So do I have to control Nadia? Does she already have a set team and personality I should be aware of before starting?

Yes, I mentioned in the last update she's using Prinplup and Klink. Her personality is up to you. And she's a Breeder.

Okay, I think I understand how it works. Since Lucario has to close his eyes to see auras, that's all he can see. Basing it on the Pokemon logic, it's kind of like a blueish flame to Lucario. This blueish flame is the inner layer which is the same for everyone, but might have a bit different intensities depending on the person's health.

I'll have to agree with Chim on the rest of how the aura works. The talking Zorua pushes the line, but the anime's definition of auras is a big red flag. Also, I don't think Java doesn't have an aura since he's not a living being (I'd say he's a machine if anything), but that's up to Stratos.

I don't even know why Bonemerang counts as a ground type move... So yes, it does damage to Pokes with Levitate or Flying types.

Got it,this makes much more sense.I weep for my countless marowaks who used Bonemerang on Levitaters ;~;.

Also if there was Mega Dragonite you could bet your ass that would be James's mega.I mean Liona is a fooking beast XD

I still dun think auras should be applicable anyway, what with it being a Crowded school. If it was a blue flame as Commander suggested, it'd just be a sea of blue.

Also, is a mega really necessary? Is there even enough mega jewellery?

Eh,i think The Mega Jewelry are hidden or have to be given to the character in some way.And it's not like we will be able to use them anytime soon-we have to wait till lvl 50.Which is gunna take quite a while.

I thought aura the aura's coloration depended on the user's perception of its meaning and the actual personality of the person the user is focusing at... Like, for instance, I'd see myself surrounded by a green/yellow glowy outline cuz I'm rotten and that color seems sickly, hehe ~

Even if that ain't the case, it's still cooler than everybody being seen as blue :I

I asociate being alive with basic consciousness of mind, at least as much as an animal would have, and even more so with being capable of self awareness in this case seeing as mons tend to be a lot smarter than your typical IRL bear or fish or wht have you.

So while yes, I at this point still techincally count Java as more of a machine than being alive because only now has he truly began achieving things like emotion and self reflection and actually questioning his own existence and such, he is gradually moving towards becoming qualified to be considered a living being in my eyes. though he probably won't be completely until it's near time for him to evolve again, which I'm thinking I'll probably do when hes around lvl.40-45.

Btw about the Kenny and Mareek situation: Ryu could've located Java before the Porygon went inside the tv. After that he can notice something being wierd but not that it was Java and certainly not what he was doing because that's spoiling everything that's going on. The last part should be impossible to tell anyway.

Not exactly sure how they did in the movies / anime when Lucario tries to locate someone by using his Aura, but I just see it as some sort of 'spiritual' form and not in the shape of what he's looking at. That also means it's impossible to put names on the aura he senses.

Example; he can sense 2 aura's where Evan and Henry are, but can't tell them apart. For all Ryu knows it is Evan who's leaving instead of Henry.

I don't even know why Bonemerang counts as a ground type move... So yes, it does damage to Pokes with Levitate or Flying types.

alright, thanks for clearing it up. A bit too late to go and change things with that particular situation now, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

No, they aren't necessary. But don't worry about it, if you don't want it I can always level the field so Claude isn't at a disadvantage against someone who has it. Also I control who finds a stone and when. There won't be a Lucarionite or a Blastoisinite or whatever without my permission.

IRL that's actually the outer half of reading an aura. That half is kind of like the mood ring. I'm kind of against that part a bit because it's on the border of mind reading. It's easily abusable and can spoil/ruin things.

I think what he's referring to is more like Lucifer (Raiza's Litwick) and his "Soul Nibbling" than what you described.

No... in IRL esoteric/ Metaphysical/ occult beliefs and systems, the whole "Mood Ring color thing" is definitely far more common for Auras than it is for souls. and lucifer just kinda nibbles on the person's life force from how it;s been portrayed by zephyr so far, he doesn't actually do anything to their minds themselves. At least, that's how I've read it every single time it's come up so far

what I was thinking of was that the Aura had a Color that fit the personality of the person, much like how Zephyr depicted Souls as having a flavor that was different depending on the personality.

Like how the Ribbons in PMD T/D/S work? If so, I know what you mean, but I'd have no idea which is which.

That's exactly how it works. except in this case, there are no Ribbons or Stat Boosts, only the Visions of Colors, Shapes, and Brightness.

At this stage, the worst damage that Lucifer could do, should he choose to actually eat a huge chunk of a person's soul, is really just fatigue. The way I'm portraying Lucifer with regards to life forces or auras or whatever spiritual object, I'd like to think that it's more energy-centric. Think food. Lucifer would be a kind of gourmet when it comes to devouring souls. In that light, he can recognize who's who by the "smell" or "taste" of their life force. I'm kinda thinking that personality, dominant emotion or something would add to the "flavor" of their soul, like spices, with the trait that makes them who they are being the overall taste... Which is why Henry's soul seems to be changing flavor according to Lucifer, and... well, the ketchup-flavor I described for Slade really was just a joke intended because the guy has bright red hair. Then again, ketchup is what, tangy, sweet? If I've been reading the guy's personality right, then by the grace of the RNG somehow I picked a flavor for him correctly (admittedly I didn't really give it much thought back then).

Now that I type all this, it'd just come to me that if Lucifer can detect emotion, he could tell what the person is about to do, too. I'm bringing this up before anybody else points it out, just so I can say that no, I won't abuse that possibility (heck, I swear, I really only realized it now ._.).

Going back to the damage he can cause to an organism when feasting on his/her/xer soul, it's very minimal now cause he's just in his first stage. As for the Lampent and Chandelure stages though, I assume that with a larger capacity and theoretical spiritual stomach-sac-pouch-whatever-ghostly-organ to fill they'd do more damage to said organism's health... So I'm not too sure how to play Lucifer's soul-eating habits then. I'll just burn the bridge when I get there, I guess.

tl;dr lucifer wants to eat your souls

Honestly, I find Lucifer's opinion on what each soul tastes like quite entertaining. I'm usually against stuff like that, but seeing as Lucifer isn't telling Raiza about any of it, I'm not bothered by it at all. Speaking of that, I'm tempted to make Henry more standoffish whenever Lucifer eats part of his soul instead of being fatigued.

Actually, this reminds me of something I'm not sure any of you noticed. Way back in chapter one, I used Zuko's tail to fling Gypsy because I assumed Gypsy weighed about 12 pounds at the most. I actually looked on the Wiki page and she's supposed to weigh over 60 ibs. I kind of ignored it for the time being, but I had to think of a way to adjust the weight. For some random reason, the idea hit me that she should be obsessed with berries and eat massive amounts causing her to gain more and more weight until chapter 3 where she now weighs her proper weight.

Lucifer can't really tell Raiza about it or... Well, he assumes that she would know (which she really doesn't cause she's only human after all). I guess one way you can put it, or one thing that makes his manner of eating souls not so dangerous, is that he usually just takes enough to sample them, in general... Unless he really really likes how you taste or is famished. If you remember the guy who told Henry not to show up for the coordinator show, Lucifer went off to give him a scare and demand payment by eating a huge chunk of his soul; that means that Lucifer is very much aware of what his soul-nibbling does. which is why he does it sparingly to people he's interested in, or to people Raiza is fond of, and never at all to Raiza or her parents. In the cases when he recognizes people without actually feasting on their energies, that's when "smell" comes in.

I assume that that doesn't mean that her habit of depleting people's Berry stores will stop though?
