CHARACTER NAME:
Kaleigh Dactomb Nox

CHARACTER SOURCE:
Original

CHARACTER HISTORY:
[spoiler]
Warning
The following takes place in an earth-like reality not dissimilar to our own, on a planet conveniently called earth itself. In fact, there is almost no difference whatsoever to our earth; they are identical in every way except for those few details that are different.
Reader Discretion is advised.
[/spoiler]

Kaleigh’s earliest memory was waking up in the center of a rain soaked four-way intersection, clothed in tattered rags and unable to leave on her own. The only fact she knew was her name, it’s exact spelling burned into her mind. As time passed, she slowly learned details about who and what she was, her quirks and the rules of her life. She never aged, neither grew hungry nor thirsty, and though her physical body had its limits, she never tired. She had achieved immortality, and her memories had been the lesser of two costs for it. The second was the dark spirit that now resided within her. His name was Nox, but she called him The Black Dog.

She was not the first to bond with Nox; if she closed her eyes for too long, she would see visions of other people that had been in same situation as her. Each had housed the same spirit that was in her now: some for a short a time as a few days, others for hundreds of year. Each time, the spirit had inevitably left them behind to die and moved to the next host. It was the spirit’s power that granted everlasting life, and it gained its power in a macabre way.

Of the rules she now followed, the most important was to never sleep, never fall unconscious. Doing so released Nox from within her, allowing it to roam free. Those who met the gaze of its fiery eyes would be marked for death, doomed to die a gruesome death in exactly one year. Portions of whatever time they would have had left in the world was given to her, extending her cursed life. When she finally awoke, she would find herself caught in a crossroads, unable to leave without guidance.

As the years went by, she sought to atone for the lives she had unintentionally taken. Each place she visited, she did what little good she could before moving on. She deliberately avoided highly populated areas, taking whatever route was available to her and never staying in one place for too long. Superstition followed her wake, and even deaths that were not her fault were often laid at her feet.

As her borrowed years finally started to run out, she hid herself into the most remote areas she could find. As she wandered the lonely paths of the wilderness, her path suddenly took an unexpected turn. In a single blink, she went from a heavily wooded forest to a black void, and then she heard a voice.

Black Omen (requires Physical Strength) - 600 OM
Weapon Description
[spoiler]For beings of sufficient power, it is trivial to craft items out of the even most exotic materials. By reaching through the threads of existence, one can forge a weapon out of the very essence of a being, resulting in something truly unique. Being made literally from the person themselves, these weapons form a permanent bond with their users. They become less a tool and more an extension of the person and over time slowly grow and adapt into a reflection of their innermost person. These changes are subtle at first; decades pass before anything is noticeable, and lifetimes go by before they reach their true potential. It is possible there is a way to speed up this process, though it has never been accomplished without serious consequences to the owner.

Kaleigh’s weapon is a greatsword forged out of pieces of her own essence. The actual blade is made of incredibly dense bone, bound to the hilt by ligaments and sinew and decorated with tufts of jet black fur. It is more an extension of her own body than just a weapon, and it pulses lightly in rhythm with her heartbeat.

The blade is roughly five feet in length and 8 inches wide, the insides of this blade hide numerous complicated organics that manipulate the momentum and energy of each swing. Though typically wielded with both hands, Kaleigh is capable of using her weapon effectively with just one hand as well, although with a slight loss of control and accuracy.[/spoiler]

Basic Attack
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: Instant
Speed: Slow as expected from a common great sword
Power: Significantly heavier than a great sword.
Mobility: No restrictions
Accuracy: As expected of a common great sword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: Single Target[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
While a normal swing is slow and predictable, excess force and recoil is channeled through the blade instead of acted upon its user, allowing the wielder to stay much more mobile than a blade this size would seem to allow. Potential energy is stored at the base of the blade in an organ similar in composition to a human heart.

Fast Attack
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: 0.5 seconds to brace against swing momentum.
Speed: As fast as a common long sword
Power: About as much as a common great sword
Mobility: Stationary until after swing
Accuracy: As expected of a common great sword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: Single Target[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
Potential energy stored in the heart of the blade can be utilized with an appropriate application of will, which allows its user to unleash portions of this potential energy into kinetic energy that accelerate the swings dramatically. Activating these lightning fast swings require the user to temporarily suspend the momentum dampening effects of the blade, necessitating a firm stance which effectively immobilizes the user for a brief moment. Additionally, this effect must be released before impact to avoid damaging the heart. Once reactivated, the recoil storing effects overcompensate for the speed of the blade, drawing power from the swing and making it hit slightly less hard than a normal swing.


Kinetic Override – Tier 1 Super Attack – 600 OM (requires Physical Strength)
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: 0.5 seconds to brace against swing momentum.
Speed: As fast as a common long sword
Power: Super level 1, like being hit by a freight train going full speed, except that can also cut you in half
Mobility: Stationary until after swing
Accuracy: As expected of a common great sword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: Single Target[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
By activating the stored energy of her blade and holding it through impact, Kaleigh can cause a complete discharge of the heart of her blade. The resulting swing is both blindingly fast and explosively deadly, and the similarity to the blades normal function makes it difficult to predict. However, the kickback is enough to break the arm of anyone not familiar with how the blade functions, and also causes severe damage to the sword, negating its ability to store enough energy for a second override, (Short bursts of speed are still possible). This damage ‘heals’ over time, in line with Kaleigh’s own natural healing.

I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.
I do hereby confirm.

Omni has been spoken to about this, but is communicating with Ash about it still and waiting on proper confirmation.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!

Got the picture with all three of them holding the sign with their character's name, so all good.

History - You actually need to tell us at what point your character was taken from her World. Though, in your character's case, a general idea of what she was doing at the time Omni took her will be appropriate.

Black Omen - Is there any kind of time required to activate the lightning fast variant of this move or is it instant?

Kinetic Override - Just to be clear;

"This damage ‘heals’ over time, in line with Kaleigh’s own natural healing." This refers to healing the blade and not Kaleigh, right?

In her world, a mostly normal Earth, she did not fit in. Her goal was to run out the clock on her 'immortality'. She did that mostly by avoiding people and traveling alone. At the time she was taken, she was very close to her goal, within a year. She was doing nothing special, just wandering. The exact moment wouldn't matter much.

If this was a book, being pulled into Omniverse is the first chapter.

If you require exact details, then she was taken April 14th, 2018 at 4:14 pm, EDT. She was traveling through northern Michigan of the United States, attempting to get to Canada.

Rough location on google maps

Her time would run out at 11:59:59 on August 26th the same year. I have pulled these numbers out of thin air and I hope I at least amused you with them, =p

Why would Omni pick that time specifically? Because the chances of anything interesting happening to her in her world before her due date hit exactly 0% at that minute.

If you need anything more than that, I'd need more detail on what your asking for, =/

Quote:Black Omen - Is there any kind of time required to activate the lightning fast variant of this move or is it instant?

The activation is at the speed of thought, there is no charge up, but there is a delay before she activates it where she has to plant her feet and set her posture in order to swing. This takes about half a second, and happens before EVERY swing of this type, even if they are chained together.

Also, "lightening fast" is hyperbole. Someone brought up to me that that might be unclear. The actual speed is better described as the speed of a bullet. This also applies to her super move, which is the same speed. I'll try to be less cool and more precise in the future, =3

Also also, someone brought up that my formatting may be wrong. Should the weapon description ( the bit I put in spoilers) be a part of the move or is it fine where it is?

Quote:Kinetic Override - Just to be clear;

"This damage ‘heals’ over time, in line with Kaleigh’s own natural healing." This refers to healing the blade and not Kaleigh, right?

Correct, for the intent of the question. The blade is damaged, not her, and the blade heals, not her. Technically, they are the same entity, so the question is similar to asking if her arm is healing instead of her.

I should bring this up now: I plan to take regeneration further down the line. It won't change the function of the super move at all except that the time for the blade to heal will just be till the end of the fight instead of whatever time normal healing is. That's what that line is for (I planned to create a move approval post for this edit when the time comes)

History - I just meant, was she asleep? Was she doing shopping? Was she killing people? What was she doing when she suddenly found herself in the Omniverse. But you have updated your history since I last looked and it's fine now.

Black Omen - How long is 'a brief moment' before the fast attack activates?

For future reference - You write your moves in a really complicated manner. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I think you'd really benefit from taking a look through some rosters and looking at the simplicity of moves that have been approved, and how they've been formatted.

I rewrote Black Omen with less emphasis on fluff and more on function. While I didn't directly change any function in the attacks themselves, hopefully it is much clearer in my intent. I also added more to the weapon description itself while temporarily removing the fluff background. Finally, I added a disappearing/resummoning effect to the blade.

It was mentioned to me that I should be reposting the changes rather than editing my original post, so that is what I've done.

Black Omen (requires Physical Strength) - 600 OM
Authors note:
Black Omen is written like a separate entity for ease of understanding, but is as much a part of Kaleigh as her arm or leg would be. Therefore, it has all of the same powers and proficiencies she has, has the same stats as her, and they share a health pool. Damage to the sword is damage to her. The blade is neither sentient nor sapient.

Weapon Description
Kaleigh’s tool is a greatsword. The blade portion is made of incredibly dense bone, bound to the hilt by ligaments and sinew and decorated with tufts of jet black fur. Inside of it are functioning organics, complete with a heart like organ just above the hilt. The weapon pulses lightly in rhythm with Kaleigh’s heartbeat.

The blade is roughly five feet in length and 8 inches wide and weighs roughly 25lbs. It has the ability to manipulate the momentum and energy of each swing, either absorbing or discharging this energy through different modes. This does not affect the actual weight of the blade, and long fights can exhaust the user quickly. Though typically wielded with both hands, Kaleigh is capable of using her weapon effectively with just one hand as well, although with a slight loss of control and precision.

If the blade is ever more than 5m/16ft from Kaleigh, it will start disappear. When this happens, the blade dissolves first into a viscous black liquid before evaporating completely. This process takes about 6 seconds, and can be prevented if Kaleigh maintains line of sight with her blade and focuses on it. Kaleigh can also purposefully cause this effect by concentrating on it until the blade has fully dissolved. Once the blade has completely disappeared, intentionally or not, it merges back into Kaleigh’s body, where it can then be resummoned.

To regain her blade, Kaleigh has to physically tear the blade out of her. She begins this process by placing a hand on any other part of her body and willing the blade to appear. The weapon begins to form handle first in her hand as she draws it out of herself.  This process takes 1 second to form the hilt of the weapon and then an additional 4 seconds to form the blade. This is not a draining process. If this process is interrupted, the blade will start to disappear as if it was 5m away from her and is subject to all the rules of the blade disappearing. The process can be continued from where it was stopped as long as the blade hasn’t completely disappeared.

Energy Absorption Mode
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: Instant
Speed: Slow as expected from a common greatsword
Power: Significantly heavier than a greatsword.
Mobility: No restrictions
Accuracy: As expected of a common greatsword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: Single Target[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
The default mode of the weapon. Slow and powerful, this modes main advantage is its ability to absorb recoil and wasted momentum, allowing it’s user to stay mobile. Attacks while running, dodging or even jumping are all possible without throwing the user off balance. Kaleigh uses this mobility to mix in other attacks, such as punches and kicks, in order to create openings for her swings.

Blade Acceleration Mode
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: Instant
Speed: As fast as a common long sword
Power: About as much as a common greatsword
Mobility: Stationary until after swing
Accuracy: As expected of a common greatsword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: Single Target[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
This mode is activated by Kaleigh’s thoughts rather than a mechanical device, and has two primary differences from her default mode. The first is that she loses all mobility, having to plant her feet and remain in place until the blade stops after each swing. The second is that the blade’s acceleration is increased enough that the swing is as fast as a long sword, while still having the length and size of a greatsword. This speed does not translate into extra damage, it only makes the swing harder to dodge. Unless she wills it otherwise, the blade reverts back to absorption mode just before impact, which also reduces the damage to that of a normal greatsword.

Kinetic Override, Blade Acceleration Mode – Tier 1 Super Attack – 600 OM (requires Physical Strength)
Attack Stats:
[spoiler]Activation time: Instant
Speed: As fast as a common long sword
Power: Super level 1
Mobility: Stationary until after swing
Accuracy: As expected of a common greatsword
Range: Melee
Area Of Effect: 3m radius focused on point of impact.[/spoiler]
Attack Description:
Identical to blade acceleration mode, except the mode is not released before impact. Kaleigh loses all mobility, having to plant her feet and remain in place until the blade stops after the swing. The blade’s acceleration is increased enough that the swing is as fast as a long sword, while still having the length and size of a greatsword. The first time the blade connects with an intended target during this attack, all of the stored energy in the blade is discharged in one attack. This attack can only be used once, due to the stress it inflicts on the heart of the blade. The blade must heal before the attack can be used again, following the normal rules for healing (The damage is equivalent to a moderate injury, 3 points of damage. This is NOT inflicted on Kaleigh, it’s just a benchmark to use to determine how long the weapon takes to recover for another attack).
