> show spoilerhide spoiler > Adrinai Telasai > > Class: Paladin (non-deistic) > Species: Elf > Alignment: Neutral Good > > Equipment > > Armor: Adrinai has a full set of crimson plate armor, although he rarely wears the entire suit. He usually only wears heavy bracers, gauntlets, a set of greaves, and plate boots. The armor is made from a mithral/steel alloy. While no stronger than steel, it is considerably lighter, allowing him to wear the armor without unduly hampering his racially-enhanced mobility. The armor is otherwise non-magical. > > Shield: Adrinai's heater shield measures one and a half feet wide and three feet long, coming to a point at the bottom. The shield bears his family's heraldic display, as he has no chosen god to announce despite being a paladin. The shield weighs roughly 10 pounds, being wrought from same mithral/steel alloy as his armor. It possesses a small gnomish engineering modification in the form of quick release buckles, activated by a button set into the top of the shield's handle. While his shield has no magical properties of its own it can be enhanced with his Shielding Aura and various Seals, as described below. The shield also has a bladed "stamp" on the back, which Adrinai can use to quickly inscribe a Seal of Blood into his skin. For the purposes of Adrinai's abilities that affect shields and weapons, his heater shield does not count as a weapon. > > Gnomish Buckler: Adrinai's buckler, which he wears strapped to his dominant hand, is a piece of Gnomish engineering. While it normally appears and functions as a normal steel buckler, Adrinai can use his thumb to manipulate a pair of switches on the handle of the buckler that can cause either a curved blade to form from the leading edge of the buckler, extending only slightly beyond the original curve of the shield as the metal thins out to form the blade, or a 6" spike to protrude from the center of it. Both the blade and the spike are formed from an arcane-infused metal known as Livesteel, which can be crafted to have both a dormant and active form that is toggled with a current of tuned arcane energy. While dormant, the two weapons merely appear to be a part of the buckler. For the purposes of Adrinai's abilities that affect shields and weapons, the Gnomish buckler can count as both a shield and a weapon. > > Weapons: Adrinai carries a one-handed arming sword (30 inches, 2 pounds) and a one-handed round-headed mace (36 inches, 4 pounds) with him, although he would only choose to use them over the buckler for his dominant-hand weapon under special circumstances. The sword has a wide pommel guard and gems set at both the base of the hilt and up the center of the sword itself. The mace is less decorated but no less dangerous. It is a simple wooden rod wrapped in cloth for ease of grip, ending in a large round steel ball. Neither weapon is magical, but they can serve as conduits for Adrinai's divine energy. > > Elven Abilities > > Elven Agility > Elves have dexterity and reaction times that would seem supernatural to a normal human. For a trained fighter, such speed would be recognized as being beyond mundane peak human potential, although not by a significant margin. This speed comes at the cost of reduced physical strength and hardiness. He is still stronger than an average, untrained human, but is weaker than an ordinary human fighter and much weaker than the peak human specimens that would enter this fighting tournament, despite having reached the limits of Elven physical strength. Similarly, his bones and organs are more fragile than a human’s. Adrinai's use of heavier armor is considered unusual by Elven standards because it limits his ability to take advantage of his natural agility, but he considers it a fair tradeoff for shoring up his natural lack of durability. > > Arcane Sight > A small fraction of Elves possess the ability to see arcane energies without the aid of any magic or technology. Adrinai is one such elf. He can see the flow of magic around active spells, magical equipment, or spells that are in the process of being cast. The general exceptions to this are illusion and some enchantment spells whose usefulness depends entirely on people's ignorance of the existence of the spell; spells such as these, by their very nature, layer magic atop themselves to hide themselves from Arcane Sight and require more specialized means of detection. > > Divine Sight > While not technically a separate ability from Arcane Sight, Adrinai's ability to see divine energy in the same way that other Sighted Elves can see arcane is entirely unique. Adrinai developed and cultivated the sensitivity to divine energy over many years, and it is this ability to see the very flow of the divine that allows him to tap into and siphon off some of that energy for himself to power his Paladin abilities without having a divine patron of his own. > > Paladin Abilities > > Inner Radiance: Adrinai draws in divine energy by syphoning from the conduit of power that allows deities to grant abilities to their chosen, as well as latent, omnipresent divine energy that is the result of the divine spark within all sentient beings. Because his divine energy is restoring at a slow but consistent rate, his powers are limited by how much energy he can take in at once versus how much he outputs, rather than relying on a depletable store of energy. His energy level at any given time can be measured on a scale of 0 to 4. > > 0 - Flickering > 1 - Weak > 2 - Moderate > 3 - Strong > 4 - Intense > > Likewise, Adrinai’s abilities can be measured by how much they deplete his Inner Radiance, whether as a continuous upkeep for as long as the ability is active or for a period of time after using an instantaneous ability or short-term buff. Normally, Adrinai cannot go below Flickering Inner Radiance, but suffers no ill effects for being at Flickering. > > Overdraw As a last-ditch effort, Adrinai can manifest a Seal (but not a Touch) that would put him below Flickering Inner Radiance. If he does so, he is drawing on his personal divine essence, which amounts to tapping his own life force to make up the difference. At the end of the post in which Adrinai uses Overdraw, all of his passive abilities immediately shut off, and any buffs with remaining duration end prematurely. Additionally, beginning with the following post, Adrinai experiences Divine Withdrawal, as his body and soul turn their energy inward to keep his divine spark from going out completely, which results in vertigo, physical stiffness, and intense headaches that make both movement and concentration difficult. This persists for one post per level of Inner Radiance below Flickering that the seal used would have brought him to. For the duration of Divine Withdrawal, Adrinai cannot manifest any abilities, even those that would have no Inner Radiance cost. Beginning with the post on which Adrinai first recovers from Divine Withdrawal, he begins to generate a surplus of Inner Radiance once again, setting his maximum Inner Radiance to Flickering and allowing him to use zero-upkeep abilities again. For each post after that, his maximum Inner Radiance increases by another level until he recovers to Intense and his abilities function normally again. > > AURAS > Adrinai’s Auras are generally minor effects, most of which have no upkeep cost. Adrinai’s Auras affect both himself and his allies, although he must designate such allies when he activates the Aura, and must lower the Aura and raise it again in order to change who the Aura affects. A single Aura costs the listed upkeep, while each additional Aura that he chooses to maintain adds one more level of Inner Radiance cost to the listed upkeep than the previous Aura. It takes Adrinai no time to raise an Aura, but one full post to lower one. > > Courageous Aura: This aura will affect Adrinai and any allies that he designates within thirty feet of him. Those affected by this aura will have their minds steeled against fear and the dangers of combat. They will be undaunted by numerical disadvantage, gruesome or powerful foes, and will even gain significant resistance to magical effects that cause or play upon a person's fears. > Upkeep: None (0) > > Coordination Aura: This aura will affect Adrinai and any allies that he designates within thirty feet. Everyone affected by the aura is made aware of the positions of their allies as well as the position of any other creatures that anyone in the aura can see. The allies are also made aware of any significant terrain features that any member of the group can see. > Upkeep: None (0) > > Light Aura: A physical manifestation of the divine light that Adrinai channels, he creates a glowing aura as a strong torch out to 30 feet. The light generates no heat unless he wills it so, in which case he himself will feel no cold at any naturally occurring temperature, and his allies within the aura will feel as if they are in the presence of a warm campfire. The aura will not fully protect him from magic that freezes or chills, but it can mitigate the effects somewhat and allow him to recover more quickly. > Upkeep: None (0) > > Mystical Aura: An aura only possible as a result of Adrinai's melding of his racial ability to see magical auras and his manipulation of divine energy, this aura allows the supernatural effects of Adrinai and his allies within 30 feet to function normally even in areas that are affected by any form of anti-magic. This does not allow magic to affects creatures or objects that are warded against magic, but merely being in an anti-magic zone or within a creature’s anti-magic aura has no effect upon Adrinai and his designated allies. Because anti-magic has to suppress all forms of magic, whereas this Aura is designed to subvert a very specific effect, the Mystical Aura itself is not subject to anti-magic effects or counterspelling of any sort, even those that are not area or aura based, and can be activated after being affected by anti-magic. > Upkeep: Weak (1) > > Wards > Wards represent a variety of passive defensive effects that are generally more powerful than Auras but that can only be applied to the Paladin or his equipment. Similarly to Auras, one Ward costs the listed upkeep to maintain. Each additional Ward costs the listed upkeep plus one additional level of Inner Radiance per previously maintained Ward. It takes Adrinai no time to raise a Ward, but one full post to lower one. > > Shield Ward: This Ward affects the shield that the paladin carries. If he is not currently using a piece of equipment that would be considered a shield, the Ward has no effect. The Ward reinforces the shield against magical and energy-based attacks, allowing it to convert non-kinetic attacks that strike the shield directly into an amount of kinetic energy proportional to the destructiveness of the spell that can then be blocked as normal, with a commensurate amount of recoil. There exist spells so potent that, even once converted to kinetic energy, they could destroy the shield and likely the paladin behind it, but only truly legendary spells could cause that much damage. While under the Ward, the shield will also not count as a part of the paladin for the purpose of spells that require direct contact with the subject, or "touch spells". Finally, in addition to the defense against magical attacks, the shield will also not conduct non-magical electricity, heat, or cold (beyond the temperature of the environment) while affected by this aura. > Upkeep: Weak (1) > > Mind Ward: This Ward creates a barrier against harmful effects that are purely mental in nature. Mental domination and compulsion (including sleep spells, or any spell that dictates the paladin's actions against his will) will not affect the paladin, nor will the paladin be deceived by illusions implanted into his mind. In the case of illusions, the paladin is still aware of the illusion so that he may react as he chooses to it, but he will be fully aware of its illusory nature and see the truth that it conceals. Unless a mental effect specifically prohibits it (such as being dominated and ordered not to use any abilities), the paladin can switch to this ward after the mental attack begins to break the effect. > Upkeep: Weak (1) > > Reflecting Ward: This Ward can only affect a small surface, and Adrinai's gnomish buckler was specifically crafted with the dimensions of this Ward in mind. When applied to his buckler, Adrinai can intercept magical and non-kinetic attacks and reflect them in the direction that he aims the buckler. For any such attacks that are lobbed or thrown, Adrinai can only reflect them with the amount of force that he strikes the projectile with, whereas attacks that are beams, bullets, etc, will be reflected at the same velocity that they struck the buckler at. If such an ability has a distance limitation, the distance is reset upon being reflected, allowing it to potentially reach the originator of the ability even if the total round trip would be longer than its normal maximum distance. If the ability applies to an area larger than the buckler can block, only the portion that contacts the buckler will be reflected. The rest will affect the area as normal. > Upkeep: Moderate (2) > > SEALS > The "spells" of Adrinai's arsenal, Seals provide temporary boosts to his combat abilities or an instantaneous effect, and consume an amount of divine energy proportional to their effect. He can activate a seal at will, and it begins taking effect immediately, but its duration also begins to run down immediately as well. Seals do not have an upkeep, but rather lower Adrinai’s Inner Radiance by their listed value for a duration that is independent of the duration of the Seal’s effect. The post in which the Seal is used counts toward the duration of both the effect and the Inner Radiance cost. This forces Adrinai to carefully choose which abilities to use and how often in order to also be able to balance the upkeep of his Wards and Auras with the tactical options that his Seals represent. Careless use of Seals can leave him with no reserves for a tough situation or, even worse, force him to Overdraw his Inner Radiance to get out of a crisis and leaving him highly vulnerable afterward. > > *Shieldbearer:* > Adrinai can summon one or both of his shields onto his arm(s), buckled into place and ready for use. This can be done even if a shield is in someone else’s possession, provided that the current possessor of his shield doesn’t have a means to prevent teleportation magic. If he uses this ability on both of his shields, double both the cost and duration. > Cost: Weak (1) for 1 post > > *Flash:* > A seal appears on the front of the paladin's shield, although it is rarely seen as the shield will at the same time give off a burst of light in a cone in front of him. The light is bright enough to render anyone in close proximity that is looking at it blind for a few seconds as their vision goes white and gradually returns. > Cost: Weak (1) for 2 posts > SPECIAL: The cost is merely to manifest light energy that Adrinai passively converts from Inner Radiance over time. It takes Adrinai an independent cooldown of 4 posts to store up enough energy for another Flash, or 5 posts if his Light Aura is active at any point during the cooldown, as the Light Aura siphons from the same converted light energy as Flash. > > *Farshield:* > A seal appears on the front of the paladin's shield and persists for one post. A ghostly image of the shield appears at a point of the paladin's choosing within 30 feet, and moves as his shield moves while deflecting attacks as his shield would. His shield can block anything that he would be able to block if he was at the Farshield’s location, including preventing an opponent from moving through the shield’s location, but Adrinai also experiences the recoil of anything that he blocks as if it had struck his physical shield, meaning that attempting to use Farshield to block a charging opponent can potentially cause Adrinai himself to be knocked over. If a Ward affects his shield, the Farshield is affected as well. > Cost: Weak (1) for 2 posts > > *Deflection:* > A seal appears on the front of the paladin's shield that lasts for 2 seconds, usually only long enough to block a single attack. During that time, any kinetic impact that is blocked by the shield is deflected away by a violent burst of recoil. The shield itself is unaffected by this recoil. This ability cannot be combined with his Shielding Ward to negate the force of spells blocked by the Ward. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 3 posts > SPECIAL: Should this Seal attempt to affect an attack that is itself supernaturally prevented from being blocked or redirected, an alternate ability is activated instead. Adrinai will immediately feel the feedback from the Seal, making him aware that the alternate ability is activating, at which point he can choose a direction, and the Seal will send him flying in that direction at high speed, potentially getting him out of harm’s way. > > *Bubble:* > A seal appears on the front of the paladin's shield that persists for one post. During that time, the shield projects a "bubble" radiating out from the shield and curving back toward the paladin. The Bubble will block area-based effects such as dragon's breath or an explosion. A pinpoint attack such as a thrown knife, melee strike, or magic missile will pierce the Bubble as if it wasn't there, although the Bubble won't be dispelled until the duration ends. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 3 posts > > *Divine Might:* > A seal appears on the paladin's left and right bicep that persist for two seconds (generally a single action within a single post). During that time, he is given great physical strength throughout his entire body. The divine essence reinforces his muscles and bones to protect him from the strain of using that strength. The divine might granted allows him to perform such feats as flipping a car or overpowering an ogre, albeit generally for only a single action. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 3 posts > > *Smite* > A seal appears on Adrinai's weapon, or his gauntleted fist if he is not holding a weapon, that persists for 3 posts. Adrinai must focus on smiting a specific target when he activates this seal, and the benefits only apply to that target. For the duration of the seal, any attack that hits the target ignores any inherent damage reduction or immunity that they may have that are the result of supernatural effects or the result of being a supernatural race, and halts any regeneration or fast healing abilities that they may have for the duration. For example, Adrinai could stab or strike a stone elemental and affect the creature as if he was striking flesh, and such a creature would not be able to regenerate from the attack until the Seal lapsed. When the Seal would lapse at the end of a post, Adrinai can choose ahead of time to pay the cost again at the beginning of his next post and continue the effect, renewing the duration starting with his following post and preventing an injured target from healing in the intervening period. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 3 posts > > *Blood* > The paladin's most powerful seal, it is the only one that doesn't manifest itself merely by the paladin's will. He must carve the symbol into his skin (Adrinai has a bladed "stamp" on the back of his shield to hasten this) and then focus divine energy on it. At that point, it will glow with holy light as any other Seal. The Seal of Blood grants the Paladin's weapon the might of the ancient weapons of lore. For two posts, his weapon will radiate a glowing aura of its own from its striking surface. Any time the weapon strikes, it will let out a thunderclap of divine energy, slamming with far more force than the wielder himself put into the attack. Under the power of this Seal, armor will crack and shatter, shields with be thrown back, weapons will be blown out of the wielder's hands, and bones will suffer much the same effect as armor. Every time the weapon strikes and makes use of the Seal, the Blood Seal inscribed on the paladin will emit divine-infused blood, glowing pearly white as it shoots from the self-inflicted wound. The paladin will suffer internal damage every time he strikes, facing hemorrhage and eventually organ failure if he overuses the Seal. He can, of course, heal the damage as normal, but doing so is tricky given his limited Inner Radiance reserves and the cost and duration of his healing Touches, outlined below. > Cost: Strong (3) for 4 posts > > TOUCHES > The final manifestation of divine energy is the channeling of it in its purest form. When used in this way, it can heal the sick and wounded, harm undead, and even return life to the newly deceased. This all comes at a cost of divine energy, of course. He requires only a second of focus to mold the divine energy to this purpose, and once expended the effects occur over a period of five seconds. Although they are called "Touches", Adrinai can also channel the abilities through his weapon. When used for healing, doing so doesn't negate the harmful properties of being struck with a weapon. The downside to using raw divine energy in this way is that it depletes his Inner Radiance for a very long time, and it would always be far more efficient to mitigate damage using his other abilities than to heal it after the fact, as even relatively minor healing effects can leave his Inner Radiance suppressed and his optioned reduced or removed for a very long time. > > *Mending Touch* > Adrinai channels a small amount of divine energy, which can heal cuts and bruises or damage the unholy essence of the undead, destroying weak incorporeals and injuring and slowing weak physical undead. > Cost: Weak (1) for 8 posts > > *Healing Touch* > Adrinai channels a moderate amount of divine energy. It can set and mend a broken (but not shattered) bone or cure deep cuts or serious bruises, as well as other forms of physical damage such as burns and frostbite. When channeled into an undead, it can destroy weak undead, especially those of the mindless variety, and harm more powerful unholy beings. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 8 posts > > *Purifying Touch* > Adrinai channels divine energy, which purges a living recipient of illness, poison, and disease. When used against an undead with a harmful aura or that can convey disease or sickness at a touch (such as mummy rot or vampiricism), the ability to convey such disease is dispelled for up to a 10 posts. > Cost: Moderate (2) for 10 posts > > *Holy Touch* > Adrinai uses divine energy to break curses, geasses, and other magical ailments afflicting a living target. The most powerful forms of curse can't be broken entirely, but can be suppressed for up to five minutes. > Cost: Strong (3) for 10 posts > > *Saving Touch* > Adrinai uses a substantial amount of divine energy to heal the most grievous of wounds, repairing failed organs, rebuilding shattered bones, reattaching (but not regrowing) severed limbs, and replacing lost blood. Against undead, this will obliterate weak undead and severely injure all but the most powerful manifestations of undeath. > Cost: Strong (3) for 8 posts > > *Reviving Touch* > Using a massive amount of divine energy, Adrinai restores life to the recently deceased. Once the soul has departed the body after a few minutes, the paladin can do nothing for them. This spell will heal that which caused their death, repair the body enough to sustain life, and then give a divine "shock" to reattach body and soul and cause the body to begin functioning again. Against undead, even powerful beings such as mummies, vampires, and liches should fear the divine might of this Touch, as it can grievously harm even them. > Cost: Intense (4) for 10 posts > Special: Normally, only Seals can be used with the Overdraw ability, but this Touch can be used with Overdraw provided it is being used to restore life to another person.

The stream makes it stronger, and in turn, she becomes stronger. > > It cannot be seen by the naked eye except during special circumstances (Shin Battle-Pixie Mode, Hype abilities, and during :Kappa: ). It cannot be detected unless the individual is trained in sensing auras. It is not a “spell”, so silence and de-spell themed abilities will have no effect on it. The energy is spiritual, but doesn't belong to any 'element'. > > While visible, it gives the appearance of white flames but generates no heat. It creates light equal to a flame of its size (which varies from 10% to 30% larger than her body depending on her mood). Occasionally the aura may make sounds or cause physical disturbances, though the effects of this are negligible. > > When Rox has been pushed to her limits, the Battle Aura may shatter. Once this happens, Rox will instantly revert back to her original self and lose ALL benefits she receives from the aura. She becomes a regular human woman. It takes at least 6 hours (so, more than an entire round) for her aura to restore itself. During that time she cannot transform. > > Rox must be conscious to benefit from the effects of her aura. > > DENIED! > show spoilerhide spoilerTo defend against particularly strong attacks, Rox may further intensify her aura while she focuses to defend. This creates a barrier that projects a dome large enough to completely shield her body from the front (think the push-block effect in a fighting game). While in her non-transformed state or in Battle Pixie-Mode, she may block one attack before the barrier goes into recovery mode (10 posts). > > When Rox is in Super or Shin Battle Pixie-Mode, she is able to block two attacks in this manner. Each block causes this ability to go into recovery mode in order to rebuild to its two-charge maximum. Blocking before recovery mode is completed (if she has a charge remaining) will reset the timer. For instance, Rox blocks a fireball, expending a charge. The 10 post recovery mode will begin. 7 posts later, Rox must block another fireball. She still has another charge so she spends it, resetting the current timer back to 10 and starting a new recovery mode. It will now take 20 posts of Rox not using her barrier to restore both charges (10 to gain each charge). She may still use charges as she gets them, but the recovery timer will always reset. > > If Rox decides to use “Denied!” to block an attack when she has no charges remaining, her aura will shatter. She will still be protected as before, but afterwards she loses her transformation. While shattered, her barrier does NOT go into recovery mode until she is able to transform again (6 hours later). > > “Denied!” offers 3 tiers of protection. > > Tier 1: Against an attack that costs considerably less than this ability (IE: something the opponent can reasonably use more than twice over a 20 post period), Rox experiences no knock-back forces from the attack. Elemental effects are extinguished (if possible), or simply splash off of the barrier. Projectiles can be swatted aside DBZ style or ricochet off. She will receive negligible damage. > > Tier 2: Against an attack with comparable cost to this ability (IE: stuff that doesn't fit in the above category), Rox experiences at least half of the knock-back forces. Elemental effects are dampened to levels a regular human could withstand and still keep fighting. Face-melting heat will manifest as blisters and second degree burns, lightning will stun, but not cause severe burns or stop her heart, excessive kinetic forces will cause bruises and micro-fractures etc etc. > > Tier 3: Against ultimate abilities (IE: stuff with multi-fight cooldowns, single use abilities with costly drawbacks or setups, basically an opponent's strongest move), Rox dons plot-armor. Elemental, kinetic, knock-backs and other status effects are reduced just enough in severity for Rox to hang on. She will absolutely be in horrible condition afterwards, but it’s guaranteed that she’ll be an annoyance for a few more posts before passing out in dramatic fashion. In cases where tanking an attack will destroy her, she'll be protected enough to not be mortally wounded. > > There are some exceptions. Things her barrier would not be effective against (as listed in the “Limits” section below) are also not affected by “Denied!”. Excessive kinetic forces (Like very high-velocity bullet-like projectiles, being hit by a car, and a big dude swinging a war-hammer to name a few.) even though they could occur at relatively little cost, fall under Tier 2. Tier 3 can also be possible depending on how ridiculous the source is (IE: high-explosives or a plane crash). > > When Rox FIRST transforms into Super Battle-Pixie mode and Shin Battle-Pixie Mode, she immediately gains 1 “Denied!” charge if she’s not already at maximum. If this does not place her at max charges, the recovery mode of the remaining charge is not reset. Rox always starts a fight with the maximum amount of charges allowed for her current transformation. > > If Rox drops below Super Battle-Pixie mode, she immediately loses her second charge. > > Hype Effect - <Name TBD>: For one post, the next attack Rox blocks will be treated as Tier 1. Attacks that fall within Tier 3 are still treated as such. This will consume 1 charge. If Rox has no charges, she can still use this ability without her aura shattering. Any recovery mode timers are reset. > > :Kappa: Effect: None. > > Notes: Rox can only project the dome from her arms and legs as she needs to make a traditional blocking action to activate it. The exception to this is when she’s in Shin Battle-Pixie Mode. In that case she can project the barrier from anywhere on her body, allowing her to do things like stand motionlessly to face-tank someone’s fist or slow-walk through weak fireballs. > Weapons Poll > show spoilerhide spoilerRox starts a stream poll to decide her weapon for the round. The weapon with the most votes (sometimes I’ll RNG, sometimes I’ll just pick it, depends on the mood and the fight) after 10 seconds (about 1 post) will spawn into existence. She may start another weapons poll every 10 posts and must get rid of her current weapon (if any) before spawning another. Any weapon Rox creates in this manner will persist until it is either destroyed or despawned. While anyone can wield her weapons, only Rox may use their special properties. > > Weapons will generally spawn in her hands, or as close to her as possible without clipping through objects or people. They will not spawn in a position to be used as an attack (IE: her spear spawning above someone to fall down and stab them). They can spawn in convenient places, however (IE: just within reach while she’s immobile). If for some reason it’s absolutely not possible for her weapons to spawn, then they will be delayed until such a moment IS possible. > > If Rox is forced out of her transformation completely, her weapons will despawn and the Weapons Poll cooldown is cleared. > > The weapon choices are: Spear And Shield, RPG, and The Hands. > Hype > show spoilerhide spoilerUnder certain conditions Rox builds meter. Once filled, she gains access to various special abilities. Each ability will completely deplete the meter on use. What she can do exactly depends on her current weaponry and her general creativity. > > Charge Rates: > > Defensive Actions: > > Dodges: 0% > Blocks: 10% > Verbal insults or taunts from opponents: 20% > Being called “Roxy” by an opponent: 20% (per instance) > Being Hit by an opponent (enough to bruise, draw blood, or produce significant pain): 25% > Heavy Injury sustained (something that will leave a sizeable scar, or cause other non-trivial damage without immediate medical care): 50% (overrides being hit) > > Offensive Actions: > > Misses: 0% > Partial or blocked hits on an opponent: 10% > Hits on opponent: 20% (overrides partial hits and blocks) > > Notes: Multiple events may charge up Rox's Hype meter in a single post, but they must be different types. IE: an insult, a hit, and a block. Three blocks in a post won’t gain 30% Hype. The exception comes with being called “Roxy”. Every instance of an opponent she is fighting calling her that will net her 20% Hype. If someone decides to call her Roxy 5 times in one post, it WILL charge the entire thing! > > Once used, the Hype meter will not begin to recharge until 10 posts have passed. She must be in at least Super-Battle Pixie mode to build hype. If she drops to a level below that, all Hype gained is lost. > :Kappa: > show spoilerhide spoilerRox calls upon all of her streamers to spam the :Kappa: emoji and grant her the power needed to defeat her foes! For every post she manages to channel :Kappa:, it grows stronger. While collecting :Kappa:, she can not attack or use any abilities. The protection provided by her battle aura is reduced due to the fact that it remains in its passive state. > > Like Hype, :Kappa: allows Rox to perform various special abilities depending on what weapon she's using. :Kappa: has a maximum of 3 levels. Levels are gained in the following ways: > > Undisturbed posing : 1 level per post. > Moving: 0.5 levels per post. > Blocking, attacking, taking hits: 0 levels per post. > > Once the :Kappa: gathering process begins, Rox can only gain levels for 4 posts maximum. She must then use the :Kappa: during the following post or it is wasted. :Kappa: must be at least level 1 to be of any use. All fractional levels are ignored. > > As a special case, if Rox uses :Kappa: of at least level 1 to engage in a power clash (think two powerful abilities smashing into each other), then she may continue to gain :Kappa: levels. :Kappa: gained in this way ignores the 4 post limit and will increase to level 3 at a rate of 1 level per post. Whatever attack she uses to trigger the clash is expended to resolve it (when and how that happens exactly, depends on the opponent). > > Notes: :Kappa: can only be used once per round. Once used, :Kappa: will deplete any built up Hype, but will not put it into cooldown. If Hype is already on cooldown, nothing happens. The Hype meter does not need to be filled to use :Kappa: > Wings > show spoilerhide spoilerFrom Super Battle-Pixie onward, Rox sprouts a pair of butterfly-esque wings. They aren't particularly functional and mainly serve to let everyone know that she has access to a few gravity-defying abilities. > > Air Brake: Rox will slow her descent to non-terminal velocities (to around 3 m/s). She still needs time to decelerate safely, however. The effect lasts up to 2 complete posts or until she stops moving (whichever comes first). Common uses for this ability are to not die from incredibly high falls,“glide” from one location to a lower location, or to slow herself down rapidly after another ability. > > Dash: Rox will suddenly accelerate in a given direction at a speed of up to 15 m/s over a period of 1.5 seconds (part of one post). Common uses for this ability are to dodge, double jump, or close in for an attack. > > Hype Effect - Flight Mode: Rox can fly. The cooldowns for both Dash and Air Brake are reset and she may use them both twice in any order or combination. This effect lasts 2 posts before consuming the Hype meter. > > Notes: Her wings are not physical objects. As such, they can not be grabbed onto or damaged. She can use Air Brake or Dash once each every 5 posts (they do not share cooldowns). She may use them one after the other during the same post as long as they are both off cooldown. Rox can fly unrestricted at 20 m/s. > Pixie Gun > show spoilerhide spoilerRox makes a finger gun (with one or both hands) and uses it to fire a projectile of energy at a target. The projectile travels 25 m/s and dissipates after 25 m. The Blast hits as hard as one of Rox’s punches when fired from one hand, twice that when fired from two. Since her punching power is modified by her strength increases, the attack scales with Rox’s transformations. > Each “blast” takes the form of a ball of white light that bursts on impact. The one-handed version may be fired 3 times consecutively from either a single or alternating hands with a 5 post cooldown. The two-handed version may be fired once with the same cooldown. She has to do one or the other, not both. > > Hype Effect - <Name TBD>: Rox’s pixie gun may now fire 6 (5 one-handed, 1 two-handed) times consecutively over the course of 2 posts. These attacks posses the same power, speed, and range as the original versions. > > :Kappa: Effect - <Name TBD>: Rox will make a two-handed finger gun and point it at a target. As :Kappa: builds, the attack increases in strength. Once fired, a beam of energy moves at 50 m/s for a maximum distance of 50 m. Upon impact, Level 1 is similar to being hit by a sledge hammer. Level 2 is similar to being hit by an even bigger sledge hammer; it matches the max attack power Rox can muster with an unarmed Hype ability (explained further in the “Limits” section). Level 3 is roughly twice as strong as level 2. > > If nothing is hit within 50 m, the beam bursts into white light, producing shockwaves. Objects within a 2 m radius of the beam’s tip will experience a severely dampened version of the above effects (about a third as strong). > > Notes: Rox tends to make “pewpewpew” noises when she shoots. > Smile! > show spoilerhide spoilerRox summons her phone and snaps a quick selfie. If someone is within 1 m of her and looking in the phone’s direction, they will see a blinding flash. The effect lasts only 3-4 seconds, long enough to give Rox some initiative. This effect can be negated by either protective eyewear, or the potential target actually posing for the picture. > > She can do this once every 10 posts. > > Hype Effect - <Name TBD>: Rox will pose as usual and take a picture. In addition to the original effect on someone within 1m of her, any projectile attacks that are not directly attached to, or held by the attacker are slowed significantly to allow Rox time to avoid them. The duration of this ability is the post that the selfie took place. After that, the attack returns to normal. > > In order the be successful, the offending object must be within 2 m of her AND be part of the resulting picture. The entire object does not have to be in the picture, only part of it. > > If the “attack” is some type of explosion or area effect spell that is not directly attached to the attacker (this doesn’t work on abilities like a magic whip, chains, force-lightning, or whatever...), the entire thing will be slowed so Rox can dive away from it action-hero style. Obviously something too fast for Rox to pose with and photograph on reaction is unaffected. > > :Kappa: Effect: None. > Her Finest Moment > show spoilerhide spoilerThe absolute of Rox's resolve. Her desire to not disappoint her fans, even in the face of insurmountable odds, propels her to greater heights. For the next 5 posts Rox gains the following buffs: > > -She will ignore the effects of pain and fatigue. > > -Any abilities on cooldown are immediately refreshed with the exception of :Kappa: and the “Denied!” recovery mode. > > -The Hype Bar is infinite. > > -Rox will gain 1 :Kappa: level per post up to its level 3 maximum regardless of what she’s doing. > > -She can freely cycle between her weapons. She is still limited to one at a time and it takes a full post to despawn/spawn another. The Pixie-Launcher can only be reloaded once by using its hype effect. > > -EMPs and High-Voltage Electricity will not disrupt her internet connection. > > After the 5 posts are up, her aura will shatter and she reverts back to her regular self (level 0). Whether or not she can continue fighting depends entirely on her state before she was pushed into using this ability. Regardless, if she does continue fighting, it will be as an unpowered and incredibly fatigued regular human. > > This ability will only trigger if Rox’s Stream Level is 4. > > Hype Effect: All hype effects have 0 cost, but may each be used only once. Multiple hype effects may be used simultaneously provided there is reasonable time to do so. > > :Kappa: Effect - <PIXIE HAMMER!>: While in this state, Rox will continuously draw :Kappa: from her stream channel, gaining 1 level per post up to level 3 regardless of what she’s currently doing. While this happens, her battle aura will increase in intensity. Once she reaches level 3, she will be able to summon the strongest weapon in her arsenal, The Pixie Hammer. She can instead use her other Kappa abilities before then, but it’s highly unlikely that she would choose to do so. > > > The Pixie-Hammer resembles a typical fantasy mallet/warhammer hybrid that’s a little over a meter long. It’d probably weigh 15 kg if it were a “normal” weapon. But it is not. It’s more like a manifestation of Rox’s determination and her stream’s desire to troll the **** out of whoever she’s attacking with it. Furthermore, in spite being a :Kappa: attack, the Pixie-Hammer only has a Level 3. > > Her modified strength at this point allows her to easily wield the hammer, and it’ll do damage equivalent to a person of her modified strength swinging a weapon of its apparent mass (15kg). However, when she chooses to “release” her Kappa in a decisive strike, things get real. > > Anything within 5 m of the impact zone will be having a bad day. Most non-meta humans would be outright killed by a direct hit. As for everyone else, think of someone being strong enough to lift an SUV, and then also being strong enough to powerbomb that SUV onto someone from the top rope of a wrestling ring that’s 3 stories tall. That is what’s happening here. Since this is HoH, Rox will nerf the ability quite a bit. Most of the impact energy is dispersed into the surrounding area (IE: the ground or wall), creating a disproportionate amount of collateral damage. That said, she will still focus enough power into the attack to incapacitate whoever she’s swinging at. She is still aware that there is no killing allowed, and that she shouldn’t harm spectators. > > Notes: This ability is pretty much story mode. It can and will only be used ONCE during HoH. Exactly when and how will depend on tournament shenanigans. Also, after using this ability, Rox’s transformations and strength will no longer be tied to her stream activity, a perk she won’t discover until the HoH finals. If there are matches left and she’s still competing, her transformations will behave as normal. > > The Pixie-Hammer is especially powerful, though keep in mind Rox has to reach what is pretty much the climax of her “story” in order to use it. That, and it definitely requires someone willing to sell it. > EQUIPMENT: > Weapons: > show spoilerhide spoilerPixie-Spear > Length: 2m > Weight: 1.5kg > Durability: The blade and butt-spike are as strong as steel. The shaft is as strong as ash wood. > > Special Ability - <Pixie-Lance>: A blade of energy extends from the tip of her spear up to 2m. It carries with it piercing power equivalent to the spearhead itself. The rate in which the blade extends is similar to how fast she thrusts the weapon. This ability has a 5 post cooldown. > > Hype Effect – <Name TBD>: Rox's spearhead hardens to some impossible degree and ignites in white flames. She then has one post where her next attack will pierce through any material that is not protected by powerful magic or possesses some sort of otherworldly property that makes it immune to such. Mundane equipment will break, special stuff will break if the opponent agrees to it. > > :Kappa: Effect - <Name TBD>: Rox extends her spear to the heavens, imbuing it with the :Kappa: from thousands of streamers. When she attacks, a blade of energy extends (at the same speed as her spear thrust) from the tip of her spear up to 3/4/6 meters at levels 1,2, and 3. The energy blade and the spear tip have the same properties as the above Hype effect. > > Notes: Rox's spear resembles a Dory used by Ancient Greeks. At the base of the blade are two lugs that extend on either side to prevent the spear from stabbing too deeply into a target. At the other end of the shaft is a butt-spike > > Pixie-Shield > Diameter: 60cm > Weight: 6.5kg > Durability: The shield is as strong as steel. > > Special Ability - <Pixie-Impact>: When Rox strikes something with her shield, it emits a force strong enough to push a 75kg object 2m in the opposite direction of the strike. This ability has a 5 post cooldown. > > Hype Effect – <Name TBD>: Rox's shield ignites in white flames. She has 1 post to block an incoming attack. During that post, any attack that would normally destroy or pierce her shield, will not. Also, knock-back effects are cut down to a third. > > :Kappa: Effect: None. > > Notes: Rox's shield is a slightly domed round shield with a small crescent-shaped notch cut out of the top to rest her spear. > > Pixie-Launcher (Nerfed) > Length: 95cm > Weight: 7kg > Muzzle Velocity: 100m/s > Range: 100m > Durability: The same as a regular RPG-7. > > Hype Effect: If the launcher is empty, she will reload it. > > :Kappa: Effect: None. > > Notes: This launcher closely resembles an RPG-7. Since the rules of HoH prohibit the use of actual RPGs, this launcher has been modified to fire weaponized pillows. > > Pixie-Pillow > Size: 50cm x 66cm > Weight: 1 kg > Durability: It's... a pillow. > > Hype Effect – <Name TBD>: When fired the pillow doubles in length, becoming a full-sized body pillow. It is also packed with twice the filling as before (doubles in weight)! If the launcher is empty, she will just reload a regular pillow as mentioned above. This one will not expand when fired. > > :Kappa: Effect: None. > > Notes: This is the typical ammunition fired from the Pixie-Launcher. Upon impact, the pillow explodes into feathers and pixie-dust (AKA glitter). It lacks any sort of aerodynamic design, yet still manages to somehow travel a relatively straight line when fired. It is not really used to deal direct damage, but to create a distraction or temporarily impair someone's vision (as much as feathers and glitter to the face would). > > On impact, it creates a sparkly cloud of feathers and pixie dust that lingers for 2 posts in an area of about 2m in diameter (4m if the “body pillow” is used). > > Pixie-Hands > Size: Small > Weight: 260g > Durability: About as strong as leather. > > Special Ability - <Pixie-Strike>: Her next unarmed strike will be twice as powerful as usual. The attack doesn’t need to come from her hands and can be from any part of her body. So if she wants to booty-bump someone she can, it’ll just be twice as strong. The cooldown for this ability is 5 posts. > > Hype Effect – <Name TBD>: For one post, Rox's next unarmed attack will carry with it a sizable impact. Unlike the special ability, this attack must be either a kick or a punch. The strength of this attack is equal to the maximum detailed in the “Limits” section below. > > :Kappa: Effect - <Name TBD>: None. > > Notes: The Pixie-Hands are sparring gloves that exist for the sole purpose of letting Rox's opponents know that she plans to give them “The Hands”. They provide some protection to her hands as she punches, but her Battle Aura does that anyway. > > Oh, and each successful strike leaves just enough “pixie-dust” residue to be annoying. So yeah, glitter fists! > Misc Equipment > show spoilerhide spoilerPixie-Phone > Size: Typical Smartphone. > Weight: Typical Smartphone. > Durability: Uncanny resistance to cracking and water. The batter life is pretty ridiculous, also. > > Notes: It looks and functions much like a regular smart phone save for its durability. It is also specifically used to activate Rox's transformation. When transformed, the phone disappears from existence unless she “summons” it. If the phone gets damaged or lost, she can just summon a replacement between rounds (which also destroys the original). > > Pixie-Eye > Size: Covers both eyes and her right ear. > Weight: Negligible > Durability: The visor itself is bullet resistant and is highly unlikely to shatter. > > Notes: An augmented reality visor that allows Rox to monitor and interact with her stream channel. It displays information such as the outcome of polls, subscriber/donation notifications, and oftentimes the chat itself. The information is presented in a way that isn't obstructive. If she wants, she can minimize the stream chat to better allow her to focus on the battle. It can also bring up publicly available or personally acquired information about people or objects that she scans. > > Pixie-Stick > Size: 17cm retracted, 80cm fully extended. > Weight: Negligible. > Durability: Same as a regular selfie stick. > > Notes: It looks and behaves like a regular selfie stick, although it's only compatible with the Pixie-Phone. It serves as a vessel for Rox's Battle-Pixie outfit, and disappears entirely during transformations. Like the Pixie-Phone, if the selfie stick is damaged or lost, Rox can summon another between rounds while destroying the original. > > LIMITS: > Base (No Aura) > show spoilerhide spoilerRox keeps herself in peak physical condition. As such, her strength and endurance are considerably higher than average human women of her build, but not quite at the level of a world-class Olympian. She is about as nimble as an experienced martial artist and can perform acrobatic feats that would demand respect from even the most seasoned of free-runners. > Her reaction time is better-than average when compared to other humans her age, though well within the realm of what is considered possible. > > Being 100% human, Rox has no innate special resistances. > Battle-Pixie Mode with Battle Aura > show spoilerhide spoilerIn Shin Battle-Pixie Mode, Rox grains the following effects: > > Strength: A 600% increase. Keep in mind that the aura also scales down each task to what her body can handle. With her current build and training, Base Rox can deadlift 63kg. This increase would allow her to deadlift about 378kg with the same amount of exertion. If she's lifting half the weight, then it'd be the same as her lifting half of that 63kg. > > Reaction Time: A 50% decrease, making her a little slower than a cat. > > Agility: Increases in movement speed are a product of her boosts in strength and reaction time. Given how her mass doesn't change, the increase in strength allows her to jump higher and run faster than any vanilla human could hope to, yet still be well within the realm of sanity. She won't be leaping over multi-storied buildings or outrunning cars. At least, not without creative use of her other abilities. > > Endurance: No direct increase. What the battle aura does do is scale her actions down. Rox can sprint her fastest, jump her highest, lift her heaviest, and punch her hardest for as long as she is able to normally. > > Durability: Passively, Rox's Battle-Aura is evenly distributed all over her body. While blocking or attacking, the aura will concentrate in the relevant areas to aid in either action. This means that if Rox can see a big attack coming and braces herself, she will be well protected. If she is caught unaware or is attacked in an area where her aura is at low concentrations, her protection is minimal. Think of this like a fighting game character. Blocking normally will mitigate damage (with some chip from stronger moves), and getting hit while attacking or in recovery (counter-hits) will allow more damage. > > The primary job of Rox’s Battle-Aura is to act as a special FX generator. It allows Rox to do things like go crashing through solid surfaces or plow throths through the ground after taking a powerful hit. It allows her to stand toe-to-toe with individuals outside of her weight class and still be able to take a punch or two without shattering into pieces. It also serves to mitigate all the insane forces people like to throw around without regard for that “equal but opposite reaction” nonsense Newton bitches about, resulting in minor collateral damage. The higher Rox’s transformation, the more exaggerated these effects become. > > Blunt forces are diverted away from the point of impact with an effectiveness that varies with the aura's concentration. At full concentration, Rox can block the average baseball bat (being swung by a considerably strong dude) hand-to-hand with relatively little injury. Blocking standard punches and kicks will not do much to her unless the individual is also adding secondary effects (such as added kinetic forces from special moves or elemental abilities). > > Abrasions caused by excessive friction (IE: road rash, rope burn, etc...) are highly resisted by even the passive aura, protecting from them about as well as thick leather. Extreme cases (like prolonged exposure to a belt sander or being dragged at high speeds for long distances) will, over the course of a couple posts ramp up to normal unmitigated damage unless Rox uses “DENIED!”. > > Crushing attacks are scaled down in relation to strength as it takes that much more weight to crush her. If she is being crushed by forces greater than what she could handle, the aura will strengthen up to the point where it fails (again, 2 posts). This does not apply to someone trying to choke her out or perform some sort of hold. In those cases, the attacker will have just as difficult a time as they would against someone of her modified strength. > > Heat, Cold, and Electrical attacks are not well mitigated without use of “DENIED!”. At best, she can stave off third degree burns and frostbite for about a post. Stuns from electricity however, will not be affected. > > Rox's aura is ineffective against piercing attacks, cutting attacks, and shrapnel, even when concentrated. Rox gains no increased pain tolerance except during “Her Finest Moment”. Rox gains no resistance to poisons, acid, or biological weapons. Rox's mass does not increase, so even though she can take more damage than someone of her size, that does not stop her from being thrown around by sudden forces (unless DENIED! is used). As such, her aura does not protect from things like concussions and whiplash. > > EMPs ignore Rox’s Aura (even when DENIED! is used) and will cause Rox to lose internet connection for a MINIMUM of 3 posts. High Voltage electrical attacks must be blocked with “DENIED!” or she will experience the same effects as an EMP. > > Anti-Magic fields limit Rox’s ability to go beyond Battle-Pixie Mode for as long as she is affected by them, regardless of her stream level. If she is at a higher level of transformation, she will downgrade at 1 level per post until she has reached Battle-Pixie Mode. Her stream level itself, is NOT affected. > > Much like “DENIED!”, Rox can only concentrate her aura for defensive purposes in her limbs as she must make traditional blocking actions to activate it. Also like “DENIED!”, this requirement is waived for Shin Battle Pixie Mode. > > Attacks**: Typically, Rox's HTH attacks do as much damage as expected from someone with her modified strength. She will generally concentrate her aura into the attacking body part to protect it from the effects of forcefully striking hard surfaces. > > When she uses her Pixie-Hands Hype effect, a singular concentrated attack can gain up to enough force to crater a solid stone wall, or blast through it completely if it's thinner than 30cm. This tends to cause some close-up collateral damage as well since the opposing forces are usually blasted back around her (so she doesn't shatter her arm or whatever from the recoil). At maximum :Kappa:, her finger pistol attack is roughly twice as powerful as this.

Various that had been gained both naturally and unnaturally. Most Malmosians are born with Tribal scars, these scars represent the element they are to master. These scars are usually placed around their face and across the arms and legs. With Leon’s element being that of electricity, his face is covered with spark shaped tribal scars. However, during the escape from his planet he was also hit with a fireball that scorched the left side of his body. This event left him burned and missing an eye. > > Equipment > > Weapons > > Hawkwind: Leon’s Current Guitar Axe. It is wielded similar to a 41-inch bardiche, and thus shares a similar range to it. However, this range can be extended by the guitar’s secondary ability, by using the sound emitting system to focus the sound on the blade itself, Leon can extend the range of his axe swing, at the cost of the sound-based attack doing less damage the more distance it covers and being completely ineffective at a range of four feet and above. If it reaches one foot ahead of the axe, it is at its strongest and the wave would be akin to being hit by the actual axe itself, including the chopping power that the axe has. two feet ahead is when the actual axe starts to weaken only having the force of a blunt object being swung at a person at the speed of the axe itself (Akin to a shovel more than likely.) At Three feet, it becomes a joke being close to a very hard slap if anything and losing almost all of the impact the axe would normally have.This sound based enhancement can be seen with a blue aura in the shape of the guitar itself surrounding it. > > Tomahawks x2: Leon’s main side arms, both covering lengths of 13.25 inches (About a foot in range.) and weighing in at two pounds each, they are your standard modern day tactical tomahawks. With the blade made of Crucible S7 graded steel. It is made to be shock resistant, while still resisting the chipping and breaking common with most axes > > Four Bags of Metal Shards: These are mainly used if the area around Leon is lax of any Ferrous or Magnetic material. It’s just a bag of Metal shards. (In HoH this will be replaced with metal spheres instead, about the size of a marble.) Each back will about 50 shards/spheres each > > Two Bags of Metal Tablets: Again Mainly used if Leon is lax of Ferrous materials, same application as above. Each back will about 50 shards/spheres each. > > Fighting Style > > Malmo-Tiasen: Leon was mostly trained to use his instrument and music as a weapon. Like many B.A.R.D. Members Leon is trained in both Mid and close ranged combat. When up close he relies on Malmo-Tiasen. A B.A.R.D Created Style of Fighting with Emphasis on quick takedowns, joint locks, and chokes. Emphasis on throws and disarms are key with this style, in order to perform close range breaching and quick reaction to counter strikes and small weapons combat with quick disarms and takedowns. While Malmo-Taisen normally relies on Joint Locks (and Leon can still do so if need be.), Leon is miles more experienced to disabling throws and disarming the opposition if any weapons are available, before moving onto joint locks and possible executions if situation depends on it. > > > > > Armor > > Malmosian AP Armor: Military grade Power Armor, has a weight akin to iron armor. while it does protect against most ballistics, like any sort of bulletproof armor it does come with a taxing limit and some bullets can puncture said armor depending on caliber. Against swords and other weapons however it offers quite the ample protection, the side gauntlets are specifically hardened to parry sword swings. It covers about the same amount of body as normal plate armor so mostly the joints and the chest are the weak points. Being a More Futuristic armor, the helmet actually gives him a full view and a GUI that shows conditions such as heart rate, and in the case of Leon. It is also in charge of protecting the user against various magical attacks, specifically their lingering effects. The Variable Protection System (or VPS) Is in charge of nullifying specific magical elements, any lingering magical or elemental effect casted on the user will be reduced to one turn instead of their normal period of the lingering effect. > > Abilities > The Lightning (Electromagnetism Generation) > Leon’s main ability is controlling and creating electromagnetic fields using his own body to gather electricity to do so. In normal situations Leon’s own electromagnetic field has a range of a 3-foot radius. Any ferrous item within that range can be controlled by Leon as long as it is not in a combined excess of 40lbs. > > Basic Movements > > With Control of the Electromagnetic spectrum, This grants Leon certain movement that many others do not have. Being able to Cling onto walls and glide in the air with enough focus. Whist gliding however, leon only travels at about 15 miles. With a single turn of focus Leon can also super jump. This allows him to just Five feet in the air on top of his already 44 inch vertical leap (3 Feet.). He can essentially charge his jump per turn (For a Maximum of Three turns.) Each turn will grant him an additional 5 feet (A Fifteen foot maximum vertical leap.) With the Cooldown rate doubled (Six Turns maximum) While abilities like Gliding and Wall clinging are completely passive and have no cooldown or charge period. > > > > Gliding: Passive > > Wall Clinging: Three Turns > > Super Jump Charging: A turn per 5 Feet of Height, and a cooldown of two turns per 5 feet > > > Gravity Storm > As Leon plays his guitar, a large magnetic field is created. At a Maximum Leon can only gather about 40 pounds of objects at a single time, and the magnetic field grows at a rate of 10 feet per turn with a maximum of 40 feet. While inside of this magnetic field ferrous objects will gather into it (And lead to any of the abilities below.) While in this field Leon can control any of the magnetic objects that is inside of it and control it at his whim, but it cannot travel no faster than 50 mph and. > > His movement will also be nearly frictionless. However, this only is possible inside of the magnetic field itself. Also, if Leon at any point stops playing his guitar instead of going away instantly the magnetic field will slowly shrink 20 feet per turn before it dissipates completely after the last ten feet. It cannot be used again if there is another Magnetic field, lest they interfere with one another nor can he recover the “Field.” If he’s “dropped” it. However, he can still benefit from the effects if he plunges in after dropping it, as long as it has not dissipated during that time. > > Cooldown: A Turn Per every 10 feet. Taking effect after the magnetic field has withered off. > > Tornado of Souls > > > This is only possible if Gravity Storm reaches at least 30 feet in diameter, at any point during Gravity Storm, Leon instead of holding the Magnetic Field can completely inverse it, creating a vortex of Electricity, around Leon that he can swing around at his leisure, during this time, no other electrical attacks can be used. The small almost dime sized sparks that bounce in bunches around due to this vortex, will cause second degree burns and slice through skin like sharp metal. > > Cooldown: Double that of Gravity storm (If Gravity storm reached 30 feet and thus a 3 turn cooldown, this would be 6 turns.) > > Ride the Lightning > > With a single Power Chord, Leon can generate a bolt of electricity to shoot toward his opponent in a flash, if hit by the bolt, they will suffer first degree electrical burns. However, they gain an added effect during Gravity Storm, Leon can use other Ferrous objects in the magnetic field and store it into those objects. While these objects have the electricity stored, Leon has it under his control until he decides to release the electrical energy. (The Direction of which he can still control.) > > Cooldown: Three Turns. > > Scatter Triad > > Using his own short electromagnetic field, Leon attracts a handful of small metallic ball. He then uses electromagnetic propulsion to fire the packed-up balls. Once it is launched the steel spheres spreads throughout a cone, becoming more ineffective the more distance it travels and becomes completely ineffective at 105 feet of range. At the most effective range (0 to 5 feet.) It can break smaller bones like hands and fingers and cause bruises. At longer ranges the damages diminish from just minor bruises (20 to 50 feet.) To mere scratches (55 feet onward.). However, if it is deemed necessary, Leon will instead use small metal tablets in order to dent armor pieces at the closer ranges, However it only works at close range. > > Cooldown: Three Turns > > Pull Me Under > > Leon must be using a Metallic weapon to do this, if any of his magnetic weaponry latches onto the body of his opponent or stick onto their armor, he can use that as a grappling point to pull his opposition closer to him, for a Maximum range of Ten feet. However, the user is not stunned by this and any available way they can resist the grappling pull (Or even remove the weapon in question) Can apply. However, this has the added effect of Leon being able to recover his weapon from anywhere on the field. > > Cooldown: Three > > Soul Doubt > > Instead of creating an electromagnetic field, Leon uses the energy stored inside of his body, to send out an Electromagnetic pulse, through his guitar, with a simple strum. This EMP temporarily disables a bevy of electronics, such as basic sensors, Electronic Communications, any bionic physiology such as robotic and electrical prosthetics, and all nanites, but only slows down technorganic physiology. The secondary effect is that it causes a temporary zap anyone hit by the range of the EMP (Which is a 20 foot radius.), not causing much damage other than a quick discomfort. This EMP will last two turns > > Cooldown: Four Turns > > The Thunder (Sound Manipulation) > Leon second ability based on his training as a Malmosian B.A.R.D is the ability to wield sound as a weapon, no matter how the sound is generated as long as it is generated by him. Whether by the guitar himself or anything throughout his body. > > Enhanced Hearing > > Being one trained in the use of sound as a military weapon, Leon was also trained in the use of sound for tracking and scouting. To this end, Leon’s hearing has been trained to the highest possible peak. As Long as he is not moving, he can hear any sound of any frequency if he focuses on a specific location. However, if interrupted at any point he can no longer focus on the location at hand, he MUST not be in combat or attempting any of his abilities in order to use anything to use this passive ability. > > SCREAM FOR ME DUBLIN > Unleashing a violent scream, the scream generates a high-pitched wail, this scream will generate winds at almost 200 MPH, pushing anything in from of the scream as far as 40 feet ahead. Mostly used as crowd control than anything significant to cause damage (Not that it couldn’t depending on what is in the trajectory of the victim). > > Cooldown: Three Turns > > > Up The Irons > > The replacement for Rust in Piece for HoH, Instead of Gathering Metal shards to create a shrapnel explosion. He uses one Metal Disc to shroud in a similar manner but with a much different effect. Unleashing the Supersonic Punch will give his power enough force to break through armor, at the cost of his hands becoming completely unusable for the duration of the cooldown period. (This will Disable any attack that uses his guitar.) > > Cooldown: Three Turns. > > > > Undertow > With a bend of his guitar string, Leon creates a discordant and low frequency sound wave. This sounds which covers a 30-foot radius can cause a case of Vertigo if in the vicinity of the sound itself. However, the effect of said Vertigo becomes weaker after each turn. > > Turn 1: Feeling of imbalance, spinning, and tilting, Nausea, Hearing loss (Muffling any sound around the 30-foot vicinity.), Are felt in full force. > Turn 2: The Imbalance begins to relax, along with the Nausea. > Turn 3: Everything begins to return to normal. > > Cooldown: Six turns. > > Hard as Iron > At any point, Leon can solidify the soundwaves that are immediately around him (Only at a range of 3 inches at best.). Once he does this they will act as a force field, temporarily absorbing any physical attack that strike his body. However, anything that Leon was supposed to succumb to for this turn will affect him next turn. This does not block any effects of an attack just merely delays Leon’s reaction of it until the next turn. Any physical effects of the attack will still apply. > > There is a second way to use this ability and that is as a general force field, with his guitar the field will cover two feet ahead of him, and block incoming damage. The forcefield is not invulnerable and at best, can only stand about 3000 newtons of force before it breaks, which stacks with each concurrent hit. If the Force Field breaks, his cooldown rate is doubled. This only blocks the actual FORCE of the blow (Note the word force in force field after all.) not energy or magical effects. > > Cooldown: Five Turns for both. (Doubles to 10 if the force field is broken.) > > Ram it Down > > This is actually an extension to Hard as Iron, when the force field is generated, Leon can intentionally break it, causing a massive release of sound force creating a small explosion that will release in 15 foot radius, causing major pushback. However, this massive release of energy and the broken force field doubles the cooldown of the ability (From Five to Ten turns.) > > Cooldown: Ten Turns > > Master Exploder > > Instead of playing his guitar Leon taps the ground with the body of the guitar two times. The ground within a 5 foot diameter of the impact point becomes sonically unsettled, if if that five foot diameter is stepped on during that time, it will expand the sound waves within the area, increasing the sound pressure, and causing an Sonic Explosion. This can be blended with other objects to cause differing effects, For example Leon can use one of the packs of Metal spheres to cause similar damage to Scatter Triad. He can also wait until someone steps on it and use Ride the Lightning to create a geyser of electricity, this will cause mild electrical burn damage along with a pushback > > Cooldown: Three Turns after Placement > > Stained Class > > If Unarmed, Leon can use his fist as dangerous sound based weapons. Using his ability to control sound and vibration He expands the expands the sound wave generated by the attack itself, inducing a small explosion that doubles the concussive force, nearly forcing a knockdown. This can be used for a total of three attacks, Before Cooldown starts. Missing an attack will still count against the number of attacks made before the ability goes on cooldown. > > > Cooldown: Three Turns (After the three attacks are used.)

Better Than Gore - Marcus Sade Wrote:

Despite being made of a somewhat heavy metal it is virtually weightless and doesn't limit mobility or flexability. Similar to that of fitted chainmail, resistant to stabbing, however blunt damage will impact it rather heavily due to being skin tight. > > Batus Gigantis: A Louisville Slugger crafted out of ash timber; lengthing 32" and weighing 5lb, embedded with 3" nails. > > Paul Hogan: A large bowie knife; 24" blade and 6" handle, weighing 2lb. > > HTSAW: Marcus is the host of a unique parasite, in the case of her mutation(s), the parasite acts like that of a mana system. Every post, while engaged in combat, a single point of Insanity is produced(with a maximum of ten). Marcus starts out with a total of three Insanity points per fight, gaining one every round as stated. In order to mutate her body, Insanity must be spent, and once it has been spent it must be regained. > > Flea Flicker: Marcus is able to store a vast amount of energy within his legs and launch himself with said energy. This energy will be stored passively upon the activation of the ability, capping off at three charges. Each charge costs one point of Insanity. A single charge will enable him to leap forward/backward in ten foot increments(a maximum of thirty feet with three charges). This ability can also be used offensively, but the distance is halved, upon connecting his opponent will be launched the remaining distance. For example, if three charges are used, Marcus will jump fifteen feet and knock his opponent back fifteen feet. Whenever the ability is used a cooldown of two posts will come into effect. > > The Kraken's Maw.: For one point of Insanity, a mitochondria is released into the bloodstream of Marcus' right arm, mutating it into something truly disturbing. What was once an arm will become a disgusting appendage resembling a tentacle, from shoulder to mid forearm, below the forearm is a multitude of tentacles, six exactly. In a hexagon shape, with each point being a tentacle. On the bottom of each individual tentacle is a row of teeth, much like that of a rattlesnake these teeth act as a fang that are connected by venom ducts to large poison glands near the outer edge of the tentacle. When the tentacle has wrapped around a victim, the muscles on the sides of the venom glands contract, which squeezes the venom through the ducts and into the fangs. Marcus' venom is a neurotoxin, which causes muscle spasm on the limb it has latched onto(for a total of two posts). Kraken's Maw cannot occur instantly and must happen over the course of one post. During this time, he can not use the Kraken's Maw in any deliberate way. Kraken's Maw must be paid for on every other post(one Insanity to summon, one Insanity on the third post to keep active, so on and so forth). Any damage done to the Kraken's Maw will carry over to his arm if it is reverted back(if a tentacle has been removed, a finger will be gone). The Kraken's neurotoxin takes a single post to take effect(one post for the tentacles to attach and administer the poison, on the following post the affected limb will experience minor paralysis). Only the targetted limb will be affected by the poison and it cannot spread throughout the remainder of the body. > > Points of Tension: If a lock is established on an opponent, a point of Insanity may be spent to rupture a spike from Marcus' body, particularly where the lock has taken place. This ability will take a post to occur. The spike is six inches in length and will leave Marcus' limb in a metastasized state for a post after use of the ability. It has a three post cool down. > > You're Carapacin' Me Off: Marcus is passively protected by a second skin that protects him from blunt trauma. Upon being hit the damage is evenly distributed in attempts to withstand it. A single location can absorb a hit before being rendered useless. It is broken down into six sections, head, torso, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg. Damage to one section will not compromise the whole. > > You Gotta Be Chitin Me.: Marcus may mutate(one Insanity per limb) his second skin further with this ability, assuming it hasn't been damaged previously in the limb he has deemed worthy of mutating, it will not cover his entire body unless he has paid the required Insanity to do so. Instead, it will coat one limb at a time(head, torso, etc), he may coat an additional section for another point of Insanity. This mutation will transform his second skin into that of an exoskeleton, equivalent to that of plate mail, albeit somewhat lighter. The armor will limit his mobility and speed accordingly but can add impact to his blows due to the extra weight. Due to being made of bone, it has a weakness of sheer force, such as twisting or cranking. Any damage in that subject will be highly destructive; as bone is not especially strong in that regard. Being her only protection against magic, the armor can resist 1,000°F before becoming charred, it can only absorb cold damage for so long before it will become brittle, acidic type magic will surely eat away at the armor but it will protect Marcus for a prolonged period of time(if an opponent's magic/ability will take a post-period to take effect, it will double the time taken to react), electricity can do quite the number on the armor due to the fact that it will course through the entire suit/limb. This mutation must be paid for each round that it is active(one Insanity point per limb effected following the initial post), and has a cool-down of one post between each use. Marcus cannot use this ability on a section of his body that his carapace has been broken. It also cannot take place instantaneously; the armor will start to produce itself on the same post it is activated but will not be fully fuctional until the following post. > > Pegs Of Insanity: Marcus is able to sprout tentacles from his back. When two points of Insanity have been used, two tentacles errupt from his back. Totaling five feet in length, not nearly as strong as the average arm but are capable of establishing a bruising grip. Each tentacle can lift a maximum of fifty pounds. Being that of a tentacle, they are devoid of bone and made of muscle wrapped in fact, making them quite easy to get rid of. If they are cut off, Marcus will be responsible for feeling the pain, they also cannot grow back for the remainder of the fight. After the duration of two posts has expired, the ability will go a cool down of two posts. > > World Eater's Tongue: Marcus' tongue is prehensile, extending a maximum of three feet and can bifurcate upon paying a point of Insanity, brandishing numerous 2" spikes(lining the full length of the tongue). If the tongue is removed, then it remains so for the remainder of the fight. When bifurcated, it must slither, not lash, if it wishes to wrap around a target.

Crafted with a combination of enchanted steel and master worked leather, these gloves are capable of withstanding extreme pressures and temperatures. They are comfortable, and adequate defensive measures against both weapons and magicks, and are also very potent offensive weapons thanks to James's skill in hand-to-hand combat and martial art masteries. James has been observed deflecting sword blows, punching through weaker/lighter projectile abilities or attacks with these gloves. This item withstands up to 2k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > > Imbued, Master-Crafted Combat Knife: > A large, black, and intimidating knife. 13.75-inches in length overall with a 7.25-inch recurved modified spear point blade, the weapon bears two hooks on its hilt guard for catching and disarming other weapons and the handle also contains a small ridge for use as a hammer. Both edges are half-serrated, and this weapon is enchanted to be highly resistant to high temperatures and is capable of conducting James's ki. The blade is coated with a non-reflective material, allowing it to be used stealthily in low-light scenarios. This weapon weighs .65 pounds. This item withstands up to 1k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > Reference here > > Telescopic Composite Spear: > The Composite Spear James possesses is a specially crafted, double-sided and retractable polearm weapon. 18 inches long when fully retracted, the Composite Spear reaches to five feet when fully extended via a button and is tipped on both sides by a one-inch long titanium spike, Portions of the spear's composite ceramic and metal "shaft" is grooved for better grip and aerodynamics, allowing the spear to be thrown with a fair amount of accuracy. Like all of James's weapons, it has been imbued to resist extreme heat, and is quite sturdy. The weapon extends with 85 joules of energy, which is barely under what is necessary to pierce modern stab-resistant body armor. > > Upgrade: Hunter's Pledge: > Through extensive use and experience, James has seen fit to modify his composite spear. The shaft, or body of the spear has been lengthened slightly, and is now 24 inches when fully retracted, making it harder to carry concealed, and five feet, 10 inches when fully extended. The weapon itself has been reinforced to be even tougher, and now features two sets of blade catchers at either end where the tips neatly fit into when retracted. The tips have been lengthened to two inches and are now tipped with a tungsten alloy, and also feature backward-facing barb-like protrusions to help embed the spear a target and cause greater damage when being pulled out. Projection force has been unchanged. This weapon weighs 4.5 pounds. This item withstands up to 1.5k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > > Custom Combat Jacket: > James's “normal” jackets are enchanted to be extremely heat resistant, and are composed out of a tough, leather-like material. Underneath the jacket however, is a layering of Kevlar and titanium carbide fibers, and ceramic discs woven into the lining. This grants James a superb amount of protection against shrapnel, good protection against blunt force trauma, reasonable protection against light slicing and cutting attacks, but relatively poor protection against piercing and stabbing attacks. This item weighs 6 pounds. This item withstands up to 2k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > > Steel-Toed Boots: > Simple, reinforced boots that have been enchanted and crafted with the specific materials in mind to resist extreme heat. The soles are grooved with metal, allowing James to catch blades under his feet. Not recommended though. > > Heat-Resistant Sunglasses: > Because it’s cool. These also provide adequate protection for the eyes against most minor threats. Like pocket sand. Or acid to the eyes. Not the rest of the face though. > > Nodachi "Amaterasu": > An ōdachi, meaning "great big sword", was a type of long Japanese sword. The term nodachi, or "field sword", which refers to a different type of sword, is often mistakenly used in place of ōdachi. Although the two types of swords are often similar, odachi are generally more ceremonial, while nodachi are made mainly for battle. > > The nodachi that James wields, is named Amaterasu, after the Japanese Goddess of the Sun. The weapon was originally a zweihander named Hellfire, container of the dark Etifini fire God named Halcyanos. After the deity was defeated by James, he took the weapon back to his clan and had it reforged as a magnificent nodachi. > > At an overall length of 66 inches with a 50-inch blade, 16-inch hilt, the nodachi is a massive weapon, almost as long as James is tall, and the gentle 3-inch curve on the blade enhances the cutting power of the blade, while still keeping stabs and thrusts viable. The blade itself sports an intricate lotus pattern, creating a beautiful, but deadly weapon, crafted for war in mind. The round tsuka, or hand guard, and the handle are suitable decorated, and provide a firm guard and grip for James against any rigor of battle. > > The actual strength of the blade however, lies in its artifact origins. Reforged from the former weapon of a Fire God, the nodachi is naturally aligned toward fire entities, even with the original owner dead. To top it off, the artisans of the Eredas clan master-crafted the weapon in the heat of the clan's own sacred flames, further purifying and imbuing the sword with the ability to channel the Eredas's supernatural energy. (James is not using his flames for the tournament, this is flavor text that I left in because I’m lazy and I’m not removing it from the original profile) > > The nodachi is sharp and highly resistant to damage of any kind (just means it can’t be broken). The very nature of the sword itself allows James to cut through magic and other sorts of supernatural attacks with relative ease, while also allowing him to channel his formidable sacred fire through the blade to enhance power and reinforce the weapon itself. Handling is superb and balanced specifically for James. He often wields it without a scabbard, not really having to worry about maintenance, and preferring to be able to wield the weapon without having to draw it from a sheathe. James sometimes uses consecrated white wrapping cloth to wrap the blade when not in use. > > James can use this weapon to cut through instant or one-turn attacks with little effort. The manner of dissipation depends on the concentration of the enemy attack. A highly focused energy sphere might be split in half, each half still dangerous at half power, while a cloud-like or less focused attack can be dissipated outright, or remain as a light nuisance. Higher tiers of enemy magical abilities or physical powers require a casting of Empower to match all but the most powerful of enemy spells or abilities (3 charge/turn and higher cannot be matched/defended against by Empower and Amaterasu). This weapon weighs 8.5 pounds. This item withstands up to 2.5k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > > Longsword "The Rending Blade": > A powerful longsword, the Rending Blade is of an olden design, measuring 44 inches of blade and 10-inches of hilt and guard. Six inches of sword where the base of the blade meets the hilt is blunt but ridged, allowing for an easy grip for half-sword techniques and the guard itself is fashioned in a decorative, if mostly still utilitarian fashion. The Rending Blade is crafted out of an unknown metal but it seems similar to steel. When unsheathed, the longsword glows a dim blue with the power of an unknown energy field. The Blade is incapable of receiving empowerments or enchantments of any kind, because it weakens all magical, spiritual, psychic, and supernatural effects in its immediate vicinity, and nullifies said powers upon contact with the blade.  > > Note for Judges: FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES for HEAVEN OR HELL. The Rending Blade longsword has the exact same magic and physical abilities, if any, as the nodachi Amaterasu. So it’s the same as Amaterasu. Only it’s a longsword. Shaped differently, lighter, European style weapon. > This weapon weighs 3 pounds. This item withstands up to 2k degrees Celsius before beginning to warp and weaken from heat. > > Daemonbane Armor: > Used to be here. > I removed it so I can beat everybody in Heaven or Hell with a stylish outfit instead. > > Or probably just get stabbed more. > > Combat Abilities and Techniques: > > Daemon Hunter: James is a veteran daemon and monster hunter. His sense of instinct is incredibly developed, and it is by this supernatural aspect of his sixth sense that allows him to track and detect the truly cruel and maleficent, as well as sense the “aura“, spiritual energy, or killing intent of others nearby or at a distance. Barring that, he is very knowledgeable about supernatural creatures as a whole. As for physical capabilities, James possesses superhuman stamina, and is generally considered to be at just above peak human physical capability in his ordinary, restrained state. James is conditioned to take and withstand blows that could cripple an ordinary human, and he is right-handed, but has trained to be ambidextrous. > > As befitting a master daemon hunter, James's willpower is the stuff of heros' tales. Experience and training has granted him high amounts of mental resistance and fortitude. There are things that man was simply not meant to know, but James is one of the few who hold the line against such horrors, with steely will and ironclad discipline. > > James is resistant to extreme heat. Although the empowered Eredas family members are not heat-resistant from birth and often scorch themselves, as they mature and gain mastery over themselves their bodies become more and more resistant to heat and high temperatures. Currently, James's body can handle up to roughly just over 1000 degrees Celsius with no ill-effects whatsoever, although his fists and arms can resist much higher than that. There have also been occasions when he has been shown withstanding even temperatures that could melt high-grade metals, usually in the midst of an extremely tough battle. > > Note for Judges: Lets make this simple. > > James is at peak human physical condition for his size and weight. Maybe some extra stamina. Let me know if I have to put in hard numbers to satisfy any conditions. > > As for flame resistance, lets say he has a 50 percent fire resistance to all flame-based attacks across the board. > > ======================================= > > Martial Artist: Shin Soulchiou Style > >  The Shin Soulchiou Style is a development of the Eredas family’s original Soulchiou style. James is proficient with swords, spears, knives, and many other sorts of melee weaponry, but he is most masterful in hand-to-hand. On his wide travels and adventures, James has encountered and learned many more types of fighting styles and has continued to hone any useful skills acquired into his repertoire, making it more unique, different, and more powerful. > > Primary Striking Technique influences: > >  Chinese Kenpo >  Bajíquán > > Secondary Striking Technique influences: > >  Wushu >  Shotokai Karate >  Tae Kwon Do >  Muay Thai > > Primary Grappling Technique influences: > >  Judo >  Muay Thai > > Secondary Grappling Technique influences: > >  Sambo/Military CQC > Energy System: James starts every battle at 2 energy. James possesses a cap of 15 energy. James passively gains +1 energy every post/turn, unless using Empower. > > Sun-Well: James powers up, gaining an extra +1 energy. Performing practically no other actions, James gains additional power at a faster rate (+1) if left to charge for a consecutive turn, up to a cap of +3 additional power. > Silent Wave: At the cost of three energy, James concentrates a mass of his energy in a hand, and sweeps it out before him, projecting a short-ranged wave of force. This wave of force is effective up to six feet away, and strikes with enough force as if James were tackling an opponent at 30 miles per hour. The wave of force is warm to the touch, and James is capable of casting this attack in mid-air, where the force of it can arrest his motion or push him back. No its not silent. There’s a WHOOSH sound that often accompanies. > > Empower: At the cost of three energy, James channels and infuses his ki within himself to empower a single action, be it a dash, strike, parry, or block with enhanced speed, strength, and resilience for one post (2X). This ability can only be used twice in a row before incurring a two post/turn cooldown. > > Flesh over Steel: Once a day, in any state of mind, James can expend all of his current energy to deliver a powerful blow, capable of meeting, and destroying nearly any mechanical or metal object up to the size of another human being or confer to himself enough resilience in one section/limb of the body to resist some of the most powerful of blows. This technique requires a post to set up, and costs 10 energy minimum to use, but will expend all available energy. Any of his own armor at the point of impact, whether on defense or offense, will be destroyed. Only Amaterasu and the Rending Blade are capable of surviving being used in this technique.

It allows her to make progress as both a mage through the casting of spells, and as a fighter coupled with melee fighting, where fire is expelled forward from punches, kicks, and other movements. > > Rou’s most common method for starting a fire is in the snap of her fingers, to create a spark that ignites the energy expelled into a physical flame. Once the fire is started, she can manifest it into a variety of forms, but as the nature of fire is “alive”, it still requires the basic principles of fire to remain live, however the “fuel” component is her spiritual energy. The nature of the fire is deeply correlated to her emotions; calm and concentrated application of her powers can create a more controlled flame that is more precise, whereas emotions like rage or fear are less precise, but more chaotic and widespread. > > True to the nature of fire, fire is less potent in rain, and cannot be summoned underwater. Rou can, however, heat up a body of water that she’s in, or heat up the surrounding air to make it start steaming. The more dense the body of water, the longer it takes. To be able to set another object on fire, it has to be within two feet of her person, be flammable (excluding skin), and she has to be able to see it. This is a directed “skill shot” ability, and does have the potential to miss if the target is moved. This excludes items that are cosmetically set aflame (for non-combat purposes), such as candles/torches/ect. > > > > Rou relies on traits as a firebender and her experience as both a swordsmith and a master thief to navigate combat, narrowed down into two stances: > > *SPELLWHIP STANCE* > Primarily for spellcasting, Rou uses both projectile fire magic and the precision of her manipulation to create a whip of fire through the extension of her shackles (see Equipment) in order to attack from a distance. Opponents are susceptible to both burns and physical damage from an array of different applications of this magic. > > Projectiles are formed by the manifestation of her spiritual energy, and then engulfed in flame. They can range in sizes, from the size of a baseball that fits neatly in her palm, to a sphere with a diameter as tall as herself. The smaller the projectile, the easier it is to handle, as it can be thrown or slung like a physical object of similar size. Projectiles can cause as severe as second degree burns (which result in pain, blisters, ect) as well as welts from force delivered upon impact. After leaving connection with Rou’s body, the fire and energy dissipate a few moments after it has ceased momentum. > > Manifestation of Rou’s whip gives it the tensile strength of a leather bullwhip, and while connected to Rou’s person, maintains that thickness. The whip can reach up to 6 feet in length. The whip can be wrapped around a person or object, and grappling with the whip can cause it to burn through cloth and cause second degree burns to flesh until the third turn, in which they begin to cause third degree burns. Lashes caused by Rou’s whip can leave welts and first-degree burns, or even split the skin. > > > *SWORDSMITH STANCE* > Primarily for short-range combat, Rou’s time as a blacksmith and a thief keep her both in Olympic physical condition: muscled, flexible, and nimble. When partaking in short range, she can employ the use of a Cutlass (see Equipment) or pairs firebending abilities in cooperation with melee tactics. Her strength allows her to keep up with the contenders, and gives back as good as she gets. The more angry she is, the more viciously she fights back. > > Through time as a smith, and with her resourcefulness, Rou has various ways of repairing broken metal or magical equipment while on the sidelines (while currently not engaged in a match) to assist herself and her teammates. Rou is also known to have a set of sticky fingers, and valuable items often go missing after passing her by. > > > *SUPPORT SPELLS* > > Rou also knows rudimentary Runic Magics, such as basic glamours, utility levitation, and enchanting, performed by the writing of runes (which can be performed on skin, objects, or even drawn in the air). All spells have a maximum distance of 20 meters, from which she can summon or cast. > > List of Runic Spells: > > Holding: Ability to open the path to Sitra Ahkra, to deposit or withdraw items from the Gem of Holding on her bracer (see equipment.) > Magelight: Ability to cast a glowing orb that illuminates a space and lasts for a duration of 2-3 minutes. She can either carry the light or place/throw it somewhere. > Detect Life: Ability to stretch forth her spirit energy no farther than 20 meters, during which time she must be standing still and with her eyes closed for a period of 10-15 seconds. It detects both movement and heat of beings, much like whiskers. > Telekinesis: Ability to pull items closer to Rou-- the larger the object, the more focus and time it takes. This must be an item that is soulbound to Rou, such as her equipment, or an item from the arena that she has handled for more than 5 seconds. > Ex: Rou could use this to return her cutlass to her hand if dropped, or use in conjuction with Holding to summon the correct item from Sitra Ahkra. > Ward: Ability to conjure a shield with her energy, approx 3 feet in diameter. It does not stop physical attacks, but may lessen the blow of magical ones. Rou must wait 3 turns after having a ward struck with a magical attack before she can conjure another one. > Glamour: Ability to shift her own shape, though it must remain humanoid. She can either use it to disguise a portion of herself, or look like someone else. > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > *EQUIPMENT* > > [Wrist Shackle](https://i.imgur.com/bSI1qzh.jpg) > A thick steel manacle that encompasses her right wrist with a simple fastening mechanism that no longer has a lock, with a tail of 18 inches of chain. The manacle itself is about 2.5 inches wide, and the length of chain almost sweeps the ground when her arms are down at her sides. The gauge of the chain is thick enough to not be broken by blades. When not in use, Rou keeps this item in the Gem of Holding on her bracer. > > [Steel Cutlass](https://i.imgur.com/QI8KY5b.png) > A thin steel sword with a jeweled guard to protect her knuckles, less wide than a broadsword, but wider than a rapier. The blade measures 26”, and the total length from tip to pommel is 32”; the grip is wrapped in leather. When not in use, Rou keeps this item in the Gem of Holding on her bracer. > > [https://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGvq16VO.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Gvq16VO.jpg)Silver Knife > With a blade length of only 4” and a total length of only 7.5”, this small knife hides in a leather scabbard along the inside of Rou’s boot. The blade itself is silver, the bane of various degrees of fae and otherworldly creatures, and the handle is ivory. The blade is only intended for one person, and he knows what he did to deserve it. > > *CLOTHING and ARMOR* > > [Garments of the Incendiary](https://i.imgur.com/k6j50d5.jpg) > Rou has enchanted her reimagined bodysuit, tights, and boots to not catch fire from her own magic or others. They don’t retain much quality as armor, other than the thickness protection of leather. Panties may or may not be included-- depends on her whimsy. > > [Bracer](https://i.imgur.com/rspUqk4.png) > A steel bracer padded with leather that’s worn only on Rou’s left arm, covering the back of her hand and up to the elbow. On the back of the hand it has a red Gem of Holding in the center, which can hold various items for Rou in Rafael’s dimension of Sitra Ahkra. She can summon items by thinking of the item and tapping the gem, which takes a few seconds for the item to then appear in her right hand.

Carries 3 rounds loaded plus 3 extra. 1 post to reload. > Effective firing range: 15 feet > > Taser gun: Pretty standard taser gun. Fires two barbed prongs that can penetrate normal clothing and sink into the skin. Sends a strong electric shock into the target in an attempt to temporarily disrupt muscle functions and/or cause pain. Can also be used in direct contact against a target without firing to deliver the same effect (still consumes ammo). > Duration: Both firing and contact 1 post. > 1 shot capacity: Carries 1 loaded plus 1 reload. > Effective firing range: 15 feet. > > Battle Axe: The haft is made of a lightweight durable metal so it can be used to block and deflect most physical attacks.

Including ammo count, position of known enemies through vision or use of other items, etc. These are ballistic polymer glasses, so not as easily breakable as regular glasses, but far from indestructible. Has two alternative display modes. > > Nightvision: Acts like nightvision goggles, enhancing low levels of light so he can see very well in darkness, though with a green tint to everything. > > > Magnetic Vision: Acts as a limited range radar, detecting metallic objects and obstructions within 20 feet. Allows him to see through illusions and the like if they're not actually corporeal and therefore have no metallic objects. > > 2x Stinger Grenade: Fires out multiple small rubber balls at high speed within 10 feet of detonation. Being hit by one of the balls would feel like a strong punch if unarmored. If set off in a confined space (< 10 feet), balls would bounce within the area for 1 post. > > 1x Smoke Grenade: Standard smoke grenade for obscuring vision. Smoke sprays out of the canister when “detonated” and fills a 20 foot area over a 1 post duration. Cloud then lasts a further 2 posts before dissipating completely. > > 1x EMP Grenade: Disables any non-protected electronic/electric equipment within 10 feet of detonation for 2 posts. > > 2x Sensor Grenade: Small baseball shaped item that acts as a radar like device, relaying information to his HUD.

Has Level III standard of ballistic protection, with level 2 spike and edged blade protection. Also contains lightweight polyethylene plates in the front, back, and sides. So it doesn't really impede his movement while providing significant protection from most weapons, as well as some blunt force protection. Has a Nomex weave for some added flame resistance. > Carries some items such as a pair of glasses, the zip-ties, zippo lighter, his cigarettes, and some of the listed equipment in pockets on it. Has a bit in the middle of the back as well for holding his axe. > > Thigh holster on his right thigh for the pepperball gun. > Thigh holster on his left thigh for the Ka-bar. > Holster at the small of his back for the Gerber. > Taser in a holster on the vest. > > Gloves: Tactical kevlar threaded gloves that extend a little more than an inch below his wrists, padded with a thin layer of goat leather on the palm. The back has a nomex layer giving them some flame resistance, and hard thermoplastic rubber knuckle and finger guards. Giving his hands a little protection against light slicing and blunt force attacks, as well as added impact to his punches, but not losing grip in his fingers. > > Elbow and Knee pads: Standard military style, except they have a small metal plate in them to add more power to knee and elbow strikes. > > Combat boots: Standard style, with a hardened steel toe and heel. > > Jay S. Bourne: The character. Played by her owner. Including his teammate here in case there is some reason to wield her. > > Abilities: > > Durability: Being a natural born Gaian, all that entails evolutionary and otherwise, has given him above average human resilience and endurance. Added to this is having been involved in combat and fighting in some form or another since misspent teen years and through his adult life. So while he is a pure human, he can take a couple hits even from stronger, larger, meta opponents. > > Thrill of battle: Besides being more than a bit of a masochist, few things make him feel as alive as fighting and testing himself against an opponent. This, combined with the above ability, also gives him a higher than normal pain tolerance. So while he will feel the pain, it’s likely to only excite him and drive him to fight further (within reason). This in no way detracts from actual physical effects of wounds however. > > Berserker: Pretty much an extension of the above two abilities. Can go into a berserker rage while in combat, allowing him to ignore pain and injury (unless debilitating, like a broken leg will still make him unable to walk pretty much at all. He just won’t feel the pain of the broken bone). Basically a last ditch, all or nothing effort to take out an opponent. Max 2 post duration. Drains him of any remaining stamina. Will pass out within 3 posts after it ends. > > Silence: Punches a ****** in the throat to interrupt the casting of the current spell.
