Two Hearts

Question: A simple (if specific) question: how would you see a combination like Harmony and Expression working together in your Bogovi PSP?

Ah, a neat question! Since the powers of Dvoeverie involve Scions gaining new and foreign Virtues which influence their native ones, different combinations are bound to result in new and interesting personality quirks. Of course, Virtues are very subjective and a lot will depend on how a particular player plays them and a particular Storyteller enforces them, but we can give you our take on them.

Expression-flavored Harmony (or Harmony-flavored Expression) would involve both Virtues enhancing the others, creating basically a new fusion Virtue with elements of both. We would suggest that, since Expression is all about being heard and expressing your most important moments, it would encourage your Harmony to become more vocal and elaborate than it might have been before. Where Harmony encourages a Scion to preserve the balance of the universe at all costs, Harmony colored by Expression also wants you to tell others about that balance, loudly educating them or extolling the most wonderful qualities of a world in perfect balance. Your Expression will most likely guide you toward creating works of art based on the opposing forces of the universe and their natural order, or toward making the natural world itself your canvas and mode of expression.

When you have two linked Virtues with Dvoeverie, we would suggest that the higher dot-rating one is probably more influential on the other, but both are going to have their say. And god help you if someone goes out and sets a natural tree sculpture on fire in front of you or something... those double Extremity rolls are brutal.
