The catch-all page for plot inquiries, NPC threads, investigations, player plots, plot suggestions, and everything else under that banner. Frequency of replies to NPC thread requests will be subject to mod availability, but we will do our best.

INVESTIGATIONS

This is where you come to seek out conversations with NPCs, have your character investigate the setting, or otherwise declare that your character is doing something we should know about. We are open to doing unsolicited NPC call-out threads but reserve the right to cut them short/handwave if they don't seem to be going anywhere or to limit their scope if we are overburdened. NPCs are not always guaranteed to be up for prolonged conversation, but you can try. To attempt to contact an NPC please put their name in the subject line. For conversations of general plot importance, we may ask you to make an closed log.

For investigations, you can freely use this page to have your character seek out information about the characters, setting, or plot. We do ask that you keep investigations to 1-3 inquiries at most, and to have those inquiries be somewhat related. If you want to investigate things that are completely unrelated, please put them in a separate comment. Additionally, please be specific about the approach your character is taking to find out information; their method will greatly impact how well it goes for them.

PLAYER PLOTS

Aion Teleos is designed to be open to player plots, and would be glad to accomodate them! Let us know in a comment below that you/your character is doing and how you'd like to approach it as a player run event. Please put the words "Player Plot" in the subject line.

PLOT SUGGESTIONS

If you don't specifically want to run a plot yourself but have some vague ideas of an event type you think would scratch an itch for the game, please let us know. We don't guarantee we'll use these ideas, but we will keep them in mind when designing future events.

Xishen would definitely be open to talking to them about this, and would quickly be able to identify the cause of the new effects and explain it to them. We're going to keep this to a summary for now, unless something beyond just attunement exposition is called for. If they end up wanting to ask about anything more dramatic, let us know.

In the meantime, since they asked, Xishen will be willing to sit down with them for tea or something of the sort while she explains.

1) Xishen would explain it as their spirits becoming more in tune with the Kenoma. The more the accept its power into their life, the more it will seep into their souls and empower them. The same can happen with the Pleroma. It's a sign that they 'vibe' with the nature of their sect.

2) In setting, the attunement tiers aren't academic terms or anything. It's more that it's easy to identify where someone is on their journey with the Kenoma based on what powers have become available to them. Xishen will understand that their vision has attuned to the spiritual, which means they are moving deeper into the Kenoma. In terms of how far it goes, Xishen will say that an Aion at their maximum strength could bend reality itself to their will, but a power that great doesn't tend to last forever.

3) As mentioned, in-character Aions don't tend to refer to things with a tier system, but Xishen will say that she is "a bit further along than the two of them." Without being pushed, she won't go into much more detail than that.

4) As for what Misa and Ciel can perceive, they can generally tell if an Aion is higher than them, the same as them, or lower than them. They will see that Xishen has a higher attunement than them, but not much more than that.
