| + | ''' Nymeia's Eyes (''' The Visions ''')''' <br> | ||
| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>One of Hoshichou's strongest traits is also a point of weakness. Though she is trained to control her visions there are those that are too powerful for her to properly channel. This means that whereas she can put herself into the dreamesque trance with the intention to find out information on the inquiry(ies) it has the potential to spiral out of control. In this situation, she'll often be trapped until the vision is passed. Likewise, Hoshichou can also experience visions that she hasn't triggered. If you would like a vision, please specify if you would like your vision to be one that is controlled, one that spirals out of control, or one that has happened at random.</div><br> | ||

| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>The moon plays a part in Hoshichou's visions. Due to the nature of her gift (read below) Hoshichou is entranced and bedridden from dusk until dawn on evenings that are the full moon and new moon. For that reason, I will not schedule meetings on real-world nights that are full or new moons..</div><br> | ||

This entirely depends on the type of vision she has, the severity, and many other factors. This can be discussed with the player that approaches.</div><br> | ||

Alongside her divining cards and starglobe she also has a deck similar to that of tarot and she does tea readings and crystal scrying..</div><br> | ||

| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>As an astrologian, Hoshichou does use her Divining Cards and Starglobe. These objects are used to assist in healing alongside assist in understanding (and perhaps even changing) the fates.</div><br> | ||

| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>With slight name adjustments to make the deck more universe friendly, Hoshichou has the equivalent of a tarot deck. The fashion that this deck is used is identical to the real world deck.</div><br> | ||

| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>: As a soothsayer, Hoshichou has taken it upon herself to try and help people with her knowledge. Because knowing fate cannot always help in the moment she has learned how to heal through both astromancy and alchemy. Knowledgeable in herbs for varying afflictions she once created salves, tinctures, poultices, fomentations, syrups, and familiar potions. Since her affliction, she has handed over her recipes to Maneshi, who now creates all the listed with her herbology guidance. Her herbal understanding is also helpful for those looking for guidance on proper ritual arrangements.</div></td> | ||

| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>Hoshichou has an assortment of varying abilities below. Her purpose (and the purpose of this post) is to provide your character with a multitude of creative outlets for you to push your plot-line further. She is meant to assist you and your story. That being said, I am not here at your 'beck and call'. If you are in need of her assistance I will request you get in touch with me so that I can schedule you in. If there is an emergency I would like to know ahead of time so that I can be online and available for it. If I don't know ahead of time, or we have not scheduled a meeting, I reserve the right to decline participating. Hoshichou still has her stories!</div><br> | ||
| + | ''' Mistress (''' of the art ''')''' <br> | ||
| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>Hoshichou as quite talented in her arts. She has been learning since she was a small child. Furthermore, through roleplay, Hoshichou has been 'gifted' from her attunement. In a sense she has fully, 'ascended,' or 'fully aligned,' with her magic. However this gift came at a cost. Hoshichou is physically blind. She sees on a 'different' plane. She is able to see things that are celestially attuned (like objects) or otherwise deeply connected with fate. Her singular exception to this is she is able to see at night when both the stars are present and she stands within moonlight. Things that block the sky will prevent this (like weather).</div><br></div> | ||

| + | ''' Celestial Sight (''' Explained ''')''' <br> | ||
| + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#251f29;" size="2">★</font>For those more interested in her sight I'd ask that you make sure you have read the disclaimer before you review this explanation. | ||
| − | : | + | :I will start off with saying that Hoshichou is physically blind. Her sight was taken from her in an attack. Though magic managed to restore the beauty of her eyes it was unable to restore their ability to properly see. It had been through that roleplay that Chou’s astromancy attunement was triggered and ultimately granted her the sight she has now. |
| − | : | + | :Hoshichou sees on something I call a, “Celestial Plane.” This may not be what it is technically called but it is something that players and characters can understand better. If she was asked to describe her sight she would explain that it is like being amongst the stars. Instead of seeing physical objects (like that tree) she sees speckles of lights akin to stars. |
| − | : | + | :These lights often don’t play much help in guiding her around her surroundings. In that sense, she remains very much blind. She relies on her “Seeing Eye Shroom,” named Bun, the help of others, or the assistance of her senses. Looking into her history, the interested party would discover she was trained by a shinobi named Kato. Kato had been very adamant about training Hoshichou blind (despite her ability to see at the time) because he believed sight was deceiving. It is through his training that she has managed better than most. |
| − | : | + | :What the celestial sight does do is it allows her to connect with things that are related to the sky and the fates. An example of this in action is Hoshichou’s tea readings. Hoshichou uses a tea set that is just as much a magical artifact as it is a tea set. After the proper reading ritual has conducted, Hoshichou will ‘look’ into the cup. At this point, the stars will shift around in her sight, and they’ll take on the pattern within it. This allows her to fortune tell. Similar, this is how her tarot readings and scrying work. |
| + | :On clear nights where the stars can be seen, and the moon is not at full or new, Hoshichou has been granted another gift from her attunement. For a temporary amount of time (the duration that the moon is in the night sky), Hoshichou is permitted sight. It only lasts a few hours (pending on time of year and moon rise and set). It’s also easily hindered. She cannot see if she’s not in the moonlight. She cannot see if the starlight is hindered (like in buildings, behind clouds, or otherwise). This “gift” was the most her attunement could “heal” her. | ||
| − | : | + | :Though not particularly part of her sight itself, her celestial sight has other benefits (or consequences, pending on how you look at it). On nights where the moon is either full or new, Hoshichou is entranced from moon rise to moon set. She’s locked in visions of the past or future (moon phase dependant) and cannot awaken from it. In these times, she’s completely vulnerable.</div><br></div> |
