Hello there! Prospective applicant with a few more questions for you. Sorry to be a bother.
1. Echoes: The first echo is supposed to be something canon based, memory based is my understanding, to ease characters in. Can this thing be something based on headcanon, or are you looking for something strictly canon? I ask because my character spends a great deal of her "screen" time doing extravagantly horrible things to people, and it might be difficult for me to think of something that would be less horrible to parallel. However, she's lived a very long time (5000 years) so it's very much possible that she could have a memory of something that wouldn't be traumatic for a more-or-less normal human being to be introduced to.
2. NPCs: If a character has brother(s) or sister(s), can they also be played as having received echoes, or is this something available only to PCs? I ask because canonically, this woman has two "sister" demons that she relies on to help her, but they are not so intrinsically related that a combo app would be appropriate (I think) and trying to play all three of them at once while achieving AC would be exceedingly difficult for me, and even getting them *in* might be hard since they are not very well-rounded as far as characters go. At the same time, their presence or absence could make a very big difference in how this character ends up operating far down the line.
3. Spirits/Souls/Bodily changes: This character has a number of powerful weapons and powers that wouldn't be accessible to a human being. She is a fox demon from ancient Chinese history, and aside from being able to do crazy shit like fly and appear wherever the hell she wants to/astrally project herself, she can take possession of other peoples' minds with mind-control (ala a weapon I'd be interested in her getting back, if at all possible, through multiple echoes). She can also take possession of other women's bodies, forcing their souls out and her own into habitation transforming their body in the process to one that suits her liking and is capable of wielding items that are "magical" but really alien technology (long ass story that will be explained in-app); am I to understand that after a suitable number of echoes it would be possible for her to use these powers again? Would they need to be toned down for the sake of keeping her from being too-godmod-ey?
4. Reserves: What is the time limitation on reserves, and is there a limit to the number of characters one can reserve at once?
Sorry, I know that's a lot of TL;DR! Thanks for your time.
