Spirit Rage

Pending.

For starters, I'm going to need you to remove all of your techniques C through A class, as you won't have access to them, and they shouldn't be listed on your available power sheet just yet for me to grade them all now when there is no point (keep them saved in word document for a later date). It's a lot of work for me to do in one go that shouldn't be yet necessary, that's why we allow upgrades when it's time, and I'll be happy to get to them then. Besides, there is already plenty I feel I need to look over.

I'll quote the remainder of your profile below in a spoiler, the remains I see being left-over after such techniques being taken out, and grade the D-Class technique now.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Without the techniques}STRENGTH:
Mich isn’t very strong by human standards—which is why she was bullied as a child. Her strength manifested more so in her territory, but left her still physically weak. She is only strong when activating her territory in a fit of rage.

SPEED:
While she is faster than she is strong (had to learn how to run away when she couldn’t fight back), her speed isn’t abnormal in human terms.

PERCEPTION: +1
She has exceptional perception, able to sense spirits, demons, and become spiritually aware.

STAMINA: +1
Her willpower is stronger than anything else about her, due to inner rage and determination. Because of this, she can withstand large amounts of pain (in human terms, she has a high tolerance) and will not give up until all of her energy is depleted and she literally passes out.

CONTROL:
She doesn’t have much control over her abilities because they come from rage and anger, which do not lend themselves to restraints. It is difficult to calm her down once she’s angered, which is a negative aspect of her territory.

(Since this is my first attempt at throwing up powers, and I'm adapting this ability from an original design, let me know what works and what doesn't; I'll fix as needed. I assume this falls under Channeling since it is a form of spirit energy much like Yusuke's powers, but it could also be a territory or outcast, depending on how you want to categorize it.)

POWER CEILING/CHANNELING
Spirit Rage: spirit power and energy fueled by rage and anger. The user’s aura is dark and violent, dealing out vicious attacks according to the amount of rage, and makes the user highly aggressive.

-Cons:
[*]gives user a migraine
[*]has to be angry to fight
[*]drains more energy and requires longer rest
[*]makes user unstable (ticking time bomb with no detonator, able to go off at any time)

-Pros:
[*]is fueled and controlled by emotion (and not by the strength of the physical body)
[*]pain is weakened/lessoned; gives more stamina to the user
[*]allows for revenge against stronger enemies


Spirit Rage usually occurs to those who have quick tempers, are easily angered, or prone to violence due to physical or mental handicap (small size/short stature, low intelligence, deformity or handicap, rough lifestyle, etc.). It gives the user a darker outlook or personality, so is generally used by evil or dark-aligned individuals, although it depends on how the anger is used and where it comes from. Anger due to loss of a loved one or injustice gives out a positive type of anger, or justifiable anger. Anger due to loss of status/funds/desires, greed, or anger with intent to kill sends out a negative type of anger, or unjustified anger. Both are equal in power but usually affect the alliance of the individual.

Light-aligned individuals use their anger to combat injustice and prevent further crime. Dark-aligned individuals use it for revenge or power to take what they want. Light aligned users generally overcome their anger and ascend to a different kind of spirit power or none at all.

The trick to mastering this type of spirit energy, and thus mastering the abilities, is to always be angry.

How it works: Regular humans already have abilities similar to the above, mostly due to adrenaline. When you get angry, adrenaline kicks in, which is the cause for fight or flight response within the human body. Adrenaline boosts strength and defense, causing impossible feats of strength while making the body ignore wounds and other pain. The more adrenaline, the stronger the effects. When combined with actual spirit energy these become tangible offensive and defensive attacks or abilities, heightened by spiritual power.

The only thing more powerful is spirit power that comes from love, compassion, and a sense of protectiveness: Spirit of the Heart, or Heart Spirit. This is the ascended form of Spirit Rage, accompanied by peace and a high duty to loved ones and justice. It is able to break the barriers of anger and is usually used to subdue spirit rage users.

Her power ceiling allows….

FIGHTING STYLE—RAGE OF THE DRAGON
Because Mich relies mostly on her Spirit Rage, her fighting style is often violent and frenzied, throwing punches wildly and going for the kill instead of merely incapacitation. When she fights, she goes by instinct alone and does not think of the consequences to follow, only survival. This can be dangerous to opponents because she has a fatalistic outlook, meaning her fights are usually to the death unless her foe gives up/surrenders, beats her, or runs away; unless her energy is used up before she can kill her opponent. It’s not personal, but a remnant of her past for protection of her future.

TECHNIQUES

(I divided them up by class with what I thought was an appropriate ranking system, so for now she only has the first ability under D-class, and upon ranking she attains the next, etc. I'm too lazy to update them each time she levels up. Feel free to add further cielings and whatnot to each technique.)

D-Class: Stubborn Will: Anger creates a barrier around not only the body, but also the soul. Spirit energy acts as an impenetrable fortress around the soul, protecting it from outside influences. Stubbornness and denial are common symptoms of anger, and which are the main drive behind the force of the wall. Because the user refuses to allow any harm to come to the soul and is backed by a stubborn will and angry denial, it cannot be taken or removed by strength alone. This also means that when the user dies the soul retains some power, although is easily corrupted. Once a user doubts anger’s strength, or when not angry, the soul becomes vulnerable again. 

As for your D-class power, "Stubborn Will", and your profile's Pro's and Con's. The character doesn't truly receive 'boosts' of any kind due to adrenaline, let alone emotions, like increased strength or some sort of immunity. It is your spiritually enhanced body that the Strength, Speed, Perception, and all the stats come from that make up your potential, and it is your spiritual energy (Reiki/Yoki) that power your abilities/techniques, which those are.

You can allow your abilities to be initiated and absolved by emotion, in that you must be angry for it to be in-effect (which will nerf you needlessly), but not fueled or sustained by just feeling a certain way (angry). Your emotions would be what bring about the technique to be able to manifest/occur, but the energy you pay will be it's value (cost).

As a territory or any power type that targets your emotions, your body, and your soul- This won't affect opponents. You seem to make it out to be vague, like others will be using it or influenced by it, but the territory is limited to 'emotions', which is pretty much your mind, so it would be limited to work on only your character. Otherwise you'd be forcing another player's character to get angry or feel a certain way, which you shouldn't be able to do (take control of another PC's actions/thoughts/feelings), since it lingers on a taboo subject of combat roleplay where someone other than the user is controlling another PC's (Player Character's) emotions/feelings/thoughts.

I'd say it'd work best as a Channeler, since most of your abilities so far are based on some sort of spiritual creation. So you should take out the part in your Strength stat that mentions a "territory", and just mention it's nothing notable compared to spiritual beings, and more relative to human strength.


So please make the edits I've asked, and then add in your power ceiling in the coding below:

Her power ceiling for "Stubborn Will" allows her to create barrier around their soul (body) for an Effort cost to initiate, and a two (2) Casual cost each post after to sustain. This allows her to withstand D-Class techniques, as well as increasing her Stamina by one (1) point. Opponent's whose Strength is equal to her Stamina accomplish under half the damage, and those lower do little to no damage.

Pending Approval.
Your power needs a little bit more tampering with because it's kind of suggestive as to how powerful it is, which will be changed with my amends to it. It gradually increases in power as you advance into the rankings, so don't fret.

How it first read:

D-Class: Stubborn Will: Anger creates a barrier around not only the body, but also the soul. Spirit energy acts as an impenetrable fortress around the soul, protecting it from outside influences. Stubbornness and denial are common symptoms of anger, and which are the main drive behind the force of the wall.

This also means that when the user dies the soul retains some power, although is easily corrupted. Once a user doubts anger’s strength, or when not angry, the soul becomes vulnerable again.

How it should read:

D-Class: Stubborn Will: When angry her energy can create a barrier around not only the body, but also the soul, and thus mind. Spirit energy acts as an impenetrable fortress around them, protecting it from outside influences of varying kinds. Stubbornness and denial are common symptoms of anger, and which are the main drive behind the force of the energy- Stubbornly denying what is going on outside of it. Only those of a higher class can influence her while this technique is in-play.

Once that is all done and taken care of I will approve.
