Welcome to Gaia! ::

Attack Abilities:

• Physical Techniques – Attacks and skills centering mainly around using his bo or his body, relying heavily on his physical strength and speed.
  
  • Bo-Boomerang - Joe flings his staff at the enemy, making it spin(not unlike a buzzsaw). Joe is also able to use his wind to steer the staff by making it turn or fly back to him, as well as calling it back to his hand, if need be.
    
  • Dance of Death - Focusing on one enemy, Joe delivers a spinning assault with speed and accuracy, dealing a high amount of hits and damage.
    
  • Move Your Body~(aka Stripper Pole Attack) - One of Joe's more...provocative attacks. He thrusts his staff into the ground, then swings around it to deliver punches and kicks in a circle, while bending and flexing, around where the staff was grounded.
    
  • High Flying Ax Kick - Leaping high into the air(with or without the aid of his Air Step ability), Joe delivers a powerful ax kick on his descent. The higher he is, the more damage potential there is.
    
  • Flip Toss - Joe leaps forward and wraps his legs around a part of the enemy(waist, neck, whatever he can fit his legs around), then performs a 'backflip', bringing the enemy around and over him before crashing them headfirst(usually) into the ground. Possible to use in the air. The stronger Joe gets, the heavier the enemy he can do this to(some enemies are too large, and thus unable to be thrown this way).
    
  
  
• Aeromancy – Joe's innate magical ability(thanks to Sylph).
  • Bayamo(Wind Toss) – Creates a gust of wind beneath the enemy and fires them up into the air. Can be used to start an aerial combo, or damage an enemy as they land if they are unable to catch themselves.
    
  • Chinook(Wind Drop) - Creates a gust of wind above an aerial enemy(either of their own power or forced into the air) that pushes them down into the ground, causing damage. The further from the ground, the higher the potential for damage is.
    
  • Matanuska(Wind Push) – Fires off a large gust of wind to push and force an enemy back and away, while causing damage.
    
  • Cordonazo(Wind Blade) - Joseph focuses wind and air into a concentrated line, then fires the concentration of air at an enemy. Usually in the form of an arc, the wind acts like a blade, slicing into the enemy. Invisible to the (normal)naked eye, but experienced fighters and those good with their eyes will see the shimmering of the air being shifted by the blade. Can be fired from body or weapon.
  
  
• Wind and Rain of Blows – Joe's attacks that involve using both his physical attacks as well as his magical ones.
  
  • Gusty Dash – Joe dashes across the battlefield at high speed, body encased in a mini tornado. Deals damage if he touches an enemy while doing it, and it repels projectile attacks as well as makes it hard for physical attacks to hit.(while considered an attack ability, focuses mainly on guard/evasion)

Support Abilities:

• Aerial Assist – Joe supports himself and his allies with wind and air.
  • Etasian(Wind Heal) - Uses his wind in the form of a soothing breeze to heal himself or his allies. Wind-based.
    
  • Air Step – Joe creates a small, temporary platform of wind in the air that him and others can jump off of, allowing jumps higher and farther than normal in the form of a double jump(can actually be done multiple times, but each platform costs Joe some Energy, so Joe usually only uses one at a time).
    
  • Communication is Wind's Specialty - Able to use the air to either spread his voice across big distances(even a whisper), make it so only those he wants hear him, or even silence a person(physically silence them).
  
  

Passive Abilities:

• Fighter's Grace- Because of his Job Class, Joseph is able to string together long combos, making attacks seemlessly flow into one another.(Translates to multiple attacks in a post, whether they hit or not, to an extent)
  
• Projectile's Bane -Joseph's natual aptitude for wind and air makes air tend to circulate him in battle, naturally making it harder for projectiles(and some magicks) to hit him.
  
• Minor Air Affinity- With Air as his element, any attacks containing the same element have their damage halved.

Limit Breaks:

• [Level 1] Tornado -Using Sylph's help, Joseph creates a gigantic tornado that basically covers the entire battlefield, lifting up enemies and flinging them around with debris.
  
• [Level 2] Between a Gust and a Hard Stick- Joseph knocks the enemy into the air, then follows, swinging his staff to hit the enemy, while using wind to create a 'reverse' hit from the opposite side, keeping the enemy in place in the air for numerous hits till Joe makes a final, downward strike, knocking the enemy down and into the ground with wind aiding the force of his strike.
  
• [Level 3] The Lash of Katrina - Joe faces the enemy, then disappears in a burst of speed, the enemy suddenly flying into the air and Joe appearing on the other side of the enemy. With a snap of his fingers, the air 'shimmers', and Cordonazo blades fly at the enemy in droves from all angles, dealing heavy wind damage.
  

Obviously, more might come along later, but hey, at least I got a lot done compared to what I had before >o> But yeah, new abilities for Joe...and Azrael, technically. *goes to work on Bal-Hur* Just let me know if I need to change anything or you have any questions or what not

First, according to the stats, it would seem Bal-Hur is level 7. Why is a level 6 Replica capable of making and controlling something stronger than him? Unless of course the Replicas are allowed to make Unversed so strong they would have to go into boss form if they were in a hypothetical position where force was required to subdue them.

Also, the maximum stat for any stat would be 14 while at level 7. If the Outright Speed was increased beyond the maximum using a skill, then the skill-point total would be 100, not 99 (as it is now). So unless you missed a single point placement on both Human and Demon forms or the humanoid Unversed are following a separate set of rules, this shouldn't be.

Joe's abilities approved.

As for Bal-Hur's stats, they look fine to me. As for the issue of it being higher than the Replica's 'normal' level, and how it would be controlled, we're going by the definition that Unversed are merely extensions of the creator's will. So there would be no worry as to control.

Approved.

ALSO, I AM A FOOL. MAKE BAL-HUR'S STATS EQUIVALENT TO LEVEL 6. 90 POINTS TOTAL. CELIA AND LETTIE WILL DO THE SAME.

I realized that despite Cory being a physically-inclined warrior, he has no purely physical attacks. Because of this, I have decided to remove his Flair techniques and replace them with abilities that focus on physical combat. I feel this is a fair trade, since I am replacing 7 abilities (four of which covering different elements he does not have domain over, including one he is weak to) with 6 abilities that make sense considering Cory's weapon and the inspiration for it (Both "Blue Rose" and "Red Queen" are weapon names that come from the game that inspired the Revblade, Devil May Cry 4). In addition, the Revblade now consumes mana (albeit insignificant sizes of it), so once drained of all his MP he cannot use the Revblade's special ability.

((Been working on these for a bit... more to come... just need to write them out. Here's what I have for now.))

Louis Luciano Ability Updates:


Active Abilities:

• Dark Rift: Louis can use his rapier coated in darkness to literally slice a temporary hole between the realm of light and realm of darkness. This can be used as a form of quick escape by jumping through or a means to summon projectiles from the other side. Transportation in this manner is short range since the dark corridor is constructed in such a swift, sloppy manner. Accuracy of his jumps from entry to exit become increasingly inaccurate the farther the distance he travels in the realm of darkness before returning to the realm of light. ((Mathematically: Distance Traveled and Accuracy are inversely proportional.))
  
  
• Corruption's Wish: Calling on lesser powers of Fahna, one of Mateus' Dark Ice Generals, Louis gains the power to take control of something if he can put his palm against it. This includes lesser beings, such as heartless and animals, or objects that can otherwise move on their own, such as machina and vehicles. The control remains as long as he can keep his other hand submerged inside a dark corridor.

Support Abilities-

• Black Hoof Style: Louis returns to his roots of Horseback Riding, Swimming, and Karate and applies them to his use of darkness. Building off of the concept of "Transfer of Energy", Louis uses darkness in his body to both increase his physical strength tremendously, but also adds into his attacks a little extra. ((+4 Attack Power/-4 Attack Speed/+Toxic Effect))
  • Seed of Evil: When Louis uses Black Hoof Style and lands a hit, this move is automatically applied. With a trace of his own darkness planted in a target, he is able to track them by his own "dark signature" in a close range down to the tiniest movement.
  
  
  
• Corruption's Cataract: ((Activated By Heart of Corruption)) Louis becomes completely numb to pain for a period of time after activating Heart of Corruption. This makes him numb, but not immune to damage, in fact, it makes him far more susceptible to it. The numbness in his entire body makes it impossible for his own body to acknowledge he is being injured and thus does not take precautionary measures to stop bleeding or build up some form of defense against internal injury as well as external. In this state, Louis will attack without reserve and go to any lengths to destroy his enemy.((Numbness + Limited Berserk))

Limit Break-

• [Level 6] Heart of Corruption: Louis creates an orb of darkness in front of his chest that acts as a container into which Louis summons his own heart. In this state, Louis must keep his hands in the same position, as well as try to keep as still as possible. The darkness he releases provides some defenses to keep attacks away, but there is only a certain number of attacks he can repel at once. Louis then proceeds to corrupt his own heart with darkness at a rate of 30% every turn for 3 turns until otherwise interrupted starting on the turn he activates this ability. ((Activates Corruption's Cataract Regardless of Interruption))
  
  
  • Shadow's Illusionary Tale : Frost Bitten Memory ~ 30% Distortion : ((Heart of Corruption- 1 Turn Charge)) Louis corrupts himself to a point where causing pain is no longer a mental obstacle. Louis then casts a spell by skewering his hand with his Rapier. A single drop of blood runs down his rapier and drops to the floor. At the moment of impact, the contract is set and his opponent is then thrust into an illusion created from the depths of their own heart. At this level, obvious fears are presented in an unrealistic setting easily recognizable as an illusion thought the pain felt throughout the illusion will be very much real. The illusion lasts 3 turns, each turn counting down to 0 while cycling through the 3 pathways of pain. Mental, Physical, & Emotional.
    
    
  • Midnight's Illusionary Story : Frozen Dream ~ 60% Distortion : ((Heart of Corruption- 2 Turn Charge)) Louis corrupts himself to a point where causing pain is no longer a mental obstacle. Louis then casts a spell by thrusting his rapier through his stomach. A single drop of blood runs down his rapier and drops to the floor. At the moment of impact, the contract is set and his opponent is then thrust into an illusion created from the depths of their own heart. At this level, slightly deeper fears are presented in an slightly realistic setting not as easily recognizable as an illusion dealing overall more pain than 30% distortion. The pain felt throughout the illusion will be very real and hard to distinguish as imaginary. The illusion lasts 3 turns, each turn counting down to 0 while cycling through the 3 pathways of pain. Mental, Physical, & Emotional only this time they will likely overlap within the steps.
    
    
  • Nightmare's Illusionary Epic : Glacial Damnation ~ 90% Distortion : ((Heart of Corruption- 3 Turn Charge)) Louis corrupts himself to a point where causing pain is no longer a mental obstacle. Louis then casts a spell by thrusting his rapier through his chest. Louis falls to the floor. At the moment of impact, the contract is set, Mateus' glyph splashes across the floor written in blood, and his opponent is thrust into an illusion created from the depths of their own heart. At this level, their deepest fears are presented in an extremely realistic setting not recognizable as an illusion by those caught within. This level of distortion deals the greatest amount of pain on all levels. The pain felt throughout the illusion will be real to physical extent and imposable to distinguish as imaginary. The illusion lasts 3 turns. In those 3 turns, they are completely incapable of performing any skills, they are silenced, slowed, and find themselves unable to think clearly or recall that they were ever in a battle before the illusion began.

Bio:
Jacob lived the life of a nerd. He played video games and read extensively and played all sorts of tabletop games: war-games, rpgs, etc. As such he was ofter picked up, beaten up, and bullied by other kids. In middle school, he had everything in his locker stolen, then thrown out of the school bus's window. Finally tired of it, his brother taught him how to fight. They beat each other and wrestled every day for months. They went running and climbing through the woods behind his house. Finally in 8th grade, Jacob stood up to all the people who picked on him. He took a boy by the name of Charles, and threw him across the gym floor. John? Threw him over two rows of seats when he insulted Jacob's brother.

In high school, less people picked on him and those that did kept their distance. Jacob ignored them. He had put up with it so long that he didn't care much anymore. He had been interested in music in middle school, but in high school, he continued this passion and joined marching band. His senior year, he really enjoyed his newfound freedom and taught himself parkour. When he was 17, his Dad and Step-mother kicked him out of their house because they though he was ungrateful, a druggie, and a whore. Jacob could only listen to them yell at him with a smirk. He was none of those things. He took his belongings and moved out, now free from additional emotional baggage, and back to a normal nuclear family: A mom, a dad, and an older brother.

Summon: Moomba
Summon Appearance: Moomba Appearance
Summon Personality: Moomba is playful and determined. Number one on its list of priorities; however, is self preservation. Only when it know that it (and Jacob) are truly away from danger will it revert into it's normal, slightly devious behavior.

Sample Post:
Jacob stood up and stretched his legs, basking in the warming embrace of the sun, and the gentle nudge of the wind. His friends were beckoning to him so he ran up to them. When they saw him coming, they took off. Jacob followed, gaining speed. A low wall. A quick hurdle. A higher wall. A pop-up vault. They continued this game of cat and mouse, trading leading and following positions for quite some time until the four of them were sticky and exhausted. "Gah.....good run guys. We...we need to...we need to do this more often." Jacob spoke, gasping for breath. Pain is just weakness leaving the body. He picked himself up off the soft grass and walked over to their lunch cooler. "HAM! TURKEY! TUNA!" He called out, throwing wrapped sandwiches over to his friends, before grabbing his own: a chicken salad on rye.
