Ability Approval I

[Jade Callisto]

Username: Jade Callisto

Name of Ability?
Master Skill: Cooking 4

Ability Effects:
Craft (Cooking 4) (200): Jade is very much great at cooking, so much so that it is more than a hobby and good enough to be in a career.

Descriptor: Upgrade of Master Skill: Cooking 1

Essence Cost: 150

Staff edit: It seems you've forgotten to change the total essence cost here, as Cooking 4 is 200 - which you have correct for the effect cost but not for the total essence cost. With the stipulation that it is, in fact, 200 essence, approved.

 

[Chara Dreemurr]

Username: Chara Dreemurr

Name of Ability?
Nail Gun

Ability Effects:
Damage 4 (400)
-Ranged (+200)
-Finite (-200)
-removable (-200)

Descriptor: A gift for Good luck granted by the good and trustworthy Karl Jak for this last Markovian endeavor, the Nailgun fires a rapid stream of nails that can shred targets on impact, as long as those targets lack the gift of good old-fashioned armor. Like any gun, it shoots far and is actually great for pin-point accuracy, but like all guns you can like, kick it out of Chara's hands, or wait for her to run out of ammo and have to reload. It's not Chara's first choice, but is a way to save her magical stamina and a handy reserve weapon.

Engineering 10
Biology 10
Reverse Engineering 10

Altanis is possessed of a startlingly keen mind that is highly adept at researching and understanding things in many fields. With a combination of knowledge ranging from the arcane and mystical, to the scientific and methodical, to the carefully-crafted and meticulous, her dedication to and skill at understanding, deciphering and even re-creating all manner of phenomena and technology is phenomenal.

Effects

People Reading 10
Battlefield Leadership 10
Intimidation 10
Multitasking 10
Critical Thinking 10

Altanis is concerned with one thing and one thing only, when it comes to those under her command: results. She will employ whatever methods needed to ensure loyalty and obedience. She can artfully read people like a book, even outside of common physical cues and body language to tell them exactly what they need to hear, and exert such an awe-inspiring and unnerving presence that she brokers few, if any, questions or backtalk. She has an almost uncanny and precise ability to nearly seamlessly juggle and handle multiple tasks at once. She likewise possesses a remarkable knack for clear and concise logic and reasoning, able to keep her cool and think clearly even under pressure.

Lead by Example (400 -> 500)

Effects

Tactics 10
Battle Strategy 10
Ambush 10

While she prefers a more hands-off leadership role, Altanis is no stranger to more...close-quarters and frantic command.

Effects

Subterfuge 10
Manipulation 10
Negotiation 10
Domination 10
Empathy 10

Altanis is accustomed to getting what she wants by any means necessary, and over countless years has become quite skilled at doing precisely that.

She can present things in ways that get her what she wants while seeming to mostly or even entirely benefit other parties. She spins words and situations to forcibly take control of and steer conversations and entire discussions seamlessly without an opportunity for anyone else to interject, making it seem like agreement is only natural and expected, reading emotional and situational cues to carefully and artfully spin situations into even making it seem like it was their idea to let her lead things.

Creature of Lore (500)

Effects

Knowledge: Languages 10
Knowledge: Law 10
Knowledge: Contracts 10
Knowledge: Religion 10
Knowledge: Mythology 10

To a creature like Altanis, knowledge is power in its most literal sense. She rose from her original, lowly station as a mere imp via voraciously acquiring knowledge and skills to manipulate her way into better, and better positions.
She is well-versed in myriad languages, and has developed an uncanny knack for deciphering and quickly translating or learning them.
Thanks to a stint as a crossroads demon, she is well-versed in the intricacies of not only various laws and customs, but legal systems and navigating them.
Her knowledge of contracts and legal documents, both in the writing of and analyzing them for weaknesses,, flaws and loopholes is truly extraordinary.
Stemming from her infernal upbringing, it is only natural she be well-informed and aware of all things religious and divine, if only so she may recognize actual iconography and worship sites, and discern True Faith wherever it may lie or know if some blustering preacher is all hot air.
There is a vast breadth of lore concerning the supernatural; tall tales and folk stories, legends and exaggerated tales, rumors and whispers of things that go bump in the night. Their origins, traits, and countless other facts. As someone who has both fought against and recruited countless races and beings beyond measure, she has memorized a veritable encyclopedia of such information.

Effects

Charisma 10
Leadership 10
Management 10
Political Intrigue 10
Public Speaking 10

Though originally born into the the lowliest of the low, Altanis has never let it stop her. She has managed to climb hand over fist from where she started to claim what can only be called her 'rightful place' as a natural leader. She is incredibly adept at leveraging the natural, impossible to truly define quality of 'something extra' that attracts and inspires others, as much natural gift as hard-won and learned lesson in the delicate arts and maneuvers of the noble courts and higher echelons of society in all its forms. Ensuring order and civility in areas under her control even in times of peace, navigating the intricacies of ensuring matters are properly delegated and all needed supplies and tasks are accounted for.

Effects

Infernal Appeal 10
Body Language 10
Breadth of Society 10
Silver Tongue 10
Cutting Words 10

Altanis is a complicated creature, to be sure. In all her countless years she has seen and done much, and is not afraid to put every last ounce of her repertoire to use at any given moment.
She can and will even go as far as leveraging combinations of her natural looks and the witty charm and guile of a succubus to get her way.
She is adept at using her own body language and mannerisms to convey a great deal, both truthful and misleading to hide her true intentions, and reading the most subtle of tells and twitches in others.
She has risen from the uncountable lowest dregs of the underworld to the gilded silver towers of high nobility and can easily (though perhaps not willingly) find some common ground with nearly any level of society.
She is a masterful wordsmith, able to artfully and cleverly spin the most sweet and honeyed words you've ever heard, telling you exactly what you want to hear to get what she wants and put them greatly at ease.
Simultaneously, she can be a truly venomous and aggressive speaker, able to expertly taunt and verbally torment others seemingly on the fly, to deliberately antagonize and distract others.

Master of Arms (300)

Effects

Combat Mastery: Martial Arts 6
Weapon Mastery: Swords 6
Weapon Mastery: Axes 6
Weapon Mastery: Spears 6
Weapon Mastery: Whips 6

[Serial Designation V]

Username: V

Name of Ability?
Healing Saliva

Ability Effects:
Healing 4 (800)
-- Self/Other (+100)
– Triggered (Put into V’s mouth/contact with her saliva) (+200)
– Limited (Only fully works on nanite acid wounds) (-400)
– Indiscriminate (-200)

Descriptor: A feature that was only added to later models of disassembly drones after the repeated incidents of self-destructive losses due to their own tail stingers began to reach comical levels. Their saliva has a unique effect, able to quickly and effectively neutralize the acid they produce in their tails, within only a few moments of exposure. It even has some healing and regenerative effects, able to mend and patch up the worst of the damage and degradation caused by the acid’s effects.

It’s certainly a handy feature, but…there are some problems with it. Namely, it only reaches full efficacy on wounds derived from the nanite acid disassembly wounds, as it uses the nanites themselves as material to repair the damage, rendering it much less effective against almost any other source of injury. They also couldn’t quite figure out how to iron out the ‘it works on everything’ part. Anything that can jam its acid-wounded extremities into V’s mouth, or get otherwise doused in her slobber, will benefit from the healing and neutralizing effects.

(Note: I'm unsure if this would or wouldn't require Self/Other, since it can be voluntarily used on both herself and other people, but it can also just kind of...happen, if anyone gets her slobber on them. I don't mind either way, as it's a minimal cost difference.)

Essence Cost: 500

STAFF EDIT: Approved. This application would require Self/Other in addition!

 

[Mickey Mouse]

Username: Mickey Mouse

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: "Keyblade" --> "Keyblade: Ultima Weapon"

Ability Effects:
Damage Rank 6 (600)
-- Removable (-300)

[Mickey Mouse]

Username: Mickey Mouse

Name of Ability?
Upgrading: "Agile Claws" --> "Formchange: Agile Claws"

Ability Effects:
Damage Rank 7 (700E)
-- Removable (-350E)
Movement: Wall-Crawling (200E)
-- Removable (-50E)

Total: 500
Original "Agile Claws" Price: 350

Descriptor: Mickey's Keyblade has the ability to transform into more varied weapons, such as the Agile Claws, an invention of some of the Monsters from Monstropolis. When Mickey activates this function of the Keyblade, it splits into two parts and literally rearranges its parts into the Agile Claws, a pair of metallic claws that latch onto both of his hands like gauntlets. These essentially act like brass knuckles or Wolverine's claws from a combat perspective, allowing Mickey to swipe and slash at enemies. They also allow him to climb walls more easily. Like the Keyblade, these weapons are not a part of Mickey's body and he can be disarmed.

Original "Counter Shield" Price: 750

Descriptor: Mickey’s Keyblade has the ability to transform into the Counter Shield, a great instrument of protection crafted by the gods of Olympus themselves! The shield can protect against mighty blows, and when struck dead on, will also immediately launch a counter-attack: a great stone fist will burst forth from the center of the buckler, launching at the origin point of the attack it just defended the Mickster from and threatening to sock it to whoever is there, though it can’t reach farther than ten feet.
