Token status-pins Request

Edited 1782484499
I was thinking about that since a couple of days... How can i abuse the scent spell without constantly aving to ask directly?: -Hey Ering, how do you feel? -Hey Avariel how's it going?  Or any patient i would treat... or basically anything because i & some of my staff is constantly on it.... I did think of a solution ... IF you may spare thinking about it when you log in ... Could you add a color to your Token status-pin representing the color of the current emotion your character or NPC would feel so strongly its visible or smellable if any , please ?  Theres coincidely 8 witch coresponds to the entire spectrum.  add none: if the character psyche is normal. Example: If determination is visible on Avariel more than Anything add: Green Will token-pin If Limar is currently vexed, add none, but if he's boiling angry add: Red Rage token-pin If Ering is praying for is best friend to be innocent and is trying everything add: Blue Hope token-pin If your character feels too proud, a cut above the rest or adamant on keeping something add: Orange Greed  If your character is empathic, mourning for someone or with massive understanding or in redemption: add Purple Compassion Pink if you're acting out of love, Yellow if you dictated the character by Fear (You can be on multiple strong emotion because most to some combines togueter to get specific reaction expressed in the human condition) GM: Theres a way to add more Token status-pins, it also gives a r20 trophy for it if i recall,   i mean... if we can use that feature to avoid me asking the question and it works, i'll only ask to add Gray(despair) as 9th ¨color¨ or anything whoever wants more status-pins for any other reason such as status spells or condition currently missing in the selection. Hopefully the DC: Lantherns movie coming out is going to be good and building ground for all the Corps, but i don't ave much faith in Holywood these days. :/  As a fan, i want this movie to be good so much.
added some colors, mild mess waiting on Averials sentence.

I'm thankfull if you thiink about using the status-pins for a mental visual of char mood if he's expressive ...   En theory , i think the GM would only need to ask me to roll Scent for whats hidden rater than me rolling to ask the visually obvious. Anyways,  in give or take a few months IRL , Sidsaspi should ave finish nailling down artificial emotion magic.  And i think it be cool to visualise allies and enemies expressions in battle since we can't hear the tencity of a RP voice in a text game.  ... Did i say Artificial*? superficial? Fake? Bootleg, Doctor F. Snake recommended add-on  .
This is actually a  pretty cool idea, I'll ad some for Ering since he doesn't know how/doesn't usually care to mask his emotions. 
It  help tremedously on multiple aspects i think,      I currently see Ering put Will+Greed  and Limar put Hope+Greed  ,  I clearly sets me on the same page of understanding where i could only speculate your emotions previously and it reeaally bothered me mentioning the speculation as if Legit. As long as we keep a clear disctinction of buffs/malus Status effects pins for the magical meta... i think we can save it from becoming confusing... iduno...  lets see what this beta test results in.. Best example i tryed* to emulate in game was: Vigil suddently flaps in the room in disturbance ; it jumps Sids fear but he succeeds the DC , so he dint get the Fear negative status Pins , but he notelless becomes visibly Yellow (Fear) insecure -I think everyone catch that* So like... the only problem i think could bring confusion is if we put magic buffs in the mix for these Pins.  And like i foreshadowed; the addition of me adding extra ^Fake^ ones that buffs or negates.   Theres a ¨Panicked¨ Pin for the Fear negative effect anyway and a actual ¨Hope/Bless¨ Pin for Le spell of same name.  I mention those out of a few because some spell auto-puts you in that emotion state . A fear spell gives you the status and automatically puts you Yellow emotive , be the same for Blue with the same name and Gray ¨collorless¨ despair   Probably refreshing to see a state of mind without a spell aving to force a negative or buff on you for feeling it... lol    Purelly because it's Text tho...  saves us a couple of paragraphs on visible descriptions and act as reminder
I thought orange was also proud/ adamant and I also put yellow for fear. 
yh, Josh, got all that.   Ego is a dimmer shade of Greed .   It's not nescessarelly item related or bad at all. possesive , proud , enjoyment , paranoiya , intrest can be part of Orange: Greed  .      You and Ering din't put orange because you want to keep it all literally, you picked it obviously because Limar is dragon and thats your strongest emotion suggested and Ering because he is on fire these past 3 days in game making meteologic advancements and big brain / big head feeling pug-champ IS part of orange: Greed and not nescesserally bad... Eck, Avariel could be triggered Greed if a Thug tell him enough to watch is sword at night... possesive does not mean auto-bad , ask your GF. See it like this: If you pick a or more emotion colors : it rounds down to a few adjectives instead of absolutelly no idea on how someone visibly feels.    The main goal is just RP expressions on paper.  (The beta-test of the idea at least) En theorie: The colors should visibly represent the tone and mood of the character from is last sentence or action.  Any color is positive and born from light and every light as it's shadow Dissapointment, guilt, regret, discust, comptempt ,hatred, sadness are some negative variants of mixes of emotions too...  I mean whatever color you picked , the way your character speak should nail the few adjective surrunding your selection.
If you feel, you live... unlike those dead corpse who emanates a total Black..nothing...nada. Oblivion n' stuff
Yellow Fear, Red Rage and Gray Despair ave more shade of black obviously but they all ave both. Tecknically,   Blue+Gray example:  He's desprate to find a cure and believes on is attemps   Gray+Orange         : He could cure Cancer, but he's desprate to turn people into dinosaurs instead.
