Was kicking around an idea with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
edg the other day, and I think it's finally gotten solid enough to at least try to make it make sense. So.
Symphonically Aware humans can learn some Songs, take Servitor Attunements and Distinctions, and even Choir/Band Attunements under limited circumstances. However, for most Soldiers, the latter three rewards are difficult to get, while the available Songs are a big help, they're usually never going to reach the level of proficiency in them of even an average Celestial. After a few hundred years of studying this problem, some Superiors realized that it might be worthwhile to try and create Attunements especially for human souls, as a reward between a new Song and a Servitor Attunement or the equivalent.
Not all Archangels have Soldier Attunements, and only a very few Demon Princes bothered to 'waste' the time to create them. Generally, a Prince has more spare Band Forces to graft to a successful Soldier, anyway. On Heaven's side, Jean considers the entire process to be inefficient, and Jordi doesn't trust humans not to abuse them. Of all the Superiors, only Laurence has multiple Soldier Attunements, reflecting the diversity of Soldiers in Heaven's army. All Soldier Attunements are restricted /to/ Soldiers, Saints, and Undead; they were specially crafted for the human soul, and don't 'stick' well to Celestials.
Superiors do not generally give out Soldier Attunements to humans serving other Words than their own. While an Attunement for your own Superior (or Laurence) only costs 5 CP, one for another Superior should cost twice that, and have a very good IC reason for it.
I only have a couple worked out at the moment, as a
Blandine
Soldiers of Dreams cause only half the Disturbance that they normally would, rounded down, when operating on the Corporeal plane. Single points of Disturbance are masked by the Symphony completely.
Novalis
Soldiers of Flowers can, for two Essence, create an aura of calm and tranquility similar to Ethereal Harmony. Treat as a successful singing of that Song, with an effective CD equal to the Soldier's Corporeal Forces, plus any additional Essence spent.
Michael
Soldiers of War are difficult to put down. They can take twice the normal amount of damage in Body Hits before being stunned, and only take half damage from stunning weapons.
Laurence
Soldiers of the Sword, when in pursuit of righteous goals, can borrow a little of the glory of Heaven. With this Attunement, the Soldier gains +1 limited Charisma (aura of authority), which is active when commanding people in a fight, or in direct pursuit of a mission from Heaven. This can take total Charisma above the +3 limit.
Eli
Soldiers of Creation with this attunement earn two Essence from the once-a-day 'Rite' of successfully using a skill which they know at level 6, provided that skill is a crafting or creative skill of some sort (and yes, Lying counts).
As always, comments and criticisms are much appreciated. :)

I'm not really sure how well it works, speaking practically, but...it's an idea that appeals to me. Needs more work, though, I think. :)
