Sliver Chocobo Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just a quick question I can imagine lots of ways of how Avatars can effect the Fluff(In both good and Bad ways) So what are people's first inpression of them in the fluff *No Spoilers please* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Several fit in as the usual kind of progression, but does leave the existance of their 'normal' forms up in the air, making no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodem's. Everything about this guy screams "Lord of the Dead", which has long been his goal. Despite not really enjoying Manifestation on paper, I really want to play this model.

Sliver Chocobo Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 What do you mean? 'Splain, please! Are the masters perminately in their Avatar form Is there a difference in their personality (master and Avatar) Do they talk about transforming from one to the other Is transforming similar to going super sayain, in the way they can just turn it on or off, or is it more than that Do they even enjoy transforming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 What I think he means is if you take vanilla ice cream, and blend in chocolate syrup you don't have the vanilla ice cream anymore. Like zoridia I'm guessing is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Hope that clears things up Also I think some can go in, and out. As if they go unconscious, and a strong version of them selves takes over. But as for zorida she reverted herself to that state so she may not be able to go back.

nerdelemental Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 There are exceptions. However, I thought it was pretty explicit in the fluff that they revert to normal. On the one hand: you have Book 2 where the Event transformed literally every master and some individuals we haven't seen yet, not to mention some that have untapped potential we didn't consider (i.e., Francisco, Candy). With few exceptions, they each reverted to normal. Now, in Book 3, they manifest, stomp around for a while until their energy dissipates and then they deflate. Notable exceptions are Perdita and....um....that's it. Sonnia is different, too, but that's because she's consumed by the Tyrant. Oh, Leveticus is screwed up, too! Those are the exceptions. Any I missed? The Avatar bio entries should make all of this pretty clear if the core storyline doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The ice cream analogy is a good one - for some of them, they simply aren't the same anymore, and the Avatar appears to be what they now are, rather than their usual form. Of course this is quite vague, as it was specifically requested that there aren't any spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Are the masters perminately in their Avatar form Is there a difference in their personality (master and Avatar) Do they talk about transforming from one to the other Is transforming similar to going super sayain, in the way they can just turn it on or off, or is it more than that Do they even enjoy transforming LOL, my first thought was to answer: "yes, no, and both." There are some that seem to relish the transition, and others that fight against it. Some that seem to have made a permanent change of sorts (or at least, the change was still evident at the end of book 3), while others turned back. Then again, like in Seamus case, it seems as though his change would have been permanent if not for the interference of other characters. Doesn't seem like manifesting is the same for each character, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmike Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I like them. I have a lot to say about it but you requested no spoiler, and since all of the avatar stuff is new.....im pretty sure it would be all spoilers. so yea i like them.
