Heaven's BBS - Information for Shinki (and their gods)
Posted: Wednesday March 9th, 2016 13:05

[For all that Yukine might have been complaining about how many new shinki there are, how frequently they pop up, and how increasingly impossible it is to mentor the lot of them, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been thinking about a better way to do this.
So when you, as a new shinki (or god), come to this link on Heaven’s BBS, you will find this carefully put together list of information.
(He took the time to put this all together. You darn well better take the time to read it all.)]
Here is some useful information for the new shinki. I think the gods can get something out of this too, so they should read it also.
● Get along well with your god, as much as possible.
If you are feeling upset or anxious, it will affect your god negatively.
If you do things under a guilty conscience, you will blight your god.
Being touched by ayakashi causes blight too, so don’t do that either.
Mild blight can be cured by cleansing water from a shrine.
A lot of blight can be fatal. Let’s not find out the hard way what happens to the new shinki when their god dies. And vice-versa.
● To start, change into your vessel form when your god calls your vessel name, and return to your normal form when called by your common name.
It will happen naturally but it might feel strange. It’s better to not resist the change. (If you resist it, you’ll grow a rabbit tail.)
You can’t choose your vessel form. So whatever you turn into, work together with your god to find out the best way to be used.
● Your task is basically to help your god in what they want to accomplish as far as granting prayers.
One shinki per god is the ‘exemplar’, and as the name implies they set a good example. Gods should listen to them in particular about how to do things.
● To level up your abilities, I recommend you learn how to make a borderline as soon as possible. It usually functions as a wall between you and whatever is on the other side.
It’s easier to practice against tiny ayakashi. But do it carefully- no matter how small they are they’ll still blight you.
The borderline can also cut, but it can’t kill ayakashi. Only a shinki wielded by a god can kill them.
That’s everything I have for now. A lot of it you’ll just figure out as you go along.
If you want to share a point for adding to this list, leave it in the comments.

but thanks for the tips, Yukine! that was very helpful
so it's all a lie... how lame. that kills all the mysticism for me
no subject
I'm glad it was helpful.
There's still plenty of mysticism , really. Maybe just not everything the stories make it out to be, but the stories usually have a grain of truth to them.
no subject
in my world, there are stories of legends who changed the course of history during tumultuous times, but they actually exist. not gods, but real people
no subject
I suppose they must have been powerful people.
no subject
there was once a songstress who ended conflict between humans and Zentradi
then there was a rock band who stopped an alien race from attacking their people
the power of music is grand, don't you think? ♪
[Sheryl herself is actually a fan of said rock band...]
no subject
Thank goodness this is text or he very well would have said that out loud.]
Right.
Well, you might be interested to know that shinki can use songs to help in battle. It's an advanced technique, but something for them to work towards.
no subject
i've used my own songs in battle before, to stop the Vajra from attacking
so it's all familiar territory to me
if the shinki's songs can sway the ayakashi
we'll have a chance to defeat them
no subject
But the songs are a powerful assist, and it's good to know you'll support them in it. I hope your shinki will be up for it soon.
no subject
i wouldn't be Sheryl Nome if it didn't have my certified support. i'm sure if i explain to eno, he'll be up for it
no subject
I appreciate that you're so enthusiastic for it.
