Magic Teacher? by

So I recruited a boatload of OCs from my first badfic (the sporking of which is still in beta-ing ) and I am keeping two of them, one of whom is very emotional. And her magic is tied to her emotions, and she keeps blowing stuff up. But I can't find any NPCs on the wiki who could teach her how to control it. Will I have to make someone up, or did I just not look hard enough?

then I wouldn't mind lending out Lee. She's a trained Elemental Mage, so if it's control you want, she's probably a good choice to start out with.

Emotion control, huh? I don't know of any specific NPCs (besides FicPsych as a whole,) but I'd be willing to lend you Agent Xericka (http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Xericka) to help with that regard. She's only good at controlling her emotions because she can't actually feel any, of course, but she understands the mechanics of how emotions in general work. Plus, she's magical in a very limited fashion.

Presumably the Department of Fictional Psychology has people who know about emotions and stuff. {; )

Actually, I'll offer Nurse Mirrad, who is a Minbari of the Religious Caste, which means his level of emotional control is only one or two degrees shy of Vulcan. He's not a magic-user, so if someone else has somebody who is, that might be better, but he CAN instruct in the ways of keeping a lid on one's passions.

He looks hard to write, though o.O I don't want to screw him up. Although I can imagine some very fun scenarios with him and Dawn.

Nah, not that hard. by

I guess a bit harder if you've never watched Babylon 5, but he's not terribly complicated to write. Still, I'm up for co-writing some stuff if you like. I see you've got an offer from PoorCynic, too, so it's totally up to you. {= )

Um xD
*brainstorms* Maybe she could have lessons with Mirrad for emotional control and then lessons with Lee for actual magic? -

Lee's probably a good bet to start with--best of both, sort of thing. If she really needs the extra training in mental discipline, though (note: may include such exercises as standing naked under a waterfall and ridiculous amounts of meditation), Mirrad's always around FicPsych. {= )

Those learning methods are sure strange. by

Naked under a waterfall? That looks more like something that Lux would enjoy, rather than training.
Well, all depends on the size of the waterfall. -
Just imagine... by

... the mental and emotional discipline it would take to stand naked under a large waterfall with Lux. *eg*
(Mirrad wouldn't suggest that, though. {X D )

Given that Dawn is about eleven years old. Ish. (Thank you, badfic author, for not telling us her actual age.)
Also, how does this co-writing thing work? Do you do it on AIM or something? -
That's one way. by

I usually use GoogleDocs, though. It's a lot easier, and neater, too.
