Character Name -Linzi Kilima
Request Type - Invention
Request Details - Blood Harvesting Arena/ Device
Specific Details:
A device that automatically collects blood shed near it, sorts it, and deposits it in separate resevoirs per each combatant.
and/or
An arena that automatically collects blood shed on it, sorts it by individual, and deposits it in separate resevoirs for each combatant.
Saftey/Ethical checks:
The Device is enchanted to stop collecting blood if a combatant loses the will to fight, goes unconscious, or doesn't consent to the engagement at the start. Potentially even destroying any blood shed from an unwilling subject. This feature is turned off if said combatant agrees to a battle to the death at the start, or if the combat is punishment for a crime. In that case it will keep on collecting any blood shed until all surviving fighters decide to quit or the afformentioned blood toll has been paid.
Inspiration for the invention. What made your character come up with this idea?
Linzi though a series of interviews learned the truth about the Myr tree, and that it is fed by blood garnered from honorable battles. He's also horrified at the idea of blood hunts. People being attacked for their blood just for stepping inside Yokoshuran Territory. Should Outsiders decide to stay away from Yokoshura, parties of Yokoshurans could even resort to blood hunting in Korvara, potentially triggering a war that could severely hurt or even destroy both societies. In the long run Linzi hopes to find some alternative means to combat the desertification, or at the very least a more ethical source of blood. In the short run he wants to find a way to facilitate "honorable combats" in a way that can bring Yokoshurans and Outsiders together.
Inspired by the Friday night fights in Meiaquar, Linzi believes that glatitorial serious combats with willing outsiders and Yokoshurans could provide all the blood via Honorable Combat they could ever need, and perhaps even create a surplus. Fighters from all around Korvara could come down south to test their mettle against the best fighters Yokoshurans have to offer. Each one staking a certain amount of blood with each fight should they lose. Even if the outsider wins, any blood they shed in the contest won't be wasted. Outsiders could also duel eachother near them, ensuring a decent payout of blood for the Tree regardless who wins. A portable device allows such combats to be run anywhere, and the blood taken back to the Tree in theory.
Should these fights become a regular occurance, and they remain voluntary for all participants, Linzi believes relations between Yokoshura and Korvara could improve. Yokoshurans get all the blood they need, and Korvarans can worry less about being blood hunted regardless where they are.
How the invention works. What does it do, how does it do it, what are its limitations?
Much of this was explained above, but the device uses a series of enchantments:
To determine the intentions of any combatants nearby,
If they both consent to a battle to the death the device will collect blood from them until all surviving fighters stop fighting.
If they both consent to a serious bout, but not to the death, the device will automatically stop collecting blood from an individual once:
They've gone unconscious
Surrender
or a previously agreed upon amount of blood is shed
If a combatant doesn't agree to the combat the device simply won't work at all.
Should a combatant attempt to get more of their opponent's blood than allowed or otherwise continue a fight beyond its previously agreed upon end point:
The device will stop collecting blood, and even destroy any blood shed after that point.
If a combantant excessively continues to try to get more blood than asked or kill someone that didn't agree to a battle to the death, all blood collected in that fight will be destroyed.
Collect any blood outside of their bodies not actively being used for combat (although ghosts getting all their blood techniques swallowed up immediately could be funny),
Sort it by individual (So Yokoshuran blood isn't mixed in with Outsider blood etc)
Deposit it in separate resevours by Individual.
Existing technology. What within the established lore supports the invention existing as you have described?
Blood rituals and magic are fairly well developed in Korvara. Linzi is a very experienced hemomancer, and things like runes, glyphs, or enchantments could be used to synthetically reproduce techniques Linzi has developed whilst using his hemomancy for healing. He would likely need the aid of an experienced enchanter to properly calibrate the device, and the the aid of a skillfull carpenter, mason, or other builder to do anything as large as an arena.
Development time. How long have you been working on this IC? Do you have logs or screenshots supporting your claim?
Linzi is only on the drawing board at this stage, Just getting the idea for it a few days ago after a few conversations with Yokoshurans. He will likely float this idea by his friends, both in Yokoshura and Outside of it before commiting to the plan. Should this request be given the go ahead, Linzi will start taking the steps to build the device, and attempt the necessary politicing to ensure its adopted in a way favorable to Yokoshurans and Korvarans.
Thank you for Listening
