First, we changed the "permissions post link" text to read "power opt-in," and "Opt-out post link" to read "Content Opt out." It's a small change but we're asking everybody starting July to use it.
Here are the standard Ainur restrictions, then we've got some questions / restrictions to work out.
For using powers, there is an area limit of 10 square miles maximum for power distance. Powers displayed at this distance should be mild; a storm, a fog, a protection ring, temperature change, etc.
Ainur cannot alter geography (however special occasions can be arranged!)
Ainur cannot create new beings/objects/materials, however they can work with what already exists
Basically, you cannot directly affect the song. If you start to mess too much with the music, it might even be painful, details on the FAQs
Restrictions specific to Manwë:
1 - Manwë's form - So far the Valar + Melkor in game are confined to one body, so we would ask you to do the same. If you're not okay with this restriction, we can try to come up with another limitation. (The exception being while he's traveling on winds - but more on that below.)
2 - Traveling on the winds - Everyone with fast travel has a limit as to how far they can go. For Manwë I'd be okay saying around 11 to 13 days worth of foot travel per day, unburdened. (So one day Manwë travels on winds, he goes as far as a normal person goes in 13 days. With a passenger or something heavy, keep it between 6 and 7 days.) His form can change while he's using wind travel. (bird, cloud, or something like that) As an example, Deepwood to Lond Daer is 10 days.
3 - Eru being blocked off from him sounds great!
4 - Strength - we'll trust you to keep this reasonable.
Throrondor He would be considered a non-essential animal companion co claim (wow that's a mouthful!) which means he counts as your two characters for the month, and would be the 4th character on your character total. You would be able to use him independently and have an additional username if you wish. He can fly at a similar rate to Manwë.
Finally, some questions!
I'm wondering how you envision mastery over birds working in game, can you tell me more about how you want to use that? Also, do you intend to use this potentially for bird player characters or character's pets? If so, we would need a Power-opt in post for that.
In canon there's a thing about while Varda and Manwë are together their sight and hearing is enhanced or whatnot. Were you going to use this at all? (assuming you're in contact with the Varda player, whose claim is pending?)
