[@Terminal] I know that I don't "have" to have the racial abilities. However, the Makaioshin are functionally unique beings even within their own ranks, so in my mind, it's difficult if not impossible to justify removing their racial abilities for the sake of establishing a backstory.

[@Thess] Thanks for the info regarding energy sensing, and for the tip regarding how to play a Makaioshin.

To both of you, thanks for discussing how regeneration might be quite taxing; as I said, my plan there would be to utilise the ki stealing mystic technique to fuel the regeneration, which might then place it into the category of a normal technique, if I don't just go right for "eat them to steal their flesh and sometimes powers". I'd assume otherwise, at least for the Makaioshin of Envy, but there are facets of a normal technique in there that could be modified into a multi-purpose ability. If I do try to modify it into a power of the Makaioshin of Deceit... maybe its power involves creating illusory constructs that it can put some ki into to turn real at any time, including lost limbs? And I can see that having a ton of versatility, in ways that will probably end up being described in-story.

At this stage, I will note that you've both totally ignored my other suggestion regarding some sort of themed and/or limited time stop ability as the character's unique racial. I'm taking that to mean neither of you would really recommend it; I understand that such a thing could be very broken in the right hands, but I will say that it's not impossible for it to exist, given the precedent of Guldo for temporal abilities. As for [i]how[/i] it's limited, maybe the character with that ability (which might not even have to be Envy or Deceit, maybe it's the ability of the Makaioshin of Pride or something) can't use it unless there's a certain amount of ki being brought to bear against them in the form of a sufficiently powerful energy attack, with a time limit of five seconds or so per stop, and yeah that now sounds like an ability Pride would probably have. Well, to be fair, I actually like the whole "illusions that can be made real" power a lot now, so I'll probably go with that instead.

EDIT: I've posted the first draft of my character sheet. Say hello to Luceptor, God of Deceit.
