Mediums
From Metro Wiki
Either of these Merits MUST be approved by the wraith wiz. Please look over the written material here and feel free to pick up the WW book 'Mediums' for more help on further enrichment of rp.
Speaker of the Dead Slots and Mediums are currently closed until we have more Wraiths to balance out. Please check in for updates.

Mediums
Classification of Mediums:
Medium - 2pt Merit: Allows you to hear the Shadowlands.
Many people in the mush have thought that this means See and Hear. It is not. It is definately Hear. Mediums are people who suffer the pain of hearing the realm of the dead along with the words of the living. It drives many crazy, sometimes even to the point of intentionally going deaf to make it stop. Mediums are encouraged to play this IC'ly, as it is hard to keep the realm of the dead seperate from the land of the living.
Speaker with the Dead
Classification of Speaker with the Dead:
Speaker with the Dead - 5pt Merit: Allows you to see and hear the shadowlands.
This is a rare gift, and will be shown as such on this mush. You see and hear the shadowlands. You are VERY distinguishable in the shadowlands and wraiths are drawn to you. This Merit is disastrous to the mental stability of anyone with the merit. Suicides are common with this merit, as well as psychosis and other mental derangements over time. You see and hear the shadowlands and skinlands, at once, with no ability to discern what is alive and what is dead. A blurred image of death and life conquers your mind. Wraith staff will be looking for RP that shows this instability, as time passes, many people look to many ways to cope with their insanity over not being able to discern life from death. Speakers are encouraged to play this IC'ly, as it will be close to impossible to discern the realm of life from the realm of death.
Taighairm
Classification of Taighairm:
Taighairm - 2pt Fae Blood Gift for Kinain
This is a Hear and Speak only gift. It allows the Kinain to hear and speak to the dead. Speak in the sense that they can call spirits of the dead. The spirits of the dead are under no obligation to appear when called, nor are they required to do what the Taighairm says. The Taighairm can use persuasion, bargaining and even threats to get the dead to do what they want. The dead never do anything for free, so do not be surprised when asked for something in return. Like the Mediums Kinain with Taighairm are encouraged to play this IC'ly, as it is hard to keep the realm of the dead seperate from the land of the living, and can be quite maddening.
Taibhsear
Classification of Taibhsear:
Taibhsear - 1pt Fae Blood Gift for Kinain
This allows the Kinain to See spirits of the dead at all times. Occassionally if the shroud is low enough, they can see into the Shadowlands itself, or if the Shroud is high enough, they may not see anything at all. It does not allow them to Hear or Call, they can puchase the Taighairm gift to do so, or become creative in finding other ways to communicate with the dead. One with this gift can see wraiths as clearly as they can anyone else. This does not mean the Taibhsear have Deathsight or Lifesight so one is expected to disreguard wraith descs on PCs, and only see the Shadowlands when the shroud is low. However, do keep in mind some area descriptions include descriptions of wraith population. This can be a very useful, but also scary gift as the Taibhsear can see things others cannot, and many wraiths are frightening. Kinain with Taibhsear are encouraged to play this IC'ly, as it is hard to keep the realm of the dead seperate from the land of the living, like the Speaker of the Dead, you see things others can't, you can be looked upon as crazy.
