Descriptor: A knife of red magic that periodically flashes a stark golden yellow, marking it as different than the rest of Chara's usual attacks. This blade is usually sent in the middle of one of Chara's standard barrages, and explodes with violent force, creating a golden explosion. This blast will harm anyone in range, and dispel any ambition severers or other magics Of Chara caught in the blast. this spell requires Chara some magical energy and time to create, focusing energy into a new version, though she usually has a magical 'charge' stored up before any given battle. It takes Ten seconds of time for Chara to restore her supply after using it up, and she can only hold on to one at a time currently. It also requires the majority of Chara's focus to aim and set off the explosion - a lapse in concentration can cause it to simply evaporate as a dud.

Knowledge: Conflict resolution 5
Profession: Medic 5

Descriptor: Chara spent a lot of her time with her dad growing up, tending to monopolize her time whenever Asriel was busy learning from mom. Asgore's teachings left her with a fantastic understanding of living creatures, in particular plants, and even more particularly, flowers. She did learn more than that, however, as Asgore ensured she understood how to end conflicts peacefully - for even as a child, Chara's powers would make her a danger if she did not know how to do this - and medical care on human beings, a craft not often practiced in the underground, in case she needed to help herself or another human. Chara spent a lot of time working with her fathe and absorbed absolutely everything she could of what he knew on these subjects

Hacking 3 (300)

Descriptor: The self-reliant Artificial Intelligence offers its literal hand up to John Connor in offer for ending the war early at home. A simple computer shapeshifter that disables anything electronic within range within an enemy's distance, allowing for simple computer infiltration and information finding.

Essence Cost: 300

Edit: It’s somewhat unclear what this ability does, with the description sounding like a summon of some sort. Additionally, Hacking is not an ability effect. From the description you give, I presume you’re looking for debuff instead, along with modifiers such as affects multiple, indiscriminate, and limited (electronics). If you also wanted hacking as a skill, a master skill could also work.

Ability Effects:
Freezing 5 (500)

Descriptor: When Liquid Nitrogen touches an enemy, it can freeze the enemy in their tracks.

Essence Cost: 500

Edit: Freezing is not an ability effect. Rather, I think you’re looking for debuff. Additionally, if you want it to do many of the things that are associated with a grenade (being thrown, exploding in a area, and, in this case, freezing for more than a few moments), you will need extra modifiers such as ranged, affects multiple, and ongoing.

Damage V (500)

Descriptor: Lilith's lurid tendencies grant her blood manipulation techniques. She can shape objects from up close or at a distance to use for as long as she needs. The damage starts weak initially, only able to leave shallow scratches. It grows in strength the more blood is used; at its peak, Lilith can skewer, slice, and wring her enemies dry with brutal efficiency. Offensive capabilities include making small weapons or tools, shooting small shard or wide arc projectiles, and violently rupturing blood from an open wound. She can supply this ability with herself, or use any other fresh bodies. Expending her own blood is costly, as she needs to take time to regenerate it; however, this is not possible while transformed.[/

Descriptor: ”Shrouded by night, but with steady stride. Colored by blood, but always clear of mind...”

It is not uncommon for hunters to cooperate when taking down larger or more difficult prey. When with a single hunting partner or even multiple, Gascoigne is able to seamlessly modify his combat style to complement that of an ally, always anticipating the next move of their prey and hedging for weakness. Through verbal or nonverbal cues, he can also grant similar benefits to his hunting partner(s).

Descriptor: Chara Dreemurr Was once a judge - someone who was given the power to decide, and then judge, the humanity of someone who she had met. while her main skill of scanning gave her a lot of information, she was further trained in the art of telling truth from lie, knowledge from falsehood, and just what can be told unintentionally by a single facial expression. She's also learned to keep her own emotions away from her face when she's properly prepared, keeping her mind sharp even if her emotions grow hot, though she is still a far cry from her teacher in these aspects.

Beasthood

Ability Effects:
Shapeshifting (Single Form, 1000E)
—Ongoing (+0E)
—Activation (30 seconds, -100E)
—Chaotic (-50)
—Limited (Only works when taking extreme amounts of damage, -50E)

—Ongoing (+0E)
—Activation (30 seconds, -200E)
—Limited (Only while in Beast Form, -100E)
—Side Effect (Feral, -100E)

Descriptor: ”…Beasts all over the shop... You'll be one of them, sooner or later..."

Upon suffering extreme amounts of physical damage, Father Gascoigne may undergo the violent, bloody transformation into a beast. His bones will crack and the sinews of his body will twist as the beastly scourge reaches its unnatural peak— an indescribably painful process. The already quite tall man grows to an immense size (a whopping 12’ tall) and, while maintaining his humanoid shape, becomes very hairy and werewolf-like in appearance. A mane of wild silver hair covers his body, elongated limbs and enlarged canine jaws completing his animalistic image. He is also reduced to a more feral state of mind, something any hunting partners should remain wary of.

This alternate form can be activated over a period of 30 seconds during which Gascoigne must accumulate more and more damage, enough to kill an ordinary man. Beasthood is an ongoing condition that cannot be controlled by Gascoigne, so this alternate form will remain active for an indefinite amount of time following its initial activation. Perhaps a particularly brave ally might be able to draw him out of the haze of blood, stalling the effects of his transformation…

Ability Effects:

GLUTTON FOR PAIN (300E)

Endurance VI (600)
—Limited: Rank up when receiving pain (-300)

The more punishment Lilith takes, the more resilient she becomes. She has an incredibly muscular body and great stamina. As she receives pain over the course of a scene, her Endurance raises. At peak performance, she can chase someone down for hours on end, lose limbs without inconvenience, and resist the stagger of heavy blows.


SADISTIC ADRENALINE (600E)

Agility V (1200)
—Limited: Rank up when inflicting pain (-300)
—Side Effect: Susceptible to stress (-300)

Cruel violence excites Lilith like nothing else. Her body is supple and she can freely present her flexibility, but aside from that, she only has moderate coordination. Inflicting pain on others raises her Agility, up to its maximum effect. Such feats include occasionally avoiding attacks, assaulting with precision, nimble acrobatics, and effortlessly recovering from disorientation. Abusing one person or going on a killing spree equally stimulates her. Consequently, this furor leaves her vulnerable to mental manipulation. Madness, mania, and misery are exacerbated and harder to overcome.

Bullet Hell antagonist

Ability Effects:
Debuff 3 (Agility) - 300 essence
-ongoing: +300 essence
-Activation 2: -300 Essence
-Limited: Only relative to Chara: -150 essence
Debuff 3 (Avoidance-based protection) - 300 essence
-ongoing: +300 essence
-Activation 2: -300 Essence
-Limited: Only relative to Chara: -150 essence

Descriptor: Chara is not a particularly agile, nor fast Human being, nor was she ever a particularly powerful combat mage. Instead, she relied on her ability to read her opponents, learning their weaknesses and then mercilessly exploiting them. The longer she spends reading someone's moves and understanding their particular tricks for protecting themselves, the more she can allow herself to effectively ignore them, reducing the effectiveness of dodging and countering against her knives as she learns to hem in her opponent through careful observation, making avoiding her attacks far more difficult once she's read her opponent.

This ability requires a full half-minute to come online as Chara studies her opponent's movements, but continues to function for the remainder of the battle, once Chara sets up an effective baseline to work with. As this is not a true reduction of the opponent's abilities, and because such insight into muscle movements and other minute tells are too difficult to communicate on the battlefield, this ability only reduces her opponent's abiities relative to Chara herself - against any of Chara's allies, third parties, or just for use navigating the natural terrain or avoiding unrelated hazards, the agility and protection of the opponent will function as normal. As People's tells change fairly dramatically over time, this ability ceases to function once any significant amount of time between battle has passed, and Chara then needs to re-apply Bullet Hell Antagonist.

STAFF EDIT: I don’t think the Limited modifier here is very good, since the Limited modifier stops being an actual negative factor so long as it’s just Chara soloing someone. It doesn’t limit the use of the ability to specific circumstances.

Daemon (1750)

Ability Effects:
Summon (300)
Positive Effects:
Negative Effects: Chaotic (-50)

Damage 3 (300)
Positive Effects: Ranged (150)
Negative Effects:

Sense 1 - Blood (200)
Positive Effects: Indirect (100)
Negative Effects: Limited - Target must be bleeding (-50)

Fusion 2 (1000)
Positive Effects:
Negative Effects: Limited - Can only fuse with Amalia (-100), Side Effect - Amalia has no control (-100)

Descriptor: Description: The daemon resides within Amalia’s liver. It is a malevolent spirit born of mankind’s bloodlust. When manifested it takes the form of a red-skinned humanoid with wiry muscles. Its facial features are exaggerated, with ears sharpened to points, a mouthful of fangs, and a hooked nose. Despite its appearance it is quite well spoken, referring to itself as Kuzuru. It is capable of sprouting blades of varying lengths from its body. These blades remain attached to Kuzuru, but otherwise can extend to pierce distant foes. Finally Kuzuru is capable of tracking adversaries over great distances through the scent of their spilled blood, however they must be actively bleeding or the scent will grow cold.

Kuzuru has a mind of his own and presents himself as a suave and personable character. Behind this, however, he has a profound blood lust and is frequently compelled to indulge. While he won’t attack allies, there are few beings he truly perceives as allies. Amalia has little control over whether she manifests him or not and he generally views her with contempt as he considers her a weak host. Kuzuru can also forcibly fuse his body with Amalia’s, completely taking control away from her and only relinquishing it when incapacitated or by choice.

—Ongoing (+0E)
—Affects Multiple (+200E)
—Activation (10 seconds, -200E)
—Limited (Only works when contact with Gascoigne’s blood is made, -200E)

Descriptor: Frenzy is a painful ailment, manifested physically in brackish thorns growing inside a patient’s chest. The growth won’t kill you, but the insanity they cause might. All enemies who make direct contact with Gascoigne’s blood will be driven into a frenzy over the course of ten seconds. The ailment persists for an ongoing period of time, rendering the afflicted utterly unable to discern friend from foe, even attacking themselves in their feverish state.

Name of Ability?
Power Word: Wound

Ability Effects:
Damage 5 (500)
Positive Modifiers: Ranged (250), Indirect (500)
Negative Modifiers: Weakness - Target cannot hear (-125), Limited - Once per target (-250)

Descriptor: Anders utters a singular word infused with arcane power. Reality shifts around his target, restructuring itself as if the target had always been injured. Skin will split open, muscles will tear, and bones will break if the target is unprotected. Reality, however, does not take kindly to being altered and fortifies itself around the target, making them unable to be affected by Power Word: Wound for several days. Additionally this spell only works if the target can perceive the power word. This means he can affect people, for example, by transmitting his voice over radio.

Essence Cost: 875

STAFF EDIT: Approved, BUT change that Limited modifier to Finite.
