Activity Check
(January 30-February 5)

Hello, everyone! It's time for our first ever monthly activity check!

Having said that, joining a game at its inception is always a bit of a risky undertaking, isn't it? There's no looking back through old events or other posts to get a feel for the game's pacing or atmosphere, after all, and so it takes a leap of faith, in a sense.

With that in mind, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you, our playerbase, for taking that leap of faith; as thanks, this month's activity check will be a simple check-in. On top of that, we are rewarding all current players with one power regain.

In short, in order to pass activity check this month, you need only reply to this post and fill out the form below for your power regain. Note that you can ask for either a brand new power, a power upgrade, or a weapon summon or enhancement.

Player: Yue
Character: Kyouji Kuzunoha
Info: here.
Request: Upgrading his elemental bullet projection. Instead of being limited to only electricity, he'll be able to add ice bullets to his repertoire. Said bullets would do far less damage than regular ones, but might come in handy against fire-based enemies. They have a tiny chance of encasing a part of the enemy's body in a layer of ice when they hit (for example, if he aims for the hand, then the enemy's hand might temporarily be trapped under a layer of ice, which will inhibit their ability to move that hand in the meantime).

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Timpeni
Character: Kongou
Info: here.
Request: Upgrading her energy wave emission to only just make a blast of air around her, but instead, being able to control the wind with much more ease to make huge gusts in whatever direction she wants. Kind of like if she practiced the ability to the point of being able to move the air with ease. With enough magic, she could theoretically even create hurricanes or move entire ships, but everything takes up magic in the end, and they have a limited supply.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Shikki
Character: Dirk Strider
Info: here.
Request: New power! Technomorphism. Ignore pretty much all of the additional power info in there, it's not relevant. At it's beginning stages, the change only adds a little durability and is largely cosmetic and can only be accessed while he's transformed. He's restricted to the brobot form. With subesequent upgrades to this power he could receive enhanced durability and mild transformative abilities, such as changing his hands into tools.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Nerdo
Character: Saber (Arturia Pendragon)
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Mana Burst. An active ability that lets Saber channel raw magic through her body to engage in superhuman feats of strength and athletics. In role-playing game terms, your typical short-term offensive buff. Essentially, rather than using a spell to attack directly or permanently enhancing her weapon, she directs magic inwardly to increase her own physical capabilities like speed and strength.

We would like to see more clarification on this power. How great of a boost would she receive from the offensive buff? How long would it last? Are there any caveats to recasting it immediately after it wears off?

Player: Al
Character: Azula
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Dragon Eyes. The ability to see over great distances and in the dark. Her eyes change shape to be more draconian in nature and glow blue when she gets angry or uses her powers.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Chase
Character: Baby Bonnie Hood
Info: here.
Request: Part of her Destructive Magic upgrade, she'll gain the ability to infuse items no larger than an apple with explosive energy. As specified before, the more magic she uses, the stronger the bombs will be, but that's still at the expense of her own soul gem.

Character: Ryoko Asakura
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Soul Spear. Ryoko's able to channel magic into a few small spears, giving her a weak starting projectile to use against enemies. She can only summon three at a time for a start.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Miki
Character: Briar Beauty
Info: here.
Request: Weapon enhancement: The curved part of her sword sticking out with the blade can grow in length can be used like a whip.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Nao
Character: Noriaki Kakyoin (AU)
Info: here.
Request: New power - giving Kakyoin's paintbrush the ability to switch from red to yellow paint, granting him the ability to manipulate an imitation of sunlight. Drawn with direct contact it could be used to burn an enemy, while using it at range could create a brief blinding flash of light. In a less combat-focused application, he could also simply use it as a small, limited light source.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

lapidarius - 2016-02-06 20:19 (UTC) - Expand

Player: McGwiggles
Character: The Plain Doll
Info: here.
Request: New (Passive) Power - Inanimation.

To put it simply, the Doll now requires a certain amount of insight into the supernatural world in order to be perceived as living/moving/talking. This insight can either come from characters' experiences with the supernatural in their own world, or from from experiencing an significant event in game (ie any sort of mod-run event, a player character turning into a nightmare, etc). Just making a wish on Kyuubey doesn't count.

To anyone with no insight/experience with the supernatural, the Doll is essentially the same, except she appears as a lifeless (but beautifully crafted) life-sized doll.

I'm gonna be real for a second here, mods: This provides no tactical advantages whatsoever, I want this entirely for the misunderstandings and shenanigans it could potentially lead to. Basically the way this would work is that I'd have a permissions post on my journal, explain this premise, and have people say whether or not they'd like their characters to be able to see the Doll (with the opportunity for characters who cannot to gain sight of her at some point, if they want). Cue wacky misunderstandings about the weird mannequin everyone keeps talking to like its a person.

Player: Bee
Character: Lilith
Info: here.
Request: Okay, hear me out: WING SCYTHES. Canonly, Lilith can do some, uh... pretty weird things with her wings... I'd like her to get a new power that allows her to manipulate her wings into becoming cool scythe things! So she can slice and dice stuff with it. No weird spear things or hand wings yet, just sharp.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Jess

Character: Jade Chan
Info: here.
Request: Cat Curse Callback. For now, it would be limited to the feline fangs and claws she had when under the effects of the cat curse, but could eventually be upgraded to include other cat-based powers. Claws could be used either as a weapon, effectively like scalpels on her fingertips, or to help in climbing objects with porous or soft surfaces.

Character: Allen Ridgeley
Info: here.
Request: Blindsight. Essentially, the ability to detect his surroundings without relying on light or even his eyes. It would function as 360 degree vision that's unhindered by darkness, fog or other immaterial hindrances to vision, but is blocked by completely solid objects (not counting clothing) between him and anything further away regardless of transparency. Otherwise, it would work about as far out as normal sight in typical visibility, with objects further in the distance likewise being harder to 'see' in any detail.

Jade's power has been approved.

We would like to see more limitations on Allen's power. As it stands, it is too powerful for a base, unenhanced power.

Player: Neko Sandy
Character: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (Lancer)
Info: Here.
Request: New Power: Stop Time. In exchange for burning out his ability to feel and sense emotion for the next 24 hours, Diarmuid can stop time for 5 seconds. (Future enhancements to the power may lengthen the duration of the ability or shorten the duration of the burn out.) While he is burned out, Diarmuid will not be able to use his shielding power since the shields are literally created from his emotions. However, he will also not be able to feel or sense emotion which may become dangerously attractive during times he is having difficulty controlling his empathy.

If needed, I can definitely add the Time Stopping ability to his permission post right along with his sensing emotions permission.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Rae
Character: Gary Smith
Info: here.
Request: Memory share. The ability to see other people's memories upon touch. This isn't a voluntary thing on his part and when the memory is being shared Gary will feel all the emotions attached to it, negative or positive and the length he's feeling said emotions is dependent on the strength of the memory (longest being only about 20 mins). To clarify, Gary would essentially be experiencing the memory as clearly or vaguely as the person the memory belongs to. So if he gets a memory of someone falling down a flight of stairs but the person's memory is vague then he might only get a sense of the memory. If it's vivid to the other person then Gary will be able to recall it as if it's his own memory. This is all of course with OOC permission!

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Mizu
Character: Genos (AU)
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Shield summoning. A small golden shield, approximately this size, that only block attacks from the front. It can only take three weak hits, or one powerful attack before dissolving. He can summon more, but the more he summons the more corrupted his soul gem becomes.

Genos' power has been approved, but we ask that he be limited to having no more than one shield up at a time.

Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Kobayashi
Character: Rui Ninomiya
Info: here.
Request: Weapon Enhancement: He can now freely manipulate the X-saucer instead of having to physically carry and throw the darn thing all the time now.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player:Star
Character: Shinoa
Info: here.
Request:Weapon enhancement: The ability for her scythe to be generate fire at its blade, i.e. turn into a flaming scythe. The duration (and intensity of fire) is magic-dependent and- before factoring in practice- can be maintained for up to ten seconds continuously at a time. Shinoa is immune to the flames but it may burn everything else the scythe touches- allies, enemies, surrounding foliage.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Ni
Character: Madoka Kaname
Info: Here!
Request: Power Upgrade: Empathic Enhancement: Hope -> Empathic Enhancement: Healing Hope

Along with raising attack and inspiration, her hope is now capable of healing minor injuries for herself and others, namely scrapes, bruises, cuts, basically anything from a sprain or pulled muscle and less injurious.

Edited 2016-02-02 01:11 (UTC)

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Mad
Character: Seishirou Tsugumi
Info: here.
Request: Upgarding her Bullet Generation. Now, she'll be able to generate magical bullets for firearms other than her initial weapon (Beretta M92).

While we have no problems with this request, we would also like to specify that we would have allowed her initial bullet generation to have the capability of creating bullets for any firearm, as well. As a result, we are giving you the option to request an additional power or upgrade.

Player: Stripe
Character: Rose Lalonde
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Magic Blasting

Your generic "magical energy condensed into an attack" power, to give Rose some combat ability. The color of the magic reflects the purity of her gem, and the strength is magic-dependent. To start, a single "blast" would be no bigger than the size of a bowling ball, and the effect would be like being hit with cheap, backyard firecrackers.

Ideally, she would be able to "channel" the power through her needles - it would mostly be an aesthetic thing, to make them look more like wands, and also help her aim a little. But if you think it would be necessary for her to get a weapon upgrade first, then just let me know!

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Shou
Character: Shokudaikiri Mitsutada
Info: here.
Request: New power: Memory of Ookurikara. The ability involves Mitsutada able to project a dragon-shaped extension similar to his friend Ookurikara's tattoo from his sword. It extends his range, the dragon being able to lash out at opponents in coordination with his movements. However, it remains attached to his sword, and drains magic at a high rate.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Groove
Character: Lemmy Koopa
Info: here.
Request: New power: SUMMON BALLS. From his hat, he can pull 5-10 smaller rubber balls (about this size) or one large ball about as tall as he is). They're just bouncy rubber balls. The smaller ones can be used as a distraction or to trip up enemies, and the big one is for riding around on and he has to dismiss one to use the other.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Lepo
Character: Ashley
Info: here.
Request: Weapon Enhancement - Ashley's wand will now be able to create simplistic objects in addition to summoning minions. These share similar restrictions to her minions in terms of overexertion and whatnot. For example, she might be able to summon a broomstick to fly on.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Dante
Character: Asriel Dreemurr
Info: here.
Request: New Power: Star Blazing! Asriel summons stars to rain down on the battlefield, causing small explosions where they land.

We would like to see more limitations on Asriel's power. How many stars can he summon forth at one time? How often would he be able to use this power?

Player: Yue
Character: Dave Strider
Info: here.
Request: New power - item alchemization. With the right materials on hand, Dave will be able to change the forms of items. For example, if he had enough wood on hand, he might be able to fashion himself a baseball bat. I'm mostly going to be using it to create ridiculous item fusions a la the alchemiter. The bigger the item he's trying to make, the bigger the toll on his soul gem.

Edited 2016-02-04 02:15 (UTC)

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.

Player: Rae
Character: Charon
Info: here.
Request: Weapon enhancement. Charon's shotgun can now fire a concussive blast that can potentially daze targets. However, it drains a significant amount of magic to use. He also has to charge for 5 seconds before he can fire.

Approved! Please be sure to update your info post to reflect this change.
