Phaestus, the Smith (for real this time)

Silvarien

I always wanted to ask Lord Phaestus whether He was man-like or dwarf-like because I couldn't understand from His appearance. However, I thought the question might be insane because how can you look at someone and not see that? So I asked if I could ask a potentially insane question. Answer: "probably not." Drove me nuts for more rl months than I can recall.

So now I finally know. Hooray!

In the back of my mind I sort of imagined Phaestus like the Narnia version of Father Christmas.

I think Vastar does have wings.
  An Immortal bearing a resemblance to a dwarf doesn't seem much odder to me than an Immortal with horns or extra arms.

Yep.

He is a radiant immortal and is wreathed in the Eternal wind, flowing around Him as He stays aloft, uplifted by great wings the shade and colour of storm clouds, a physical link to His mortal kin.

Whereas Phaestus' description doesn't say anything than means he must be a dwarf, and wings for Vastar =/= Atavian on their own.

We need greataxes as viable knight weapons, so Phaestus can recruit someone and someone can reply "You have my axe."

Iocun

Isn't any axe a greataxe in relation to a dwarf though?

Tvistor

You are a genius.

@Silvarien

Next time, just prepend the question with, "In your own opinion," and it makes it more or less sane. "In your own opinion, are you dwarf-like or man-like?" "In your own opinion, what color is the sky?" "In your own opinion, is there a river here or not?" 

It makes you a liiiiittle (okay, a lot) odd, but it's still fairly IC.

If you say "Can I ask something insane?", you're already asking something OOC.

@delphinus its better than simply blurting your whatever question you had

You tell Phaestus, "What's your ping?"

Delphinus

@Antidas: Right, I agree, but you're setting a weird tone by asking about "insanity." It shows the line's not well-demarcated to begin with. That just leads to emails calling Phaestus "Papa," and then everyone is unsettled.

Things that might work:

1. msg phaestus (( Excuse me, but if you have a moment, I was just wondering...))
2. issue me I was just wondering...
3. phaestus@achaea.com: Hello there! I was just wondering...

I am not Phaestus, so I can't say with certainty that these'd be fine. The email is probably the safest bet, and if you need to pursue it IG, they'll say so.

Oo sexy legs.

Heh, we actually sent it back to the artist a couple times to get the legs properly manly.

@Sarapis - "We need his legs to be, you know, 20% cooler!!"

@Siena everytime I see your name, I think of the "See ya in a Kia" commercial.
