Hideaki's 'Quick' Question - Minato Namikaze - 10-11-2015 it wasn't really a quick question, so I'm responding in a thread. Hideaki Yajima Wrote:Sasuke Uchiha Wrote:And yes, the prime could essentially summon the secondary, however, this secondary wouldn't know of its experiences in the Underverse, because the prime made it and the prime does not have knowledge of those experiences. It's like how you can't summon books on topics your prime doesn't know enough about.Now that's interesting. Does the same apply when summoning Secondaries from your own world? I'd assume so, but that seems like kind of a big deal. Shouldn't it be mentioned in the Rules somewhere that every single Secondary has had massive memory loss upon coming here? Because there's no way their Prime (no matter how close they were) could possibly have known every insignificant little detail of their lives, surely? When a Prime summons a secondary to the Omniverse, whether it's on purpose or by accident, the secondary retains any and all memories up to the point in which they were taken from. A prime can't specifically chose what memories they do and do not keep (we as players get the liberty of choosing from when and where our secondaries come). Something else to address is that you can't summon secondaries that aren't from your universe, the fact of that matter being that your character just won't know them and it would make no sense. Hideaki Yajima Wrote:Minato Namikaze Wrote:Essentially creating two versions of the same secondary.How would you rule on summoning a Secondary trapped in another location, though? Let's say they were jailed in Coruscant, for example; would the Prime who summoned them be able to re-summon them whilst they were still alive (i.e. teleport them) or would that also just create another version? And assuming they can't re-summon living beings, would that make suicide followed by Prime-assisted reincarnation a viable escape plan? In regards to summoning a secondary, Unless they are a summon or an assist and you're spending SP for it, I wouldn't try it, It's something I wouldn't think would be allowed. If they did kill themselves and the plan was to re summon them, then it would be the same secondary memory wise but also technically a different copy of that secondary. But why would you want to do that? that's just less story for you to write (which means less OM). It also seems a bit like you're trying to game the system. For the recall thing, I'm going to say a flat out no. The fact of the matter is, if you're in that position, anyone who was putting you in jail would simply take your weapons/ items away from you and you wouldn't be able to teleport out at all. Don't just assume that they would keep your items while you're in jail. The people putting you there have been here longer than you, the also know more about the world than your prime character.

I blame Sasuke for confusing me! Minato Namikaze Wrote:Something else to address is that you can't summon secondaries that aren't from your universe, the fact of that matter being that your character just won't know them and it would make no sense.Except that we know that that isn't true, not only because Proto Man himself summoned a chocobo sfter playing FFII (as I previously mentioned), but also because of the discussion we had on the subject in the vs Ultramarines thread. Minato Namikaze Wrote:In regards to summoning a secondary, Unless they are a summon or an assist and you're spending SP for it, I wouldn't try it, It's something I wouldn't think would be allowed.Makes sense, I thought as much. Minato Namikaze Wrote:If they did kill themselves and the plan was to re summon them, then it would be the same secondary memory wise but also technically a different copy of that secondary. But why would you want to do that? that's just less story for you to write (which means less OM). It also seems a bit like you're trying to game the system.Good to know, and I wasn't planning on actually doing it myself... or at least, not having my character do it; but don't you think it seems a decent way for Secondaries to perforn recon/assassination missions? If this is actually a legitimate possibility then it has the potential to have a huge effect on how the Omniverse works. Obviously the cost of constantly re-summoning people would be prohibitive to its actual use, but at the very least people like Palpatine & Aragorn should have no problem (the Rules even state that they have at times accidentally summoned groups of people whilst building their cities, so both must obviously possess vast amounts of OM). And no, in case what I've just said hasn't already cleared that up, I'll clarify that I certainly hadn't intended the question as a search for exploitable mechanics. It's just that if this kind of thing can be done, then it only makes sense that it will be done, and as such might be an interesting thing to mention in a story at some point.

I forgot it required you to have a Communicator on you to activate it. I guess the exception to the rule would be people like Guu, with their own personal hiding spots for their items. Swallowing her Dataverse device was how she managed to hide it in prison before, after all. Though that was only Langweilig... I guess places like Coruscant and Minas Tirith might be expected to have methods of locating even well-concealed items? Re: Hideaki's 'Quick' Question - Minato Namikaze - 10-11-2015 in regards to summoning secondaries from other universes, I was talking about named characters rather than just unnamed ones, sorry for the confusion |
