Soul Reaper (Open, Fantasy, OOC)

[Asardia]

Character Name: Asteria Sarranie
Appearance: https://static.zerochan.net/Rogue.%28X-Men%29.full.2147377.jpg
House (what family does your character belong to?): House Sarranie
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Personality: Asteria is very extroverted and social. She is generally in a happy mood and has a weird sense of humor.
Mage Type (Mage, Sensor, Esoteric, Medic, Archmage, Inquisitor?): Mage/Esoteric
Magic/Abilities (if any):
Imitation: Imitation is an Esoteric ability that Asteria has that allows her to temporarily mimic the powers of anyone she touches for five minutes, assuming she only uses that one power for the entire 5 minutes. Asteria can also replicate the powers of Esoterics

Weapons Specialist: Asteria is very skilled in using various weapons, specifically swords and daggers. She also is very good with the bow and arrow.

Earth Magic: Asteria is well trained in the Elemental Art of Earth. She can easily manipulate the ground around her and use it to block attacks such as fire. Asteria's skill with Earth Magic gives her access to a technique known as Seismic Sense, which essentially allows her to use vibrations in the earth, enabling her to perceive her surroundings just as good as if she were actually seeing it.

Limitations (what are the restrictions on your character’s abilities?):
Imitation only works for five minutes, and she can only use one power at a time. As soon as she uses a different stolen power, she loses access to the one she previously used (this does not apply to powers Asteria copied but did not use). Imitation also only copies a person's magic, and does not make them powerless. Asteria also will not have the same proficiency when using her mimicked powers.
Faction (does your character belong to a faction? Where does your character’s loyalties lie?): None at the moment
Biography:
Additional Information: Asteria may be joining Kishi

Just to let everyone know, Shizu Yasuri from Kishi's bio is not dead, if anyone wants to RP as her you can. But if you do choose to play her remember that she is a year older than Kishi, she wears a similar mask, she is very brave and not easily frightened (able to withstand Kishi's Aura), she is not a mage, and is is a sword fighting prodigy.

Edit: What Shizu's mask would be like.

Good questions I can type up a full app for her and post it and whomever wants to RP her can.

[Xichung]

I feel that Kishi Kusari and legion should face off, their stories seem similar to a degree. like a true battle of rivals

[Asardia]

Don't underestimate the visual prowess of the Cheristi!

Don’t underestimate legion

Sorry to say this but...I don't see Legion winning. Elakashi by herself could probably take him down. But with Asteria being in Kalingway too, it's a GG.

I have a lot of characters already. Plus, having the OP control so many people would probably be boring. So I'll stand back from this one

Legion may be powered by his blood bu the more he looses the weaker he is. Kishi would quite literally tear him apart.

Thing is legion is an ambush predator, he prefers to get the jump on his target before they find out. If he gets the drop on you game over, cause he learns what you can do once he drinks his blood. I designed legion to be an apex predator, with his main focus of ambushing prey by using his doubles as decoys.

Battle Predictions:

Legion vs Anyone in Kalingway
(I did what I could with the description of the powers given.)

Legion vs Kishi: The most important thing to avoid is Legion's Windigo form. With enhanced speed, strength, and wolverine-like claws, he's a formidable opponent for the average mage. But It seems like Legion is most effective at close range. Kishi's Astral Chains are incredibly strong. All he has to do is keep his distance from Legion, and either attempt to bind Legion and freeze/burn him, or just pierce through his skin (Kishi's Astral Chains can break through iron). I think the only way Legion can avoid the Astral Chains is to use his speed to dodge the attacks and strength to overwhelm Kishi. Legion's clones would also be taken out by the astral chains Conclusion: I'll give the edge to Kishi

Legion vs Elakashi: Ah, this is one of my favourite match ups. Elakashi has not gotten much action yet (she literally appeared in just two posts) but this would allow her to show off and display a glimpse of the power of the Cheristi. Elakashi has the Mind Awakening Seal, a curse in the eye that gives her advanced perception and a few special powers. I have a feeling Legion will make his clones in order to get the upperhand, but Elakashi will be able to destroy them with the Wind Blades (Xichung did say that Legion's doubles can be killed in a single hit). Legion's Windigo form and his serrated blade will be the most dangerous things Elakashi has to deal with. Elakashi should be able to match or surpass Legion in speed with her Wind Magic, and although she can amplify her strength, Legion will probably be stronger. The interesting part is what happens if Legion manages to cut Elakashi (her Eye should be able to see it coming though). If he consumes Elakashi's blood, he may become aware of that she has Bloodline Magic. But whether or not he will know that is revolves around mind manipulation is not something I know. If he does, then he should be able to avoid Elakashi's Magic Suppression Seal and avoid looking into her Cursed Eye. But then we have her Summoning Animal: Sitran. If Elakashi manages to summon Sitran, it's a GG for Legion. The animal can shape shift and protect Elakashi from major damage, and will be able to deal some damage of its own while Elakashi uses her Ice Magic to freeze him. Conclusion: Legion loses here unless he gets backup

Legion vs Matt Remarkable Legion wins in seconds

Legion vs Alune Silenor: Legion takes this battle quite easily if he takes no damage. If Alune cuts him, then the fight will get interesting. Otherwise, I see Legion wins

Legion vs The Black Phoenix: I'll start with Argus. If Legion takes Argus by surprise, then I see him killing him quickly (or however he wants to do it). If that doesn't happen, then Argus stands a chance. His creation magic would keep Legion off guard if he doesn't consume Argus' blood. However, Argus' teleportation is also something to watch out for. Argus' weapons may be destroyed by Legion in his Windigo Form, or at could require Argus to spend more energy. If that happens, Legion may be able to outlast Argus and win. Conclusion: Legion wins

Next is Morgan. Morgan's blades can be summoned on his body, which means Legion must avoid contact. But even then, Argus has ranged weapons at his disposal and can fight off Legion if he can't avoid the hits. If he does try to get close to Morgan, he might get sliced by a fire blade. Conclusion: Draw. It really depends on how the battle goes

Legion vs Lisbeth: The thing to watch out for here is Lisbeth's Gravity Magic. There's no way Legion will ambush Lisbeth since her sensory abilities would discover him long before he reached her. Which means she can use her Gravity Magic at a range, and crush Legion from there. But if there are mirrors around, Legion could possibly teleport through them and attack and kill her. Her summoning is also something that Legion has to contend with, and the summoning is described as being an "incredibly powerful physics attacker". Conclusion Lisbeth wins

Legion vs Caimus: Legion, like Lisbeth, will not be ambushed as his "Scan" ability basically gives him sensory-like abilities. He can use Scan to predict a person's movements and see the points where magic flows (which, if using Wind Magic, he can leave Legion temporarily paralzyed and unable to use magic). And speaking of Wind Magic, Caimus has took the Wind Blade and put his own spin to it (called Forsetti) which I imagine will cut Legion apart. And if Legion goes into Windigo Form, Caimus has Absolute Zero, which will totally freeze everything near him. Long range attacks will also be useless as Caimus will see them with Scan, and will determine if he should use Earth Magic to block it, Fire Magic to burn it, Absolute Zero to freeze, or Wind Magic to deflect. Conclusion: Caimus wins

Legion vs Adelina: Unlike the last two matchups, Legion has a much higher chance to win against Adelina. Legion definitely has the speed and strength to take down Adelina, and his blades will most likely hit and deal heavy damage to Adelina. But, Adelina has access to Fire and Earth Magic, which is probably the best combination of elemental magic types. With Fire, Adelina has a technique known as Explosion, which she can use to either make things she touches explode or just make explosions coming from her hands. In close quarters combat, Legion will have to watch out for her explosions. And if he uses long range attacks, she can block them with Earth Magic. Conclusion: Draw. Depending on how the battle beings, Adelina will either die quickly or Legion will be blown up.

'

Legion vs Izayoi: Legion will most likely use his Windigo form here, which means Izayoi's Refined Force Magic will be countered. Legion also will attempt to use his serrated blade, but Izayoi can counter this with his Creation Magic. I think Izayoi and Legion are equals here. Conclusion: Draw.

Seems right, legion best advantage is his ability to ambush a target, as he is still learning ways of becoming stronger. But if his tribe was still around he would have surpassed Thanatos by now.

Legion can't sneak up on Kishi, he has his ensory links and it will allow him to sense a powerful mage within 25 meters. Even farther of a range if his chains are extended.

Actually legion’s magic power is weaker than a normal mage, he simply absorbs the mana from the beings he kills. So yeah a strong mage like Irina or Thanatos won’t be able to sneak up on him. That doesn’t mean a skilled mage with the proper abilities can’t beat them.

[Xichung]

And being a master of ambush would mean Thanatos has showed him how to mask his mana like in hxh

[Asardia]

I forgot to mention Asteria in the prediction post. She can sense people coming near her, so even if she can't sense mana, she can Seismic Sense or Air Current Sense to detect them. If is Legion touches her, she can copy his powers. Even if it's only 5 minutes, that would be more than enough time to take out Legion. He can try, but I don't see him winning.

So if they touch touvched cross wouldnt she get the insanity too that comes from his abilities

From what I can see, Cross had the abilities for years, and I'm assuming he slowly went insane. If that's true, then Asteria shouldn't get the insanity since she would only have access to it for 5 minutes, and there's not much she would really want to copy anyway. She can't absorb personality traits like Rogue can, so I don't see her having the same issues Cross has

nope, he went insane due to a failed curse ability he was adding to himself. so she would gain insanity from it since it was an ability

nope, he went insane due to a failed curse ability he was adding to himself. so she would gain insanity from it since it was an ability

You describe it as a "failed curse ability". Since whatever he tried to do failed, it negatively impacted his mental state. If the curse succeeded, and caused insanity as a side effect, then I would understand. But if Asteria comes into contact with Cross, she'll know of his abilities, which means that even if for whatever reason, the "failed curse" causes insanity, she would not use it. Imitation's main benefit is that she can imitate someone's powers. For example, she can copy Caimus' Forseti and Fire Lance techniques. However, if she doesn't use them, then she won't deal with the side effects of the techniques (such as energy drainage). Similarly, if Asteria doesn't use the "failed curse", then she won't go insane. Besides, Asteria will probably realize that Cross isn't the most stable individual, so she will put the two together and not use the technique. Asteria bumps into people all the time as she walks down the streets of Kalingway, but she doesn't use the abilities that she has access to. Without actually using the abilities, Asteria won't deal with its side effects. I may have poisoned food with me, but if I don't eat it, I won't get food poisoning.

I Well you didn’t say she can pick a certain abilities out of someone’s kit, so this why I’m saying this cause you make it sound like she instantly gets their ability kit.

Oh right, I should clarify. Asteria has access to all of a person's abilities that she copies. So of course she would be able to choose what powers she wants to use. Rogue for example copied Wonder Man's powers, which includes flight, superhuman strength, and superhuman speed. Rogue can choose to fly or use superhuman speed. She has all of his abilities, but she picks what would be most useful in the situation. Same thing goes for Asteria.
