| Subject: Seshat - Artificial Persona for Susan Groves - Endymion Thu Nov 02, 2017 11:02 pm | |
| Persona Name: Seshat, Mistress of the House of Books Persona Type: Artificial Persona Persona's Arcana: Priestess Owner: Susan Groves - Persona Appearance:
Seshat takes spiritual form in the shape of mummy much like Egyptian royalty with a key difference: her bandages are constructed from papyrus. She Who Scrivens is a skeletal creature wrapped in scrolls. While the papyrus is a striking white-yellow color it appears black as every word every written is scrawled across the wraps that cover her body. She appears to be burning or decaying with black flecks that float from her form, and these spots of black that drift off of her are the combined words of every document destroyed or word erased at that moment in time. Underneath the bandages a bleached skeleton is clearly visible, most prominent in her slender fingers rounded filed down as the papyrus wrapping has long been worn away and her fingertips rubbed into a point after an eternity of brushwork.
Seshat's face is notably missing, either a metaphor for her knowledge and writing speaking for her or as a reflection of how often she is forgotten in favor of her husband Thoth. Her wispy silhouette stands at 6'3". Her personality is completely absent, and in this spectral form Seshat will do exactly as Susan commands and will not speak. Persona Background: Seshat is known as The Mistress of the House of Books or She Who Scrivens, also known as Safekh-Aubi (She of the Seven Points) in later texts. Seshat is known as the Egyptian goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing, architecture, accounting, astronomy, mathematics, astrology, building, and surveying. She is known as a scribe and her priests were in charge of handling Egyptian libraries and keeping records. It is said that she is either the consort or daughter of Thoth, Egyptian god of knowledge, and while she invented writing Thoth taught it to man. She Who Scrivens is often depicted making notches into a reed for counting and her heiroglyph is associated with the word "year" for her marking of the passage of time.Strengths: Light Weaknesses: Fire Passive Boosts: +5% to Support skills Persona Skill ListSkill 1: Dia | Recovers a small amount of HP (30%) to one ally. | 4 SP | Tier 1 Skill 2: Patra | Removes Panic, Fear, or Distress from one ally. | 3 SP | Tier 1 Skill 3: Kouga | Inflicts moderate Light damage towards one enemy | 6 SP | Tier 2 Skill 4: Red Wall | Increases an ally's Fire resistance for 3 turns (resist fire effect). | 18 SP | Tier 2 (Unlocked once using your Persona fifteen times in combat; Must be Tier 2 Skill or Lower) Skill 5: Pathway of Light | Every travel turn taken within a dungeon will recover 10% of SP for each party member being supported. | Passive | Tier 3 (Must have used your Persona Overdose to defeat three enemies in one battle or have used your Persona an additional 30 times in PvS combat; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 6: Samarecarm | Revives one fallen ally with full HP. | 40 SP | Tier 3 (Unlocked once using your Persona an additional 30 times in PvS combat; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 7: Healing Wave | All team members [no matter location] will recover 15% of their HP every three turns during battle/dungeon crawling and 15% health once the battle ends. | Passive | Tier 3 [PvS Phase combat exclusively](Unlocked once using your Persona an additional 30 times in PvS combat; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 8: Remote Heal | Allows user to cast recovery skills on party members without needing to be within their exact location. [Must be in same dungeon/topic] | Passive | Tier 4 (Unlocked after using your Persona an additional 50 times in PvS combat; Must be a Tier 4 Skill or Lower)Special Ability: Ability Name: Persona Overdose Persona Name: Seshat - Appearance:
When Susan enters Persona Overdose her Persona, Seshat, will take a more human appearance contrasting with her normal corpse-like visage. She gains a face, hair, and clothing befitting a pharaoh though she is certainly still mummified and long dead. During this time Seshat's bandages will wrap around Susan's limbs like a marionette and Susan's expression will dull. In that moment Seshat will gain control of Susan and speak through her, though both their mouths will move only Susan will speak in a lost and distant voice. Translucent glyphs will appear around her at this time, displaying what she scans or spelling out roughly what she speaks. Description: Rogues get an ability called “Persona Overdose” that can be used once per battle. In this mode, for three turns, the Rogues get access to a completely new skillset, swapping it for their previous one for that time limit. The new skills are unlocked as the Rogue gains skills normally, and they can be anything, so long as the skill has the same tier as the tier of the skill in their normal skillset. For example, your first skill is Tier 1 in your normal skillset. That means your first skill in your “Persona Overdose” skillset can be any skill as long as it is Tier 1. You can also change your strengths and weaknesses in this mode as long as you have the same amount of strengths and weaknesses as your original skillset does. Your available skills in “Persona Overdose” also are unlocked at the same time you unlock your normal skills. So if a Rogue only has five skills unlocked in their regular skillset, they can only have access to the first five skills in their Overdose mode. Once the three turns are up, their skillset reverts to normal, and for the next three turns, your active Persona skills will be randomized each post, as well as the target for said skill, meaning you will not have any control over what your Persona does for the duration of the three turns. Strengths: None Weaknesses: None Passive Boosts: +15% Luck, +15% SP Persona Overdose Skillset:Skill 1: Regenerate 1 | Recovers 2% of max HP on each user turn | Passive | Tier 1 Skill 2: Invigorate 1 | Recovers 3 SP on each user turn | Passive | Tier 1 Skill 3: Analysis | Used to detect an enemy's stats and weak points | 15 SP | Tier 2 Skill 4: Third Eye | When you scan a target, there will be a warning if the attack will be Repelled, or Absorbed. | Passive | Tier 2 (Unlocked once unlocking your fourth skill in your original skillset; Must be Tier 2 Skill or Lower) Skill 5: Escape Route | Automatically exit or enter a Dungeon no matter where you. Yourself or All Allies. | SP 55 | Tier 3 (Unlocked once unlocking your fifth skill in your original skillset; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 6: Null Panic | Protects user from Panic. | Passive | Tier 3 (Unlocked once unlocking your sixth skill in your original skillset; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 7: Heavenly Wind | User empowers their teammates with an enhancing aura right before their next attacks. This will make their next attacks unavoidable. | 25 SP | Tier 3 [PvS only] (Unlocked once unlocking your seventh skill in your original skillset; Must be a Tier 3 Skill or Lower) Skill 8: Double Hustle | Showers the team in an aura of speed, allowing them to perform two skills/attacks in a single post. [Does not include self and has 5 posts cooldown] | 50 SP | Tier 4 (Unlocked once unlocking your eighth skill in your original skillset; Must be a Tier 4 Skill or Lower)Soul Skill Name: Rewrite Persona Name: Seshat Tier: Tier 1 Cost: 3 SP when actively used, no Passive cost Type of Damage: Passive/Support Description: Seshat, being the Egyptian Goddess of Writing, has full control over the written word and imparts this onto Susan. Susan can generate written words on surfaces she touches, marking down what she wishes to instantly, and can change the written word that already happens to be there as well as erasing writing. This change appears natural with no sign of tampering or forgery although her ability to do this relies on her realistic perception of things and does not affect anything else about the medium the word is written on. For instance, if Susan is not aware that a document has a watermark it will not be changed, if she changes the serial number on a dollar bill it can be wrong and be flagged, and changing the numbers on a credit card does not change the data contained in its magnetic strip. This ability can interact with electronic devices but only makes permanent changes if Susan is able to interact with and save the source code, so she can't change things like websites willy-nilly for everyone but she can make a website on a screen that someone is looking at look vastly different until they reload the page. Because Susan can forge her own money to an extent she gains an extra 15% of the VC she earns from all sources.

| Enscribe must last for three turns in battle. Not sure about the out-of-battle usage. A day is way too long for just a Tier 1. It would just last for three posts regardless at this point. | |

| I'm fine with the extent of the ability. But the general ability, outside of the extra 15% VC, would be an active skill. So make it an active skill of 3 SP for the general rewrite for everything. But we can just treat the extra 15% VC as its own passive portion in the skill. | |

| The 3 SP cost has been added to Rewrite as suggested, Arcana has changed to Priestess as discussed. | |
