The reason I'm asking this question is mostly to gauge how other people view teleportation. Can your character teleport every day? Multiple times a day? Do you actually RP it having an adverse physical impact on your body?
Also curious whether anyone plays a character who simply cannot teleport.
My character Cecilia is a mage and teleports as often and easily as breathing since she has practice manipulating aether and has very extensive personal aether reserves. My character Ryoko is a lancer from Doma and has no experience with aether manipulation. She can teleport occasionally but it leaves her feeling woozy and sick to her stomach for about 30 min. As a result she hates it.
