Unless it gets shot by a high-velocity round and suffers explosive decompression.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

True that. but if you are being shot at in a room full of devils, with the halon system activated... you've probibly got bigger things to worry about than the chance explosion by richoshet in your cyberlung.

Actually, that's probably the BEST thing you can expect to happen in a room full of demons with an active halon system.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

Perhaps you can get something for your soul really fast before you die.

Blah, everyone knows that the Demons from religious texts are "the Enemy" or Corrupt Passions. The powerful ones aren't necessarily fiery, but rather, they represent the desire of raw consumption, degradation, and destruction. The Corrupt Passions are Deceit, Lust, Wrath, etc.


They're great to have at pool parties!

[Ruski]

who wants to see an entire swimmingpool's worth of water be turned into steam?

OOOH!
OOOHHH!
Me!
I Do!

Passion, aren't those ED critters??

Passion, aren't those ED critters??

Entities, not critters, but otherwise, yeah.

I would think of the Passions as ehm... Totems with Avatars that take a more Er... Proactive role in things. They are essentially spirits that embody emotion, just as Bear or Rat embody a specific pathos or ideology.

In the adventure: Harlequin's Back, the story at the beginning is an interlude whereby in a drunken stupor, Harlequin summons a Passion spirit of Deception and uses it's Divination power.

In the Tir Tairngire sourcebook, a Shadowtalk post mentions a strange group of Druids with a following remark about them worshipping "Passion"

[Ruski]

Yea, the hints are all there. but who's to say that it'll be the same this time.

things change.

Again, different game, smiliar world.

Because "the Enemy" is known to exist, the Invae (bug spirits) do exist, Dragons exist. During the Year of the Comet several "rare minerals" were discovered even rarer than Orichalcum (*hack*TrueElements*cough*) Several strange Paracritters like the Night Manta and the Horned Bear were found (These are critters from Earthdawn)

In Earthdawn there were ghouls, however the Ghouls exposure to the Scourge made them go batty and Corrupt. Vampires weren't Undead in Earthdawn. Zombies were spirits inhabiting dead bodies.

Note the Bony Protrusions SURGE effect, which is a manifestation of the Cursed Thorns of the Blood Elves whom changed their races True Pattern to give themselves extreme pain to protect them from the Horrors.

Personally, with the technical nature of the world when the mana level reaches the point where the Passions arrive, they'll probably manifest themselves inside the Matrix or as a result of Simsense technology. I mean, Mynbruje (the Passion of Wisdom) will probably manifest inside the Denver Datahaven (if it's still around, that is)

[Ruski]

That would be cool.

I wanna see a spirit in the matrix.

wonder if they would be as aragont as the AI's?

-RuskiFace the Pirate

[Gabriel]

I'm thinking they ARE the Ai's. Remember, you need an X-Factor to create a true AI. Who's to say that isn't an obsenly powerfull free spirit.

Gabriel

[Ruski]

you know, after I wrote that; I had the exact same thought...
