[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9231011, member: 87792"] This. Just because [I]we[/I] can pretty easily understand the Vorlons and Shadows doesn't mean that [I]the characters[/I] can - and certainly doesn't mean the in-setting characters could until very late in the series. [INDENT][B][I]Your patron is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come from the Far Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the elder gods known only in legends. Its motives are incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets it holds. The Great Old One might be unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to draw your magic from it.[/I][/B][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][B][I]Entities of this type include Ghaunadar, called That Which Lurks; Tharizdun, the Chained God; Dendar, the Night Serpent; Zargon, the Returner; Great Cthulhu; and other unfathomable beings.[/I][/B][/INDENT] One thing you can say about Vorlons and Shadows alike, however, is that they aren't indifferent. And now I'm confused where "porcine" entered this discussion. This is true. But it means that, depending how far the impersonation goes, [I]Warlocks[/I] based on them can be GOOlocks, Celestial locks, or Fiendish locks. Or possibly something else. I would also say that it is 100% against the Babylon 5 themes to make Shadow warlocks psychic. [/QUOTE]
