Powers

[Callista]

Callista
Umbramancer + Occultamancer



Vampires are historically unholy beings, undead creatures bound by magic to the mortal plane. They are unnaturally strong and prey upon mortals to feast on their blood and flesh.



*Hypnotism


Callista, with a great amount of magic, can lull people into a trance-like state of being or sleep, to make it easier for her to bite her victims, or to simply bend their will. In extreme cases, it can make the victim go insane and lose their sense of identity and thought, making them her mindless slave.

Drawback: This is not easy to do and requires immense focus and use of magic. The easiest form of hypnosis to use is light mind control. She cannot do this on a regular basis. The stronger the mortal's will, the longer it will take for the hypnotism to take effect, if it does at all.

Cooldown: 24 hours or more, depending on the difficulty of the form of hypnosis. Making someone sleep can take up to 48, and mind-breaking is an unimaginable amount of strain since it has to be done over a long period of time.




*Regenerative Healing

Callista can heal herself after being minorly injured. This does not work as effectively on larger wounds and cannot bring her back from being destroyed or killed again.

Drawback: Is only useful for minor injuries. Takes a long amount of time and energy.

Cooldown: 48 hours, roughly.







*Shapeshifting

Callista can shapeshift to make herself appear more human, or to transform herself into an animal or even a cloud of fog or shadow. She can also grow huge batlike wings to allow her to fly.

Drawback: The more dramatic the transformation, the more power and concentration it takes. Particularly extreme transformations can leave Callista completely exhausted after the fact and tend to cause migraines.

Cooldown: About 8 hours.




*Near-Immortality

Vampires cannot be killed by most ways humans can. However, in order to stay alive, they need to feast upon mortal flesh and blood, or they will eventually wither away back into a corpse and stay dead. Callista does not physically age, no matter how many years pass.
She CAN be killed by extended exposure to pure silver, holy water, and sunlight,  as well as complete decapitation, and a stake through the heart. Extreme religious iconography and exposure to crucifixes can't kill a vampire but will make them weak and unhealthy.




*Superhuman Strength, Senses, and Reflexes

Compared to a human, Callista is insanely strong and fast. She can easily lift hundreds of pounds as if it were nothing, can see accurately in the dark, and can run at inhuman speeds. However, this all can cause her to be injured if she is not concentrating hard enough, and she is extremely sensitive to noise, lights, bright colors, smells, and strong tastes. Using her superhuman powers is physically taxing and she cannot do it on a regular basis, only when she needs to.

[Emily]

Emily

Active Powers:
* Blink and You'll Miss Me
Emily has the ability to travel (or blink as she refers to it) between different spots in both time and space through using the folds in the universe to create shortcuts. This is her most used and useful ability and it allows her to be incredibly mobile and a useful infiltrator to enemy locations.

Drawbacks:
Overuse or excessively large jumps in space/time will cause Emily some physical problems including exhaustion, nausea, loss of balance, short-term memory or sensory issues and loss of consciousness. Also, Emily can only transport herself and a maximum of one other person or large object with her at any time otherwise she risks physical injury by accidentally leaving something (including body parts) behind.

* My Shield is My Sword
Emily has the ability to produce force fields to shield herself and others from damage. These are created from manifestations of Emily's own will and generally need her full concentration to produce and keep standing.

Drawbacks:
Emily's shielding abilities do not protect against damage from falling and in fact are hard and would be the equivalent of landing on solid concrete and they also cannot block against any magical attacks. Also, as Emily needs to concentrate to produce one, there is a limit to the amount she can produce and trying to overexert herself will lead to injury which, in the worst case scenario, would be a massive aneurysm in her brain.

Passive Powers:

*Hand to Hand Combat
Emily is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. She rarely uses weapons and instead likes to take on her opponents with her fists and creative use of her active abilities.

FInally, Emily has several abilities which stem from her non-human DNA, these include:

* Faster reflexes
* Enhanced strength due to denser muscle tissue
* Deeper layer of subcutaneous tissue which gives her better durability
* Binary circulatory system (two hearts)
* Bigger lungs and pulmonary nodes which allow her more oxygen for her hearts and also meant she can hold her breath longer than the average human
* Larger brain
* Ability to regenerate when fatally injured of sick (SEVERELY COMPROMISED)
* Ability to see in the dark
* Can survive on as little as 4 hours of sleep per day

[Aurelia]

Aurelia [TO BE FORMATTED]

Active

Golden Gaze: Aurelia’s curse states that ‘any gaze that should meet her affectionate one shall be turned to gold’, and this rings true. Due to her affection for nearly everyone, anyone who meets her eyes instantly becomes a golden statue. This effect can be mitigated in a number of ways. Using reflections will cause the other party to become petrified in place, until Aurelia breaks eye contact. Anyone without physical eyes or has given Aurelia a reason to dislike them will be immune to the effects.

Serpentine Strength: Like any constricting snake of her size, Aurelia’s bulky tail has enough strength to crush bones. Aurelia has little trouble crushing the life out of things anywhere up to the size of an elk.

Passive

Immortality: Due to her curse, Aurelia no longer ages and, as long as she’s not fatally wounded, will live forever.

[Clopin]

DR. FACILIER

Voodoo Witch Doctor

ACTIVE POWERS

Shadow Manipulation:

Drawback: 


Cool Down:



DORMANT POWERS

[Kion]

Active Powers:

---

The Roar of Elders

A power gifted by the Great Kings of the Past to the second born of the current Pridelander ruler, the Roar allows Kion to summon the kings of the past to roar with him in different ways. It pulls forth power sound vibrations and or winds and is able to blast living beings away, break boulders, blast water in the opposite direction, etc. It can also be controlled in its direction to an extent if the user has faith within themselves. It can even summon spirits, both good and bad.

Drawbacks:

The roar has the risk of rebounding onto the user and their allies much like an echo. If used in anger, the roar can cause great damage to others and the environment around them, and can even summon evil spirits. If used for evil deeds and or the user doesn't respect its power, the roar will be taken away by the Great Kings.

Cooldown: At least 5 minutes or more, depending on certain situations.

---

Passive Powers: 

---

Spirits Seen

It allows the user to see and communicate with the spirits of those long deceased. 

Drawbacks: User may be the only one to see said spirits, can't really be used in combat.

Cooldown: N/A

[Shanty]

Shanty [NEEDS FORMATTING]

Active

Mechanical Monstrosity: Beneath the silicone skin, Shanty’s second form lies in wait. Tons of metal alloy unfold into a towering beast, capable of tearing through enemies like a reaper in a field. Multiple limbs, sharp teeth, and whirling grinders make for a fearsome appearance and an even worse opponent. Unfortunately, this form burns energy quickly, and is only useful for a short time.

Armed And Ready: Shanty comes equipped with a modular arm, mainly set with a large cannon-like gun. This can be exchanged for a blade extension, or an articulated hand. Each extension must be chosen before leaving the workshop.

Passive

Heavy Metal: With a multi-ton body made of gears and plates, it takes quite a bit of damage to really interfere with Shanty’s operational status.

Full Of Fire: Shanty’s high core temperature means that anything she consumes will be completely burned away. While this is mostly used for fuel, metal, and even flesh and bone will be completely destroyed.

[Diyha]

Diyha

Spiritual Clairvoyant (Occultamancer?)

*Astral Projection

Diyha can temporarily and voluntarily disconnect her consciousness from her physical body and use it to travel to other places (sometimes even other dimensions, usually to communicate with those spirits who have passed to the next plane of existence).

Drawbacks: This requires extreme concentration when awake, even for someone as experienced as her. When sleeping it can be achieved a bit more easily, though she has to be lucid. This can cause migraines and general physical disturbances of the body, such as nausea, temporary loss of hand/eye coordination, and extreme dizziness.

Cooldown: 24 hours, more if it is an especially prolonged projection.


*Aura Reading

Diyha can read the auras of other beings. It is much easier to perceive the aura and energy of a living being-- to perceive the aura of a spirit or undead being it requires concentration and usually a form of astral projection or or deep channeling. She can sense a color, vibration, and size of someone's aura. It usually gives an insight into their state of mind of emotions, and very rarely she can use it to read minds-- this is only if the person she is reading is especially weak-willed or in a weakened state of being.

*Divination & Mediumship

Diyha is able to receive insight or knowledge to a pre-posed question or statement using extrasensory abilities, usually through a ritual or spiritual channeling. The process of spiritual channeling requires a light form of astral projection to act as an intermediary between the "other side" and the physical world. She can listen to the voices of the dead and perceive memories, feelings, and information from spirits. During a seance to contact spirits, she can seem to go into a trance-like state, using her physical form only as a means to get across information while her consciousness is able to communicate with spirits and see into other planes of existence.

*Retrocognition

Diyha, through any combination of the aforementioned powers, is able to perceive and re-live past events. She usually perceives the past events through emotion or a single sense rather than an entire re-iteration. For example, if she were to read from someone's aura that they had lived through a house fire, she would be able to sense the fear of the person, smell the smoke, hear the crackling of fire, rather than basically replaying a "movie" in her head of the event. Thus her perceptions may omit important information or may not be completely accurate.

[Vinny]

Vinny

Hellspawn (Umbramancer + Pyromancer)

*Affinity for Sin

Vinny, being a demonic being, draws power from others' vices. He can use evil or corruptible energy and use it to strengthen himself. When someone indulges in a sin or does something terrible, Vinny draws power from it; this is how his father and uncle became such terrifying and powerful demons. The more vices he feeds off of, the more evil he becomes. The reason he is so non-threatening is because he has made a point to isolate himself from bad influences in order to blend in better in the mortal world.

*Malefic Forces

Vinny has the ability to subtly manipulate people to do bad deeds or sway them towards sin. It is a very light form of mind control and there is no guarantee it will even work, especially if the person is especially strong-willed. He does not use this on the surface... at least, he tries not to.

*Fire Resistant / Fire Magic

Vinny thrives in heat and fire, and is not negatively affected by it. He can use very minor fire magic and abilities: breathing fire, manipulating flames, giving off extreme heat, producing brimstone and flames from seemingly nowhere, ect. These powers are much stronger when angry or fueled by corruption and sin.

[Atlas]

Atlas Del Cassidy Echo
Shadow | Illusion | Light

Overall Drawbacks: If Atlas burns through too much of his spiritual power he will go into a 'ravage mode'. In this Ravage Mode, he cannot control himself, he will be unable to tell who is friend or foe and will tear down anything in his path. Everything and everyone is a meal. Once he kills his victims he will devour their souls, and while he technically cannot be killed his physical form can be disrupted leaving him unable to take a physical form for many months(4 to 6 months in game time, note that characters will not be killed without player consent and characters can still run away and try to avoid him while in this mode). 

Active Powers
Rapid Phasing - Almost like teleporting Atlas can flicker in and out of the spiritual world making it impossible to harm him whenever he 'phases' out of the living world. He usually does this if he needs to dodge attacks.
Drawback: Becomes highly mentally unstable after excessive use, will attack own comrades in unstable state.
Cool Down: 5 to 8 Hours

Reaper Screech - A loud high pitch noise that shatters windows, can break eardrums and disorientate the enemy for up to thirty minutes at a time.
Drawback: Can summon low classed demons, competitive reapers and more
Cool Down: A Week in Game Time

Soul Reaving - The ability to rip out and devour a soul from any sort of being
Cool Down: 1 Month

Passive Powers
Shapeshifting - Can shift into the forms of a liger and or human

Otherworldy Presence - The dull glowing outline of butterflies and stardust constantly float off of him, his presence can give a sense of peace to those who are highly in tune with the world around them.

Enhanced Strength, Sight, Smell - Can easily lift a car the size of a punchbug without straining, can see further than normal, can hear a few miles and more away. Can also see into people's very souls.

[Tabs]

Tabs 

…:::Ancient Eldritch Abomination:::... 

Electromancer // Occultamancer 

Weaknesses: Nature/Shadow Magic, also disoriented by very strong magnetic fields 

Strengths: Water/Light Magic 

While considering himself non combative and taking no real interest in the military side of things, Tabs is without a doubt an ace in the hole when things get down to the wire, and is not to be provoked lightly. 

---

…::Damage-Dealing Abilities::...

.:Laser Face:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

This is one of Tabs’s strongest offensive attacks. He will shoot purple beams of energy from his faces. These beams cause severe burns and possibly temporary paralysis. They also tend to brick most electronics that take a direct hit. These beams have a range of about 100 meters before rapidly losing strength. He may fire beams individually from each face, or all at the same time. These are very dangerous to be hit with to most forms of life; organic, magical and/or robotic. 

Drawbacks:
This attack rapidly drains his energy and can even prompt a drop in his health (which will be visible by him literally turning grey). There are very clear warnings before this attack is about to be used: Tabs can only use this attack if he separates his heads, causing each head to move on its own, like a hydra. 

Recovery Time:
1 minute wait time between blasts (per face). 

.:Electric Havoc:.

Electric Magic

Tabs is skilled in electric/data based attacks. This includes what you’re expecting: shooting bolts of lightning from his body. These electric strikes cause burns and possible paralysis, and tend to damage technology if it’s not fitted to be resistant to power surges. Tabs can also send out EMP-like waves, to disable devices within his vicinity. He may also send these overloading waves right into someone’s brain and the results… aren’t pretty (luckily, this requires direct contact). 

Drawbacks:
Like all mages, use of magic saps his overall energy. This is especially the case should he attempt to overload a sentient organism’s mind. His strongest and most dangerous of electric attacks require physical contact to work, whereas weaker ones may be used more freely. 

Recovery Time:
Just a few seconds for little bolts. Nearly two weeks for the heavy duty stuff, such as mind-frying.  

.:Possession of Electronics:.

Electric Magic 

Tabs can enter any device that has data on it, read the information stored on it and control the device. If the device is destroyed or heavily damaged, Tabs will be forced to assume his physical form and will be mildly burned. 

Drawbacks:
Tabs must fight for control if he enters anything deemed sentient, such as robots or AIs. 

Recovery Time:
1 Day for non-sentient objects. Up to 1 Week for sentient victims. 

.:Soul Sucking:. *

Eldritch (Occult) Magic 

Without a doubt, comic horror as it’s absolute worst. Tabs is imbued with the ability to absorb the consciousnesses of living things. This is done by firing scalding red rays from his face directly into the eyes and mouth of his prey. Once the mind has been absorbed, the charred body left behind will crumble to dust. When Tabs gains a new mind, he knows all it knows and feels all it felt and, considering how much data Tabs possesses, he’s obviously done this more than just a few times. 

Drawbacks:
Tabs typically suffers from overheating and sensory overload immediately after absorption. He will be completely unable to respond for several minutes postmortem as his body adjusts. Tabs is required to be directly staring into his prey’s eyes to make a hit -- otherwise, the beams will miss and vaporize the nearest solid object it touches. 

Recovery Time:
Two Weeks between absorbed souls. 

* Due to the God-moddish nature of this ability, it won’t be used in RP unless explicitly plotted out and consent is granted.

---

…::Passive Abilities::...

.:Immortal:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs is functionally immortal and will live indefinitely unless his life force itself is destroyed. 

.:Body Regeneration:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs may regenerate any part of his body lost. For the vast majority of his body parts, it takes one full week to regrow completely. However… for his heads, if smashed or severed, it will take a full month to regrow. This is because he keeps his life force encapsulated in his heads. If all four heads where to be destroyed, his life force would dissolve within seconds if not given a new host, thus leading to death. 

.:Splitting:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs may split or clone himself at will, becoming multiple individuals. These individuals will act independently, but will share a mind. Due to having his mind split between multiple bodies, Tabs will need to take things slower, due to using more processing power than normal. 

Drawbacks:
Tabs, having been split, has far less magic to spare and cannot use powerful attacks until he recombines. It is difficult for him to control more than five bodies at once. 

Recovery Time:
Cannot split again after recombining for Two Months. 

.:Object Spawning:.

??? Magic 

Tabs can spawn objects that help him for his job-related duties. He may spawn film set equipment, office supplies, and even articles of clothing. He may choose to spawn these objects into someone’s hand or, in the case of clothing, onto them. 

Drawbacks:
Tabs can only spawn things that would reasonably help him as a media personality. He can’t spawn medicine or weapons. Sure, he can hit you with a heavy camera, but those things are expensive so why would he do that? 

Recovery Time:
Objects typically vanish on their own after 24 Hours, unless he happens to actively be thinking about keeping them around. 

.:Shapeshifting:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs may assume the form of a human or small selection of animals. He cannot assume the form of mythical creatures, nor will he retain any powers in his alternate forms. Tabs may also seen as a body horror mess of various tissues, bone and animal parts -- however, these transformations are typically non-voluntary and a sign that something is wrong.

Drawbacks:
Tabs has to learn to be the creature he becomes. He will not inherently know how to move or use his senses. Tabs has experience with being a human and being several mammals, so he tends to assume these forms. Also, as this takes energy, he cannot change back for a few hours. 

Recovery Time:
5 Hours between changes. 

.:Floating:.

Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs can float, lessening the effects of gravity around him. He usually does this if he’s feeling playful, or if he’s sore from standing.  He can only hover a few meters above the ground. He’s incapable of proper flying. 

.:Hypnosis:. *
Eldritch (Occult) Magic

Tabs uses his screens to display a flashing strobe to mesmerize his foes. Upon being mesmerized, they are open to suggestion and Tabs can give them a set of commands of his choice. Tabs will then snap his fingers, releasing the victim to perform the commands. If mesmerized but not given commands, they will only be dazed for a few minutes after being released. He can use a weak form of this attack to merely freeze his foes without any ill effects after. 

Drawbacks:
Hypnosis is not the same as mind control. Victims follow his commands and only his commands with very little autonomy. If his commands are poorly worded or if unforeseen circumstances occur, this can hinder the victim’s ability to give the desired result. Hypnosis victims are very easy to spot. Victims can only be hypnotized for about ten hours. 

Recovery Time:
1 Week if full hypnosis is used. 1 Day if only mesmerized. 

* Due to the God-moddish nature of this ability, it won’t be used in RP unless explicitly plotted out and consent is granted.
