New character inquiry - minnie. - 02-18-2019
I just created a bio for a future character I plan on roleplaying once I can afford Mental Manipulation & Communication. His info can be found here
I'm still quite new to this website, so I was wondering if anything in his bio breaks the forum rules? More specifically, is it ok for him to make and sell magical motifs? If not, I will gladly change it since I haven't begun roleplaying him yet. Thank you in advance!

everything seems good as i look it over!
what exactly do you mean by magical motifs? him creating + selling motifs in general are fine, but i'm unsure about the specifications on the "magical" part

Hi, and thank you for replying! Sorry for being so vague. I haven't entirely worked it out yet, but I was thinking about having him sell cursed antique clocks that slowly rob a character of their sense of self (with their consent, of course). By doing this, he would accumulate a following of brain washed puppets that silently do his bidding, almost like a cult. After having just read through the rules and regulations, however, I'm assuming that this isn't allowed. If I'm correct, then I'll go ahead and change this.

no problem! it seems like a neat character idea.
this exact thing probably would not be able to be accomplished, but i think you could get a pretty similar effect with mental manipulation (which you already plan on buying). instead of the clocks being "cursed" it could actually just be him slowly using his mental manipulation on the characters, resulting in the same outcome (he could still say/believe the clocks are magic, they just technically wouldn't be). the only reason the clocks can't be the ones accomplishing this is because you can't transfer powers to items, if that makes sense.

Ok, that makes perfect sense to me. I like the idea of him somehow deceiving his victims into buying into his lies, so I'll definitely incorporate that somehow. Thank you for the help!
