It certainly can be! You said you wanted to play a Jedi, and Tal suggested a couple ways to try to convert that playstyle into this system. Use an electroblade/electrostaff type weapon, get a technopath implant - would either of those interest you? Or would you rather go for a character that focuses on shooting things with guns?
I just play FFXIV at this point. DC: Crystal

It feels like you're making quite a few assumptions on your latest post on Scions, Azi. From what we've seen the king didn't die instantly, but seemed to have bled out very quickly - probably due to a gaping wound in his throat. Throat implying it didn't actually hit his spine at all, since it entered through the side - not to mention I'm sure a suitably buff goblin could've thrown the dagger with plenty of strength and precision. No evidence of instant death magic either, albeit Flynn asking to see the knife I will say is because he wants to check it for enchantments. Albeit, not for specifically instant death magic.

Probably not intentionally, but Dalhover's phrasing also implies Flynn did it - given Flynn is the only living magic user who wields death magic. And the matter of every living magic user known to exist is in the throne room at this very moment.

George,
I thought he died instantly? He seemed to have been hit then fell dead, which I assumed was because the dagger had pierced the spinal cord or the result of magic. I meant for dialogue to imply that any Scion could be responsible, not just Flynn. Nevertheless, I'll make a few edits and adjust things to be more generic.

Post edited to be more general.

He's the most important PC in this situation, I think.

In other news, American Republicans are freaking out again. First, it was Lola Bunny a couple years ago, then it was M&Ms and Minnie Mouse recently, now they're crapping their pants over the myth that kids are using litter boxes because they identity as cats (schools aren't leaving litter boxes in their bathrooms, nobody's asking for them either). Looks like the transpanic has evolved into this so-called furrypanic, which is ridiculous. Just because some people dress up as teddy bears, doesn't mean they're transforming into transhuman entities.

It's so odd that the people proclaiming that 'the left' has gone insane and is easily offended by everything are actually the ones easily offended and is totally insane. Right wingers have excessive projection.

What's next? That when right wingers see they're gonna start freaking out that such are gonna attack the White House? (Though it would be very amazing--albeit terrifying--if that did happen irl)

This was what I wrote:

"He had only taken a single step when, just off to his right, a small green portal appeared in the air. But that couldn't be right - portal magic was supposed to be a myth. The King had not even noticed it, and neither had most of the room. Of those who had noticed it, they were so stunned they could not deliver a warning in time.

A small, thin object flew out from the portal, and embedded itself in side of the King's throat. The dagger buried itself to the hilt with the tip poking out the other side. The King's eyes widened. Blood began to pour from his mouth, and a gasping, gurgling sound could be heard. Prince Leon was already sprinting across the room to reach him.

Then the King fell, rolling down the steps of his throne and sprawling out onto his back. One hand reached for the hilt of the dagger in his neck, the other clawed aimlessly at the air above him. Prince Leon reached him too late. The King went limp."

Flynn is a necromancer, and we found a dead body at the crime scene. I can't believe this is up for debate, we have more than ample evidence for a medieval witchhunt.

Throw him out the airlock.
