Welcome to Gaia! ::

Arin's pod touched down in the middle of a stony desert, the door opening with a hiss. Placing one hand on the wall of her pod, and then her left hand on the other side of the doorway, a woman climbed out, wearing a suit of black and purple armor, with a purple scouter over her eye. her black hair ran in a straight bob parallel to her jawline. Her black eyes scanned the horizon. Looking further down, she had a black tail wrapped securely around her waist. The woman who would be ruler of all the Universe had arrived. And she was going to recruit some talent. She took a few steps away from her pod, noticing how light she felt. The pod instantly shot off toward the horizon, finding a safe place to hide itself. She took a deep breath of the light air here, and looked at the empty, barren land around her, outcroppings of rock everywhere. Perfect She needed to train, and here was as good a place as any.

Arin's KP: 4/44
Arin's Max KP: 96/136

Arin watched as the energy dissipated halfway to the stone. She sighed softly. This could prove to be more difficult than learning to use her ki at all. Focusing her energy again, she forced it into a sphere, and forced it instead down to her fore and middle fingers, as had worked on Nexum. She sighed softly. She needed to do this. She needed to be able to do this. In fact, she probably shouldn't have left Nexum without this skill. She might just go back, to train. She built the energy further, hoping to get it this time.

Training: 1 day
posts: 13/10
successes: 2/4
Technique Name: Ki blast
Description of Jutsu: This technique seems to be fairly common, (and fairly obsolete) throughout the universe. It focuses generic chakra and fires a blast (can be a cone, ball, beam, whatever,) of non-sustained chakra to do a little damage to whatever it happens to hit.
Rank: D
Kp Cost: 20 Kp
Damage: 10-30 + ki mod. + 1 per ten in ki control
Reflex DC: 5 + Character level + ki mod for half damage. Neutral 20 or surpassing the save by 10 means no damage.
Requirements: ki 10+, ki control 10+
Training: 3 days
Special: Can be used to cancel another non-sustained ki attack if it proves to have a higher DC.

((Powering up at the rate of 25 kp per turn.))

Arin's KP: 54/44
Arin's max KP: 46/136

This was becoming too easy. Arin had to tone it down, otherwise she'd start breaking things. As it was, she saw the earth splitting beneath her feet, the sand blowing away from her as the faintest of purple auras surrounded her. She sighed softly, calming her breathing to bring her rate of charging down. She only needed a little bit more to fire off three shots. And she was hoping three shots would be enough. if not, she would need to power up even more, and that would mean she would spike on the radar again. Anyone with a scouter would know she was here. She didn't need whatever creatures that live on this planet to know she was here as well.

Technique Name: Power-up
Description of Jutsu: This technique is the ability to bring the vast stores of ki that are held in your body's reserves to the surface (and often, beyond the surface, resulting in an aura of ki around the user.)
Rank: E
Cp Cost: N/A (see ki in [What is D20? Our system thread -> abilities] for exception)
Damage: 1 hp to inanimate objects per 2 kp over resting rate, at a radius of [ki mod] feet around the user.
Requirements: ki control 1
Training: 1 day
Special: This technique allows the user to pull their inactive ki to the active state at a rate of [ki mod + ki control] per turn.

An aura will develop around the user if they surpass their resting ki rate. Auras can displace solid matter, so it's a good idea to think through it before powering up to full strength in the middle of a flimsy building. (just a suggestion.) Ki causes damage to inanimate objects (that the user is not protecting or keeping out of this effect) at a rate of 1 hp damage per 2 kp over resting rate. Just how it happens depends on personal preference. This damage has a radius of [ki mod] feet around the user. It does not harm people.

Arin's Max KP: 40/136

Arin closed her eyes and focused her energy into her right hand this time, pouring it down her arm and to her fingers. The purple dark began to build up on her fingers, and she tried to force it to behave this time around. Her fingers were completely covered in energy, and she pushed it down further, compacting it to a small ball at the tip of her fingers. She pushed it even farther, so that the point of energy was focused just past the tips of her fingers. She hoped this would work. It was remarkable that it had worked this far.

And the stone came a-tumblin' down. A hole five inches wide was blasted in the stone. Which was impressive because the beam had only been as thick as a needle. The stone was not quite able to deal with a smaller hole being bored through it by a super-heated laser. It split down the middle and fell to the ground in pieces. Arin leaped thirty feet in the air, glad that no one could see her. YES! Ok. One more time. I think I've got it. Her energy was completely restored. She had been growing hopeless. And now, she had a reason to look forward to her training. She pointed her fingers at a new rock, even farther away, and poured her energy into that magic spot. Or at least it felt like the magic spot. It condensed down to a pinprick, and she hoped it would be enough.

Arin pushed herself onward, milking every last ounce of energy from herself, knowing that she would have exactly enough for two shots. She finished charging and noticed that she didn't even have an aura. Reaching under her armor, she pressed the call button on her remote. She had a feeling she would be pretty tired after this. And she had a feeling that she would get this done before then. Hopefully this feeling would be justified, and she could eat and go to sleep knowing that she will be able to rely on this technique when the time came.

Her pod hit the sand again. With a hiss that was growing familiar to her, the door dropped open. She stepped forward and climbed inside, the door hissing closed in front of her as she settled into her padded seat. "What is your destination, Queen Arin?" "I need to find a forest.. Be sure to stay under the radar. I need to hunt." "Of course, milady." And it took off at a reasonable speed, setting down gently through the canopy of trees so that they couldn't be seen from above. The forest had a cliff overlooking one side, that must have showed the whole forest. And on the other side, as if it had been planned, was a broad river that terminated the forest and revealed grassland over on the other side. It was surprising... On Nexum everything seemed much... Broader... Oh, well. Her pods door opened, and she climbed out with a muttered 'thank you' to the pod. It was the only thing she had talked to in years. She laughed at that.
