Edited potential retool of Pablo's abilities:Theme: Pablo's Theme, instead of Hope, is now 'Taxation and Redistribution', or rather, the taking of resources to redistribute to either the state structure, or other sectors of society. Sounds ominous, maybe wrong depending on one's political and economic views, but...that actually benefits the story.
Pablo's Noble Arm is still renamed 'Pag-Asa Ng Mundo/Hope of the World', and he still refers to Hope a lot of times, but, that's in order to mislead people.
Rotes of the TaxmanTax Bracket: Light and Warmth - Light and Warmth are free for all, so they say, but people, depending on where they live, are denied even that. With this ability, Pablo can 'deduct' light and heat from a given place, making it colder and darker. Required for Conjuration: Psycho-Reactive Plasma and Force Fields.
Tax Bracket: Durability - The strength of an edifice is both a sanctuary for the just and a redoubt for the unjust. Would it not be better if the unjust were shaken out of their mighty fortresses and palaces? With this power, Pablo can 'deduct' the durability of an item, crumbling less tough objects into dust. However, this power affects Noble Arms strangely; they can give Pablo unlimited durability to tax, but do not lose any strength of their own. Required for Conjuration: Psycho-Reactive Plasma and Conjuration: Psycho-Reactive Force-Fields.
Tax Bracket: Motion - Everything in this world that can move, moves, but not everyone can travel the same speed. The rich have always been able to access superior means of travel, which is bad when those rich people include dictators, warlords, or just ordinary embezzling CEOs. With this power, Pablo can slow down a speeding object by taking its kinetic energy for itself. Required for Flight, as well as moving Psycho-Reactive Plasma.
Tax Bracket: Nature's Gifts - The vague wording is because this is actually a tax on
Health, and Pablo doesn't want to spell out that he can make another living thing unhealthy to make them healthier; that would get him killed. More to the point, it's generally - generally - immoral. So Pablo can take vitality and health from either 1.) Trees, which are very resilient creatures, and can give Pablo enough Health for him to heal others, or 2.) people with their own healing powers or have so much health that they literally can give unlimited tax. Required for anything involving Healing.
Tax Bracket: Luck - People say that wealth comes through hard work, that self-made men
prove that all you need is to work harder in order to become rich, that the world isn't divided into haves or have-nots, but haves and 'soon-to-haves'. Well, guess what? They're wrong. Even the willingness to work hard? That's neurochemistry, and neurochemistry depends on luck. So Pablo, either out of Justice or Spite, depending on your personal views, takes away a person's luck, with obvious reasons.
Note: This must be learned
in-game from sparring with Takumi. Also, kudos from Progenitus for giving the the inspiration!
Rotes of RedistributionConjuration: Psycho-Reactive Plasma - Pablo can create a substance which can change color, light, heat, and hardness depending on his thoughts, the upper limit being the light and heat of lava and the hardness of iridium, the lower limit being marshmallows or nightlights. This Psycho-Reactive Plasma can change shape into various other constructs, but contains the weakness that Pablo can conjure them only within sensory range, metaphysical or physical.
Basic Shield Aura - Pablo projects a basic shield around himself; said shield is a construct that he can move telekinetically and otherwise manipulate, allowing him to fly, float, or add speed and force to his movements. Color is most often Pink.
Wings of Light - Pablo manifests two Angel-like wings from his back, which can be used for additional flight, but are more often meant to intimidate, buffet objects like a blunt club, or sharpen themselves so that they can cut through steel. Colors are most often Pink, Purple, or Rainbow.
Rho Aias - Pablo can create a shield made up of seven flower petals made from light, which, again, is as strong as his willpower. You know the drill; it's colored Pink.
Bigsby's Giant Hand - A giant hand that can be used for punching, holding, and breaking things.
Imitation Object - Pablo can make a hard-light duplicate of an ordinary object, or even a Noble Arms, that has the same colors as the original, but upon touch, is easily detectable as a hard-light object. Useful for deception.
Enuma Eilish - Pablo can create a tornado of energy around his Kalis, and unleash said tornado as a blast of light at a target or group of targets. However, the power of said blast is dependent on 1.) how much hope Pablo has, and 2.) how much hope others are willing to give him with Willing Gift of Hope. Thus, depending on those two factors, Pablo's Enuma Eilish can be C+ Level or even A+. Again, depending on those two factors.
Conjuration: Psycho-Reactive Force-Fields - Pablo can create force-fields with much the same properties as the plasma, only they are transparent, and can allow air through.
Flight - Pablo can lift himself up by pushing on the Earth's magnetic field with a psycho-reactive field.
Healing - Pablo can knit together physical injuries, replenish blood, and undo physical damage and soothe disordered minds (though he isn't able to do more than that). However, he cannot bring back the dead.
Rotes of the ForbiddenAzkaban Contingency - Pablo, in the midst of despair, can create a field that sucks out the spiritual energy of Systems. This field can expand to one square kilometer, and allow for Pablo to attain enough power to destroy entire cities.
Has to be learned in-game.
