Descriptor: King of Terror
Having touched the true depths of his astral well, Ghidorah is once again capable of assuming one of his grander aspects - the King of Terror. In this form, Ghidorah is twenty-six stories tall (~80 meters/262 feet). He possesses two long tails which end in spiked clubs, and three equally long, robust and gracefully curved serpentine necks. He has three draconic heads, each possessing a snake-like muzzle and a heavy brow, upon which is found a pair of two-pronged antlers flanking a single crescent-shaped horn. As the King of Terror Ghidorah's chest is broad and powerful, and his legs are thick, almost musclebound, ending in four-toed plantigrade reptilian feet. He has no arms, possessing instead a pair of vaguely triangular golden wings, nearly tall as he is but short and inarticulate, more like sails. Their leathery membranes stretch across ladders of curving bone buttresses emerging on either side from knots of muscle on the upper half of his back. Each buttress ends in a single-clawed pinion. Fang-like bone spikes line the vertebrae of his three serpentine necks, joining into a single row down his back and proceeding along his tails. Excepting his brassy wings, and the suede underside of his necks which possess segmented plating like the belly of a snake, the King of Terror's body is covered in shining golden scales.

On Golden Wings
In this titanic form, Ghidorah's golden wings allow him to fly at jet-airplane speeds. The wings themselves do not propel him as such, but rather provide a psychological focus for the cosmic forces at his command. It is these forces that are the true source of Ghidorah's mastery of the skies.

Gravity’s Lathe
The signature and arguably ultimate expression of King Ghidorah’s power, in his kaiju form he is capable of spitting forking beams of golden lightning. These colossal bolts of electro-gravitic astral chaos, wide enough to engulf a column of main battle-tanks or rip the guts out of a two-lane highway, are functionally unlimited in range and capable of smashing apart re-enforced architecture or melting armored vehicles to slag. Contact with anything substantial results in a violent detonation, subjecting everything within one-hundred feet to intense heat, overwhelming shock, and massive tidal stress. The lightning can be fired from any or all of Ghidorah’s three mouths, whether in brief bursts, focused in a continuous arc upon a resistant target for maximum attrition, or raked across the landscape, carving great blasted swaths of devastation.

[Ben]

Username: Ben

Name of Ability?
Aging Gracefully

Ability Effects:
Agility 1 (200)

Descriptor: Despite Ben now getting on in years, he still has a surprising amount of agility for such an old man. It shows in his remarkable ability to jump and twist even in his old age, though he'll be the first one to tell you his back felt much better pulling such tricks in the old days.

Essence Cost: 200


STAFF EDIT: go forth and be agile

 

[The Future Warrior]

Username: The Future Warrior

Name of Ability?
Kiai

Ability Effects:
Damage 1 (100)
-- Ranged (50)
Move Object 3 (300)
-- Ranged (150)

Descriptor: An intense blast of nearly invisible energy, manifesting as a something similar to a burst of compressed air. It doesn't pack much of a damaging punch, but it hits with enough force to violently shove and push targets away and off-balance. It can be released from an outstretched hand, with a mere gesture or wave of an arm, or even from the eyes with a focused stare, making it a versatile option against unsuspecting targets.

Essence Cost: 600

Name of Ability?
Destructive Aura

Ability Effects:
Damage 3 (300)
-- Ongoing (300)
-- Affects Multiple 1 (150)
-- Indiscriminate (-150)

Descriptor: Graowr's normal aura of energy when fighting seriously is a shade of blue, similar to her own skin. At need, or desire however, she can amplify her energy output tremendously, causing her aura to take on the same vibrant hue of pink as her eyes, and fill itself with crackling arcs and flashing sparks of bio-electricity which can prove quite harmful to those in close proximity. This also induces a noticeable burst of air pressure and a near constant draft of air up and away from her while active, for yet further added visual flair.

This flashing aura is of course quite something to behold, but it also attacks recklessly and constantly, leaving anything and everything in close proximity to her in danger of being struck and damaged.

[Kopaka]

Username: Kopaka

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: Protodermis Body

Ability Effects:
Protection 5 (500)
-Ongoing (500)
-Weakness: Psychic and Lightning (-125)

Endurance 5: (500)

Descriptor: All of Mata Nui's creations boast rugged, bio-mechanical bodies that can stand up to harsh punishment and hours of exertion. Though Kopaka's organs do require food, sleep, and air, his external components are almost entirely reinforced robotics. Being that Kopaka still has a thinking, organic brain, he is still susceptible to blasts of mental energy. His metallic construction also offers almost no defense against huge surges in electric energy.

Essence Cost: 1375

[Kopaka]

Username: Kopaka

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: Bionic Strength

Ability Effects:
Damage 4 (400)

Move Object 4 (400)

Descriptor: Kopaka's primarily mechanical construction imbues him with strength far beyond that a normal human can exert. He still does have biological components, however, and cannot hold extremely heavy objects for long. He can, however, break through moderate obstructions and shift considerable bulk in short bursts.

Naturally, being struck by Kopaka's metallic, armored limbs can cause grave injuries against light defenses.

[Kopaka]

Username: Kopaka

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: Sword of Ice

Ability Effects:
Damage: 5 (500)
-Removable (-250)

Debuff 2 (200)
- Ongoing (200)
- Removable (-100)
- Limited: Heated Targets (-100)

Descriptor: Perhaps if Kopaka was more poetically inclined, his primary weapon would have a more striking title. As it is, the Sword of Ice is really just that. It is a heavy, double edged broadsword that also houses an elemental repository which allows Kopaka to channel his icy powers through it.

When Kopaka is gripping the sword, the weapon becomes supercooled to the point that it freezes wounds as quickly as it opens them. Even glancing blows, over time, have the capacity to gradually slow and immobilize a target with frost. This insidious power naturally does not work on targets that are inherently fiery or hot to the touch.

[Kopaka]

Username: Kopaka

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: Gyroscopic Shield

Ability Effects:
Protection: 6 (600)
-Removable: (-300)
-Weakness: Diffuse or Area Attacks (-150)

Descriptor: This strange, mechanical bulwark is perhaps Kopaka's most novel piece of equipment. At first glance, the round, four-foot disc would seem to make for a poor shield. It has three rows of concentric gaps that might easily allow a sword or arrow through. The secret is in a connective adapter on Kopaka's forearm, which acts as a spinning motor. This motor can quickly spin up the shield into a whirling, lightweight barrier that not only blocks direct attacks, but can throw open an attacker's guard with its rotation.

If Kopaka blocks an attack that is too heavy, however, or is caught off guard, it is entirely possible that the shield will be completely knocked out of its housing, and will need to be reattached manually. Additionally, while the gaps are effective against most directed forms of attack, it does not protect Kopaka from area attacks such as explosions, torrents of flame, or clouds of acid.

Username: Izaneus Phortea

Name of Ability?
Elven Physiology

Ability Effects:
Adaptation (Sleep): 50
Modifiers: Limited, Concentration
Endurance rank 1: 100

Agility rank 3: 600

Descriptor: As an Elf, Izaneus enjoys the benefits of a greater endurance, more tuned reflexes, as well as, instead of sleeping, Iza can choose to meditate for around 4 hours to get the full benefits of a full night of rest. This trance requires focus, but otherwise allows him to keep aware of his surroundings.

Essence Cost: 750
