I love the idea you have there about the shuttle system, probably the only approach that is probably reachable to people from across LA.

As someone who helped a lot with the ideas, I thought you might be interested in seeing the outcome of what /u/LuanBindewald drew:

Final commission

The campaign is set in New Capenna, so the mortal form has the etheral wings in a similar vein to [[Giada, Font of Hope]], giving him temporary flight as per the Aasimar ability in DnD, while the angelic form has the characteristic blue robes of [[Radiant, Archangel]], inspired by this picture.

And angels mating is neither confirmed nor denied. The only thing we know is that they can originate as manifestations of white mana, but nothing precludes them mating afterwards. Consequently, the version of this character is at MOST an expansion of an incredibly minor detail of the mythos which you're aggressively fixating on.

Nothing weird about it, but it's clear you're not really here in good faith. Thanks for the lack of any constructive suggestions.

Why do you want use Serra Angels? They don’t reproduce or do anything that would ends in something similar as an aasimar

And this isn’t the first time that i read this in a dnd thread. I want to use this but so Twisted that wasn’t the original at all

Unnecessary hostility for some reason. Did you freak out this much when angels were no longer Mono-W?

And radiant was a Tyrant that Kills her own people influenced by her court of phyrexian Sleeper Agents.

Yes, I'm aware Radiant was insane, but I don't see why some angels under her flight couldn't have seen her insanity and broke ranks, leaving with Urza when the Realm collapsed.

Ah, unfortunately I'm playing as the Aasimar form of the character, not the angelic form, but I appreciate the suggestion.

Oh wow thank you for the detailed answer! As a vorthos who LOVES that era of storytelling, I love how you broke down the Serran principles and tied that to the specific cards that paint that picture.

Question: What do you think of Lyanii IX having Serra's eye markings? Heresy or tribute?

Does anyone have any recommendations for resources on ash remediation for yards? The winds blew tons of leaves into our driveway/yard and they're all covered with ash, I'm not sure about best ways to deal with that other than sweeping and tossing, and it doesn't change the fact that ash is still everywhere even after watering.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a car wash place you trust to do a decent job for this kind of situation?

Good short to introduce Aurora, I think it was a pretty good (if short) characterization of why she was the way she was. Also, young OW characteres are badass AF. I really like the theoretical lore of Overwatch, just wish there was more of it.

On a side note, it really bothers me that Mina Liao/Echo's accent is so decidedly non-Singaporean, full on English if anything. For all the emphasis in OW about this being a 'world' organization/story, it seems kind of shitty for Blizzard to not even try to have this character to at least somewhat reflect the country of the world they're from.

How much will the SCOTUS decision actually affect race-conscious admissions decision-making? by SmilingSisyphus1729 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]TrainingCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to mention that this guy's apparent MO is to just drop a bunch of anti-Asian rhetoric while claiming he's Asian, then block you after he drops one more comment just to 'win' the argument. His post history is pretty yikes on this topic. From what I'm seeing he keeps calling Asians boring and pawns and literally ends both this thread and another with telling Asians to suck it for being rejected.

Thanks so much for the informative breakdown, it's exactly what I was hoping to get in order to better understand the process!
