Ability Approval I

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

User name: Tenshi Hinanawi

Name of Ability?
(Updating) Sword of Hisou

Ability Effects:
Damage 3 (300)
— Removable (-150)

Debuff 1 (100)
— Ongoing (+100)
— Removable (-50)

Descriptor: Tenshi wields an ancient Celestial artifact — called the Hisou-no-Tsurugi — which grants her command of living beings’ spirits in the form of red mist. Though lacking its fiery blade by default, celestials like her can activate and thus use it. To any other person, it is as good as any other stick. This sword, which feeds on negative emotion, lacks weight but is definitely hot enough to slice through its enemies. It also drains their spirit, making them more tired with every hit they take.

Essence Cost: 300

Staff Edit: Approved.

 

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

User name: Tenshi Hinanawi

Name of Ability?
Keystone Formation

Ability Effects:
Variable Creation (200)
— Concentration (-50)

Descriptor: Tenshi has the ability to form keystones. For now, the size of stones she can make seems to be greatly reduced. Keystones physically look and act just like ordinary rocks, their only discerning feature being giant “shimenawa” ropes tied around them. They can either appear out of thin air, or be formed out of stone pulled off the ground.

(end note: This is part of splitting "Keystones" into two separate functions. The original, of course, will be dispatched)

Essence Cost: 150

Staff Edit: Approved.

 

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

User name: Tenshi Hinanawi

Name of Ability?
Keystone Control

Ability Effects:
Move Object 1 (100)
— Ongoing (+100)
— Ranged (+50)
— Limited: Only on Keystones (-50)

Protection 1 (100)
— Ranged (+50)

Descriptor: Inherited from her now-divine bloodline, Tenshi has control over keystones. Similar to forming them, the ease with which she moves stones around has diminished. She is able to move them through the air which, among many other things, allows her to guard an ally from attack.

(end note: Part of splitting "Keystones")

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

User name: Tenshi Hinanawi

Name of Ability?
Keystone Danmaku

Ability Effects:
Damage 2 (200)
— Ranged (+100)
— Affects Multiple (10 foot radius) (+100)
— Concentration (-100)
— Indiscriminate (-100)
— Side-effect: Tiring (-100)

Descriptor: Mimicking the style of battle done in Gensokyo, Tenshi fires a volley of rocks at an area of her choice. She could end up hitting her friends if not properly aimed, though. It’s also mildly draining to use, and begins to feel uncomfortable after about ten uses.

Essence Cost: 100

Staff Edit: Approved.

 

[Summer]

User name: Jo'on Yorigami

Name of Ability?
Shakedown

Ability Effects:
Move Object II (200)
Ongoing (200)

Descriptor: Jo’on’s got a lot of anger and strength wrapped up in a short package. In a fight, she’s no stranger to throwing people around like ragdolls. Or lifting ‘em up and giving ‘em a good shakedown.

Essence Cost: 400

Staff Edit: Approved.

 

[Little Ghost]

User name: Little Ghost

Name of Ability?
Age of Kings

Ability Effects:
Growth (200) rank 1
Modifiers: Ongoing (50); Activation (-100)

Descriptor: Accessing his own self through all possible timelines, bridging the gap through the King's Brand upon his brow, Little Ghost grows into the form of his adult self. Leaving his "teenaged" form behind, Little Ghost grows to a staggering 8 feet in height, his horns growing to a 17 inches in length. Growing proportionally this more than doubles the reach of his Pure Nail as the weapon grows at the same rate with Little Ghost. The end result being, as far as the Pure Nail is concerned, that the weapon acquires a blade length of 5 feet, and an additional reach of 3.5 feet due to his arms, making its total reach 8.5 feet while Little Ghost is in his Adult Form due to Age of Kings.

Growing to his adult form is a permanent shift and it takes 1 minute of concentrated effort. Reverting to his "teenaged" form is an equal 1 minute process. Due to this being a permanent shift until reversed, all posts should be tagged with Adult Form whenever Age of Kings is active.

Essence Cost: 150

Staff Edit: Approved.

 

[Labor 9]

User name: Labor 9

Name of Ability?
Hiyoko's Head

Ability Effects:
Sense R1 + Indirect + Concentration

Descriptor: When being turned into Labor 9, Hiyoko's old head was kept as a keepsake, and she can now register anything it sees hears or feels with enough concentration.

Essence Cost: 150

Staff Edit: In the future it would be best if you could add the prices of the effect and modifiers as well- but approved!

 

[SpartanB242]

User name: SpartanB242

Name of Ability?

Ability Effects:
Damage (300) rank 3
Modifiers: Ranged (150), Finite (-150), Removable (-150)
Concealment (300) Rank 1
Modifiers: Ongoing: 100

Descriptor: The M6C Magnum Socom Sidearm is used by special operation personal by the United Nations Space Command and Office of Naval Intelligence. Featuring 12+1 capacity, an integrated suppressor, and muzzle break for quiet professional work.

Essence Cost: 550

Staff Edit: Unless this gun actually conceals your character, you don’t need to give it Concealment- you can just give it the damage ranks, even if it has a silencer.

Name of Ability?
Telepathy

Ability Effects:
Communication - Rank 1 (100)
Modifiers: N/A

[Apra]

User name: Ancell

Name of Ability?
Aviankind—Vast Mana Reserves + Aviankind—Frail Body

Ability Effects:
Endurance 5 (500)
--Side-Effect (Fragility) (-250)

Descriptor: Ancell’s body contains a tremendous amount of magical power swirling around within it, which as well as obviously allowing him to use his powers with little fear of tiring also boosts his stamina and even enables him to endure tremendous amounts of pain and continue functioning.

+

Due to his slender, lightweight build and hollow, bird-like bones, Ancell is far more fragile than the average human, and is especially vulnerable to bludgeoning damage; his bones can be easily broken by most people who make use of weapons such as hammers or maces.

Essence Cost: 250

 

[Apra]

User name: Ancell

Name of Ability?
Thought of Glacier—Motion

Ability Effects:
Move Object 1 (100)
--Ongoing (100)
--Indirect (100)
--Ranged (50)
--Limited (Ice & Snow) (-50)

Descriptor: Ancell possesses the Ability to telekinetically lift and toss around lumps of ice, which he most commonly uses in conjunction with his "Thought of Glacier—Creation" Ability, though in locations in which ice and snow are naturally present (e.g. most parts of Inverxe), he can also make use of those.

Quick Question: If I was to use this Ability to manipulate weapons/shields created through use of Variable Creation (i.e. the above mentioned "Thought of Glacier—Creation" Ability), would I be required to buy Damage & Protection Effects as part of this Ability as well, or would it be enough to have those on the main Ability?

If they don't need to be bought twice, great.
If they do, just let me know and I'll re-submit this Ability with those additions once I have the Essence for it.

Essence Cost: 300

Staff Edit: Approved - and no, you don't need to purchase Damage and Protection with this ability as long as it's using your existing Creation ability's creations. However, if you wanted to alter it to routinely use the environment around you to protect yourself, that would be a sensible investment.

Spoiler

Whenever anyone within 20 feet of Ahana is in any way harmed, golden flames break out spontaneously over the injured area, before receding when the healing is complete, leaving fresh, unblemished skin behind. This ability cannot be deactivated and affects herself, allies and enemies alike.

Ahana's aura is currently able to heal one likely-fatal injury (e.g. being impaled on a greatsword) per person in only a few seconds, with the time taken for more and less serious wounds being longer and shorter, respectively. In addition, the aura is so powerful that it can even allow people to survive ordinarily fatal damage to their vital organs (e.g. decapitation) long enough to be healed.

Also, though this cannot be seen by the naked eye as it occurs on a microscopic level, her aura actually repairs all damage done by diseases, toxins and even radiation faster than it can be inflicted, rendering everyone within range effectively immune to these hazards.

This Ability cannot be deactivated and affects herself, allies and enemies alike.

Ahana's aura is currently able to heal one instantly fatal injury per person every few seconds, with the time taken for more and less serious wounds being longer and shorter, respectively. In addition, the aura is so powerful that it can even allow people to survive ordinarily fatal damage to their vital organs (e.g. decapitation) long enough to be healed.

Also, though this cannot be seen by the naked eye as it occurs on a microscopic level, her aura actually repairs all damage done by diseases, toxins and even radiation faster than it can be inflicted, rendering everyone within range effectively immune to these hazards.

Note that this Ability only heals, it does not repair. This means that: a) it doesn’t fix torn clothing and armour, and; b) it is completely ineffective on fully robotic characters (and potentially ineffective on cyborgs, depending on whether their biological or mechanical parts are the ones damaged). It also won’t affect true undead (though “infected”-type zombies are fine); targets must be both living and organic in order to be healed.

Lastly, all of the Adaptation Effects in this Ability are tied into Ahana's healing magic. As such, if she is ever prevented from healing a character for whatever reason, those also cease to affect that character.

[Ahana Varma]

User name: Ahana Varma

Name of Ability?
You Have My Permission To Die

Ability Effects:
Debuff 6 (600)
--Ranged (300)
--Ongoing (600)
--Limited (Living Organic/Requires Vocalisation) (-300)

Descriptor: Ahana verbally gives a target her permission to die, and in so doing bestows upon them a curse which prevents them from being affected by all forms of supernatural healing (e.g. magic, divine power, chakra, ki, etc.). This Ability has no effect on scientific (or pseudo-scientific) means of healing (e.g. Wolverine’s healing factor, nanobots, etc.), however. It also affects only living, organic matter, so, for example, it would keep a cyborg’s flesh from being healed by magic, but not prevent their robotic parts from being magically repaired.

After being activated, the curse lasts until: a) Ahana verbally gives the target her permission to live; b) it wears off automatically after twenty-four hours have passed, or; c) someone else is able to remove it with a "Dispel Magic"-type Ability of high enough rank (lower ranked dispels can still weaken it, but will not fully remove the debuff).

Note that because this Ability requires vocalisation, if Ahana is for any reason unable to speak then she cannot use it. That said, the limiting factor is only whether or not she can say the words; whether the target themselves can hear them is not important, so it works just fine on deaf characters.

Essence Cost: 1200

Staff Edit: You'll need Indirect for this if the target doesn't have to hear it for it to be effective.

 

[Sosina]

User name: Sosina

Name of Ability?
Knowledge (Overseer)

Ability Effects:
Minion and Casualty Discount (3 rank)

Descriptor: With her training on how to handle and take care of workers and soldiers under her watch Nola also knows how to reduce the costs of taking care of them and how to reduce the resources needed to get them

Essence Cost: 300

Staff Edit: As Perks are 300 per rank, this should cost 900 at rank 3. If you want it to be rank 1 for 300 that's fine, however- or 900 at rank 3 is fine as well.
