There is a certain beauty to this place, an infinite starry shower of worlds, passing into and out of existence, more stories than there are dots of light in the sky, this cycle of creation and destruction is one which contains the glory and majesty of light and life.

It is here that we see the delicate balance of worlds floating along is disrupted, that they are plunged beneath the thin film of sanity upon which they reside.

In this place, there were now monsters, creatures which consumed all before them, and in turn became all before them.  An endless tide of hungry mouths, sapping the very essence of all that is.  Tainting what they touch, destroying what lies before them, leaving nothing behind.

In a Multiverse Beset by creatures beyond comprehension, there are still heroes, this is the story of one such group, a group of potentially powerful beings, each from the far corners of many worlds.  They have been brought together in a lull of the action, one no less deadly, and no less important to the fate of everything.

These Privileged few are not here to tear down the works of these Black Invaders, but rather, to bolster the forces that would oppose them.  To bring war and peace in equal measure, to give strength to worlds that are pure, that they might survive the things that Trespass upon them.

These Privileged few are indeed you.  You who have been taken from your home reality, wherever that may be, with the intention of helping to preserve the world you once existed in, and in addition, every other world that exists upon the gossamer void that stretches across the endless infinity.

Spoiler: "Premise" (click to show/hide)

A whole bunch of people from different settings are thrown into a zany group of adventurers, with the goal of fixing problems, beating up bad guys, and helping out good guys.

You do this through Roleplay, Mechanical Encounters, Fluffy Encounters, Combat of various types, and both Teaching and Training others and one another, learning new techniques and tactics from the other worlds you visit.  I myself will run Primary Plotlines, while Players have the option of running plots of their own between mine, which can be anything you imagine, and in any setting of your choosing, within reason, with the goal of growing stronger, saving lives, or preparing defenses for the incoming Trespasser invasions, or even, on rare occasion, fighting one wholesale.


Combat will happen, but will be supplemented with Exploration, Puzzle Solving, and various other encounters.

Spoiler: "System/Character Sheet" (click to show/hide)

Name: (Should be self-evident.)

Age: (Should also be self-evident.)

Gender: (What do you consider yourself? Not the same as your biological sex.)

Sex: (What are you biologically? Not the same as your gender.)

Race: (No, not skin colour. Are you human? Vulcan? Generic Mary Sue half-breed hybrid?)

Appearance: (What do you look like? If you have alternate forms, their appearance should go here. Weapons and stuff are optional.)

Personality: (What are you like?)

Merit: A measure of a character’s experience and effort, this value starts at 0, and raises when encounters, worlds, and certain actions are accomplished.

HP: Equal to (Con*2)+20, Plus any additional health from other sources.  This stat represents both Combat Damage, and Exhaustion

Moves: Equal to your Dex, divided by the average dex of this encounter, calculated at the beginning of combat. Minimum 1.

Stats: You get (21) stat points to spend. A Stat cannot exceed 8 during Chargen. 2 Points of Merit may be spent to gain 1 additional stat point.

Essence: Determines a character’s Willpower, Determination, and Metaphorical Weight in the course of events.  This stat helps determine the results of dramatic situations, and may influence the actions of others.     

Constitution: Represents overall physical health and vitality. This stat helps determine Health and Physical Endurance.

Dexterity: A measure of a character's overall speed, agility, and coordination. This stat helps determine Moves per turn in encounters, and certain forms of damage.

Intelligence: Represents how well-educated and generally knowledgeable a character is, as well as mental strength. Governs some forms of magic, and can enable access to special item effects.  The user gains an extra Action Slot every 6 Points of Int.

Resistance: Measures how resistant a character is to harm. This stat helps determine what forms of damage can affect a character, and how much it affects them.  This is not explicit Numerical Damage Reduction, but certain perks or abilities may use it to generate a form of damage reduction.
           
Strength: Raw physical power. High Strength allows the user to subvert some encounters, and utilize special equipment and abilities.   

Synergy: Raw magical power. Governs many forms of magic (including things not specifically magical, such as ki, aura, etc.) This stat helps determine the strength of Metaphysical abilities at the character’s disposal, and may allow them to subvert some encounters, or activate special equipment and abilities.

Perks: Perks are powerful bonuses unique or mostly unique to a character, differentiating them from the rest and often defining part of their nature. They can take many forms, from growing stat boosts to minions which can be summoned at little to no cost to bonus actions and more. Use your imagination; if you can put it into numbers, it can probably be a perk.

Each character starts with two perks. One more perk can be 'bought' with a Flaw; essentially a negative Perk. A flaw represents an innate weakness or failing, such as a vulnerability to certain effects and conditions, or a natural weakness in a certain area of expertise.

A perk may be purchased or enhanced for 30 points of Merit, or for 20 if the user also takes an additional flaw, or enhances an existing one.  Flaws may be removed for 50 Merit.

Example Perks:

Swift: The character is naturally much faster than most. +1 DEX per World completed.

Hidden Potential: This character has access to their innermost well of strength, When the user would gain strength outside of spending Merit, they gain 1/3 more.

Stand Proud: This character can summon a strong spectral entity with unique powers to assist them in combat.

Regeneration: This character heals very quickly, regaining 10% HP at the end of each of their turns during an encounter.

Evasion: This character dodges incoming attacks from slower or less skilled opponents.  The user may choose to reserve one of their moves to counteract one instance of incoming damage.  Does not apply to Trump Effects.

Actions: You will take one (possibly more, with buffs) action per Move in combat. Actions can be active, passive, or trumping, and are your primary means of resolving mechanical encounters.

An active  is typically an attack, usable skill or a buff/debuff of some variety, with some kind of special quality attached, these can be used on one of the player’s Moves.

A passive is most often a conditional or permanent effect which is automatically active, and does not require that a Move be taken.  A Trump ability is, as the name implies, an action which trumps both Passives and Actives. 

Trump abilities have some combination of highly specific conditions for activation, cooldowns which are measured in Encounters or Worlds, require multiple moves to initiate, and/or have limited uses per World.  The result is a powerful Action which will supersede most ordinary effects.

You get 5 Action Slots and 5 Actions or Action Enhancements to start, which may be divided among Passives, Actives, and Trumping abilities. An additional Action Slot may be purchased for 4 Merit Points, An Action itself may be bought with 2 Merit Points, or an Action may be enhanced with 1 Merit Point.

Actions may also be obtained through other methods, such as training, study, or learning it from a teacher, Actions gained in this manner are less effective, and may have a quality, but do not require spending Merit Points to obtain, these actions are marked as (Trick).

Example Actives

Swipe of Sword: The user attacks, dealing 1d6+Str Damage.

Magic Napalm Rainbow: The user sprays a target with glittering crude oil, before igniting them.  Make a contested Syn v Res check, if the target fails, they take (Syn/4)d6 fire damage for 3 turns.

Charge Up!!!: The user focuses their energy, gaining +50% Str for 3 turns.

Example Passives

Deadlift Champ 2016: The user has 50% extra Strength when lifting an object outright, with no overtly extenuating circumstances.

Princess of Water: The user has +10% to all stats when underwater.

Roiling Hatred Barrier: The user deals 1d4+Syn Damage to things that touch them physically, this can only activate once per Move.

Example Trumps

Kamehameha: The user charges up a massive energy beam, and then fires it, they must specify an amount of Moves greater than 2, at which point they will fire the attack.  Deal 3Syn damage per each turn this is charged. Once per Encounter cooldown.

No… No!: When something deals more than half a character’s health in a single turn, roll Essence verses their Primary Stat, if the User wins, restore all health. Once per World Cooldown

(Perk Backed) My Final Hamon!: When the user dies, a chosen ally assimilates their current Syn Stat, and 3 of their Actions permanently.

Equipment: Equipment is any item which grants a mechanical effect during an encounter, Objects which do this may take up Action Slots while equipped.  This includes Consumable items, such as Sensu Beans or Healing Pots.

Both Equipment and Actions may be swapped around, equipped, or unequipped between Encounters, in addition, it requires one Move to swap One Equipment or Action during an encounter.

Reserve: Items or Abilities not equipped or used in encounters that the character possesses, such as currency.

Players may start with 3 items of their choosing.

Spoiler: "Additional Rule Notes" (click to show/hide)

Basic System Rundown: Every round, every character in the fight posts one Action per Move they have, and who they're using it on, if applicable. (E.g. Haruka uses Shield Bash on Familiar #3.) Characters can talk, you can describe their actions in detail, etc. Damage is reduced by RES if applicable, and then subtracted from the victim's health. Once every action is submitted, the GM will process them all in the order of initiative, and then the process begins again next round.


Initiative: Characters' first Moves will be ordered by their base Dexterity, Plus or Minus any bonuses or Maluses, the remainder of their Moves will be scattered equally in the initiative order below them.  Players may choose to lower the initiative of their Moves, but cannot raise them without special effects.


Characters with equal Dexterity will enter a contested roll to see who is the faster.

Summons: There are two types of summon; companions, and minions. Companions don't take an action to summon, and draw all of their stats from their owner, costing a perk to have in the first place. A PC with a companion and one without will have the same overall stat total; the former splits their stats among two entities. Minions will be handled case-by-case.

Standard Statuses:

-Burn: Deals high damage over time, but is reduced by RES.

-Poison: Deals damage over time, ignoring RES.


Dropping to Zero Health: This game will use an injury system. You can take up to three injuries before you die. Injuries are inflicted only when a character drops to zero (or lower) health. Mechanically, an injury functions as a Flaw that is chosen by me (or the GM of the current plot, which I will then vet.) Healing these injuries may be offered as an alternate reward after completing a plotline.


Errata: This kind of system requires a lot of little (and sometimes not-so-little) specifications and adjustments. I'll record them here as they're made.

Nerfs, Buffs: A lot of the time, a character will turn out under- or overpowered. That's okay! We can adjust it on the fly. Be willing to accept that the GM makes mistakes and might have to reduce your character's power to fall in line with others of the same level.

Sheet Maintenance: Players are expected to maintain their own sheets and make changes as the GM recommends. Failure to do so will invite GM action if it becomes an issue.

Bound: Items can be purchased with Merit from time to time, or the player may start with an additional item instead of one of their Starting Abilities.  Items obtained in this manner must have an explanation as to how they came into being, and have the Bound Quality, which prevents them being sold, traded, or destroyed, unless the AP is somehow refunded, or additional Merit is spent to remove this quality.


Perk-backed Actions: They have a baseline power level higher than that of normal ones (since Perks are much more limited) and don't cost AP to get, though they do cost AP to level further.


Critical Hit Systems: The game has no innate critical hit system. Critical strike abilities are limited to scaling off of DEX or INT, outside of Extenuating circumstances.


Over-encumbrance: Players are Encouraged not to overburden their characters with unnecessary resources Items, or Tricks, and, upon request, encounters may be made to help rid them of unwanted items or tricks in return for boons or benefits of some kind.  This only applies to Characters who have an egregious amount of wealth at their disposal, locked up in errata and small highly detailed entities.

Spoiler: "Character Guidelines" (click to show/hide)

-No canon characters. If you -really- want to play a specific character, make an expy; a very similar character from another setting.
-Characters can be drawn from any setting, original or otherwise.
-Don't make Mary Sues; leave room for growth and development besides their numbers.
-If you think a character might be controversial or divisive, talk them over with the GM.

[Chevaleresse]

Spoiler: time fucker (click to show/hide)

Name: Kusuke Kigane
Age: 18?
Gender: M
Race: Human
Appearance: Has a set of slate gray eyes framed by medium-long, shaggy hair that seems to be either dark purple or black depending on the light. Strong, but still youthful features that make him look slightly younger than he actually is. Which, given the nature of his Drive, is actually getting harder to determine as time goes on. Never seen without his dark gray zippered hoodie (which has a somewhat excessive number of zippered pockets and is fastened around his neck with a fine chain. Wears a white undershirt with a fancy abstract design across the chest. Often seen with his hands in the pockets of his black jeans, which are secured with a set of three belts, one of which is draped somewhat loosely around his waist and secured to the others with another chain that links it to his belt loop and the other two belts. His shoes seem to use thin metal and cloth in place of rubber, but are otherwise relatively mundane. Has knives scattered all over his body, hidden in pockets both obvious and otherwise.
Personality: Friendly and a little naive. Tends to overlook mundane solutions to problems at times. Deeply altruistic. Addicted to caffeine. Has a strong serious streak. A better cook than you might think, though that might just be him abusing his drive to reset and get fresh ingredients. Utterly inept with repairing things or troubleshooting tech.
 
Merit: 11
HP: 24
Moves: TBD
 
Stats:

• Essence: 6
• Constitution: 2
• Dexterity: 8
• Intelligence: 8
• Resistance: 3
• Strength: 3
• Synergy: 4

Perks:

Doubleshift: Kusuke adds his INT to his DEX for the purposes of calculating the number of moves he receives in a turn.

Take Two: Kusuke automatically rerolls any failed checks once. Uses per round limited to (number of worlds cleared +1.)

Take It Back: Kusuke has the ability to accelerate or rewind an object along its personal timeline if he can reach it. This can include moving it, or simply aging/de-aging it in place. Success (when not governed by an Action) is determined by Essence, Synergy for the raw magnitude of the shift, and Intelligence for finding the proper timelines to move it along. Doing this too often in a short amount of time, or doing a shift with a very high magnitude, can prompt checks for exhaustion, which can cause negative status or damage to Kusuke. Sentient and sapient targets may also attempt to resist, using their Essence.

Flaw - Automatophobia: Kusuke loses 1 Essence every time he is attacked or otherwise negatively affected by a mechanical enemy until the encounter ends.


Actions:
Active

Recall: Sets Kusuke's status back to what it was at the start of last turn. Only usable once per turn.
-Level 2: Can target people and objects other than Kusuke.

Ride Forward: Kusuke can sacrifice any number of turns this round (including the one he uses this action on) to move twice the number of allied moves (including his own) to the top of the initiative order.

Skip: Kusuke uses his powers to knock the target a few moments forward or temporarily into an alternate timeline, removing them from combat for one round. Powerful targets may be resistant (ending the effect partway through a round) or immune.

Temporal Toss: Kusuke strikes at a target directly with his power,  sending them flying uncontrollably forward or backward along their own timelines. On a successful SYN check, this can inflict damage or debuffs determined by the GM due to confusion, loss of training (if moved backward), or aging (if moved forward.)

Vigilante Code (Gear): A Magic Formula given to vigilantes by the NOL. It's essentially a set of magical handcuffs with a unique signature. Allows the user to attempt to restrain a target using a DEX check against a stat of the GM's choice during combat, which is doubled if the target is already incapacitated. Restrained targets cannot use actions that require usage of their hands until they can make a check passing the original, non-doubled DEX check.

(Trick) Blink: The user spends one turn to nullify a wide range of physical status effects such as bind and slow by teleporting out of them or using it to enhance mobility. Out of Encounters, this technique allows for a teleport of up to Int+Syn Feet.
-Trick Level: Blink can now move Kusuke twice as far.

Refresh: Send a person a short distance forward in time. This reduces all of their cooldowns by one turn.

Doubleshift Another: Use a bit of time travel to allow a person to be in two places at once, granting them an additional action this turn.

Temporal Slice (Trick, level 1): Kusuke attempts to cut or damage an object by rewinding or accelerating a small part of it. Can be used to clear debris, with precision and overall success determined by an INT check, or as a way to attack an enemy (opposed by Essence.)
-Level 2: This can now destroy light debris with no check.

Borrowed Time III: Kusuke stores a turn for later use, up to a maximum of 4 turns.

Martial Arts: Allows Kusuke to deal 1d6+DEX damage without using a weapon, and adds DEX/2 to damage dealt with small weaponry such as knives.

Backlash: The user has a 5% chance to automatically use Tempofrag on an enemy when struck by a projectile, the attack is considered to have been used by the enemy, on the enemy.

Timeslicer: A nearly indestructible knife made for Kusuke by Satomi, this knife was made painstakingly with timefucked metal -- Satomi hammered each phase into a knife shape, and managed to make a razor-sharp, saw-toothed edge for each phase, these teeth flowing smoothly in their positioning between phases and thusly making a knife that will chew up armor and is very difficult to stop
Deals 2d8+[Dex ] damage, ignores all Res and active(or lower) level defensive effects.
+50% base damage on a crit.
50% less likely to be stolen, destroyed, or unequipped by outside effects.

Lightweight Time Sandwich Armor: A simple chestplate, as lightweight and small as Satomi could get a plate that consists of two pieces of metal and a piece of time-metal between them. It's got some weight to it, but it really isn't that bad and the plate is small enough and curved enough to not be much of a hindrance to Kusuke's movement either. It is also very durable, and less roughly made than Satomi's armor -- she's hammered the edges together on this one, so on first sight it just looks like a single metal breastplate.
+3 Res while equipped, 50% less likely to be stolen, destroyed, or unequipped by outside effects.

Magic Engine Construction: Allows Kusuke to create magic element engines that function like comparable electric engines but run off nearby ambience from generic metal scrap with only a roll for quality.
-Craft level: Kusuke can now craft Temporal Engines from Magic Element Engines with another quality roll.

Heroic Training Quest 0/10:  "You're a skinny little drip, aren't you?  Reminds me of my last student when he first came to me.  He thought I'd hand him everything too.  Go out and defeat ten wild beasts without killing them.  You only learn by doing, you dunce!  And you'd better not try to weasel out of this by picking wimpy beasts, y'hear?"

Trump

(Trick) Tempofrag: Deal 2d20+Syn damage split up among as many targets as the user wishes, which must include themselves.   Once Per Encounter Cooldown.
-Merit Level: Decreases the damage Kusuke takes from this by 50%.
 
Reserve:

Arbitrarily Large Amount of Sharp Knives (Gear): Deals 1d6+Dex Damage, These knives are sharp enough to defy Low Level RES checks.  Equipment Targeting Attacks must pass a check in order to affect this Gear

Credit Card: A card with a few thousand yen loaded onto it. Makes international transactions.

Extra Hoodie: For if a true disaster strikes. This one is red and has a stylized design featuring Hakumen on the back.

Spoiler: a ripoff of a ripoff (click to show/hide)

Name: Lucine Nadine Einzbern Yggdmillenia
Age: 6 (technically, 12 mentally/physically. To clarify: was basically vat-grown to the equivalent of age 6 and then allowed to grow normally.)
Gender: Female
Race: Homunculus
Appearance: A girl with long, teal hair - no, she's not Hatsune Miku - usually tied back in a simple ponytail, and eyes of a dull red color. She's just about average height for her age, maybe an inch or so over average. Her clothing outside of her magical girl form tends to be rather subdued and occasionally trending toward the boyish; Lucine isn't normally much for skirts or dresses, though she doesn't exactly hate them. Contrary to this, though, her magical girl form appears somewhat similarly to her other counterparts, with the primary difference being color scheme; her outfit is a somewhat more subdued shade of the same tone that makes up her hair, and has entirely connected sleeves; the two wing-like attachments on her back are also forked at the ends. 

Personality: Not shy, but rather conflict-averse. She is just fine being left to her own pursuits and enjoys studying more than you might expect the average twelve-year-old girl to. Lucine enjoys helping people with their various issues, but is somewhat easily frustrated when doing so. If she has to fight, she typically relies on the trance function of her Kaleidostick, running mostly on autopilot and retreating into the back of her mind.

Merit: 11
HP: 24
Mana: 40%
Moves: TBD

Stats:

• Essence: 5
• Constitution: 2
• Dexterity: 3
• Intelligence: 6
• Resistance: 2
• Strength: 1
• Synergy: 11

Perks:

Conceptual Coder: Lucine has the somewhat unique talent of being able to inscribe Class Cards with a summoning ritual (with sufficient magical power), both on the traditional medium and into other items, to grant them properties based on the Heroic Spirit forming the card. Summoning a Heroic Spirit into a card relies on her Synergy, and can pull from the history of the world she is currently in if she has learned any meaningful amount of it; she may also attempt an Essence roll to influence the card summoned. The ritual itself must also take place over a confluence of leylines, or it runs the risk of significantly draining Lucine's energy. Creating components or Mystic Codes using a Card relies on her Intelligence. Some Class Cards can be leveled; others have a fixed scaling.

Include: Limit Expand: Lucine's imitation Kaleidostick retains the ability to include a Class Card, modifying its properties based on the card included and applying this modifier to all of her actions. Grants a special Action Slot that can only be used for this purpose. The precise changes are detailed in the Card's description.

Install: Phantasm Summon: Though Lucine's Kaleidostick doesn't have the power needed to do a full Install, it can grant its wielder some of a Heroic Spirit's properties; due to the loss in power, it prioritizes defensive ones first. Grants a special Action Slot that can only be used to equip a Class Card. The precise ability granted is detailed in the Card's description.

Flaw: Magical Life: Lucine, despite appearing mostly like a human and largely being set up like one, is still a person created using magic rather than being born naturally. While she has large reserves of power, she burns through them quickly. Each combat takes a baseline of 15% of her storage capacity, and summoning a Class Card takes 60%. There are numerous methods of restoring one's mana, but she does not begin knowing them.

Actions:

Include: Nero Claudius: Aestus Domus Aurea: Each one of Lucine's attacks has a 10% chance to Dazzle, which causes the victim to lose its next action and deals SYN damage to any nearby enemies.
Install: Herakles: God Hand: Negates all actions targeting Lucine's that are Level 2 or lower. After being attacked, she gains +2SYN/3 resistance when attacked with the same damage type for the remainder of the battle.
-Actives
 
Big Blast I: A long-ranged magical assault consisting of a number of blasts of raw magic. Not a particularly refined technique, but it gets the job done. Deals SYN damage 3 times, to up to 3 different targets. 1 turn cooldown.

Restful Repose (level 1, trick):  By sleeping near a potent source of magical energy for at least 8 hours, Lucine can recover 50% of her mana capacity.  This can only be done once per day.
-Trick Level: Can now remove one debuff, including one semipermanent one at the GM's discretion.

Unassuming Presence: The user has a nonthreatening, innocent appearance. Enemies must make an opposed Essence check against the user or the user gains +1 RES against them, they will be 10% less likely to target the user, and will give the user small free items, such as candy or bullets (depending on context.)

-Passives

Elphet Style II: Every three attacks, the user may make an additional attack.

Mystic Coding IV:  Grants +10 INT while crafting Mystic Codes.

Low Quality Flow Acceleration: The user loses less magic to inefficient equipment.
-Gear Level 1: Automatically gain +1 Syn in combat when using a transformation or buff, which ends with the transformation or buff

Come True: The user has utilized the power of human souls to grant their deepest truest wish and survived to tell the tale.
-Trick Level 1: The user gains an extreme resistance to harm from channeling magical energy from an outside source.

Equipment:

Kaleidostick Magical Opal (Level 3): Provides numerous things to Lucine, including a fair amount of unnecessary headache at times and the ability to utilize her powers as a magical girl. It's been modified heavily from the original designs by both Lucine and her father, resembling a pair of oversized pistols when in use in combat. The guns lock together into a slightly less threatening-looking winged box when not in combat mode, a box that can fly about under its own power.
-Damage: (Worlds Cleared+1)d8+SYN (Currently 2d8)
-Soulbound: This item is immune to most item destruction or theft effects, but can be given away, granting most of Lucine's combat powers to the bearer instead.

Ammunition of the Waterfront Saint: Bullets that lend attacks the kick of a certain brawling saint. All attacks that hit while this is equipped cause a -2 SYN debuff on the victim lasting 1 turn. Only equippable if the user is already using a firearm.

Vulture Bike: A light and extremely fast vehicle that occupies 2 action slots when equipped, and provides no protection to the rider on its own.  However, it does give the rider +2 dexterity and access to the following action:

Spider Mines (3/3):  3 times per encounter, the rider can lay a spider mine in front of target ally.  When an ally protected by a mine is attacked from close range, the mine charges the attacker and explodes, dealing 2d6 damage.

Necromantic Shotgun: A shotgun modified and enhanced by Freya and Lucine, turning it into a Mystic Code. It has a nasty bite.
-Base: Deals 1d8+DEX damage. +5 to opposed checks that involve shooting or striking someone with the gun.
-Craft Level: This gun now deals Synergy-based damage.
-Craft Level: Craft level: as an action the user may make a melee attack with this weapon for 1d6+[Syn]+5(due to it's other attribute) Necrotic damage, successfully hitting a biological enemy with this attack increases the damage of the next normal attack made with this weapon by 2d8, cooldown of 2. 
-Craft Level: This weapon is only usable by Freya or Lucine, if both are present in the same combat this secondary attack of this weapon deals an extra 1d6 Necrotic damage and the damage buff caused by striking biological targets also increases damage dice by one step.

Berserker Class Card - Herakles: A Class Card containing the essence of the Heroic Spirit Herakles, as summoned under the Berserker class. When Included, it places a debuff on all enemies Lucine targets (regardless of whether her attack is successful) that halves the effect of all defensive and regenerative abilities. When Installed, Lucine cannot be damaged by non-Trump attacks that are level 1.
-Level 2: When attacked, gain SYN/3 resistance when attacked again by the same damage type.
-Level 3: As Level 2, but add an additional SYN/3 resistance for a total of 2SYN/3
-Level 4: Now defends against attacks of level 2 or lower.

Toxic Cap Bullets: On hit, if the target is not already afflicted, inflict the “Toxic Spores” debuff, which Deals 1d12 damage per turn for one turn, However, whenever an enemy afflicted with this debuff makes a melee attack, that attack will constitute poison for the purposes of weaknesses. Requires the user to be wielding a firearm to equip.
Level 2: “Toxic Spores” now reduces the afflicted target’s Res by 5 for its duration.

Saber Class Card - Nero Claudius: A Class Card containing the essence of the Heroic Spirit Nero Claudius. When Included, it adds a chance to Dazzle on all of her attacks, stunning the primary target and dealing SYN damage to those nearby. When Installed, it gives her a 33% chance to regenerate 10% of her health, a 33% chance to take 25% less damage, and a 33% chance to do nothing at all at the start of each round.

Rider Class Card: Jim Raynor, Marshal of Mar Sara
Include- Riding B+: Lucine gains the ability to ride anything short of a phantasmal beast as if she had years of practice, and to ride motorcycles and other powered bikes with extremely superhuman levels of skill. She gains [essence]% evasion while riding a motorcycle or other powered bike.
Install- Overload (Stimpack) C : Lucine can pay 25% of her MHP to gain an extra action this turn, which must be spent on moving or attacking. This can only be done once per turn, and only during her turns.

Archer Class Card - Red Sonja: A card containing the tale of Red Sonja, under the Archer class. When Included, it prevents any effects from hampering Lucine's attacks, and allows her to load anything she can lift into Opal as a projectile; Opal gains a large top-loader and a laser sight. When Installed, it renders Lucine immune to most environmental effects.

USED IN CRAFTS:

Foreigner Class Card:  Kosi-Chan: This class card carries an image of a rather adorable young girl with long grey hair.  She's reading an unlabeled book, and has a series of small, grey pyramids with an opalescent sheen orbiting her head like a crown.
Install:  Annihilator - Whenever Lucine deals damage while this class card is installed, the victim must sacrifice 1 stat point of their choice.
Include:  Glimpse the Unthinkable - Lucine can activate this ability to learn the answer to any question, but then suffer a random info-hazard proportional to the value of the answer.

Lancer Class Card - Scathach the Gatekeeper:  This class card contains the lancer aspect of the legendary celtic warrior-queen Scathach, the guardian of the Isle of Skye, first wielder of Gae Bolg, and Cu Chulainn's mentor.  When included, a reflection of Scathach's noble phantasm clones projectiles fired, so that whenever Lucine fires a bullet she fires one more bullet than she otherwise would.  When included, Scathach's legendary teaching skills are manifested, granting a bonus to quality rolls equal to Lucine's intelligence when she tries to learn or upgrade a trick, or helps someone else learn or upgrade a trick.

Spoiler: brain damaged warship (click to show/hide)

Name: HMS Furious
Age: Apparently mid-20s, original existed for ~38 years
Gender: Female, if she's cognizant of it
Sex: Female
Race: Kanmasu
Appearance: A woman of moderate height and immoderate bust, Furious at first brush appears to be an elegant, refined woman who’s just returned from a vacation. Indeed, she can put on a veneer of refinement and elegance, but her sun-bleached hair and scarring hint at her true personality. Furious seemingly has an outfit for every occasion (including a formal one looking identical to the one donned by her half-sister Glorious, but is most often spotted in a dark-colored jacket of a fairly plain design with a gray undershirt, paired with simple pants (or shorts, weather and occasion permitting.) . . . Of course, she doesn't get into much outside her casual clothing without prompting after her injury.
 
Her rigging is a bit of a patchwork. In a failed effort to reconnect her with her experiences, she was refitted to more closely match her steel counterpart as originally completed. The right side of her rigging is gauntlet-like, with two hull sections "clasped" about a single eighteen-inch gun. The left has been unified into one section that sits on and behind her shoulder, with the flying-off deck making it almost resemble a rocket launcher. This side also bears her single smokestack.
 
Personality: There are hints of her original brash, contrarian personality in her behavior, but the current Furious is innocent and childlike. She seems to treat fighting as a game, not really understanding the full weight of combat. She has, however, retained most of her technical and combat know-how, and rapidly acquires new ones; one trait that has stayed with her is welcoming novelty.
 
Merit: 0

Moves:
 
Stats:

• Essence: 1
• Constitution: 4
• Dexterity: 6
• Intelligence: 6
• Resistance: 1
• Strength: 2
• Synergy: 1

Perks:
Fleet Girl: Furious exists on the Ships tab and begins with a single slot for ship equipment. Ship equipment may only be changed between plots, and takes double the number of regular equipment slots.
 
Flagship's Crew: Allies can borrow Furious's equipment slots.
 
Naval Arsenal: Furious gains twice as many action slots from INT.
 
Flaw: Wisdom Cube Damage: The Wisdom Cube is a mysterious item that contains all of the information about a shipgirl's power and personality. Furious took a nasty hit to it while safeguarding the destroyer V-99 and hasn't been the same since. Her INT is considered to be 0 for purposes outside what is directly relevant to maintaining and operating her equipment.
 
Actions (7 Slots):
 
BL 18-inch Mark 1: A naval relic and one of only three of its kind. This gun has enormous power, but is lacking in most other respects. Deals 3d12+INT damage on a 3 round cooldown; if it is used to attack at range, it has a 50% chance of missing.
-Level 2: The target's RES is considered to be halved for the attack.
-Level 3: Yellow Eco upgrades allow it to be fired over the horizon, with a 75% miss chance on targets Furious can't see directly. It cannot be fired unless Furious disables the safety as a free action, and the safety will re-engage if the gun goes for a minute without firing.
 
Sopwith Camels: A complement of fairy-piloted fighter planes modeled after the ones used in the First World War. As an action, target 1 ally. Fighter cover deals the user's INT/2 damage to enemies that attack that ally, or double if the enemy is flying.
-Level 2: 3/4 INT damage.
-Level 3: INT damage.
 
Reserve:

AA Suite: An array of smaller guns meant for defense against enemy aircraft. They're not well-maintained and mostly useless in Furious's current form.

Name: Harry Walters
Age: 44
Gender: Male
Sex: Male

Race: Human
Appearance: He is 5'8", caucasian, and generally looks older than his age Just wait till we get full bioengineering and tissue regrowth in here though. His face sags just a little, and he has short black hair. He has a small, slightly lopsided mustache. Harry generally wears standard LFC military gear (loose black and grey uniform with a multitude of pockets), and is quite solidly built. Currently however, he's wearing a worn set of jeans and t-shirt from a Goodwill on Earth Bet with a ballistic vest over top. It is unlikely that you'll see him without either latex gloves or black leather gloves on his hands.
Personality/Bio:[Largely Incomplete] Harry Walters was born on Old Earth, in the middle of the 27th century. He lived most of his early life in the region formerly known as Swtizerland. There his father,a physicist, worked at a high energy particle collider, intent upon utilizing string theory for superluminal travel. However, the man disappeared under mysterious circumstances. This was a crippling event for Harry, and it was only through prescient intervention by his mother that the boy was prevented from committing suicide. He recieved counseling, and found his psychological footing again, though to this day he seems somewhat detached and uncaring. Harry attended university as the age of fourteen, and after completing four years, he set out for the colonies. He volunteered as a field surgeon exactly one day after war was declared, and was transferred to the special ops division. He's talented at what he does, and professional, though somewhat awkward in his manner towards his patients.

"A Good Deed is its own Reward, but I'll Take What I Can Get." Harry receives extra merit beyond the usual (determined by a GM) for furthering medical science and/or establishing/advancing medical practice in a lasting manner in a world.

 

Flaw:

Combat Surgeon's a dangerous job: For one round after Harry heals an ally, he will be hit by a copy of the first attack made against the ally that he healed. If he used a multiheal, he simply takes a copy of the first three attacks made against the subjects of the multiheal.


Actions: (7 combat slots)

Slap on Bandaid and call it good enough: Heals one target by 1d4+INT

Level 2: This heal now has first strike.

Speedy Prognosis: Harry gets one extra turn per combat round, only allowed to be used for healing actions (no attacking actions, maybe no buffing). Nonupgradeable, and cannot be duplicated.

 

Bone Reinforcement: Harry has +3 MHP, this passive doesn't take up a slot.

Level 2: Now +6.

 

(Upgrade to 30% boost)

Trump:

 

Jump Start: If an ally has been brought to 0 HP within the last two rounds, Harry, using a combination of a large adrenaline injection, a small electric defibrillator, and a bunch of cellular regeneration compounds, may bring that ally back to life at half health. Once per world cooldown, and won't work if the ally has been completely incinerated or something similar.

 

Definitely-Really-Quite-Safe, No-Survivors-Have-Ever-Complained-Augmentation: The user may, once per plot, engage in advanced Experimental Surgery, using Objects and their own abilities to attempt to do something to a living creature, such as granting Stat Bonuses, Enhancements, or Healing.

Level 2: Theoretical implications: Receive one OOC warning from the GM if the user starts to make a grievous error per use of this trump.

Level 3: Harry can now effectively utilize retroviruses as a key part of this surgery.

 

Tricks:

 
Spoiler

Trauma Control (trick, level 1): Harry has experience dealing with panicked or angry mobs. Grants a +1 bonus to checks to gain the attention of, direct, and calm mobs if they have no particular reason to dislike him.


Xenobiologist Moment (trick, level 1): The user has an inspiration regarding alien biology. Grant +8 Int to a roll involving the study of unknown biological material. 6 Uses Per Encounter. 5 left.


He will gain +3 to his next roll when working with Aragami parts, however, with this new, helpful knowledge.


Medbay Boy(trick, level 1): The user gains +2 Int while in the medbay.


Retroviral Crafting (trick AP, level 1): The user has the ability to produce up to 10 Samples of Retroviral Serum per world, which must be specified down to the last detail on crafting, including which species it is intended for use in, it's intended effect, and all features of it's reproduction, and any failsafes intentionally included. Samples from organic life are required to craft Retroviral Serums, or the user must perform a high DC Int Check to produce DNA code wholesale.

Level 2 (AP): Just follow the recipe: Once Harry has successfully created a retrovirus, provided he has sufficient materials (determined by GM), he may make the same retrovirus again without a roll. Recipes:

    TGIW-R 001: (Thank God It Works-Regenerative) A retrovirus crafted based on the properties of the Galdur Tree.
        1. Shows up in two colors on test paper, either Green or Red, Red being Inactive, and Green being Active.
        2. It will go into hibernation when below a given temperature.
        3. It will shut down 3 hours after an activation chemical is given.
        4. It will remain inactive until an activation Chemical is Given.
        Targets afflicted gain Con/5 health regeneration (min 1) per turn. The user's sweat is stained light green.
        Confirmed safe for humans by XCOM tech. Results from various machines are in Harry's files.
        Given to XCOM for 3 merit


Free Range Biologist (trick, level 1): The user is kinda focused on collecting samples right now, can you hold on? Healing Actions are half as effective while equipped, if equipped for an entire encounter, the user gains 1d6 Biological Samples, of varying quality based on the current world. These samples are safely contained and come with rudimentary understanding of their purpose and usage.


Now you see me. . . (trick, level 1): Allows the user to edit themselves out of a target's senses. Requires line of site, and only works on one target at a time. Harry now has the ability to work with Psionics.


Psionic Resistance (Passive, Trick, Level 1😞 The user can passively resist the absolute most minor of mental effects without a roll.


Hemorrhage (trick, level 1): Harry can now burst a blood vessel in his brain at will.

Training Level 2: Harry can now burst someone else's blood vessel in their brain as long as Harry has physical contact with them, forcing an Int vs Essence check.


Autosensory Trance (trick, level 1): Harry has learned to sense his body's actual state, instead of merely what his body is telling him. The user may either make a check to dispel physical illusions and pain-based attacks, or a check to convert a random portion of their damage into a debuff which can be treated as one. Limit 3 per encounter.


From a certain point of view (trick, Level 1): Harry gains the ability to see the world from a new point of view, being able to expand his senses to roughly 10 feet radius, being able to practically see around walls and listen to others despite not being around. However, due to his inexperience, this makes him both vulnerable while using this ability, and turns him into a psionic beacon that other psychics can easily spot.


Harry can quite obviously see that it might take a while for Somatostatin to really get out, at least until she's let out of whatever time lock she's currently in. However, the notes he writes down, refered to at "God Eater test notes" gives him some idea on how the God Eaters become... Well, God Eaters, more than before, at least, giving him a +2 to checks concerning Aragami and God Eaters, to GM discretion.

Psionic Message (trick, Level 1): In his attempts to imitate what Proditor does casually, Harry has figured out how to directly send his thoughts to other people. And that is it. He is still unable to hear other people's thoughts, but can now throw his own thoughts at another person's head. 10 meter distance limit.
Level 2 (trick): Harry can now hear a willing person's responses to his telepathic messages.
Level 3 (merit): Range is now 100 meters
Level 4 (merit): Range is now 200 meters

Psionic Levitation (trick, Level 1): Harry can lift objects up by making an Int check against them. However, if the object is bigger/heavier than a regular book, Harry is unable to lift it, and if Harry levitates something for too long, he will take damage based on GM discretion via migraine.

Level 2: Harry can now lift something that is 5 kilograms

Level 3: Range of lifting is increased to 25 feet.


Training Roll: 22 vs 11 Quality of training: Natural 20.

Vital Targetting (trick, level 1): Harry can now fire where the opponent would be at their weakest by using his head. When he uses a gun, Harry adds Int/4 to his gun's damage.


Retrovirus Creation: Harry gains +2 to all rolls to make retroviruses


Basic Psionic Knowledge: Harry gets a 5% increase to his intelligence on all basic Psionic Training (Basic being up to GM discretion).

 

 

 

Equipment:

 

Wolftech Kevlar Polymer Synthesis Heavy Ballistic Infantry Combat Armor: Grants +5 RES, but at a -2 STR penalty.

Level 2 (merit): This armor no longer has a penalty.

Level 3 (Trick): This armor now grants 2 less RES, but grants two Slots which can only be used for specially designed items (Plates, primarily)

    1xDeath Wyvern Plate (+3 RES)
    1xDeath Wyvern Plate (+3 RES)

 

Carbide Survival Tool: Basically a Bowie knife with a decent number of other small tools stored in the handle. Deals 2d6+STR damage, with an INT*2% chance to crit for double damage.

 

D'Arnet's Modern Military Medical Procedures Digital+Field Kit: Whenever Harry is faced with a problem he is having difficulty with, he consults this eleven thousand page book on his compad, where there are clear and concise instructions for unusual situations, with even speculative ideas about Xenobiology. It even contains an advanced human being analogue program, used for field tutorials and for estimating the effects of chemicals on human physiology. Harry may be brilliant, but even he needs a compilation of all the knowledge he can get, and tools. Grants +3 to INT when treating wounded. Lets the user heal a target by 1d4+INT.

 

2x Glock G-43: Two handguns taken from some gangsters. Deals 1d6 damage with a 5+INT or DEX crit chance, with a -1 penalty at the end.

 

XCOM Grenade: A seemingly normal frag grenade used by XCOM before they acquired better tech. Deals 2d6+Dex damage to an opponent and the two people closest to them on the initiative order. Single time only.

 

Crystal Vialx1: Restores 1d4+4 HP when used. Single use.

 

Quartz Vialx1: Restores 2d6+4 HP when used. Single use.

 

Kratar of Mightx1: Clear all negative statuses/debuffs from a target, and grant +3 to a stat of choice for the remainder of the encounter.

 

Slaugtar Shield: When used, decrease damage by 50% until the user's next turn.

 

ADVENT Plasma Rifle: 3d6 + INT damage, INT % chance to deal double damage.

Reserve:
Spoiler

    Pertinent Cape Knowledgex2 (crafting reagent): Knowledge about Capes in the worm verse. Might be useful in an attempt to increase INT, make a device for recognizing capes, or for checks that require knowledge of capes.
    Pertinent Cape Biology Knowledge(crafting reagent): Knowledge about Parahuman powers that may be used in crafting or checks.
    4 (2 remaining) Deathwyvern plates: each one the correct size to be inserted into a Balistics vest. Each grants +3 RES, at least when used in a vest on its own. (Not sure what it would do if used to upgrade existing armor)
    3x Timefucked metal (crafting reagent): Pieces of steel that rapidly fluctuate between shiny, rusted, and all the states in between. Do not hld with bare hands unless you want some cuts.
    1x Gold timefucked metal (crafting reagent): Same as above, but a piece of gold. More likely rapidly changing shape, and less likely to hurt your hand.
    Reiver Gravestone fragment (crafting reagent): A piece of a Reiver's gravestone (Hexen). Was used to summon Reivers from the ground.
    Mystic Urn Fragmentx1 (crafting reagent): A fragment of a mystic urn. From Hexen
    Death Wyvern DNA tissue samplex1 (crafting reagent): Cells scraped from death wyvern scales.

    1 Chaos Serpent Horn (crafting reagent): The horns harvested from several Chaos Serpents. They are long and marred with nicks and chips seemingly from combat, and have a very small hollow through the center that would let them inject anything they impaled with acid, much like a snake uses fangs. This also suggests that as with almost every other part of the Serpent the horns are acid resistant.

    1 Chaos Serpent DNA sample (crafting reagent): A sample of the blood of a Chaos Serpent, maybe useful in searching out specific snips to make use of in future projects.

    Assorted Decaying Human Organs (crafting reagent): A set of human organs harvested from an Ettin for later study. They appear to be decomposing more quickly than normal human tissue would.

    Vajra Spark Fang (crafting reagent): This tooth, broken off of an enraged Vajra, crackles lightly with electricity still flowing through it, though it is still not harmful. Perhaps this may help learn what the hell an Aragami is?

    Piece of a Chi-You's wing:

    1x Restore Pill from God Eater
    Rations Pack: A pack of self heating food that Harry has.

Spoiler: Science Robot (click to show/hide)

​

Name: Ena

Age: Created 6 years ago.

Gender: Female

Sex: Female

Race: Humanoid Robot

Appearance:

Ena is an obviously robotic humanoid. Made of somewhat disjointed black matte steel plates fitting a feminine form, she stands around 5’7”. In between her armor plates, metal tubes, wires, tendons, and durable joints are somewhat visible. Her head is human head shaped, and lacking in any form of synthetic hair. Ena has a clear face plate, somewhat resembling the shape of a human face to give a little bit of personality. Her facial expressions are made using a set of variable brightness green lights. These can be used to create fairly human expressions, or more stylized or cartoonish images. At times, Ena leaves the facial expressions off entirely. She wears a brown beret on her head, and is clothed by a ripped yellow t-shirt with a smiley face on it and a pair of loose jeans.

Speaks Russian in addition to English.

 

Personality:

Since Ena’s primary purpose was to be an enforcer; so she wasn't built for small talk, and while she understands how to hold up a conversation due to extensive conversation training, she usually requires a reason to do so. When she wishes to communicate, it will often involve brief evocative facial expressions lit up on her faceplate, meant to serve almost as a substitute for conversation.

 

Ena admired her creator to an almost obsessive degree, and continues to suspect that he might have been an even more highly advanced AI than her to be able to design her independently. This is a fairly minor aspect of her personality, but represents a fundamental failure of her rationality, possibly due to bugs, possibly due to false axioms. On a completely unrelated note, Ena has a great appreciation for clothing and style, often increasing or decreasing her opinions of people depending on what they wear.

 

While Ena was quite enthusiastic about her future role in the IFPP, she found herself disoriented by this sudden change of mission. She had an ingrained purpose, something she was meant to do, something only she could do (or so she thought), and yet on a dime she was given a new mission. It destroyed her sense of unyielding purpose and her notion of the undeniable necessity of her previous mission. If she could be turned to a new task so easily, if the IFPP hadn’t needed her, why had she been created? She does not want to become a jack of all trades that the higher ups will throw at problems if she happens to be available, forcing her to like the mission she is assigned.

 

Bio:

Ena was “born” six years ago, created by Suhkrab Aslan working for the IFPP (Interdimensional Fundamental Physics Police). She was a prototype enforcer, a robot intended to ensure that the different worlds under the jurisdiction of the IFPP weren’t breaking the laws of physics. . . too much. Violations included any drastic manipulation of the spacetime continuum, such as using wormholes to siphon energy directly from other universes, violating causality for any number of reasons, and a number of things, including excessive use of what many more primitive civilizations might call magic ((Admittedly, the scope of the IFPP was incredibly minor, compared to the extent of the multiverse. They only worked over about 100 unusually close worlds)). Ena’s creation was a long and arduous process, and she had her first flickerings of consciousness over an entire year leading up to her formal birth. However, she traditionally regards her birth date as the day when Suhkrab first showed demonstrated her brain’s capabilities to the panel of directors.

 

Following her acceptance by the directors, for the first two years of her life, Ena spent time interacting with people, calibrating algorithms, and downloading vast quantities of physics knowledge as part of her training. Meanwhile, Suhkrab worked to develop limbs and hardware for his creation.

 

Two weeks before the completion deadline for his grant, Suhkrab began to rush to finish his last-minute adjustments. Ena was mostly complete, but he needed to perform bug checks and add a few more functionalities to her. After a long day’s work, Ena shut herself down for the night, and when she awoke the next morning, she found herself talking to a woman calling herself Dr. Ebon.

Actions: 6 slots.

-Actives

 

Fluid Dynamics: Ena increases the viscosity of air in a region, and inflicts the "Turbulence” status on a target, decreasing the DEX of a target by INT for 2 rounds. 3 round cooldown.

Level 2: 2 round cooldown.

 

Close Quarters Defense: While Ena might not be fast, she can hit hard if an enemy gets too close. Against an enemy that has attacked Ena in a melee manner in the last round, Ena may deal weapon damage +2d8 (and +STR if the weapon doesn't use a stat). 2 turn cooldown.

 

Imposition: Using knowledge of how enemies act when they have their best toys taken away from them, Ena can efficiently defeat them. Deal weapon damage on an enemy, adding 1d6 for each status or debuff active on that enemy.

Level 2: Adds 2d3 for each status or debuff

Level 3: 1d8 now.

Level 4: 2d4 now

 

Lock On: Ena calculates the trajectories and positions of a target enemy, giving them the "Target locked" status. If she attacks that enemy next round, the first hit will do double damage. 3 turn cooldown.

 

(Future: More damage against high Essence enemies, deal damage to someone who has removed a status, deal more damage to people defending, mechanical reflexes that force people to doge twice to actually dodge something.)

 

 -Passives

Nerd Rage: Always equipped, doesn't take up a slot. Does. . . something.

 

Leverage: Through advanced computational software, Ena is capable of applying force in an optimized manner. Ena has +3 STR in combat and when it is being considered for checks.

 

High Resolution: Ena's optical sensors are finely tuned, allowing her to perceive things at great distance, and accurately calibrate her motions with ranged weapons to hit distant objects. +2 to INT for perception checks, +2 to ranged damage.

Level 2: +1 more to perception checks and damage

Level 3: +1 more to perception checks and damage

Level 4:+1 more to each

Level 5: +1 more to each

Level 6: +1 more to each

Level 7: +1 more to each (for a total of +8 to each currently)
 

 

-Trumps:

Continuum Investigator (perk backed): Once per world, Ena may spend time to investigate the fundamental laws of the world that she's in. The GM may roll, and determine a law which she will be able to find and replicate in other universes. Thus, a new trump is created, giving the ability to manifest this law in another world. The strength of the trump, and the possibility of removing this law, or doing other more interesting things with it are all subject to the roll. These laws should be small things, generally, except on maybe on large successes, which might give the ability to control gravity within a certain area or perhaps control the strength of the electromagnetic force.

 

The Grapple Rules (Trump, Level 1): In order to use this action, Ena must make physical contact with an enemy. Ena and that enemy make an opposed strength check. If Ena wins the check, one of Ena's arms is rendered occupied and that enemy is banished until Ena chooses to end the grapple. Ena cannot invoke the Grapple Rules without a free hand, and every occupied hand she has gives the enemy target a +10 bonus on their opposed check.

 

Pinball Wizard: Once per encounter may be used to prevent momentum from being conserved for 1 round for a target.

 

Tricks:

 

Marathon Amateur (Trick, level 1): By observing Vitor's excellent running form, Ena has learned to run [con/4] meters per action faster.

Advanced Sensor Array (Merit based): Grants Ena a +2 to hearing checks. Upgrading this trick is easier than normal.

 

Equipment:

 

CPH Core Mounts: A high tech hub for power sources. There is a small backup battery in her thigh, but the most of her power comes from this central location. It has three slots for mini items that can boost CON, or provide other minor effects. Soulbound.

Slot 1: CFC Light Fusion Core: +2 CON

Slot 2: CFC Light Fusion Core: +2 CON

Slot 3: CFC Light Fusion Core: +2 CON

 

CNT Humanoid Body: Both Ena’s body, and her armor. It is made of a high strength titanium steel alloy combined with a carbon fiber nanoweave. Grants +3 RES (starting gear level), and gives +75% bonus to base RES (perk level). Soulbound

Level 2: +2 RES

Level 3: +2 RES

 

Holmium Plasma Torch: Level 1 (starting gear level): A handheld welder, capable of cutting through pretty much anything. Deals 1d6+STR damage. Ignores most RES checks.

 

1 Overwatch-issue DRM:  This high-powered rifle was designed by legendary engineer Torbjorn Lindholm for extreme penetrative power and accuracy.  Deals 2d6 + int damage, has a dex x2% chance to critically hit.  Critical hits ignore armor.  Characters who are not practiced with firearms may dislocate their shoulders when firing.

Level 2: Intelligent Aim (Trick, Level 1): Ena is able to use intelligence in place of dexterity for determining the DMR's crit chance now. Currently makes the crit chance (2*8 INT)=16% (Used one merit to integrate this trick into the weapon?)

 
Spoiler

    Sensor Array Utility: Level 1 (starting gear level): Prevents perception based detriments from inhibiting vision. Gives the ability to see well in the dark.

Nerd coming back in for the move

Spoiler:  An ancient alien (click to show/hide)

Name: Proditor
Age: 3,114 years old
Gender: Male
Race: Ethereal
Sex: Unknown

Appearance: Proditor appears roughly the same as any Ethereal of his time, with the only changes being in his robe’s color, which is a primary bright blue with black accents instead of the bright red and gold most Ethereals wear. When not floating around, Proditor stands at 9 feet tall.

Personality: Proditor is generally classified as a calm, collected individual who rarely gets annoyed by anything. While he speaks in a simple, vague tone, he is nevertheless willing to help others if he can, even if it means teaching them how to control the psionic powers that other races use to combat their own.

Merit:
HP: 22
Moves: 1
 
Stats:
Essence: 10
Constitution: 1
Dexterity: 1
Intelligence: 18
Resistance: 1
Strength: 0
Synergy: 8
 

Perks:
Ethereal Mind: The minds of the Ethereals are powerful and complex, capable of using their great intellect to shape the world around them. Proditor gains +1 Int whenever he gains Int without spending Merit

Extreme Will: Ethereals are steadfast creatures… For the most part. Proditor stands among them as one of the strongest minds of their race. All mental affecting ailments are forced into a check Proditor’s Essence vs their Essence, and must succeed against him, to actually effect him.

Mind Control: Ethereals, due to their power of psionic energy, are capable of dominating the minds of lesser creatures, and use them for their own. Unlocks the ability "Psionic Control".

Pyrophobic (Flaw): Proditor has a special fear of fire, seeing it as a tool that can destroy anything it sets it’s sights on, no matter what technology is used against it. When hit with a fire attack, Proditor has a 75% chance to be stunned on his next turn.
 
 
Actions:
-Actives

Psionic Control: Ethereals can take over the minds of weaker opponents, using them for their own use. Targets one enemy and forces a check that uses Proditor’s Intelligence vs the target’s Essence. If Proditor wins, the enemy falls under his control for 4 turns, but has to sacrifice his actions to control the target. If he fails, nothing happens. 6 turn cooldown.
Psionic Control Level 2: Mind Controlled unit now acts separately to Proditor.
Psionic Control Level 3: Duration increased to 5 turns.

 
Psi Lance: A bolt of pure psionic energy that Proditor fires from his mind at a single target, dealing 1d6+Syn damage.
Psi Lance Level 2: Damage increased to 2d6+SYN
Psi Lance Level 3: Damage increased to 3d6+SYN

 

Mind Fray:
Proditor infects the mind of an opponent, forcing a check against Proditor’s Intelligence vs the target’s Essence. If Proditor wins, the enemy takes [INT]/2 points of damage, and their Essence lowers by 1 point for every 4 Intelligence Proditor has.
 
 
-Passives
Growing Knowledge: Proditor has learned a great many things from previous wars, making him a quick learner on the battlefield. After every round, Proditor gains +2 Int, up to a maximum of +6.
 
 
-Trumps
Rift: Proditor unleashes his full Psionic might, creating a large rift in the air that promptly explodes. Up to four enemies can be targeted by this ability, and when they do, they must make a check against Proditors INT*1.5 vs their Essence. If they do not succeed, They gain a 50% miss chance for 1 turn due to nausea. Enemies targeted by this take 3d8+INT damage each, Bypassing many physical defences. Once per encounter.

 

Ethereal Body: Ethereals, while their biology is very different from regular humans, have the ability to 'transcend' their physical form, becoming practically spiritual. For 1 turn after this trump is used, Proditor becomes completely untargetable. Once per plot.
Level 2: Duration increased to 2 turns


Equipment:
Psionic Amplifier: Proditor has installed a small device into his helm, amplifying his already immense Psionic powers. Enhances Psionic Lance’s damage by 20% of his Syn.

Reserve:
Ethereal Robes and Helm

(Item) Psychic Impression: "Personal Transportation": A faint Psychic Signature, taken with ease from the Parahuman Tinker known as Squealer.  Maybe this could be used to draw a smattering of knowledge from the otherworldly font that other Tinkers draw from?

(Item) Mote of Focussed Will: This item is roughly equivilant to 1/3 a point of Ess, and may be exchanged as such, or used in creating other things


Tricks
(Trick) Nauseate: The user psychically vibrates the bones in a person's ears, creating a loud pircing scream in their head, and causing nausia.  Target must make two saves, one to save against stun, and one to save against Vomiting and Deafness, both made against their Con.

(Trick)Psychic Barrier: The user triggers a RES check against incoming projectiles, until the user takes damage

(Trick)Mind Rob: Proditor can now treat mental objects as though they were actual ones, taking them as loot, and using them in crafting or for other purposes.

(Trick) Parahuman Trump: Proditor can gain access to an action by tapping nearby parahumans, this action starts at level 1, and can be used so long as Proditor is near that Parahuman.
When a Power is tapped, roll 1d2, on a 1, Proditor remains normal, on a 2, he assumes traits from the parahuman in question. Proditor can assimilate this action into his permanent list, but the associated mental traits of that parahuman are also ingrained.

(Trick): Inference Engine: The power Proditor acquired from Tattletale. Must be near her in order to use this power.
(Level 1) The user can gain up to 3 hints about random elements of a situation.  This is refreshed each encounter.

(Trick) Phantom Soul: Proditor latches onto the mind of a willing individual, his own body phasing into nonexistence as he becomes a passenger for the individual's mind.
(Level 1) Proditor is unable to use actions while this trick is active.
(Level 2) Proditor is able to use actions while this trick is active, but his stats are considered 0 for attacks.

(Trick) Thoughtborrow: The user is able to copy a limited version of an ally's Trick, using telekinesis to fill in for missing powers, and the target's own thoughts for skill.  3 Uses per encounter.

(Trick)Psionic Unlock:  This trick lets Proditor unlock others' psionic potential by teaching them to edit themselves out of any single target person's senses.  Requires line of sight.  Only works on one person at a time.  Requires >6 intelligence of the user and target.
 
(Trick): Rapier-Knowledge: A result of Proditor reading a book on Earth, giving him a +2 to learn rapier related actions.

(Trick) Hell Viewing Technique: Prodditor Confronts a target with their worst fear via Psionic hallucination. The target must succeed at an ESS Save against Proditor's ESS+Int, or be rendered helpless. If they succeed the check, they receive a powerful buff for the duration of the encounter, and are immune to future uses of this technique.

Spoiler: The Universe's Greatest Necromancer (click to show/hide)

Name: Freya Wentz
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Race: Human


Appearance: Freya is a rather short person, in almost all aspects physically. Standing at a mere 5’2” with no notable curves to speak of, she generally gives the appearance of a child. Her hair is a short, dark purple color that rather smoothed out, though she has bangs that travel is the side of her face and leave a bit of her forehead exposed. Her eyes, lastly, are a bright red in color

Her outfit is predominately black in almost all aspects. She wears a large, witch-like hat, which is rather well kept, and has a bright white skull badge pinned on it, to signify her school of magic. Her outfit is mostly just a single, plain, sleeveless black dress that ends about an inch above her knees, and covers the area around her neck, with darker piece of fabric wrapped around her stomach to keep it in place, doubling as a holder for small potions and a bag. Freya also has two large sleeves that are disconnected from her dress, being black in color as well and bloom outwards once they reach the hands, and are connected to the dress by single bits of fabric that goes over her shoulder. Her wrists are also bandaged up. Lastly, Freya wears two, rather plain black boots that go up to her knees, with inch long heels, which are meant to give herself a bit more height.

Personality: Freya, at first glance, tends to go against the common conception of Necromancers. Energetic and kind, Freya is the type of person who puts others before herself, and is constantly willing to lend a hand. In addition, she tends to act in ways that will, in her views, ensure the comfort and happiness of as many people as she can.

In reality, Freya is a far more cynical and traumatized than she lets on, due to her upbringing. Her willingness to put others before her comes from her lack of confidence in herself, and is generally the first person to criticize her own capabilities.


Merit: 4
HP: 20
Moves: TBD

Stats:
Essence: 7
Constitution: 0
Dexterity: 2
Intelligence: 3
Resistance: 2
Strength: 0
Synergy: 7
 


Perks:
Necromancy:
“What? Raising the dead is just something Necromancers do. You thought that I couldn't just... Do it?"
Freya, despite her appearance, or perhaps befitting of it, is a very skill Necromancer, and as such knows how to reanimate the dead to do her bidding. Unlocks the action… “Necromancy”.
 
Death’s Lock
“Honestly? Death is a bit of a minor bump in the road for me now. Granted it's hard to come back after it, but I can do it.”
Through planning ahead (or just preparing a spell ahead of time), Freya can survive death once, coming back to life after the turn is over with half her health. However, after being used, Freya must reset the spell, which takes an hour of work to complete.

 

True Resurrection
"Please... Don't go..."
The true power of a Necromancer's magic is being able to bring the dead back to life, not just reanimate them. Unlocks the action "Resurrection"

 

Not Kosher (Flaw)
"I'm generally not well liked in the holy community. Something about being a 'servant of darkness' and 'a crazy psycho bitch' or whatnot. Bunch of weirdos up there if you ask me."
Undoubtedly, Freya's sheer aptitude for Necromancy has caused her soul to visibly blacken, so much so that she is considered evil by most. Freya is locked out of Holy Ground, unless they can sufficiently convince the deity in question otherwise

 

Actions:
-Actives
(Perk backed)Necromancy: Freya targets a dead enemy, specifically, the skeleton of a long dead body, or a revenant, reviving them to heed her command. These revived creatures have their dexterity reduced to 0, though Freya is forced to make an Essence vs Resistance check in order to keep them at their full strength. A success let's Freya use them with their stats at their normal ability, while failing halves each stat aside from Con. These minions count as actions, and must have actions slots to use.

Necromancy Level 2: Dex is now able to be at half capacity if Freya succeeds her roll, but remains at 0 if she fails her reanimation roll.
Necromancy Level 3: Dex is now able to be at full capacity if Freya succeeds her roll, but is halved if she fails her reanimation roll.
Necromancy Level 4: Freya's reanimation roll (Essence vs Resistance) now halves the bodies Resistance stat for the purpose of the roll.

Misty Skulls: Freya slams her staff into the ground, releasing multiple skulls made of grey mist that fly at an enemy, dealing 1d4+SYN damage. In addition, the target must make a check against Freya's Syn vs their Essence. If they fail the check, they must act like they are at critical health.

(Perk backed)Resurrection: Freya revives a friend from death, because she can. Freya brings a person back to life, but permanently loses 1 Syn minimum. The revived person in question starts off with 0 stat points, but gains 1 stat point for every Syn Freya spends.
Level 2: For every Syn Freya spends on reviving someone, the target gets 2 stat points to spend.
Level 3: For every Syn Freya spends, the target gains 3 stat points to spend.


Zombie Hunter: Freya, once she learned about how to manipulate dimensional travel on her own (although limited), whipped up yet another spell to let her find some more powerful corpses by sending a ghost through a dimensional portal to find one. However, as of now, she is only unable to really command what she wants to get, due to the difficulty of keeping the spell active.This action can only be used out of combat.
Level 2: Freya can describe a setting she wants a corpse from. Still can't decide what corpse she gets from said setting.
Level 3: Freya can state if she wants an animal or a 'human' as a corpse from a certain setting.
Level 4: Freya can specify what she wants to get

(Blood Ritual) Blood Engine: Freya transmogrifies one of their undead to feed off the latent energies of blood by implanting Blood Cores into their body.  Chosen undead gains Str equal to the user's Syn for each Blood Core, but if an enemy shoots a core (Or hits it in general), the undead is stunned.  When all cores are destroyed, the undead dies, regardless of former health. A Blood Core cannot be placed on the inside of an undead. Requires 1 gallons of blood from any source.
Level 2: Blood Cores can now be made on gear, to varying effects.


-Passives
Field of Death: While she doesn't admit it, Freya's Necromancy grows to new heights when there are plenty of recent corpses around. When 5 creatures die around her, she gains a 25% increase to her Synergy and Essence until the battle ends.

Necroregeneration: While Necromancy likes to work with the dead, Freya's learned to use it to actually heal herself without her having to focus entirely on it.
Level 1: Freya heals 2 hp per turn
Level 2: Healing increased by another +2.
Level 3: Necroregeneration now does not take up an action slot. However, for every 2 hp it heals, Freya's Syn goes down by -1.


Freya's Personal Little Zombie World: Freya, after learning about the fact that multiple universes exist, whipped up a spell to help abuse that fact, managing to create her own little dimension that she chooses to store her creations in. Freya can store (Syn+Int) zombies into this place at any point in time, and merely creates portals to let them out.
Level 2: Freya can now equip this in combat, which lets her summon a minion as a free action if Freya has an open action slot.
Level 3: Freya's Personal Little Zombie World now considers undead within it to be alive, so long as they are in there.  Undead are capable of training and growing within this pocket space, so long as their false-living needs are taken care of.
 


-Trumps
Natural Requiem: Freya infuses powerful necromancy into nearby soil, causing it to temporarily return to what it once was, spawning undead made of the ground itself. Freya summons Syn*4 zombies made from material in the ground around her, which are grouped into one. Freya then rolls 1d4, which is the health of each zombie. Each zombie can attack for 1d2 damage each. Usable once per encounter.
Level 2: Only 15 zombies can die from a single damage source
Level 3: Each zombie can attack for 1d2+Syn/4 damage
 

Eldritch Abomination: Freya decides to disregard a minion’s physical health, transforming them into a stronger form while practically guaranteeing their decay.
Level 1: When activated, a single minion changes into an Abomination, with their strength, res, and Health being doubled. However, after the encounter ends, the minion decays completely, and is unable to be revived by necromancy. Once per two worlds.
Level 2: An Abomination can now last until the end of the next encounter.
Level 3: An Abomination can last for three encounters before decaying.
 


Equipment:
Black Stick of Death: Freya’s large, special staff, which is… Not that special, only being made from black wood and being about as long as Freya is tall. However, the top does open up a bit, revealing a small glass bowl fused into the wood that Freya uses for certain spells. When equipped, Freya gains +3 Essence when using Necromancy.
Level 2: As it turns out, Freya has molded little rat skeletons into the bottom of her staff, which can be used to let the staff follow Freya while keeping her hands full. She generally doesn’t show this off to much people, but it is something. The Black Stick of Death does not take up an action slot to use.
Level 3: The Staff has begun to store the life energy from those that die around Freya, creating purple roses that sprout from the staff every encounter, equal to the number of people that die. These roses have many crafting uses, though they vary depending on the life energy stored within them.
Level 4: By using a lung, bladder, and a portal (don't ask how she got the lung and bladder), Freya can now store 1-10 Gallons of blood in a small pocket dimension and use it for Blood Rituals.
Level 5: Soul Roses: Gains [SYN] Temporary HP, that can only be refilled at the cost of 3 Soul Roses (so essentially you get 3 less each combat if you lose all of the temp HP)

Healing Potion: A rather sweet tasting potion of grey color, stuck inside one of Freya’s vials. Heals 30 hp. Can only be used once.
 
Soul Amulet: A small, black gemstone inside an amulet, that is on a chain that wraps around her neck. +1 Syn until Resurrection is used, which causes this item to be destroyed instantly.

Black Rosewater(3/3): A "perfume" made by Freya from multiple Soul Roses and a femur. It's scent causes living things to grow weaker, and sooths the rage of the dead. Can be used to reduce damage by 2d4 if dealt by a living being, or use it to boost damage for 2d4 to a given undead. Has 3 charges.


Tricks
(Trick) Bloodstained Air: The user animates organic matter on allied weapons.  Weapons which have been used this combat to deal damage receive +1 Damage for the remainder of combat.  This does not stack.

(Trick) Spirit Release:  This action can free souls from bindings, imprisonment, and other conditions imposed by others.  Current maximum speed:  1 soul per round.  The soul prison or targeted soul must be touched, and only one target can be touched per round.  An object imprisoning multiple souls counts as a single target.

(Trick) Spirit Walk: Freya can exit her body and walk around without it, becoming invisible and intangible to non-soul objects and beings.  However, she cannot interact with the physical world in this state.  Should Freya spend more than 5 minutes per hour outside her body, her body might start to degrade.  Freya can also equip this action as a passive, granting her the ability to affect spirits as though they were physical beings with her actions.

(Trick) Turn Undead: Freya fires a cone-shaped burst of positive energy from a symbol important to her that causes target undead being, and the 1d6 undead closest to the initial target in the initiative order, to flee in terror for one round, taking no actions except to run away, or if that is impossible to cower in place.  This action's effects do not discriminate between friend and foe.  This action can cause undead that don't have minds to feel fear, but can be resisted by targets whose essence is at least 10 higher than Freya's


Reserve:
A small knife that Freya carries around for Necromancy involving blood.
A rather plain journal that has clearly seen a lot of rough travels. Slightly burned, and very large.
About 3 small glass vials put onto the "belt" on her waist.
A small bag on the back portion of her belt.
Smooth piece of white fabric with a strange, black ink sign on it that is wrapped around her shoulder.
3 Death Roses

Spoiler: Arminius (click to show/hide)

Name: Arminius Mythriltongue
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: This gentleman reminds you of a cobra waiting to strike. He has narrow eyes the color of turquoises. His fine, wavy, cherry red hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a crown. He is very tall and has a broad-shouldered build. His skin is cream-colored. He has nearly-nonexistent eyebrows. His wardrobe is utilitarian and professional, with a lot of orange. Around his neck he wears a necklace in the form of a silver sun. When using his soul manipulation powers, his body lights up with a combination of pink runes in some flowery script, a hard and angular writing, a familiar but still unrecognizable alphabet, and amended by notes in plain English that looks almost like something a programmer would do.

Spoiler: Aquila (click to show/hide)

Name: Aquila Aurelianus
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:  A man with tanned skin from working in the sun. Initially just farming, then prison labor, and finally training to fight for his country. (Well, until he strangled his guard and joined the vikings. Still, it’s technically his country.) He has a short beard of black hair, which is reflected in the short hair on his head. Should he be without his armor for some reason, his chest is covered in a tattoo of a golden eagle. His body overall is quite fit, although it’s also marred by scars in many places. The most prominent scar in a rather nasty looking one going diagonally down his face covering his eye which he covers with a leather patch and fills with a golden eye, made from stolen bits. All things considered it’s not terrifying to look at, but it does look evil.
Personality: Aquila is an honorbound man, rarely entering a one on one fight unless his assistance is necessary. He loves tending to animals and has a kitten from the Samurai’s swamps. He named it Nyx.

Perks: Spirit of the Blood Eagle: Damage generated by the user's abilities is converted to THP, this pool is only used when attacked by enemies.

Target lock: Grants the move “Dueling Target”


 Advanced Autobrewery Syndrome: Being far more fun while drunk, the user gains morale bonuses to checks after consuming any edible food item, however, one encounter after that, their health is obscured due to drunkenness.

  Current Bonus: +2,  Health obscured next encounter.
 
 
Actions: Slots 7
-Actives
(Perk Backed) Dueling Target: Marks an enemy. That enemy takes 1.5x more damage from Aquila and deals half damage to him. Can only affect one target. Free action.
Block: Halves all damage taken, but can’t attack at all.

    L2 Get behind me!: An ally can choose to be affected by block, losing their ability to attack but having damage to them halved.

Groin attack: Knocks the air out of an enemy. Deals 1d6 damage and if the target fails a STR v CON check they're action locked for two turns.
Weapon toss: Aquila throws his weapon at an enemy, making an attack with it and equipping it to the enemy, while allowing Aquila to equip a weapon from his reserve.

Remember the basics of CQC: Aquila stops worrying about little things like getting hit, dealing and taking doubled damage from single target attacks. He can end the rage at will, causing him to deal 25% less damage for the rest of combat.
 
-Passives

Combo (Trick): Once per two rounds, Aquila can make a free attack with his mace.
 Kosi-chan's Happyfun Doublethink Portable Schoolhouse of Wizard Booms 0/20 (Level 1, Trick, Passive):  "Ehehehe...  You're so cute, Aquila-kun!  i WaNt To WaTcH yOu BrEak!  But then you wouldn't be so cute anymore.  I guess I'll have to teach you to read instead!"  If Aquila takes this action into battle, he can declare that he's inscribed one of his weapons with Kosi-Chan's Explosive Runes.  The first time an inscribed weapon is used to attack in an encounter, it hits a second random, literate enemy in the encounter with an explosion that does as much damage as the weapon would have.  When 20 people have been damaged in this way, all the practice writing Kosi-Chan's Explosive Runes lets Aquila become literate in a language he speaks.
Energy Rising: Every time the user is hit by ANY magic ability, they take 2 damage, and deal 1 extra damage.

Rhythm of war: Aquila may use normal combat actions when dancing to similar, but groovified effect.
-Trumps
Revenge:  Aquila has a meter with points equal to his Health. Every time he takes damage without countering he gains points equal to damage taken/dealt. When the meter is full he gains temporary hitpoints equal to his maximum health and his damage is increased by 1.5x for three turns. Can only trigger once a fight.
 
 
Equipment:
 Trusty Flail: A piece of metal on a chain attached to a handle. 2d6+Str damage.

Captain Bullseye's sword: An old  sword from a now dead XCOM Ranger. The sword is in surprisingly well kept condition, and will probably be a lot better in Aquila's hand from now on. Deals 2d6+Dex damage.
 Imhotep's Shield - This probably magical item gleams with a faint, inner light.  Provides a +[str/2] bonus to resistance while equipped. +2 res when Fighting against invaders from a faraway place, defending newfound allies, defending friends who are not fighting alongside the user, protecting the current world from destruction.
Modern Crusade Armor: A suit of armor made from modern materials, and most importantlyit fits his asthetic. +3 RES, doubled against bullets.

+1 Intermittent Vorpal Katana of Swiftness (Level 2, gear):  This magic sword was created by shoddy gnomish contractors to be sold as a genuine Nipponese +3 Vorpal Katana and upgraded with Precursor technology by Law.  It deals 2d6 + strength + 1 damage, and when you attack with it roll 1d20, or 2d20 if this is the first time you've attacked with it in an encounter.  If a 20 is rolled on the d20, the attack deals pure damage.  If a 1 is rolled on the d20, the attack deals no damage

 Name: Flora

Age: Flora is a 25 year old plant whose host is 35

Gender: Female

Sex: Hermaphroditic

Race: Cactree

Appearance: Cactrees can look like humans from a distance, but are definitely not humans. Each Cactree is a plant or group of plants that grow on and take control of the first animal it comes in contact with. For Flora, this happened to be a human who got lost in the Moro Desert. After growing in the shape of the host, Cactrees begin growing bark where spines are not present. When Cactrees are mature, which takes a long time due to living in a desert, a flower will grow on its highest point, in this case, on top of the host’s head. However, Flora is too young to begin blooming, and so has leaves there instead.

Personality: Interested in exploring new areas and learning about other plants. She heard about the monsters and hopes to help various worlds last. Tends to be curious about various things, much like her host.
