Welcome to Gaia! ::

How about the only nightmare skills I get are these?

Pressure
[Passive]
Nightmares naturally generate an aura of uneasiness to anyone near them, extending outwards 9 feet. If someone of lower rank is within range, the effects will escalate to paranoia. Along with the psychological effects, someone four ranks or lower will literally feel as if a great weight has been put on their body dropping their stats by 1.


Black Reservoir
[A Rank]
Because Nightmares tend to burn up a lot of their energy as they fight, they eventually developed a technique that would allow them to store ambient energy into their bodies. At the end of the fight, and if the Nightmare has the energy and is conscious, they can pull in 10% of the energy spent in that fight (including the enemy(ies). Black Reservoir caps at 400 energy, and can only be accessed for the duration of a fight after it's been filled.

Night Terror
[S Rank]
Night Terror allows a Nightmare to temporarily take on their true form, granting new abilities, and a physically superior body. Each individual true form must be approved before Night Terror can be used. Night Terror drains 150 energy per post. Night Terror has a 6 post cool down after it's been deactivated.

True Form grants:
- +3 stats divided as the user sees fit.
- One unique ability/skill that future custom skills can be based on (cannot be a passive skill).

The rest of the skills will all be Kiranu, lol. And I still keep the weakness of no summons, so it's pretty much breaking even to get those three skills and the +1 strength in exchange for a summon. sad

zankyuu veri mach

@Shane: No.

Rpc Name: Elisa "Lisa" Azio

Rpc Rank: Student

Combative Talent or Non Combative: Non Combative

Talent Name: Technological Affinity

Description: Because Lisa originated as a machine, and thanks to her continued connection with machines, the implants, upgrades, and systems that she comes into contact with at least respond to her more positively than they would normally.
(+3 strength bonus to allied machines)

Skills: (If any)

Rp Sample:
Lisa started to tinker with the security system of the door. The hub had always been a secure location, especially for her and her allies. However, because the security had been going off with increasingly depressing results, she wished to change this.
She found the hardline and focused her attention onto it, feeling her heart shift slightly in order to mimic the pulse that the wire could translate. After a moment, the order was accepted and the security focused on the original and only intruder. This saved energy and resources, she admitted with a smile.
No doubt that the AIs of the immediate area would be able to recognize what little of a wireless signal she could still give off. If this worked.... then they were home free.

yeah

The very same. Please disregard this post. sweatdrop

Stated by Neko herself in the summoning rules:

"Only one summon out at a time unless class, bloodline, or possibly talent alter this. "

This implies that your maximum number of summons CAN be altered by talents. That's just food for thought. Talents, in general, are to make you able to do something that no one else can. In this case, it's being able to summon, despite it being a BL weakness.
Furthermore, the Nightmare BL says that they can't have summons because they themselves were once summons. But Lucien was genetically birthed, obviously proving that he IS not a summon, WAS not a summon, and never WILL be a summon. And although you told me not to bring up the fact that he's a hybrid -- his talent gives evidence that he received LESS of the Nightmare bloodline than the Kiranu bloodline, shown by the fact that he can only learn less than half of the nightmare skills. Thus, the resistance to being able to summon would be much weaker, and I believe that resistance could be broken with a talent.

As for my character's current weaknesses, there aren't many, for I haven't made many custom abilities for Lucien at all...

In fact, I've only made two customs for him... one, a talent you've already seen (most likely), and two, his custom berserk form, which has pretty legit weaknesses for the fact that it isn't strong, lol. But generally, berserk forms are supposed to be special/strong (like the Night Terror form) because they have huge drawbacks, and can only be used at a high rank.

His current weaknesses are... (I'll include everything I can think of)

• Cannot use weapons/armor in his berserk state (and generally can't use them very well, normally, since berserkers are fist-fighters)
  
  
• His berserk form is the hardest to control of all berserk forms -- for the fact that he feels no remorse for hurting anything, even his tamer, which berserkers usually adore and would never hurt
  
  
• His berserker form body is easy to cut, bruse and impale, especially since it can't wear armor
  
  
• A few other, minor weaknesses for his form, that don't really matter much
  
  
• His strength is lower than nearly all other berserkers due to his faction, which also gives him a weakness to loud noises, along with other small weaknesses
  
  
• Most of his good bloodline abilities, such as the Night Terror form cannot be used until he is of the Master-rank, which makes his prior talent nearly useless until then
  
  
• A generic weakness would include that he is always vulnerable, at any range, due to the fact that he uses his fists (which aren't exactly made out of diamond) in all forms of combat... so, someone could easily just cut his hand off and he'd be vulnerable and easy to destroy
  
  
• More stuff that I can't think of at the moment...
  
  

One thing I have to include though, is that you really can't ask for all of everyone's weaknesses every time you want to consider approving/denying someone's stuff... that's just too much. :S Customs are supposed to be fun to make... not a brutal process of posting 90000823490482390482309482 paragraphs about the entire history of your character's life...
