The techniques are the same for everyone and they're used separately or after one another. Your character can have one technique that is unique to them, that you create yourself. The style of this unique ability should be on theme with the Void. I'll list some examples:

Levitation (Short distances and heights).
Mutation (Induce mutation that turns a human or animal partially into a void being).
Telepathy (No control over whose mind you hear).
Possession (You enter the void and then exit into another person's body).
Reanimation (Draw matter from the void and insert into corpses).

So, it does have to 'make sense' and be 'on theme' with the void. Some techniques are more neutral, which is fine. But there is no swaying towards light or elemental magic-types.

@PriskSorry about this, btu i think I'm going to bow out. After thinking it over, I don't think I'll have the time or energy to be in an advanced Rp, not to mention that the character I had in mind doesn't seem like he'll fit too well in this world. Hope you all have a lot of fun with this, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

No worries. Thanks for letting us know! You're welcome back anytime.

Gotcha. Ok I wanted to be sure. I should have my sheet up later tonight

Okay, playing with a mystic who ends up acting as an agent for a mysterious entity in the void, essentially a cult priestess, but less creepy and more spy agent.

Also, she would create and control fog, which is a sorta hazy area, because while it's fog, it's also spooky and very Voidy. She would get these powers as being an agent for her entity, which styles itself as a god.

@Sypherkhode822
Ok, could you tell me more about this mysterious entity? Why does your character have a connection to it?

Fog as a technique is fine. It would have to be drawn from the Void, however. Your character creates an anomaly that allows this fog to seep through into the real world. So, there would be no control of it, just the ability to have it appear in an area. Is that alright with you?

I'm thinking that the entity would be a mysterious denizen of the Void that was known as 'The Hidden God' or the 'Eyeless God'. My character would have entered the Void near his domain as a child, and he took her under his wing, training her and turning her into an agent for his actions. The Hidden God has had a fairly extensive network built by now, he maintains over a dozen mystics, and has numerous cult cells across the world following his orders through the mystics. His actual desires remain unknown, though he has played a huge role in human politics. The Hidden God had given favors to the CIA during the Cold War in exchange for earning it a positive standing with the U.S government and the Division. It maintains a publicly known cult house in Berkeley, and often tries to indoctrinate college students with a New Age front. It's highest known membership is on the West Coast, though there is another cult masquerading as a protestant church in the Baltics actually run by the Hidden God.

The fog is originating from the layer of The Hidden God, and he ends manipulates it for the Mystic. Basically the Mystic opens the portal, and The Hidden God has full control over fog that enters through it. Things that The Hidden God can do with the fog include:

Shape the fog into rigid shapes, giving it weight

Direct the speed and direction the fog flows

Change the makeup of the fog, making it acidic or flammable.

My character would communicate with the Hidden God, expressing what she needed while he in turn would shape the fog into what she requested.

This is a nice idea, but I feel it strays too far away from the Lovecraftian influence of the setting. Any interaction with cosmic beings in the Void would result in either suicide or madness. You also have to think about the story of the roleplay, and the person that recruits the characters. Why would he/she contact a person with this kind of connection to the Void for what is an effort to contradict the Void? But, I have a compromise, as I don't want to give you a blunt no.

So, your character could have seen this cosmic being during their time in the Void as a child, but there was no communication or interaction of any kind. The fact that your character saw it and didn't gouge their eyes out is extraordinary enough. After that, whatever cult that worships this particular cosmic being came in contact with your character, and they trained your character. However, whatever the cult have suggested that this being has said or preached is in fact their word, not the being's. The cult has named it 'The Hidden God', not the being itself. Beings of the Void have no interest in human affairs. There is no communication other than cryptic visions, images, and dreams that people with telepathy can pick up.

As for the fog, it will have to stay in its basic form and function. When you character uses the ability, the area is filled with thick, dark fog from the Void. It is quite powerful in itself, as it can make you nearly invisible with the right clothing and movement. The magic in this roleplay is based on Bloodborne, which in turn has pretty low-ley abilities that aren't even classed as 'magic'.

How does this sound?

@Safton
I've read your character sheet. I like the prelude a lot. It is believable and solid. I'd say that Decker will be on the front lines of the coming events. You also have a great opportunity to play off of his PTSD. Coming in contact with secret world again, at the level it will in this story, it could surely trigger memories of his first encounter. Make sure to add some trivia as well!

@Durandal
I've read your character sheet as well. The prelude was very intriguing and rich. I like the fact that he is a bit older, with more experience than you typically get in roleplays. Could you take the sheet out of the hider? That would be splendid. Also make sure to add something to the trivia!

Thank you. :)
I did want to aim for someone a bit older exactly for that reason. It gives a different avenue for interaction that I haven't explored too much. I'm glad you liked the prelude. :)

And of course I'll remove the hider, not entirely sure why I put it in there in the first place. :P

@Prisk, much appreciated! I'll be sure to add some Trivia very soon.

Well, good news is that I'm finally settled in and got my laptop set up. So I can get the CS knocked out proper now. Expect it done today, sure as sure.

@Eisenhorn It's like you're my future self posting...

@Prisk So does the cult gain immunity from void abominations? If not, if someone is killed by one how would they interpret it? Their God has forsaken them?

Also, I have an idea for a power that lets my character phase in and out of his world and the void. Any limitations you would put to that? And he can also see in 4 dimensions.

@Bishop
Nobody is immune to void beings, except the Mystic child that the story is centered around. Cultists want to harness the power for themselves rather than worship some being that wants nothing to do with them. Surely there are fanatics, but they would probably considered a death as a necessary sacrifice.

That sounds like the common technique called 'Phasing'. It's in the first post. What would that 4th dimension be?

@Bishop What if I am, and you just don't know it yet?

@Prisk Got him banged out, finally.

Question how plausible would it be to go into the void and come back possessed by a void being?

4th dimension as in that parasyte in "Stranger Things" which had the ability to traverse through dimensions. That creature was a 4 dimensional being.

By 4D site I imply that my character can see through objects and all around him in a 360° view sphere. Basically an all-seeing power in ever direction. This includes seeing invisible spirits, other beings and of course peek through the void. All this is done at will. Have you seen that Constantine movie with him seeing dead people all around? Or that Dr. Strange movie seeing spirits and spirit parasyte leeching of humans.

And about the 360° view. My character literally carved out his eyes and went half mad upon entering the void realm and after a prolonged stay. So he doesn't use his eyes to see hence not limited by them as if he were to see 4D with his eyes. He sees 4D with his "inner eye". So he can choose to see what you ate for breakfast, then a second later focus on seeing through you and the house behind you, then he can choose to see inside the house or even behind it.

Just dropping by to say that I am still here - I hope to get something up tomorrow.

Got CS up.

CS is up, but still WIP, will finish it tomorrow!

It'll certainly be interesting.: a former member of the Division, yet supportive of the possibility of a Void helpful to humanity. Certainly a situation that could make for good interaction with the rest.

I like the idea of possession through the Void. Think I'm gonna go that route. Could be useful for stealth and for combat.
