Maitiu Colvus is Skies' character (unless he changes his name, in which case I will edit my CC to reflect the change).
The basics: The planet is really huge and mostly unexplored. Days are longer than what they are on Earth (roughly twice as long, but we're still deciding on that. I randomly took a liking to 53 hours). I'm not sure about weeks yet, and months will be vastly simplified. Winter will be called something akin to "Season of the Shadow", Summer, "Season of the Flame/Draconic", Fall, "Season of Change/the Demonic", Spring, "Season of Magic/the Angelic". These are not set in stone yet but these are the general archetypes I am going for in naming.Ah, I see.
Is there a crash course to understanding Fiáin? I don't care if it's 20+ pages, it would really help me out.
Wait... why not?Ok. I'd rather not RP something like that.
I'm super confused with the whole Earth Age/Fiáian Age thing. What's the difference?
That and you mentioned a "Cinder Plane to the West." Is that...a hold or a city?
And what's this Miatiu Colvus thing/person Nuro mentioned?
I'm not quite following your reasoning or why and how you came to this conclusion, but are you trying to say to tone it down?Your problem is that you're making a story-breaking illness. We're not writing a novel that ends with Jack's unintended suicide. We're making a story, a cohesive story, as a group. You're focusing too much on what could happen to - and because of - Jack. What you should be doing is creating an illness that affects the story inadvertently.
Something like trouble sleeping, and consequential hallucinations, is okay. I applaud attempts to do so, and I'll back you on it. But to have it be progressive and based on lineage means that the family knows about it (or the possibility of it) means that they will have been prepared for the worst outcome. So they'd have something to force sleep to occur, negating the effects of the illness.
Additionally, even if he doesn't take anything for it, eventually his body would force a temporary shut down. You die from not having enough sleep, assuming an outside force prevents you from sleeping. So it would get progressively worse for about a week, until he'd just lose control of his body and collapse into a short coma.
Instead of going back to the drawing board, why not have so that it only seriously starts affecting him, we have a small side plot of finding a cure. Maybe with magic, kinda similar to how my Demonic's necklace suppresses her powers/true nature.Something like trouble sleeping, and consequential hallucinations, is okay.

I suppose instead I could just scrap it and go back to the drawing board. It drastically changes the landscape of he and his family. The more I think about it the more superfluous it seems, although I can't say I'm really interested in RPing Jack without it. It was intended to be much slower and less severe than what you have described, although now that you say it I realize I don't know if I could trust myself not to derail things unintentionally. This illness would literally accomplish nothing that needs to be accomplished, save for creating tension with Jack's family. Anything else, such as a motivation for hating the Aspects, it would be overkill for.
Hmmm. This is going to take me a lot of time to rethink and re process
