[badrshadow]

aesthetic﹒how does your magic manifest itself physically? how does it feel?

badr first summons the darkness somewhere within in their core. if they actually believed in souls, then perhaps they would say it arises from there. the darkness begins to spread throughout the entirety of their body, until it eventually begins seeping into the outside world. in order for badr to channel the darkness, they must first give themself over to it entirely. even when not actively using it, the darkness always remains dormant within them— awaiting its next opportunity to be used. when consumed by the shadow, they feel the most full that they’ve ever been. directly after the use of their abilities is when they feel the most empty. they’ve used the power so much over the years that it’s nearly impossible to detect when they’re in the process of using it. though— it’s most noticeable in the way the already dim light appears to leave their eyes.

mechanic ﹒how do you picture this to work ooc in game-play?

this is something badr can summon at will. there’s not necessarily a physical toll, but there’s always that lingering feeling that the darkness may one day consume badr completely. it either presents itself as a mental fog (essentially clouding their target’s thoughts) or a visual darkness (obstructing their target’s vision with darkness). what that would mean for them exactly is something they’re unaware of. besides, high risks were never the sort of thing badr shied away from. regarding chance, i think the potential always exists for badr to break focus, something that could potentially be determined by rolling.

features & limitations ﹒expand on what has already been written in the skeleton. for every positive feature, you must write a negative drawback.

current:

(+) can last an infinite amount of time

(+) can vary how strong the darkness is 

(-) can only be used on one person at a time

(-) must be focused on the power while using it 

additional:

(+) can become undetectable in darkness and shadows 

(-) can only be hidden for as long as the darkness is present

(-) how undetectable they are depends on the strength of the darkness

(+) can see in places with low light and even complete darkness

(-) becomes sensitive to abrupt flashes of light

(-) takes at least five minutes to readjust to seeing in regular light

(+) can adapt their circadian cycle for nighttime activity

(-) makes them nearly completely useless the following day 

past uses ﹒when have they used their power before?

they use it regularly when participating in grifts and scams, and their abilities have allowed them to become a spectacular thief.  it also comes in handy the times they’ve been hired to track someone down for intimidation purposes, or often something more. their darkness has never been something they’ve shied away from. from their initial encounter with it, they began embracing it as a part of themself.

future features ﹒there will be an opportunity later in the game to transform your character’s power. what ideas do you have for this? what would you not want to see. note, ideas here mayor may not be implemented (they may also be slightly modified).

PERSONAL VOID / badr is able to trap objects, or even people, in their own portable “void” of sorts. the drawback would some kind of time limit, and people could only be held for way shorter periods of time then objects. disrupting their concentration could also potentially free the person or object.

SHADOW MARIONETTE / some sort of shadow manipulation that would ultimately make  badr a puppeteer— so long as the person has a shadow to be manipulated. controlling their own darkness is one thing, but controlling someone else’s could be particularly draining.

DARKSIDE VIEW / badr being able to force targets into confronting their inner evil, either in a mental struggle or bring the victim's dark side into the world as a physical being. when a darkness is faced, it's arguably more powerful than the good half of the being. they’re basically a physical manifestation of the being's past wrong doing, or current doing. victims are either corrupted, driven insane, or outright killed by the sensation of this ability. limitations would be that a person has to have enough inner evil for the power to takes its effect, and it’s something some people can overcome if they possess a strong enough will power.

FAWN:

(+) People are more inclined to give you want you want.

(+) People's personalities do not drastically change under your influence. As such, your power is nearly undetectable.

(-) Fawning influence only works for three minutes. After those three minutes they don't feel the same sort of deference towards you.

(-) Not consistent, doesn't work as thoroughly on people you know well.

(-) immediately after your power wears off the person you have used it on feels a sense of restlessness.

aesthetic﹒how does your magic manifest itself physically? how does it feel?

The magic manifests itself from Law's fingertips electrifying through the rest of his body. It surges like a white flash of energy and pumps up the speed of his heart and the thrumming in his ears - he feels a wash of ecstasy that floods through his body, all major arteries and muscles working faster than ever before to compete with this influx of newfound power. ( Author's note: It's like having a nonstop fight or flight instinct with the rush on loop. )

mechanic ﹒how do you picture this to work ooc in game-play?

Mechanics wise, Law's power is very physical. I imagine him to access it like a light switch where he can mentally ramp up and turn on and off that energy when he wills it. Out of character wise, I would say the higher the roll = the higher the damage & the higher the speed. And vice versa, the lower the roll = the lower the speed and the lesser damage he does.

features & limitations ﹒expand on what has already been written in the skeleton. for every positive feature, you must write a negative drawback.

(+) Can run to incredible speeds /ie: 80-90 miles per hour with maximum capacity at 275m/ph. (-) Can slow down time for only yourself  (-) physically very weak and slow after using the power (-) time limit of 30 seconds from your perspective. (+) Speed speaking where he's able to convey info very quickly (-) People not understanding what the fuck he's saying (+) Can run on water ( - ) 30-60 seconds must be at max speed

past uses ﹒when have they used their power before?

He's used his powers frequently for scouting areas but also to cut down seconds on the clock. He can create massive damage depending on how fast he's zooming. He's used it on prior heists and even for personal needs depending on what he's aiming to look for and find.

future features ﹒there will be an opportunity later in the game to transform your character’s power. what ideas do you have for this? what would you not want to see. note, ideas here mayor may not be implemented (they may also be slightly modified).

1) Law's able to vibrate his atoms to move through solid objects (be it objects or flesh) however he requires immense concentration and he can not be injured at all to do this. There's a chance his atoms don't form back. 2) Law being able to travel at the speed of sound where time actually slows down for the people around him. Would inflict damage upon himself via muscle strain, temporary hearing loss, skin burn from the wind slapping him. 3) Being able to run around the earth and forcing it to go back in time ( approx: 2-3 minutes) . Would Be on the verge of literally dying or aging himself rapidly. 4) Running so fast that he's able to generate his own electricity.
