Insanity Loss – a primer and permissions
Starting later today, Felix will re-emerge from his ritual completely insane. This will replicate the same magical affliction he endured during the majority of the first book. Obviously it’s difficult to put down exact rules for insanity, but Felix’s madness has a few basic guidelines:
-He will rarely recognize people as who they are. Often they will appear with the heads of monsters, or people from his past, or even only as vague shapes or colors
-He will sometimes be unable to comprehend speech, or hear only horrific booming noises instead
-Similarly, he will sometimes forget how or be unable to speak himself
-He will sometimes see colors around people which correspond to their mood
-He appears to lack the ability to filter his dreams and have more frequent and very vivid nightmares
-Canonically he can see and hear ghosts (though I’m not sure there are any in Paradisa to actually see)
-He will also experience various other visual hallucinations
-He is extremely sensitive to magic and any magic being done to him/around him will only make his condition worsen rather than improve. Given the castle’s nature, he’ll rarely be very lucid, unless anyone puts this together and removes him from it)
-He will not remember a lot of what happens once it’s over
-His magic will also not function for the duration
It should be mentioned that there is an intuitive nature to Felix’s hallucinations due to the fact that the affliction is magical rather than mental. When he sees people as animals, they are reflections of that person’s true personality or nature (the short-spoken and imposing Lord Protector appears as bear, his brother appears as a fox even before he knows his nickname, etc). The colors he interprets as feelings are entirely accurate and often can be read even when a person’s face or voice cannot as easily be so. The ghosts he sees are real, and he actually sees a curse attached to someone he would not have known was there otherwise.
To aid me as I write Felix for the duration of this loss, I’d be appreciative if anyone threading with him in person fill out this form to give me inspiration, especially if I am not familiar enough with the character to make it up myself.
If there are spoilery or sensitive subjects in your permissions that you wish to keep private, please feel free to PM the form to me instead. Post here with completed permissions, questions, or plotting. The loss will end sometime shortly before Halloween, though I have yet to settle on a date. This is as vulnerable as Felix is ever likely to get. He will also be very bad at functioning like a person and will likely need supervision like a five-year old to make sure he eats/bathes/dresses, not to mention the random wandering off for reasons he won’t quite be able to articulate to people. Enjoy that. I know I will. :3
EDIT: First post is here.

Since they'll run into each other at some point:
What Felix might see this character as: My first thought was 'Welsh Dragon' but I think that might be a bit much. ;) I guess it depends. Howl acts like an arrogant jerk, but isn't really. Then again, there's enough else going on with him that maybe he'd just be emotions and magic and not clear enough for an animal at all. Up to how you think Felix would interpret all that, I guess.
Reading auras? Yes.
Other magical affects: Howl has a few things going on. Firstly, he's been cursed by the Witch of the Waste. It's really more of a way for her to track him down than a traditional kind of curse, though, so it might just be something vague swirling about him, if anything. The bigger thing is the spell that binds him to Calcifer and keeps him alive, given his heart is literally in another dimension at this point. Not sure how that might show up other than a creepy black hole in his chest, or something of the type? I'm happy to discuss. The book is unfortunately kind of vague on all of this, especially the Witch's curse.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Felix is welcome to remember as much as you'd like.
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: Phoenix, for the Girl On Fire. He will also see her constantly in flames when she is angry or upset.
Reading auras? Yes
Other magical affects:Nope.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Yes.
Meg & Archer
What Felix might see this character as: Given her last loss, let's go with the cat theme. A black cat to be specific. It's pretty true to character.
Reading auras? Sure. Knock yourself out. At this point, hers would be surprisingly light, if a little conflicted.
Other magical affects: He might get hints of Meg actually being made up of black smoke, which is how demons are visualized in her canon while outside their host bodies.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure, why not?
Character: Archer |
What Felix might see this character as: A wolverine
Reading auras? Totally fine. Interpret him however you want. He's a dick but he's very childlike in a lot of ways.
Other magical affects: N/A
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure, why not?
no subject
Character: Anthony Crowley |
What Felix might see this character as:
KANGAROO!!!Snake. Itty bitty green snake.Reading auras? Sure thing!
Other magical affects: Demon! Felix can totally see his black feathery wings if you'd like.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure, it's nothing he doesn't know already.
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: A white wolf, with pale pink markings. Think something similar to Amaterasu from Okami, but without the flames or the stylized swirls. ALTERNATIVELY: if you'd rather go with color, a white or very pale pink with dirty stains here and there would also work. She's also represented by white and pink roses in her canon (white roses being more common), if you'd like to go with something floral.
Reading auras? Sure!
Other magical affects: She has a magical sword stuck in her heart. There might be a faint glow over her chest where her heart would be, that would get stronger around people she trusts and is open to (which includes surprisingly few people around Paradisa)
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Yes
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: A large stallion.
Reading auras? No, will explain bellow.
Other magical affects: Equius, being a hero of void, is tapped into the powers of the void. This surrounds Equius with a cloud of void. blanketing his mind and hiding it and things around him from anyone that has the power to read minds or sense where something is. It could be interpreted as a large, blue cloud around Equius.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure, why not.
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: Either a Cat or Golem would probably work.
Reading auras? Blues is a robot, so I'm going to say he's immune to that. Unless Felix has been able to read a machines aura in the past.
Other magical affects: Nope he's a robutt. He can notice him being a lack of any natural if he wants?
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure!
Because I am making it a goal to thread with you more
What Felix might see this character as: She's associated with a few things: swans, the color gold, Mallorn trees, the flower Elenor, the sun...
Reading auras? Sure
Other magical affects: Well, you know her whole super old and powerful elf deal. I'm thinking that seeing her as extremely bright (like a source of her own light) would be extremely appropriate. That scene with Glorfindel in FOTR comes to mind.
You know, the one where Arwen stole his part in the moviesWould you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: Swallowtail butterfly of any bright color
Reading auras? Sure, though hers is probably muted as she doesn't get rifled up much
Other magical affects: She's a a very powerful witch but most likely still human though very old. He might notice too that she's not quite alive as she's hovering just between life and death and her time has been stopped there.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? No.
Since now he's alive again-
What Felix might see this character as: Probably a rather mangled looking wolf. If a color would show up, despite most of his magic looking red, it would be a pale blue.
Reading auras? Go for it! If he can tell the difference, despite what Duke may be generally feeling in each tag, there's some negative emotions going on (mostly at himself, if that makes a difference)
Other magical affects:Duke uses non-aligned magic as a sort of radar. He might see a fine mist about Duke for that.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Go for it!
no subject
What Felix might see this character as:Faye is usually gentle, but also can be quite tenacious. She's also very opportunistic and can be sneaky if she has to, to get what she wants. In terms of an animal, it would make sense that she's something small or apparently docile that can pack a wallop.
Reading auras? Yes.
Other magical affects:Nope. She's merely mortal.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Yes! It'd make for some great CR later!
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: London has been a spoiled rich girl since the day she was born. Since being brought here, she's slowly realizing that she can't have anything and everything catered to her at every whim, but she's never let go of the idea. In spite of that, she's very cheerful and optimistic, and she finds interest in just about everything and everyone, especially in Paradisa. In terms of an animal, London would likely be seen as a domesticated creature who's not very smart. (i.e. a lap dog.)
Reading auras?Yes!
Other magical affects: No magic in London.
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure!
no subject
What Felix might see this character as: I'm going with the abstract route. I think Chell might appear as a calm blue, usually, and as for shape, hm. Maybe he'd see her with the head of a cat, if that works for you.
Reading auras? He most certainly may.
Other magical affects: [Is there any magical affects or supernatural natures about your character that Felix might pick up on (curses/illusions, being a demon/ghost/angel/thing)? Any suggestions on how to interpret this visually/symbolically is welcome. (Chell's completely human, so no magic to speak of <3
Would you like Felix to remember any of this post-loss? Sure. If she helps Felix out in any way, he could remember it.]
