Daemons on Sectumsempra
Well, I think I've started a trend...now everyone wants to have their daemons included in the rp. Yes, daemons are technically from His Dark Materials, but there are many people who like to talk to them in real life. No, we're not crazy, we just...some people just feel natural with them. It is just a voice in your subconscious mind, if you are some sort of scientific person. But for believers, also known as daemians, the 'voice' is much, much more. It is your soulmate, the other half of yourself, and has its own personality and...life. I am a daemian, and so is Aurora, Chickory, Ella...and probably many more. To learn more about real-life daemons, go here.
For newbies who don't know much about daemons, they are the animal that you are born with, the other part of you, which changes from animal to animal until you are old enough to 'settle'. From then on, it will stay as one animal. Most people's daemons settle at around 13 years or so. They can't get more than about 10 feet away from you, and it is considered very rude to touch another's daemon.
But, in real life, the daemon is visualized, or pretty much imagined, into a form that can follow you around and stuff. NO, the form is not truly there, it is imagined to be there, but the voice IS. The daemon exists, even if it is not in a physical form.
So, in the roleplay, most people have begun to speak to their daemon in their head. Aurora and I came up with a plan to have more fun with daemons at Sectumsempra- we had the idea to develop a spell that could give the daemon an almost-physical form- like a Patronus, but with normal colors, and it would keep following you after the spell was cast, forever. Then, when a Patronus spell is cast, the 'daemon' would turn silver for a while and drive off the dementors, then would return to normal after the job was done. The one who casted the daemon spell, the human belonging to the daemon, would be the only one able to physically touch the daemon, and others would go through it like a ghost.
The spell would be optional; not everyone would have to have a daemon in the rp. It would just add another dimension to everything, and make the characters...deeper, in a way. If you knew the other half of your character's soul, wouldn't you suddenly know a lot more about them?
Well, feel free to ask questions and stuff. Wei'd be happy to answer.
