QuestionText:	2 imprinting questions!<br><br>1. Is physical touch absolutely required to imprint? What if two characters develop a deep emotional bond without touching?<br>2. If two characters have come to the game from the same world, and have a very close bond in that world, are they sort of auto-heavy-imprinted once they make contact with each other in Karteria? Or does it still build up from nothing, gradually over time, the same as if they were strangers?

AnswerText:	1. We're gonna say that physical touch is <i>not</i> necessarily require in the event that characters have developed a deeply emotional bond. Physical touch <i>helps</i>, and some characters (such as [https://kelesis.dreamwidth.org/6083.html?thread=7860931#cmt7860931 characters who don't really like each other] but who imprint over a mutual connection/interest/etc) may need the physical contact to help move along the formation of their imprint. Feel free to play with this as is suitable in your character's threads to make it both fulfilling and substantial!<br><br>2. Two characters coming from the same canon & having a close bond from that canon... It doesn't automatically start as an imprint. But those two characters will have a chemistry that ignites quite readily, and this chemistry can be seen via Patho-Gen's machinery. Use the machines to force characters to acknowledge feelings they might have for each other, even if not yet imprinted! Characters who have a deep chemistry back home but haven't formally imprinted in Karteria may be faced with the reality that they feel strongly for one another, but that their "readings" aren't synchronized <i>until</i> they imprint. This will be interesting to Patho-Gen; they may attempt to coax the two members to engage in known methods of instigating an imprint, such as sharing like experiences or hand-holding. These characters may find that the imprint comes easily and, as soon as it's established, it's quite strong from the get-go.
