RPC Name: Name here
RPC Rank: D-Novice
RPC Bloodline: succubus
RPC Class: Ninja

RPC Subclass
none


Talent Name: Black market savant
Talent Description: You dirty scallywag, you know all the tricks and you occasionally trick the trade if you know what I mean...

Massive charisma bonus against rogues. Rogues and people who aren't extra nice to you get a bad reputation and a massive charisma debuff against local criminals or absolutely everyone if done in Nocturne or any other place known for corruption.

You hear rumors of who enters and leaves town. For rogues, assassins, tricksters and ninjas you don't get names and the fine details unless you've met them before, everyone else, especially if they aren't tricky slippery people actively avoiding everyone, you get a little more info but nothing crazy like maybe a name or something.

You can pay for some goods with something other than gold but if its something other than transportation its probably going to cost you some time and leave anybody looking for you the next breadcrumb to follow... and of course this has a very dangerous side effect of attracting bards................................ nobody likes bards

For a decent fee you can make suspicion of you from NPCS and willing RPCs go away without directly bribing them.. it will cost you half your current gold plus half of whatever gold you spent, stashed, or gave away in that town in the past 3 posts.

Your ability to smuggle things gets a bonus on top of all other bonuses. NPC border patrollers are useless against you as long as you have a nice excuse. Of course its a little easier to explain why your wagon seems to be full of cheese right after a massive cheese theft than it is to explain why its full of dead bodies while one of the victims is still alive begging for help or something. You gotta at least try to be convincing still.

If arrested you can still access the black market and send messages out

Talent Weakness: Whenever you touch evil, evil touches you. When you use the black market you yourself become a little more vulnerable to all others who use it as well even if its just through implication. If you ask about the assassin in white people will say "someone was asking about the assassin in white"
How did the character get this talent?: She was born to be an economic espionage agent but was cut loose when the project didn't produce the improbable results desired. Though she no longer gets the bonus funding she is still kept on a leash incase they want to reactivate their asset. As a result she is both somewhat connected by default especially amongst, Nocturne, Kranila, and ocean traders.

RPC Name: Red
RPC Rank: Master
RPC Bloodline: The Red
RPC Class: Mage


Talent Name: Reflexionem Obscuri (lit. "Dark Reflection")
Talent Description: One of the more unique aspects of Red's body is that she is physically composed of a constant energy density filling space homogeneously; a humanoid form lodging cosmic energy. Because of this physiology, there is no part more important than the other; there is only her body in its forever adapting state. Due to this unique structure and affinity towards passion, Red is capable of not only absorbing aura based energies; psycho-manipulation, such as seduction and illusion magic, and those relating to dark thaumaturgy, but she is also capable of reflecting them with added power. It reverberates right back at the opponent, hitting them with their own force - plus an amplification by [1] rank if she applies her own energy, depending on the technique itself. This talent by itself is passively activated and does not require energy to merely reflect.

Talent Weakness: Though she is more invulnerable to these manipulations, it does not grant immunity. After the effect wears off, a [3] post cooldown applies before it can be used again.

How did the character get this talent?: Your truest spiritual path will lead you to yourself for it is devoted to becoming. Red has never been a stranger to the thralls of passion, even before she went through the Harrowing. It was known that she had carried Lust, a cardinal sin that ensues debauchery and leaves a trail of trouble in her wake. There's always an artistry to seduction, it can sculpt a nation or destroy it in a flick of a wrist. This is part of the universe though, two (or more) souls intertwined in heat, the throes of desire effect all. It is been engraved in the human race, but some go a step further, some simply become more. She does not, in the pride of superior knowledge, turn with contempt from the follies of her past predecessors. Over-indulgences, dysfunctions and obsessions are reorienting impulses:
 exposing that the gap between who you are being and the truth of who you are capable of being, 
is craving alignment. Taking in and reflecting back, a mirror intensified, she knows the calling of energy and it speaks the language of synchronicity.

Approved.

Hi!
I'm gonna jump right into this.
Let's aim higher. A talent is super valuable and I'd hate for you to miss out on anything!
You gain a furry human form. But this feat is done as a passive, so there is little benefit from this being your main focus on the talent. What you can do is say that in your permanent bipedal cat form, you gain things other Kiranus do not have. Like, additional speed or strength, maybe a nice additional passive?

Oh, it doesn't have to be permanent. I just generalized.
But yeah, talents are things that really allow you to pull ahead and make yourself unique in this world that has nearly everything. If you look at examples which have already been approved, you'll see things like a succubus expanding on her seduction abilities; a person with a Sin pretty much using their talent to become one with the Sin inside of them. Like, talents are truly fantastic things, and your creativity is the limit.

RPC Name: Brydent de Valois
RPC Rank: Master
RPC Bloodline: Vaet Diabolos
RPC Class: Elementalist, Magi

RPC Subclass None yet


Talent Name: EM Bonds
Talent Description: "Magnetic -"; an ability that allows someone to disconnect from the planet's EM field in a particular way that allows them to, essentially, self-manipulate. It is a disconnection in some ways, but a connection far stronger in many others. "Magnetic -" for most appears as if becoming an opposite electromagnetic field . . . diverging from the planet, repelling yourself, but to varying degrees.

Instead, you have become ever-closer. Brydent, pioneering and mastering the magnetic subtraction, has learned to connect with the EM field around him. He can now perceive metal from very far away via focus, and control the magnetic field from vast distances using "Axiom". This is true of all Vaet Diabolos of his caliber . . . however,

his is only more refined.

He has bonded to Axiom's EM field to enter a state of supreme transcendence, far outside the norm of a regular EM manipulator.

+1 to Electromagnetism
"Magnetic -" is passive and enhanced; it now allows you to manipulate the compression of the EM field. This allows you to accelerate rapidly while repelling yourself, and also decelerate foes confined by the EM field. This takes place as a +2 to you, -2 to them, speed-wise.
The Elementalist Staff is the EM field itself. You can construct this weapon from the EM around you and it will manifest as a strange electric energy surrounding the hands.
Perception of EM movements for miles around through intense focus, which allows for long-ranged assassinations, especially through the ability "Axiom".

An ability, forged by Brydent:

Sphere of Influence E-SSS
Sphere of Influence is a spell that creates a singular orb. These orbs may levitate around the wielder's body for usage later, but cannot be carried from a previous combat scenario to a later one. Each orb you create can have a multitude of declared purposes; once the orb is ignited, you decide its purpose. These purposes are virtually anything related to the EM field, and include:

1. Compressing the EM field (Extreme Blunt Damage)
2. Magnifying the EM field (Repulsion of Attacks; Defense)
3. Super-charging the EM field (Electromagnetic Shockwaves, Decay)
4. Focusing the EM field (Attacks that go through this radius will suffer penalties or will be enhanced, by user discretion: penalties will usually mean that equal rank attacks will be destroyed, but will still destroy the Sphere of Influence. Benefits usually mean you absorb the EM modification to augment a physical attack to do ranked EM damage)
5. Magnetizing; specifically focusing on binding opponents movement, also has the effect of severely damaging synthetic objects such as robots
6. Launching (dispersing EM field, forcing everything in that area to be propelled, launched, flung, etc; higher rank means more devastating launch)

Talent Weakness: Lose all four elementalist elements; Electromagnetism becomes the singular element.
Due to intense connection to EM field, spiritual connection decays, meaning loss of resistance to aura-based abilities. +1 Weakness to auras.
Loss of cardinal mage abilities: Vermillion Drive, Arcane Drive.
How did the character get this talent?: A bond with the world's electromagnetic field.
