This is an old revision of the document!


The powers, skills, and traits explored in character articles are loosely-defined descriptors of what they are good at.

Powers

Supernatural powers imply magic or psychic abilities. Strength is listed as either Minor, Moderate, Major, or Specific. Mundane skills imply hobbies, careers, or realistic abilities. Novice implies limited training or a slight interest. Professional implies the character can make a living with this skill or is otherwise highly trained. Master level skills place characters at the top of their field, making them capable of extraordinary feats.


Transform Self/Transform Other

The transformation of a physical body (not including effects on the mind).

Minor: Changes can include color, gender, or other small changes to anatomy but cannot decrease or increase total body mass or species.

Moderate: This can include species change or size change, or material transformation such as into latex or gold.

Major: Drastic transformations such as a mist or liquid form, or into inanimate objects.

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.


Hypnosis

A catch-all term for the direct influence over someone's mind, either through realistic hypnotic technique or psychic influence.

Minor: Subtle influences can be made to one's mind, including light suggestions. This sometimes means simply getting a target to relax.

Moderate: Long term suggestions or triggers can be implanted and called upon at later times. With repeated use, permanent modifications to behavior can be installed.

Major: Drastic, permanent changes to a mind can be done at this level, including the modification or removal of memory or the complete replacement of personality.

Subsume

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.
