Hey, just for checking! Are we going to be able to use other party members? Troy and Ichigo is our usual squad but I think that Chopper and Eto are also a good ideia when scavanging or completing certain jobs.

Maybe, if you go to meet another character and talk to them you might be able to ask them to help on a job, you do know where most of them live or hang out most of the time. Though they might ask for money if it's a job. You won't be able to round up a whole posse and just storm an abandoned bunker though, not yet anyway.

The way I remember it, Troy was the Emperor, at least prereboot. Gallows was the hanged man, yes, but tarot cards are not just about personality, they are about situations. As far as I can remember, Gallows only fit The Hanged Man so far as that he was almost hanged. In this reboot he's never been in danger of being hanged. At least, not as far as I can tell. The Gallows came from his father, so we don't really have any reason to think he was almost hanged.

Oh, I think it was more methaporical than literal, prereboot gallows wished to reset the world. As quote, unquote, the "The Hanged Man is the card of ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good."

Sounds about right. Is there one specifically for scholars? I kinda remember that falls under the Magician but is that the specific card, or is that just for learning magical knowledge?
>>
No. 126211 ID: d3602f

>>126202
I think the Magician represents great potential, and the capability of using that potential. It doesn't necessarily mean
potential in knowledge though, I think it could include great skill in using a specific weapon, or someone's expertise in sculpting. If you're incredibly skilled at something, or have the potential to become so, it falls under the Magician.

I think the most scholarly card might be the Hermit, which kind of represents, well, being alone, searching for knowledge, and giving that knowledge to others. I think the card is more related to wisdom and knowledge about the nature of people, not intelligence, or external knowledge about the world and it's functions. Think more psychiatrist who understands why people feel a certain way and how they can become at piece with it, rather than an engineer or biologist who work immutable facts.

The Hermit is more symbolic of inner knowledge and solitude. The closest Major Arcana card to seeking outside knowledge would be The Moon, which can symbolize revealing answers.

On your own, no. Only a site moderator can do that, as far as I know. If you get on the #tgchan IRC channel you could ask one on there to swap out the image for you.

It's also possible a mod will see your post here and replace the image without you even needing to contact them further, but being proactive would probably work better.

There's no need to police what other suggesters suggest, If Troy could or couldn't make it I would have pointed that out in the next update. If something's not possible then it most likely won't happen but everybody's free to suggest what they want (within reason). If one suggester is locked on a certain goal they'd like to accomplish they are free to continue to attempt to do it whether it will or will not happen. I'd like to keep hostility in the quest down as much as possible please.

That's kind of a hard question. I guess I get inspiration from whatever I'm reading or watching at the time. Delphi's super stretchiness came about after I began reading One Piece. Overall I think post apocalyptic fiction like Mad Max and Fallout were a source for the setting.

The basic concept behind Lady was someone who sacrificed her identity to cleanse her home of a ghost plague. Her previous self has been erased from the memories of everyone who knew her, including herself. I could probably flesh out her past a bit more, but I don't want to make something that would conflict with your setting.

As for current Lady, she has a few goals that she would be working towards. The most important goal is to hunt down whoever caused the plague. The second most important is to clean up any other messes that person made. The third is to buy back her identity.

If you're alright with changing her design a bit, she could do with a shovel and bowtie. Baron Samedi was one of the inspirations for her.

Let me know if you need anything else. I'm always lurking.

REGAN: Just like humans, demons have multiple forms of communication. The human languages however are different from our own; This difference allows certain demons to utilize a dormant ability known as Omnilingualism which allows the demon to understand the human language just by hearing it for a long enough time. Imps are one such demon who utilize this ability, however it takes them around 2-4 Months of being exposed to a human language to understand it fluently.

REGAN: Some demons think that the reason human and demon languages are so different is due to the fact that each respective language is so internalized into each respective species that the meaning and power behind their letters and words give off a different energy, but this is only a theory.

Hey I read this over the last few days, its quite good. My favourite character is Vol for some reason.

I have some minor questions which probably arent things you have to stay quiet on for spoilers' sake.

If demons can't return to the Aether, how do they know whats in the, material plane(did the real world get a specific name, i dont remember)? What do demons in general think of the material plane? How common are demons anyway?
>>

Glad you like the quest! Sorry it's been slow lately

Low demons like Vol would usually have no idea how to get back, but high demons do and High demons tend to talk about what they see, and the majority of lower demons in the Aether don't think about the material that much but high demons do think there is a lot to gain from it. Demons are fairly common in D3.

Roland is too feminine for him. But apparently Ada has a hot brother. I'm rooting for Hazel, but if things go a certain way Roland and Troy could end up double brother in laws.

It's a little annoying to come back to like 5+ replies to see most of them is arguing but I don't seem to have control over that. Don't discredit someone else's suggestions, unless they're seriously offensively dumb or bad. Suggesting that a character who has the most interest in demons may be related to the presence of demons somewhere they normally shouldn't be isn't too outlandish. If you think the demons naturally occur in the dream world you can always suggest asking that inquest. These arguments happen too often for no real reason, if they continue at this rate we'll have one argument per thread and I'd hate for that to happen.

On a different note. Sorry for the inactivity once again. I don't think I'm going to abandon Slight Return anytime soon, I'll try keep up with the updates as best as I can, If anybody want's to ask questions or have things to say I'm always happy to hear.

Part of me really wants to retcon certain parts of D3, but I'm worried it'll be messy or just plain unnecessary for the story since the things I want to change are inconsequential to what's happening in the narrative.

It's really just tiny stuff, Like wanting to change Troy's ability name from 「The Doors」to「Escape」. I guess that's really it since the other thing I want to change is basically just a character design thing, but I feel like it'd be so obvious people would wonder why it's there.

Personally I think "The Doors" makes more sense, seeing as we can use it to do a lot more than escape. Our fight against Johnny and Jitter saw us using it to shoot from unexpected angles and cut at snakes without getting near them.

Whichever you choose doesn't really matter that much to me though.

why does he not wear a horrible patchwork atrocity of different materials it would make his clothes usefull for doors
like if he was getting grappled he could portal stab /shoot his clothes and then bam fight over or if an atack is coming he could have it portal through him
idk though i woke up at like 1 am and had this idea and i dont remember if this would actually work

This could probably work, unfortunately Troy doesn't want to look like a fucking mess when he walks around. So he sacrifices functionality for looking good. Also I've had this idea for「The Doors」for like 5 years now and never thought of this once. I can't believe this wasn't the first place my mind went to.

It's also a really weird thought that people think of D3 at all in any form.

He could keep his appearance intact by using the same material for his pants as his coat. They're separate articles of clothing so they'd work as portal entry/exit.

i made a doodle of a couple of the ideas
(excuse the terrible pen sketch)
(idk how well the image will come out either as i havent done this with a phone image before)

the first would offer more areas to portal because the checkerboard pattern is on the full overcoat and the pants too uf the stripes are different but it looks tacky to me

the second one i thought he could wear underneat his original clothes instead of a shirt though it wouldnt protect his overclothes(the pants are just placeholder i just thought he would like cargo pants more than others)

but yeah thats my 2 cents

Johnathon Gregory Williams (Johnny-G)
Age: 26
Blood Type: B
Height: 5'11 (180cm)

Brief History: Johnny was born and raised on his grandparent's small cattle farm in Arizona. Disinterested in working as a farmer however, Johnny would leave home at the age of 15 in search of a life that suited him better much to the dismay but acceptance of his grandparents. Moving from place to place in search of adventure, Johnny soon grew tired of living as a lone wanderer and at the age of 19 returned to his grandparent's farm to find it burned to the ground with two charred corpses in it's wreckage. Devastated by this Johnny would continue to wander the wastelands aimlessly, until he met Channing. Still grieving from the loss of his only family and longing to belong somewhere, Johnny would join Channing at age 20 and has been working with him for 6 years.

Personality: Johnny-G is cocky and stubborn seeing any challenge presented to him as easy to over come no matter how hard it truly is. Johnny at times can be cruel and uncaring about people he isn't close to, but to those he is allies with he is incredibly loyal to.
Favorite Food: Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans
Likes: Whittling, bird watching, morning jogs, hammocks
Dislikes: Staying quiet, Fish (is allergic to shellfish)

Angel: Epanálipsi - Angel of Repetition
Ability: Johnny Guitar - When Johnny-G hits something with a punch or a kick, the force of the impact is "stored" inside the object. Whenever Johnny wills it, the accumulated energy can be released outside of the object in the form of his corresponding limb punching or kicking from inside the object.

Jitter
Age: 19
Blood Type: O
Height: 5'5 (165cm)

Brief History: Behind a New Mexico bar, a small toddler has been abandoned by neglectful parents. In the clouds of Heaven, an angel feels unwelcome among her kin for she holds domain over serpents, a creature seen as sinful to heavenly beings. When this angel fell from Heaven, it took residence in the child. Though angels see humans as beneath them this angel couldn't help but feel pity for the thing it was trapped in. Over the course of the toddlers life it would live off of stealing and mistrust of humanity, never speaking a word to anybody, only having inner dialogue with her angel. After years of silent solitude, the child would attempt to steal money from an odd man in a small Texas settlement. Though she would fail and be caught by him he would not be angered, a small part of him would be impressed that a kid almost got away with stealing from him, another part of him felt pity for such a small child was in such a situation. Either way the man took the child in, and would allow her protection in return for working under him. At that moment, at age 12, Jitter would come to work underneath Channing.

Personality: Jitter is quiet and withdrawn. She follows orders given to her to a tee without hesitation and always seems to complete whatever task is thrown her way. This however also means Jitter is very dependent on the orders of someone else, indecisive and lost on her own.
Favorite Food: Small Vermin (Raw)
Likes: Quiet, Dark spaces, The smell of cigarettes
Dislikes: Loud noises, Being touched by strangers, Alcohol

Angel: Anguis - Angel of Serpents
Ability: Union of the Snake - Jitter can turn parts of her body into snakes, either keeping them attached to her body or detaching them to attack on their own. Jitter can make all sorts of snakes, but not venomous ones.

Certain demons might be fooled, but not all of them. Some do understand how Aether energy and aura manipulation works so they won't all be fooled.

>>129109
The eye hierarchy ,or eyerarchy if you think you're funny, really only applies to demons sapient enough to care about it. Ilywurms are more animal like so they really don't have any class. Some higher demons do enjoy insulting demons like Imps or Goblins with the idea that more bestial demons are still worth more than them because they have more eyes. Also the eye scale is: 0-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-, So 2 eyes isn't really "middle class".

High demons certainly do live cushier lives not having to worry about being hunted by something stronger. They will,at certain times, leave the Aether to either deal with certain humans or hunt them. Some types of demons have an appetite for human flesh, and almost all high demons like eating humans more than anything else.

>>
No. 129168 ID: a451fc

>>129167
Your temperament dictates what areas your aura works best, not the only places it can work. Channeling energy to the eye to sense things is still possible but with the Blue temperament it's easier, and other applications of it are possible in conjunction with the rest of your aura colors. Each color of aura has a much more minor application to it, with Green for example it's possible to relieve minor fatigue or aches with the proper techniques, and with Red it helps with the building of muscle and physical toughness in small increments. Of course these are harder to do and take extra time to practice and some people tend to be weak in certain areas.

This training arc is giving me the impression that Pagans have a complex, in-depth system for developing their own unique magical powers, and everyone else just gets one power depending on the circumstances.

Personally, I don't think this is a good idea. It's very interesting to have a magic system that lets us try and deduce how someone's abilities work and think up imaginative ways to counter them, and also lets us develop new abilities of our own, but I don't think it should be something that only one faction has. It just seems unbalanced that way.

I noticed that something like this happeend with the original version of the quest, with Gallows being able to summon a variety of demons and also learning other spells he could cast using his blood, while other magic users were given one specific ability that went along certain themes. It looked like you were moving away from this in the reboot, with the whole "making a pact with a demon to share their powers" thing which gave Pagans more specific powers, but now there's this whole system with Aetherial auras and temperament and everything which is totally different from how things worked before. It's all fun and interesting to have a system like that for magic fights, but I don't think it should be something that only Pagans have.

Speaking of which, I also don't like the idea that sharing Vol's powers was "doing it wrong". We've already spent a while seeing Roland's magic slowly develop that way, and the way we're basically starting over makes that seem kind of pointless. Not entirely, but somewhat.

Thank you for voicing your criticism on how Pagan magic was handled.

I've been thinking about the same thing you've stated with Pagans having too many abilities at once, I intended for Pagans to use every part of their Temperament in tandem to make one overall ability. Wick's main thing is Get Wicked and Daisy has Daisy Chain and even though they have multiple abilities the best way for them to be used effectively is if they're all being used together to essentially make one specific power. I did it because I was worried about making Pagan magic and Saint magic too similar, so I decided to go with Pagans needing to work with their aura and getting a small variety of more limited abilities they'd have to learn to make into a full power. Sorry if I didn't handle it well, but at this point I can't really change it too much. You're also right about the Vol situation, poorly handled.

I do think it's a little unfair to say that only one faction get's this when I haven't introduced Voodoo or Church magic in full yet, but you have made me think about how I'll handle the magic of Voodoo Users and The Church. Sorry if there were issues you had I didn't understand well. Thank you for telling me what you thought.

I personally think your magic systems make sense, but I take issue with the saints you've introduced so far.

First off power level. It seems obvious that their powers should be the most limited in scope of all the types, but from what we've seen, it's not particularly powerful either.
From a purely meta perspective options are equivalent to power. To balance a magic system with vastly fewer options than another, the options it does have should be vastly more potent.

There's also some potential here that isn't being tapped.
I feel like saint's relationships with their angels should play a larger role. I mean one day you suddenly have a magical second personality chilling inside you. It could potentially do a ton of different things. Talk, argue, banter, berate, vie for control, cause hallucinations, alter perceptions in real time, Manifest itself (To just you or perhaps near you for all to see.), Play with your emotions, mess with your dreams, take over your body and when you go to sleep causing you to effectively live a second life, comment snarkily on things you do, obtrusively share it's opinions on the company you keep, make you suddenly say mean or embarrassing things to people, force you to inadvertently get into fights, take control of a single body part when your distracted, use it's magic when you aren't expecting it for whatever reason. The list goes on.

Feel like the two need to be more in tune for it to work, rather than earning favors. Most people don't want to die, and angels are probably no different, so the only reasons I can think of that an angel wouldn't give all their power to their Saint would be
1. They hate their Saint enough that they would keep their power from them even if it's a danger to themselves
Or 2. They can't actively increase their Saint's power. I do feel like it might be interesting to make some Saints capable of hijacking angels without relating to the angel if they have enough willpower. You know, to justify a Saint being a terrible person without an Angel needing to be. Not to say there aren't angels who are psychotic assholes.

That last part with the arms, anyone have any ideas about that? Does Channing have some kind of corpse manipulating angel?
>>
No. 129402 ID: 8d4593

>>129392
Maybe, but that could be some Voodoo shit. In the old D3 Voodoo powers were typically all grim and wacky. Controlling corpses or just the limbs thereof would be thematically correct for it. If Voodoo in Slight Return maintains it's Deal-With-The-Devil aesthetic in regards to Loa as well, that would also fit what we know about Channing's personality.

Well, I don't really have a problem with the number of different things Roland could do with his aura. Like I said, that's an interesting system and could allow for a lot of fun and creative decision-making. My main issue was just that it was something only a specific subset of the world's "magic users" could actually work with. I can tell you're going for a Hunter X Hunter-style "spirit energy" system where fighters can use it to enhance their strength and speed and do a variety of other simple things in addition to their own special power, and I like that idea but I think it would be better if magic users in general could do it, or something like it.

On that note, it doesn't seem all that in-theme for Pagans. Their main concept seems to be dealing with demons and relating to them, and a system based on harnessing their own personal energy and developing techniques around it doesn't reflect that very closely. There was that legend about all of their energy coming from Athmoor, but still.

>I did it because I was worried about making Pagan magic and Saint magic too similar
I didn't see it that way beforehand, and I don't think it was a problem. All of the magic users we've seen gained their powers from spirits in various ways, but they all have their own different relationships with spirits nonetheless.

>Sorry if I didn't handle it well, but at this point I can't really change it too much. You're also right about the Vol situation, poorly handled.
Well, we've really only heard Flint's opinion on the matter. He prefers to train people a certain way, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the only "right" way to use demon magic, or that the legends we've heard are the whole truth. Other Pagans might see things differently.
>>
No. 129429 ID: eeb7d9

>>129428
I agree, and i think you still have time to make your power/abilities systems more flexible if you so desire. Pagans had a lot of ways to fight in the original D3, you can still do that.
Vol only knew some runes, but other demons might know more, and depending of the phisical and mental capability of the pagan, they can use more runes simultainiusly and even combine them, just like thier aura. Or the more powerful is the demon or the pagan, their abilities can grow further.
I don't know, i'm just throwing ideas.

In theory, anyone could have access to Pagan magic, but I wouldn't be surprised if angels use its energy as their source as well.

Actually, I've been getting into this quest because I find Pagan magic, and the magic systems in general, be a really good metaphor for how to cope in a hard world. Pagan magic is about self-improvement and independence, and Pagans tend to compete with each other to improve. Saint magic is about obedience to a higher power, and the Church, or at least the Channing gang, functions by recruiting vulnerable people into their ranks.

>>129429
I was thinking about what would happen if multiple angels were to host in the same Saint.
It's literally having lightning to strike multiple times in the same spot, but having someone act like an unhinged Quest protag was amusing to think about.
>>
No. 129442 ID: eeb7d9

>>129433
That is is a interesting way of seeing magic in the Quest. I didn't thought about it that way.

And the idea of having rare cases of multiple angels in one body sounds chaotic but interesting, like having multiple demonic runes. It could come with multiple pros and cons, making the system fair but powerful.

Actually, I see how it could have been an issue in the original D3Quest, where Gallows had an increasingly long list of demons which he could summon with the right ingredients, as well as several different spells he could cast at will. Having that many powers at once isn't necessarily bad, but it didn't seem to fit the kind of story the author was going for; it left Gallows without a "special technique" of his own. I noticed that we were already drifting away from that as the quest went on, with him trading away his ability to summon some demons in order to power up his others, and all the other Pagans we saw tended to specialize in much narrower and more distinctive areas.

The current system is a good one. It also lets an aura user do a lot of different things, but they're all based on certain basic principles so it's still about using powers creatively, and since there's a system for developing techniques we can figure out how an opponent's skills work and plan around them.

Now that I look back, this arc with Roland learning to use his aura reminds me of that scene in the original quest where Roland was learning to use the magic that Ada's people used. It had the same concepts of harnessing his inner power and using color to visualize it, though we didn't progress much farther than that. Pagan magic seemed to be themed more around organic and monstrous creatures, like the way we cast spells by using our blood, and the way that demons tended to be oddly-shaped physical beings like the tentacles that Roland liked to summon or the demon that Gwyn uses as an arm. If I were looking for ways to distinguish it from other types of magic, I'd do something to emphasize that.

Okay so, school has been a part of the lack of updates but that's not really all of it. I'm not swamped with work or anything, the big issue is more internal. A general lack of energy due to personal problems, and the fact that I can never stick with one idea for long, an issue that's been getting worse. I still plan on trying to continue D3 but it might be a bit slow, I'm also interested in doing other quests, maybe smaller, when I feel like it. Maybe doing other ones will help with my motivation.
