posted in 2 separate posts for organizations sake :D Kenneth the Brony: [Hider=Image] The main difference is that the Gem on his chest Is Silver, and has 6 smaller gems embedded it, each of a different color and each a 'hint' at something. [IMG]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs26/f/2008/154/1/7/Behind_the_mask____by_Tatsu87.jpg[/IMG] [/Hider] Name: Kenneth Tomlinson Nickname: Richard "Game Master" Title: The Bronylock Gender: Male Chosen Game Mastery: Brony Games Preferred Weapon(s)/Power-Up(s): Fists, Claws, Feet, Teeth, but most of all MAGIC! [you know what that means, fireballs, lasers, arcane swords, shape shifting], also the 'gem of harmony' stuck in his chest. [Hider=Gem Effects] Gem of Harmony: Replacing the considerable power contained in the soul gem worn by the warlock that he resembles suddenly, The Gem of harmony allows him to switch between the abilities emulating a certain collection of 6 mind bogglingly popular ponies and the 'elements' that they wield... This also leads to him altering his fighting style in relation to each one he activates. The Gem is silver and currently has 3 smaller gems in it, An Amethyst 6 pointed star, a Ruby Lightning Bolt, and a Sunstone apple... it has 3 other spots on it that are currently empty. Note: Each element has an 'avatar form' that enhances it's unique abilities for a while, to prevent 'abuse' the elements cannot be traded out until he has finished recovering form an avatar form's backlash. I should also note, he has to generally figure out how to use each of the things mentioned below XD since they don't automatically come with knowledge and experience, though they do come with familiars to help him along. [/Hider] [Hider=Non-aligned] No Element Activated: These are replaced with stuff described under the elements. Slightly above average Human physical capabilities + Richard Claws 'undead' = Immune to non magical or weak attacks Doesn't have a pony on his shoulder 'Life steal' effect applied to attacks Seems to permanently have a 'pinkie pie' familiar following him around... one can only assume it's because she is somehow not bound by the 4th wall. [/Hider] [Hider=Magic] Physically Fragile, good speed and stamina though Enhanced Cognitive Functions wings - Okay for flight, but not especially strong MAGIC! Large Magic pool He also acquires 'Twilight Sparkle' on his shoulder as a Familiar, and his out-fit altering to resemble her color scheme. Gains the ability to 'see' and 'analyze' magic. As 'magic', His tactics focus on adaptive use of magic, trying to keep balanced and avoid losing effectiveness even up close, in exchange for not specializing in one particular range. Shields, Levitation, elemental magic, and lesser mana beams become common, Some more advanced magic such as teleportation, Invisibility, or Healing may make appearances, but of course they drain his reserves faster. [There's actually a ludicrous variety of what 'magic' can do, hence why I'm employing a vague but specific limit on overall power reserves] He can also utilize the 'avatar of magic' ability, though it only lasts a few minutes at a time and carries with it a long cooldown and a mild defeciency in his magic use after it's timed out, it increases his mana pool and provides a highly rapid magic regeneration, allowing him to use much more advanced spells far more often during it's duration. while using Avatar of magic, he also gains the temporary ability to out-right copy magic effects used by enemies, but only for the duration of the ability. [/Hider] [Hider=Honesty] Physical Strength, Stamina, and Endurance gain a Large boost, Overall speed suffers somewhat. Gains 'Truthsense' Acquires 'applejack' on his shoulder as a familiar, similar color scheme, and a 'Stetson' on his head. Gains 'PUSH ON!' As 'Honesty' his tactics turn a lot more 'heavy handed', taking advantage of the increased strength and endurance to weather enemy attacks and try to push through them to gain advantageous chances to deliver a crippling blow... unless of course it's an obviously stupid thing to try and shove through. Truth-sense causes 'lies' to cause him physical pain, allowing him to easily discern when someone is lying, as well as making him immune to the befuddling effects of illusions, though the physical pain can have quite disruptive effect on his behavior... aka, lies and illusions make him very angry. 'PUSH ON' is an ability that allows him, short term when injured, ignore his injuries and 'push on' as if he weren't hurt while shrugging off further damage for a short time. Activating 'Avatar of Honest' will multiply his strength and endurance several times more and allows him to regenerate damage for a time, with similar duration and cooldown to all other Avatar abilities. when it times out though it leaves him thoroughly 'exhausted' until he can rest. [/Hider] [Hider=Loyalty] Strength at normal levels, Speed, Stamina, agility, and endurance greatly enhanced. wings! - strong wings, great for flight and manuevering, allow for extremely agile flight Gains 'weather Effect' Gains 'Inspiration Aura' Gains 'Imposing Aura' Gains 'Life link' Ability Acquires a 'rainbow dash' familiar As Loyalty, His tactics rely on Overwhelming speed and agility put into intense high velocity attacks to deal damage despite his only average strength, and using his endurance and stamina to weather to backlash of his own attacks, and relies especially heavily on his flight abilities both for avoidance and combined with weather ability to create unusual attacks. 'weather effect' is a natural trait of his familiar, allowing him to walk on or move clouds [and crash into them coincidentally], Attack clouds to forceibly release whatever weather effect they were building, use velocity to create wind effects, and so on and so forth. It also makes him resistant to some weather hazards such as lightning and rain, but more succeptible to others like wind and cold. Inspiration Aura is meant to supply an exciting 'rush' to allies to drive them to push harder in a battle. Imposing aura, contrastingly, Is meant to inspire cowardice or fear in weaker enemies. Both auras do not work very well if he is zipping about in the air. 'Life link' allows him to 'connect' with allies, causing wounds they take to partially heal, in exchange for suffering roughly half of what was healed... while not reccomended, he can supposedly target an enemy with it so that injury 'he' takes is imparted onto them. The Avatar of loyalty ability Greatly boosts his speed and endurance even further, and allows his life link to fully heal allies for minimal damage to himself and reducing the results of previous life links to similar levels. with his further enhanced speed he can also pull off the emergency manuevers 'rainboom' and 'sonic rainboom' [A large Explosive impact, and aerial shock-wave respectively], though either one, when completed, results in cancling out Avatar form and immediately kicking in it's backlash. when this times out it will generally leave him achingly exhausted. [/Hider] Background: Kenneth put a lot into making it unnoticeable in real life that he was a brony, putting himself off instead as a 'slightly broody lover of dark things', particularly games such as dar souls or dark-siders... He actually gets his nickname from the fact that he's often seen with some image of 'Richard the warlock' on him, and even does a perfect immitation of his creepy voice. Despite his naturally 'withdrawn and broody' habits he actually tends to be quite the conversationalist outside of the public eye, in a good mood, or when deep in a good game. Other: "FOR PONY!" - Richard the warlock's actual Favored Battlecry. "REJOICE!... For bad thing are about to happen!" "Oh, walk it off you pussy!" "Look at my horse, My horse is amazing!" Twilight... Pony or not, Magic is awesome!
