| Persona Name: Tyr Persona Type: Tainted Persona Persona's Arcana: Chariot Owner: Eryka Persona Appearance: - picture:
Despite the real figure of Tyr being that of a one armed god with facial hair dense enough to serve as its own black hole, this one is in fact represented as a tank. Standing ten feet tall by fifteen feet long and eight feet wide this tank features ELEVEN separate barrels. Painted in a slick green and marked with white strips along the sides it is undoubtedly an imposing presence. Persona Background: - Spoiler:
The first connection between Eryka and Tyr is down to a few things. The first of which being how Tyr is a Germanic god ties directly to Eryka’s own nationality. The second of which would be how Tyr gave up his own right arm as the price to bind Fenris which actually relates to how Eryka lost her own arm; Eryka lost her own arm as a direct result of trying to rescue someone else from a collapsing building which she’s honestly rather ashamed of.
Another connection is how Tyr was once, before being replaced by Odin as the head of the pantheon, a god of war but also law. In the same way war can be used to achieve victory over a foe so too can the rule of law which ties in with Eryka’s view that any means used to achieve victory is perfectly justified. The last connection is how Tyr represents the legal decisions and principles of justice surrounding war relate to how Eryka feels utterly justified in considering the “conflict” between the government and their opponents a war against the stability of society.
Now for the big one. Why is Tyr, a one handed god of war and law from Germanic mythology, represented by a giant tank? The answer to that is simple: progress. During the time of the gods where religion, mythology and tradition were the prevailing equivalent of “law” Tyr’s appearance would have been one of many representations of war however, that is no longer the case. When people think of war nowadays what comes to mind? Tanks, soldiers, bombs and other assorted weapons of war. The tank is now considered a symbol of war which, when combined with Eryka’s own pragmatic attitude, is the reason why Tyr has adopted the form of one.
As a final relatively minor, and honestly weak, connection, the fact Tyr has genuinely been forgotten and replaced in the Nordic pantheon by Odin (at least when it comes to the general public) reflects one of Eryka’s own views. She does not want to be famous. She desires not to be a public figure nor a hero. She merely wishes to do her duty and find meaning in knowing that she has carried her duty out correctly. This also ties into how, most likely, Tyr himself was perfectly content with sacrificing his arm to allow Fenris to be bound. He most likely took pride in that deed despite how the majority of humanity has forgotten him. Strengths: Gun Weaknesses: Fire Passive Boosts: Eryka has a latent 15% boost in physical-based skills and a 15% defense boost against slash skills. Tainted Persona Skill List: ( Skill 1: Dia | Recovers a small amount of HP (30%) to one ally. | 4 SP | Tier 1 Skill 2: Snap | Inflicts a small amount of Gun damage to one foe. | 5% HP | Tier 1 Skill 3: Hell Thrust | Inflicts a moderate amount of Gun damage to one foe with a 20% chance to reduce the enemy's defense by 30% | 15% HP | Tier 2 Skill 4: Auto-Tarukaja Begin the battle with Tarukaja cast on yourself. | Passive | Tier 2 (Unlocked once using your Tainted Persona 25 times in PvS combat) Skill 5: Heaven's Bow | Inflicts a heavy amount of Gun Damage to all enemies | 18% HP | Tier 3 (Unlocked once winning at least 10 PvS battles and using your Persona an additional 30 times in PvS combat) Skill 6: One-shot Kill | Inflicts a heavy amount of Gun damage to one foe with a 30% chance to critically hit. | 19% HP | Tier 3 (Unlocked once using your Tainted Persona an additional 35 times in PvS combat or capturing a Psyche Terrorist above your level) Skill 7: Riot Gun | Inflicts a massive amount of Gun damage to all foes. | 25% HP | Tier 4 (Unlocked once completing a mission posted solely for cadets and using your Persona an additional 45 times in PvS combat) [i]Skill 8: Arms Master | Halves the HP cost for physical attack skills. | Passive | Tier 4 (Unlocked after defeating one of the NPC Velvet Attendants in combat or using your Persona an additional 45 times in PvS combat) Tainted Soul: (The Ultimate fusion between you and your Tainted Persona. When using this, your Persona fuses within your soul, corrupting it and transforming you into a higher being temporarily. Once this is done, you take on a more otherworldly appearance thanks to being possessed by your Tainted Persona, but your stats are all doubled. This form lasts for three turns, and once it is over you revert back to your original form and all your stats are reverted to 1 till the end of the topic or you use an item/skill to recover. This can only be used once per topic and once being used, your Tainted Persona can no longer be used within the same topic.) Tainted Form Name: King of the Battlefield. Persona Name: Tyr Tainted Form Appearance: - pic:
When fusing with her Persona, Eryka’s change is not as drastic as one might think., The tank merely breaks apart, the pieces flying towards Eryka and forming a suit of armour around her...a ten foot tall suit of armour. The helmet is decorated primarily by a v-shaped slit functioning as eyes and a plume of hair, which splits into long tendrils ending in sharp spikes. As for the armour itself, it is smooth and slightly curved, consisting primarily of plates of black metal layered over each other. These plates naturally lead downwards into clawed gauntlets and pointed sabatons creating a visual motif akin to the layered carapaces of millipedes. Description: In this form Eryka’s abilities become that of her Persona yet, sadly, the destructive urge to wage endless war consumes Eryka’s mind and drives her to utterly eradicate anything before her. Beyond that it has the same suite of effects all Possessed forms have, allowing her to use three skills a turn and locking her Persona away for the rest of the thread upon expiration. Soul Skill Name: Immortal arms ownership. Persona Name: Tyr Tier: Tier 1 Cost: 4 SP. Type of Damage: Strike Description: Eryka’s soul skill allows any object held in her right arm, her prosthetic limb, to function as a tier one soul bound weapon that can only ever deal strike damage. However, despite this there is a rather long list of limitations One: This skill can only be activated while Eryka's arm is functioning. Two: The effect only applies to “simple” objects like swords, knives, metal pipes and baseball bats with more complex things such as guns or chainsaws ruled out. Other soul bounds are also ruled out. Three: The moment Eryka lets go of the object in question, the effect immediately ends. Four: It only applies when her RIGHT arm is gripping an object. Five: it functions in her tainted form and regular form. Six: This soul skill can be toggled on and off however, while toggled on it lasts for three posts/rounds. Seven: It only applies to objects she can physically hold and lift up, so a car would be out of the question.

| For your Soul Skill you cannot passively gain access to other attack elements at Tier 1. If you want to make your Soulbound weapon attacks a different element at Tier 1 it needs to be one established element in your skill, not one you get to choose on the spot, and it needs to be a buff effect.
As far as everything else goes the effect is fine but it will need to be a buff effect, this is too much for a Passive at Tier 1. If it is not a Passive it needs a duration to the effect and a cost.
This last bit really doesn't apply but it's for consideration. Per your description, because this is a passive skill and is active whenever Eryka's prosthetic arm is active as a Soulbound which you said is all the time, any simple object you carry will act as a Soulbound weapon. Always. The way you've written it you won't be able to turn it off. EVER, as long as your prosthesis functions. If you hand someone a piece of paper you could kill them, you probably can't ever write anything down again because you'd tear through it, etc. Think about how the skill functions and if you'd want this, you could get this effect as a Passive probably as early as Tier 3 with some other stuff attached but you probably want a greater deal of control over it.
The rest of the app is fine, just edit the skill a bit. | |

| Your skill still requires a cost, you can't have a buff for free even if it has a cooldown. I would rule that without any current PvS application and with the versatility of the skill you could have it for 4 SP and you wouldn't need to have the cooldown. | |

| > 4 HP I don't think so. If you're attributing an HP cost it needs to be a percentage, but this is a buff. It's magic. So it takes magical resources, so SP, unless your health was involved with the buff or had a neat mechanic for it. And if you have a cost for a skill, dude, put it under cost on the skill. | |

| Alright, minor hiccup but it's fine now.
So like I was gonna say, for reference the object you use as a Soulbound will need to be the same element as Eryka's prosthetic arm and will count as a normal Tier 1, unupgraded Soulbound. In PvP activating your skill will take your Soul Skill action but deactivating it won't take any actions.
Is this all good for you? | |
