The Conduit
Ijok’s existence in the physical plane is assured by a magical artifact that conducts his mind and energy from spiritual plane. The conduit itself is a grapefruit sized ball of crystallized mana – a substance created when a mana storm in the spirit plane is strong enough open a rift to the physical dimension. Such crystals are not an incredible rarity, but few can connect to one by themselves, as that either requires highly advanced technology and deep knowledge of how both dimensions interact, or enough raw power to enter the raging storm itself and establish a link with the crystal while the rift is still open.
Being the connection between him and the physical plane, it allows him to transfer a certain amount of his own energy through it, and also doubles as an eye, allowing him to see the full electromagnetic spectrum (with the option to filter out certain wavelengths) - while the rest of his sensory information is received from a different source. He also has the natural ability to perceive energy moving through the spiritual plane, effectively detecting a majority of the existing magical signatures.
Breaking it into more than one part would sever his connection, and this isn't too hard of a task for somebody of comparable strength, the ball being just as hard and only slightly less brittle than diamond.
Kzich
Kzich is the physical manifestation of Ijok’s personal energy – the result of filtering raw mana through his spiritual body, making it the most straightforward of his powers to use. By gradually pushing this energy into the physical plane through his conduit, he converts it into Kzich, and as long as it remains within Ijok’s own sphere of influence, the substance remains stable and can be freely manipulated by him. However, creating Kzich is a rather lengthy process, taking several days to generate about a ton; plus, there is a maximum amount that he can hold at once, prompting somewhat limited and cautious use. The aforementioned sphere of influence is an extension of Ijok’s spiritual body, propagating from within the conduit and measuring about 8 meters in diameter; it is essential for the creation of Kzich, and any amount of it caught outside of this area immediately dissipates back into magical energy. Moreover, direct contact with the conduit itself is important as well, as only then is he able to take control over the substance; otherwise, the substance would remain intact, but completely unusable until it touches either the conduit itself, or any other mass of Kzich that has contact with it. This is because the aura emanated through the conduit is too weak to support the amounts of energy required for the process of manipulation, whereas direct contact allows for a much wider channel, thus, higher energy transfer.
When the Kzich remains stabilized, though, the range of manipulations he can perform is rather impressive: he can detach and reattach parts of it will, decrease its density, turning it into a gas expanding as far as the sphere of influence allows, or increase it to the same level as lead, measuring at around 10 g/cm3; likewise, he can change its hardness, either making it comparable to boron carbide, or slightly softening it, in favor of the substance being tougher and less brittle, such as steel. Its structure can also be changed by Ijok, shifting between amorphous and crystalline, or on a larger scale, between bulk, porous, fibrous and etcetera. Finally, he can telekinetically move the substance around, at a rate of 3 m/s, regardless of mass.
However, there are certain aspects of his Kzich that Ijok cannot control: its combustibility and electrical resistance. At temperatures of 1500 celcius and higher, it starts burning, slowly whittling down his mass, while something as hot as 6000 celcius could take out big chunks of his body, destroying dozens of pounds with a single swipe. And while his body does provide a certain amount of electrical resistance, he cannot make it completely insulating, half a million volts being strong enough of a current to spread across a whole limb.
While electricity does not damage the core itself, this can still be very problematic, as Ijok's combat ability is mostly granted to him by forming Kzich into strands of electroactive material - artificial muscle. While its performance varies over the forms and shapes he can take on, 150 m/s and 1500000 joules of force for striking speed, 5 tons of lifting strength and 100 m/s for running speed remain significant benchmarks, greater feats possible, but requiring a very specific body shape, focusing the entirety of his Kzich supplies on a single task. The muscles are controlled by electrical currents generated directly inside them, using the substance's own energy channels in place of nerves to conduct mana, which is then transformed into electricity. The currents are generally high amperage and low voltage, creating strong contractions, but never interfering with muscles other than the targeted ones. However, this ability can be weaponized, and in this case, Ijok can raise the voltage as high as 1000000 volts and the amperage as high as 100 amps, easily capable of boiling a normal human's insides.
The last function of Kzich is the sensory function: by saturating it with energy, Ijok can sense changes in pressure and vibrations passing through it, as well as perceive temperature by observing the kinetic energy of the molecules composing it. In combination with the core allowing him to perceive his surrounding visually, this serves as a replacement for all human senses but smell and taste.
Cognitive functions
Ijok has an incredibly high level of cognitive function compared to a human. His mental capacity allows for an astonishing degree of multitasking, even under the pressure of combat: once, he had been able to combat 10 weaker assailants at once, splitting his Kzich into 10 separate bodies to fight them all simultaneously - and even then, he wasn't put at his limit.
Magical Power
Being a rather powerful spirit, as evident by him successfully venturing into a mana storm in order to acquire his conduit, he can resist powerful magical influences by combating it with mana of his own. This means almost any attack that is based purely on magical energy, without having a physical form. A fireball wouldn't be effected, for example, but illusion magic, telekinesis, or pure energy blasts can all be countered by Ijok, more often than not, his mana supply being superior to that of his opponent.

OP
Name: Renko
Age: 24
Weight: 194 lb
Height: 5" 10'
Kzich: Kzich is a form of arcane matter, created by filtering magical energies though one's aura, instead of directly manipulating them. This makes this technique easy and fast to learn, requiring only basic knowledge of applied magic, while also holding great potential even for the more experienced wielders.
In Renko's case, his Kzich comes in form of glossy black ceramic, the closest analogue to its properties being boron carbide, with only a single major difference, that being it's very low friction coefficient, making the ceramic very slippery. It has a high degree of arcane impermeability, meaning that mundane means of establishing magical connections with the material will fail, which translates into Renko's inability to control his Kzich after it has formed; however, he can manipulate it's growth.
He can materialize it within a 5 meter radius of himself, shaping the ceramic into various constructs - however, this requires roughly 2 seconds of prep time, and the amount he can create in one go is limited to half a cubic meter, or 500 liters, after which he must prepare again. This is due to the fact that channeling energy through his aura, which is how Kzich is produced, causes stress to build up, and at a certain point, his energy channels collapse, breaking the spell. They do recover in a fraction of a second, but Renko still has to restart the Kzich creation process, requiring him to go through the prep time again.
The rate at which he can produce the Kzich tops out at 100 liters per second - a chunk slightly bigger than his own body; the speed at which it expands - or grows, whichever wording one may prefer - peaks at 25 meters per second, while the force that the materializing particles exert reaches some 20,000 newtons - enough to crack concrete or move a nearly 2 ton chunk of ceramic at max speed.
Also, a certain peculiarity exists thanks to Kzich being a byproduct of his aura: within two inches of his body, Renko's aura is exceptionally strong, and this allows him to bond the ceramic to himself, creating an attraction force of about 4000 Newtons - not too powerful, taking into consideration that a a strong enough human could overcome it, but still useful on certain occasions. Additionally, he can also materialize the Kzich right inside this area of his aura, meaning that he can create a growth of ceramic that moves along with him, rather than being tied to its expansion speed.
Crocodile Fire: with this spell, Renko has the equivalent of a bottomless flamethrower just at the tip of his fingers, able to generate a stream of napalm reaching as far as 150 feet. It starts at about two inches in diameter and is powerful enough to bounce the napalm off walls, reaching enemies behind cover. The liquid is chemically ignited, containing a pyrophoric compound - triethylaluminium - which Renko can add or remove at will, allowing him to produce the napalm in an unagitated state if need be. Moreover, that is not the only utility that tinkering with the mixture's composition can yield: the burn speed can be modified as well, by reducing the amount of thickener, which makes the fuel burn faster, with more heat and exhaust - in its most volatile state, it is fit to be used as fuel in a combustion engine.
Physical Capabilities: Renko has always recognized the body as a powerful weapon, continuously furthering its vigor throughout his life. While a well-muscled body contributes greatly to his might, he far surpasses its natural limits through synergy with magic, bolstering metabolic processes and reinforcing the skeletal and muscular structures. The ATP molecules within his his body are enriched, releasing vastly more energy during muscle contractions; neurons fire off faster, putting his reaction speed at 0.05 seconds; and naturally, Renko is robust enough to withhold the strain of superhuman strength without tearing tendons or fracturing bone. Deadlifting 2 tons - four times the world record for a normal human - is child's play for him, as is catching up on a cheetah, his fastest sprint clocking out at 75 MPH.
Minor Magical Abilities: while some know him as a ruthless mercenary, Renko's works, often under a pseudonym, have appeared in medical journals. Having studied the application of magic in medicine, he is well familiar with common with healing techniques - and while contrary to popular belief, they aren't applicable in combat, there are a few acquired professional traits that can be of use.
Such is his ability to perceive one's aura: being of utmost importance in both diagnosing and treatment, focusing on a person's magical imprint can also allow him to easily track them down in combat, picking them up within a 20 meter radius. A direct line of sight is not necessarily required, but nevertheless, obstacles still can interfere with his view, this effect being more pronounced the further the distance is.
Certain knowledge can be inferred from from analyzing one's aura, but the more his opponent deviates from the human species, the harder it becomes.
Another of his acquired traits is a minor degree of resistance to malevolent energies and hexes, Renko having a basic understanding of their workings and being able to counteract their negative influence. Against an amateur, this can even mean complete immunity, but in most cases, he is only able to mitigate the effects.
Body Armor: covering his entire body is a peculiar looking suit of fibrous armor, covered from head to toe in metal hooks, ridges and grooves. Seemingly useless at first, their true purpose is revealed directly in combat, where these elements of punkish decor hold together a suit of ceramic plate armor made of Kzich, its distributed over Renko's body, rather than weighing down solely on his shoulders and head.
To ensure that bludgeoning does not turn him into a human slushie, sloshing around in its own ceramic cup, the cushioning effect of the fiber is enhanced by a shear-thickening fluid, absorbing a fair amount of the force that comes through: pistol caliber bullets achieve no penetration at all and a warhammer strike from your ordinary Joe would hardly be felt at all.
The helmet provides him with eye protection, in form of a plastic laminate visor and a built in respirator; the visor, in particular, being very large, as to not obscure his view at all - if needed, Renko can simply add a ceramic mask on top, to cover up where its defense is lacking.

Backstory
WIPOP
Name: Gigue
Age:32
Height: 7'4"
Weight: 292 pounds
Occupation: General Security Specialist
Tall and robust, Gigue carries himself with the demeanor of a champion, shoulders unfurled and chest barreling at all times; even his hair complements the noble visage: a light blond color, tied into a ponytail reaching down to between his shoulderblades. His everyday attire consists of a white tuxedo, crimson shirt, a white pair of trousers and a black tie; when on duty, or simply on the streets, he lets his armor take place of the shirt.
Physical ability: Gigue is abnormally strong, surpassing the limits of the normal human body with his deadlifting record of 2200 pounds, thanks to his already impressive muscle power being augmented by Ki training. However, everything else about him seems rather tame in comparison: he certainly is agile, fast and robust, but not incredibly so; while capable of fighting on even ground with well trained martial artists by virtue of his skill and dexterity alone, Gigue's gargantuan might still remains his trump card.
Aura of Hyperarmor: while greatly beneficial, enhanced physical strength was only secondary in his Ki training: the main goal was to learn the Hyperarmor technique; a spell, which allows him to summon a protective aura over the surface of his skin. It is can completely negate humongous amounts of damage, standing up easily to shotgun fire, warhammer strikes and even cannonballs; however, for all its potency, it is just as limited, the protection lasting for only about half a second; and afterwards, it cannot be used again immediately - the spell puts intense strain on his Ki channels, Gigue having to mend them first.
This can be done relatively fast with the aid of magical amulets, but still requires a certain amount of concentration: specifically, he has to clasp his hands together in front of his chest, with the amulet held in between the palms - this allows to most efficiently utilize its power - and enrich his Ki, while directing it towards the damaged channels. This process take from start to finish only about 3 seconds thanks to Gigue's training - which is rather manageable even in combat.
The aura itself works much differently from conventional armor; or even a physical object, for the matter of fact. It moves together with Gigue's body, yet there is absolutely zero force transfer - the aura does not ever actually touch his skin, hovering just a millimeter above. That is due to the aura being fixed to his own Ki system, instead of the physical body, and any force acting upon it is instead met by the far superior resistance of his spiritual energy; as a result, Gigue cannot be even moved or slowed down while the aura is active. Another noteworthy detail would be that the entire aura is a singular unit of energy - in other words, rather than being broken down into a myriad of bonds, the entire volume of energy contained within is shared by each and every particle, meaning no attack will ever penetrate until the aura is entirely drained.
Body Armor: as a more permanent alternative to his Hyperamor, Gigue wears silk and leather armor, covering all of his body, save for the head, hands and the feet. The silk is tightly woven into a thick jumpsuit, almost impenetrable to light arms fire: it can stop a .45 revolver shot at 5 yards, the bullet leaving only a light bruise on his body. The leather armor is worn on top, providing protection from melee weapons; though, unlike the silk jumpsuit, it consists of many stiff pads stitched together, and since it is so inflexible, it isn't used to cover the crook of his elbows or knees. Both are painted a metallic sheen to absorb less light and keep their temperature comfortable to the wearer.
His shoes are also rather tough, but are made of thinner leather; their tips, however, are plated with metal, as well as the soles, making his kicks a notch more painful and damaging. Metal also sees use in his head protection - an oval steel mask, painted white, with just two holes for the eyes, covered with a thin, transparent film, and a filter over the mouth, consisting of wide metal grating, cloth, and activated charcoal.
Brass knuckles: a pair of steel knuckledusters, made a perfect fit for his large hands. Gigue hadn't been born clenching a sword - but his fists were always there when he needed them, and with things as they were, the man grew to be much more accustomed to good ol' pugilism, rather than weapons. His skill in hand-to-hand combat far surpasses that of his armed fighting, and so, simply having a harder fist became the
natural choice for him.
Throwing Knives & Ceramic Bombs: more akin to tools, rather than serious weapons, the knives and bombs lets Gigue keep his opponents busy as he advances into punching range; or do the same, but instead, making sure his clients escape safely, while at it. Both are still vicious against unprotected flesh, easily piercing it and even shattering bone. The knives have sharpened blades, leaving stab wounds in their target, rather than just puncturing holes, and each weighing 1.5 pounds, they can stick handle deep into soft tissue. Overall, Gigue carries 6 of them.
The ceramic bombs consist of three layers: an explosive core; a layer of smoke-producing fuel; and a hard ceramic shell. Rather than exploding on impact, the bombs work in an old-fashioned way: by lighting a fuse, which burns for 5 seconds before reaching the core. Upon explosion, the ceramic shatters, creating a cloud of shrapnel, and the fuel follows, spreading in a wide radius and covering it with thick, mildly noxious smoke as it burns. Gigue carries 3 of them around and an additional 2 smokebombs with soft shells and weak explosive charges, meaning that they can be used without any harm to any bystanders or allies.
Miscellaneous Items: a small talisman, with a ruby in its center, enchanted to aid him the meding of his Ki; a gold plated lighter to light his cigars and fuses; cigars; whiskey in a metal flask; bandages and proper disinfectants; and lastly, a flask of oil, with a label painted on in order to not mistake it for whiskey.

Metal also sees use in his head protection - an oval steel mask, painted white, with just two holes for the eyes, covered with a thin, transparent film, and a filter over the mouth, consisting of wide metal grating, cloth, and activated charcoal.
Brass knuckles: a pair of steel knuckledusters, made a perfect fit for his large hands. Gigue hadn't been born clenching a sword - but his fists were always there when he needed them, and with things as they were, the man grew to be much more accustomed to good ol' pugilism, rather than weapons. His skill in hand-to-hand combat far surpasses that of his armed fighting, and so, simply having a harder fist became the
natural choice for him.
Throwing Knives & Ceramic Bombs: more akin to tools, rather than serious weapons, the knives and bombs lets Gigue keep his opponents busy as he advances into punching range; or do the same, but instead, making sure his clients escape safely, while at it. Both are still vicious against unprotected flesh, easily piercing it and even shattering bone. The knives have sharpened blades, leaving stab wounds in their target, rather than just puncturing holes, and each weighing 1.5 pounds, they can stick handle deep into soft tissue. Overall, Gigue carries 6 of them.
The ceramic bombs consist of three layers: an explosive core; a layer of smoke-producing fuel; and a hard ceramic shell. Rather than exploding on impact, the bombs work in an old-fashioned way: by lighting a fuse, which burns for 5 seconds before reaching the core. Upon explosion, the ceramic shatters, creating a cloud of shrapnel, and the fuel follows, spreading in a wide radius and covering it with thick, mildly noxious smoke as it burns. Gigue carries 3 of them around and an additional 2 smokebombs with soft shells and weak explosive charges, meaning that they can be used without any harm to any bystanders or allies.
Miscellaneous Items: a small talisman, with a ruby in its center, enchanted to aid him the meding of his Ki; a gold plated lighter to light his cigars and fuses; cigars; whiskey in a metal flask; bandages and proper disinfectants; and lastly, a flask of oil, with a label painted on in order to not mistake it for whiskey.

As a descendant of the Sabal bloodline and one of the most veritable inheritors of their tradition, Vos'sto-orge has comprehensive knowledge of all the various schools of magic - his chosen specialization, however, is conjuration: the conversion of pure magical essence into physical constructs. Said school of magic has an incredibly broad range of applications by definition, as it is often the underlying mechanic of many a spell: for example, a fireball can be represented as a construct that converts said magical essence into fuel and thermal energy; and Vos himself has full access to its versatility. However, combat spellery requires extensive training, and for said reason, it is usually restricted to a compact and meticulously composed deck of under half a dozen mastered techniques.
Such it is in Vos' case as well, with the additional limits imposed by GCL forcing to further shrink their number, leaving only a single core technique - the Magesteel arsenal - together with a couple supplementary spells.
This technique's two main uses are having constant access to a wide arsenal of weapons - both melee and ranged - by means of their manifestation through magesteel construct summoning; and the second is cloaking oneself with the smoke said weapons break down into when dismissed. Combined, they can yield an aggressive and highly unpredictable fighting style, which is supplemented by his additional abilities in Vos' case.
The weapons are uniformly composed of magesteel - a magic construct analogue of ordinary steel - rather than a combination of materials, the issues of balance and durability being resolved by complex internal structure consisting of hollows, lattices and porous sections alike: hard to manufacture, yet easy to manifest within a summoned weapon. As result, they function identical to their mundane counterparts.
The process of summoning itself is honed to perfection by Vos, occurring within tenths of a second. Before the complete construct manifests, first, a wire frame emerges out of his hands, probing out the surrounding space: it can move freely through low-pressure gases and liquids, but upon encountering a solid, it dissipates and cancels the spell. The reason to this is that the resistance of the environment can prevent said constructs manifestation, and while it can push matter out of its way, the force with which it does so is limited.
The constructs are largely autonomous at that point, but ultimately, they are still bound to Vos and require a considerable part of his operational energy supply; as result, it is too taxing maintain more than one at a time, and Vos does so only with a select few pairings of weapons.
Upon dismissing a weapon, the construct instantly breaks down into a powder and expands to to 2-3 times it's original size as energy from the magesteel's atomic bonds is released, creating a dark grey cloud that stays lingering in place for 3 posts, before breaking down into ambient energy. It can obscure any movement behind itself, due to sheer density; for the same reason, it is also very inert and hard to blow away.
There is no delay enforced between dismissing and summoning, which exactly is what allows Vos to swap weapons on the fly; however, rapid swapping can start depleting his resources, preventing him from summoning more than 3 sets of weapons in a single post.
Camouflage: this spell allows Vos to blend in with nearby clouds of magesteel smoke, creating an aura surrounding that determines the density of the veil and turns his silhouette the exact same shade of grey as it is, by absorbing portions of the reflected light. The denser the smoke, the harder he is to notice with camouflage active, keeping him unseen within an arm's reach at its thickest, as long as he stays motionless.
Withdrawal: utilizing the same mechanism as his camouflage, this is a trap spell that activates upon contact with a living being, attaching a light-sapping aura to them. It is cast using magesteel smoke as a carrier: through direct contact, it will saturate a football sized volume of smoke and condense it into a disk shape, roughly the size of Vos' hand. Said spell will linger for as long as the smoke remains, floating in place, and dissipate together with it.
The aura it releases upon being triggered darkens the target's vision by sapping the incoming light. Said reduction in luminosity is mild, perhaps, turning summer daylight into a late autumn evening, yet it is still sufficient to cause dilation of the pupil in most targets - which sets them up for the spell's second stage. For three of the opponent's posts, counting activation, it will collect light, and on the fourth post, it will release it in a bright flash, completely surrounding its target. What sets this apart from most similar spells is that it exploits the difference in the light sensitivity of the caster's and the victim's eyes: while blinding to the recipient, due to their dilated pupils, any bystander will only flinch at most.
Disperse smoke: acting to bring the haphazard scraps into a uniform shape, this spell calls all of the currently active smoke towards Vos' casting hand, condensing it into a tiny ball, with the smoke's duration becoming refreshed as it comes in contact with the caster's aura. For a single second, it will remain compacted, allowing to toss or plant it before internal pressure bursts the pellet, expanding into a 4000 litre volume of smoke - enough to fill up a sphere two meters in diameter. While creating a smoke-filled space large enough to hide a full-grown man, it has it's drawback in the thinning of the smoke, which, in process, is usually dispersed over an area much larger than it initially occupied. Thus, it is rare that the smoke retains an impermeable thickness, considering that even the largest of weapons in Vos' arsenal leave no more than half-a-thousand litres.
Smoke clone fakeout: exploiting the fact that Vos' camouflage blends in perfectly with the smoke, this spell takes an imprint of his aura, copying the stature and clothes that it permeates to form a clone out of the smoke and send it dashing in a given direction. Said phantom is quickly beaten flat by air resistance, becoming naught but a cloud after several meters of travel, nevertheless, serving its purpose well, both as a means of distraction and of propagating the smoke.

Add:
+Air thickening for trapping & stronger shockwaves
+Runes for remote control crystal growth in a given area
Quebra's body is the result of intense and strict training, fueled by the desire to sculpt it in image of an ancient, herculean sculpture and embody the ideal it represents. Robust and leaning more towards the stocky rather than the lithe side, his muscle is well pronounced, yet bears a more subtle outline, as opposed to a bodybuilder's chiseled form, with its impressive bulk showing that it is built for function as well. Reaping what is sown, he has strength, speed and stamina on the brink what is humanly possible, putting out a 28 mph sprint speed and 800 pound deadlift - together with flexibility and reaction speeds on par with the best of fighters. Standing at 5'7", he weighs in at 210 pounds with his heavy build - most of it being densely packed, granite-toned muscle.
Part of him has been turned into living crystal - and by none other than Quebra himself, aiming to perverse his body at it's peak performance and beauty. The process is arduous and long, spanning over the course of many months, and thus, so far, only his limbs have been drastically changed, legs crystallized up to the middle of the thigh, arms - from fingertips to just above the elbow. Through reinforcement of the crystal's bonds and a decrease in density, they have been made to weigh no more than originally, adding complexity to the process.
Slightly less noticeable is the skin covering the rest of his body: usually pale white, it'll faintly sparkle in bright lighting, as it is saturated with tiny crystals that give it a rough, calloused texture and noticeably improved resistance to cuts - something that makes using glass for armor a more sensible of an idea than expected. Underneath said skin, however his body is still flesh, blood and bone.
A closer inspection of his limbs shows that they aren't uniform chunks of rock, but rather, that they have their overall bone and muscle structure preserved, bone being replaced by crystal, and muscle - by a mesh of a green-hued transparent solid and layers of tough sinew, resembling laminate glass in structure; important to note, the outermost layer of it, where skin would be, is crystal. Blood vessels, on the other hand, have thinned out and migrated inside the sinew, together with nerves, which have had their numbers greatly reduced, resulting in lower sensitivity. The durability of said structure is such that a machete would barely pierce half an inch deep, while snapping the bone itself require putting it in a vice and coming down with a sledgehammer smash; additionally, the heat resistance and electric conductivity both sit at about the same level as tempered glass - unless a current reaches the sinew, sandwiched between the millimeter thick crystal layers.
While called crystal, the material replacing the muscle is in fact neither, constantly alternating between a crystalline and amorphous state. The reason behind this is that said process changes the material's dimensions, expanding or shrinking the solid to closely emulate the workings of a muscle, electrical current and chemical reaction substituted by Quebra's own aura being used to manipulate the solid's state. The output is vastly superior though, his grip strength enough to dent steel and crush untempered iron, while calves provide greater momentum control, creating a much more stable stance and allowing for quicker, sharper, extremely dynamic footwork. Their effect on his other skills is less defined, but it can be safely said that the power of his crystalline muscle contributed to Quebra's speed and strength records; moreover, they tire at a rate exponentially slower than their organic counterpart.
Ki: for all his active abilities, Quebra has a single pool of regenerating Ki: starting off at 10/10, it is consumed on the post an ability is activated and starts regenerating on the first post that he doesn't spend any Ki - in other words, doesn't activate any abilities. The rate at which it regenerates starts off at 1 and increases by 1 for each consecutive spent without using Ki, creating a progression of 1-2-3-4 points of Ki regenerated per respective post, amounting to a total of 10 over 4 posts. The regen rate is reset whenever Quebra spends his Ki.
Body Hammer: originating from the perfect synchronization of body and aura Quebra had to achieve in order to being the transformation of his body, this technique employs a resonance between muscle tension and minute oscillations of the aura to amplify both and launch a shockwave from his body, its power far surpassing what his magical aptitude alone could produce.
In its most basic form, it creates a localized shockwave launched in response to the combination a signal from the mind and the flexing of muscle, originating from just above the skin, within the area of the muscle itself, and with power proportional to its strain. Thus, if Quebra were to tense his whole body as hard as he could, it would produce an omnidirectional pulse, sending out massive amounts of force, yet dispersing it over an equally large area, resulting in great pushback, yet low damage potential.
In order to increase it's combat potential, the Body Hammer has been supplemented a conduit technique, which allows to pull energy from all over his body into a much smaller area, drastically increasing the resulting pressure. The end result, however, is less powerful than one would expect due to energy loss occurring during transportation, the farther a muscle away from the shockwaves origin point, the less of an increase in power it yields. Due to this, an peculiar dynamic in the amount of force can be observed, with the torso, for example, delivering stronger pulses due to a higher concentration of muscle mass than the limbs.
The conduit can be applied to the entirety of the body, or only to part of it, in order to decrease the cost; additionally, it can also distribute the energy between several locations at once, the total amount unlimited. One existing restriction would be the size of the shockwave's origin point: the smallest area Quebra trained its use for is the surface of his fist, unable to use the conduit for any lesser size.
By the use of the the conduit and flex of the muscle, said shockwaves can be divided into three categories: no conduit, entire body; conduit over part of the body; conduit over the entire body. The latter two can be further broken down into full torso (an area covering the entire from or back of it), focused torso (condensed into the smallest possible area), fist and foot shockwaves, indicating the shockwave's point of origin.
No conduit, entire body costs 3 Ki to launch and produces an omnidirectional wave traveling for about 4 feet before dissipating. Point blank, it is enough to knock down a person 160 pounds in weight; at an arms length, it would make the stumble a couple feet backwards.
Conduit over part of the body costs 3 Ki as well, and creates a more focused blast, which is capable of propelling itself up to 7 feet away from the origin point. Point blank, the full torso blast can push a 280 pound person down to the ground; focused torso blast delivers the equivalent of a mean teep kick; fist hits with the power of a hard jab and foot is comparable to a snap kick.
Conduit over the entire body costs 6 Ki and offers the most powerful shockwaves at Quebra's disposal. Their effective range stays the same, but the blast's power dissipates less over distance. Point blank, full torso can fling 400 pounds off of him; focused torso hits like a ferocious, wound-up sledgehammer strike; fist impacts with the full force of a heavyweight's cross and foot dumps the energy of a roundhouse into its target.
It is also possible for the Body Hammer to be used as a means of propelling objects - Quebra himself included - but there is a certain point at which the shockwave can't accelerate something any faster. This happens due to the fact that it dissipates over distance, and the faster an object accelerates, the sooner it exits the blast's range. For a full body conduit focus torso blast, said effect reaches its equilibrium at 300 grams accelerated to 120 m/s, marking the upper limit of its power.
Crystalbending: a prerequisite to the process of crystallizing his own body, the creation of base solid itself in a form independent of his being was a technique learned by Quebra as well. Using the crystalline parts of his limbs as conduits, he can do so at combat-efficient rates, shaping various constructs at a whim - a feat impossible with the weak external aura produced by his flesh. The full extent of this power includes growing the crystal, sending cracks through it and fusing pieces together, or with the crystal of his limbs; the latter two - cracking and mending - only require that part of the crystal construct be placed within the aura, Quebra able to conduct the impulses used to create said effects through the material.
Activating this ability, Quebra spends 2 points of Ki on the same turn, but can continue using it for 3 turns in a row without paying, including the one on which it had been activated.
The growth must originate from the surface of Quebra's crystalline bodyparts and can be manipulated within an area extending half-a-foot away from it in all directions; said areas can overlap, creating more space for larger objects to be created. As soon as he wills for it, the crystal starts to appear - its rate of growth, however, is inversely proportional its quality, density and durability dropping the faster it forms.
The quality to speed ratios have three major benchmarks: first grade is the most durable, but the slowest to create; second retains maximum density, but sacrifices durability for speed; third is the fastest, but also the weakest and least dense.
The specifics are such:
First grade takes two whole seconds to make a fist-sized chunk of it and has the toughness and hardness of quartz glass, with a density of 4 g/cm^3 - or, fours times that of water, a little over half of steel.
Second grade can give quadruple the amount in the same span of time, creating the same fist-sized chunk in half a second, and retains all of the aforementioned characteristics - however, its crystalline lattice is riddled with imperfections and weak points, making it much more prone to shattering.
Third grade doubles the speed of the previous grade, but halves the density, as a result of it forming a porous, corral-like structure. The decrease in density is the sole factor that makes it the weakest, no further changes to the crystalline lattice occurring.
ADDENDUM: the 'living' crystal in Quebra's body is of a different composition and cannot be grown at such rates; however, the two crystals can be combined in order to patch up damage, albeit, still resulting in lower effectiveness of the crystal's muscle action.
Pressurized growth: by directing additional Ki into the growing crystal, Quebra can generate a continuous surge of force, pushing it through solid matter and allowing to break apart objects by piercing them with the crystal. Capable of generating forces within the thousands of newtons, a thin spike can generate enough pressure to puncture tempered steel within seconds. The exact amount of additional energy required is 3 Ki per turn, and it must have the regular crystalbending already active as a prerequisite.
The technique has its drawbacks in the fact that it has to be used on a fixed target, as it achieves its power through a constant pressure applied over time, rather than an instantaneous spike; and its inability to affect the body of a sentient creature, as the crystal's growth is stopped by the aura of their lifeforce.
Liquid armor: to keep his painstakingly crafted body on display at all times, rather than wearing bulky armor, Quebra sweats it out of his skin in form of a transparent, sticky and tarry substance with highly potent defensive properties. Said substance is a shear-thickening liquid, quickly solidifying in response to impact, which turns it into a crystalline, allowing to further absorb incoming force by shattering; moreover, it has the supernatural power to disperse force with incredible efficiency as it solidifies and shatters - if struck in the chest by a spear, the substance would harder almost over his entire torso, while shattering in about a 4 inch radius around the point of impact, as he force is carried from bond to bond; if hit by something with a larger surface area, the force will be carried out over an even larger surface.
The resulting degree of protection is enough to stop a sledgehammer strike to the body without any damage to Quebra, almost no force transferred at the cost of the armor shattering all over the entirety of his torso, a multitude of thinner fractures running along the portion covering his limbs. Such efficiency is partially due to the sledgehammer's large surface area, however: weapons with smaller impact points, such as axes, flanged maces, crow's beaks, swords and spears will deal more localized damage to the armor and carry over enough force to penetrate and deal a certain amount of damage to Quebra himself; the severity of it depends on the momentum of the impact, less tip-heavy weapons, such as a longsword, leaving only papercut wounds, while a clean two-handed thrust from a spear could go up to an inch deep.
The activation cost is 3 Ki, regardless of the area being covered - the whole body, or just a palm's size - and it takes about 2 seconds to reach the maximum thickness of 3 millimeters; at said volume, it reaches a weight of about 25 pounds when covering him head to toe.
As an auxiliary power, Quebra, at no cost, can transform parts of the armor into the same sort of crystal grown from his limbs, maximum toughness - the main reason to do this may be the fact that the liquid provides no heat or electrical resistance, unlike the crystal; however, in this form, it cannot adhere to any part of the body but the crystallized limbs. Said crystal is fully susceptible to his crystalbending and can be made thicker, at the cost of weighing him down even more.
All Quebra wears to combat is a black leather loincloth with a pouch in front and a thin metal groin cup underneath; and a blackened steel Secutor helmet, worn to intimidate and remove the need to cover his head in the sticky, viscous liquid usually used by him in place of armor.
A predominantly hand-to-hand fighter, the only weapon he carries with him into combat is a rope and leather sling 2 feet in length, kept in the loincloth's pouch.

+Runes for remote control crystal growth in a given area
Physical Characteristics
Quebra's body is the result of intense and strict training, fueled by the desire to sculpt it in image of an ancient, herculean sculpture and embody the ideal it represents. Robust and leaning more towards the stocky rather than the lithe side, his muscle is well pronounced, yet bears a more subtle outline, as opposed to a bodybuilder's chiseled form, with its impressive bulk showing that it is built for function as well. Reaping what is sown, he has strength, speed and stamina on the brink what is humanly possible, putting out a 28 mph sprint speed and 800 pound deadlift - together with flexibility and reaction speeds on par with the best of fighters. Standing at 5'7", he weighs in at 210 pounds with his heavy build - most of it being densely packed, granite-toned muscle.
Part of him has been turned into living crystal - and by none other than Quebra himself, aiming to perverse his body at it's peak performance and beauty. The process is arduous and long, spanning over the course of many months, and thus, so far, only his limbs have been drastically changed, legs crystallized up to the middle of the thigh, arms - from fingertips to just above the elbow. Through reinforcement of the crystal's bonds and a decrease in density, they have been made to weigh no more than originally, adding complexity to the process.
Slightly less noticeable is the skin covering the rest of his body: usually pale white, it'll faintly sparkle in bright lighting, as it is saturated with tiny crystals that give it a rough, calloused texture and noticeably improved resistance to cuts - something that makes using glass for armor a more sensible of an idea than expected. Underneath said skin, however his body is still flesh, blood and bone.
A closer inspection of his limbs shows that they aren't uniform chunks of rock, but rather, that they have their overall bone and muscle structure preserved, bone being replaced by crystal, and muscle - by a mesh of a green-hued transparent solid and layers of tough sinew, resembling laminate glass in structure; important to note, the outermost layer of it, where skin would be, is crystal. Blood vessels, on the other hand, have thinned out and migrated inside the sinew, together with nerves, which have had their numbers greatly reduced, resulting in lower sensitivity. The durability of said structure is such that a machete would barely pierce half an inch deep, while snapping the bone itself require putting it in a vice and coming down with a sledgehammer smash; additionally, the heat resistance and electric conductivity both sit at about the same level as tempered glass - unless a current reaches the sinew, sandwiched between the millimeter thick crystal layers.
While called crystal, the material replacing the muscle is in fact neither, constantly alternating between a crystalline and amorphous state. The reason behind this is that said process changes the material's dimensions, expanding or shrinking the solid to closely emulate the workings of a muscle, electrical current and chemical reaction substituted by Quebra's own aura being used to manipulate the solid's state. The output is vastly superior though, his grip strength enough to dent steel and crush untempered iron, while calves provide greater momentum control, creating a much more stable stance and allowing for quicker, sharper, extremely dynamic footwork. Their effect on his other skills is less defined, but it can be safely said that the power of his crystalline muscle contributed to Quebra's speed and strength records; moreover, they tire at a rate exponentially slower than their organic counterpart.
Magical Ability
Ki: for all his active abilities, Quebra has a single pool of regenerating Ki: starting off at 10/10, it is consumed on the post an ability is activated and starts regenerating on the first post that he doesn't spend any Ki - in other words, doesn't activate any abilities. The rate at which it regenerates starts off at 1 and increases by 1 for each consecutive spent without using Ki, creating a progression of 1-2-3-4 points of Ki regenerated per respective post, amounting to a total of 10 over 4 posts. The regen rate is reset whenever Quebra spends his Ki.
Body Hammer: originating from the perfect synchronization of body and aura Quebra had to achieve in order to being the transformation of his body, this technique employs a resonance between muscle tension and minute oscillations of the aura to amplify both and launch a shockwave from his body, its power far surpassing what his magical aptitude alone could produce.
In its most basic form, it creates a localized shockwave launched in response to the combination a signal from the mind and the flexing of muscle, originating from just above the skin, within the area of the muscle itself, and with power proportional to its strain. Thus, if Quebra were to tense his whole body as hard as he could, it would produce an omnidirectional pulse, sending out massive amounts of force, yet dispersing it over an equally large area, resulting in great pushback, yet low damage potential.
In order to increase it's combat potential, the Body Hammer has been supplemented a conduit technique, which allows to pull energy from all over his body into a much smaller area, drastically increasing the resulting pressure. The end result, however, is less powerful than one would expect due to energy loss occurring during transportation, the farther a muscle away from the shockwaves origin point, the less of an increase in power it yields. Due to this, an peculiar dynamic in the amount of force can be observed, with the torso, for example, delivering stronger pulses due to a higher concentration of muscle mass than the limbs.
The conduit can be applied to the entirety of the body, or only to part of it, in order to decrease the cost; additionally, it can also distribute the energy between several locations at once, the total amount unlimited. One existing restriction would be the size of the shockwave's origin point: the smallest area Quebra trained its use for is the surface of his fist, unable to use the conduit for any lesser size.
By the use of the the conduit and flex of the muscle, said shockwaves can be divided into three categories: no conduit, entire body; conduit over part of the body; conduit over the entire body. The latter two can be further broken down into full torso (an area covering the entire from or back of it), focused torso (condensed into the smallest possible area), fist and foot shockwaves, indicating the shockwave's point of origin.
No conduit, entire body costs 3 Ki to launch and produces an omnidirectional wave traveling for about 4 feet before dissipating. Point blank, it is enough to knock down a person 160 pounds in weight; at an arms length, it would make the stumble a couple feet backwards.
Conduit over part of the body costs 3 Ki as well, and creates a more focused blast, which is capable of propelling itself up to 7 feet away from the origin point. Point blank, the full torso blast can push a 280 pound person down to the ground; focused torso blast delivers the equivalent of a mean teep kick; fist hits with the power of a hard jab and foot is comparable to a snap kick.
Conduit over the entire body costs 6 Ki and offers the most powerful shockwaves at Quebra's disposal. Their effective range stays the same, but the blast's power dissipates less over distance. Point blank, full torso can fling 400 pounds off of him; focused torso hits like a ferocious, wound-up sledgehammer strike; fist impacts with the full force of a heavyweight's cross and foot dumps the energy of a roundhouse into its target.
It is also possible for the Body Hammer to be used as a means of propelling objects - Quebra himself included - but there is a certain point at which the shockwave can't accelerate something any faster. This happens due to the fact that it dissipates over distance, and the faster an object accelerates, the sooner it exits the blast's range. For a full body conduit focus torso blast, said effect reaches its equilibrium at 300 grams accelerated to 120 m/s, marking the upper limit of its power.
Crystalbending: a prerequisite to the process of crystallizing his own body, the creation of base solid itself in a form independent of his being was a technique learned by Quebra as well. Using the crystalline parts of his limbs as conduits, he can do so at combat-efficient rates, shaping various constructs at a whim - a feat impossible with the weak external aura produced by his flesh. The full extent of this power includes growing the crystal, sending cracks through it and fusing pieces together, or with the crystal of his limbs; the latter two - cracking and mending - only require that part of the crystal construct be placed within the aura, Quebra able to conduct the impulses used to create said effects through the material.
Activating this ability, Quebra spends 2 points of Ki on the same turn, but can continue using it for 3 turns in a row without paying, including the one on which it had been activated.
The growth must originate from the surface of Quebra's crystalline bodyparts and can be manipulated within an area extending half-a-foot away from it in all directions; said areas can overlap, creating more space for larger objects to be created. As soon as he wills for it, the crystal starts to appear - its rate of growth, however, is inversely proportional its quality, density and durability dropping the faster it forms.
The quality to speed ratios have three major benchmarks: first grade is the most durable, but the slowest to create; second retains maximum density, but sacrifices durability for speed; third is the fastest, but also the weakest and least dense.
The specifics are such:
First grade takes two whole seconds to make a fist-sized chunk of it and has the toughness and hardness of quartz glass, with a density of 4 g/cm^3 - or, fours times that of water, a little over half of steel.
Second grade can give quadruple the amount in the same span of time, creating the same fist-sized chunk in half a second, and retains all of the aforementioned characteristics - however, its crystalline lattice is riddled with imperfections and weak points, making it much more prone to shattering.
Third grade doubles the speed of the previous grade, but halves the density, as a result of it forming a porous, corral-like structure. The decrease in density is the sole factor that makes it the weakest, no further changes to the crystalline lattice occurring.
ADDENDUM: the 'living' crystal in Quebra's body is of a different composition and cannot be grown at such rates; however, the two crystals can be combined in order to patch up damage, albeit, still resulting in lower effectiveness of the crystal's muscle action.
Pressurized growth: by directing additional Ki into the growing crystal, Quebra can generate a continuous surge of force, pushing it through solid matter and allowing to break apart objects by piercing them with the crystal. Capable of generating forces within the thousands of newtons, a thin spike can generate enough pressure to puncture tempered steel within seconds. The exact amount of additional energy required is 3 Ki per turn, and it must have the regular crystalbending already active as a prerequisite.
The technique has its drawbacks in the fact that it has to be used on a fixed target, as it achieves its power through a constant pressure applied over time, rather than an instantaneous spike; and its inability to affect the body of a sentient creature, as the crystal's growth is stopped by the aura of their lifeforce.
Liquid armor: to keep his painstakingly crafted body on display at all times, rather than wearing bulky armor, Quebra sweats it out of his skin in form of a transparent, sticky and tarry substance with highly potent defensive properties. Said substance is a shear-thickening liquid, quickly solidifying in response to impact, which turns it into a crystalline, allowing to further absorb incoming force by shattering; moreover, it has the supernatural power to disperse force with incredible efficiency as it solidifies and shatters - if struck in the chest by a spear, the substance would harder almost over his entire torso, while shattering in about a 4 inch radius around the point of impact, as he force is carried from bond to bond; if hit by something with a larger surface area, the force will be carried out over an even larger surface.
The resulting degree of protection is enough to stop a sledgehammer strike to the body without any damage to Quebra, almost no force transferred at the cost of the armor shattering all over the entirety of his torso, a multitude of thinner fractures running along the portion covering his limbs. Such efficiency is partially due to the sledgehammer's large surface area, however: weapons with smaller impact points, such as axes, flanged maces, crow's beaks, swords and spears will deal more localized damage to the armor and carry over enough force to penetrate and deal a certain amount of damage to Quebra himself; the severity of it depends on the momentum of the impact, less tip-heavy weapons, such as a longsword, leaving only papercut wounds, while a clean two-handed thrust from a spear could go up to an inch deep.
The activation cost is 3 Ki, regardless of the area being covered - the whole body, or just a palm's size - and it takes about 2 seconds to reach the maximum thickness of 3 millimeters; at said volume, it reaches a weight of about 25 pounds when covering him head to toe.
As an auxiliary power, Quebra, at no cost, can transform parts of the armor into the same sort of crystal grown from his limbs, maximum toughness - the main reason to do this may be the fact that the liquid provides no heat or electrical resistance, unlike the crystal; however, in this form, it cannot adhere to any part of the body but the crystallized limbs.

Appearance

Abilities
Standalone Powers
Clones: incredibly versatile, this ability allows Pris to create forcefield constructs that mirror his appearance and are controlled by his mental command, effectively summoning an ally to his side for a short period of time. There are many important nuances to this power however, which define the way it is used.
First of all, the nature of the forcefield itself must be explained.
It is a purely magical construct, with certain physical properties differing from ordinary matter: the reason behind this is a so-called unified energy supply. In normal matter, energy is distributed between discrete molecular and atomic bonds - in the same piece of matter, one group of bonds may break, while the other will stay perfectly fine. However, within a magic forcefield, all particles share the same supply of energy, meaning that no single bond may break or be otherwise strained without every other bond experiencing the same effect; the resulting effect is what one could call perfect dissipation, the clones either imperceptibly 'deflating' under the force of an impact, each and every bond compressing, or instantly disintegrating when the limit of their energy supply is exceeded.
This energy limit is roughly equal to 3500 joules, which amounts to slightly more than a powerful cross from a heavyweight or a roundhouse kick. What must be noted is that not only incoming attacks subtract from this total, but so does the reaction force of the clone's own strikes. If one were to damage it just before the clone hit, then the attack's power would be limited by the remaining durability, the clone likely disintegrating before delivering its full payload.
And as a second limiting factor, the clones are unstable and have a limited amount of lifetime, due their magic nature, time between activation and expiration being two seconds.
The clones originate from a multi-faceted link to the body, mind and aura.
A combination of aura and body define most of their physical parameters: their weight, speed, strength and joint flexibility mirror Chindal's; the clones manifest the same clothes and equipment, as his aura seeps into those items over time, allowing to copy them.
Clones pass through eachother and through Pris at all times, even stationary mode. Holes for drawing in air. 2 for 3 regeneration rate.
!!!CLONES HAVE LIMITED MOVEMENT TIME AND UNLIMITED FORCEFIELD DURATION
Tether: integral to his fighting style and thus one of his most practiced powers, the tether is Pris' only magic ability that requires no activation gesture, cooldown or resource cost. Deep ingrained in the mind, its use is perfected to the point that he controls it almost as part of his body, activating, deactivating and changing the spell's properties on the fly.
As for the tether itself, it is a physically intangible magic aura, correlating with a single point in space and creating an attraction force between it and Chindal's body. The activation of this spell is instantaneous, as is the deactivation or manipulation of it.
When the spell is initially activated, this point appears inside the current location of his center of mass, with the attraction force too, being concentrated towards that spot and acting progressively weaker on other parts of the body the further away they are - this is to ensure that the body will still be able to rotate around it, center of mass acting as a natural pivot point and the tether only strengthening this influence. This grants additional stability, not only securing his body in place, but also counteracting centrifugal forces when performing powerful spinning moves, such as a roundhouse kick, allowing to both put more power into them and perform smoother, swifter transitions from one to another - such as turning the aforementioned roundhouse into a spinning back kick within the blink of the eye. This however, requires proper alignment: the tether point in fixed in space, and while the attraction force brings Chindal's body towards it, he can still move or be moved away.
However, some of its properties aren't fixed: namely, the power of the attraction force and its distribution. The power initially starts off at 1 to 1 equivalency to the gravitational force exerted upon Chindal, allowing him to levitate by jumping up and activating the tether; this can be scaled downwards or upwards to x0.5 or x2 the force. As for the distribution, it starts off with the force being predominantly directed towards his center of mass, meaning that he will rotate around it. Changing this so that the force acts with equal power over the entirety of his body grants even more stability, so that, for example, Pris can't be just tipped over and sent spinning head over heels while he's hanging in mid-air.
Tether retains most of its original properties, but becomes an intangible clone existing on the magical plane: meaning it always pulls every point in Pris' body towards a corresponding point in itself, and can move same like Pris. Can be used for momentum control or speeding up moves (Pris' own move lags behind and gets pulled,requires precise timing and concentration). Is similar to the clone teleport in regards to momentum control, but not quite. Desync is best idea ever: tether itself has no mass/momentum and can be freely moved, allowing for some crazy shit. Copy, stationary and unlocked modes for the tether's motions.
Add supercharge mode where the clone is locked into a position but starts expanding its upper acceleration limit so long as the position is held.

Forcefield Clones: this ability allows Pris to temporarily summon forcefield constructs that are shaped off his own aura: this enables them to mirror multiple aspects of his own body, ranging from size, weight and appearance - down to the clothes he's wearing, so long as his aura has had enough time to permeate them - to strength, speed and range of motion. Effectively, this makes them clones, save for a few qualities inherent to the forcefield and its functions.
The forcefield: the defining feature of this material is its ability to instantaneously distribute any incoming force and energy between the entirety of its component bonds and particles, via a special form of teleportation. In other words, unless the whole forcefield itself is destroyed, then no separate part of it will yield or be damaged, the construct capable of absorbing and recovering from any impact that falls under its threshold. By design, the forcefield is also made to be chemically inert and highly reistant to heat and electricity, making raw force or kinetic impact the most effective means of getting through.
Raw stats:
Joule and newton limit:
Heat limit:
Clones: rather than straightforward copies, Pris' clones are made from a uniform, hollow forcefield, imprinted from his aura - thus, borrowing shape from his body, clothes and any equipment worn long enough on his person. The same dicates the manner they manifest in: forming a shell that encapsulates his frame, it's surface hovering above by fractions of a millimeter, they either move in sync with Pris himself, or seem to peel away, passing through his body, as parts of them meld through his aura, flickering between pure energy and solid forcefield - the same mechanism letting them pass through eachother as well.
Their characterteristic much match Pris's own, as an actual copy's would: movement speed, mass, range of motion, physical strength.
Durability, however, is where they differ: being forcefield constructs, they possess 'infinite' hardness and an instant transmission of force between all particle bonds composing them, which in practice means that the clones cannot be deformed by mundane forces, and instead, will simply collapse and dissapate entierly if the upper limit of all of it's combined particle bonds is exceeded, whether it be by impact, thermal energy, or any other means of energy transfer. Moreover, the forcefields are a chemically and electrically inert substance, making them practically impervious to such elements. [refer to raw stats section for max durability]
Importantly, the clones only have a limited movement time, in which they can either sync up with Pris' motion, protecting and adding their power to his strikes, or executing mental commands - neurons firing off exactly as if Pris was to perform the action himself, yet transferred to the clone by an additional exertion of will, allowing fluent and nigh effortless control. Once the time limit is up, the clones simply freeze in place, turning into stationary forcefields that remain intact untill destroyed.

Gravity rider: generate joules from the potential energy of gravity interacting with his mass particles while retaining the original direction of the force's vector, allowing him to "ride gravity woo" and ue up the joules
virtual particles: defense, masslessness, attraction/repelling force
The crux of Bradley's physical power lies in a phenomenon known as 'virtual particles': manifesting in form of a magic force, they are made to emulate the properties of a real physical particle - mass, electromagnetic interaction - without actually having a tangible form. Moreover, said properties can be manipulated with precision, or even blocked entirely, creating mundanely impossible variations.
Tuned to produce them, Bradley's aura keeps his body constantly saturated with a dense lattice of virtual particles, merged with the molecules of his own body to endow him with a behemoth level of protection. Fine tuned to the task, they are unlike any conventional material in their properties: resistant to both heat and electricity, as a ceramic, yet ductile and tough, as mild steel. The mass is completely removed, leaving his weight at its natural benchmark to prevent such inconvenience as caving in the ground with every step.
One important thing to note is that the particles are synchronized with his bodily functions: as blood and electrical currents flow through the vessels and nerves, the particles temporarily phase in and out to prevent obstruction; the effect is so small in scale, however, that it has little consequence on his overall defense for all areas, except the brain - which is constantly permeated with electrical signals, making it perhaps his only significant weakspot.

Staring from the shoulders, Bradley's arms are completely replaced by a pair of robotic prostheses, with additional strands of artificial muscle and a metallic carcass extending onto his ribcage to keep them attached solid. Being the vessel of a mysterious magic artifact, they hold great occult power - but they also bear a distinct physical quality of their own, being heavier, far tougher and far stronger than what his flesh-and-bone arms were, while still sharing the boost of the virtual particles and ki. The upper layer of their plating is composed of a ceramic, beneath which is a steel casing which holds the muscle fibers, various pistons and locks, and a slew of tubing and wires connected to tiny gemstones encrusted within the likewise steel 'bones', said magic gemstones powering the arms, alongside with performing maintenance tasks, such as producing lubrication.

charging
Bradley can supercharge his aura by diverting energy from his arms, allowing to release it in a momentary burst that either boosts his Ki for a raw speed and strength increase, or unblocks the mass of the virtual particles, increasing his weight drastically.

Staring from the shoulders, Bradley's arms are completely replaced by a pair of robotic prostheses, with additional strands of artificial muscle and a metallic carcass extending onto his ribcage to keep them attached solid. Being the vessel of a mysterious magic artifact, they hold great occult power - but they also bear a distinct physical quality of their own, being heavier, far tougher and far stronger than what his flesh-and-bone arms were, while still sharing the boost of the virtual particles and ki. The upper layer of their plating is composed of a ceramic, beneath which is a steel casing which holds the muscle fibers, various pistons and locks, and a slew of tubing and wires connected to tiny gemstones encrusted within the likewise steel 'bones', said magic gemstones powering the arms, alongside with performing maintenance tasks, such as producing lubrication.

charging
Bradley can supercharge his aura by diverting energy from his arms, allowing to release it in a momentary burst that either boosts his Ki for a raw speed and strength increase, or unblocks the mass of the virtual particles, increasing his weight drastically.
rhythm
critical art
Bradley wields a mysterious artifact that has ingrained itself into his body, replacing his arms with robotic counterparts and digging into his torso with strands of artificial muscle fiber paired with a metallic carcass hugging his ribcage. Apart from being the artifact's vessel, those arms are simply a fine example of prosthetic technology, being incredibly durable, far faster and far more powerful, despite their weight.
His defense is bolstered by a defensive aura that permeates his body, metal arms and even clothes. It manifests 'virtual particles' inside them, that occupy the same exact space without interacting with his body - yet reacting to external forces. The virtual particles create a lattice that's hard as diamond, yet as ductile as mild steel at the same time - and, most importantly, weightless. It also protects from most acids and insulates against electricity and heat as a ceramic would. Said lattice can be damaged - however, it will rapidly regenerate once the strain is removed.
The same virtual particles, albeit of a different configuration, are also used to boost his physical strength: attaching themselves to his muscle, they contract and relax by having their molecular lattice change form through magic influence.
Lastly, while the majority of virtual particles are made weightless, some are deliberately used to add extra mass, giving Bradley extra stability and striking power as he climbs up the power scale.

Bradley can divert energy from his robotic arms into accumulating charges that can momentarily boost his muscle power or mass by pumping it into the virtual particles. During charging, his arm muscles are disabled and the limbs are kept in place by a series of friction locks that secure his joints from the shoulder downwards. If excessive force is applied, the locks will be disengaged and power will be forcibly returned to his arms as an emergency measure preventing damage to the mechanisms and Bradley's face; the charging will also be stopped if Bradley's mental focus is disrupted and if the charges are being activated.
To accumulate a charge, Bradley must already be charging at the beginning of the post; if he manages to keep charging uninterrupted until the post's end, then he will gain a single charge at the beginning of his next post, regardless of the fight's in-character chronology.
The charges boost him for a minuscule amount of time, allowing just enough to fit in one powerful strike or a quick jab-cross combo. Charges are automatically used if the charging process is disrupted, and when activated, a charge may only last Bradley for the current post, without carrying over into the next one. However, Bradley may choose to use up all charges of one type separately in order to delay the activation of the other type - for example, if he would use up his mass increase charges in one post, then his muscle power increase charges would undergo forceful activation only in the next post.
It is important to note that mass charges affect only how Bradley interacts with his surroundings, and not Bradley himself: his punches will be heavier and the ground may cave in under his steps, but the man himself will move as fast and nimble as before, unhampered by the mass increase due to the nature of virtual particles.
Raw stats:
Force to disengage locks:
Muscle power charges: 3 charges max.
#1 = 140% force and speed, x2 kinetic impact energy
#2 = 170% force and speed, x3 kinetic impact energy
#3 = 200% force and speed, x4 kinetic impact energy
Mass charges: 3 max
#1 = x2 base bodymass
#2 = x3 base bodymass
#3 = x4 base bodymass
At the start of every third post, the defensive power of Bradley's aura is tripled; simultaneously, his mind and perception's processing capacity is momentarily boosted to such a level that time seems to just stop: for a millisecond, he is allowed to observe his surroundings as if they were a still image, then think through and act upon the situation - and obviously, this also serves as a signal to him, telling that his defenses are bolstered as well, the two effects coming hand-in-hand.
The effect only persists for the defensive portion of his post; any actions he attempts afterwards are without any of those enhancements.
For every attack that connects against him, and for every punch of his own that he lands, Bradley gets one step closer to unleashing his super move, a fusion of his own ability to create virtual particles and the artifact's mystic power. for enemy attacks, it may be even a grazing hit - so long as Bradley himself perceives it as a threat coming directly from the opponent and registers it as dealing any sort of damage against him, he will gain a super move point; for his own attacks, they must be punches only, and they should connect cleanly - though whether they do or don't deal any major damage is irrelevant, so long as they come in full-force.
Upon accumulating 5 super points, he can, at any time, unleash a sphere-shaped aura, generated by the artifact, which will saturate the area with virtual particles. The particles will attach themselves to anything that isn't shielded from magic, weighing down and slightly increasing the durability of all of Bradley's surroundings: air becomes maple-syrup thick and heavy and bullets slow as their mass skyrockets; the more intrinsic mass an object has, the more particles will attach to it. The only entities unaffected are Bradley himself, and any other living being, alongside with any possessions they wear n their person, be it armor or weapons; however, Bradley, being the source of said virtual particles, is able to cut through the veil and repel them from the surface of his body, unimpeded and moving as normal.
The lifetime of the sphere, however, is barely over a second, meaning that it doesn't necessarily spell certain doom for anyone caught within.
Raw stats:
Sphere radius: 50 feet
Effect intensity: objects become 20 times heavier and around 5 times as durable.
+Bradley is capable of imparting up to 200,000 joules (equal to his baseline jab punch power) of instantaneous impulse to his body in the same direction as the gravitational pull, with no limit on the amount of uses, but a limit of 200,00 joules spent total for every turn. instant burst of 50 m/s acceleration instead so that it get more power from more mass
think about how to do airwalk: generate counterforce in a limited range of direction equal to force exerted through a pad of badass particles. problemo solved
parry punches
super points have a cap (5 points, 3 for DDC and LDT, 5 for big sphere?)
double deadly combination: extend rhythm and charge onto two hits but have to commit to both in one post
lockdown trigger: charged punches create spheres of badass particle around his fists aura that increases in intensity proportionally to the fist's velocity. acts like a mini regular sphere.
don't forget about god fist link to subconscious and rhythm
Rather than locking the arms he just has to keep them in place with his own muscle power - charges are not actual energy, but stages of concentration, maybe slowly condensing magic into power pathways as he keeps his arms still.
Virtual particles don't completely shut down electric current, but rather, resist it, converting the voltage into heat. Their heat resistance is average, but due to the large mass, an incredible amount of heat is required to raise temperature, and thanks to high conductivity, it becomes even harder.
Link to muscles that defines rhythm and charge release duration? Flex-counterflex chain as a unit of measurement: one group of muscles initiates the motion, the other aids in recovery. Maybe link to one's vestibular system/sense of balance and own momentum? Yes, charge persists through momentum release, dampening and ends at momentum reversal.
RUSH MODE: gets 2 steps before throwing punch during charge activation
Energy radar: senses direction and magnitude of surrounding energy sources and spikes
Rythm is deliberately activated, vanilla cooldown sets the rhythm; maybe offensive aura type? Boost defense, time stop and enhance energy radar to show distance as well.
new CA: after activation creates a mini lockdown sphere whenever entering rush mode off of charges - each use of this CA gives one stack of mini lockdown on rush
BURN MODE: when already charging (1 accumulated charge required), burn CA meter to instantly gain extra charges.

Make rhythm add more virtual particles (for purpose of ablative armor style piercing attacks)? - prob not Don't forget about time slow and extra analysis power for virtual particle observation network (VPON).
Energy radar or ole 360 degree vision? Neither?
Vitrtual particle cluster gun observation network (VPCGON): Bradley ejects clusters of virtual particles from himself that beam back lasers towards him containing information both about the relative positions of all the particles within the cluster, and by observing their position/disturbance of thereof and the state/intensity of the returning laser, Bradley can determine certian physical processes and disturbances within the enviroment. Lasers? lightspeed info!
Sandblaster: VPCGON allows to track threats directed against Bradley, and auto-deploy a large particle cluster gun that blasts the oncmoing threat with a stream of inert particle grains, both directly opposing the threat's vector of motion and striking it tangentially (neutralization+displacement), as well as overloading it with said inert particles, intended to absorb an distrupt/dissapate any heat/electric/chemical based threats.
Stronger and manually controlled version of sandblaster deployed during Rhythm.
Rush mode LDS doesn't stack but is activated on spot.
Make airwalk have friction - doesn't it already have it? Airwalk manifests itself through virtual particles, which can be analogous to any material in their firctional properties - meaning airwalk can actually be made to boost his mobility.

Virtual Particles
VPs are small holes that conduct magic energy into the physical realm 'programming' it in process - basically runes that project it in a defined fashion.
defend against magic energy bullshito by using virtuak particles as particularly powerful magic energy manifestations; the particles directly within Brad's body give him nigh-immunity; VPs divided into temorary (vpcgon; sb) and long lasting/source (rest)
VP armor
two coexisting layers of metal-like and ceramic, plus a constantly moving liquid like heatsink layer
Virtual particle armor does conduct heat directly to Bradley's body, but due to its incredible thermal resistance and low conductivity, the heat buildup is greatly stifled and remains localized, allowing to conveniently expunge heated particles with VPCGON. Add extra layer of virtual particle armor that constantly shifts around, absorbing and redistributing heat.
Virtual particles don't completely shut down electric current, but rather, resist it, converting the voltage into heat. Their heat resistance is GREAT AND due to the large mass, an incredible amount of heat is required to raise temperature, and thanks to HEATSINK, it becomes even harder.
Psychopunch
Allow Bradster to PUNCH magic/supernatural energies out of objects by enhancing his Godfists with superpressurized virtual particles, temporarily distrupting magical effects and magical control. (PUNCHING DEFENSES AND ATTACKS BACK AT PEOPLE IN FORM OF FUCKIN' SHRAPNEL) Also part of how LDS works
Charging
RUSH MODE: gets 2 steps before throwing punch during charge activation
Link to muscles that defines rhythm and charge release duration? Flex-counterflex chain as a unit of measurement: one group of muscles initiates the motion, the other aids in recovery. Maybe link to one's vestibular system/sense of balance and own momentum? Yes, charge persists through momentum release, dampening and ends at momentum reversal.
Rather than locking the arms he just has to keep them in place with his own muscle power - charges are not actual energy, but stages of concentration, maybe slowly condensing magic into power pathways as he keeps his arms still; can move at shoulder but not below.
Charges (for more inertia or for speed burst)
3 stage charging 1 charge per turn of not punching, requires arms be kept in guard not moving
Inertia is magic weight particles always moving with his aura; charges just phase them into physical existance
Max charge for either type gives 4x power boost, previous stages give 3x and 2x respectively, and speed/inertia changes accordingly (145/175/200 for speed?).
Holding: allows to burn all charges of one type but save the charges of the other type; burned charges may be used as normal
Can choose between breaking charge guard and going for a punch/other arm move before the charges kick in, or enter rush mode instead while keeping guard up.
Charging: simple - if Brad starts his post already in a charging guard, then automatically gain 1 charge ready to use

Maybe link to one's vestibular system/sense of balance and own momentum? Yes, charge persists through momentum release, dampening and ends at momentum reversal.!
CA points
super points have a cap (5 points, 3 for DDC and LDT, 5 for big sphere?)
!CA points: gain on DODGING or DEflecting attacks, but enters a forced cooldown state where points cannot be gained from defending (but can from landing attacks) if he is hit full force, no matter whether he braces or not.!
LDS
LDS (CA1): extend duration (2 turns), allow to move it in a straight line, slightly lessen the raw effect. Also make it so LDS is cancelled as soon as a charge is used.
Upon accumulating 5 super points, he can, at any time, unleash a sphere-shaped aura, generated by the artifact, which will saturate the area with virtual particles. The particles will attach themselves to anything that isn't shielded from magic, weighing down and slightly increasing the durability of all of Bradley's surroundings: air becomes maple-syrup thick and heavy and bullets slow as their mass skyrockets; the more intrinsic mass an object has, the more particles will attach to it.

Also the VPs will cluster around any aura protected object, coating it in a weight blanket; also LDS causes a momentary displacement burst against magic energies.
Freestyler
CA4: freestyler. allows to move while retaining charge for the duration of the CA (3-5 turns?). Maybe pause when initiating a new charge to extend CA3 even further and do some classy moves. HOw about 1 free charge every turn?
VPCGON
VPCGON is created through small spherical blips that radiate virtual particle clusters at high speeds; due to inverse square law, the radiation is relatively harmless over larger distances, but from 1 foot to point blank, the power radically rises, direct contant with the VPCGON field capable of ablating steel at a rapid rate; the ablation peels/oxplodes off the surface layer with combined heat, erosion and impact, while leaving the matter underneath relatively cool.
Vitrtual particle cluster gun observation network (VPCGON): Bradley ejects clusters of virtual particles from himself that beam back lasers towards him containing information both about the relative positions of all the particles within the cluster, and by observing their position/disturbance of thereof and the state/intensity of the returning laser, Bradley can determine certian physical processes and disturbances within the enviroment. Lasers? lightspeed info!
Bradley himself also project the lasers, with those lasers interacting and bouncing off the VP clusters and VPs only, while his radiant aura (aura radius) is what receives the reflected lasers.
Sandblaster
Sandblaster: VPCGON allows to track threats directed against Bradley, and auto-deploy a large particle cluster gun that blasts the oncmoing threat with a stream of inert particle grains, both directly opposing the threat's vector of motion and striking it tangentially (neutralization+displacement), as well as overloading it with said inert particles, intended to absorb an distrupt/dissapate any heat/electric/chemical based threats.
Sandblaster can also be manually controlled, with pressure from combined streams being able to affect opponents - however Brad is unaffected by the streams himself
!!!Sandblaster streams conduct the VPCGON particle gun bursts, allowing to 'bloom' a particle emission at the end, allowing to both ablate the targets it makes contact with and conduct the observational effect.
Make sandblaster streams capable of splaying out in wide cones, blowing away flames, also still have them capable of exploding at the tip, DISPERSING THE PARTICLE CLUSTERS FOR AN OBSERVATION BLANKET!!!
sandblaster spike: overlap particles, use vpcgon ablation effect to create SAND LASER (good for remote detonation of explosive projectiles)
Sandblaster streams can ionize and plasmify matter, creating updrafts of hot air and thunder like shockwaves; enhances displacement potential against targets.
IDK maybe take away sand laser for balance reasons
Walls
Have a wall creating ability that first has to be targeted/placed and after a time delay, it builds the wall - thus, eliminating its use as an instant defense, but allowing strategic usage. Also make its durability degrade over time to mitigate cover charge stalling. Comes in form of a VP mist that can be moved around; affected by gravity, initially intangible, but tangible upon creating barrier.
Displacer
Virtual particle displacement: replaces an object with its virtual particle replica; as result, Bradley can walk through the replaced area; regular version cannot affect objects controlled, or 'in possesion', contacting a living being's aura. Beefy version uses one reactive, two CA points, gives a hard cooldown, aura affected and controlled objects are only temporarily replaced.
Displacement stays in effect so long as the object does not exit Bradley's max aura range; strong magic users can wrestle back against it to regain control sooner. Also is virtual aprticles fixed in place by pressure from the displaced object.
Gravslam
instant burst of 50 m/s acceleration instead so that it get more power from more mass
can be regulated
Airwalk
think about how to do airwalk: generate counterforce in a limited range of direction equal to force exerted through a pad of badass particles. problemo solved
Make airwalk have friction - doesn't it already have it? Airwalk manifests itself through virtual particles, which can be analogous to any material in their frictional properties - meaning airwalk can actually be made to boost his mobility. Alter the grain/friction of airwalk particle cushion and voila turning on a dime.

VPs are small holes that conduct magic energy into the physical realm 'programming' it in process - basically runes that project it in a defined fashion.
defend against magic energy bullshito by using virtuak particles as particularly powerful magic energy manifestations; the particles directly within Brad's body give him nigh-immunity; VPs divided into temorary (vpcgon; sb) and long lasting/source (rest)
VP armor
two coexisting layers of metal-like and ceramic, plus a constantly moving liquid like heatsink layer
Virtual particle armor does conduct heat directly to Bradley's body, but due to its incredible thermal resistance and low conductivity, the heat buildup is greatly stifled and remains localized, allowing to conveniently expunge heated particles with VPCGON. Add extra layer of virtual particle armor that constantly shifts around, absorbing and redistributing heat.
Virtual particles don't completely shut down electric current, but rather, resist it, converting the voltage into heat. Their heat resistance is GREAT AND due to the large mass, an incredible amount of heat is required to raise temperature, and thanks to HEATSINK, it becomes even harder.
Psychopunch
Allow Bradster to PUNCH magic/supernatural energies out of objects by enhancing his Godfists with superpressurized virtual particles, temporarily distrupting magical effects and magical control. (PUNCHING DEFENSES AND ATTACKS BACK AT PEOPLE IN FORM OF FUCKIN' SHRAPNEL) Also part of how LDS works
Charging
RUSH MODE: gets 2 steps before throwing punch during charge activation
Link to muscles that defines rhythm and charge release duration? Flex-counterflex chain as a unit of measurement: one group of muscles initiates the motion, the other aids in recovery. Maybe link to one's vestibular system/sense of balance and own momentum? Yes, charge persists through momentum release, dampening and ends at momentum reversal.
Rather than locking the arms he just has to keep them in place with his own muscle power - charges are not actual energy, but stages of concentration, maybe slowly condensing magic into power pathways as he keeps his arms still; can move at shoulder but not below.
Charges (for more inertia or for speed burst)
3 stage charging 1 charge per turn of not punching, requires arms be kept in guard not moving
Inertia is magic weight particles always moving with his aura; charges just phase them into physical existance
Max charge for either type gives 4x power boost, previous stages give 3x and 2x respectively, and speed/inertia changes accordingly (145/175/200 for speed?).
Holding: allows to burn all charges of one type but save the charges of the other type; burned charges may be used as normal
Can choose between breaking charge guard and going for a punch/other arm move before the charges kick in, or enter rush mode instead while keeping guard up.
Charging: simple - if Brad starts his post already in a charging guard, then automatically gain 1 charge ready to use
!Link to muscles that defines rhythm and charge release duration? Flex-counterflex chain as a unit of measurement: one group of muscles initiates the motion, the other aids in recovery. Maybe link to one's vestibular system/sense of balance and own momentum? Yes, charge persists through momentum release, dampening and ends at momentum reversal.!
CA points
super points have a cap (5 points, 3 for DDC and LDT, 5 for big sphere?)
!CA points: gain on DODGING or DEflecting attacks, but enters a forced cooldown state where points cannot be gained from defending (but can from landing attacks) if he is hit full force, no matter whether he braces or not.!
LDS
LDS (CA1): extend duration (2 turns), allow to move it in a straight line, slightly lessen the raw effect. Also make it so LDS is cancelled as soon as a charge is used.
Upon accumulating 5 super points, he can, at any time, unleash a sphere-shaped aura, generated by the artifact, which will saturate the area with virtual particles. The particles will attach themselves to anything that isn't shielded from magic, weighing down and slightly increasing the durability of all of Bradley's surroundings: air becomes maple-syrup thick and heavy and bullets slow as their mass skyrockets; the more intrinsic mass an object has, the more particles will attach to it. The only entities unaffected are Bradley himself, and any other living being, alongside with any possessions they wear n their person, be it armor or weapons; however, Bradley, being the source of said virtual particles, is able to cut through the veil and repel them from the surface of his body, unimpeded and moving as normal.
Also the VPs will cluster around any aura protected object, coating it in a weight blanket; also LDS causes a momentary displacement burst against magic energies.
Freestyler
CA4: freestyler. allows to move while retaining charge for the duration of the CA (3-5 turns?). Maybe pause when initiating a new charge to extend CA3 even further and do some classy moves. HOw about 1 free charge every turn?
VPCGON
VPCGON is created through small spherical blips that radiate virtual particle clusters at high speeds; due to inverse square law, the radiation is relatively harmless over larger distances, but from 1 foot to point blank, the power radically rises, direct contant with the VPCGON field capable of ablating steel at a rapid rate; the ablation peels/oxplodes off the surface layer with combined heat, erosion and impact, while leaving the matter underneath relatively cool.
Vitrtual particle cluster gun observation network (VPCGON): Bradley ejects clusters of virtual particles from himself that beam back lasers towards him containing information both about the relative positions of all the particles within the cluster, and by observing their position/disturbance of thereof and the state/intensity of the returning laser, Bradley can determine certian physical processes and disturbances within the enviroment. Lasers? lightspeed info!
Bradley himself also project the lasers, with those lasers interacting and bouncing off the VP clusters and VPs only, while his radiant aura (aura radius) is what receives the reflected lasers.

Runic Psion:
Virtual Particles: at the crux of Bradley's core abilities, virtual particles (VPs from now on) are magic 'machines' (otherwise known as runes) allowing an advanced form of magic-to-matter transformation that can manifest wholly isolated properties of physical matter and phenomena - for example, creating objects unaffected by gravity, yet possessing motion inertia. This is achieved by simulating physical particles up form their quantum components with magic energy channeled through the VPs themselves; reality's laws act upon and mold the simulated particles into their 'correct' form in order to include them into the sphere of physical interaction - however, throughout the whole process, the simulated particle remains nothing more than pure magic energy in a continuous state of transformation: should the user will so, they can modulate the energy flow by altering the structure of the VPs it's channeled through - either closing the flow off, or using it to 'plug' certain interactions with an equal counterforce, and in result, removing certain components, properties or interactions of the simulated particle out of existence.
In other words, there is no particle - only magic energy acting upon other matter in a way that simulates the existence of another particle. Due to this, VPs possess an additional property: if given a magic-based marker that distinguishes one group of physical matter form another, then the simulated particle can be exempt from interacting from that group. In practice, this allows the VPs to exist inside physical objects, pass through them, and overlap eachother to any extent desired.

OP
stances are due to the chainsawacidfreeze death chamber warping his aura to such an extent that it is hard for him to implant multiple techniques into it in a single state, so he uses multiple templates (with ultimate messatsu counting as one, as it uses the divekick stance to add additional pathways that ncrease the fb stanceenergy use efficiency) to fit all his techniques
sacrifice a stance to take a fatal hit
ALL chainsaw things have cold heat sapping effect: FBs (heavy; light), aura, chainsaw armor. Also are covered in acid gel that permeates and absorbs itself into the target, while pulling away and absorbing into itself the oxidized matter, eventually converting a good chunk of the target area into a uniform, weakened product.
Chainsaw teeth pass through eachother.
regular stance switch: requires a handsign, concentration and a little time. all stance switches have cooldown
any stance switch can be meterburned to be used regardless of cooldown. cooldown is reset afterwards.
fireball recovery instant switch: uses the blowback from heavy FB and ex heavy FB to instantly switch stances, cancelling out the recovery.
instant heavy fireball: when in divekick stance, the switch can be instantly performed by launching any heavy fireball. cooldown as normal.
fireball stance
light shotgunfireball - shotgun blast of chainsaw teeth shot off thee armor by a kinetic blast. can be further accelerated by bodily motion. Generates some resources. Can be used in any stance. Once per turn?
heavy fireball - shoryuken motion, blowback that gives recovery frames, more damage, size and resource generation than light fireball, comes in form of a chainsaw sphere. can be cancelled into instant stance switch or ex heavy fireball
ex heavy fireball: uses up resources, has special qualities, same motion and blowback as regular heavy fireball, can only be cancelled into stance switch. Many varieties.
(lift/push wheel, succ torus)
static buildup: allows to release gusts of freeze magic that makes the target more brittle and susceptible to getting shredded to sawdust. particles that infuse themselves into matter. upon interacting with a heavy fireball they covert into a burst of heat and cause heavy erosion.
homing buildup; max capacity for homing nodes at once; nodes are launched as projectiles that can be stopped, bound to matter and can home around and towards eachother. homing affects all projectiles that akuma man launches, unless exempt from said influence by special property (such as freeze in place)
moved to fireball stance. when switching, they disappear
Ultimate Messatsu: sacrifices divekick stance for the remainder of the fight in exchange for multiplying the current resource pool
divekick stance
light shotgunfireball - shotgun blast of chainsaw teeth shot off thee armor by a kinetic blast. can be further accelerated by bodily motion. Generates some resources. Can be used in any stance. Once per turn?
force dash: imparts a fixed amount of kinetic energy to his body in any given direction. has three separate nodes, each entering their own cooldown after use. cooldown gets shaved off by one post for all three nodes when stance switching from fireball to divekick stance, but does not tick down while in fireball stance.
armor boost: two-stage armor boost that has cooldowns and limited duration on both stages, with stage two requiring stage one already active. act somewhat like Quebra's armor layering. Also has resource-using armor boosts. May boost light shotgunfireball.
