(Placeholder, proper image pending) IC Description: The Communication Hub is a unique arcane device constructed to facilitate long-range telepathic communication for the members of the Ere Argus commune. Modeled after a type of device found on the Draenei homeworld of Argus, the Communication Hub allows thoughts to be transmitted as spoken words to others connected to the Hub, anywhere there is Arcane magic - allowing it to be used across dimensions, such as into Outland, and even across timestreams, such as into the alternate timeline Draenor. Each member of the Commune has a Communication Stone, a small black gem attuned to them and to the Hub. It is bound to the individual and cannot be used by another, as any tampering with the Stone will prove fruitless - without a connection to both its host and the Hub, it is just a powerless rock. To transmit using the Stone, it must be held or touched with a hand, or held against the user's head, and then specific words must be thought into the Stone as though spoken, and will be heard to others. Incoming transmissions are heard only by the bonded user, as long as they remain within a few meters of the stone. By design, it does not transmit idle thought or emotional vibes, to avoid complications and unwanted transmissions. OOC Information: Simply put, players requested an IC chat be implemented in addition to our regular guild chat so that they might RP even when otherwise occupied. Since there's not really any valid reason not to have one, we've currently assigned the Officer chat, or "/o"-chat to be our In-Character channel. For the sake of consistency, the guild chat is "Words only". The mental link does not transmit images or sensations, only words, so *Emotes* have no place there, short of conveing a mental "tone of voice". Also no dreaming, mental images or ominous emotions. |
