Maybe a shadow of the rings he used to have, as his body is so used to that format. They would be more of an aura projection rather than the same ability. He'd form pseudo-armor of kinetic energy in the locations where the rings used to be, maybe taking up the area where the rings were spaced out. So his hands would be covered so he could strike at energy blasts with just his hands instead of blowing his skin clean off. A defensive ability at its core, sort of like a reversal of the purely offensive rings.

Like the rest of his abilities, it'd be accidental. Maybe a sort of physical reaction, like the way his hair moves. The way it floats unnaturally is a result of his ability, so maybe it reacts towards energy manipulators. Like flowing in the opposite direction of the user in response. So he'd be able to use it as a sort of compass rather than a direct point to point sensory system.

Edit: Even better, characters who absolutely swamp him in ability would cause his hair to no longer float. So a character in ultra-high or god tier would make his hair hang like natural hair.

Alright so, the material that fuels the World Engine AND Starstruck is a material called Dorirum. It's made from skin flakes knocked off of The Architect, who created the Multiverse that Dunnaman comes from. There are multiple Multiverses, for simplicity's sake. Since many roleplayers have a multiverse of their own. When Kanitah's spirit was brought along in the space train, that material was brought with him into the multiverse that he is currently in. The same one that he was in when he met Fury for the first time.

Portals and space ships are the explanation for how he got there in the first place.

Now that Dorirum is naturally growing in THAT multiverse, he's managed to be given one of them. In Starstruck.

That explains how he's got it.

I suppose, at its barest, it would have some kind of mirror of The Architect's personality. Like a remnant of some thought process that the Architect has.

Considering The Architect is constantly at war with The Abyss, the force of entropy that is outside of all things, it might have some kind of beef with the Pseudo-Entropy of The Void's powers.

Well, he could fill the metal that surrounds the cube with energy. It'd take a shit ton of energy, since the cube matches his own absorption and repulsion. To overtake it he'd have to do it quickly and start at the handle, so when he strikes it'd quickly move up to the head and then strike with an explosive force.

Yes, Kanitah was created shortly after I had read that for the first time, I was inspired to make the perfect punchy guy. The best punchy character whose thing was being strong and making himself stronger.

I'm gonna really sit down and think about this, if you've got any ideas I'm more than receptive.

Well I've had an idea kind of along those lines, but not in that particular way.

I've been thinking of replacing the fire and ice with kinetic pulses and barriers yeah, but entirely based in movement. Rather than an ability that can be done with a thought. Something befitting the kind of person that he is, much more reactive than passive.

I'm looking back on a character who I used back in my Deviantart Roleplaying days, a guy whose whole thing was kinetic energy. Haven't thought of him in years but I realize that combining the two into one character might be exactly what Dunnaman needs.

A kinetic blast ability would be fitting, as his body's way of mirroring Fury's own blasts of energy. But something like Hit's punches from Dragon Ball Super, where his punches project blasts of energy every time he throws a punch. A subconscious remnant of Fury maybe.

A barrier ability would be useful but coming up with a way for him to use it would be difficult.

Maybe an extension of his passive energy absorption, since it would still de-energize matter in the same way.

Perhaps he either;
A- Absorbs the energy from incoming threats.
or
B- Repulses incoming threats with a burst of energy.

Man, to think, the whole reason that Kanitah exists is because of a story I read online.

And the whole reason I'm thinking about this is because that story has recently been made into a visual novel.

It's more the deviation from the Kinetic Energy powers.

I feel as though his Re-and-De Energizing abilities don't fit that theme.

It was made in the same way I made Kanitah before. I clicked the random button on Power-Listing.

Kanitah's simplicity was what made him who he was. Dunnaman's got this thing where he's in this awkward grey area of abilities that, when you really think about it, don't make sense.

Kanitah's Random Mix was:
Science Attuned Physiology - For the Word Engine's enhancement to his body.
Old Prime - For being in perfect shape despite his age.
Kinetic Energy Combat - Which I refined into the ring amplification.

All of that was combined with the racial traits of Pundambayans.

Dunnaman's Random Mix is:
Fire Manipulation - For the superheated energized matter.
Ice Manipulation - For the supercooled de-energized matter.
Flight - By rapidly energizing and de-energizing so he creates lift, despite its clunkiness.

And then I went a bit too far and decided to add in different ways that those powers were used in combination.

AND on top of that, he's got Enhanced Pundambayan racial traits.

I'm left feeling like I put too much into him, and that's made him less of who he's supposed to be.

Though I do agree with the Reversal of his abilities. Formerly using it to enhance himself, now using it to suppress himself.

Alright, so I'll have my post up in a bit.

But once this is over, I realize now that.

Dunnaman strays too far from who Kanitah was, thematically.

I'm gonna rework his abilities so he's closer to who he was, rather than Fire and Ice extremes.

I had to FULLY system restore.

So I'm a little late on my post, if it's not up in the next hour or so I'll have it up in the afternoon.
