Intergalactic Summit

The myths and leogends are really unclear on how this is supposed to work, really. It's not a vengeful ghost, that's a separate thing. It's spoken of as a twisting of the Fate, which in itself is a whole lot of nonsense, of course.

And oh, I have an idea now.

I can't tell if I should wear glasses again. I was told they made me look more creepy, somehow.

I still don't get this fad of corrective or faux-corrective lenses.

Let us suppose that the emergency cloning does indeed count as death, for death-cursing purposes.

Now then, what are the implications of capsuleers using the death-curse mechanism ?

Well, consider this:

With the opportunity of multiple death-curses, then, a capsuleer has a disproportionately large ability to death-curse people, which would certainly be abused by some, to spread death-curses on everyone that has ever annoyed them in some way, no matter how trivially.

This would have the effect of further increasing the alienation effect of being a capsuleer, from being a normal Minmatar human person.

With the passage of time, it would come to pass, that any normal Minmatar human person would find interacting with a Minmatar capsuleer to be a truly terrifying and stressful prospect. With the ability to wield immense physical power, a capsuleer is already a terrifying entity. When the ability to death-curse anyone they choose, repeatedly, then the fear factor of a capsuleer is magnified.

Normal Minmatar would be overcome with fear, when doing business with capsuleers. What if the capsuleer takes offence at something the human has overlooked ? Everything must be just right, lest the human invoke the wrath of the capsuleer.

And, some capsuleer people would seek to cultivate this kind of fear, for their own purposes.

Ultimately, the Minmatar would become so terrified of capsuleers and their death-curses, that a capsuleer would be seen not as some kind of protector, but as some kind of tormentor of the Minmatar people. Would the Minmatar wish to continue training capsuleers, in that situation ?

In Amarr mythology, such an entity would be a Demon, I'm not entirely sure what the equivalent concept would be in Minmatar mythology.


Furthermore, capsuleers using the death-curse, would be considered rude, I would say.

Because, with their multiple death-curses, basically, they're acting like that jerk at the gym who keeps hogging the equipment.
Capsuleers would effectively drown out the death-curses of normal people, who only get one shot.

Har har har.

Well, more seriously, in Minmatar folklore the role of 'demon' would be taken by all manner of entities. One I personally know of is the Draugr, you know, restless dead who guard mounds and tombs and treasure, invade dreams, curse people and being really darn difficult to kill a second time.

Then there's the wisps that goes around luring people to their deaths in bogs.

And etc etc etc.

No singular entity that will go around throwing death curses at people or haunt them or lead them to their doom. We have many, so very many of them instead. It's kind of what happens when a clan develops their own set of evil supernatural afterlife entities, another clan does that too, and then another, and then another and then we put all of them together when we decided to become Tribe, then join with other Tribes who also did the same thing and...

I always did like he glasses Halcy.

Call it personal biased.

Possibly.

In my opinion, if you do decide to go down the route of being the Demon, I suggest a little bit of bodymodding, to enhance the effect.

Red skin, horns, leathery wings, oh and, you have to wear skimpy clothing that is liberally decorated with skulls and stuff.

Gives people The Fear.

And gives some other people some confusingly arousing thoughts, but the less said about them, the better !

You mean the bit where you create visible indentations in the skin of your nose that never go away?

Well..until the next time someone pods me.
There are worse ways to find oneself with marred skin.

Arrendis, you are wearing goggles still after three days and that means it was a MOST notable hangover. And at the age you insist your clones be kept at, too. Seventeen years old, no? For neural plasticity and physical resilience?

It's worrisome, that's all. Are you well?
