Fuuga, Natsus Ability (Approved)

Name: Cuerpo (Spanish for “Body”)

Appearance: Natsus Cuerpo is somewhat unique in that there is only a slight physical change. His iris will glow with a faint blue light, this is because his blood will be mixed with his Reiatsu, giving it a strong blue glow. This also serves as to confuse those he fights, since it is so hard to notice, catching most fighters off guard.

Ability: The Reiatsu pumping through his body will increase his strength, speed and stamina, effectively making him a powerful fighter. It also grants him much better focus, and better reaction time. On top of that, he is able to make his Reiatsu to flow more towards certain parts of his body to perform higher jumps, run faster and hit harder. He is even able to force Reiatsu out from his hands to encase any weapon he may hold, allowing it to cut spiritual beings. The air around him will also become warm and heavy for people with lower Reiatsu levels, though stronger enemies will not be effected as much (their Reiatsus pressure will clash with Natsus Reiatsu that effects the air), making it harder to breathe.

Techniques:

Dominio (Spanish for “Power”)
Natsu will make his Reiatsu flow in a way that manipulates his muscles, making his body much harder and increasing his strength. He is able to reduce damage from any physical attack, and attack with great power. (Charge: 0 posts, 1 if any other ability has just been used. Duration: Up to 4 posts. Cooldown: 4 posts after being turned off)


Velocidad (Spanish for “Speed”)
Focusing his Reiatsu to his legs,feet and eyes, Natsu gains incredible speed along with the focus needed to navigate at that high velocity, and allowing him to react to most attacks. While the speed DOES also effectively grant his attacks impact, the attacks are far from as strong as when he uses Dominio. (Charge: 0 posts, 1 if any other ability has just been used. Duration: Up to 4 posts. Cooldown: 4 posts after being turned off)


Ultimate Technique: Segador (Spanish for “Reaper”)
Combining Dominio and Velocidad, this is Natsus final technique. As for the name, Natsu says that “Power and Speed together gives birth to a Reaper on the battlefield” – a fitting name as he only uses this when he truly intends to hurt his enemy, or is fighting an enemy of the highest class. He is able to deliver blows that, aside from the added strength of Dominio also carries the impact granted by Velocidad. However, as he rarely uses it and those who he has used it on are rarely able to speak of it, most will be caught off guard by this. (Charge: 1 post, both Dominio and Velocidad must not be on cooldown. Duration: 3 posts. Can only be used once per battle, 2 times per day)



Yeah, I’m not sure about the restrictions of the techniques, and even though I want to add a comparison in power to the other races, like compare the speed to Captains/Lieutenants Shunpo or such, but I want to keep it balanced. Help would be greatly appreciated

Well to be honest, I like these abilities. But I don't like the fact that you can see anything with slow-motion after your ability is activated. If you have played Prince of Persia, then I will say this; Could you imagine the Prince having the ability that slows time permanently? Anyway, what I am asking you to do is pretty obvious ^^.

Any of the staff members can override my authority, since I may not be online to check it again soon.

I might've translated somewhat wrong, what I mean is that he sees things slower than normal, I just don't know how slow would be imbalanced, so I just wrote slow-motion for now untill I have an idea of how great the difference should be - should it be mere fractions of a second or more.

Also, if whoever he is fighting is very fast, like someone who focuses on Shunpo (or similar) mostly, the slow down wouldn't matter all that much. That's what I figured anyway.

Well, this is an interesting topic. Obviously, even superhumans would be hard put to fight the elites of other races, simply because of lack of fighting experience and the limitations of their physical bodies. Personally, I don't really have a problem with the whole "slow things down a little" concept, as long as it is not OP and not overused.

I'd still like to have a comparison to the speed/strength of other races and ranks, mostly as a reminder to myself. Also, are the restrictions OK or do they need to be tweaked a bit?

I think the slowing thing is more of a hindrance, in a way. Remember how Mayuri's Superhuman Drug works? He takes the seeming slowing of time from an intense fight and extends it beyond that time. You're doing the same thing, and do you want to end up like Szayel? Seeing time slowed down would either also slow down your body a bit, or just make it harder to tell how things are actually moving.

Mayuri's Superhuman Drug takes it to an extreme, faaaaaaar beyond what I intend for Natsu.

Fuuga's ability doesn't have to be a slow-down of time either. Maybe it can just dcrease the amount of time that Fuuga needs to react to an attack or something. Just a suggestion.

True, I'll think about that... but then again, increased speed does effectively mean reaction time gets sped up too.

I am going with Levi on this one. I don't think seeing everything slowed down is really that useful unless your body also moved really fast. Better just to say that your focus and reactions increase. And altogether seems like a good Superhuman. Just basic augmentation of physical abilities. Nothing fancy which sounds good to me.

Just tweak that and I will approve it.

Okay, edited it. Though I'm still somewhat curious as to how fast/strong it's allowed to be for a Superhuman, again this is more as a reminder to myself so I don't accidently think "I'm fast/strong enough for this" when I'm not ^^'

If it's OK, I am going to bring this topic to a close.

Fuuga, I will be more than happy to clarify for you (since I too am a superhuman^^) and we can continue this discussion via PM.

(I am simply doing this because I think too many posts in a creation topic is not healthy )

There is nothing unhealthy about too many posts in a creation topic. Silly Levi.

Anyways I approve of the changes.

APPROVED
