modmaster | BLESSINGS (POWERS/ABILITIES) SUBMISSION

Good day!! I'll explain the process of how choosing powers will go, it's really easy, I promise.

• Make sure to read the blessings page. It explains the general principles on how this worlds' "magic" applies.

• In this post, make a top level for your character! You can submit your abilities underneath that toplevel. You do not need to make it overcomplicated if you don't want to! If you want fireballs, just putting down "fireballs" is fine. In fact, PLEASE don't make it overly complicated. Adding limitations and details can be great, especially to give extra flavor, ut if I must sit through eight paragraphs for one ability detailing the formulaic speed of light, I might perish (and more than likely simplify it for you)!

• You can choose up to three abilities!

• You do not have to choose them all right now nor do you need to have them immediately by game start. If you want to drop just one ability now and come back later with the others, that's fine. Characters can develop powers over time!

• Once you comment, I will reply back to your comment, making any specific changes necessary, usually to have them thematically connected whether its to your character's family or to help tie them together so they feel connected to the character.

• I'll also do any balancing if necessary. If it's way too strong, I'll help you scale it down or if it's too simple, I'll add a little more to give you more flavor. Powers should be level 30 on a level 100 scale but you can have stronger powers if you add limitations to it. "Can teleport anywhere but only once a day" or "has supergenius level knowledge but only in regards to cacti".

Announcement as of Sept. 24th: We do ask from this point on, any blessings submitted should be around 200-250 words per blessing, If it gets much larger than that, we reserve the right to reject them and ask to shorten it, SIMPLY PUT, IF IT GETS TOO BIG, WE GET SLOW CUZ WE OVERTHINK TOO MUCH, THIS IS TO HELP US STREAMLINE THE PROCESS A BIT. like obv there are some exceptions (like if you're indecisive between two types of limits or something and describing both) but an ability itself should remain about 2-3 paragraphs or so.

I am going to be honest, I do not have a degree in power and magic balancing. I will like make mistakes! If you find an ability way too limiting, you can come and make that case to me, and I can see if I can adjust it! Does one of your abilities never come up in play or you find it's one you don't find fun to play with? Feel free to come back to your toplevel and ask for an addendum, we can make it work.

The important part is I want people to have powers extend from their character as part of their personality/identity. It's not suppose to be about winning/losing/who is the strongest, etc, and hopefully by letting characters pick their own isntead of from a pre-selected list, it will help to do that!

And so with that siad, I am trusting people to be reasonable if these powers come into play at any time. By that, I mean, if you find yourself in a fight with a character, using powers, don't steamroll the other player without striking a conversation. Be considerate of the other person. Remember, it's important to go with the flow of the fight and see what feels right!

Your character does not need to win all of the time! Your character is not automatically better than anyone else 100% of the time. If you get into an ooc confrontation over who should win when it comes to powers, you must diceroll. I do not care if you have a five paragraph essay as to why your character should win, if the other rper is contesting that for whatever reason, make it fair and do a diceroll! Easy peasy! That said, diceroll is NOT a requirement all the time, it's fair to just see what happens! This is only a requirement if there is an ooc disagreement, if you ask me to settle it for you, I'm going to say "do a diceroll" first and go from there.

I GENUINELY DON'T THINK THIS WILL BE A HUGE ISSUE, my friends are chill and cool, but I am notating this just in case because we know sometimes things get crazy, emotions and excitement can get high, so this is the great neutralizer in those instances, ok? Ok.

Will this power I want be allowed?
COMMENT AND FIND OUT. Even if you feel its too insane, go ahead and comment, idc.

This power feels like it wouldn't go with this family.
THATS FINE, COMMENT AND FIND OUT. Even if I lack the brainpower to make it work, it's fine. Just like fashion and personalities, not everything has to be 1 to 1 with the family theme.

Can powers evolve over time?
SURE. It is not unreasonable to have a character's power being "vine whip" evolving into "thorny vine whip".

I just don't think I should bother putting the power in...
I HAVE BANNED ANXIETY, GO AHEAD AND COMMENT AND JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS, IT DOESN'T HURT TO AT LEAST TRY.

Okay, I'm done for now! Feel free to comment to this post ANYTIME YOU'RE READY and I'll reply (but please give me a few days ok).

Please see the first toplevel for a proper ~~dumb~~ example.

imma be honest, i typed that a month ago and I don't even know.

which is to say, we can just leave it as "intuit some blessings."

THANK YOU!!!! is the time limit somewhere around like, 15 min? 30 min?

oh shit, letting him actually keep a couple forms on hand at all is more than i intended, SO YES I'M COOL WITH ALL OF THIS TYVM ♥

THIS IS OK, mostly rule of "whatever makes the rp cool and fun" so if it's a little longer than that cuz it adds to the thread flavor, thats ok.

thank u based celi 🙏

HELLO if it is ok i would like to have this Blessing develop so he can actually use it as a proper healing Blessing (ish!) As per below:

- Still works by swapping wounds from people and onto himself, BUT allows him to then swap the wound off himself and to another person or object. If he puts a wound on an object it takes proportional damage (so glass could shatter, wood would score/splinter/gain holes/break, that sort of thing.)

- Requires him to be touching the person and what he wants to swap the damage to at the same time. If his concentration or contact is broken partway, it leads to zero healing for the original target AND him taking the injury as well.

- Usual ‘bigger injuries = more time’ clause, also uses his physical energy for the healing so he can’t try to do too many major ones in a row without conking out.

JUST TO MAKE SURE, so if he's transferring wound from himself to other object, he cannot just touch his own body and object, he has to be touching original person who got the wound and said object?

YEP he can’t just touch someone, then walk off with their injury, then transfer it off him later. It has to go person > him > object all at the same time.

Ok ok, I'd probably say the damage to the object should be a bit more than 1:1 with people damage, just because I feel like people damage should be worth more, but I'm not gonna be like hard policing like the area ratio or anything, just if a person gets a gash, maybe the object can still break etc, but I'll let you decide on flavor text.

The limit to energy aka not being able to do this for all 80 guests plus already having to transfer should be fine enough!!

COOLBEANS THEN IT WORKS OUT, if you wanna come back to this later, just let me know!!

Noted and thank you ♥!

Okay, okay, this is probably fine, as said earlier, there should be an area limit that's reasonable, and as noted, if she doesn't truly believe the situation isn't dire, it just won't work. If Ten points out anything else that needs adjusting I'll let you know, but for now it's okie dokie.

ten will beat the shit out of me irl if I do anything stupid, that is our true limiter

JUST NOTING THAT I'M USING THESE EXACT POWERS FOR ARANEA TOO

IN AU SHE IS A DOG GIRL. A golden retriever!!! So she is naturally 10% furry but she can go 100% furry. Just regular animal-changing abilities like others so maybe if she wants good hearing she can increase that etc

probably sometimes emotionally charged transformation into dog by getting over-excited

Can make snacks and drinks you'd have with snacks (tea, coffee, etc) appear to eat.

- She can only create something she's tasted before.
- It's delicious, but only fills her at like 25%.
- She can share it, but she can't stockpile it. The food expires/disappears in 24 hrs.

By focusing his gaze on a character, he can see their surface level desire(s) as cartoon thought bubbles. Requires player permission and is ONLY surface level stuff, such as a food they are currently craving as opposed to long-term lowkey constants such as someone whose goal in life is to bring down the entire government.

Edited 2025-03-09 18:41 (UTC)

Three times per day he can change someone's desire in a minor way - for example, he can make someone who is craving sweets instead crave vegetables. Once per day, he can change someone's desire in a major way, forfeiting all other uses of this Blessing for the day and giving himself a headache until he sleeps for at least an hour. Example of a major change: changing someone's desire to kill him into a desire to hug him. The degree of the desire doesn't change (someone who REALLY wants to kill him now REALLY wants to hug him, someone who mildly would like some candy could now mildly go for veggies) and it only lasts for four minutes in total. The character may return to desiring whatever they originally wanted once it wears off, whether they satisfied the desire while under the effects or not. Requires player permission.

Caster or target becomes average at a task or set of tasks for 2 hours. If they're already average at it there is no effect.
ex: If you're bad at cooking, can be okay at cooking for two hours.
ex2: You're really good at cooking, can become average at it for two hours.

Two targets can share sensation if they are touching. It can be caster-someone else or the caster can facilitate between two other parties.
ex: Bob stubs his toe but Sandy, who does not have a stubbed toe, can hold his hand and have her 'not-stubbed toe' feeling shared with him.

An item or thing can be duplicated perfectly, however it has to be covered in his blood. If it's something that has extraordinary traits those traits often cannot be transferred over unless it soaks in his 'living' blood* for, like, a Long Time.
* - specifically blood cycled by his heart so no like 'putting it in blood donation packs'
ex: Can copy his own liver perfectly.
ex 2: a coin that has weak magical powers has to be sewed up under his skin for 2 years or something before it can be copied and have similar magical powers.
