Revival
Most people when they die they go to some afterlife. Or get trapped in soul gems. Or something to those natures. Oras can’t. When his body ceases to function it triggers a chain reaction. The first event is a detonation. His soul creates a massive explosion that reaches out to a one hundred meter radius. Anything caught in the blast is immediately and utterly destroyed. Transformed into an unknown type of energy and consumed by Oras’ soul. It is possible to survive the blast, but at the cost of all one’s mana, using it as a sort of sacrifice and substitute of one’s life. Immediately after the detonation, the blast gets sucked back into the center, becoming a very unique singularity. Oras’ soul hovers in the center, a black mess of energy constantly shifting and moving. It absorbs anything within a fifty meter radius, sucking anything within that reach in and consuming it. The more it consumes the faster the reconstruction process goes.
Over time the soul shifts from black, to purple, to blue, to the typical light blue everyone sees spirits as. Eventually the soul will take the energy it’s gathered and reconstruct Oras’ body around itself. Exactly as he and his equipment was just before he was killed. While his physical body and mana may have been completely restored however, the process of restoring his body causes insane and torturous pain to Oras, thus he’s left weak and vulnerable.Summoning
Oras is not a god or deity. However his soul is related to one, and thus it is possible to summon him. Whether by accident or on purpose. Oras could be summoned by accident if one is attempting to summon a chaotic deity, god or other powerful being, and they do the process wrong. This usually occurs when the summoning is being done via ritual circle or runes, chanting and such. It is extremely rare for someone with summoning magic to accidentally summon Oras as most summoners link themselves with their summons. The second method of summoning Oras is, of course, through contracts. Oras learned of this through a wizard named Ruvel, and also he learned of the Yokai version of contracts from Izayuki. Needless to say Oras wasn’t particularly interested in either version and thus made his own combination of their methods.
Similar to the Yokai contracts, Oras had selected a type of object in which he could make contracts out of. Unlike Yokai contracts that are essentially leaves however, Oras’ contract comes in the shape of a silver coin. There is a symbol that resides on both sides of the coin. The same one on his mask and outfit: a symbol that means chaos. Unlike the Yokai contracts however, they cannot be given to anyone else. If Oras gave someone a contract, only they could hold it. It would phase through anyone else’s hands as if it didn’t exist. This is where his contracts become similar to most summoner contracts: It is directly bound between Oras and the person he had made it with. If Oras wishes he can break any contract he wishes, but people can still accidentally summon him.. Which usually pisses him off.Fractured Sight
The five senses of the world (or six if your a wizard), are so simplistic yet allow beings to view the world around them. Oras however, does not necessarily have to rely on these senses. He does, in fact, have a seventh. It essentially allows him to look at the world through his soul, which is already vastly different than any other soul in existence. Instead of seeing the world through a physical sense, he can look at the different essences, auras, signals, etc. Shapes, colors, shades, and movements tell him many different things. When he’s looking at an entity (mortal or immortal beings, spirits or physical bodies, etc.) he can see them in three parts: The body. The spirit. And their Aura. Their body color will depend on just what it is they are. Their race and gender essentially. The color of their soul depends on their personality and morality. The more corrupt or immoral they are, the darker they appear. The more just and moral they are the brighter they appear. Finally their aura, which can tell Oras what type of power or abilities they have. Magic is by default blue. Holy is gold like, with demonic being red. There are many many different types of powers as well, so Oras must learn them over time. He can tell how powerful or controlled/uncontrolled their magic is by the aura’s size and how stable it appears.
In addition to all of this however he also has the ability to see other aspects, such as signals (technology/magic devices connecting such as phones, computers, linked artifacts, telepathic connections), waves such as sound waves, radio waves. He can see remnants of anything marked by magic. Typically if it’s not a powerful spell he can see through invisibility. Anything done via technology is colored red. Anything done via magic is colored blue. Anything done by nature itself is colored green. The downside to this is that he can’t keep it active for long. At max he can only let it last five minutes. With each minute he uses it, he requires two minutes to recover (so five minute use would mean a ten minute wait).Integrated Reality
Everyone likes to think the world has some sort of fixed structure. The world is round. The sun keeps shining. And we all live happily knowing none of this will change in our lifetime… Oras knows better. By understanding how fragile the world, the universe, the multiverse and all dimensions truly are, he’s able to shatter the border between them. He’s able to cross over between dimensions yes, but it’s not an easy feat, far from it. It’s very taxing on him. Not from breaking a hole in dimension to travel between them no. It’s from keeping the hole from collapsing in on itself and creating a permanent tear in reality. It is easier for him to keep holes from collapsing in on themselves when traveling between the physical and spiritual realm, but it’s still a bit draining. When traveling between realms he cannot take anyone who doesn’t have a changeable soul like he does. Otherwise their body and quite possibly their soul would shred into pure energy and be lost forever between dimensions. Have you tried to keep your physical body when stepping into the spiritual realm? No? Thought not. Don’t try it, it’s painful either way.
While Oras does have a soul that can fit his needs by reshaping his body into… Well anything, be it physical, spiritual, life force, pure energy, pure mana, pure.. Whatever you call the energy his soul generates. It is still very painful to do. This is why Oras doesn’t exactly enjoy crossing dimensions using this method, and will only do so if it’s of the utmost emergencies.Psychometry
Oras has inherited much from his, ‘mother’. The being of Chaos may not have realized that she was creating something new, unique, something that was hers, but when she did she had poured her heart into it. Granted most of that heart was the searing rage and bloodlust towards her fellow deities and gods, but a part of who she was before all that was mixed in with it. The desire to see people smile. To see people happy. To see joy and prosperity. For she was, in the beginning, a goddess of emotions, compassion and generosity. While Oras doesn’t often feel these effects, he has gained some of Atia’s old powers because of this part of her. Oras has the ability to see and feel the emotions of others. By reaching out with his mind he can feel what others around him feel. He can target one individual with this effect, or an entire crowd. Even when he’s not purposefully feeling for emotions however, if someone nearby is having very strong and potent emotions in that moment, they brush against him and he feels it.
The only way Oras can see emotions is if he uses Fractured Sight. When he does, in addition to a person’s aura they have a certain ‘glow’. The color of this glow depends on their current emotions, and many times there are several rows of colors. The downside to this is that Oras cannot turn it off, and massive amounts of heightened emotions can disorientate him if he can’t control it.Anomaly
Most souls are similar, despite being different races. They may have a different feeling or color to them, depending on their race, whether they’re a demon, mortal or god. In the end however, it doesn’t really mean anything. They are similar enough. Oras however, is an entirely different case. His soul is in a constant state of flux. Unstabilized and uncontrolled. Because of these constant shifts and changes, Oras’ soul changes from one type of being to another. One could say it was a true shapeshifter, if it weren’t for the fact that it doesn’t even register as that. It’s just.. Everything and nothing at the same time. Because of this flux like state and changing, he can be felt and sensed by anyone able to sense or see aura’s and souls as anything at all. Sometimes he appears to be a human, yokai, elf, Dwarf, Dragon, Animal, Demon, God, Half breed, angel, etc. He can also be felt as different power levels. Ranging from rank D to rank Z and even beyond.
Oras cannot control how he’s sensed, and regardless of what it feels like his strength is or race is, his power does not change. He can reshape his body to any appearance he pleases, though it takes a while to do so. He isn’t, after all, an actual shapeshifter. The downside to this is that if anyone has sensed him once, it’s usually impossible to keep his real identity hidden from them.Atia’s Malediction
Upon speaking with Atia, learning more about her and what her intentions are, she gives him a unique ability. Something that, while takes a massive amount of his spiritual energy and mana, could prove to be quite useful to him. Oras can channel his chaotic energy to separate from him and latch onto another. The result of this occurring is:.. Bad luck. Literally. Depending on how much of Oras’ soul energy he disperses, the bad luck can be minor nuisances, or lethal events. The effect, or curse, is called “Atia’s Malediction”. While under this effect, it seems as if the world itself is out to get the victim. Minor nuisances would include things like getting hit by water from nowhere, tripping over yourself despite being perfectly balanced, knocking into something you didn’t see, or something knocking into you, stubbing your toe on accident, stepping on an ant pile, etc. They aren’t lethal but can be annoying really quickly. Moderate bad luck would be things that could harm you but aren’t lethal. Such as catching sickness, getting a cut somehow, stepping on a nail, door slamming your fingers, falling into a hole or ditch, getting mugged, etc. Then there is the lethal bad luck. Any form of bad luck that would kill you, be it deadly plagues, structures collapsing around you, losing balance focus or strength in the middle of a fight, encountering a very powerful dark mage. Anything that could prove lethal.
At the same time however, the curse can’t last forever. Depending on how much mana and soul energy is spent, it can last between a week, to a year. If the victim’s life is in disarray, chaos or confusion (mental wise) then the length of time can be extended by an additional day. If the curse is non lethal and just a nuisance then Oras doesn’t show any weariness. If it’s deadly, lethal and lasts a long time, Oras could very well fall unconscious for an hour or two after applying it.
Additional Note: Requires OOC Permission to apply.Distortion of Nature (Gravity)
There are five natural forces in the known universe. Within reality at least. Gravity. Nuclear Power. Electromagnetism. Space. And Time. By utilizing his soul’s ability to create chaos and distort anything, Oras can control each of these to some degree, at the cost of fatigue, recharge or some other downside. Gravity is the easiest of the five for Oras to control. Despite what everyone leads themselves to believe, Gravity is in fact the weakest of the five forces. This however, is an advantage for Oras. Gravity can slip through time, making it easy for him to utilize that aspect. Despite gravity being the easiest to manipulate however, it does require concentration. The slightest mistake could cause too much pressure, applying changes to the wrong area, or (at worst case scenario) creating a black hole he didn’t mean to make. Thus when he has distractions, manipulating gravity can become rather dangerous.. This is why he usually doesn’t do many incredible feats with gravity in the middle of combat, other than maybe making himself or someone else fly, or something else like that.
While Oras can control gravity in general, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to alter gravity that is under magical influence. Whether it’s an enchantment, magical artifact, or someone else’s magic being used. He would need to dispel the magic before he could do so.Distortion of Nature (Electromagnetism)
Of the five natural forces of the universe, Electromagnetism is probably the second easiest to control. It doesn’t take too much effort to create a magnetic field if you know what you’re doing, and creating electricity is easy as well. And when you have a soul that distorts the very laws of physics itself, controlling electromagnetism and bending it to your will doesn’t seem too difficult. Like Gravity, it doesn’t apply much fatigue on Oras at all, but it does require a bit of concentration. By distorting the natural flow of electromagnetism, and by creating his own waves of it, it does give him the ability to perform a type of telekinesis, as well as transmute objects. By generating, altering and moving the electromagnetism of objects and their surroundings, he can move anything and anyone he likes without touching them. Doing this requires the least amount of concentration but he still needs to focus. Or else they vanish and whatever he’s moving stops or drops. He can also use it to move the molecules in the air and in an object around, transforming any object or structure into any shape he likes, or into something else entirely. Such as turning coal into gold, etc. This however takes more concentration as it’s change on a molecular level, and thus the tiniest mistake could prove to be a problem.
While Oras can control the electromagnetism of objects and people, including the surrounding area. He cannot create it on enchanted objects or places. If something is under magical influence then he cannot control them. The same goes for any being who can use magic.Distortion of Nature (Nuclear)
While Gravity and Electromagnetism may be rather easy for Oras to control, if not requiring concentration at least, Nuclear control is more straining on Oras than it requires concentration. Nuclear power, namely the power of the atoms, is something that is extremely delicate, yet simple to understand. There isn’t much one can do with nuclear power other than charge something up, create radiation or cause an nuclear blast. However Oras can in fact find uses sometime in the future. Charging anything up would be easy for him to do, and isn’t a danger to him either. Radiation isn’t a threat to Oras, not only because of his ability to control it, but also because his body and soul are already in a flux like state, and thus Radiation passes right through him unhindered. He can also force Radiation to thin out and vanish quickly, without dealing too much damage to the environment or people. And while he can create nuclear explosions he’s, well… Just, not going to do that under just about every circumstance. The devastation would far outweigh the usefulness.
As usual of course, while he can control nuclear forces, he cannot control nuclear power that’s under magical influence or being controlled by another.Distortion of Nature (Space)
The last two natural forces of the universe are the most straining to control, but manageable if Oras isn’t under a lot of stress, weary or pain. Space requires concentration while also applies stress to him. He can consume mana to ease the stress on him but this makes it very hard to use in combat. By controlling and manipulating space, Oras can create portals, wormholes. He can bend space and twist it however way he wants. By doing so he can make landscapes curve. He could take a city block and fold it on itself. Over time Oras can learn how to use this power and not be strained, but there is always a breaking point. The larger, longer and more frequent he distorts space, the more stress he puts on his body and mind. However space is also intertwined with dimensions. Because of this, he can bend the world around him regardless of what dimension he is in. If he entered a world where space didn’t exist however, then this ability would be pointless. He cannot control, alter or break space that is controlled by someone’s magic.Distortion of Nature (Time)
The most difficult force of nature to control, ever. Time puts a great strain on Oras as well as requires much concentration. Opening up windows in time is the easiest for him to do, which still puts a strain on him. These ‘windows’ allow him to see into the past, or into the future. The further he looks, the more it strains him. If he tries looking further than six months he’ll pass out. If he tries looking further than a year he dies and his revive ability activates. He can also bring time to a halt, but can only freeze time for a limited amount of time. Namely one minute if he isn’t already tired or weakened. Usually however it’s thirty seconds. He can also create a small bubble for others to be unaffected by this ability. Finally he can leap into the future or past, but only a few seconds or minutes at a time. Doing so greatly weakens him and gives him a minor headache. Over time his powers over nature may grow, but unlike Atia he isn’t a pure chaos being. His soul is partial human and partial chaos, thus the difficulty using it’s more potent powers. As always, he cannot effect areas that are under magial influence.
