Moe PS: For those of you who have come in late, there have been threads in the past that have discussed Larry and his possible emotional state when contemplating Blandine. This post does nothing to discredit such baseless gossip. :) Mars Ethereal Spirit Corporeal Forces: 3 Strength: 5 Agility: 7 Ethereal Forces: 3 Intelligence: 7 Precision: 5 Celestial Forces: 4 Will: 8 Perception: 8 Vessel: human male, Charisma +3 Skills: Acrobatics/2, Chemistry/1, Dodge/2, Emote/5, Fighting/3, Knowledge (Cosmology/1, Physics/1, Literature/2, US Space Program/3), Large Weapon/1 (Sword), Piloting/3 (Space Vehicles), Savoir-Faire/1, Seduction/1 Songs: Dreams (All/3), Motion (Corporeal/2, Ethereal/1, Celestial/3), Possession/6, Shields (All/1) Once upon a time, there was an ethereal named Ares. He didn't survive the Purity Crusade - and, frankly, it wasn't much of a loss. Ares was vain, boastful, crude, violent and had a certain streak of cowardice to him. The only one that missed him much was Aphrodite, mostly because he was pretty good in bed. Time passed. People have always looked up at the sky. It's only been in the last few centuries that they were able to improve on the naked eye. Naturally, they looked at the planets, especially that red one over there. And, of course, they began to dream. Mars owes his existence to those dreams. But the dreams and wishes that make him up are completely different than that of his predecessor. He is Barsoom. He is Doorsha. He is Northwest Smith. He is both John Carters. He is the tragically doomed race of the Martian Chronicles. He is Valentine Michael Smith and Podykane. The face that some have seen in the sands is his face. He knows every eddy and wave of the canals that never graced the Red Planet, and has sipped imaginary wine in Helium's nonexistent towers. Mars is Mars as modern humans have dreamed it. All of this was enough to create him, but it took the dreams of those who wished to go there in fact, rather than in fiction, to make him strong. The ethereal has watched humanity take its first stumbling steps out of the playpen, and cheered them on every step of the way. But, recently, it would seem that the steps have been faltering, and humanity seems to be wondering whether the playpen isn't so bad, after all. This distresses Mars - and not just because he will be weakened if humanity stops dreaming these particular types of dreams. The ethereal seems to be better disposed towards humans than almost any other of his kind, and wishes only the best for this mad, contradictory, wonderful species. They should go out there. That's where they belong. That's where they'll be safest. Mars cannot stand by and do nothing. Understand the above, and you'll understand why Olympus is a hotbed of controversy these days. Mars just walked in and started ... well, 'preaching' isn't precisely the right word, but it will do. Mars wants the Greek pantheon to stop languishing around interestingly and weeping for their lost glory, and instead get up and actually do something useful with their lives. They're supposed to be gods, right? Well, they should cease feeling sorry for themselves and _act_ like gods. There are people out there who desperately need inspiration and assistance. It's not like the Olympians had anything better to do with their time, anyway. Now, 'imitations' (if the word means anything in this context) of the Greek and Roman gods had appeared in the past, and not a few of them came in out of the cold raving about this or that. However, very few of them were as potent as Mars (really, he's just got enough Essence coming in to stay stable, but compared to the half starved Olympians, he's almost indecently healthy). The mere fact that he obviously was doing something right was enough to convince others to follow or ally themselves with him. Athena and Vulcan were the first to welcome him - ironically enough, in the case of the latter - and even Juno has warmed to Mars, no doubt out of sentiment. Frankly, this version of her son is an improvement over the last one. Of course, he's not universally beloved. Apollo can't stand him, for one (the feeling is mutual), and Bacchus thinks that following Mars will get the rest all killed posthaste. The more traditional spirits follow these two's lead (many Olympians are actively afraid of the modern world - and more importantly, Heaven and Hell). Of the others, well, Neptune does not care much and Venus is too busy trying to seduce her 'old' lover to care much for politics. Their neutrality has kept consensus from forming, but the situation isn't stable, however. If nothing else, Venus will finally get it through her head that Mars really could care less about reenacting old myths (frankly, Pallas Athene is more his kind of girl, but Vulcan seems to have that one sewn up, not that either of them have realized it yet). There may be war in Olympus soon - or at least a final break between the two unofficial leaders of the pantheon. Incidentally, Blandine knows all about this, and actually wants Mars to succeed in his quest to reinvigorate the Olympian pantheon. The Archangel of Dreams has never been happy with the rest of the Host's policy in the Marches, and this could be the catalyst for getting some real changes made. Blandine is so quiet that her peers forget how tenacious she can be - and how much power she can wield in Council, should she so choose. Considering that she might just get Lightning and the Wind on board on this one, in addition to her regular allies, that power may be even greater than usual. And, if worse comes to worse, there's always the Archangel of the Sword: when push comes to shove, he won't oppose her. Yes, Blandine knows. After all, even Archangels Dream. ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 03/04/01(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

They may need tweaking somehow, or their might be some way of abusing them that I've missed, so comment would be greatly appreciated. Both the rituals fall under both the Focus and Special categories. Teach Skill Focusing (Focus/1) This ritual allows the performer to mystically "instruct" the subject in how to make a focused effort (see p 20 of CPG) on one or more skills. In a similar fashion to the Symphonic Awakening ritual, the performer needs possess neither the Sorcery Attunement nor the Focus skill. However, without the Performer having knowledge of Focus the usual -1 penalty will be suffered. A reasonable number of Ethereals who know the Symphonic Awakening ritual also know this one and use it to reward those followers who do not posses that precious sixth Force. The ritual may only be performed on a willing human subject and while the knowledge of what to do is granted to the subject immediately some practice might be necessary before it can be used properly. A CD of 1 indicates that it will take the subject several weeks for them to be able to attempt a focused effort reliably while a CD 6 indicates that the subject has easily absorbed how to do the trick and may attempt it from the moment the ritual is complete. The performer of the ritual must choose which skill or skills the subject learns to make focused efforts with at the begin of the rituals performance. They may not change their mind part way through without aborting the ritual and causing the Essence used to be uselessly expended. Time : 1d6 hours. Essence Cost : 1 Essence per skill. Teach Focused Effort (Focus/2) This ritual allows the performer to mystically "instruct" the subject in how to make a focused effort (see p 20 of CPG) on any roll which they might make. In a similar fashion to the Symphonic Awakening ritual, the performer needs possess neither the Sorcery Attunement nor the Focus skill. However, without the Performer having knowledge of Focus the usual - -2 penalty will be suffered. This ritual is known by some Ethereals and fewer Celestials, but those who know tend to use it on their Soldiers to allow them to enhance themselves with a reduced chance of Disturbance being heard. The ritual may only be performed on a willing human subject and while the knowledge of what to do is granted to the subject immediately some practice might be necessary before it can be used properly. A CD of 1 indicates that it will take the subject several weeks for them to be able to attempt a focused effort reliably while a CD 6 indicates that the subject has easily absorbed how to do the trick and may attempt it from the moment the ritual is complete. Time : 3d6 hours. Essence Cost : Check digit in Essence plus 4 Essence. - - Richard Drysdale (rdd2@st-andrews.ac.uk) Balseraph of Fate, Vassal of Archives, soon to be Renegade... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2001 14:57:52 From: "Janet Anderson" Subject: IN> Moving silently What are the parameters of the skill "Move Silently?"

Ethereals aren't made from divine or infernal cults, even disguised ones. So, a pack of Balseraphs and a Calabite Emperor won't do much to inspire Ethereals. Well, Vader might -- a direct source of terrified nightmares for some, and he doesn't match up to anyone. Though admittedly, he's a great poster child for why Hell is good and Heaven is bad, from the Media's point of view. Remember, the heroic Jedi (Balseraphs all -- "these aren't the droids you're looking for" and Luke's entire time in Jabba's place leap immediately to mind) are fighting for freedom against the iron fist of order as imposed by Vader and the Emperor.... Oh, and Obi Wan's whole "the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view speech" is practically the Balseraphic Manifesto.... Never, eeeeeever assume any movie that's had three sequels made about it so far, two more in the works and inspired the worst Christmas Special of all time is considered a bad thing by the Media.
