Custom Technique Approval

[Juno]

I don't think Ki Absorption is necessary.

The only reason I thought it needed Body Split was because of this clause: "...though it does not have access to Kaden's other Custom Techniques, it can dip into the energy used to create it in order to fire blasts of ki."

Related to the clause of Body Split that says: "The user is able to create copies of themselves, each time splitting their power..."

While the copy isn't exactly Kaden, my first thought was that because it was humanoid and it had access to Kaden's energy, it essentially was a "copy" of him. However, I understand where Kaden is coming from with his point.

[Mal Nova]

DISTORTION- Using his Stealth Nova surrounds his body with his stealth aura and Expands it. All within the field area are 'blind', seeing many distorted images as they try to move about.

[Kaden]

How does that make sense?

[Juno]

How does that make sense?

I'm... not staff anymore, but based on my experience there, I feel in my soul that that should have Telepathy. I'm not sure how using Stealth to do that would work.

But... just my humble member opinion...

[Kaden]

I honestly think there needs to be KI Absorption at the least... As it gets poured additional energy into... And possibly Body Split. But you said why not for that...

Edit: I say this because He CAN Give him more energy...

Kaden actually has a vehicle for transferring energy from himself into another entity with Surge. It could either be rationalized as using Surge to "refuel" the Ghost with single bursts, or Kaden could Diffuse energy and then use Surge to recharge the Ghost from a distance.

[Orion]

Gravitate - A coating of modified ki covers Orion's fist. Upon impact, the ki transfers to the target and becomes invisible. If a basic energy attack (ie. anything less than a Kamehameha style beam in power) sails by the energy, it is attracted and collides with it.

Energy Transfer (I'll think of a less gay name later) - by focusing on a target, Orion is capable of funneling his own ki into another person as a donation or augmentation to the target's own ki reservoirs.

Energy Receival - conversely, Orion can open channels between another life form's ki and bring it into himself. However, this can only be done with the life form's consent. (May need Ki Absorption for this.)

Advanced Subjugation - The standard ability of Subjugation is to block out pain, allowing Orion to ignore a broken leg or spear piercing through his shoulder so he can continue on. This form of the ability takes it one step higher and prolongs the use of a limb or organ made ineffective by damage as long as the ki is pumping through it. This can allow him to take the final few steps to safety on a shattered knee or breathe normally for a limited time with a punctured lung. This ability can only be applied retroactively; flooding this ki through his brain or heart before they're destroyed will not save his life.

Accelerate (rewritten) - Orion drapes himself in a razor thin layer of ki, covering his body in a blue hue. After the detonation of a small portion of that ki, Orion accelerates towards a target at high speeds. The energy coating allows him to puncture through most walls or similarly composed materials to the target, however the energy coating will eventually fade once the target has been reached or Orion has passed through too many objects. Used to close the distance between a powerful ranged but weak melee foe or to make a quick escape.

[Nibbles]

Mega bump

salad shooter - nibbles launches energy at people in the form of various plants. These plant formed energies don't obey any law of their shape. A flower or leaf or tree will shoot through the air and hit you as hard and as fast as any energy beam would.

Wild diffusion - a close range energy blast that infuses wild energies into ki till they become uncontrollable. It specifically targets manifestations of ki that a user is trying to maintain and control and sets the ki free from the user. The best examples of this are shields and auras but it includes any energy based technique that last for a prolonged time. The more energy in a technique the slower it escapes the user's control and in some cases several diffusions are required. Elemental manifestations of energy take twice as much wild power to diffuse.

Squirrel unlimited - being made of energy nibbles can transform into an untouchable phantasm. With expert ki control he can dematerialize and materialize portions of his body at rapid speed, giving him an advantage in melees. Using this ability repeatedly at the pace necessary for combat is exhausting.

The ultimate bitchslap of inescapable armageddon - nibbles transforms his hand into pure energy, charges it up and swings it inside the face of his opponent where he then discharges that energy. This attack is ridiculously powerful, and while strong opponent's inner energy can withstand the force, no one escapes without a busted up face. On beaten enemies and minor npcs, the sheer power of ubia disintegrates the targets head, and in many cases the rest of them as well. This is primarily a fatality..er finishing move. Because of the closer than close range required, small target area, control required, and timing its very difficult to hit someone not incapacitated or restrained in some way. Its impossible to hit anyone faster than you. This technique consumes 2 pp.

Wooden plank - nibbles forms a solid block of ki in mid air, about the size of a book. It can be broken/shattered but is unmoveable unless nibbles moves it. Then it makes for great bashing over the head stuff. With about 10 seconds of charging nibbles can grow the plank to the size of a barn.

Leaf spiral - nibbles unleashes a spray of energy that quickly takes on the shape of leaves and swirls around the area in a blizzard. The sharp edges on these "leaves" does cut but for most warriors, these paper cuts are just a nuisance and a distraction. The swirling blizzard of energy matches the color of nibble's immaterialized form and makes great camouflage.

Deep forest explosion - this technique takes about 20 seconds to charge up. Nibbles forms the energy into a massive acorn that he plunges into the ground. What follows is a small earthquake and alot of property damage as a massive forest constructed of pure wild energy emerges from the ground. Even minor npcs would probably shake that part of the technique off. The dangerous part is that the trees are all explosive and when touched by an enemy, do just that. Nibbles can pass through the trees at whim but to anyone else they're solid, and in some cases hot and painful. This technique uses 1 pp.

Venus energy trap - nibbles charges up a small seed-shaped ball of energy for 5 seconds and then plants into the ground or launches it at a target. When the seed comes in contact with an alien ki source(anything with ki in it that's not of nibble's) it sprouts as a pair of massive plant-like jaws and envelopes the person that tripped it. The jaws will sustain until the energy in the seedling runs out(about 25 seconds) unless nibbles makes contact with it and continues to supply it. This heavily restricts nibbles movement and abilities and is just not smart against an enemy with more energy reserves than he has. The jaws consist of molded ki energy and can contain an energy target like kamehameha or deathball just as it would a target of matter. While not always successful at stopping an attack they will slow it down.

Wildfire- first nibbles builds the wildfire aura around himself. This takes a couple of seconds. Then he just has to make contact with the enemy and the aura will cling to them. Wildfire doesn't do any damage but it is painfully bright and crackles loudly like a forest fire or a distant lightning storm. It also sticks to the target like a bad stink and is just a thin haze of energy that most anything just passes through.

Nut shot - a nut shot is very fast beam/ball. Once nibbles lets it fly it seems to have a mind of its own, able to make turns at perfect right angles and come to complete stops, seemingly at random. With almost no effort on his part, nibbles controls this nutty beam and usually uses it to feint and toy with his opponent before letting them have it. It deals light-moderate damage.

Tree top army - multiple(3-25 depending on how long nibbles charges up the technique) energy formed squirrels emerge from nibbles, all looking exactly like his own energy form. When the squirrels make contact with another's ki it explodes violently, damaging everything in close range.

Acorn cannon - in a prolonged battle nibbles can congeal all the his excess energy released in recent explosions and form it into a single acorn shaped weapon. The ki still remembers what energies it tried to destroy and what energy destroyed it and it will fire an all out barrage on the source of those energies till it expends itself.

Spear of roses or wild thornberry - nibbles creates a 5 foot long energy vine, that can become rigid like a spear or bend and snap like a whip. Energy thorns emerge from the whip on every side and when they bury into a surface, they implant themselves, detaching from the spear and growing into vines of their own right that try to snag onto enemies. Once an enemy is ensnared they explode. For 1 pp the new vines will be able to propagate more vines of their own till they've taken over the terrain. Like all his energy creations, nibbles can pass through them.

[Orion]

Shite, sorry for the delay.

Salad Shooter - so this is just a normal ki blast but shaped as flora? Don't know if you need a custom tech for that, but if you want to buy it to be sure, we can say 3xp.

Wild Diffusion - what does "free" mean? Does it destroy the energy, does it do any damage?

Squirrel Unlimited - 10xp

Bitchslap - 25xp, since it uses 2 PP. Don't go overboard with blowing off PC's heads off, either.

Wooden Plank - 18xp

Leaf Spiral - 15xp

Deep Forest Explosion - By "massive" I assume you mean the forest takes up a lot of space. 20xp.

Venus Energy Trap - 30xp

Wildfire - 12xp

Nut Shot - 13xp

Tree Top Army - 26xp

Acorn Cannon - how powerful is this? Excess energy from recent explosions is open to interpretation.

Spear of Roses - 25xp

Salad Shooter - Yes thats what it is, but since you need like a tech for a Kamehameha and I want it to be able to reach that power level I figured it'd cost something.

Wild Diffusion - By free energy I mean energy outside someones body. It causes the ki in a technique to be released. In an attack like a beam or ball or flash or explosion this doesn't have any effect because the ki is already being released. In techniques like shields, auras, clones, bindings, etc. This will cause the energy to fall apart because they are ki that's trying to be held in a certain way.

Wooden Plank - Surprised that cost that much.

Deep Forest Explosion - Yes, that's what I mean by massive. The trees completely take over the terrain for several miles transforming it into an energy forest.

Acorn Cannon - The power is relative to how many explosions Nibbles has used in the battle. Early on this thing will be useless but after 10 or 12 explosions it could maintain a few shots. After 20-30 explosions would make it a siege weapon. Its the kind of move that normally sees action maybe once a fight.

[Kaden]

Salad Shooter - 15

Wild Diffusion - Requires Venomous Ki. 20 XP.

Wooden Plank - Really? You want to be able to swing a board the size of a barn and you think 18 is too much?

Deep Forest - 75 XP

Acorn Cannon - 35 XP

Increasing Nut Shot to 15 and Tree Top Army to 30.

[Kaden]

Rebuke - Sensing when his energy is being absorbed is a relatively simply task for someone with Ki Sense. When this happens, Kaden can either detonate the stolen energy, causing damage to the person trying to steal it and preventing them from receiving anything, or he can simply absorb it back. When absorbing back his energy, Kaden can only take what someone is trying to steal, no more.

Rebuke (alternate 1) - Sensing when his energy is being absorbed is a relatively simply task for someone with Ki Sense. When this happens, Kaden can detonate the stolen energy, causing damage to the person trying to steal it and preventing them from receiving anything.

Rebuke (alternate 2) - Sensing when his energy is being absorbed is a relatively simply task for someone with Ki Sense. When this happens, Kaden can simply absorb it back. When absorbing back his energy, though, Kaden can only take what someone is trying to steal, no more.

The main version and Alternate 2 would obviously require Ki Absorption. EDIT: Just so there's no confusion, there are two effects (explode ki or take ki back) and I'm looking for pricing on a moves that either have a single effect or both.

[Majicka]

Change Beam

Karin can point at a object and change it into something else. She cannot create life out of something that does not already have life. For example, she can turn a rock into a chair, but cannot turn it into a frog. On living organisms she can turn them into random things; such as dogs, candy, and so forth. It cannot be used on living things in combat, and cannot be used on a player without permission from said player.

(Uses Shapechange*

I'm willing to make modifications if needed.

[Tyr]

So it can't create life out of something that does not already have life, but it can make life into dead objects such as candy?

EDIT: Uh, personal question, sorry if it's not allowed. I recalled it is.

[Belle Hibiki]

How exactly does Kaden explode energy that isn't his? I was under the assumption that, if ki had a particular energy signature, it would be reshaped to the person who stole it.

If not, I'm going to have to make a technique that does exactly that.

Same, else Disperse is relatively useless should it be proven to be futile. I'll simply have expended all my energy. o.0

[Majicka]

EDIT: Uh, personal question, sorry if it's not allowed. I recalled it is.

It can turn something into a frog, but it can't create life. It'd have the body of a frog, but because their is no spirit in a rock, it wouldn't have life. It'd be just a inanimate object.

Basically it'd work down to this.

Random Object: Another random object.
NPC: Random Object, Another life form (outside of combat)
PC: Random Object, Another life form (Both out of combat and with permission.)

I wanted this for roleplaying fodder. If Staff thinks it'd be acceptable to be able to turn npcs and pcs into a random object or life form in combat, that's be cool, but I don't think that'd be allowed, at all. XD.

[Victoria]

I think he means the dog = candy, since it's living.

[Majicka]

I think he means the dog = candy, since it's living.

Yeah, that's part of the power. It'd just be like what Buu did, really. Except more limitations so that it's not overpowered/abused.

[Kaden]

If not, I'm going to have to make a technique that does exactly that.

He could Break their absorption and then detonate his energy or explode as they're trying to steal it or disperse it as they're trying to steal it and then explode/break it, he could Lock his own ki flow, etc., etc..

[Belle Hibiki]

How does Breaking help? Although it forces energy away, the energy still wouldn't be his if it's inside his opponent... The only energy that's Kaden's would be the one inside Kaden's body, right?

If he tries to detonate it as it's being stolen, considering default Absorption requires physical contact, I'm assuming both he and his victim suffer damage from the point-blank self-detonation.

Does your dispersion force > draining force? Considering Disperse is a 13 XP custom tech and Ki Absorb is a 50 XP normal tech, I'd just kind of assumed that the latter would take precedence over the former.

Kaden locking his own ki flow to stop absorbs from that part of the body is pretty clever, though.
