Why Aquarius for Sage? I was thinking moreso Scorpio or Taurus

@Vox

If I remember how the signs go, Aquarius is one of the Air signs and is considered to be quite unpredictable. And not only is Sage a child of Hermes (whose Source is very likely Wind/Air and is known for his cunning), but to me, she feels like the one who comes off as the most unpredictable person that The Bearer can romance right now.

Aquarius is also considered one of the signs that have a good deal of natural compatibility with Gemini, so I also chose it to up the irony. :laughing:

but here is the deal there is even an item that only a mage character can get in the game because only magic inclined people can get it

What Item I dont see that item anywhere? If you talk about the Magic book a it is not in real text b Nowhere says that is Magician only.

I’ve also been wondering abt this! And the MBTI types.
Drawing frm the 1 interaction we’ve had with Santiago, he seems like your stereotypical Leo. Adonis as a Scorpio. Calypso as an Aries or Taurus. Psyche as a Virgo. Sage as a Libra. Avery as a Cancer.
As for MBTI types, we don’t know enough abt Santiago, Avery or Psyche. Aeson as an INTJ or INTP. Adonis as an ENFJ or ISFP (the introversion is a ?, but I do feel the rest of it somewhat fits). Calypso as an ESFP. I can’t place Saint :cold_sweat:.
My Mage!MC, Nadira, who’ll romance Adonis+Santiago is an INTJ. My Warrior!MC, Abeerah, who’ll romance Calypso+Aeson is an ESTP. This is obviously all my perception, drawing from the limited knowledge of the characters we have thus far! Here’s the link.

says it only shows is self to individuals that are magically inclined i read this from the ingame codex

You definitely put a lot more thought into it than I did :sweat_smile:
I only thought of a Scorpio for her loyalty to her family and determination, but that could just be resentment for the Bearer shining through after “killing” her brother.

How about ISTP? (ENTP could fit too, but by now I tend to think ISTP fits better…?)

ALL Bearers are by definition “magically inclined” though considering all perform that one magic trick we learn equally well.

Well, Mercury (the planet, not the god) is the ruling planet of Gemini (air) and Virgo (earth), and the ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus.
I think Uranus is more related to air than Mercury, the latter is more related to intelligence and cunning (like you said). :smile:

as i see it the essence is like power sources and magic a way to use it. do you get what i mean like the essence is a battery and magic is a remote control but a battery could also be used by other stuff like an engine do you get what i mean? what im trying to say is essence is a power and there is different ways to use that power like my character uses it to fuel magic spells. think about it as the force in star wars

It is not like the force because a warrior could do EXACTLY same spells. Try the demo as a warrior but do the prostatevo spell exactly same text because it is NOT REAL MAGIC ITS ESSENCE. And warrior has the Same amount of essence that magician. The difference is the magic theory knowledge could help us to understand spells and how made them.but mostly training if you spend time doing essence spells you will become a better mage that warrior one but the capacity. And potential is the same.

yes like the force. one demigod might want to use the essence to strengthen their body to increase his physical combat abilities while another demigod might want to use the essence to bend the world around him thus they start training to do that i agree fully that both the demigod could have done the other what i’m saying is that warrior that has trained all is life in physical combat is not going to start lifting mountains with his mind. because he haven’t trained in using the essence like that like wise a mage is not going to start fighting like he’s a gladiator because he haven’t trained in using the essence like that so i fully agree that they both could have done either what im saying is that if you start studing to be a rocket scientist and i start training to become a boxer i wont all of the sudden be able to do everything you can and you wont be able to do everything i can. but the capacity. And potential is the same. do you get what im trying to say

I know of numerous Jedi Warriors that would strongly disagree. The Force is quite an apt analogy, but ultimately it isn’t the same principle as the Essence, or at least we don’t know it to be so far.

Being adept in the Force often means that your skill as a warrior increases subsequently, because you’re in touch with the forces that give you your power. The Essence has no such correlation; if you choose to focus on honing your skills with the Essence, your skills as a warrior will not increase because of that. With the Force they would, but with the Essence, they will not.

I just think the Force isn’t really a great example, is all. It is in the basest forms, but not with the allocation of power.

The Essence, for all intents and purposes in regards to the magic skills and combat skills seem to be rather black and white. The Force is not. Although that isn’t to say that one cannot have both skills of course; it’s just with the Essence, they would be perpetually imbalanced. Perhaps more so on the part of the mage.

true but you understand what im trying to say?

The Essence can be used to enhance ones physical attributes, like strength or dexterity for example (that’s at least how I interpret the escribtion:

There is no limit to their power; it is both magical and physical.

So I would argue that, yes, it can increase MC’s skills as warrior.

Oh, I understand. But you could have explained your point better, is all. The problem is in itself apparently fundamental, although given an eternity and the immortality that the Bearer is supposed to be granted, I see no reason why the Bearer couldn’t master both.

yes but if another demigod do that and knows how to fight tactic and movements it would be like puting a buff dude against a street fighter the buff dude would probably not win because just because your buff doesn’t mean you know how to fight

In itself, yes it will. But the point I was making was that honing your skills with magic will not subsequently increase your skills as a warrior. The base Essence itself would give you a major stat boost, but becoming a better magician wouldn’t hone that strength and dexterity even further unless you consciously willed it to.

i agree i’m just saying i don’t expect my character do be able to do spells and such if he haven’t trained in doing so. and i agree i could have used a better example then the force it just feels like the closest thing to the essence i could think about
