Character Tier: Intermediate

Character Type: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant,

Personality Description: Ragnara has a rather nasty disposition, in that she is rather unwelcoming to strangers and even more mistrustful towards them. It takes her a long time to become comfortable around with another, but even then she always keeps them at arms length. She does enjoy having a good time however, and is willing to share a drink with anyone she can stand, sometimes even those she can't. Her life experiences have taught her it is best to enjoy life to its fullest now, for who knows what tomorrow may bring. Giving her a fun-loving almost hedonistic life style, always living for the moment.

This carefree attitude to life sometimes extends or relationships as well. It also seems she has an iron stomach for heavy drinking, as it seems to have never affected her work. Ragnara also has a habit of talking to fast, or seemingly day dreaming at random intervals. Her time under the wing of Malcolm has helped in curbing her fiendish nature, though it is still present, resulting in a very self-serving lifestyle. Though she upholds herself by a strict form of morals taught to her by Malcolm himself. As a rule, Ragnara can be rather foul mouth when angered, while retaining a habit of not trying to explain things to others that seem obvious to her.

Class: Soulknife

Skills:
(Intermediate)Hand to Hand- Ragnara uses a form of Maenadairn martial art, called Cha Phoe Rai, very similar to Capoeira mixed with Taekwondo yet with one major difference. Instead of relying on kicks and elbow strikes alone, Ragnara can strike using the power of her mind as an extension of her will. As a soulknife she recognizes her own mind as the most beautiful—and the most deadly—thing in all creation. With this understanding and through extended practice, Ragnara has learned to forge her mental strength into a shimmering blade of semisolid psychic energy. Carabi is the fundamental movement in Cha Phoe Rai, important both for attack and defense purposes. It has two main objectives. One is to keep the Maenadairn in a state of constant motion, preventing him or her from being a still and easy target. The other, using also fakes and feints, is to mislead, fool, trick the opponent, leaving them open for an attack or a counter-attack with the style as a whole resembling more a dance.

(Low)Mental Discipline- Ragnara has trained her mind to gain mastery over her entire body and her mind’s own deepest capabilities. This allows her to resist psonic attacks with her own mental defenses. Ragnara can also attempt to memorize a long string of numbers, a long passage of verse, or some other particularly difficult piece of information. a Life time of self discipline and concentration allows Ragnarato spot a liar easily, as well as lip read at a distance thanks to her improved awareness. Ragnara can also probe an area as large as large as 100 feet around her for nearby beings and detect their presence, mindless beings cannot not be detected.

(Intermediate)Autohypnosis - With her iron will Ragnarais capable of ignoring most wounds and the pain they cause. The wound doesn't go away—it is just ignored through self-persuasion. Ragnara's mental discipline allows her to resist the effects and damage of traditional and potent poisons. Ragnaracan also use this discipline to control her flow of breathing to a near standstill, using her mental energies to fuel her body.

(Low)Physicality- Ragnara's own physical body is not that different then a humans, only being slightly more durable and stronger then a normal human. Their biology overall is very similar to a humans however, their skulls are much thicker and resistant to blunt trauma. Maenad brains are also far more evolved than that of a humans, capable of processing information as quickly as a super computer of modern days standards. Allowing them to easily solve complex math problems with astonishing ease.

(Intermediate)Speed- Ragnara has trained her body to peak performance much the same as she has her mind. This is further enhanced by her psionic powers, allowing her to sprint at speeds exceeding 280 mph for burst speed running using her powers only. Otherwise her normal running speed is just over 20mph.

(Low)Reflexes- Ragnara strict training regime and her own racial background grants her reaction speeds thrice as fast a normal human.

(Intermediate)Energy Anchor- Ragnara years of discipline in manipulating her Psychic energy, has allowed her to protect herself from many forms of lethal radiation or life draining powers.

Equipment:

(Intermediate)Boots of Crawling- These dark blue knee high boots allow a psionic wearer to instantly tick to almost whatever surface they're feet connect too. These boots will also allow the wearer to recover instantly from a fall and can absorb some damage from falling twice per day.

(Intermediate)Gloves of Grander- Ragnara dark blue leather gloves help amplify Ragnara's own Psionic powers. If she manages to grab hold of them with either gloved hand for a full turn, she manages to establish a connection to their mind using their neural pathways. Once done she can tap into their memories. Doing so she can selecvitly make her opponent forget a spell or spherical ability, meanwhile learning all of their capabilities and knowledge along with weaknesses (Undead and constructs are immune to this power). Ragnara can also clap her hands together to create a powerful psionic blast, a catapsi power, which blankets a 30-foot-radius area surrounding her in telepathic noise for 4 rounds. Each time other psionic characters within this range attempt to manifest a power, they must charge it an extra post in order to find enough focus. In short you need a prep to over come it.

(Intermediate)Collapsible disk- This disk resembles a small round thin metal disk the size of a large toonie coin 60mm in diameter. It is made of mylar, a metallized nylon, a material stronger than reinforced steel. It is retracted into a small portable disk hung at her waist belt for easy storage, the device unfolded into a saucer. Ragnara can unfold it large enough to stand on, using her psionic powers to levitate and fly. She also learned to use it as a shield, and cut objects at high speed. While flying it has a max speed of 300 mph.

(Intermediate)Psionic: Simply put, psionics is the art of tapping the mind’s potential. A psionic being is blessed with a form of innate ability that enables him or her to use mental power to achieve goals or perform tasks that non-psionic beings can only accomplish — if they’re even capable of doing them at all — by using gross physical skills such as brute strength or raw agility, or by using intellect or force of will as distinct from the natural power of the mind itself. A user of the soulknife technique can change psychic energy into shields, and, weapons. Users who have mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need. Ragnara has only learned enough to create minor weapons and shields.

Though Psionic Weaponry itself has many dangerous effects, including warping the minds of others, igniting pain sensors, destroying physical portions of the brain, and destroying psionic forms or astral projections. A soulknife cannot form a weapon and a shield at the same time due to the completely different functions of these types of constructs.

(High)Mind blade- At will a soulknife can create a semisolid blade composed of psychic energy distilled from his own mind. The blade is identical in all ways (except visually) to a short sword of a size appropriate for its wielder. Ragnara Kolbjorn can form these mind blades from her hands or her feet or even form elbows strikes. The blades can be broken; however, a soulknife can simply create another with a thought. The moment she relinquishes her grip on her blade, it dissipates (unless she intends to throw it or distills it from her feet/knees/elbows). A mind blade is preternaturally sharp, as it's edge is controlled by the wielder, it can cut through most objects on par with most monomolecular blades. It's sharpness however is controlled by the amount of prep used to form it.

(Intermediate)Throw Mind Blade- Ragnara can throw her mind blade as a ranged weapon with a range increment of 30 feet, traveling roughly 180fps. Whether or not the attack hits, a thrown mind blade then dissipates.

(Intermediate)Psychic Strike- As a soulknife Ragnara can imbue her mind blade or physical hits with destructive psychic energy. using this ability Ragnara can transfer up to 3 tons of force into a blow when swinging with the full momentum of her body found in Cha Phoe Rai. A psychic surge of pain also transfers through the opponents nerve system to their mind. Enough pain explodes within their own psych that they find it difficult to collect their thoughts for a short time, which may leave them open. Constructs, undead, and generally mindless beings are immune to this effect.

(Intermediate)Psionic Blitz- Ragnara is able to accelerate themselves to high speeds, often transforming herself into a destructive projectile of pure kinetic force in the process. Ragnara is able to utilize her psionic energies, creating an aura of invisible but tangible field of force which surrounds her turning her into a fast moving projectile sphere. Ragnara is then capable of smashing right through anything and any defense as long as it has less preps behind it. This power increases her land speed into 200 mph for two seconds, she can manifest this power with an instant thought, quickly enough to gain the benefit of the power lucidly, but unprepped it cannot go through any defense. It has a cool down of four post before she can retain the right frame of mind to use it again.

(Intermediate)Bladewind- Ragnara momentarily can fragment her mind blade into numerous identical blades, each of which strikes unerringly at a nearby opponent. Ragnara can create up to three dozen of these small blades all traveling roughly the same speed as their larger parent.

(Intermediate)Shatter- Once per day Ragnara can unleash a devastating blast of sonic energy in the from of a mighty shout. It is accompanied by a tremendous scream of rage. Shatter creates a loud, ringing noise that breaks brittle, nonmagical objects; sunders a single solid, nonmagical object; or damages crystalline creatures. Used as an area attack, shatter destroys nonmagical objects of crystal, glass windows, ceramic objects, or porcelain. All such objects within a 50-foot cone radius in front of Ragnara.

(Intermediate)Psychic Protection- Ragnara can form armor around her body shaping it out of raw psychic energy for protection resembling a semisolid invisible but tangible field of mental force. This armor can absorb most of the kinetic force behind a a blow. It can resist a hit from a 25 mm (25×137mm) M792, High Explosive Incendiary round point blank. Anything prepped can easily cut through it, it is also weak against continued fire even from small caliber rounds. Ragnara is able to form a shield or a field created from force-fields of psychic energy though these only protect in one direction. But unlike her Psychic armor, can be charged to defeat powerful attacks.

Strengths:
Fast and highly agile form of fighting style. Fusion of Force-Fields with physical combat make for an unpredictable combination. Quite capable of facing other Psionic's.

Weakness:
Continued use of her powers can cause a strain on her mind.
Lack of room to maneuver can spell disaster.
Cannot create psionic shields or armor at the same time as her mind blades.
Endurance no greater then Low tier beings.
Character History: (TBD)

Maenads are a race rumored to be wildly emotional, but perceived as extremely reserved by those who encounter them. In fact, both rumor and perception are true: Maenads have developed strict self-control as a means of holding their intense emotional turmoil at bay. On the rare occasion when a maenad loses his control, a flood of emotion rises to the surface, often to be released in acts of stunning bravery or violence. Maenads have a strong martial bent, useful for venting the passions they keep bottled up. Maenads know not the source of their spiritual anger, but legend has it that they were terribly wronged by a higher power in some distant time. Some tales suggest that the maenads were a race of bestial creatures who were able to contain their mad frenzy only after overthrowing their own deity.

Personality: Maenads seem discreet and calm, restrained and undemonstrative, unwilling to use a sentence when a word will do, and happier still with a gesture if words can be dispensed with altogether. To maintain a life in civilized lands and even (or especially) among themselves, maenads must practice a discipline of mental calm, lest the fury of their racial memories break forth.

Physical Description: Maenads are tall and wiry, standing over 6 feet tall and typically weighing around 200 pounds, with maenad males the same height as and only marginally heavier than maenad females. They wear the dark hair on their heads long and braided (and have no hair elsewhere on their bodies). Their skin is dusted with a peculiar sparkle, as of gem dust, giving them a striking luster in the right light. This sparkle is a natural component of their skin, which is flecked with bits of living crystal. Maenads possess grace and fine features, and are almost elven in their beauty. They prefer heavier clothing, and wear armor if it’s available.

-[Intermediate]Darligrov: A word of power passed down from his father and his father's father, you know the deal. It's a word of power that his family has held for generations, and Darligrov is a greater word of power if ever there was one.

Obviously a magical word it draws energy from the various flows of mysticism; Aether, Mana, Ki, Chi, Laylines, whatever you want to list on here it draws from it. It's not a specific deal, anything to do with a magical source and it draws from it.

First off is the fact that it's caustic to those of unjust heart, it burns to the touch. Like dipping your hand in a vat of strong acid it causes great pain and will permanently scar you if you try to touch it for too long.

Second off, it only picks up minute fragments of energy from a place with varying sources of power. This allows it to maintain a constant level of potency, rather than fluctuating or dissipating over time. Darligrov grants him only one power. Just one. The rest is all natural, baby.

Force manipulation. No, not The Force. Force, the kinetic transferal of energy based on acceleration and mass.
Upon activation, Darligrov bathes Kanitah in a series of calm auburn rings. Two around every part of his body; head(2), shoulders(4), elbows(4), hands(4), forearms(4), knees(4), feet(4), and chest(2). These rings multiply the attacks dealt by the part of the body they surround. Not like, multiplying the force, the rings simply travel after the blow and strike the target in imediate succession once the blow collides.

With no alteration a single punch can deliver three blows to a target for one instance, but with his hands he can take these rings and move them to other parts of his body. With a maximum output of 28x blows per instant if he puts them all on one part of his body. As with all things that give you more power, this takes time and he can only move them one at a time. (4 per turn.)

The potency scaling also effects grip and running speed, the more rings on his body in his feet and hands the more it works. In his hands it multiplies how much force you've got on what you are holding. If there are two rings, then it's as though there's three hands holding onto you. In his feet it multiplies the force of his footsteps, with two rings each step has the force of three steps, allowing him to move three times the speed that he normally would.

-[Intermediate] Peak Pundambayan Biology: Pundambayan's are a tough race of migrant workers on a planet with greater gravity and a harsher environment than humans. Each Pundambayan is born and raised until the age of 21 on their homeworld, Pundambaya 1, and once they reach 21 years they are sent to Pundambaya 2. Pundambaya 2 is a much more hospitable planet with lofty environments and a much weaker gravity. Every single person on the planet is comprable to a Superhuman, and Kanitah is the best of the best.

Having enlisted in the military before the age of 16 he was able to get formal training in the body and the mind. They made him stronger and faster than many men, and they taught him how to kill. They taught him everything that a military man needs to know, and that was still not enough. The military sent him to a more harsh world with 100 other men and women to survive for five years using only his skills and strength, and boy did he succeed. Of the 20 that came back he was the least wounded. If only due to Darligrov's granted powers. On his return journey his physical abilities on a world with Earth-like gravity were spectacular.

• Increased Strength: His strength training in greater gravity zones have increased his maximum ability to 10 tons lifting strength and 13 tons pushing strength. His punches carry enough force to send a car flying and rip a normal man in half.


• Enhanced Speed: Outside of high gravity worlds he is able to meet 60 mph running speed with ease. Traveling a mile a minute, in a literal sense.


• Highly Resilliant Skin: His exposure to high gravity and high temperatures have practically forged his skin to the tensile strength of studded leather. This allows for resistance to bladed weapons, as they don't pass as easily through the tough yet stretchy skin.


• Jump Height: Damn near capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound, a jump in an Earth-like gravity is 28 feet vertical. 64 feet horizontal.


• Advanced bone density: His bones are, of course, harder than human's bones. Easily comprable to those of a rhinocerous in durability.


• Increased Sensory Organs: Fun fact, in a heavier gravity everything moves slower. So his ears adapted to pick up on sound better, his eyes pick up movement 3 times faster than a human can, and his nose can pick up smells at 4 times the distance of your average human.

-[Intermediate]Military Combat Specialization: A full battery of martial arts, strength, and equipment training have given him the skills necessary to utilize any weapon to his advantage. Including his own body. Trained in two martial arts he has formed a unique fighting style that is equal parts brutallity and control, making every single punch count. Along with proficiency with any weapon in his hands, this makes him a deadly foe both armed and unarmed.

-[High]The Daligrov Engine: This backpack is actually much more than your average piece of storage, it is a machine full of a powerful mystical resonating crystal that picks up on magic a lot faster and efficiently than Kanitah can naturally. This is what gives him the potential to reach high tier abilities. With a flick of a switch the Daligrov engine secures itself to his back, how you ask? By boring into his flesh with three long drills and cementing itself to four of his ribs. The drills expand outward with wires and infest his very being, attaching to his nervous system and heart. This winding system of wires and metal are like a violent surge of pain throughout his body, and after he activates it he is left totally helpless until he can get back up again.

However, this pain is worth the incredible power boost that he gains from this grotesque invention.

The massive boost amplifies Daligrov's potential by 1 ring per body part, allowing for a 3rd addition to the force multiplication. Meaning that a single punch would carry not three times the force, but four times the total amount of power in one instance.

The metallic structures within also latch onto his musculature and skin, digging themselves in and enhancing their abilities. This allows him to have three times his original strength, giving him impressive physical strength and movement.

• Even further amplified physical strength: Capable of now lifting 30 tons of weight with his bare hands, and his push force is 36 tons now. A single punch can level large buildings and knock people through other people, shattering them on contact. There are now; head(3), shoulders(6), elbows(6), hands(6), forearms(6), knees(6), feet(6), and chest(3).


• Even further amplified movement speed: Once only able to travel a mile a minute, he can travel 3 miles in 1 minute. Capable of running at 180mph.


• Ridiculous jump height: The most amplified of these powers is his jump height, able to now jump almost 70 feet vertical and 160 feet horizontal.


• Superhuman Endurance: With his naturally leathery hide enhanced by metal that has spread through his dermis and skeleton he is able to withstand great forces, blades that could once cut through steel are slowed to almost a halt within his multi layered body. His bones can withstand the blast force of 2lbs of C4 ordinance now.

Physical Abilities- (Low) He is similar to a human with more mobility by around 10% but less physical strength and durability by about 15% then the average human. In fact he's pathetically weak, even among his own kind, often needing people to help open jars for him, for example. This is the bane of his existence, him never being able to get through certain child proofing locks and the like without an adult's help.

Intellect- (Low) Although smart, he doesn't know how all his technology works besides a very rudimentary level (pull the trigger, make energy pop out). Of course due to the schools he went to having more knowledge of the universe and it's workings so does he, but he never took any advanced courses because they made his head hurt. Just because there's more knowledge at his disposal doesn't mean his brain is any more adept at handling such complex things. He would do quite well in earth science courses, though, and is a fast learner compared to humans.

Weapon Training- (Low) He has training in all the weapons he has on him, but not any serious military training.

Telekinesis/Telepathic- (Low) His race is naturally telekinetic and telepathic, although in the later case only among members of his own race and at the distance of a couple of miles away. His telekinetic ability is strong enough to allow him to lift only as strong as his natural lifting ability but at a range of up to 87 meters and only if he can see it. People can struggle out of it just as easily as if he was physically grabbing them.

Head: (Low) White fluffy cap made out of fibers.

Body: (Low) Something like this. It can insulate his body and protect it areas with vast pressure differences if he also puts on a helmet.

Hands: (Intermediate) White gloves with small glowering pads on the fingertips. They record data upon touch into a small chip on the back of the hand. They are able to scan the entire object (no larger then the size of a typical building, in which case it would have to scan it in chunks) and builds a 3-d image of it as if it sent x-rays through the object. They can also scan so sensitively that it can read DNA and check for poisons, viruses, etc. All of this finer detail requires around 5 seconds to scan, while simple 3-d images of the larger structures can be done at a tap.

Feet: (Low) White knee high boots with a slight heel to them not enough to disrupt walking, and the heels are not at a point, more like just a elevated portion of the sole of the boot. They have small devices inside that, when clicking his heels against the ground, can allow for a discharge of electricity of up to 800,000 volts on the next impact such as a kick, but it does not have enough amps to be lethal. He could alter it to be more powerful if desired but he does not, especially if it makes it lethal. His natural walking can recharge the battery up to full in 5 minutes at a brisk walking speed. If he only recharges half that amount then the attack would just be 400,000 volts.

Stun Ray- (Intermediate) It fires off yellow glowing circles at speeds of 100 miles an hour that can stun a normal human at a distance of up to 12 feet away, armor having little effect against this unless magically protected or advanced shielding. If taken effect with a hit on the central nervous system then it will knock the target out for roughly a minute on it's default 1 shot every 5 seconds setting, although at full power can send them off to la la land for up to an entire hour. However, this shot requires a charge time of 20 seconds and overloads the gun so it can't be used again for that hour. Glancing blows (any hit not on the central nervous system), even at full power, would just numb the area for a bit.

Deflection Baton- (High) Glowing light blue energy comes out of the handle to form a baton with a length of up to 2 feet, but he can make it smaller if desired. It's capable of repelling almost any objects that touches it, physical or magical, as if the touching object has to fight against a powerful cushion of air, and it takes away 90% of the recoil that he would experience by taking the hit. Upon pushing a button it can act like the stun ray, but only within a 1 foot range that extends in all directions. Because it has to hit their central nervous system to take effect in knocking someone out, as long as he keeps it at a proper distance he will only have a numb arm for a couple of seconds.

Freeze Ray- (Intermediate) Capable of inclosing a human sized target in a layer of ice in 5 seconds of continued freezing. It leaves whatever is inside the ice layer both warm and alive, only being effected by way of having ice over their joints to prohibit maneuverability. He can fire continuously for a minute before running out of fuel, a special gas found in a round container at the back of the weapon. If you burst this container then everything instantly freezes within a 5 foot radius in an uncontrolled manner. Luckily the container can withstand the damage of all modern weaponry outside of powerful/lucky gunshots or stronger. It can be tampered with by intentionally removing a seal on it, which makes it go off with any sufficient impact, and can be detached from the gun to be flung like a grenade. He'd never use this against live targets because it would likely be lethal if immediate medical attention is not given.

Mechanical Lullaby- (Intermediate) A small device plays a series of high pitched notes when flipped on, and upon hearing it and focusing on it for 10 seconds will make you drowsy, and 30 seconds will put most people to sleep. It even works on him, so he has to be incredibly careful when he uses it not to focus on the sounds. He can flip the device back off before it's too late.

Marshmallow- (Intermediate) Appears similar to this but without the face or other coloring and glowing light blue pads underneath the wings. It's a device that can hover around and fly at speeds up to 100 miles an hour. He had stand on it to surf it through the air. Although levitation would seem to require a lot of energy, it never seems to run out.

Personal Deflection Shield- (Intermediate) A device as large as a backpack and worn like one as well. One turned on it activates the shield automatically upon high intensity projectile attacks. Basically, that means that anything gun related or stronger will trigger the shield while magical, melee, or weak ranged such as throwing a softball won't. It can withstand around three direct hits from bazooka rockets before failing. Even if it withstands an attack it will still lose energy, so even a bunch of pistol shots would eventually take it down. It can only recharge completely after 3 hours.

Cammo Emitter- (Intermediate) A device strapped around his abdomen like a belt. It bends light around his entire body, causing him to blend in to his surrounds. If he moves the image flickers and distorts. It runs out after 3 minutes of constant use and requires 10 minutes to completely charge.

Healing Shot- (Intermediate) A small gun-like device that can press against a wound and shoot in a healing agent capable of closing most wounds in a white foam in seconds, stopping the bleeding and sticking the tissue back together. This is only for emergency closure and should be used as a permanent healing method. A large would require using an entire vial, which he can then remove and insert another vial, of which he has three spares and one in the "gun".

Hacker- (Intermediate) It looks like a usb. The tip can meld into electronics and begin to cause them to go haywire or even turn to his command, but the process can be interrupted upon tearing the Hacker back out. It often takes 5 minutes to take command unless there was little to no protection software, and about 3 minutes to simply make it go haywire.

Invisible Pocket- (Intermediate) Wonder how he can store all of his tech in the weapons and item category? They can be sucked into a small device on his wrist in a flash of light and then phasing in or out of existence within 3 seconds, sending it too and form another dimension at the push of a button, capable of containing 8 different nonliving objects. He does not need to put the small devices into this that can fit in his pockets, which is the Mechanical Lullaby, the spare vials for his healing shot, and the hacker. He keeps one spot open in case he comes across something he simply must have.
