Welcome to Gaia! ::

Staff has talked, and cosplays are now allowed to have abilities relevant to their original characters own abilities. This means that if a cosplay has no abilities beyond….say, reading, then your fox can not suddenly have magical abilities. Currently, this is limited to only official cosplays (those listed in the cosplay thread), but regular foxes may at some point be allowed to have certain abilities. Foxes ABSOLUTELY CANNOT do anything that involves the use of hands/opposable thumbs. They only have their mouths and limited use of their paws to manipulate objects. So if a character is trained in swordplay, the fox cosplay will have to use only their mouths to wield the weapon, etc.

Basic abilities such as reading will be allowed without contest if the character has them. However, ‘magical’ abilities will need to be run through a cosplay ability approval thread that is soon going to be set up. This thread will not be used to outright reject abilities: It is meant to make sure you only use powers inherent to the actual character, and that they are modified so they cannot godmod. If you aren’t sure if the ability would be allowed without contest or if it needs to be approved, just post it anyway! :3


Use this form to enter, and have an example! Anrea or Katachii will let you know if you need to modify your character abilities at all. PM either of them if you have any questions at all!




Username: Katachii
Cosplay: Fenris
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From: Dragon Age II
Summary of Original Character's Abilities: (Taken from the Dragon Age Wiki)
Once a slave of Danarius, a Tevinter Magister, Fenris bears markings of lyrium on his skin that have granted him the unnatural ability to phase through solid objects; however, the experiments performed on him also caused him to lose all of his memories. The limits of his phasing power are unknown, but Fenris uses this ability mostly as an unexpected weapon, phasing through individuals and solidifying, killing them violently. He has fled to Kirkwall as a fugitive, constantly hunted by the soldiers of his former master. The lyrium burned into his body causes him pain, making him guarded against physical contact; however, it is more of an aversion to them being touched rather than physical pain.
List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
-Fenris' markings glow, even under his heavy armor.
-Ability to phase through objects, even living ones.
Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes:
-Fenris is in constant pain because of his markings, and does not go out of his way to phase except when needed (for example, if he's being attacked by a wild animal)
-As a limit, there will be no phasing through other Modifoxes, as a weapon or otherwise unless the other RPer previously agrees to it. This would only be for fight RPs, and he would not kill the fox unless Fenris is being used for a staff-approved death plot.

Username: Katsura Zanshin
Cosplay: Hiei
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From: Yu Yu Hakusho
Summary of Original Character's Abilities: Taken from here
Hiei is a master swordsman, resistant to fire, is super speedy(enough to create afterimages of himself). With his surgically-implanted third eye, thanks to the demonic osteopath Shigure, Hiei can display wide array psychic abilities- including telepathy, telekinesis, remote-viewing, and erasing memories.
List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
-Speed
-Swordsmanship
-Telepathy
Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes:
I'm not going to have him any more or less resistant to fire than your average Deava. He is a little faster, but not nearly fast enough to leave an after image. I figure he'd be quicker at running or flying and could easily get away...if he wanted to. But not to the point that if he were fighting, he'd always land hits or always dodge.

Swordsmanship is pretty easy. He uses his mouth instead of his paws. He prefers not to 'dirty' his sword, though, so he'd probably only use it against inatimate things or during a heist.

As for the telepathy, I was thinking he couldn't read minds unless the other fox was purposely trying to communicate with him that way. For example: Yoko and Hiei have to be quiet cause they're hiding from...idk a bear. And Yoko has a plan, so he thinks it at Hiei and Hiei can hear him.

Cosplay: Merrill
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From: Dragon age.
Summary of Original Character's Abilities: (taken from the dragon age wiki) Merrill was born to the Alerion clan, which wandered the hills of Nevarra. She was the third child of the clan with magic born to her. Following the next Arlathvenn, the gathering of Dalish clans, she was given to the Sabrae clan to be the First to Keeper Marethari. She is interested in recovering the elves' lost lore and possesses some knowledge of the elves' old magic. Merrill can recite all of known elven history and navigate the Fade, but has very little experience with the world or even her own people.[2]
List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
-can read books
-I’m considering the fade more a dreamlike world for modifoxes so dream walking
Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes:
-Dreamwalking would be both tiring and not always accurate. Dreams are after all not the most reliable path for information. She would also not be able to enter every fox’s dream, she usually has to have direct contact with the sleeper. This means she can’t wade from fox dream to fox dream. She might stumble across one (would have to be approved by the other fox owner) but she can’t get into one on purpose without contact.

Cosplay: JACOB BLACK
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From: Twilight
Summary of Original Character's Abilities:As Jacob's character emerges in New Moon, he is shown to be cheery, passionate, and adventurous, but hot-headed. Jacob is also able to shape-shift at will into a giant wolf, and sometimes when angered he will involuntarily phase. His body temperature is warmer than a human's body should be, reaching about 108.9 °F (42.7 °C), which allows him to withstand very cold weather. In human form, his body heals within seconds, he possesses superhuman strength and speed, has a high durability rate, sharp senses and free running abilities. In werewolf form he can communicate with his werewolf pack telepathically, has enchanced superhuman strength and speed and a substantial size increase. Werewolves teeth can cut through the hard bodies of a vampire with ease. Werewolves do not age if they regularly turn into their wolf form, with Jacob's body physically grown to the equivalent of a 25-year-old in Breaking Dawn. Jacob is the strongest of the pack. Once they begin phasing, a werewolf may "imprint"—a method of finding one's soulmate—on someone, and will act as whatever the imprintee needs, whether it be a protector, a lover, or an older sibling.
List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
Shape-Shift into a regular size wolf
His Body temp runs hotter then normal modis
Free Running Abilities
If another twilight wolf is created, they can speak Telepathically
I can have him Imprint.
Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes: Can sometimes lose control of his shifting when angry. He's a hothead. When in wolf form (once there are other members of the "pack" there is no such thing as privacy).

Cosplay:GEORGE WEASLEY
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From: Harry Potter
Summary of Original Character's Abilities: Although not a high achiever academically, George was a very clever, talented, and creative wizard. In fact, he and Fred once attempted to cast an advanced spell like the Unbreakable Vow with their younger sibling Ron (and would have succeeded if their father had not discovered the attempt). Harry Potter once expressed bewilderment as to how he and Fred received only three O.W.L.s each, remarking that they "really know their stuff"[10]. When the twins turned seventeen, they were able to use magic outside of Hogwarts, and took full advantage of this. They did everything by magic and frequently Apparated around 12 Grimmauld Place and the Burrow, much to their mother's irritation.

Skilled Flyer
Charms
Spell Invention
Transfiguration
Defence Against the Dark Arts
Muggle Tricks

List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
Can do magic, nothing big just the occasional thing or two.
examples: Spells to open locked boxes, Can turn things different colors, Apparate (maybe side-along)
No death or evil spells.

Magic tricks (non magic, muggle ones) Found a deck of cards? Or makes them from items he finds?

Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes: Missing an ear so he can't hear very well. Only really achieved any true magical talent in Charms, Transfiguration and Defense so he couldnt tell you the difference between a Pepper-up potion or the Draught of the Living Death.... so hes suspectible to posioning lol.

Summary of Original Character's Abilities: Although not a high achiever academically, Fred was a very clever, talented, and creative wizard as he and his brother were extremely skilled at charming and bewitching items. Harry Potter once expressed bewilderment as to how he and George received only three O.W.L.s each, remarking that they "really know their stuff"[10]. When the twins turned seventeen, they were able to use magic outside of Hogwarts, and took full advantage of this. They did everything by magic and frequently Apparated around 12 Grimmauld Place and the Burrow, much to their mother's irritation.

Cosplay: Eucliwood Hellsythe
Original Universe Cosplay Originated From:Kore wa zombie Desuka
Summary of Original Character's Abilities: from here
Reality Warping: Eucliwood's primary ability is the power to tamper the string of fate and alter reality. It has been shown that whatever that she says can become reality, with no certain limits to her powers except for Eucliwood's resistance to the side effects of using her powers. Applications of her reality warping powers are as follows:
Resurrection: Although not directly seen, she has shown powers of resurrection, as she was able to revive Ayumu and the Lord of the Night from the dead. It is unknown if there are any restrictions or limits of this ability.
Death Affliction - By saying the word "die", Eucliwood is able to instantly kill a person. In Kyouko's case, she was able to deplete the lives acquired by the rogue Masou Shoujo, whose ability allows acquiring more than one life. However, using her powers in this way, she experiences a intense pain in her head.
Healing: It has been shown that she has the ability to heal the wounds of others, but it also comes with a side effect that she also suffers the pain of the person she heals.
Masou Shoujo Transformation - During her battle against Kyouko, she uses the Mysteltainn to transform into a Masou Shoujo. Whether this proves that she has the necessary magic to be called a Masou Shoujo is unknown.
Scythe: During a brief battle with the Lord of the Night, she wields a large scythe. It is usually a small device she carries with her and can extend to its full length.
List of Abilities in Modifoxes:
1)Healing:by taking on ones pain she can heal minor wounds.
2)message projection:since in the anime Eucliwood mainly communicates with a notepad this will be a way to have her communicate without breaking the heart and soul of the character. her projecting the message she wants to convey telepathically(or some similar means would at least be a close fit)since she cant write
Weaknesses/Limits in Modifoxes: Included some basic nerfs to her powers.and those can be found in the "Abilities" section above
abilities also cause her intense strain/pain when used as she is instead of healing one transferring their pain to herself.


staff please assist me inmaking the powers more reasonable
