Current Abilities (Minora level):

Strength (Physical Power): *
Durability (Not Giving a Fuck): *
Speed (Gotta Go Fast): *
Senses (Eye Spy): *
Elemental Abilities (Gravity): *
Control (That Was Intentional, I swear!): *
Synchronisation (The Blank Space): **

>Transformation ++: Transforms your frame into an androgynous human dragon hybrid (removing clothes) possessing far greater strength, durability and speed than it would appear possible for a roughly man sized individual. Add three to Strength, Durability and Speed for parts transformed. Full body transformation is possible, but will result in light backlash due to your low synchronisation.

Draconic Flight +: When your torso is transformed, you gain a pair of wings that are more than capable of launching you into the air and a tail to help you direct yourself. Your flight is currently pretty slow and clumsy. The tail and wings are both more than capable of smacking things around, though.

Draconic Senses +: When your head is transformed, you can take use of a Dragon’s senses, which are superior to a humans. Add one to senses when transformed. These can be improved by further focus or specifically added to the human frame. You still are unused to these senses most basic level and cannot tap further into them.

Murdering stuff of at least a certain power level will give you Anima. Anima can be spent to improve abilities or improve your frame. 100 Anima is required to improve an ability from + or * to ++ or ** respectively, doubling in requirement each time you want to improve one. Once you hit a certain point, you will improve in rank, gaining relative stat boosts around the board but the level of abilities you have will remain the same, only they will be objectively better.

Current Anima: 100

Rolls will be a DC system in divisions of 5 using the D100, taking the best of the first three for the most part. Alternative systems may arise as time goes on, but we’ll see.

>Head into the Spirit Sanctum for these "tests"

You decide to simply head inside for these promised "tests" and begin winging it towards the entrance. You can sense Tiamat's approval of the plan to not rely on others for direction. As you enter the area you can see that this place has a vastly more organised architecture, a layered sphere designed around the central point of the entire Citadel going down and up via a series of vents that reach the entire way through.

As you walk in, Zophagros reappears straight in front of you, again without sight, sound or any other indication. Dammit, how quick is he! "You'll need to get down to level Three Thousand, Five Hundred and Ninety. Take any of the vents." Again, he disappears without a visible clue as to where or how. Alrighty then.

You head over to one of the various vents and dive in, using your enhanced senses to read the numbers as they flash past. You find level four thousand after half an hour of dropping and slow down, slotting into the level with some difficulty. You find after the time that your wounds have healed some more.

>Go in

You decide to simply go inside. As you approach the door, it opens in front of you. As you pass through, however, a wave of golden light ripples over you. Your transformation disappears, as do all of your injuries.
>Discovered locale: Analysis labs heal you.
"Ah, a newbie, good to see, come on, come on, lie down." A voice emerges from behind you. You turn around and behold a bizarre looking man. He stands only a few feet off the ground, is extremely stocky and has the most bizarre moustache. "Well, come on then! Lie down!"

Okay then.

As you lie down on the available bed, another bright light flashes, and!

You feel a weird buzzing before the equipment in the room sparks and explodes as one. You quickly jerk up off the bed and look around as the small man dashes around, trying to contain the damage. With a final sputter, most of the lights in the room dim and die out. You are left looking straight into the darkness.

A light flickers - no, wait, that's just the small man glowing with electricity, a triple yin yang mark like the one Satan had burning yellow on his chest. Either way you can now see. "Well, that was unexpected." The small man asks. "I haven't had one with your kind of potential power in here for a very long time. Not since that big red bastard came through. I guess i'll be able to get along with you a lot better."

"Dr. Mario."

You ask Mario what's going to happen now. "Well, know that you'va ruined all my equipment, i'm going to have to take you to see the boss to get an idea of how strong the two of you can potentially be. Without this gear, I won't be able to take any more measurements until i've got it fixed."

As Dr. Mario talks, you begin to recognise him from somewhere... Wait a minute! You DO know him! Dammit, where do you recognise him from... You remember a name... Shigeru Miyamoto...

You pause as memories begin to filter back. A flow of ideas, concepts, images. A world urbanised, with cultural icons. Including a small man in a plumbers outfit with a ridiculous moustache...

Memories of Eris that you clearly haven't made before coming here. Memories of great clashes and battles. And a memory of the great Null casting you out, erasing everyone's memories of you and yours, of your own capacity, of your connection with Tiamat. Even Tiamat has forgotten. But now...

You stumble, taken unprepared by the flood of information and stagger to one knee. "What's wrong?" Comes Tiamat's concerned voice as Dr. Mario dashes over to you, helping you back up as much as a four foot man can.

My memories are coming back.

"Well, I better get you to the boss even faster now." Says Dr. Mario. "He will want to hear the whole story."

>I'm fine, just give me a second, then we'll go see Zophagros

You tell Dr. Mario that you're fine and that in just a sec you'll go to see Zophagros.

"You already know the Boss? Well, that's a surprise. Saves me some time."

As you begin to walk towards the vent, Tiamat's voice echoes in your mind. "That was not "nothing". Your mind went through some kind of massive upheaval and I caught flashes of some kind of memory rush. Care to explain?"

As Dr. Mario shines with gold light and begins hovering before shooting up the vent, you flare your wings and follow him.

As you fly up, you attempt to show Tiamat mentally the same memories that had flooded into you.

>nat fucking 100
>UBERCRIT

You watch in the blank space as Tiamat begins to stiffen as well as the same memory flood occurs to her. You see what she meant by flashes as several key things rebound across your mental link to form in your memories as well. A single great pull. Then endless release. A feeling of eternity. Then confinement. A great battle. A fall and a wiped mind.

As the rush fades, you feel that the link between you and Tiamat has improved.

>Synchronisation to ***. Full body transformation no longer has backlash. There is now potential for... more....
>Over time, Tiamat and Your old memories will return. This can be accelerated by traumatic or especially significant events. It will likely have an impact on your capacities.

As you fly you notice Dr. Mario beginning to slow down. "He's around here somewhere." he says. "This way."

As you fly into the corridor on level Two Thousand Three Hundred and Nine, you see a fork in the road.

alright, coin toss time. A 1 is take left fork, a 2 is ask the good doctor

>Take the left fork - you can hear the clacking of draconic claws on the material of this place.

You decide to head left. No-one ever heads left. It's always to the right. Or is it the other way around? "I don't know myself" says Tiamat.

As you round the bend, you are treated to the sight of a large empty room with a single unusual looking core in the middle. In front of the core, arms raised is Zophagros. His hair is splayed out behind him in a giant poof going in all directions. That wouldn't be so bad if his hair wasn't a good three feet long. He looks like a giant spiky sea urchin from the back.

As you walk in, Zophagros calls out to you. "Ah, there you are. I saw you break Dr. Mario's machine back there. However, I also saw your memory surge. It's troubling, but that is a matter for another time." He turns around, his hair shrinking into horns as he takes a half dragon shape remarkably like yours, only golden and more heavily armoured, with the same solid blue eyes. "I've got to determine just how strong you have the potential to be."

Zophagros holds out his hand and rests it on your head. It would be somewhat comical, what with you being a good half foot taller than him if not for the fact that you are beginning to know just how strong Zophagros is and you're starting to remember/understand how old he is.

The room erupts in bright light for yet another time in a short period as-!

>Pass the check
>30<x<40

You feel a quick scan flow through your brain as Zophagros hunts for the nature of your power. You manage to hide the majority of things unrelated to your strength from him, but not all. However, it was a good effort.

"Well, this is unexpected." Zophagros is now standing a couple of feet back, looking at you with those solid blue eyes. "I knew that you had great potential, but not quite this much!" He shakes his head.

"You know about the ranking system for spirits? How it ends at Ultimate and the one just before, Universal? Well, I have news for you. Tiamat is an Ultimate spirit. The Ultimate Spirit of Gravity, Gravity being the forces that exist between molecules and particles that attract and repel others."

Wat.

"I'm going to have to give you a personal hand here, your raw power has the potential to be ranked in the top thirty or forty of all in the Null-Spirit war. And with precision training and quick thinking, you could even engage those above that."

What.

Zophagros grins. "Meet me at level 1 in a few hours. I'm going to show you how to use your heritage."

WHAT.

And with that, i'm done for now. Thanks everyone who played, i'll be posting when i'm up next at https://twitter.com/Mirage4343 so you can hear in advance. Thanks for coming and see you next time for a serious power boost.

If anyone has any questions, i'll be hanging around for a while as well, so feel free to ask.

>>41194729
Thanks, Mirage! It's been a fun time.

>>41194741
Been fun so far Mirage, ill check in next time if i make the thread.

How are we going to diversify ourselves, power wise? We have gravity now but what about other elements?

In what way will we gain them, and when we do will it become part of us or will it be a learned ability?

>>41195085
Your power is more or less locked into gravity. The trick is how to manipulate that power. Zophagros is locked into the idea of "storm" - being wind, rain and lightning. However, he can do things like create objects out of nothing by forcibly moving atoms via electrons into shapes that work for him. The trick is simply how you USE your power to get the most out of it - one of Zophagros' favourite tricks is simply disintegrating his opponent by forcibly destroying them at a molecular level. Gravity being the forces between molecules should give you some ideas for creating things, destroying things, more or less manipulating life.

You may pick up some tricks, but it's unlikely. It's far more likely that you will learn how to use gravity to simulate those other tricks identically.

>>41195137
I see, so our gravity element is to be exploited, rather than megaman'ing all of the elements until we can do everything.

Interesting. When is the next thread happening so i can have a better chance at being there?

>>41195192
Likely tomorrow around 11am Australian WST. Check the twitter feed.

Also, if someone could archive the thread, I can't for some reason right now.
