[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8320612, member: 6796468"] [USER=52734]@Stormonu[/USER] I disagree with the idea of erasing the Good/Evil nature of Dragons and Avangions. Dragons and Defilers -are- evil. They're destroying the world and all the things in it for their own increased power. I could see arguing for a change in Lalali-Puy's story where she's trying to become better instead of trying to become the Oba for real with everyone thinking she's a better person that she is. But defilers cannot become Avangions. You have to preserve the whole way up the path to becoming an Avangion... Which would make the story -heartbreakingly- good. Lalali-Puy, the person who hunted Aarakocra almost to extinction, learns the error of her ways and seeks redemption. But that redemption, while attainable, has limits. She will never become an Avangion, even as she strives to be a better person than she was. Because some lines, once crossed, are just -crossed-. You can't try to commit genocide and then be truly rewarded by the forces of Good for turning away from what you did... Very poetic and cool. Redemption without Reward. Oh, I was just throwing them out as formal in-canon names, yeah. Something the people in the world can use instead of "Psychoportation" that doesn't try to invent a new word. As for the class? Just stick with Psion or Psionicist and then have the subclasses be Ways, I guess? As to "Way of the Flesh"... it sounds a bit on the graphic side. >.> [/QUOTE]
