Can I access Diablo's dreamscape as part of my Astral Realm Void Quest? I don't plan to meet him, just pass through his astral landscape.

You won't encounter Diablo, but you definitely may pass through his corrupted dreamscape. Beware, adventurer: where the dreams of the Prime Evil reside is no place for the faint of heart. Expect treacherous mindpaths fraught with violence, nightmares, and new or unusual dangers at every turn. Tread softly.

Character Name: Shotgun Steve

Character Source: Original

[spoiler]Character History:
Shotgun Steve's real name is actually Reginald Bennerton. He doesn't particularly like this name, so he changed it to something he thought sounded cooler... unfortunately, he didn't think of changing it quickly enough; had he done so from the moment he arrived in the Omniverse no one would have even suspected anything, but now many of his allies are aware of his real name, much to his chagrin.

Before coming here he lived on an alternate universe Earth, in which magic other supernatural phenomena were commonplace. As a normal human, though, Reginald was condemned to a life of mediocrity, whilst others went and fought glorious battles and became renowned as great heroes or terrible villains. Good or bad, he hated them all equally.

Ultimately, though, he decided to take his revenge upon them and so found himself a gang of like-minded fellows, bought up as much weaponry as he could, and then went out hunting. For the first couple weeks, things went well; they killed a few weak heroes and lesser villains, and managed to evade capture by their city's police force... but then their luck ran out, and purely by chance, as they walked down a street one day, they bumped into a seemingly ordinary businessman, causing him to drop his phone. He turned out to be an incognito supervillain, who took offence at this and decided to brutally murder them all. Doing so took him just over three seconds.

For some reason, Omni considered Reginald worthy of summoning to the Omniverse. As soon as someone told him the difference between Primes and Secondaries he immediately realised how lucky he had gotten... and promptly forgot all about the normal humans he had claimed to be standing up for back in his own world; becoming a Prime supremacist instead. He now views Secondaries as worthy of being nothing more than slaves... preferably his slaves, if at all possible.

He joined a gang called the Northside Wolfpack not long after showing up in the Omniverse and has been living on Tier Five ever since. He quickly rose through the ranks, yet wasn't at all satisfied, and made no secret of his desire to take his place at its head one day.

His path to realising that ambition hit a slight snag when his base was overrun by stormtroopers and the Prime accompanying them whilst he was out doing something else, and then ran into an even more serious issue when he got himself killed fighting them. He now seeks revenge, more than anything.

To this end he acquired a new, support-based, skill, after encountering a Prime named Arin Lishtar in the Nexus and deciding to combine their power in order to combat his nemesis...

Physical Description:
Steve has tanned Caucasian skin, is fairly tall and has a lean build. He's 52-years-old, and has grey hair which reaches just past his shoulders and is left to hang loose behind his back, as well as a wispy, bedraggled & short grey beard on his chin. His eyes are blue. He most often wears an unbuttoned grey leather waistcoat and a pair of ragged, old, loose white jeans, as well as black, steel-toed boots.

Level: 4

Stats:
ATK: 5
DEF: 3
SPD: 2
TEC: 3

Upgrades:
Stat Upgrade I (1000)
Stat Upgrade II (2000)
Stat Upgrade III (4000)

Proficiencies:
Physical Strength (1000)
Ranged Proficiency (1000)
Area Attack Proficiency (600)
Buff Proficiency (400)

Powers: N/A

Moves:
Pile a' Guns (900) – Approval
(Ranged Proficiency, Physical Strength, Area Attack Proficiency)
Steve has a huge pile of double-barrel shotguns and ammo for them carted around by his Secondaries. For the purposes of this move, that means he'll never run out of shells and if a gun breaks he can just replace it immediately. Reloading (or replacing) a gun takes two seconds.
Steve is strong enough that he can handle the recoil of a shotgun one-handed, and as such, he can dual-wield these weapons if he wants to, though doing so imposes a significant penalty to his accuracy.
In all other respects these are normal double-barrel shotguns. All his shotguns are 12 gauge and 48” long. They can be loaded with either slug or shot rounds, and can also be used as crude clubs in melee combat if necessary. The two ammo-types are equally strong, but the slugs have greater range whilst the shot has a small AoE: the effective range of slug rounds is 90m and their speed is 540m/s, whilst shot can only go up to 45m and 340m/s. The maximum spread of shot rounds is 50".

Because this move lacks much of a drawback, they don't deal quite as much damage as one would expect from a character with as high an ATK as Steve.


Electron Overcharge: Enhancement [Tier 2 Super Utility] (800) – Approval
(Buff Proficiency)
Steve Focuses on one of his hands for one second, during which time he cannot attack or move faster than walking pace. Over the course of this second, a blue-white luminescence slowly grows around the affected hand, and electricity begins to crackle around it as well. After being charged, he then calls out the word “Enhance!” and touches an ally, and the light vanishes with a noise like a clap of thunder. The ally tenses up for a moment as the electricity briefly courses through their body, before returning to normal.

After activation, this Buff has no lingering aesthetic effects. It slightly increases the strength of the target for one round as their body is driven beyond its normal limits, but its primary effect is to boost their combat skill by shocking their brain into working better. The idea is based on electroconvulsive therapy, but… just… don’t ask how it actually makes any sort of sense. It’s Omniphysics.

Stat Bonuses:
ATK +1
DEF +0
SPD +0
TEC +3


Spent OM: 11700/16000

Why does this character have to be a prime?
Partly because it would be nice to have a recurring villain for my character to face, and partly because I've already mentioned once that he's a Prime and would rather not have to go and edit that out. =P

What role do they play in your story?
Recurring Villain.

Are they an A, B, or C-Lister?

Quote: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
Speed: +3
Technique: +2

Quote:Weapon: Playing Cards.

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)

Quote: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)

Quote: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)

Quote: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 Nen abilities with any of the five senses. This is even true for those possessing Enhanced Senses - although in this case the effectiveness of In diminishes the closer an observer is to Hisoka's Technique stat. When an Enhanced Senses user matches or exceeds Hisoka's Technique, a nen object concealed by In becomes visible.

Because of its abilities, this technique is used for launching sneak attacks or laying traps, as it can conceal Nen constructs generated with Emission, Transmutation, or Conjuration abilities. In Hisoka's case, he uses In to conceal his Bungee Gum, attaching it to an unaware opponent. Despite its usefulness, however, In is not without cost: the focus required to both cloak and use a Nen ability at the same time is more physically and mentally draining than it would be to simply use the ability on its own.

List of Hisoka's abilities that can be masked by In:
- Bungee Gum

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

Quote: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 primarily to sheathe his playing cards in his Nen, turning them into deadly weapons (see Weapon: Playing Cards for Hisoka's application of this technique in that case), but it can also be used to create improvised weapons from the environment if the need arises, without having to worry about their inherent durability. This technique allows one to, for example, block a standard sword attack with a plastic spoon, or send weaker fighters flying with a strike from a stick.

The size of items that can be enhanced is, as a rule, limited by the Nen user's proficiency, with Hisoka's ability beginning at the low end of the scale - everyday objects like coins and utensils - and reaching all the way up to two-handed weapons like polearms. The time it takes to coat an object is dependent on its size, as well, with a mere instant required for small objects, and several seconds for large, heavy blades. While larger objects than that are theoretically possible, without being a specialized Nen-type (such as an Emitter) and having training, it is regarded by Hisoka as a waste of time. Even if you could mold your aura around such large objects - like an entire table, for example - it would be extremely awkward to wield as a weapon. And if your intent was to use such an object as a shield, the Nen and time expended could have been easily used to remove yourself from the threat in the first place.

These objects can also be thrown, and retain their coating for several seconds after being removed from contact with Hisoka's aura. (Cost: 1800)
