I thought about this but who's saying she knows how to use them once she has them? I mean it's cool to have temporary powers but she has no idea how to use them It's like you have a car but don't know how to drive it.
xD you have a point, I could have Void Wolf make some awesome.wishes about warping the minds of their enemies so that reality was bending before them at her own will. XD
I think it's a good time to start the mission demon...

People always think that it's deadly when people throw knives at others but it takes quite a bit of luck and aim for that to happen. Shurikens are far better throwing weapon than a knife since it's pretty much a circular blade. Throwing knife, unless you are super strong, would not have the mass or the required velocity to kill at all. Injure? Probably, but most of the time it would just bruise because the pommel hit the target or the knife just bounces off the clothing. Knives are not good throwing weapons compared to things like spears or shurikens.
That's not exactly true. If an amateur does them, sure. But with enough practice you can pretty much gauge the spin of the knife and make sure it always hits your target blade first, plus there are different techniques of throwing them. It's useless against even rudimentary armor or an object in a pocket, but you're forgetting we're in a superhero RP and Rachel has superhuman physicality. From one rooftop to the next is a bit of a stretch to ask for instant kills or even dead accuracy, but I was assuming if Rachel was on the roof of another building and had to use her knives to stop someone escaping, it would be aimed at ziplines or whatever.
She has an energy dagger, a few trick knives aren't that out of the ordinary. Plus she grew up as a mercenary, I could give her a gun or something, I guess.

Though that´s the thing. more than 50% of the time, a knife isn't going to kill at all due to the amount of wind resistance a knife would have unless it's a specially made one, not to mention due to the fact it goes end over end and the further it goes, the less velocity it will have by the end. Infact, they shouldn't be treated as a killing weapon unless you plan on stabbing. Better to use it to distract the person. HE is definitely going to flinch and hesitate and then use that opportunity to attack. Hell, that's what shurikens were mostly for, not for killing

That's why I asked how the fuck is Rachel going to do anything from the roof unless I have her use a gun. Throwing knives are only feasible if she was on the same rooftop as the guys coming out, and that would put her in Sayaka's field of fire. Plus she could very kill someone who stumbles back and falls off the roof, and don't forget she's a lot like Damian Wayne in the respect that both were raised to kill and then taught not to on the job - a rooftop is the last place you want her to be.
I think you might have misunderstood that I planned on using the throwing knives as a ranged weapon. They're maybe going to be used at ten meters, tops. Like if she has to put someone down in a corridor or something. Besides, we're not supposed to kill so they're actually the perfect weapon in close quarters. A guard that busts into the room can be taken out quite quickly with a knife to the leg, especially the tendons or knees. Plus poison/drugs are pretty effective on throwing knives too as long as you nick the skin enough to draw blood.
Speaking of knife throwing skills...
Name: Nychta Drakesh
Alias: The Ebony Princess a.k.a Black Fox
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Abilities/Skills:
- Martial arts: To try and make up for her lack in physical strength she practices martial arts.
- Freerunning: Nychta practices freerunning to get around faster and less obvious.
- Spying: Basically just spying, nothing more, nothing less.
Powers:
- Shadow manipulation: Trigon's heritage gives her the ability to create, control and solidify shadows and darkness and use it as she wishes.
- Electricity manipulation: Nychta can create and draw electricity from the air and use it to attack or defend herself.
- Blood manipulation: Nychta can manipulate the blood in her body, use it as a weapon or temporary defense mechanism. When she ingests the blood of another person she can control his/her blood temporarily and use it to heal wounds.
- Bone manipulation: Nychta can manipulate her own bones, regenerate them rapidly and use them as weapons outside her body.
Weaknesses:
- Her shadows are easily stopped with light or holy attacks. They dissipate in harsh light and are weaker during the day, making her easier to be attacked during the day.
- Her electricity can be drawn away with conductors, blocked with stone or ground and easily blocked when it's aimed at somebody. It's also harder for her to draw electricity in areas like deserts and she can't attack with lightning in places with lots of iron.
- Her blood can be used as a weapon, but if she loses it she weakens very quickly. Even though her blood regenerates quicker than a normal human's, she is vulnerable in a fight when she uses her ability.
- Nychta's bones regenerate rapidly, which is in most cases a good thing. In a fight it's a bad thing for her as well, because she can't extract bones from her body when they're broken. When Nychta's bones are broken they regenerate at such a speed that her broken bone is pushed away, sometimes into her organs.
- Nychta can be easily contained by certain runes, spells and enchantments. Basically all the items able to contain Trigon's power can bind her.
Equipment:
- Hidden blades: Two hidden blades in black cuffs around her arms.
Personality: Having had quite a messed up childhood, Nychta is pulled back, cold and harsh, has a tendency to lash out at others and avoids social interaction as much as possible. She has trust-issues running deep into her system, even to the point where she won't even eat something if somebody else brought it for her. Her trust-issues are for humans and super-humans alike, so she leads a pretty lonely existence.
Nychta has a very low self-esteem and will often react to compliments with a gloomy, sarcastic remark. In stead of acting shy and embarrassed when praised, like most people with self-esteem issues do, she reacts with rage and distances herself even more from whoever came that close to her. Like I said, a lonely existence.
If there is one thing Nychta truly hates it's people picking on those weaker than themselves.
If Nychta encounters somebody that picks on others, she will often lash out at them and stand up for the weaker person. In that sense, Nychta has a very large weak spot for children and will manage to awkwardly socialize with them for limited periods of time.
If you finally get Nychta to warm up to you, to befriend her and learn to trust her despite her awkward and cold behavior, you will have a friend willing to give her life for you any day of the year. Despite how she acts, all Nychta really wants is to have some friends, but her own mentality won't allow her. She'll be a tough nut to crack, but is an irreplaceable friend once you manage to open her up.
History: Nychta's original home was in a different dimension, some alternate world from this one. Her world was peaceful and prosperous, until one day Trigon lay his eyes on the world. He entered her world and took over a body, entered the royal castle and killed the King, taking over the throne by force. The Queen, Elysabeth Drakesh, was kept alive to ensure the people would follow his rule and accept him as new ruler. To ensure his rule would stand he impregnated the Queen and Nychta was born about a year later. She aged slower due to the way time flowed in her world, aging about half as fast as normal.
Nychta was send to this world when she was only 2 years old, 13 years after Trigon was defeated, because her mother wanted to make sure Trigon would not get her under her influence if he ever returned.
Nychta was taken in by an unknown magic user and raised by her, being taught about her origin when the woman found out about it and trained her. She taught her basic things; reading, writing, drawing and fighting. She was taught to use her powers as they revealed themselves and taught about the world. Even when she was given everything she desired, Nychta felt like she missed something. She became more secluded over time, less social and pulled back, even though her adoptive mother raised her with love and care.
When she was 12 their house was attacked by Church of Blood members and her caretaker was killed by the men. Nychta escaped her home and has been wandering around ever since. She took up the task of protecting people under the alias Ebony Princess, sometimes referred to as Fox because of the large black fox she always has with her.
Appearance:
Nychta wears a black hooded coat, reaching to the floor. The coat has a small piece of fabric in the collar which she can pull up to cover the lower half of her face. She wears a black corset and a black skinny jeans with black boots, hence her name.
When she's outside during the day she often wears a black ruffled skirt with white stockings and short boots, a black tube top and a short vest.
