On another hand, she will treat your Sakura as her Fetch, I think.

I don't know what a "Fetch" is, so....

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I don't know what a "Fetch" is, so....

Basically, a false person put there by fae to hide the abduction of the Changeling. For that matter, Mike, character death is something you learn to deal with.

The problem is with you there's only one way to have this work which is allowing nothing at all to test your characters. Anything they could conceiveably fail at, you object to.

Hmm, yeah, I looked it up.

Well, Kat is free to treat her as such if he wants, but she's not. She won't have any of the abilities or traits associated with such. Further, he is not killing her, or any of her family.

For that matter, Mike, character death is something you learn to deal with.

No, Arch, it's not, not in this context. Go read the fucking rules of the RP. Elf said "no killing without permission" for a reason.

If you want to RP your characters dying, that is your choice. I do not wish to do so, so I won't. If you don't like that, go make your own damn RP for people who fetishise grimdark shit.

No, things can test them, I'm just not letting them die. And, you haven't tried to "test" them. Everything you've done has been pretty much inescapable.

Lol, as a Loyalist she would only wonder if she could be the Keeper magnet as Fetches tend to be ones. No reason to kill her.

Well, yes, I don't understand much about the setting. I just Googled it and found that they would sometimes attempt to kill their Fetch.

Ultimately, it's unlikely to matter much, because the fact that she drains life-force from people means she is likely to come into conflict with my characters at some point (yes, Rider does it, but she doesn't do so in a fatal manner, plus she tends to be rather careful about not letting Sakura or Shirou know...).

[Kat]

How harvesting emotions from people would look like?

[Cherry Lover]

How harvesting emotions from people would look like?

What?

[Kat]

I mean, how harvesting emotions from people to generate Glamour would look like, let's say, from the POV of your characters?

[Cherry Lover]

Do you mean permanently removing those emotions, or just feeding off emotional states?

[Kat]

Feeding off emotional states.

[YOLF]

Feeding off emotional states is the closest analogy. Changelings don't deprive a person of intense emotions when they gain Glamour from them, the same way they don't deprive the person of dreams if they get Glamour from those.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, then, I don't see any fundamental issue with that. Although, of course, if they go out of their way to create those emotions (particularly negative ones) that might be different, depending on how they do it (running a theme park with awesome rides to feed off people's fear and excitement is fine, kidnapping someone and torturing them to feed off their fear and pain obviously isn't...).

[Kat]

Mordred's Summer Court's emotion is Wrath. She will likely feel affinity for hotheaded people, though she can feed on other emotions, just feeding on Wrath is more efficient.

[Cherry Lover]

Ah, right, OK.

Well, I don't think any of my characters are inclined towards anger in general, although Sakura can get angry at times (she is Rin's sister, after all). Kiyoshi is probably the easiest to anger, though, ironically. I'm guessing Mordred is going to love Rin, though....
