Ability Approval I

[Elise]

User name: Elise

Name of Ability?
Solar Maximum

Ability Effects:
Damage: 5 (500)
Modifier: Ongoing (500)
Indiscriminate: Any Contact (-250)
Finite: Once per Sunrise (-250)
Finite: Fades after One Minute (-250)
Debuff: 1 (100)
Indiscriminate: Any Observer (-50)
Finite: Once per Sunrise (-50)
Finite: Fades after One Minute (-50)

Descriptor: (Building this Ability for Cyrus, since his writer just wants to play their sparkly boy)

Once every solar cycle on a given World, Cyrus can summon up a surge of burning stellar energy from inside himself. In a matter of seconds, his body becomes progressively hotter and brighter, reaching a point of incandescent radiance. Any contact with his superheated body will immediately ignite flammable materials, and prolonged contact can allow him to melt through hardened (though not necessarily reinforced) substances such as masonry or weak metal. If an enemy touches Cyrus with exposed fabrics or similar gear, it is entirely likely this opponent will begin to catch fire.

While Cyrus is at his peak radiance, he gleams with an intense white brilliance that shines like daylight. Anyone without enhanced or indirect senses will have a hard time looking directly at him, which will make it hard to aim abilities at or immediately near him.

Cyrus cannot maintain this output of energy indefinitely, however. Though he can modulate the timing of his heat and light, he will return to his normal, starry glow after a minute of this intensity. Though it does not necessarily exhaust him physically to conjure this outburst, he cannot conjure this energy again until the next sunrise.

[Perona]

User name: Perona

Name of Ability?
Negative Hollow

Ability Effects:
Effect: Debuff - Rank 4 (400)
Modifiers: Ongoing (+100); Affects Multiple (+50); Indirect (+100); Ranged (+50); Weakness (Does not effect the negative; pessimists, the depressed, the soulless, etc) (-25)

Total Cost: 1500

Descriptor: Perona launches a smiling ghost that can phase right through things and people. If it goes through a person it can sap their confidence, bravery, positivity and will to live. This is the most effective on people with over abundance of confidence, ones who never doubt themselves. It has no effect on those who are inherently negative, depressed or soulless.

Descriptor: A long brown-colored duster coat made from the firm skin of one of Kraw’s native reptilian predators, the velociraptor.

New
Damage 3 (300)
---Removable (150)
+ Protection 3 (300)
---Concentration (150)
---Removable (150)
Total: 150

Descriptor: Leo:
Description: Leonardo wields two ninjaken – long, straight blades with square cross-guards. He has trained with them since youth and is very proficient in their use. The blades can also deflect or absorb damage, but he must focus and can't use them for attacking at the same time.

Raph:
Raphael enters battle wielding the dual sais. Though they have minimal striking range (around the same as a knife), they have excellent defensive capabilities, and the tips are sharp. He can block incoming damage but has to concentrate and cannot attack at the same time.

(I've just put the cost as 1 since the price of each move doesn't change)

Essence Cost: 1
STAFF EDIT: An ability's total Essence cost cannot drop below 50E per rank of Effect. Since you have two Effects listed here, Damage and Protection, the math goes like this:

Damage Rank 3 (300) - Removable (150) = 150E.

You then add Protection Rank 3 (300) - Concentration (150), then subtract Removable (150) from Protection's cost as well. The price of Protection Rank 3 cannot be reduced below 50E per rank of Effect, so this stays priced at 150E. So, you add the new total cost of Damage Rank 3 and Protection Rank 3 together to get 300E.

You can remove one of the negative modifiers from the Protection Effect if you want, since it doesn't really affect the price.

 

[Gildarts]

User name: Gildarts

Name of Ability?
Immortalize

Ability Effects:
Debuff (100) R1
Affects multiple (50)

Descriptor: Target’s feet (or means of transport) are frozen in stone for 5 minutes, or meshed with the ground. After the duration is up, the stone simply breaks away, as time has weakened its density. It is meant to be more of a tangle or a net, to gently incapacitate weaker foe. As the ranks increase with this one, the amount frozen would rise as well. Currently Rank 1.

While the person’s feet are frozen they can still attack, they just are unable to use and move their feet, meaning Gildarts couldn’t be chased after until the stone is broken.

Gildarts can do this to up to 5 people.

(Still learning the ability ropes!)

[Malloki Tuwile]

User name: Malloki

Name of Ability?
Voodoo Body

Ability Effects:
Adaptation: Immune to Pain (200E)
--Side Effect (Actively seeks out injury, -50E)

Adaptation: Non-biological Anatomy (300E)
--Finite (Must replenish calories, -50E)
--Side Effect (Varies/See description, -50E)
Total Cost: 350E

Descriptor: The mind-altering experimentation carried out on Malloki has caused him to feel pleasure instead of pain when damage is inflicted on him. He even actively seeks out pain to achieve some semblance of bliss. Unfortunately, this damage can still kill or seriously debilitate him if enough is accumulated, so this is obviously unhealthy.

In addition, even though Malloki’s organs are all located where they should be for an average human, they simply don’t matter. Even grievous wounds to his brain or heart will not stop him from continuing on. However, in conjunction with Malloki's other unique abilities, feeding himself is important to maintaining this effect. If a vital organ is damaged while Malloki is in a "starving" state (described under Living Voodoo), this adaptation will become far less effective and his body will begin to shut down.

Dependent upon which vital organ is damaged, though, Malloki will almost always suffer some negative effect. For example, a bullet to the brain may momentarily function like a flashbang, disorienting him, and any damage to his stomach can make some of his other abilities harder to carry out (specifically the ones relying on the amount of calories he consumes).

[Gildarts]

User name: Gildarts

Name of Ability?
Charm

Ability Effects:
debuff 100
affects multiple 50

Descriptor: Temporarily makes the target more suggestible. The target must be within the immediate vicinity, within ten feet of Gildarts, in order to hear his manly voice. (If it was found acceptable to affect multiple people, each one would have to be in the vicinity to get it to work. It would work on no more than 4 people at a time.) This makes the opponent(s) more suggestible, however it will not dissuade people from doing something their heart is set on doing. It may distract someone during battle slightly but it is more of a persuasion move.

This is one I’m hoping to get to work. Feel free to help, or tell me it won’t work at all if you like. I’d also be interested in having it ‘dice roll related’ as the idea comes from DND.

Essence Cost: 150

STAFF EDIT: Approved, be sure to note the Rank of your Debuff Effect when you add this to your profile! In addition, just know that without the Indirect modifier, this ability cannot affect people who are behind obstacles/around corners etc. If you want to add the Indirect modifier or change this ability in any way in light of this, just resubmit it using the ability approval form.

 

[Gilgamesh]

User name: Gilgamesh

Name of Ability?
Counterspell

Ability Effects:

Limited (Magic) -250

Descriptor: Gilgamesh snaps his fingers and snuffs out any damage-dealing magical spell, up to the level of protection he has.

Essence Cost: 250

STAFF: Approves

 

[Jak]

User name: Jak

Name of Ability?
Eco Reflexes

Ability Effects:
Movement 3- 600
Protection 3-300

Descriptor: this power involves Jak kneeling, clapping his hands above him, and slowing time around him. However, since this power uses blue eco instead of light eco, it is more likely this causes Jak to move faster than his surroundings, only perceiving everything else around him becoming slowed down.

Essence Cost: 900

STAFF EDIT: The Movement effect means that your character can move through or over non-standard terrains normally, such as wall-crawling, burrowing, walking on water. For Each rank, you can move in an additional, odd way. You have Movement Rank 3 here, so what are the 3 non-standard (as in, not just walking/running) ways of movement Jak can utilize?

In addition, how does this ability protect Jak? Does it form a shield or something like that?

 

[The Future Warrior]

User name: Ashe-0

Name of Ability?
Behemoth

Ability Effects:
Updating an ability already possessed. New effects as follows:

Growth 3 (600)
-- Ongoing (300)
Move Object 3 (300)
-- Ongoing (300)
Damage 3 (300)
Speed 1 (200)
-- Ongoing (100)

Descriptor: Ashe is constructed at a large scale, easily several times larger than a 'normal' human-sized creature, though still retains mostly human-like proportions scaled up to something of a matching height. This larger size affords her proportionally greater levels of strength and simple mobility.

Essence Cost: 2100

[Malloki Tuwile]

User name: Malloki

Name of Ability?
Living Voodoo (Upgrade)

Ability Effects:
Damage (100) Rank 4 (Was rank 2)
-- Ranged (+50)
-- Indirect (+100)
-- Trigger (+50)
-- Indiscriminate (-50)
Subtotal 1000 Essence

Healing (200) Rank 4
-- Trigger (+50)
-- Finite (-50)
-- Side Effect (Starvation symptoms) (-50)
Subtotal 600 Essence

Descriptor:

Spoiler

The only thing that has changed is the Damage effect's ranks.

Like a true Voodoo Doll, whenever Malloki takes damage from any source (including from creatures hidden, at range or behind obstacles), some or all of that damage is returned to the attacker. Soon after taking damage, Malloki automatically heals some of the damage taken.

The damage resembles the damage dealt, specifically the appearance of the wounds. While the wounds appear similar, the damage type (and thus any advantage or disadvantage) is lost. This “Voodoo” damage is a force all its own, no matter its appearance. The amount of damage returned is limited to the damage taken by Malloki.

The rapid healing burns calories. While this seems beneficial, prolonged fights can leave Malloki not only unable to maintain healing, but physically starving. Roughly, a cut by a small knife takes around 50 calories to heal. At any given time without prior preparation, Malloki’s diet usually alots him two to three thousand calories over the point of “starvation.” While this seems like a lot to work with, the cost per severity increases quadratically.

As he nears the point of starvation, his movements become sluggish, but dropping too low he can suffer from dizziness, loss of functions, or even complete loss of consciousness. Refilling his calories is a simple means of eating, which can take as little as thirty seconds to consume. Actually digesting enough to gain calories, however, can take up to a minute beyond actually getting the ration down, and is best done BEFORE his calories hit the danger-threshold of 600 or lower. Even then, the gaining of calories through digestion is more of a trickle, rather than a full reset.

Damage inflicted by Living Voodoo specifically triggers after Hex.

[Aku]

User name: Aku

Name of Ability?
Elemental Control: Firey breath

Ability Effects:
Damage (100) rank 3
-- Affects multiple (+50)
-- Affects multiple (+50)
-- Ongoing (100)
-- Finite (-50)
-- Indiscriminate (-50)

Descriptor: Aku is able to breathe fire out of his mouth like a dragon. The fiery flame shoots out like a flamethrower to burn anything in its path. Anything or Anyone that catches fire will be ablaze for four minutes. It is possible to distinguish the burning effect by water, or some other way that can put fires out. The maximum area that the fire spreads or covers are 40 feet.

How long Aku can breathe fire is a total of two minutes until he needs to catch his breath. When he continually breathes fire, the shorter his flames will become. It takes five minutes for Aku to regain enough air into his body.

Essence Cost: 400

STAFF EDIT: This ability looks good, but by my count it would cost 600E, not 400E. If you meant 600E, I'll approve it at that, but if you'd like to adjust anything so the ability is reduced to 400E, please resubmit it!

[The Future Warrior]

User name: Ashe-0

Name of Ability?
Defense & Repair Matrix

Ability Effects:
Protection 3 (300)
-- Ongoing (300)
Healing 1 (200)
-- Ongoing (100)

Descriptor: Ashe's construction incorporates materials which are relatively lightweight and of similar density to an organic creature of similar build, though of a surprising robustness and durability comparable to most forms of lighter combat-grade armor. Complimented by an internal array of energy dissipators and disruptors to cope with particularly grievous impacts and external forces, it affords surprising protection with no external giveaways to its presence.

It is combined with a set of nanotech fluids, which flows through Ashe's body in a similar way that blood does in living creatures, and which carris a host of micro-scaled repair droids which constantly work to mitigate and repair damage at a slow, but constant rate to dramatically prolong effective lifespan of deployments without needing actual downtime and repairs.

[King Kong]

User name: Fox Mccloud

Name of Ability?
Fox Illusion

Ability Effects:
Damage (100) rank 3
--Finite (-50)
--Side Effect (-50)

Speed (200) rank 4
--Finite (-50)
--Side Effect (-50)

Protection (100) rank 5
--Finite (-50)
--Side Effect (-50)

Descriptor: This unique ability is a signature attack that Fox darts forward at incredible speeds. When in the process of darting, he leaves an afterimage of himself that collide briefly against the target before coming to an abrupt halt past few feet from the target. The afterimage is barely to be seen due to the incredible speed. The result of being stuck by this dash will damage the target and often knocks opponents off their feet. Also, if Fox gets attacked in the process of this move, he will essentially "skip" through opposing attacks. Which means he will narrowly avoid taking full damage.

However, If the opponent's attack is very powerful, then the ability to "skip" these attacks won't work. The downside of doing this move, Fox can only do it three times. After the three uses are up, he will need to catch his breath, which takes 2 minutes. In the meantime, running for him will be slower than before until he regains enough oxygen in his lungs.

Essence Cost: 400

STAFF EDIT: The actual total Essence cost for this ability would be 800E. Remember that even with modifiers, the price of an ability cannot drop below 50E per rank of Effect.

That would mean that the Damage 3 (with modifiers) total cost is 150E, the Speed 4 (w/ modifiers) total cost is 400E, and the Protection 5 (w/ modifiers) total cost is 250E.

 

[Malloki Tuwile]

User name: Malloki

Name of Ability?
Who Do You Voodoo B****!

Ability Effects:
Damage (100) (Rank 5)
--Ranged (+50)
--Indirect (+100)
--Removable (-50)
--limited (Cannot deal direct damage to anyone/thing directly) (-50)
--Side Effect (Potentially debilitating depending on damage)(-50)
--Finite (-50)
Subtotal: 250 Essence

Illusion (100) (Rank 2) (visual only)
--Ongoing (+100)
--Limited (Malloki must be able to "harm" himself with it directly) (-50)
--Removable (-50)
--Finite (-50)
Subtotal: 100 Essence

Descriptor: Malloki can manifest a visual illusionthat he may use to directly bring himself harm or use to achieve self-harm in some way. This is by all means merely a visual illusion, except that it can be "taken" much like a solid object if the user has the intent to do so and can be used by others, though only against Malloki. Larger or more complicated items can take longer to conjure, while simple small items can be manifested in a few seconds.

In the hands of Malloki, he may "harm" himself with the illusion. The illusion tool causes no damage, but he may instead select a Hexed target that he can perceive and inflict Voodoo damage onto that target. The wound appears similar to what the tool would inflict.

Though Malloki does not take damage, he feels the "pain" of any wound inflicted upon himself and may be debilitated as if he had actually taken the damage, such as a gunshot to the head can leave him stunned for a few moments.

If in the hands of another, the weapon can be used against Malloki to induce the standard side effects without targeting a Hexed creature. The wielder may use the blade against him/herself to deal damage to Malloki, but feels the pain themself.

The illusion lasts five minutes or until the wielder willingly releases it. The weapon shatters much like glass when timed out or dismissed. Once the illusion ends, a replacement may not be summoned for thirty seconds, at which point the fragments dissipate. The shrapnel cannot be used as a weapon.

Essence Cost: 350
