=== Arc Traits === {| class="wikitable" |+ '''Child of Ash (0)''' |- | '''Estate''' | ''The Roaring Sea'' | A malestrom of violent waters and active volcanoes; lands constantly swallowed by water and waves before erupting back to the surface in pillars of molent fire! Storms are forever sweeping across the seas, lightning and thunder raging overhead or in the distance. This is a place of struggle and strife - but also the burning will to survive! Because even here, in this place of heartless chaos, life springs eternal - sea birds squawk overhead, and plants grow as best they can on the oldest islands. |- | '''Mood''' | ''Rage'' | Riley is possessed by Rage in its purest form. She is smouldering anger, burning spite, uncontrolled devastation and icy hate. |- | '''Wicked Mode''' | ''Valor'' | Rage isn't always destructive. It is also the element of certainty. Of doing what must be done. Bravery, and righteousness are Rage contained, controlled and directed. | Whenever Riley is preparing for a quest, getting ready to confront a challenge or setting out specifically to do heroism she can switch to her 'Wicked mode'. |- | '''Set the Mood''' | ''Imperial Miracle'' | Using Set the Mood, Riley's Arc mood will spread! Things around her become progressively more...Mood-filled. After a few minutes, this qualifies as a Region Property in the setting for this scene. This can also be invoked on a specific person who will have a moment of being...as much of your mood as possible given the circumstances! | '''0 MP''' - given time, you can evoke a certain mood | '''4 MP''' - invoke this power with a word |- | '''[Mood]-Sploison''' | ''Imperial Miracle'' | Once per book, Riley may evoke her Arc Mood on a grand scale. This functions as a wish, albeit a specific one. The time it takes to invoke this effect is variable, but cosmetic - it never takes 'too long'. If 4 MP was spent to activate this, she can set the time frame herself, including 'instant'. | '''0 MP''' - 1/book, invoke a "[Mood]-Sploison" | '''4 MP''' - use this power a second or later time in a book |- | '''Kaiju Form''' | ''Imperial Miracle'' | Riley can let Rage overwhelm her body - drawing on its power, even as it threatens to consume her. Her blood becomes molten fire, blue flame pours from her eye and her hair glows red and orange with a raw, inner power. More than that, though, is the ''feeling'' that descends around her. Like the certainty of knowing a God - invisible and intangible - is in their temple, it feels as though a great and terrible monster has settled around Riley: as if unseeable and just out of sight...but for the occasional claw marks carved into solid stone, or the faint breathing of something large just behind you. | '''0 MP''' - become a kaiju over the course of several minutes | '''4 MP''' - become a kaiju instantly |- | '''Mortal Form''' | ''Imperial Miracle'' | Containing Rage - putting the genie back in the bottle - is a little harder than letting it out. Riley needs to get away from her friends at the end of a chapter - go somewhere quiet and unobserved. Regaining control might take her ''days'' on her own. In fact, for a while, it's so difficult that it might be worth having someone talk her back to normal as the resolution of an issue instead of paying the normal cost! | '''0 MP''' - 1/book, between two chapters, Riley can revert to her non-kaiju form. | '''1 MP''' - switch back a second or later time per book. | '''2 MP''' - switch back mid-chapter (over the course of a few minutes) | '''4 MP''' - assume her non-kaiju form instantly |- | '''Shed Scales''' | ''Miraculous Action'' | Riley is indifferent to scale. Her kaiju form can bat aside the fists of giants, punch through battleships, and more besides! Invoke Shed Scales to ignore a Size-Related obstacle up to her Arc's Trait rating. | '''0 MP''' - starting mid-scene, ignore a size related obstacle 1-2x/scene. | '''1 MP''' - starting mid-scene, do so an additional time. | '''2 MP''' - starting mid-scene, do so as often as necessary this scene. | '''4 MP''' - do so as often as you'd like this scene. |- | '''Immortality''' | ''Miraculous action, major'' | Riley is immune to damage that breaks her paradigm - essentially, she can only die or take an injury when and how it fits her character. For better or worse, when Immortality applies, any wound she takes fits itself to her native F/X and heals automatically between scenes (or mid-scene if MP is spent). Even if something is powerful enough to breach Riley's immortality, the resulting wounds will still heal incredibly quickly! Riley can be torn apart, dismembered, or even horrifically mutilated but she ''will'' remain alive despite the pain, and will heal despite everything saying she shouldn't. Unless she gives up. If Riley ever, ever gives up - loses sight of herself, falls to despair, and ceases to just keep fighting then...a weakness will appear in her Immortality, and she will be killable. | '''0 MP''' - damage or enchantment has only temporary effect on Riley. | '''1 MP''' - Riley can totally recover, and shrug everything off 1-2 times mind-scene | '''2 MP''' - starting mid-scene, Riley can shrug off all attacks and other effects like they're paper tigers | '''4 MP''' - Riley is unaffected by the world around her. |- |} <br /> {| class="wikitable" |+ '''Mortal Aspect (1)''' |- | '''[2]''' | '''Bond''' | ''Rage beyond measure!'' | Riley's rage is overpowering. It grants her strength beyond measure, and a will unequaled. Whenever her actions are driven, or warped by rage, she can overcome almost any obstacle. |- |'''[X]''' | '''Affliction''' | ''"There's no escaping destiny..."'' | It isn’t looking like Riley’s heroic destiny will be a comfy ride. And some McArthur’s meet grisly ends vanquishing some nasty or another. Riley’s looks dark, imposing (maybe even important!) but…she can’t turn away. |- | '''Level-up!''' | ''Moved from Arc 0 to Arc 1'' | Shine +1, Connection: Rage 1, moved a point from Rest and Food Fix Everything! to Connection: Rage. |- |} ----
