Welcome to Gaia! ::

RPC Name: Amias Nicht
Rank: Novice
Bloodline & Class: Pagan/Gunslinger
Talent Description: God Talent -- God of Nothingness
Anyone who has met Amias Nicht would describe him as...aloof. Incredibly wise and insightful, but hesitant to share his knowledge with those who seek it. Partly because of their own mindless indulgence, their stupidity...

However, Amias' aloof nature is quite symmetrical with his abilities. You see...of all the Pagans, his defense is the greatest. He is able to manipulate a special presence, called 'Lyr', a free-flowing energy. To most everyone else, it has many names: Nothingness, the void, you name it. It is a blank energy characterized by a complete lack of mass that resides within it, although it's appearance is a light grey, smoky hue, visible to the naked eye. A perfect vacuum. In its base form, it is capable only of covering a small portion of his body--say his chest, for example--and is only durable enough to block a small, incredibly weak attack or a weak physical attack (strength 4 or below.) However, this defense increases exponentially when energy is applied. This increase in particular is what gives Lyr its legendary defensive power. When energy is expended, Lyr is able to withstand attacks of one rank above it's own.

With added energy, the size and durability of Lyr increases:
E-rank: Increases to five feet in size. Deflects up to D-rank.
D-rank: Increases to ten feet in size. Deflects up to C-rank.
C-rank: Increases to twenty feet in size. Deflects up to B-rank.
B-rank: Increases to thirty-five feet in size. Deflects up to A-rank
A-rank: Increases to fifty feet in size. Deflects up to S-rank.
S-rank: Increases to seventy-five feet in size. Deflects up to SS-rank.
SS-rank: Increases to one hundred feet in size. Deflects a huge portion of an SSS-rank skill.
SSS-rank: Increases to titanic proportions. Will deflect any attack without fail. One of the most powerful defensive abilities in creation.

Those are the two bread-and-butter abilities of Lyr, but there are just a couple more that will be provided in list form:
- Lyr Mist--creates a mist of lyr to cloud the opponent's vision. Can be destroyed with C and above. Extends outward twenty feet. D-rank energy consumption, B-rank if they want to cloud the entire area. (B-rank requires A-rank to destroy)

- Using Lyr, Amias is able to temporarily reduce the space between himself and an opponent to nothingness. This ability is one of his most underrated, although it's presented itself in many useful ways. Using it, Amias is not only able to crush an incoming ability, but he's also able to close the distance between himself and his opponent nigh-instantly. He also has the option to straight-up use this to remove the space for defensive purposes, or throwing off an opponent's depth perception by making something approach faster than it normally would. If this ability is used to crush another ability, it must be initially of the same rank. Afterwards, its effectiveness is reduced by one rank. Meaning that--if you were to originally use B-rank to crush a B-rank ability and gap close--it would then go down to C-rank for gap-closing effectiveness as a trade-off. This does not work on other roleplaying characters. And the minimum distance between any transported objects to an opponent after removed space is five feet. The energy rankings are listed below:

E-rank: Up to two square feet of space.
D-rank: Up to five square feet of space.
C-rank: Up to ten square feet of space.
B-rank: Up to twenty square feet of space.
A-rank: Up to thirty five square feet of space.
S-rank: Up to fifty square feet of space.
SS-rank: Up to seventy five square feet of space.
SSS-rank: Up to one hundred square feet of space.

- As to keep with the theme of 'nothing', anyone who would cut Amias open would realize that he doesn't have blood, or organs. In fact, the inside of his body looks only like the Lyr, grey and devoid. The only way to kill Amias is to destroy his entire body at once. Otherwise, he will simply reform any lost body parts in five posts, or after the battle ends.

-Amias can turn Lyr into a cutting edge, and it can be expanded and manipulated for 1.5 times the energy cost as the regular ability. It retains the same defensive bonus, thus the heightened energy cost. This ability can go up to the C-rank energy usage, nothing higher.

- The Absence:
Another cornerstone ability of Lyr is it's ability to temporarily remove substances from the mortal plane. He can only remove objects or substances that are not currently being used by another RPC; for example, he cannot remove an opponent's guns, or their weapon. If they're using an attack, he wouldn't be able to remove any of the attack using this ability. This is purely for remote, precise removals. The sizes and energy costs are the same as the first ability's. Opponent's items and weapons cannot be removed unless they have been out of contact with their user for at least two posts from each roleplayer in the battle.

- The Return:
The opposite of the Absence. Amias is able to return whatever he took away. This ability does not have a cost, as it's simply reversing what already happened. The removed space/object is returned exactly as it was when it left the plane, remaining in stasis in the other realm. If another RPC is within the space of where a removed item was, it cannot be returned until they move.

- The Wall - B
Amias creates a wall holding the same misty properties as the rest of Lyr. However, this wall has a very strange...property. The higher power of the attack that hits this wall, the stronger it becomes in response. SS and SSS-rank attacks will destroy the wall, but C, B, A, and S will all be deflected without fail. E, D, and weak attacks will destroy the wall, following the same rule. If someone were to walk up and poke the wall, it would shatter like glass.

- I Am Nothing - S
With this skill, Amias is able to temporarily become Lyr. This is his final resort of defense, in which he leaves the mortal plane completely for a brief period of time, becoming invulnerable to damage for one post. It is said that any opponent who forces him to use this skill will earn the respect and willingness to help from one of these 'gods', as they're called. This skill is an absolute dodge for one post, and has a ten post cooldown between uses.

- You are Nothing - SS (Expert Rank Required)
After focusing on a large area (forty feet), the faint grey haze of Lyr begins to appear, completely coating the area he's focusing on. This technique has a one post delay--the next post that the opponent makes. Anything within the haze on the user's next post will be destroyed without question. Only SSS-ranked defenses are able to withstand the attack. Even SS-rank are crushed. What remains after the mist collapses in on itself is only the air particles that rush in to replace the ones that were destroyed. Anything else is gone completely.

Talent Weakness: Amias' pagan abilities give him only a few offensive abilities; being so defense-centered, he'd find it difficult to be offensive.

done...
though mine was literally the example you posted, where we said move them up 1 rank and it'd be perfect... which raises the question... if i have a timer on regen, do vampires? If so, why is it not explicitly stated? seems like that could be something easily abused, right?
