Taints Joining the Academy?!?!

SO. Apparently since taints can act good now, I was CURIOUS if anyone would want theirs to try and join the Academy. I think that would be AWESOME PLOTTAGE. And I would LOVE IT TO BITS.

I can just imagine Liian and Rat getting all uppity in a group of Sekkaians and someone freakin' out and saying that he shouldn't care at all because he used to be a Taint so he loves them or something. Rat, of course, would poop himself with all the angries. THIS WOULD BE FUN.

ANYONE ELSE FEEL THIS WAY?

So this war that's been going on between Taints and Sekkaians is like HUNDREDS OF YEARS LONG- if I didn't estimate it wrong- is finally over.

Le Academy is a place where dragons nest. Lay eggs. Where the army resides.

Logically inviting/allowing Taints in so soon, apparently with little consequence is... illogical. Any Sekkaians harbouring Taints... shouldn't it be considered an act of treason? Soon-to-be mothers... would take that risk with their eggs?

The general response I have from all my non-Taint chars:
THE FUQ IS THE EMPRESS DOING? WTF ARE THE GUARDIANS THINKING? EXECUTE EXECUTE EXECUTE
fromAsara: Iquitmyjob
most of mine Sekkaian peps have extremely murderous intent towards Taints. EXTREMELYYYY.

rofl

Shore this is totally awesome for plottage. But instead of just inviting/allowing them in, I kinda think they should be put through rehabilitation/psychological/behavioral re-evaluation before they are even allowed into the Academy grounds. TRUST ISSUES. YOU DON'T SAY... heyyy that Taint was tearing my guts a few days go NO BRO, YOU AREN'T WELCOME AT MY TABLE FAK DAT I DON'T WANT TO GET POISONED/ASSASSINATED. /shot :P

Before they are allowed at the academy they basically get evaluated by high ranking people to determine if they're a threat or not. A lot of them will not be welcome at the academy, or in sekkaien lands in general.

IE, taints like Conquil would never pass any sort of evaluation, she has no regrets and would never be considered good. Taints like Garboil or denkou however, and others who pass said evaluation would be considered as sane as any other sekaien, though that isnt to say no one will be /not/ wary of them, that's to be expected XD but its not like they're letting ALL the taints in. I'm sure its a very selective process

Still very shaky, poor rationale on the high ranking people part. I sincerely hope it is not under the SGs' job description. Mine is certainly not going to do it :v

The officials should put the security and safety of the Academy and civillians first.

However, if it still goes through. It'd be ripe for srs plottage. Just wanna say my chars (most of them) will be reacting viciously, murderously, defensively, etc. :B

lol. Mine on the other hand will welcome those taints who will be healed and those that've been deemed safe. I can be pretty sure at least two will be joining stormsong in the future

If it's under the SGs' job description... blame it on Salus >.> He's way too trusting and too keen on letting people in to possibly heal them for good. Heck, some of his relatives might be among them, how could he deny his own blood to come home? But yeah, even then only if they have been evaluated first and are then put under constant watch. Trusting does not always equal stupid :3



So... yes, great plot to start allowing tainteds in, you may even assume Salus tried to evaluate them and might even have attempted to post guards on them to watch their movements and actions if you like.



The hatching ground is where I draw the line though. And that includes even Salus.
Especially during egg-laying, care-taking and touching.

I know neither Proxy nor Auster would permit any tainted to be in the same room as their eggs. Period.
I know I can't tell you what to do with your characters but I'd be happy if you kept them outside that one part of the Academy if they are tainted. I really don't want to put my character in an kill-or-be-killed situation in such close quarters.
Even if it's just to visit their eggs/young.
Please, please don't?

It's one of the very few non-resolable, non-compromise situations for me so I'd rather avoid that. <333

This I agree as well. Dhruva might not attempt to kill the male taints in the sands for the sake of the females, but he would drag them out not gently. If they resist... Plenty of blood will spill I am sure :E

Mayhaps the SGs should hold a meeting to smooth out stuff like this o3o
I don't really know their job description clearly enough though.

ouo! I'm glad you're all busy pondering plots regarding the Academy's newest, strangest bedfellows. This kinda thing is what I was hoping for after the conclusion of the war plot. The battles are over, but by no means is there going to be instant happy frolic-through-the-daisies peace.

Seissss an SG meeting is an excellent plan. While Asara and Dhruva are the head of the Shadowguarde, they are expected to be considerate of democratic decision making. In the confusion some Taints have obviously been allowed entrance to the Academy, but the SG could hold a discussion and vote amongst themselves to decide whether they will be allowed to stay, and further Taints invited inside. In any case, Taints will not be allowed inside the hatching grounds during this upcoming hatching.

The plot feels like it's been going a long time because it's been Sekkai's main plot ever since the forum was first started, and I've been particularly bad at describing it hyperbolically in terms of 'aeons' and the like xD But I am making an effort to break the habit. But in IC the Taints first began attacking in 3255 b.r, 36 years ago, and war was only officially declared in 3265 b.r, just 26 years ago.

Feel free to have your characters react any way you like xD They can rant and rave and forcibly try to boot Taints out or they can hide Taints under their beds for cuddling. Personally I'd reassert that while a large portion of Taints are just generally unsavoury characters, all were being mind-controlled by Nidhogg during his reign. In every encounter with a Sekkain pair they were hard-wired to crack crystals at the first viable opportunity, whether they wanted to or not.

Many other Taints would have experienced extreme grief upon being freed from Niddy. If they had lost their rider in the process of being Tainted, his influence would have acted as a horrible kind of replacement to save them from just dissolving into a weepy pile of useless soldiers. Now he's gone, they're once again lone dragons. And lone dragons are not happy dragons.

Unless they're dicks.

But if they loved their rider and didn't want to be Tainted and didn't enjoy killing friends and family for twenty years while living as an outcast- they could probably really use a hug right now. If an evaluation is the outcome of an SG discussion, it's that kind of Taint which is probably the type which would be granted a home at the Academy.

I know Endolin could do with a hug. <3 He's too wary of what the Sekkaians will think of him to go to the Academy outright. Hopefully he'll be nudged into the right decision of going over time.

He deserves some love after all that happened to him. :(

I'll not respond to everything, I agree to much of what has been posted... ...but yesss, a SG meeting on the topic sounds like a great idea! That would help to set some vague outlines and give everyone a general direction that others can refer to... ...or choose not to :3
Ohhhh, Seissberd? <3333
Can you set one up?



And because I can't help it....
Leech wants hugs too! ^^

(...and then she'll learn how to digest stuff through her skin. :3)
