BAI SUZHEN'S EQUIPMENT
Items
- Mythical:
Name: Shìshé Shèngróngqì
Grade: Mythical
Type: Item
Proof of Acquisition: Here
Description:
A strange tattoo which gets its name from the Dongxian script situated below a pictogram of a snake eating its own tail, it can be translated into Fiorean to mean "the Sacred Vessel of the World Snake". This mark denotes its bearer's supposed indenture to the cosmic being called the World Serpent. It consists of the mentioned pictogram above, beneath which are five Dongxian characters. Crimson in color, it is situated on Suzhen's upper back, just below her neck. Her guild symbol, of the same color, is positioned in the same place as the mark, to create a single image.
The true purpose of this mark is to keep its bearer connected to the World Serpent. In turn, their senses are connected to the World Serpent, giving them interesting boons, and a sliver of its power. They must always live with the understanding that they can never be free from the World Snake, though.- Abilities:
Name: Ophidian Attunement: Feeling
Rank: D
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Suzhen's sense of feeling is amplified by her connection to the World Serpent and its limitless energies. This connection also passively increases her MP pool by 40%.
Plot Device: She can also feel the 'atmospheres' of places she's in. For instance, if she arrives at a place where battles had been fought a long time ago, she might feel a faint trace of rage and terror, maybe even catch a very faint whiff of the scent of blood. The more recent an event, the more strongly she will feel it. However, this sense is very unreliable, and doesn't always work, for reasons Suzhen is yet to determine.
Name: Ophidian Attunement: Hearing
Rank: C
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: With her auditory senses blessed by the World Snake's power, Suzhen's MP pool is passively increased by 45%.
Plot Device: As the auditory organs also have a bearing on balance and coordination, she also possesses an incredible sense of balance, and can execute physics-defying feats like standing with one foot on tiptoe on a stretched rope while reading a book, or performing a somersault and landing in a handstand on a board balanced precariously on a cone, without upsetting the balance of the board.
Name: Ophidian Attunement: Smell
Rank: B
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Due to the connection of her olfactory senses to the powers of the World Serpent, Suzhen's MP pool is passively increased by 50%.
Plot Device: Interestingly, Suzhen's sense of smell falls within the normal human range. However, she can breathe cosmic energies which exist all around, and can thus survive indefinitely in outer space or under water, though she finds a lot of discomfort in breathing in these conditions. Air-borne media like poisons, will affect her as expected, should she breathe them in.
Name: Ophidian Attunement: Sight
Rank: A
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Suzhen's optical sensory connection to the World Snake increases her MP pool passively by 55%.
Plot Device: She can also see, to a low extent, cosmic energies, which pervade everything, and as such, can see even in pitch darkness, although her vision in poorer light is much weaker than in normal light, as should be expected. With a bit of concentration, she can also see invisible things like ghosts. This is only a plot device and will not allow her in any way to see through a cloaking spell or similar thing.
Name: Ophidian Attunement: Taste
Rank: S
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Suzhen's MP pool is passively increased by 60%, thanks to the olfactory connection she has to the power of the World Snake.
Plot Device: Also, fitting a serpentine theme, Suzhen's tongue is highly sensitive, and she can taste and discern the nature of substances, being able to identify additives and poisons with her tongue alone. She can even taste things to a psionic level, being able to 'taste' if people are telling the truth or lying by licking them, and contact between her tongue and another's can allow her to 'glean' whatever languages they speak, giving her temporary knowledge of the language. However, she considers this use of her tongue to be a bit too salacious for her. This plot device is only capable of gaining information from PCs, PC-owned characters/items and event NPCs/items, with express permission approved.
Name: Ophidian Attunement: White Snake Divination
Rank: H
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive
Description: Suzhen's connection to the World Serpent allows the ambience of the Astral Sea (where the physical body of the World Serpent is reputed to be) to bleed into Earthland around Suzhen. As the concept of time is rather capricious in the Astral Sea, Suzhen tends to have an extremely mild form of precognition, which allows her to react to situations faster than is expected, resulting in a passive buff to her speed by 65%.
Plot Device: She can also, with a lot of concentration, see into the past, although this ability is very capricious, and she requires utmost concentration to use it. In this way, she can glean information from objects or even people. This plot device is only capable of gaining information from PCs, PC-owned characters/items and event NPCs/items, with express permission approved.
Armors
- strong+:
Name: Chóu Shan [Silk Lightning]
Grade: Strong+
Type: Armor
Proof of Acquisition: Here
Description: Apparently, Chou Shan seems to be nothing but a white parasol, with a rather thick stem. Both the shade of the parasol and its stem are white. The shade is made of a silky yet waterproof material, the work of alchemy, and the whole parasol is a lot sturdier than it looks. Its stem is hollow, to allow for a blade to be sheathed therein. The shade of the parasol is strong enough to serve as a makeshift shield, and it curiously allows for its wielder to attack through it. This works best with a sword, using the parasol as a shield while stabbing through the parasol's shade. The fabric of the shade knits itself together after such an attack. Attacks made from enemies will not be repaired so easily.
Chou Shan is usually used as a sheath for one of Suzhen's swords, Xu Xian.- Abilities:

Damage: 180 HP [+50%]
Range: 200 meters [-50%]
Speed: 200 m/s [-50%]
Duration: 10 posts
Downside: Speed and ranged halved to increase damage
Description: Suzhen thrusts forward, and a silver blade of light shoots out of the blade, to damage a single opponent. An enemy struck by this attack receives a 50% debuff to physical resistance. If Heaven's Judgment encounters a shield, it will pierce through, but its attack power will be halved.
Name: One Thousand Stars
Rank: A+
Category: Offensive, Immobilization, Debuff
Type: Burst
Damage: 150 HP
Range: 110 meters
Speed: 110 m/s
Duration: 9 posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Suzhen raises her sword, and from the blade of the sword, a pure white explosion is released. It will do no damage to allies, but damages foes and the environment. When struck, foes are paralyzed for one post, and must be hit with the spell again every other post to be paralyzed. They receive a 100% debuff to speed for the duration of the spell.
Name: Xiaoqing
Grade: Artifact+
Type: Weapon
Proof of Acquisition: Here
Description: Named after Suzhen's little sister, this weapon takes the shape of a dart attached to a chain. There is a ring at the end of the dart through which a finger can be inserted to improve grip on the dart, and there are small spikes on the outer side of the ring to increase punching damage.- Spoiler:
- Abilities:
Name: Green Snake Fang
Rank: S
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target, Immobilization, Armor piercing
Damage: 120 HP
Range: 400 meters
Speed: 400 m/s
Duration: 10 posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Suzhen attacks with the rope dart, while its blade gains a green glow, as she aims at a single opponent, causing damage. Any enemy struck by the blade is poisoned; the effect of the poison causes their muscles to jam, resulting in immobility. The poison's effects wear off after one post, and thus targets can only be immobilized for one post, and once every other post, though this means that the Green Snake Fang must be used over and over, once for every immobilization event, which only lasts one post. The attack power of the dart under the effects of this spell is very high, and it pierces through defenses, though its damage is halved if it does.
Name: Coils of the Flying Snake
Rank: A+
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst, Debuff
Damage: 150 HP
Range: 110 meters
Speed: 110 m/s
Duration: 9 posts
Downside: N/A
Description: The chain of Xiaoqing extends to the spell's maximum range, and Suzhen begins flailing it around her gracefully. At this point, her magic sharpens the chain, making it cut anyone it comes in contact and damage them. They also receive a 50% debuff to magic damage resistance. As Suzhen is in control of the chain, using her magic, it avoids striking allies.
Plot Device: Suzhen can use this ability as a grapple of sorts, to ensnare and pull a target. By using her magic to blunt the weapon, she can harmlessly catch a target and retrieve it. Also, since her magic manipulates the chain's length, she can catch a distant object and 'reel' it, or herself, in by shortening the chain. Note that OOC permission is required to pull in Players, player-owned NPCs and equipment, or Event NPCs.
Name: Fahai
Grade: Artifact+
Type: Weapon
Proof of Acquisition: Here
Description: Named after a monk who'd initially opposed her, but later became a friend, this weapon is a silver-bladed monk spade, with red tassels on its shaft.- Spoiler:

Range: 50 meters [-50%]
Speed: 50 m/s [-50%]
Duration: 10 posts
Downside: Range and speed are halved to increase damage
Description: Suzhen twirls the spade, creating a dome of colorless but pulsating air, easily visible by the distortion it creates. Any foe that comes in contact with it is damaged (damage is taken only once per post) and may be blown away by the power of the distortion field (OOC permission is required to knock back player characters, player-owned NPCs, and Event NPCs). They will also suffer a 70% debuff to speed. Suzhen can also negate any spell or negative effect that comes within range of the Turtle Shell by paying the MP base cost of the spell to be negated. Only one spell or effect may be negated per post, and the spell/effect being negated must be S-rank or lower.

Range: 55 meters [-50%]
Speed: 55 m/s [-50%]
Duration: 9 posts
Downside: Range and Speed halved to increase damage
Description: From the crescent end of Fahai, Suzhen releases a transparent but visible distortion, shaped like a sickle-shaped blast that widens as it goes out, though it is contained by its small spell range. It ignores defenses, but will lose half its offensive power if it passes through a shield or armor. Enemies hit by the wave are damaged, and receive a 100% debuff to speed.
