Oops...I just checked my notes, it's called Topaz of Truth. It's purpose in turning Tanglaw into its true form is to instruct Kinang on how to do so. Once Kinang gets the instructions, she'll retain it forever, no memory thing would erase it from her. Once Tanglaw is transformed to its true form, this cannot be reversed, even by time and space.
Response 1: Then the "Topaz of Truth" is prophecy that its true owner(s) will trigger its powers (i.e. Tanglaw & Kinang). I think the best option is to wait and let Tanglaw progress under whatever humanity he and Kinang have, and by that, I mean go throughout an adventure before they grasp its power (you know, the Master Sword and Triforce and such).
However, the topaz of truth does have other powers that only Kinang and Tanglaw can interpret. It is an infinite source of knowledge. Thing is, it speaks in riddles most of the time or waits for the right time before divulging information.
Response 2: Sounds like a life-lesson giver. I advise a villain of some variety that has some sort of opposing stone, like the
"Lapis of Lies". In fact, adding in the infamous
Penanggalan/Mananangall (a native Philippine vampire demon) as an enemy would add greatly to the diverse range of characters in 2100 as part of the 144 (in the villain-side). When something is of great power, you've got to have some sort of evil force trying to obtain it, or rather, destroy the ones who hold it, right?
I think the most that stealing the Topaz would do is prolong Kinang and Tanglaw with their destinies. But the topaz always finds itself to its rightful owners (Tanglaw and Kinang). It's so smart that it can never be tricked to believe that someone else is its owner.
Response 3: If that's the situation, then Tim keeping it as a "precious gem" and merely nothing more would
just suit his tastes. I think the more dangerous of enemies would try to destroy the gem or insert-prolong-scenario-here.
You can always just use the spoiler tags.
Fine...
When a Chapter resonates with his/her constellation (in which, a bolt of light strikes said-Chapter and releases the Avatar), that Constellation is released for a short-while, permitting "harmonization" with time/space in another dimension, or when "bonding" or "synchronizing" with a fellow Chapter to share spiritual energy (or in another case, a fusion between two constellations into one). An example would be: Karoku and Maline both resonate their Constellations and both their spirits (not their bodies) combine to create an even stronger entity (with titles such as "The Hunting Dragons", being a combination between "The Dragon" & "The Hunting Dogs"). After the harmonization is complete (and destroys whatever they had intended from the start), the constellations return to their hosts perfectly. In that time-frame however, they are vulnerable to non-Chapters, however, it doesn't mean they are weak against non-Chapters automatically (but given that another enemy could sneak-up behind them or is powerful enough, they can be done for). Sometimes, when the process is intervened, a short-delay will take place where the Avatar cannot return to its host's body yet.Hmmm....
1. How large is Drocon rule? My current understanding is that it's worldwide. And how does it effect the nations of the world and their sovereignty? (Think I'm interested in the Drocon by now?
)
Answer 1: I'm going to call them Raptors, so work with me here ok? Since they represent the first life-forms on Earth in this story, they are named by the Earthlings as "Raptors" as a reference to the dinosaurs who were tactical hunters themselves; a nick-name if you will. The Raptors are as large in numbers as in the Earthlings, but they're dying off because of an eye disease that blinds them and preventing use of the "Basilisk Eye" (refer to Fince Recleoura in the Master-List), so their numbers are decreasing severely (minus the stronger ones who have will over it, like Violet, Fince, and Kensaku). Several nations don't care much about the invasion, feeling arrogant enough that they could handle the problem themselves in a short-time span. Given 90% of the world are at least immortal beings, this is
almost true, but immortality offers ONLY infinite-life, not infinite-invulnerability. So while they're immune to aging, they're prone to weaknesses, and this includes Vampires (being the most dangerous of Earth-dwelling immortals). The most the Drocons are doing are trying to capture all Chapters, and for the most part, it's a difficult task due to the short number of them making them hard to find.
2. With the use of Luigio and Valmeera, will other continents/islands of myth and folklore such as Atlantis and Mu come into play?
Answer 2: Before that can come into fruition, I should work more on whether or not a character will have some sort of significant role in those sacred places. Otherwise, adding them is unnecessary. Unless someone important in 2100 lives there, they would just be cliché-locations.
3. In the year 2100, what are some of the critical events that have taken place in their history?
Answer 3: 2100 is more "critical" itself. All of the events have happened previously. The year 2100 is believed to be the year where the second-coming of the Messiah is put into play as told by the residents (the ones that are theist that is). There is no particular existant religion today that supports this belief, and is hereby original thereof (a Messiah that represents every being and would be the savior of them all). Apparently, there is no such thing, and to correct that awaited event, it's characters like Karoku, Charles, Tim, etc., that have THE significant roles that will change history forever. I will provide the "critical events" from before in a short spoiler story I've written down and I will happily PM this to those willing to
ruin it for themselves and read the story of Rodney's last hours as King of Luigio
