Arzaki Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I've coughed up blood before, so I can confirm it's a metallic-y iron taste. Not pleasant, believe me. It was a big glob, too.... I'll shut up now. I got Monster Hunter World on PS4, add me at bmrjw2 if you want Also I play FFXIV, my main is Anastasia Willow on Exodus but I've got characters on every NA datacenter.

Keeper of Kraata Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Playing through The Force Unleashed. Must... suppress... urge to make Soulsword/Mindarm Menti... So, question: Soulswords. Physical properties. To the wielder, they are solid but weightless, if I am correct. I recall somewhere I heard that they behave like a lightsaber somewhat, and that 'eventually' they will burn through. So: Soulsword crosses blades with a steel/normal crystal weapon. Is it sliced through like a lightsaber, or is the material sturdy enough to resist being damaged, as long as contact is short? As an extension of the above, what happens when faced with nigh-unbreakable protosteel? Normal resist (like cortosis alloy, to keep up the Star Wars example), will is start to heat up but otherwise resist damage... or just plain be cut? The times, they are a-changing...

Normal resist (like cortosis alloy, to keep up the Star Wars example), will is start to heat up but otherwise resist damage... or just plain be cut? Soulswords are solid but weightless, correct. Given enough time and wielder-supplied will, a Soulsword can burn-cut through just about anything, especially if the shape of the Soulsword in question has a sharp edge that focuses its power. I imagine that most metal weapons wouldn't be able to survive more than a few combat hits - brief, but forceful - from a Soulsword blade in one spot without snapping, and any Soulsword blow would likely warp the metal to some degree, especially once it'd been given time to cool. Protosteel would fare markedly better, but it's still susceptible to melting like other metals, and so would ultimately lose out to a persistent Soulsword's weapon. Varieties of crystal that the Menti use in armor, weapons, and other structures, having obscenely high melting points, are actually some of the most effective materials for resisting Soulswords. This is part of the reason Dasakan society developed crystal armor, weapons, and other structures. Few Menti are trained to create and maintain Soulswords hot enough to even affect crystal; those that do are usually craftswomen or smiths who work with crystal, for whom heat and precision are much more important factors in their Soulsword projections than, say, endurance and speed, which are much more important to warrior Soulsword practitioners. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeper of Kraata Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Ah, thank you. More formidable, but less intimidating than I would have thought. Another Dasaka question, more a worldbuilding one. Due to the lack of metal, I take it compasses are incredibly rare and treasured? Or is there some variety of magnetic crystal? Also: Is there some kind of equivalent to a 'ronin' in Dasaka culture? Or is Taajar the closest I'm going to get? Edited February 10, 2015 by Keeper of Kraata The times, they are a-changing...

Also: Is there some kind of equivalent to a 'ronin' in Dasaka culture? Or is Taajar the closest I'm going to get? The Dasaka navigate by celestial bodies and maps. I don't think compasses are really a thing for them. The closest thing to Ronin on Kentoku are Datsue who decide to go rogue. Most Datsue live pretty much outside the caste system anyway, so they can do (almost) whatever they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWhenua Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That isn't to say, however, that one cannot go about creating a roninesque character, say someone who left their clan for whatever severe reason or a menti sworn to a clan who recently went extinct or to a toroshu who fell from grace. Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't ever happen, just keep in mind that in the heavily structured and organized society that is Kentoku, such occasions would be exceedingly rare exceptions of the norm rather than the norm itself.

Ghosthands Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 In fact, I believe that has been done before. If I remember correctly, there was at least one 'clanless' character when the Kentoku topic began. I think the only thing that really needs to be said about it is this: if your character has no clan, or eschews the caste system (assuming they're not a Datsue), or otherwise doesn't fit into the Empire's way of doing things, then they will generally be treated with no more respect than a Saihoko—less, in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuRon the champion Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Okay, annoucncement time. College is coming up fast for me. As much as I'd hate to admit it, my time here is coming to a close. I intend to become a writer and while I know my best work isn't exemplified here, I've begun to heavily concentrate on what I want to for a career. As such, going into college, I will be double-majoring... Which means I won't have the spare time that I've so enjoyed these past couple of years. Now, I'm not leaving today. I want to finish Jiyu's story. As well as wrap up the stories of the other characters I have in games other than the BZPRPG. However, there's a deal of characters that I have, that I want to have good stories, and don't want to kill, so... I'll be giving my (living) characters away. Of course, I'm not giving away Jiyu, or Seigyo, but everyone else I'm giving up. So if you want one of them, just shoot me a PM, and we can work out a plan. Yes. 2 BZPRPG Characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
