So just to be clear it doesn't even have anything like Wet and Dry Season? {Rain, Snow, and other temperate climates occor at the whim of the weather. There exist some religions and "gods" that pay heed to this and otherwise cause this as well. But for the most part, the warmer it gets during the start and middle of the year is when monsoons might pick up, and adversely when it gets colder.} Edited by Oto, Aug 18 2013, 04:40 AM.

Sorry to bother with such a simple question, but how long do demons usually live? Keeper demons in particular. {Demons live until they are killed. The Demons of Southern Ein (Keeper Demons included) however, have more mortality than their Northern brothers. The older they get, the more it becomes noticeable in the way they act (off temporal perspective, raving lunatics, ect.) and in their capabilities (brittle, weak, ect.). This "age decay" starts to be seen in small doses after 100 years, becomes a problem at around 500, and leaves someone incapable of resuming the life they once had at 1000 years.} Edited by Oto, Aug 18 2013, 09:33 PM.

Ok, simple enough. This brings me to my next (and last) question. If my keeper demon devised a spell that stole someones life force and added that life force onto his own, would it offset the age decay? E.g. my character is in his 300's and is having some troubles, so he finds a nice young elven gentleman, and drains some of his life force (let's say 200 years worth) would this essentially make my demon a 100 year old demon again in terms of physical capabilities? {Life force is tantamount to Longeverty, not youth. Draining someone of their life force would do nothing for your Demon like it would more mortal races, but even they would still age; they would just be able to age more than they could before, they would not get younger. There is no skill or supernatural force (yet) that exists in the South to reduce aging, and the closest you have is in the North, where you can halt your aging.} I think you've just given me my characters motivation and goal in life....

1. Where does Zixis live? As a Zixis demon, was I birthed in this place? {Nowhere. He moves from place to place. He also always goes alone; numbers are bad for staying hidden. Though yes, you were birthed by him personally, but probably left you before you could walk.} 2. I want my demon to use telepathy and be unable to literally speak. He also uses this to control his swarms. Is this okay? {Your demon would not have been designed either way naturally; that is, you wouldn't have been born unable to speak or use telepathy. However, as a 200someyearold, you could have been rendered mute by some event and/or learned telepathy at some point. Bugs really aren't something telepathy works on, but familiar magic certainly exists.} 3. Say I came into contact with a Necromin Fragment. Would I be able to use its power to make myself into a literal embodiment of Famine? {Demons of the North do not suffer from the Age-Decay that those in the South do. The reason for this is because all Northern Demons are fueled my endless magic, that of their Soul Gems. Coming into contact with a Necromin Fragment permanantly cuts off the use and all possible relation to "magic" of any kind and replaces that with something else. If some kind of being needed magic to live, the Necromin Fragment (and what it replaces Magic with) would not save that person, and in fact kill them.} Edited by Oto, Aug 19 2013, 12:25 PM.

Okay, so, this is what I got: I dun know my daddy. :( I can have familiars that are swarms of locust and can be telepathic but not from the get go, just like I can't be mute from the get go. And Necromin Fragments are worth jack shit to me. {Yes} Edited by Oto, Aug 19 2013, 12:59 PM.

So...you know how i said that my last question was my last question? I lied. When a keeper demon emerges from their cocoon do they emerge as fully grown demons, or are they still babies who have just acquired their powers? {This is a perception. Southern Demons are not defined my absolute appearances like their northern counterparts. They simply look the way they do because that's what so happened to come out. But much like their Northern counterparts, they look the way they do from birth til death; later physical alterations like scarring, paintings, ect. not withstanding of course.} Edited by Oto, Aug 21 2013, 07:55 PM.

So, does this mean the progression from worm-thing to demon I made in my backstory for Ba'al needs to be redone? {As I have not looked at profiles, I know nothing of what you're talking about. All demons are born as such, and they are born looking like miniature versions of themselves, which, approximately 10 minutes later, they grow into their full forms that do not change from thereon because of natural growth. This is true for both North and South demons.} Edited by Oto, Aug 23 2013, 06:20 AM.

Naming conventions for Exarians? {Given Name and Family Name. Given Names can be whatever you might want them to be, and they can have meaning or not at all. Family Names are usually abstract in nature, they are never words that exist in language, and are often 2-3 syllables long; though this is not absolute.} Edited by Oto, Aug 23 2013, 11:31 PM.

Please explain more about the demon Zixis to me please. {I am unaware of what you're asking.} Also, since this was an actual thing, would be okay to assume that at some point some group of people worshiped Zixis as a god or something? {No. Demons were never worshiped as Gods in the North. They were the slavemasters of humanity until about a thousand years prior. Humans have 0 love for Demons.} Could I play that into my history if it could be a thing? {No.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 01:23 PM.

What kinds of clothing are worn by the various races of Ein (both North and South, preferably with distinctions between major cultures)? Sorry if this requires you to write paragraphs of information. {There isn't anything unique about clothing. People wear what they can.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 01:24 PM.

So... are you saying that I could have a character wearing blue jeans, a tee shirt along with a top hat and monocle, and it'd be fine? EDIT: Not that I'm going to try doing the above example. Just something off the top of my head. {The weaves to make such clothing exist. You'd stand out as odd, however.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 09:42 PM.

{Demons of the North do not suffer from the Age-Decay that those in the South do. The reason for this is because all Northern Demons are fueled my endless magic, that of their Soul Gems. Coming into contact with a Necromin Fragment permanantly cuts off the use and all possible relation to "magic" of any kind and replaces that with something else. If some kind of being needed magic to live, the Necromin Fragment (and what it replaces Magic with) would not save that person, and in fact kill them.} So basically a construct or demon could be walking around step on a rock that may or may not be glowing or something else not a rock(since we have no idea what they look like) and have a few years shaved off their life or worse, instantly die because of it. {Necromin Fragments are fixed to a specific point, on a small pedestal, and are otherwise impossible to move by any means period until it is grabbed by someone, at which point it, and the "altar" it is on, vanish. You can't accidentally come across one in such a manner.} Also, a necromin artifact replaces ones mana with a malefic force...what if said creature was bad at magic? Would the new power be stronger? {Of course. Magic Mastery (or having Magic at all, for that matter) is not a prerequisite to using a Necromin Fragment or it's resulting powers.} Also, can you tell us some of the powers a necromin artifact might give? Is it the same as mana except darker/more sinister, or is it something entirely different and allows you to use abilities not even resembling magic? {That second thing you did. This impossible with Magic that are possible with the Necromin Force include, but are not limited to; Soul Manipulation (Complete dominance of souls, including making a "soul" physical), Resurrection (Bringing back the dead without making them Undead), and Phase Shifting (Shifting realities over).} The necromin cult people, can I have a character join them? {If you can find them. Finding a Necromin Fragment by just looking for one (even if it is your goal to) is nigh impossible unless you specifically know where to look. Those already touched by the Necromin Force can sense out the locations of Fragments, and finding said fragments are often tests of loyalty and conviction needed to join in the first place.} Since they drain mana does it differently in each continent, in the south does it drain your intelligence or mental power, if so does it then replace it with something else or just restore it to where your mind draws from a new source? Does your mental power/intelligence stay the same but slowly becomes a darker/more evil source? Same for north except stamina. {It does not drain mana so much as it corrupts your mana pool. It replaces it with something else, but otherwise does not affect anything else. For those who can sense the latent force of magic/mana capacity (such spells exist and some may even just have that ability), those touched by the Necromin Force don't feel like they're not there so much as they feel like an emptiness of magic/mana. Like... if they can sense how strong a mage is, they would "sense" the weakness that comes off of the Necromin Priests, though it isn't actual weakness. But to answer your question more thoroughly; no, it doesn't affect your mental capacity or stamina (regardless of the kind of magic you use) and using Necromin Force abilities does not mentally strain or physically tire you like if you used mana. It's a free pool of negative stamina, in a way.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 09:51 PM.

New question about Necromin Fragments - if I am a Southern Tyrant Demon with no magical capabilities whatsoever who doesn't have to rely on magic to survive, does that mean Necromin Fragments will give me some badass power in addition to my already retarded physical stats? {Yes. However, no Demon "in their right mind" would ever do so. Demons are the only creatures on Ein known to have "Completely Open Fates" and "True Free Will", and using said Fragment would make that be lost as well as trading in their souls to the Dark God Necromin and his desire. Also, how many characters are we allowed to create? {You are allowed to play as two characters at any given time. Should you retire a character or a character die or other circumstances, you get one extra slot. This can be repeated infinitely. Just know that any character you have made that you then decide to not use (either because you retired them or because they died, ect.) you cannot use them ever again UNLESS they attained a "Destiny" that was then documented in the last entry of A Legendary Record.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 09:55 PM.

Can conventional sciencey things be made? Things like flashlights and internal combustion engines. {Yes and No. "No", because the presence and use of magic has eliminated the need for much conventional technology like electricity. There's only one way to get around this fact; which is "Yes", if you quite literally discover every single technology needed for something.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 10:01 PM.

Alright, in Exar, are High Courts as local as the government gets, or does the power dribble further down? If so, is there more or less corruption/back stabbing/political intrigue the farther down the stepladder you go? {The word of the High Courts is law in Exar. And there is much corruption in the High Courts, which the more involved you get the more you see. Yes.} EDIT: Do these High Courts function more as a judicial, a legislature, an exceutive system? Some combination thereof? And how powerful are these noble families? {They are simply a council that, when they convene together, shit happens dependent on what was decided in said gathering. These families are expected to be respected at all times, but in all honesty, they hold no "real" power until a meeting is called. There is a loophole, however, that some families have figured out that continuously give families power over others outside of these meetings (i.e. The Guards answer to us at all times, tresspasssing on our propertey without our knowledge for any reason is subject to punishment of our whims, ect.). However, no new laws are passed and no old laws are reclined until such a meeting happens.} Edited by Oto, Aug 25 2013, 10:51 PM.
