@Qia

Too late. It can never change. Our group will be known as BFC. 😂

[Estylwen]

The Best Friends Coalition?

[Qia]

The Best Friends Coalition?

@Estylwen

And somehow that's worse

[The Savant]

I like the BFC as Big Fat co-- (my perverted brain saw it as that...) but the best friend coalition is a great runner up!

I have updated Ezra's ability slightly.

Yume

Gyft: Yume

Ezra's Gyft transcended from simple sleight of hand tricks to full on illusions. It's rumored that Ezra's very appearance is a big illusion, but that may just be hearsay. He is able to affect anyone, as many people as are around him. He can affect sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste, as well as pain.

Ezra typically uses his Gyft to entrap someone during negotiations. If he feels the negotiation will go badly, he'll catch them in his Yume so they can't escape. Then he can toy with them as he pleases, unless they are strong-willed enough to see through the illusion. He has used his Gyft during fights to temporarily blind his victims before mowing them down as well. Victims who are under his Yume influence become frozen still, unaware of themselves.

The act of entrapping someone is as simple as someone being within his energy field of about thirty feet. Then, his energies take over that person, suffusing their brain with new energy signals that that the brain interprets flawlessly. Most are completely unaware they are within a Yume unless something odd stands out, like an unlikely circumstance. Ezra is aware of these things, however, and will keep a Yume as normal as possible to avoid suspicion.

He has no limit to how many people he can entrap, as long as they are within his energy field.

Limitations and Weaknesses:

The victim can try to leave the Yume if they notice something out of place, like if their skin is melting or if they're vomiting crows. These would be torture methods that Ezra would use. Then they can roll a 1d12, and if they are higher, they break free of the Yume. Then he is unable to perform another Yume for at least two posts. If they fail, they are unable to escape the Yume for another two posts.

He can only simulate a few conversations at a time before he can no longer catch up, which can tip off his victim that they're in an illusion.

If he physically or mentally traumatizes them, they take -2 on their rolls to escape.

[LanaStorm]

Buffing him before the final fight :P?

[Estylwen]

@LanaStorm I started visualizing Ezra's abilities a bit differently, so I had to update the sheet. ^^

[LanaStorm]

@Herald La phone call Kollab?

@The Savant

I mean he's the one killing people on live tv so

[The Savant]

Aye. The man gotta do what he gotta do.

He will not be doing anything for a hot minute tho so no one will see any of that for a little bit. He's out for at least a couple of GM posts of time progression.

Bella and Emilia could always visit. 😉 Sadly, they will be talking with Krish. Haha! 🤔 OR Jax disguised as Asterion.

@The Savant

The second one sounds most interesting (though I feel like Emilia would pick up on the difference). :P While Bella would just be like "I don't want to talk to the shrimp."

@Qia

I think Emilia would notice right away that something was wrong. 😂 She'd probably be like "He doesn't smell the same..." And the ear piece that Krish or Zarek would be guiding him on, or the odd behaviors that are totally different compared to the last interaction she had with asterion.

All the wrong things even if they look right. Uncanny valley style.
