Disguise or mimicry would be much better honestly charm is so hard to quantify in words

@Jangel13

Alright! So basically I switched out the charm thing for a "copy abilities/items" skill with the theme of 'recreation'.

She can make a recreation/copy of items, and also recreate/copy the capabilities (aka: skills/techniques/powers/abilities) of others, as the effect of this skill by just perceiving/seeing them. Her senses and mind record the info and analyze things passively as a mechanical means for her to be able to recreate stuff at all, and basically doing that will never be a problem.

The hard rule is, however, that these 'recreations' both object and capabilities are always inferior to the originals and lose in a straight match of power. Like if you observed the spear-fighting skills of a guy, and then he got better years later, you'd only be able to recreate 'the skills that person had at that point in time' you saw him before and would have to go observe the guy again to be able to be able to recreate his improved skills. Either way if you tried fighting him with a spear and a recreation of his own skills, you'd always lose in straight up match of just his spear skills vs your recreation of his spear skills.

Further, something like a divine blessing given to or inherited by a specific individual can't be recreated. Certain powers like 'can shoot out webs cause they killed enough spiders', techniques that can be learned such as weapon-wielding techniques, skills like sewing, etc, can be recreated though.

Likewise and more so limiting this power is also the wielder's state of evolution, or the strength of their soul, so the stronger the wielder becomes through evolution the more powerful the objects and capabilities they can actually recreate. As a base goblin, for example, you couldn't recreate the skills of a hobgoblin or an item that only something stronger than a hobgoblin could wield for one reason or another...but could do so when it comes to other goblins and the things they can utilize or own. Or if a hobgoblin wields a weapon or shield or other item they made as or could still wield as a goblin, then a base goblin with this power could recreate those objects in such a case.

As a base goblin, these objects and capabilities only last for five minutes at most (aka just five minutes outright every time and then suddenly disappear) when recreated. On the other hand, this skill can always be used to recreate stuff over and over so you can spam copies since they are already naturally inferior but good-quality copies. :P

Finally, as an aside, in the specific case of 'recreated objects' there is another catch. If you 'overload' them with magical energy, then they can very very briefly match the power of the original item they were based after. Very, very, briefly. As a result, however, they are outright and immediately destroyed in the aftermath of using them in such a manner.

***(Sorry for this being so long and detailed, but I felt it'd be good to just tack on proper limitations to balance it...all whilst leaving it rather useable in its own ways in the short and long terms :D)

If this idea doesn't work then just tell me, or perhaps help me with suggestions for skills perhaps? I based this one in particular on her cosplay antics in her prior life, basically. XD**

@Jangel13

But what if whatever they put in the forest water the makes all the male goblins gay? Then I have nothing! :P

Haha. Jokes aside, though, I'll just change the power to avoid the potential issues altogether. If that's ok.

Prob going back to try to to think of another power for the same background. Maybe use the cosplay for a disguise power, or a power mimicry skill, etc. XD

(Anywho, on the last few short minutes of break. Will do edits and changes stuff after I get home a few hours from now.)

From goblins to godhood (re:monster rp)

A Cute Gobbo

Name: Kir

Gender: Female

Appearance: She is very beautiful and attractive, more so than other goblins.

Personality: A relentless individual who pursues her own goals and desires, and in simple one could call her ‘greedy’. Whilst her drive and bravery can lead her to push ahead valiantly, or frankly perform even laborious tasks if it means getting something out of it herself, they are also just as likely to lead her into trouble. Whilst she is very possessive of ‘what is mine’, somewhat like dragons from certain folklores back on Earth, at the same time she can be rather amicable and friendly and even get along in general in social situations otherwise.

Past Life History: A yes-woman, a flirt, a beauty, and a criminal tease who lived much her life using others to her advantage and benefit. A child who grew up with everything and wanted more, and used her wits and charm to turn heads and empty wallets for her own sake. However, whilst a skilled manipulator she would eventually fall onto bad times after trying to pick at the wrong target and see her efforts all for naught. In the end she would be forced to pick up the pieces of her life and come to terms with it, before finding a husband and actually settling down.

She would ultimately become an anime lover and a kinder person in this latter half of her life, and ultimately make more income on the side from selling super-detailed cosplay attire to others and selling pictures of her cosplaying to boot. She would even go to conventions alongside her also anime-avid husband, both getting exposure for her work and fostering a deeper connection with her beloved and eventually her own kids. In the end, however, she would die when a victim of her former shenanigans ran her over with a car.

At the time she was out walking with her husband, heading from a parking lot to an anime convention in the city for a ‘date night’. Both her and her husband died instantly from the impact, and the driver would die of her own wounds in the ambulance soon after.

Skill: "Recreate" - To put it simply, the wielder of this skill can create 'fake' copies of items/things as well as mimic/copy the skills/abilities/techniques/powers of other living things for their own use. In other words the wielder 'recreates' capabilities they have witnessed, and objects they have seen/encountered, for their own use.

To recreate something, all the wielder needs to have done is have seen/perceived said object or capability they wish to recreate. This is because their senses and mind in general have been altered and tweaked by this skill to passively read, analyze, and retain this sort of information in their mind. Even the history of a recreated object or capability (aka: skill/ability/technique/power) is perceived and recorded by the wielder's mind, though this is simply a way to make a 'more convincing and stronger copy/mimicry/recreation' by 'recreating' the history of the original and applying it to the copied/mimicked/recreated version. The storage of all of this information, however, allows the wielder to recreate items and capabilities to make use of them over and over and over again. Like a rapid-fire copy machine, basically.

However, as a rule of thumb 'recreated' objects and capabilities are always inferior in quality and power to the originals and would lose to them in these specific aspects in a straight 1-v-1 every time. They are, however, superior in quality to 'mimicries' created using magic and such otherwise, basically making these 'recreations' to be 'high quality but inferior copies'. Likewise, these 'recreations' are all still just temporary 'mimicries' of the originals that will fade away in due time (items fading notably slower than recreated capabilities). Further, this skill does not take growth into account. What this means more specifically is that, for example, if you recreated a warrior's spear and spear-wielding skills, you only have the information of 'what that spear and spear-wielding skill was like at that point in time'. If that warrior from before has since honed their spear-wielding skills more, and their spear was enchanted and made more powerful and reforged, then you would have to see them both all over again to be able to recreate the stronger versions in turn.

Further limiting this power is also the wielder's state of evolution, or the strength of their soul, so the stronger the wielder becomes through evolution the more powerful the objects and capabilities they can actually recreate. As a base goblin, for example, you couldn't recreate the skills of a hobgoblin or an item that only something stronger than a hobgoblin could wield for one reason or another...but could do so when it comes to other goblins and the things they can utilize or own. Or if a hobgoblin wields a weapon or shield or other item they made as or could still wield as a goblin, then a base goblin with this power could recreate those objects in such a case.

Further, something like a divine blessing given to or inherited by a specific individual can't be recreated. Certain powers like 'can shoot out webs cause they killed enough spiders', techniques that can be learned such as weapon-wielding techniques, skills like sewing, etc, can be recreated though.

Finally, as an aside, in the specific case of 'recreated objects' there is another catch. If you 'overload' them with magical energy, then they can very very briefly match the power of the original item they were based after. As a result, however, they are outright and immediately destroyed in the aftermath of using them in such a state.

As a simple base goblin, recreations of objects and capabilities last for up to a maximum of five minutes before disappearing. This time frame increases exponentially with each evolution, going up to fifteen minutes if they were to evolve into a hobgoblin. If a certain line of evolution somehow synergized with this skill, then the time limit would exponentially increase even further going farther down that evolution line.

Name: Kir

Gender: Female

Appearance: She is supernaturally more attractive than other goblins, as a side effect of her Skill.

Personality: A relentless individual who pursues her own goals and desires, and in simple one could call her ‘greedy’. Whilst her drive and bravery can lead her to push ahead valiantly, or frankly perform even laborious tasks if it means getting something out of it herself, they are also just as likely to lead her into trouble.

Skill: “Super Charm” - A skill that in effect allows the wielder to enchant other living things, or basically something like hypnotizing them or charming them. This can be used on bestial animals to help tame them, on enemies/monsters to stop them from attacking you, on undead to make them stop in their tracks, on passerby to bring them under your influence to command them, on spirits/elementals to bring them under her sway as well, and so forth. The side-effect is that the wielder acquires a supernatural level of beauty no matter their form.

As a goblin, this ability is naturally very limited in its effects and power. She can enchant rather weak creatures like rabbits and such most properly, and more dangerous things like wolves to make it easier to tame them or at least stop them from attacking her for a bit, and at the very most do things like cause another of her kind to simply take pause for a moment or stop mid-action very briefly. But anything well stronger than her is far more resistant if not just naturally outright immune.

Whatever evolution line she goes down, this skill will grow in strength and potency alongside her as will the side-effect of her supernatural beauty.

@Jangel13 I have some potential Skill ideas for this round, for a new goblin, should I DM those to you to have them looked at to see which might be best to use? :O

The Epic of Beginnings - Fragments of a weathered scroll

Leannah

---

Heh. To see Lazhira attempt to stumble through the steps at first, it reminded her of her first martial arts class in her former life. It was endearing, in a way, and brought a genuine smile to the catgirl's face. Of course all the other girl needed to do was practice and gain the physicality to really make use of it. Even the basics and some physical training would suffice more than nothing if the human girl needed to defend herself. Hell, even she got some practice to stay in-shape as well. Even after all that magic practice, and finally achieving something minute at least, it all felt...relaxing, even as the scholar challenged her to a light spar at the end of it all. Though simply to have an associate like Narkissa at the moment, and the company of a friendly local, all of it amounted to something Leannah felt was a good start.

No drowning in alien science magic liquid stuff. No dueling a giant stone guardian in a big prison. It was a relief, and more ironically perhaps the best she'd slept in a long time that night.

Though just a bit after the very first morning beams would crack over the horizon, Leannah found herself rousing and before the others awoke. Early training was the name of her game, both in magic and frankly martial arts, in order to hone and further rouse her mental and physical faculties. But right before she would go straight into eating a couple of fish and eat a simple portion of the cut veggies. Not enough to take it all, just enough for one person and leaving more than plenty for Lazhira and the rest. That, and her feline senses seemed to take well to the idea of some fresh fish in the morning to kick off the day after some morning exercise and training.

She would then head out a distance from Lazhira's house and away from it, simply trying to go through the normal morning routines and taking things out on some trees to a reasonable extent, though by the time she got back to the house and morning was in full swing the others seemed to be waking up. Lazhira, however, was still very much gone. Likewise, from her spot in the doorway, Leannah simply gave a casual friendly wave in response to the fox girl's sleepy call of 'Morning'.

"Anyone seen Lazhira yet?" Leannah said to the others, her eyes briefly scanning over the other three as she leaned on the doorframe in a relaxed manner.
