The problem here is we have no resources except you for this, so when you leave out details, it becomes something that needs to be addressed.
I agree that I may not have been clear in the application, as I've already said and apologized for. But... bringing it up an entire year later? It's been twelve months and eighteen days since Sefton has been in the game, and this is the first I've heard of this.
In that case, has Sefton only feel constant, pure passionate love? Because that seems to be the only way that the attraction could work if the only way to repel works by undying hate.
No, he does not constantly feel love. The point is that is what he first learned to do was love, and so that was the direction the switch was first flipped. Because of that, his power remains at that position. His power is constantly at one extreme or the other - if he can't activate the opposite power, it remains at the original side.
Think of it this way: even if he feels dislike for something, it's like pulling the big lever down, down, toward the other end, but unless you get it to the bottom and it clicks in place, it'll just spring back to the original setting.
And frankly, if you make it out that your character can't hate, then you're disregarding the idea of the repelling effect and we go back to square one. You also make it sound like there's a lot of hoops to go through to break off the attraction or to bring up the repel. Again, this would have been addressed if we knew.
Never have I said that he can't hate, simply that he has never been in a position where he would truly feel it. I'll say it again, I would love for a plot to happen that would force Sefton to confront this. It's just not happened in a way that I could realistically see Sefton coming into it yet.
I think what would be best is if you allowed for some development in the way the repel works. All this forcing doesn't seem very fair when characters can change and grow.
Just to reiterate, I never said I wouldn't allow development. Magic A is Magic A, but I'm all for having something tip him over into some major emotional crisis to lead into that development.
I know you're going to comment on some of this with rebuttals but we're talking about the application and how the character was presented to us versus how you play him.
I've apologized for my lack of clarity. I have apologized and there is nothing left I can do aside from move forward. Please, Kisha, I don't need to hear that the application doesn't line up with how I play him, either now or in the past. I would like to hear what I may be doing wrong in how I've developed him to this point while he's been on the Plane, or ways you could suggest for his growth to happen instead of saying it needs to.
He's had a hard life and it seems hard to think he wouldn't have felt hate once in his entire life so far. Regular people, normal people living normal lives, have felt hate, so going through all that, why wouldn't he have at least once, enough to trigger the polarising aspects?
The only hardness of his life has been within the last two years, which he considers to be his own doing since he was the one that ran away in the first place. The first fourteen years or so of his life were great because his power made sure he had extremely loving parents and good friends.
