powers; a permissions post.

[daughterinexile]

Given the pull point from the Lucifer universe (granting her the name Lightbringer) and her nature as a demon, Mazikeen has several powers that require permissions in order to work. Please let me know if you are willing to allow permission for her to be able to:

Go for whatever! Lust and Riful are probably the only ones who would be significant enough to care about, though. I feel like Riful's energy should be noticeable from a distance, because at the moment she's not suppressing it.

[daughterinexile]

Can you explain to me more specifically the nature of the homunculi (i think i've asked you this before but for the life of me i can't find the comment anymore) and Riful's powers? Like is the homunculi a soul within an unnatural body? The embodiment of a concept given life?

[pullingyourlegs]

lol I tl;dred about the differences on your intro post iirc. Basically, homunculi in the manga are Father's traits given life, but they're not actually personified concepts in general, per se. By extracting his sins from his body, he supposedly becomes flawless. I don't really dwell on the sin thing so much--they have characteristics based on what sin they are, but in Lust's case I'd say it's really not a big part of her character. Probably because Father is a freaky test tube baby and he didn't want to bone anyone in the first place.

The thing that Mazikeen might pick up on more is the fact that there are thousands on thousands of tortured, screaming human souls inside her. :/ Each homunculus is built around a Philosopher's stone, and each Philospher's stone is made out of thousands of dead people. Envy is the best example of this, because his real form is basically a physical representation of his soul and it is noooottt pretty. Canonically, Ling Yao and his ninja dudes can detect this--I think there's one point at which Ran Fan,

[pullingyourlegs]

OH AND RIFUL wow I am sharp today. Riful doesn't have any spiritual resonance--she's essentially an extremely powerful monster. She was human at some point in time, so that might show up, but it was very long ago. Other than the youki-sensing, she doesn't actually have powers so much as she's a huge nightmare fuel monster and has all the strength, speed, and invulnerability that implies. She isn't easy to kill when she's in her "human" form; in canon, she basically gets sliced right down the middle of her skull and it doesn't do anything to her, and this... thing doesn't hurt her at all either. Whatever her vulnerable parts are, she hasn't revealed them yet. She's really fucking huge in her true body, but despite her size she's canonically able to move very fast, and get herself out of sight in a split second. Basically, she runs on those tentacle things that look like a giant skirt coming out from her waist, but she also uses them to impale people and grab things.

Raven = Half-demon girl who is open for you to do whatever you need to with.

[daughterinexile]

is there any canon background about raven's lineage as far as the demon part of her? like who specifically the demon was or what KIND of demon he was?

tl;dr ahoy

[darkprophecies]

Trigon was an other-dimensional demon, the result of the mating of a female member of a mystic sect and their god. Dark energies that floated through the dimensions were the expunged evil natures of Azarath. Trigon became the personification of these dreadfully evil energies

I LIKE TL;DRs.

[daughterinexile]

Iiiiiiiiinteresting.

And any indication canonly as to just HOW powerful Raven is/can be potentially?

[hellraiser02]

I-No definitely gives off an aura of being something but even in canon, we don't know what. Just that she's different, and it' a dark aura. The rest are all normal 9.9 though Duo has this whole 'lingering death' thing going on around him so idk if she'd pick up on that, it's only barely implied but it could be something Newtype-y, who knows. He believes himself cursed and he's alll about Hell, so.

Iiiii'm not sure if Duo's cloaking power would be included in b? but if so, then yes, he's invisible, inaudible and scentless by choice. Sabrina has psychic powers and can hypnotize etc. so I'm sure she can break through that.

I-No, is a strange case. Layla can sense her ripples in space-time, but they're not actually illusions, they're actual changes to reality, so they'd apply to c instead. Same goes for Sabrina and her creeptastic psychic territory extending all over her Gym.

[daughterinexile]

Couple follow ups. Do you know exactly the specifics as to how Duo's cloaking powers work? Is it biological (the way Teddy can shapeshift) or magical or something else? Also -- do you know canonly if he is actually cursed?

Also does Sabrina or I-No take any measures to try to conceal or cloak their activities?

alt account \o\

[solo_duo]

Thaaat's actually something I've been thinking about. I'd like to think it's biological, but it's never been specified in-game/oocly. That's what I'd go with though, if I had to, so yeah.
Canonly they don't really say, he just thinks he is. He's probably not but he does probably give off a... I dunno. 'death follows him' sort of feel, but I dunno, it's probably more psychological than magical, considering Gundam is pretty straight forwardly sci-fi, not fantasy.

I-No does when she's trying to mess around with or mislead someone which will be noted if she is, and Sabrina doesn't bother.

h-he's so chibi :O

[daughterinexile]

okay, SWEET. given your rundown, then, I think Duo is totally exempt from really blipping on Mazi's radar at all and she WOULDN'T be able to see through his cloaking, since it's less manipulation and more just the natural order of things for him.

I-No and Sabrina, I think she'll probably get in general terms and perhaps more specifically when they do something that is a little more actively trying to make something happen. If that works for you!

HI CONFUSING DEMON GIRL, have a derpy angel. Do whatever you'd like.

And, wait- she appears, and all of Team Heaven/Team Hell suddenly has a kind of "oh what was that" headache? In plainest terms, or something.

[daughterinexile]

Clarification question about Aziraphale -- is he any particular type of angel (like, I guess "class" would be the right term? throne vs. principality, etc) And he's the one who was set out to protect the Garden of Eden, correct?

For Teams Heaven and Hell, I would imagine the recognition would be much more specific than that. They would be able to tell (if you'd like them to) that one of the most powerful heavenly creatures has entered the universe not once but twice (which should technically be impossible). Whether or not Aziraphale recognizes it to be Lucifer's power (or mistake it for the archangel Michael's -- not sure how heavenly heirarchies work in your universe), is up to you.

...was that helpful? OR STILL TL;DR (which it probably was;;)

[not_occult]

Principality. That one. And yes, he's the one from Eden.

Oh okay that's helpful yes. ♥ I'll have to think about the Lucifer/Michael thing, but either way there will be dithering. Thank you, bb.

[daughterinexile]

I knew dithering would be somewhere on the agenda. Oh Aziraphale, you never dissapoint~ ♥

[phaseback]

idec knock yourself out my love

[daughterinexile]
