| Specific: The user has limited alternate forms into which they can transform, but not modify. //Example: [[Petra_Dyaltov]] can transform himself into a male elf, but cannot adjust any of his anatomy or gender. [[Nicole]] can transform people, but only into copies of himself.// | Specific: The user has limited alternate forms into which they can transform, but not modify. //Example: [[Petra_Dyaltov]] can transform himself into a male elf, but cannot adjust any of his anatomy or gender.

| - | === Hypnosis === | + | === Hypnosis/Corruption === |
| - | A catch-all term for the direct influence over someone's mind, either through realistic hypnotic technique or psychic influence. | + | Hypnosis is used as a catch-all term for the direct influence over someone's mind, either through realistic hypnotic technique or psychic influence. //Hypnosis// implies a direct, conscious effort at effecting a character's mind. //Corruption// involves little or no direct effort of the user. It is a slow and permanent modification to a target's personality which the target is completely unaware of. |
| Minor: Subtle influences can be made to one's mind, including light suggestions. This sometimes means simply getting a target to relax. | Minor: Subtle influences can be made to one's mind, including light suggestions. This sometimes means simply getting a target to relax. | ||

| Character with the ability to subsume can envelop another character entirely within their being, usually leaving them trapped and without control. Depending on the character, this may leave very little evidence of the subsumed character. The user may gain some access to the target's thoughts or abilites. | Character with the ability to subsume can envelop another character entirely within their being, usually leaving them trapped and without control.

| - | Corruption | + | Hacking is essentially hypnosis for robots and AI characters. This ability also implies aptitude with computer programming. |

| - | Traits | + | === Draconic Element === |
| - | Parasite | + | |
| - | Artificial | + | All [[Dragon]] species characters are aligned with an "element", which is the manner in which their willpower manifests. Usually displayed as an aura or breath weapon, the dragon uses this element to attack or influence other characters. Some elements are very clear and literal (like [[Cevex|Cevex's]] lightening element), while others are more abstract (like [[Akasha|Akasha's]] "Aether", which she calls the starry substance she secretes). |
| - | Goo | + | |
| - | Thrall | + | === Soul Siphon === |
| + | |||
| + | This is the direct manipulation of a character's soul and usually implies the removal, consumption, or relocation of the soul. In this context, a "soul" contains a character's consciousness and unbroken line of perspective - the soul is who they are, now simply removed from their body. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Astral Body === | ||
| + | |||
| + | The character has direct control over their soul and can willingly leave their body. This creates the potential for intense psychic attacks or espionage with no risk to the physical form, although souls separated from their body are extra vulnerable to psychic or magic attack. Astral ravel is a common method of entering or influencing a character's dreams. | ||

| + | ==== Traits ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Traits carry significant meaning towards the abilities and weaknesses of a character. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Parasite === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Parasite characters require host characters to function. Without a host, they are often immobile or entirely useless and vulnerable. Parasites often express partial or total control over their hosts. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Artificial === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Artificial characters include constructs or androids. They have no soul and their minds do not operate in biological ways - this makes them immune to many magic and psychic abilities, including Hypnosis. This makes them vulnerable to the Hack skill and may make them vulnerable to computer viruses. If an artificial mind is destroyed without external backup, the character likely cannot be recovered. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Goo === | ||
| + | |||
| + | A goo character's body may not be completely solid. It is malleable and soft, and maybe constantly drip. Goo characters often have no trouble recovering from being transformed and often have at least the slight ability to modify their own bodies. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Thrall === | ||
| + | |||
| + | A thrall is a character whose soul has been removed from their body. In its place, an extension of the will power of another character exists. A thrall character is a puppet for another character, obeying their commands and whims as if the thrall's body was their own. If the soul of a thrall still exists, it likely has limited awareness of its body (it can see, feel, and hear through their body) but has no control. | ||
