Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No, I was not familar with that fact about their names... I mostly only know demon tongues, with a few other languages here and there.

"I am not entirely sure of Kaze's abilities, so I do not know how Rosemary would compare to the former. As for the issue with angels, as far as I can assume and have seen, there wouldn't be doppelgangers for angels specifically... Though perhaps there would still be other Eztlis, or such in some cases where a mortal was given the position of an angel, there wouldn't be multiples of that same angel though.

"I have to admit, this does idly make me wonder if Eztli's name has a translation we're unaware of, or some other names. I know that some Limboian words and names somehow translate as other words in some languages rarely. If I recall, Eztli in Limboian is an old name and word that compounds several words, meaning basically "My precious one", or "Precious thing". Sometimes even "Thing/One close to my heart". His family really cared for him to have named him that."

"As far as I know, Jacob only meant the biblical meaning as well back home. Kinda odd that Eztli's name means blood in another language, but something else in Limboian. Oh... I do know that my last name of Merak means something back from my homeworld, usually because sometimes it was used partially as an insult due to my magical ties. "He who is whimsical" or "Is of outlandish ways".

...Does your name mean anything?"

"Huh, now that's pretty neat. I really should study other languages besides the few I already know. The translators might make it a little easier, but could still be an interesting hobby and task to take up, especially in cases where the translator still slightly waivers."

There was relative silence for a moment as they walked for a bit, Jacob taking note of a few more lively plants in a garden like section of the park. One of them was wrapping it's vines around a crystal light pole, blossoming and unblossoming it's flowers in an attempt to attract insects for pollination. That brought back something to Jacob's mind, the several plants Ma had at his home.

"So... That tea plant you have, and others I saw earlier tonight. Do you have a bit of a green thumb like Githar does?"

"Yes, I was. I typically just get my tea from the stores, not straight off the plant like that."

The flower actually seemed to attract a couple of large insects finally, strange ones that were unlike some that Ma had seen on Gaia earth. One apparently had three.. maybe four heads? And made an almost musical, choir like humming sound. The flower stopped gesturing once the bugs came near to perch, the multi-headed one enthusastically thrusting it's faces into the pollen of the plant to feed on nectar.

Jacob got a closer look at the flying lizard and noticed something interesting about it...namely, the eyes.

"Well that's slightly rare for that species. It actually has eyes. The majority of them don't typically have eyeballs."

Once calmed, and not as panicky, the lizard chirped, hissing a little bit as it examined Ma's face. Coiling back up towards Ma's shoulder, it seemed to hunch over as if perched there, resting a bit.

"I believe you've made a friend... are snakes your familar by any chance?"

Flicking it's tongue out suddenly, the snake quickly uncoiled a moment or two later, diving after the bugs in the flowers for a late night snack. The several headed bug was it's apparently victim as something that sounded musical seemed to waiver out in it's tone and pitch, like a dying instrument.... (probably literal in this sense.)

"Well, reptiles just might be your familiar some day. That creature back there seemed to take a liking to you pretty well."

Having finished with it's meal, said creature flew back towards Ma unexpectedly, coiled and "perched" around and on his shoulder again and chirped for a moment, ruffling through it's feathers for a moment or two, before flying off again.

"Okay, now that isn't something seen every day. Especially after eating, they just usually go do their own thing for a while. Anyway...

Automatically, I can sense certain things such as roughly how long a being or spirit has been deceased or undead, the potency of certain powers if it pertains to their being not alive, and as of a while ago, being able to determine the type of being in my head that they are, or rather getting a good general sense and feel for it. Even if I don't know what species one is, I'd be able to identify it if I saw one of that kind again.

Here lately I've been trying to focus on figuring out more and more on being able to naturally pick up on slight weaknesses and strengths as well. I figure in certain situations, that could be pretty handy. I can do this on a small level, but I figure the more I 'train' it, the more potent it'll become. Like exercising a muscle. It may even branch off to other things."

"I probably should've clarified a little.. I can detect the strength if they gained it because of their being dead, but not if it was innate to them while alive usually. There's sometimes exceptions, probably because I do practice a few other magics on the side just a little. It's the potency of powers that I sense usually, though I'm working more on being able to detect if they're frail or not.

Typically, I could stop most dead. But there always will be, and have been exceptions. Like for instance, undead made or summoned from a more powerful necromancer than I, or some that have some sort of protective magic around them that's difficult for me to counter. Sometimes magic can also have chaotic effects, which throws things out the window and breaks the rules..."

"It sort of does. Most individuals tend to concentrate it into their main appendages when they're spell casting. If they lose those appendages, it can be more difficult to spell cast, but not impossible to learn other ways, like way of mouth, or pure will and concentration."
