"A Noble Beast, Young, but Valiant"
Name: Nilkanta
Rank: Weak
Species: Great Wyrm
Type: Combat Pet
Description: Nilkanta, the sole ancestor of a long line of Great Wyrms was born from an egg that had been held in estate of Eileen's Godfather Manannan for an unknown period of time, though in all likeliness the incubation period has been eons... All Eileen knows, is that for as long as she has been alive the egg was enshrined within the bedroom of her Fathers' grand estate. Ever since she was old enough to do so, one of Eileens' earliest chores was to meticulously and routinely clean, take care of and rear the near meter large egg, caring for it, polishing it, feeding basic magic through its shell and ensuring it came to no harm. Never knowing that she was, in fact, completing the childs' imprinting process. She had thought the egg to be little more than a monument, an idol, as it seemed to be made of something resembling volcanic stone. Never could she have assumed that Nilkanta, one day would hatch into the beginnings of something that the world had not seen for a while.
It would have been a day unlike any other when Eileen came across a solitary crack in the shell of the egg, the deafening sound that had echoed through the manor which led to it happening ran a chill through her spine as the egg had fallen from its pedestal. Eileen had even gone so far as to seal the crack in an attempt to hide it from her God-Father, not wanting to be on the receiving end of his wrath. At first, months would pass between the tremors as they became more common, then weeks, then once it finally came down to every few days Manannan became aware of the hatching. Dispelling the sealant of his God-Child he would with a touch of his finger allow the egg to hatch, laying there in the center, upon the final few shards of its Faberge husk was a pale rose coloured Wyrm of Water. Frills like petals covering its body.
Given the title of Nilkanta, although young, she is one of the sole descendants of the great Leviathan: Daedelus, a titanic therion of terrible might, the shadow of the sea, the Jormangandr. Nilkanta however, as one of his descendants, presides over mountain springs and has great power in areas in which she has control over. With strong nimble claws and developing fangs as well as a strong tail covered in pinions and hard-fur, Nilkanta will one day be a force to be reckoned with. Nilkanta carries the curiosity of youth, and considers Eileen to be her mother, although she has the naivete of youth, she knows and understands Eileen is not her mother by birth. However, as a Great Wyrm, though she is little more than two meters long now, through great deeds and the creation of her own legend, Nilkanta is said to evolve over time, becoming larger and larger. In theory able to be registered larger than most Ancient Drakes.
Youthful, vibrant, loyal, honest and extremely adorable. Nilkanta is more than just a companion, she is but a single step to the road of glory for Eileen that, if treasured, would by far become one of the greatest assets at her disposal.
Abilities:
- Bubble Blast:
Name: Bio Bubble Blast
Rank: C
Type: Water / Offensive
Duration: 1
Cooldown: 2
Description: Similar to a Dragons Breath attack, the Bubbles are created through an internal bio-organic process. Nilkanta has glands which produce the tight non-Newtonian film that cases the bubbles in an exceedingly high pressure globes before they're filled with hot air which float or can be projected with her breath. The bubbles on contact detonate with extreme kinetic force capable of causing potentially severe harm. A single full sized bubble is capable of dealing 40 HP worth of damage, though this is capable of being broken up into any number of smaller bubbles. (Ie. She could create 2 bubbles each which deal 20hp damage, 20 which would deal 2 hp damage each.)
At Maximum size the bubbles are 1/2 a meter wide and they always have an explosive force radii of 20x their size. (A full size bubble has a 10m radii blast which decreases in turn with the amount of bubbles made) and can travel to their destination at 30mp/s to a total range of 45m. Bubbles can remain un-popped for up to 3 posts.
Strengths:- Onslaught: The breath weapon can almost create a continuous stream of bubbles or a singular decent blast which could knock a horse off its feet.
- Mine-Field: The lingering effect of the bubbles as they hover due to being hot enough to float but the film being heavy enough to keep to the ground creates a hazard in the surrounding area.
Weaknesses:- Light as Air: While the bubbles can be blown with force, anything that exceeds the force of the bubbles with an Air element to it is likely to blow the bubbles away, or even back at their source.
- Friend or Foe: The Bubbles while creating a hazard zone for enemies, explode on contact without any thought as to friend or foe due to them being loaded with kinetic force rather than any major element.
- Weather Dependent: Not every arena is a place where bubbles last very long. In the desert or other dry arid areas, or should one be created by another mage, the bubbles are unable to linger at all, and pop immediately after reaching their maximum range.
- Onslaught: The breath weapon can almost create a continuous stream of bubbles or a singular decent blast which could knock a horse off its feet.
- Bubble Balm:
Name: Bio Bubble Balm
Rank: D
Type: Water / Defensive/ Supportive.
Duration: Passive
Cooldown: N/A
Description: The Bio-Organic Film which is used for the high pressure bubbles that Nilkanta attacks with, also largely covers her body. She can cover much of her body in the exceedingly slippery bubbly foam that leaves a trail on the ground causing running at high speeds over the slippery surface almost impossible without magical aid of some-kind. However, with her claws and basic use to this ability, Nilkanta is capable of using this to her advantage. The effect allows kinetic damage basic attacks to glance, dealing less damage as if they were an attack of 1 stage weaker. Light attacks merely glancing, medium attacks acting as light attacks while heavy attacks interact as medium attacks. It also allows her to slide around the ground at exceedingly quick rates.
The Trails of the effect leave the ground moist and bubbly, though over time will form bubbles which raise into the sky, leaving the area and herself dry after 3 posts. Though, should this effect be introduced into a large body of water like a pool, the water can become 'soapy' creating a far broader effect.
Strengths:- Tricksy: The Balm allows Nilkanta to become slippery, and leave a slippery trail in her wake, making her a pain to hit with a specific damage type or chase without aid.
- Slip-&-Slide! Fantastic for parties.
Weaknesses:- Straight-Forward: Movement while slippery is largely restricted to straight lines, and although she can use her claws to steer, her movements become rather linear and predictable.
- Obvious: The bubble effect has a very clear visual cue due to the raising foamy bubbles, allowing opponents to easily avoid them
- Lightning Prone: Due to effectively being covered in a conductive balm, upon being hit with a lightning attack, it increases its range to deal damage to a greater surface area, increasing it by 20%
- Tricksy: The Balm allows Nilkanta to become slippery, and leave a slippery trail in her wake, making her a pain to hit with a specific damage type or chase without aid.
