Physical Description:

As an artificial Pokémon created through horrible cloning and DNA scientific experiments, Mewtwo bears a certain likeness to its genetic parent Mew, as its name implies, yet at the same time it is greatly different.

It is a bipedal humanoid creature bearing some feline features, most notably the shape of its legs and its large tail. Its other notable features include the two short, blunt horns imitating cat ears, its large purple eyes, its twin spines manifesting as both a regular neck and a tube reminiscent of a teacup's handle that extends from the back of its skull to the nape of its neck, and its three digits on both its hands and feet. Unlike its pink-skinned parent, Mewtwo's skin is colored gray and purple.

While its tail and head are well developed its chest and arms are thin and regressed as a result of its DNA being tampered with, as the scientists who made it focused on its psychic powers rather than its body. This is also why Mewtwo has two spines.

Character History:

Mewtwo woke up in the stasis tube of a laboratory belonging to the scientist Dr. Fuji, who explained to it that it was a clone of Mew created by humans and enhanced to be more powerful than its original. Being treated as not a sentient being, but an experiment, Mewtwo became enraged and destroyed the laboratory. Shortly after Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, made his appearance offering Mewtwo to help it learn to control its powers, speaking of partnership. For weeks Mewtwo assisted Team Rocket with its powers but it couldn't find an answer to its most pressing question: What is my destiny? Why am I on this world? When Giovanni provided his answer telling the clone Pokemon that its destiny was to serve humans and that they could never be equals, let alone partners, Mewtwo blasted away and in its rage vowed to find out its destiny and, in the process, wipe out any opposition.

After building its fortress on the very island that had once housed Dr. Fuji's lab it invited several powerful trainers, including the protagonist Ash Ketchum, where it displayed to them the superiority of clone Pokémon in three mirror battles that the clones handily won. It proceeded to steal the trainers's Pokémon to create more clones and announced that the planet would be destroyed by the storms it summoned, with only the clones remaining safe as they had earned the right to live by proving themselves superior to regular Pokémon.

That was when Mew, Mewtwo's 'original' and thus its genetic parent, appeared on the scene. Mewtwo decided to prove once and for all that clones were stronger by defeating its original, and engaged it in a fierce battle. The other Pokémon and its clones battled everywhere on the island while Mew and Mewtwo clashed repeatedly, until Ash interferred but got caught in the crossfire of Mew's and Mewtwo's powerful beam attacks and subsequently was turned to stone. Deeply saddened at the loss of its trainer Pikachu began to cry, moving the other Pokémon and clones to tears and magically reviving Ash as these tears came together. Deeply moved by this scene and through it the realization that the Pokémon's true power came not from their strength but the heart, Mewtwo admitted that clone or original, strong or weak, born or created do not matter, only what one does with their life. As it flew away with its cloned Pokémon and Mew it wiped the memories of everyone involved for the better of all, and stopped the catastrophic storms.

Where Mewtwo went, only its group would know. It departed for the tropical forests of Guyana (northern Africa) that were the birthplace of Mew to look back and rethink its life and destiny while giving its clones a safe place to live... but it did not arrive there.

Abilities/Skills:

Telepathy
Being a Pokémon Mewtwo cannot say anything other than "Mewtwo" with its voice. Instead it uses telepathy to transmit what it wants other people to hear to their mind. While this does not require the other party/-ies to have a Communication Device of their own, its reach is limited to ~1km and requires Mewtwo to see the person. Despite it being genderless, Mewtwo's mental voice is masculine.
Fluff: Outside of using it in a targeted fashion Mewtwo can also 'broadcast' its thoughts so everyone within hearing distance can hear it - as if it were speaking, basically. This form of Telepathy is subject to the same limits as speech (walls can stop it, other sources can drown it out, others can eavesdrop on it) and can even be heard/recorded by machines like a video camera or a microphone.

Communication (Rank 1 - 100)

Total: 100


Levitation
4833889-mewtwo+3.gif
By applying its psychic powers to itself Mewtwo is able to levitate and fly around freely. When using this Mewtwo's eyes glow with a bright blue color. As it costs a great deal of concentration to maintain however, any non-trivial distraction will break the effect.

Flight (Rank 1 - 200)
with Ongoing Modifier (100)

Total: 300


Barrier
latest
A psychic-type move known to a relatively small number of Pokémon, Barrier features in both Mew's and Mewtwo's movepools as a powerful defensive ability, erecting a force field-like bubble around themselves to guard its relatively fragile body. Its size is both an advantage and a disadvantage: while allies can squeeze in with Mewtwo, so can opponents. Because the bubble functions like an aura rather than a wall, anyone inside the bubble benefits from its protection effect even if the attacks come from inside, including from Mewtwo itself. This forces it to either deactivate Barrier or protect its opponent unless it can move out of melee distance.

Protection (Rank 3 - 300)
with Ongoing Modifier (300)
with Affects Multiple Modifier (150)
with Nondiscriminating Modifier (-150)

Total: 600


Shadow Ball

While normally a Ghost-type move this attack, which consists of concentrating one's energy into a black sphere the size of a melon and firing it at the target, features in a surprisingly great number of Pokémon's arsenals. It is Mewtwo's preferred method for direct attacks at range.

Damage (Rank 4 - 400)
with Ranged Modifier (200)
with Weakness Modifier (-100): Shadow Ball has no effect on creatures whose bodies are made of or contain upwards of ~20% materialized darkness, shadow, dark matter or similar substances, or who are protected by armor/shields/barriers that contain likewise amounts of such a substance. Those with less than the threshold suffer reduced damage instead, e.g. half for someone with 10%.

Total: 500

Generall, when you activate an Ability, all of its Effects "go off" at the same time. You'll need "Ongoing" to float for longer than a few seconds as well. My suggestion would be, for now, dump Affects Multiple and Concentration, and get Ongoing on it. Then get a "make others float" Ability later on.

It's written right there in Flight that I'd need Ongoing and I read it then forgot about it...
why-are-you-like-this-me-irl-28060053.png


Change has been done! I'll just go flinging others around another day. Also reduced Flight to Rank 1 as even with Concentration I wouldn't be able to afford it at the moment, and changed the description and image accordingly.
Forgot to ask this, but would Barrier's Protection also need Ongoing or is that implied? If it does, I'd like to change it to the following:

Protection (Rank 3 - 300)
with Ongoing Modifier (300)
with Affects Multiple Modifier (150)
with Nondiscriminating Modifier (-150)

Total: 600

Which would leave me with 100 Essence to spare (1400 spent)

@Protection

That's really up to you. The Ongoing Effect makes the barrier permanent until you get knocked out, it's broken, or you deactivate it. It becomes a fire and forget defensive ability. If you want that you'll have to add the Ongoing Modifier.

That was fast :D Thanks Trixie!

And yeah, it's definitely intended to be something to be kept up through a battle rather than to last for moments at a time and be constantly recasted. In that case I'm altering the application to make Barrier like I wrote it in my previous post.

EDIT: Looks like I can't even do four-digit math. With all the edits I'm coming to 1500 exactly, not 1400.
