mad_puppeteerThis is a permissions post for Relius Clover. Due to his abilities in canon I feel it is good to post this up so people know and understand just what he can do and decide if they wish to subject their muses to his tests. Below is a description of the abilities I think are pertinent to know about.
Soul Sight: As it is canon in BlazBlue, Relius has the ability to see souls. In the BlazBlue universe a soul appears to be a shining blue orb with points. Each point represents someone or something dearly important to the person. Think of it like a compass. The points guide a person's actions and feelings. Some souls have many points and others can have none. Stronger souls are more compact and formed while weaker souls are more airy and scattered.
Relius is only interested in strong souls. So weak souls hold little to no interest for him. Should you be okay with Relius seeing your character's soul he can only do so either through a) observation over time or b) in battle. A soul is much easier to see when a person is fighting as they are putting their soul on the line, so to speak.
Should your character's canon have a different interpretation of a soul or a different look, Relius will see that instead of what he is used to. However, if your canon doesn't go into what your character's soul looks like, comment here, PM, or IM me and we can discuss what Relius will see.
On top of this, Relius also has an empathic ability afforded to him through the same power. He can sense emotions, though he usually focuses on the more negative ones like fear and hatred. This will mean he can pick up on emotions coming off of characters, though if he will speak of them or not is another matter entirely.
This ability does feed into the next one as they are connected.
Soul/Mind Touch and Manipulation: The Soul Sight ability feeds into this one. This ability allows Relius to delve into the mind and soul of a victim. First he must tire them out through battle but one they are weakened; he can use his power to venture into their soul. He doesn't do so in a physical sense but he sees into their soul and can pull out emotions and memories, bringing them to the surface as he searches for the fulcrum of a soul.
A soul's fulcrum is the point/emotional center that if used can shatter a soul. Relius is able to search through people's souls to find this and is able to break and rebuild souls if he finds it. This will mean him being able to shift and manipulate your character, remaking them into whatever he wishes. However, due to the laws of matter he can only rearrange a soul. This means when he puts it back together, your character is still them only he has rearranged dominant and recessive traits within their soul.
He can bring out the darker parts of your character while suppressing the lighter side. Or vise versa if it suits his fancy and plans. This ability is one that causes the victim emotional pain and trauma as usually he is pulling out painful and dark memories and thoughts. He pulls them out to find the fulcrum and then goes to work.
Like before this ability does feed into another.
Battle Dolls: Relius is able to construct battle dolls out of people as he did with Ignis, his wife, and Ada, his Daughter. For the aspects of this in a game, he may be able to turn your character into a battle doll, just like Ignis. To do this he will need to construct a doll out of metal and parts that resembles your character. He most likely will create the doll to mirror and compliment the person's powers and personality.
Then should he get a hold of your character, he can break their soul and reform it to survive within the doll and be subservient to him. Once in the doll, Relius would be able to command it to attack his enemies, even if they were once the victim's friends and family. There would be way to reverse the process if both the doll and the still living body of the victim are brought together. Magic can re-transplant the soul back into the body and then the soul should correct itself into it's former state. Some residual trauma could occur as well as memories of being inside the doll body but that's up to you.
The next ability is tied again to the Soul Manipulation ability and is another branch to how Relius can use it to transform someone into something else.
Murakumo Units and the Kusanagi Unit: Relius is also the father of the Prime Field Devices. A Prime Field Device is a being that can be launched into the Boundary of his world and survive. They are battle androids that are capable of stunning feats and power. Do create this, unlike the Battle Dolls, he uses the actual body of the victim. He manipulates their soul to better fit the needs of a Murakumo Unit and suppresses their personality.
He also draws out any innate powers of the individual and uses it to create their sword. To do this he places the person and their raw power into a Cauldron that should be linked to a power source to fuel them. Doing this will form their power into a sword that will transform into the armor of the Murakumo Unit. For samples of this look below;
With Sword
With Armor
Once one is a Murakumo Unit, Relius could turn them into a Kusanagi Unit, the God-Slayer, through the infusion of the Murakumo Unit with souls. The Murakumo Unit is placed within a Cauldron and the souls are sent inside to smelt the new unit. Once done, their power is increased exponentially but something is needed to do this from the Unit too; hatred. Hatred of all things and the world is needed to successfully forge the Kusanagi Unit.
Please comment below with what you are okay with happening to your character and what you are not. Also, the Battle Dolls, the Murakumo Unit, and Kusanagi Unit long term plotting will need to be done first as Relius will not simply make these without a long term goal in mind. The most often preformed abilities will be Soul Sight (the most common) and the Soul Manipulation (uses less often). Thank you for your time. ^^

However, he at least can easily set up for the latter transformations (though turning Rita into the Kusanagi Unit would be nigh impossible).

on 2012-09-06 05:37 am (UTC)With that in mind, the events of Graces are still the freshest and strongest in Hubert's mind. It made him a better person overall so a lot of his darker traits have been pushed back down. He still feels a bit of resentment towards both sets of parents, but most of his anger towards Asbel has tempered considerably. It's difficult to say there's been a lot of "trauma" in Hubert's life, but there has certainly been a lot of struggle and problems coming to terms with the things that have happened to him.
That said, he can be manipulated, it will just take a lot of pulling at the right points.
Battle Doll/Murakumo Units and the Kusanagi Unit: I would be okay with either under the right circumstances, so long as he could return to normal at some point.

on 2012-09-06 07:15 am (UTC)Soul Sight: Zelda's soul likely looks more than a little odd. Her destiny is set in stone, and her soul is that of a goddess-turned-mortal. Other people with soul perceiving abilities have seen it as having a golden color to it. She is extremely strong willed and would probably be perceived as having a stronger soul. (When he looks into Sola's "soul", he will be able to tell that Zelda is the one that reconstructed his body, most likely.)
Soul/Mind Touch and Manipulation: She's been working on her telepathic abilities since arriving in Vatheon and would probably at least attempt to push him back, so we'll just go down that road if it ever happens.

on 2012-09-06 12:29 pm (UTC)- Katsu's soul is kind of complicated due to the fact that he has demonic power as well as angelic power, and has part of a very old soul in him.
- Ryu's only half of a soul. I'm not sure how that would show up for Relius. He also has a pretty powerful one, as he's half a god.
- Otoha has a human soul (though a strong one) - but his soul isn't in his body. It's in an amulet he carries with him.
Soul/Mind Touch and Manipulation:
Fine for all of mine, but grab me before you do it. Otoha would be the easiest to do it on. Katsu has some resistance to most types of magic or attacks, and Ryu might get some natural protection due to being a god.
Battle Dolls:
Yes for Otoha, no for the other two.
Murakumo Unit/Kusanagi Unit:
Nnno. :|b

on 2012-09-08 01:20 pm (UTC)Soul/Mind Touch and Manipulation: Sadly he has no magic to block this so I'm game. His dark traits can be pulled by thinking human lives can be a game. Anything that makes him feel superior to human beings. Also if Relius can pull 17 to thinking his creator was he admired, this would also cause him to follow the will of his creator. He will use mostly will-power to resist, but that's about it.
Battle Doll: Again, I'm game.
