So after been witness to a fight in Cellsvich that ended with the guards 3v1 the attacker (WAIT this isn't a guard salt thread! Don't close your tab!) it got me thinking. The victim of this attack was an ugly (and probably smelly) carapaced lich. He could very much be described as a walking monster. Now let me be clear I'm not singling out the player or his character saying they are bad (I actually think it's a pretty cool character) I am just using them as an example of something that has always seemed a bit odd to me.

Isn't it weird that we have all these monstrous looking liches, shaitans and dullahans walking around in Cellsvich common areas? With no attempt at hiding their nature. At least from an in character perspective this is very odd. Now I understand many player characters are cool and unfazed by anything, but think of the common folk, the NPCs! Would they be comfortable seeing them walking around? Keep in mind it was not that long ago that Cellsvich was under attack be horrid creatures of darkness. Yes I know that these player characters had nothing to do with it, but what would the average non katana wielding citizen think? If you think this a ridiculous thing to bring up I remind you of Kronos (bless his soul). He was fooling around with a mask of the night lord, turning into monsters. He was arrested and then executed (okay so he had a record. This doesn't change my point!) for potentially/actually causing a panic. So this does have some legal precedence.

So what should be done about it you ask? I propose BAN these "people" from the public areas if the city, so our children will can sleep soundly at night, free of nightmares! Would this cover all people of the races I mentioned? Obviously not, liches who wear hooded robes for example would not really stand out. Most shaitans look normal except for their hands and if a dullahan just looks like a man in armour no one would bat an eyelid. Of course all of this would be down to the guards discretion these things aren't black and white after all. This might even be able to be applied to other races too, it all depends on the playby after all.

Anyway with my wall of text now over I'm interested in what everyone else thinks of the topic. Thank you for reading.
