Unfortunately for Ernesto, the more he’s boosted, the harder it is for him to boost again,as while the boost increases exponentially, so does the required danger-ness of a situation. meaning that while there’s no hard cap, there’s a soft cap that’s very difficult to piece without getting straight up vaporized. TLDR: He gets more powerful as he’s in danger. Has a soft cap [hider=Boost Soft Cap details] (Disclaimer: Adrenal Surge is technically always active, what i’m talking about below are Thresholds that can be used to more easily keep track of it. Also, if this seems too strong, remember that Ernesto has little defense against exotic effects,and that the Thresholds account for his regen too,so somrthing fatal for another NA master, might not be the same for him.Finally, a surprise or alpha strike can still neutralize him, as Assalto Implacabile needs a short time to reach the Thresholds, and Ernesto himself needs to know he's in a dangerous situation. ) Ernesto, when his NA is summoned start at Peak human physical level, and rapidly power up as he’s in danger When he’s in danger of getting seriously Hurt, Adrenal Surge brings him straight into Slight Superhuman ranges, at Captain america level When He’s in Danger of actually dying, he once again gets boosted to Superhuman level. Small arms and most medium caliber weaponry isn’t effective anymore, small explosive yields are easily survivable, he can trash non-armored vehicles and run at 75 Km/h However, after getting to this point, Further boosting becomes increasingly harder Being in a situation that gets him seriously hurt no longer boosts him, and to get to High Superhuman levels, he needs to be in a situation where he risks death even with the previous two boosts. The Rewards thought, are worth it. At High superhuman levels, Personnel weaponry can be outright Ignored,Tank shells can be easily survived, he can Throw tanks, and run at 150 Km/h. Perhaps even more important, this is the level where Ernesto can actually activate his Warform,boosting him even higher, and making further boosting easier. If Ernesto uses his Warform,or somehow find himself in a situation where death is all but certain(while at High Superhuman levels), he reach Supernatural level. At the Supernatural level, Conventional weaponry short of ICBM's can be ignored, and he gains a slight resistance to esoteric effects(an example would be NA created fire hurting him less or a space tear ripping him slightly less in half). His strenght reaches a level where he could theoretically rip a building off his foundations if phisics allowed it, and he can now can run close to 350 Km/h. This is where Assalto Implacabile softcap hits,and it is virtually impossible to get to the next power threshold without Warform. If, he somehow find himself in such a situation without instantly getting vaporized, or if it's assured to be fatally wounded while in Warform, he goes to the One Man Army level. At the One Man Army level, anything short of a nuke can be survived without much problems and his esoteric resistance noticeably dulls other NA powers against himself. His strenght is such that the world around him is like soft clay, able to be destroyed or moulded as he wish. When he runs, he's able to break the sound barrier, with a maximum speed close to 800 Km/h. There's technically one last Threshold, but it is basically impossible to reach IC, and even then, the power it would confer to him wouldn't be enough to contend against whatever or whoever made him reach it. If it ever come up it will probably be in a Noble Sacrifice or Last Stand scenario. [/hider] [b]Rapid Regeneration:[/b] Fortunately for Ernesto, His reckless way of fighting(and training) is supported by his Noble Arm. Any wounds he takes visibly heals, and it takes him a couple Hours(Tops) to fully heal. Unfortunately for him, this power doesn’t make him immortal. Firstly, Lethal enough wounds would still kill him. He might be able to heal a bullet wound to the head, but if he gets exploded into oblivion…well, no such luck. Secondly, his regeneration can be hampered. He can’t heal as well with something stuck in him, for one. If a bullet gets lodged in him, he can heal all around it, but the bullet itself won’t be pushed out, and so he remains wounded.(Ernesto still grumbles about all the time he loses picking out bullets from himself). TLDR: Very fast Regen, Can’t push debris out of himself. Can still die. [hider=A More in Depth look at Regen times] Wounds visibly heals and Ernesto need a Couple Hours Tops to get back into shape Small wounds(first degree burns, small gashes or punctures) take seconds. Things like bullet holes, concussions, or second degree burns would take a couple minutes tops. Third degree burns, spread organ damage and small amputation would take thirty minutes, give or take ten minutes based on how severe the damage is. Fourth degree burns, brain damage(as long as it’s mostly intact and there isn’t something lodged in there, it can heal, if far slower than any other body part) and severe amputation(Limb or Torsal, NOT beheading) would take one to two hours based on how spread out is the damage. As for bones.. Well, bone bruises or closed bone fractures are a relative non-issue, since they heal in second or minute respectively, and the Pain Deadening means that Ernesto can keep going mostly as if they didn’t happen. For Compound Fractures though, Ernesto either has to shove the Bone back into himself, or remove it so that it can basically regrowth, Which can be compared to a Major Amputation, and would take at least an Hour to get himself up and running. [/hider] [hider=WarForm] [img]https://i.imgur.com/OtuTyzt.jpeg[/img] [/hider] Ernesto is covered in full-body armor,and his hands merge with his NA, turning into gigantic Claws, able to easily rip man or armor apart. Additionally, he grows to 3 meters in Height, and gains a couple hundred kilos in weight. In his Warform, he’s able to withstand most everything that can be thrown at him, his base Physical abilities Heighten to Fully Supernatural levels, and the soft cap for Adrenaline Surge “reset” while still keeping all the benefits, making further boosting far easier. One downside of the Warform is that it has a built-in Limiter. To activate it, his Adrenal Surge must already be close if not at the Soft Cap. Ernesto jokingly calls this his “Second Phase”. Cool/Corny One-liner when transforming included. [/hider] [b]Misc Abilities:[/b] Fluent in Italian and English,can cook really good Italian cuisine and is skilled in unarmed fighting(thought any master that has seen his style calls it “crude and savage,but effective”),Either Terrifies or Delights childrens with his mere presence [b]Personality:[/b] While he enjoys a good fight, Ernesto is still a good man at heart that’s trying to better the world. He knows he’s not the smartest or trick-iest(but he’s definitely the Densest, his words),and he takes all the jabs against him good-naturedly. Has a hatred for the Downward Spiral, especially after their recruitment attempt that made him question himself. At the end of it all, Ernesto is a simple Man. All he wants is to be helpful, and have fun while making a difference.

As he got older, he’d gotten into the local fight club scene, quickly becoming one of the best fighters around. Everything changed though, in his last match. He was fighting against a E-ranked Noble Arms that had the ability to enchant himself for quick bursts of power. As the Arm Master landed a particularly winding blow that should have rightfully finished the match, Ernesto own Noble Arm awoke, restoring him fully, and giving him the edge he needed to win. He didn’t have time to celebrate his victory because he was quickly accosted by a woman. She felt…wrong to Ernesto, but something drew him to her. She told him of the Downward Descent, of how with his power he could do whatever he wanted, to whoever he wanted. Her tempting words were immediately rejected, but they were still able to implant a kernel of Doubt in Ernesto, who wondered if he could end up like that. The woman, as if knowing what she did, left him without much fanfare, telling him that They would know when he’d change his mind. After calling the authorities and explaining the incident, Ernesto was brought to a recruiter who,after explaining what happened, asked him if he wanted to help the world against people like the Downward descend. A quick boot camp later, to understand his NA powers and instill some discipline in him, he was quickly shipped off to ASEAN, as an asset against the CPLA [/hider] [b]Current Goal:[/b] Make a difference, and have fun on the way.
