in my brain... jerkPHA+PGltZyBzcmM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cuY3JlYXRpdmV1bmN1dC5jb20vZ2FsbGVyeS0wOS9hcnQvaGd1djItaGFzZW8tM3JkLWZvcm0xLmpwZyIgYWx0PSJpbWFnZSIvPnByb3ZpbmcgSSBuZWVkIHRvIG5ldmVyIHBsYXkgLmhhY2sgYWdhaW4uLi5ldmVyLjwvcD4=

Well Hiei, I did already provide a description, along with a reference pick for what Aleister/Nathaniel looks like when he is a Reaper; you can find somewhere on this forum thread. As for the powers, these are just for starters, I do have more planned when we reach the level that I am creating. In terms of the reveal, I plan to either have it on this level, because of having to tap into the enhanced magic to boost the wind shield, or after the group defeats the boss of my level.
Heck, I even planned at one point, for Faunra being the first to know, then others finding out later. But that would be a little tricky.
What would people think would be best?
On an unrelated note, after we end the ice shard storm, could we possibly have it snowing again?

I know you gave a description, I just can't help but see that image. Stupid video-game...
I personally vote for whatever you want to do most - it's your character. Figure out what exactly you want to do, then we can set it up to occur.
Evrant: On an unrelated note, after we end the ice shard storm, could we possibly have it snowing again?
Sure, don't see why not. Oh and go with what Hiei suggested:

Okay then, regardless of where I choose to reveal; can we not have the rest of the group instantly get angry at him.
How could we implement it, if I chose to do it now with the wind shield? Just asking for people's opinions. Could be that he goes Reaper to save someone/s.

Sure, I don't see the group would get mad at him anyway. It'd just be another part to this strange group of travelers.
As for implementation...Well, I do have this cool picture saved that mainly involves Faunra and one of the dragon guys I was talking about earlier in the game thread. That seems like like a good place to fully reveal Aleister's reaper form.

Hmm, nothing right now. Though, I think the full reveal would be optimal near the climax of this level, around the...well, you'll find out.

Hey, I know I've been busy for the last few days, but the plan for the strom is still to have Etrius fly the heat unit into the center right?
Nevermind, it seems that some medical attention is required. And also, Redryhno; Aleister and Faunra have already finished their embrace by the time the second group arrives.
