I suppose I’ll spirit bond too. No cost to it, and it might be beneficial. I suppose I’ll also encourage Esme to socialize with Abelia and Kevin especially. Considering I already know the two, getting to know them better may be a good idea. You never know when you’ll need a friend.

I wonder if I’ll actually want to take a corporeal form. Being a small harmless animal may be more of a downside than an upside. What happens to you if your corporeal form dies?

I don’t have any opinions on Ghastly Grim until I see the direction you take them. Hard to have a clear opinion until then.

Good if you can't focus on a single project long enough to make a full game. Or for making an entire large game, if you feel like it.

I just hope that Grim doesn't join The Red Team. Also, I think you need to switch the colors for spared and taken. Spared is benevolence, so it should be geeen, and taken is violence, so it should be red.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

Nonono, the “debt for lives spared” is “he was hired to kill someone for not killing someone”, while “debt for lives taken” is “he was hired to kill someone that’s been killing people”. Makes sense?

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

I do rather feel that 4 people running around commuting murders would be excessive. But they could also be taken in other ways. Debts for lives taken was interesting, for example.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense.

Vigil isn't on The Red Team, it's Grue, Aximodus, and the Poultrygeist.

A corporeal form generally increases your gameplay options and ability to directly influence the world, since you can move and act without using specific abilities.
It does make you less stealthy though, in the sense that non-corporeals can only be detected through magical means (unless they choose to act.)
If a corporeal form dies, you revert to a non-corporeal form.  You can regenerate later for a variable cost that scales based on your corporeal form's general size and power level.

I'm getting more of a revenant vibe.

Well I mean that is pretty much it, he doesn't just kill people, he only goes to stuff like violence and torment if they refuse to offer what was deemed an equal repayment(unless a persons life was deemed the only thing). And debt for lives spared was meant more like a more literal interpretation of "I owe you my life" but I suppose it can also refer to not killing people you where supposed to kill.

I'm getting more of a revenant vibe.
Kinda I suppose, granted he's not doing any vengeance for things done to himself really, unless of course you skimped out on paying for his services, but he did get hired to avenge people fairly often. Of course, a spirit doesn't have much use for money, but something else could be figured out.

So does that mean he's accepted?

A revenant is something that comes back from the dead, doesn't have anything to do with revenge.

Probably a few days, busy with other projects right now.

A revenant is something that comes back from the dead, doesn't have anything to do with revenge.
Revenants are a type of undead that comes back from the dead through sheer force of will, commonly because they want revenge on whoever killed them. While a corpse could come back from the dead as a zombie by magic, a revenant doesn't need magic and their desire makes them tougher and more enduring than most undeads.
If a revenant fulfills it's purpose though, it instantly dies because they lost their "anchor" and will to continue living.
Most revenants exist because of vengance and once they find their killer, they suck the blood out of their victim until it dies.

Some of this might be wrong, though. I didn't research a lot about revenants.

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

I have no idea where you got any of that. None of that is consistent with the actual stories or the source of the term revenant. Is this some D&D thing or something?
