With a low DEF character it might become a little noticable halfway through the fight, perhaps even near the end, depending on writing, with high defense characters it might never effect them at all.

The time it takes to come into effect isn't a drawback. It's simply a weakness in the base effect. This is essentially a passive move, and those aren't really a thing in the OV. So, you'll have to rework this. There needs to be an actual drawback of some sort for the effects you want.

The only passive moves I can name are Ebony's Immortal Flames and Enel's lightning thing - both of them are identical though. They do weak damage to anyone who touches them - which is more 'a bit painful' than actually damaging. They're allowed only because they're weaker effects close to fodder that are hard to actually use.

Hisoka's weapon of choice is a set of ordinary French playing cards, which he uses in combat to lethal effects by wielding or throwing them in conjunction with his Shu. The cards have white borders, with a checkered pattern composed by small, light and dark fuchsia squares.

With the aid of Shu, Hisoka can turn his cards into mortal edge weapons or projectiles. He employs them by targeting his opponent's vital spots, generally the throat, but also to incapacitate them by severing their tendons. He can throw them with deadly accuracy and speed, potentially reaching a maximum of ninety miles an hour, consistent with a professionally thrown fastball. Thrown cards begin to lose speed after ten meters, but maintain a straight trajectory until thirty meters, after which they are no longer able to sustain enough speed, and fall. Hisoka tends to incorporate his cards in surprise attacks with Bungee Gum. (Requires: Physical Strength and Ranged Proficiency) (Cost: 600 OM)

Hatsu Ability
Bungee Gum
(Elastic Love)

Hisoka's main ability allows him to make his aura sticky and elastic. Its extreme durability, flexibility and adhesive properties make it an exceptionally versatile ability with several offensive, defensive, and supplementary applications. He can activate it from his fingers, hands, and feet. He can attach it both through physical contact and remotely, by extending it towards the target, which can make it very difficult to avoid. He can give it the command to contract at will, and it snaps back with greater force the more it is stretched. It is extremely resilient, allowing it to absorb the kinetic energy and stretch before returning that energy in the direction of its sender, making it an effective defense against projectiles, and can be shaped to any desired length, though it loses more resilience the further it is extended from the body.  

Offensively, Bungee Gum can be used to pull the opponent towards Hisoka, or to create flail-like weapons. He can also separate it from his body - most commonly to attach projectiles to his opponent, such as his Shu-enhanced cards, while concealing it with In. The combination of the latter technique and Bungee Gum allows Hisoka to lay multi-layered traps that spring all at once.

Bungee Gum also has a wide range of auxiliary applications. Hisoka can attach it to a solid surface to retreat at extreme speed when the need arises. By using it on his feet, he can adhere to the ground or run on walls. It is also useful for sticking objects in place for traps, or to keep hold of them, even after throwing them. By covering a wound with it, he can instantly stop hemorrhages. (Requires Elasticity, Basic Regeneration, Ranged Proficiency, Physical Proficiency, Homing Proficiency, Remote Control Proficiency) (Cost: 1200 OM)

Hatsu Ability
Texture Surprise
(Flimsy Lies)

By passing his hand over an object, Hisoka can apply his aura to any smooth, flat surface, such as paper or cloth, and manifest imagery on it to change its appearance and texture for deception. He can replicate over one thousand different textures. He has tricked Nen users of the Spiders' caliber with this ability, with none of them realizing he had used it, either by sight or by touch. It can also be applied to pure aura, such as Hisoka's Bungee Gum, to alter his own appearance, and can affect a maximum of a few meters squared of material per application.

Since no aura is detectable once Texture Surprise is active, its effects are also visible to individuals unable to use Nen. Furthermore, entities possessed of Enhanced Senses are able to discern a certain 'fakeness' to things coated with Texture Surprise. (Cost: 300 OM)

I think these changes to Haste should fix most/some issues people have. This makes it so Viola kinda sorta has to spend SP, without this actually being a super utility. I also added a bunch of clarifications on exactly what happens twice as fast (which is basically everything). It might look basically the same, but I've essentially doubled the fatigue cost and forced Viola to spend SP. While this isn't a super utility, it has to be used in conjunction with a specific one.

Summary of benefits/drawbacks of Haste:
[spoiler]
Benefits:
>Target moves, acts, thinks, and charges stuff at double speed for 15 seconds.
>Mechanical attributes of their weapons are twice as fast, so their gun can unload all its bullets in half the time.
>To them everything else is moving in slow motion (half speed) and they're the normal one.
>Debuffs cast directly on them (and not a lingering effect that applies to everyone who remains in the area) last half as long.
>Any bullets/spells they fire, explosions they cause, or weapons they throw move twice as fast. This applies to all their actions, so bullets from stolen guns and thrown rocks will also 
>They jump and fall twice as fast - every movement is double speed.

Drawbacks:
>5 second charge time (complete focus)
>Viola and the target have to be inside the effects of Viola's Infinity Mend super utility (halves fatigue for all allies within a 60m diameter sphere for 1 round)
>Viola can't do anything while this is active (including continue to spend energy on any moves, regardless of if they require focus)
>Person under the effects of haste suffers double fatigue for every action, the halved fatigue is already accounted for with this number. 
>This works out as quadruple fatigue since they're doing twice as much.
>Buffs cast directly on them (and not a lingering effect that applies to everyone who remains in the area) last half as long.
>The duration of lingering moves the target uses are halved (so if they have a move that sets their sword on fire for 5 seconds, to others it will only look like 2.5 seconds), this includes something used on an opponent.
>A constantly channelled move based on fatigue (such as them having to keep spending energy to keep their sword on fire) may only last a quarter as long (it will look half as long to them and a quarter as long to an outsider) due to the double fatigue of actions within haste.

General:
>They're not twice as strong, if they couldn't normally lift a rock, they can't now.
>A constantly channelled spell cast on them will act as usual. So if someone freezes them in ice and needs to keep focus to stop them breaking free, it will last the usual time. (Whereas a fire and forget freeze spell will last half as long).
>Super moves used on the target or by the target are unaffected by haste (however, haste may still impact the execution time of the target's super moves).[/spoiler]
Haste (300) Requires: Time Manipulation, Buff, Ranged, Homing
[spoiler]
Viola focuses for 5 seconds, where she can has to focus completely, stand still, and cannot defend herself. Afterwards, she can choose to delay the casting of this spell for up to 3 seconds (with similar concentration requirements to charging it - however if she wishes to use this time to cast Infinity Mend she can). Viola can only cast this move while within the effects of her Infinity Mend super utility (or an identical super utility she and the target benefit from), as the energy requirements are too great for usual use. Her target must also be within the effects of that spell, and remain there to continue to benefit from haste. All fatigue requirements mentioned in this move description already account for Infinity Mend (so the actual values would be double). This spell is moderately tiring for Viola to cast.

Once cast, the flow of time around the target is sped up for the following 15 seconds (real time). This allows them to move, think, and act twice as fast as well as charge moves and powers twice as quickly as normal. All normal time constraints are halved, including execution times (so burst movement would seem like 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off to an outsider) as well as lingering durations (so their 5-second long burning debuff would only last for 2.5 seconds). This also applies to other lingering moves used on them (so a 5-second stun spell would only stun them for 2.5 seconds), but not channelled effects (so if someone freezes them in ice and needs to keep focus to stop them breaking free, it will last the usual time). Furthermore, similarly to their melee attacks being twice as fast, their thrown weapons and bullets they fire will travel at double speed. Their explosions will detonate twice as fast. Despite any speed or timing changes, all attacks done by the target still deal the usual damage. This applies to incidental weapons as well (stolen guns, thrown rocks, etc.), but the haste effect on incidental weapons and ammo runs out after 3 seconds of leaving the target's body or the moment anyone else touches them.

However, this move saps energy from those under its effects. In addition to passively suffering 30 seconds of fatigue over 15 seconds (due to them acting and experiencing twice as much), the fatigue costs of all their moves, powers, and actions (even walking and running) are actively doubled, essentially quadrupling the energy they need to spend. While under this moves effects, the target perceives everything else as moving at half speed. Furthermore, while this move is active, Viola has to stand still and divert her complete focus towards maintaining it. Due to this, Viola cannot even expend energy towards anything (such as a lingering buff she cast beforehand, or a non-concentration based effect). If she loses concentration, this spell ends early. Both Viola and her target can choose to end this move at any time.

Notably, the speed boost gained can be stacked with burst movement or super speed. However, whenever someone uses one of these powers while under the effects of haste, Viola suffers twice the fatigue those actions would take under normal conditions. Super moves may be executed twice as fast by the target, but no super moves used on or by the target see any change in effectiveness (so a super utility would last just as long as usual and do the exact same thing, a super attack would do just as much damage, etc.). Lastly, while under the effects of haste, the target perceives everything besides their own actions to be in slow motion. To them, everything else is moving at half speed. As every movement they make is twice as fast, this also applies to jumps and falls.[/spoiler]
(The utility Viola needs to use with this - which is already approved here: http://omniverse-rpg.com/showthread.php?tid=9019&pid=130916#pid130916)
T1SU - Infinity Mend (600) Requires: Buff, Ranged, Time Manipulation 
[spoiler]
Viola closes her eyes for one second. Once she opens them, a blue-violet sweeping wave of magic flows outwards in a 30m radius sphere, forcing the most desirable future upon the land. Even deserts or steam-punk workshops will find nature quickly taking a hold. Grass, shrubbery and flowers all grow, bending around any obstructions rather than damaging them. It's as if many years pass for the terrain at once, but rather than it being left to its own devices, it's more akin to the whole area being gardened for years. As a result, changes are more aesthetic than chaotic, and Viola has a fair control over the rough décor - although any new plants won't be noticeably disruptive to anyone's movements. But, the most notable effect of this spell is how Viola's time magic permeates the air, giving a lush and rejuvenating feel to her and all of her allies so long as they remain in the area. This magic lasts for one round (~10 minutes out of combat), and all moves, powers, abilities, and actions cost half as much stamina/mana/etc. as they would normally (sp costs remain the same). Even simple actions such as walking are easier. After the magic disperses, the changes to the landscape remain. While most of the changes happen at the start, new flowers and plants bloom and grow throughout this move, just not as fast (a rose bush might slowly grow over a few minutes, for example). Viola can choose to continue spending SP to sustain this effect (1sp = 1 extra round).

By pulling out a remote, and waiting 5 seconds, a cannon can come down from the ceiling and lock onto a single opponent. This shoots a beam of energy that travels at the speed of an arrow. The beam of energy is admittedly low powered, and is a mechanism that Warren has yet to make portable. Requires Warren's full concentration, so he cannot move, or attack or dodge when this is in use.[/spoiler]

This can either be automatically activated should someone intrude in Castle Zimmer without permission from Warren Zimmer, or activated should he be in the castle and encounter the intruder. Like the Ceiling Turrets these travel at the speed of an arrow each, but about 15 missiles are fired at a time from the wall turrets. While they may do a low amount of damage individually, the damage the missiles are truly capable of is fairly high if all of them hit their target. Takes about 7 seconds to activate. Requires Warren's full concentration, so he cannot move, or attack or dodge when this is in use.[/spoiler]

Quote:Innocence corruption ( debuff, melee, ranged ) (300 OM) : The innocence recognises Kanda’s foes and attacks them from inside. With every attack Kanda hits against the target it leaves a small trail of innocence. At first it has little to no effect, however the longer the fight continues, the more the enemy comes in touch with the innocence, the target starts to feel it's effect. Vision will slowly become blurry and movements will become more and more sluggish as the fight continues at its peak the target will be unable to block or parry at their normal rate. The higher the target’s DEF, the longer it takes for the corruption to take over. If a target is not being hit with an attack every 10 seconds the effects start to wear off. This does not happen instantly either, like the build up it takes time for the traces for corruption to disappear. Corruption does not damage or kill.

Alternatively by pushing a button on his NFL-R.  he can cause the Ceiling Turrets to appear anywhere but still needs to spend the 5 seconds to create then. While the beams may be weak they can keep firing as much as Warren wants them to. They shoot about two beams per seconds.

Wall Missiles (300 OM,  Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack, Ranged Materialize, Remote Control):

This can also be used outside Warren's base, by pushing a button on a remote. Once he pushes a button on the remote and goes through the usual 7 second activation process, the turrets that shoot the wall missiles will appear and open fire performing their usual on an opponent. To fire more missiles, Warren needs to reactivate the turrets (which takes 7 seconds and is the same as activating them the first time).



Base Cameras (Fodder Move - I think): 

Basically allows Warren to spy on his base when he is not in it, and record everything for his viewing later, including if someone snatches an Artefact or anything along those lines because it's a pain for him to have to deal with later.

(05-09-2018, 07:44 AM)Belle Wrote: Ten - Once a person has opened their aura nodes, they must learn to keep their aura from leaking away from their body. Ten (纏, Envelop; Shroud) is the process of keeping the nodes open, but also having aura flow through and around the body rather than away from it. Once maintained, it creates a shroud around the user that feels similar to standing in lukewarm, viscous fluid. Ten maintains youthful vigor and reduces one's aging, since the energy powering the body no longer leaks away; one can keep the body from breaking down and deter the aging process. Ten is the most basic defense against emotional Nen attacks, and it also offers limited protection against physical attacks, but hardly any when said attacks are enhanced with aura. Through frequent meditation and practice, one can improve the quality of their Ten and even maintain it in their sleep. Once it has been learned, it will never be forgotten, much like cycling and swimming. Despite being the most elementary technique of all, Ten is also one of the most important, as the more polished it is, the more precise one's control over their aura. (Cost: 0. This is an explanation for Hisoka's baseline durability and strength.)

Zetsu (AKA Suppression) - While Ten allows a user to keep aura from leaking away from their body, Zetsu (絶, Suppress; Null) stops the flow of aura from their body altogether. By closing all of their aura nodes, the user is able to halt all outflow of their aura like water from a valve, making their presence much harder or even impossible to sense. This technique is useful when tracking another person, as it will make it easier to follow them, preventing other users of Nen from noticing their pursuer. (Cost: 1000 OM. This is a flavored version of Suppression.)

Ren (Tier 2 Powerup) - Ren (練, Refine; Enhance) focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively. This amplifies the user's physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura. One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal.

If Ten is considered purely defensive, Ren can be regarded as its offensive counterpart, although it also grants the user vastly enhanced defensive abilities.

Attack: +3
Defense: +2

Hatsu - Hatsu (発, Release; Act) is one's personal expression of Nen. Its qualities are influenced by but not restricted to the Nen user's natural Nen category, one of the six available, which is decided by nature and nurture. Hatsu is used to project one's aura to carry out a certain function, creating a special and unique paranormal ability that is colloquially called "Nen ability", "Hatsu ability", or simply "Hatsu". (Cost: 0 OM. Flavor for explaining how Nen Hatsu abilities work.)

Advanced Nen Techniques

In - In (隱, Conceal) - is an advanced form of Zetsu used to render one's aura imperceptible, effectively concealing it. Unlike Zetsu, however, In does not stop the user's aura flow; instead, it hides it, making it difficult to perceive with any of the five senses. This is even true of those affected by Enhanced Senses, although in this case the effectiveness diminishes the closer an observer is to Hisoka's Technique stat. When matching or exceeding Hisoka's Technique, a nen object concealed by In becomes visible. Because of its abilities, this technique is perfect for launching sneak attacks or laying traps, as it can conceal not only the user's presence, but also Nen constructs generated with Emission, Transmutation, or Conjuration abilities.

Special: In can be countered completely by Gyo, or any similar move that boosts Enhanced Senses, regardless of Tech disparity. (Requires: Stealth, Suppression) (Cost: 300 OM)

En - En (圓, Circle) (Enhanced Senses) is an advanced application of Ten and Ren. In Ren, aura usually envelops only a small amount of space around the user's body. En is when one extends their Ren so that their aura extends further than normal, then uses Ten at the same time to contain and give shape to that aura, normally a sphere. Someone using En can feel the shape and movement of anything within the area covered by their aura, with the degree of awareness and finesse depending on their level of skill. Nen users can be told apart from regular people due to their stronger reactionto the En user's aura. Zetsu (Suppression) can suppress a Nen user's, or Prime's, response, making their position difficult to pinpoint.

As someone who has mastered En, Hisoka is capable of extending his coverage to a circle with a 100 meter radius. (Cost: 2000 OM. This is a flavored version of Enhanced Senses: Master)

Shu - Shu (周, Enfold) is an advanced application of Ten. Shu allows a user of Nen to enshroud an object with their aura, allowing them to use that object as an extension of their own body. For example, one could use Shu to extend their Ten around a weapon, which would strengthen and protect it. Hisoka uses this technique to sheathe his playing cards in his Nen, turning them into deadly weapons. (See Weapon: Playing Cards) (Flavor for explaining how Hisoka uses Nen to enhance objects like his playing cards. May need an OM cost if he intends to use Shu on improvised weapons, like picking up a chair and slamming someone with it.)

You realise bullets travel a lot faster than thrown rocks, right? In many cases, you would have to be throwing a rock before the bullet is even fired. I'm fine with you throwing a rock or something like that to bounce away a thrown grenade or another rock, or a magical spell that doesn't travel really fast, but even with 5 TEC, doing it against a bullet is just kinda silly. You would need a stupidly high SPD stat to be able to flick your arm fast enough for the rock to really leave your hand before a bullet hits you. Heck, you would have to be predicting where they're going to shoot before they've even finished aiming in some situations (which would naturally be impossible since they'd just aim somewhere where the rock isn't).

If you want to pull off something crazy like this, you'd be better off getting the foresight power and a move that lets you try to shoot enemy bullets or ranged attacks as the fire them. Or make your thrown rock move only work for enemy attacks that you'd reasonably be able to react to.
