Her power is what causes her blindness and confinement in a wheelchair Alice. It's a fair trade considering. It's her only ability, it was already shown to have a flaw. It's her way of protecting herself and frankly letting Arch's vampire just shrug is off is bullshit.

I'm sick of these murder attempts he makes on my characters and I have been trying to avoid his characters as a result but he still won't take the hint and leave them alone. If I'm going to be forced to constantly defect attempts on the lives of my characters then the game becomes pointless.

I'm using her power to end the situation simple as that, it's a fair power Alice, as it says in the profile she rarely uses her magic.

You still haven't answered the question Lantz - how the hell does Rin's father in law know Jack?

And again, Jack isn't his real name. So the eyes shouldn't be at full power anyway.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Oh and Daiki.

What he fuck just happened?

[YOLF]

Was it stated in her profile that that's a clause of the power?

Given his effective magic resistence with his willpower, I'd say that Jack most likely gets to resist somewhat, but given it's supposedly an EX class ability.... ehhhh, dunno. In WoD it'd probably the sort of thing that you have to spend Willpower just to make a resistance roll, but in this case it's more ambiguous.

I'd compare it to one of the stronger Servant resisting a Command Spell, maybe. It seems like that sort of situation.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

No, but Lantz stated it here. Because he is shit at making profiles.

[lantzblades]

Name gives a target and yes the false name counts. Line of sight gives the power boost as shown earlier in the RP. Kiritsugu was describing vampires, not yours specifically arch.

now seriously stop trying to weasel out of being made to leave, it's benign and he can come back later arch. He isn't in danger unlike your attempts to murder my characters so you're really just arguing for the sake of doing so.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

The thing is that this is pretty much an excuse for you to do whatever the fuck you want without penalty. The eyes are basically just something for you to use and make the RP go the way you want.

In short, bullshit.

 Joseph Joestar has been approved! 

I'd say Jack would be able to resist.  I mean, Taiga's Commands do seem a bit over powered.  It seems like she could just order everyone around if she wanted to.

Unless someone had really high mental resistance like Forest or Tom. 

[Cherry Lover]

Was it stated in her profile that that's a clause of the power?

Nope, last time she used it it applied to everyone. I think the name is meant to imply that only that person should be affected, and that should mean that it would work as long as they understood that it was them being addressed.

I'd compare it to one of the stronger Servant resisting a Command Spell, maybe. It seems like that sort of situation.

Yeah, I think that is a reasonable comparison.

There are ways around it, though. For example, don't let her look at you. She's in a wheelchair....

I agree it is quite powerful, but I suspect that the power is reduced because whenever someone seriously contests what she's saying they'll just bullshit some excuse not to be affected by it. It also can't force you to do anything strongly against your principles.

Oh, BTW, Arch, does your vampire speak Japanese? Because Kiyoshi sure as hell doesn't speak English fluently, and he certainly wouldn't be speaking it with Rin or anyone else in his family....

I find it hilarious that you're started worrying now about what language everyone is talking.

Well, I only just thought of it. It's easy to forget when we're all writing in English.

[Bloble]

Fuck the language thing, seriously. If we were following the rules, half the characters wouldn't be able to understand each other. Luka, Tom, and Bonesington would be speaking god knows what seeing as they come from completely different worlds, and that's not fun for anyone.

But Sir Bonesington has an excuse! He's been in the modern world before! 8D

Also, translation spells I guess, but that's not nearly as fun of an excuse.

Oh hey, I figured out how to direct quote multiple posts with ease.

Yeah, lol, I guess.
