Bond Pet: Viguul
Description: "Viguul is as enigmatic as they come and perhaps just as violent, too. The stories surrounding his creation or development range from the plausible to the wildly outlandish. There is the story about how he was once a leprechaun who sought nothing but happiness and the preservation of his gold. But a wicked man named Jacob and his cruel wife and children found the creature and abused it, taunting it and stealing its gold. Legends also speak of a demon that had grown tired of its existence in Hell and had crawled through the earth to escape to its freedom, only to find the world hateful and violent to its existence. Whatever the true origin is, all that is known is that Viguul has been corrupted by forces beyond comprehension, granted a vile and toxic power so that they could engulf in the world in venomous agony."
Whatever Viguul was before, it has since become impossible for him to return to that form. However, being shown a simple act of kindness has gone quite a long way with the creature. Thanks to an attempt by Anya to heal Viguul with her Dragon Slayer powers, this enigmatic beast has become bound to her down to the deepest level: that of their very souls. However, this means that Viguul's cursed corruption is no longer his own to bear. As the result of bonding to a creature that so deeply embodies corruption, Anya has been made to share in his vile power. This is represented by a large mark placed on the back of her left hand that appears when using this magic. Known as the Mark of Corruption, this marking is the physical manifestation of the toxic corruption that has so deeply mutated Viguul. However, this marking also seems to have granted Anya more power, as her body has seemingly begun to thrive underneath the weight of the same forces that made Viguul what he is. What this might mean for Viguul's partner is currently unknown, but there are already glimpses showing themselves here and there.

- Mark of Corruption:
Unique Abilities:
- The Strength of Infection: While it was initially incredibly painful to bond to Viguul thanks to it's..unique power and existence as a Corrupted Monstrosity, the manifestation of Anya's Corruption Curse seems to have worked to bolster her magical ability, giving her a 100% Buff to her MP.
- Pandemic: The poison and toxins that Viguul is master of are incredibly quick to affect others. Taking on this power for oneself has shared some of that speed with Anya and Viguul itself, granting both parties a 100% Buff to their Movement Speed.
- Lineage:
Name: Seductor's Touch
Description: You come from the blood of those who are masters of speechcraft. Hidden from the public, usually, unless they require something, these particular mages can seduce anyone to do almost anything.
Ability: The user is able to bend the will of anyone but mages and the undead. Can't command anyone/thing with a higher effective rank than the user(S Max). Anyone targeted by this has to do anything commanded by the user. The user gains a single user-ranked spell related to mind control(Max S-rank) in addition to their spells and is in general more seductive and alluring.
Usage: 2 post duration with a 6 post cooldown. Gains a mind control-like spell in addition to their own spells of S-rank or lower.
- Plot Ability:
- Death Follows Close: A true oddity created by the cursed bond shared between Anya and Viguul, the massive beast has somehow gained the ability to take residence in Anya's shadow when not presently needed, allowing it to follow her wherever she may go. This has created the eerie effect of a very visible shadow--one that looks to be hers--existing in places that it shouldn't normally be capable of doing so, such as in complete darkness. When needed Viguul may be ordered--or even choose--to erupt from her shadow at any moment.
Spells
- Advanced Spells:
Name: Fever Pitch
Rank: C+
MP Cost: 45 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Debuff, Drain
Damage: 90 HP
Range: 180 Meters
Speed: 180 Meters Per Second
Duration: 6 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Raising one of their arms, Viguul or Anya gather the pestilent magic that flows through them into one of their hands, cloaking it in a noxious aura of crimson and black magic before striking at an opponent. Those who are struck will be affected almost immediately as the corruption eats away at the pathways through which magic flows, temporarily reducing the potency of the target's spells with an 85% Debuff to Spell Damage for the duration. Thanks to attacking the pathways through which magic flows, the target also suffers a slow and steady loss of magic as it flows out through the 'holes' in their system, creating a 5% MP Drain per Post for the duration. Physically speaking, this creates a massive spike in body heat. This is particularly visible around the face of the target, which is likely to flush red with color.
Name: Scream of Corruption
Rank: B+
MP Cost: 60 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: AoE - Immobilization, Debuff
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 150 Meters
Speed: 75 Meters Per Second
Duration: 8 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Bracing themselves, Anya or Viguul fill their throats with Magical Energy before releasing an impossibly loud roar. Particularly in Anya's case, this Roar almost seems to be actively shredding their vocal cords. However, the payoff for this impossible noise is obvious, as the inhalation that comes with gathering their magical energy also generates a slow pull of red and black mist gathering in front of the caster's head before it is released outwards in all directions as a violent blast of red and black wall of force. Any plant life within the area rapidly begins to wither and die. Individuals who are caught within the radius of this spell will suddenly find their bodies refusing to listen to them, leaving them frozen in a sort of 'fear response' state for a single post. All the while, the corrupting energy that the scream carried works its way into their bodies, reducing the movement speed of all afflicted individuals by 90%. While this Scream can be made multiple times for the duration, it can only freeze opponents every other post. The Debuff however, will not be reapplied between screams, and will end with the duration of this spell.
Name: Mephitic Shot
Rank: B+
MP Cost: 60 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target
Damage: 120 HP
Range: 300 Meters
Speed: 300 Meters per Second
Duration: 1 Post
Downside: N/A
Description: One of the more conceptually disgusting spells shared amongst Anya and Viguul. Focusing their unique magical energies into the center of their beings, both Viguul and Anya force it upwards, causing sublimation of the energy into a physical form as it also heavily pressurizes. When casting this spell, Anya's Mark of Corruption appears on her throat. Opening their mouths, either Anya or Viguul launch a cone of incredibly viscous, sanguine venom out at an opponent, causing wounds not dissimilar to acid burns.
- Signature Spells:
Name: Curse Progression: Arm of Agony
Rank: B
MP Cost: 0
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst - Mobility
Damage: 80 HP
Range: 50 Meters
Speed: 100 Meters Per Second
Duration: 1 Post
Downside: N/A
Description: Anya's Mark of Corruption violently expands at a rapid pace, causing an agonizingly painful warping of her left arm until it bears a striking resemblance to Viguul's own left arm, while still matching Anya's more slim build. Upon transformation this arm begins oozing a strikingly red venom from the tips of its clawed fingers. Once this transformation of her arm is complete Anya--in a display of truly monstrous strength--kicks off towards her opponent at Burst Speeds before swinging this transformed arm in a vicious claw swipe. Hit or miss, the Mark of Corruption rapidly returns to its original form before dissipating, returning Anya's arm to normal in the process.
Name: Curse Progression: A Pox Upon The World
Rank: B
MP Cost: 0
Category: Offensive
Type: AoE - DoT
Damage: 20 HP
Range: 100 Meters
Speed: 50 Meters per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: When this spell activates, Anya instinctively covers her mouth with both hands as the Mark Of Corruption appears in a new location: The hollow of her throat. It then begins to rapidly expand until the marking has curled itself around her entire throat. Throughout this process Anya begins to violently hack and cough, spewing a frankly concerning amount of a toxic green miasma that moves to quickly cover a wide area. This cloud is incredibly dangerous, as it is purely corrosive in nature. All things within it that are not inherently Corrupt--such as Viguul--or are the source of this spell will find themselves taking 20 points of damage each post for the duration of this spell as the miasma melts away at their flesh, muscle, and even their very soul should they linger for too long. When the duration ends, the mark of corruption fades from Anya's throat, and she may finally stop coughing.
- D Rank Spells (Curse Spells):
Name: Mark of Corruption: Pestilent Burst
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Burst - Immobilize
Damage: 40 HP
Range: 15 Meters
Speed: 30 Meters Per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Anya throws her hand outwards at a target, the Mark of Corruption appearing on her hand as a cloud of noxious pestilence detonates at the target's location. This particular cloud attacks the brain and central nervous system directly, leaving the signals in the afflicted target's body temporarily scrambled. This leaves them temporarily immobilized.
Name: Mark of Corruption: Melty Shot
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Drain
Damage: 40 HP
Range: 60 Meters
Speed: 60 Meters per Second
Duration: 3 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Gathering magical energy into her hand as the Mark of Corruption appears, Anya makes a finger gun and points it at a target. She 'fires' this gun by lowering her thumb, firing off a thick, viscous substance not unlike the disgusting substance created by Viguul's Pestilent Spew, but a deep dark red in color. This substance is quite odd, designed to burn not only the physical, but the magical as well. This causes a 'burn' effect, burning away the target's mana by 5% per post for the duration.
Name: Mark of Corruption: Wave of Sickness
Rank: D
MP Cost: 20 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Multi Target
Damage: 40 HP
Range: 45 Meters
Speed: 30 Meters Per Second
Duration: 1 Post
Downside: N/A
Description: Gathering magical energy into both of her hands, Anya's Mark of Corruption begins to expand, temporarily wrapping around her wrist as well as the back of her hand as each one becomes surrounded with a black and red cloud of venom. Raising her hands, Anya thrusts them forward up to three times. Each thrust creates a violently swirling beam of condensed liquid venom that violently reacts with skin and other organic substances, leaving behind chemical burns.
- C Rank Spells (Bond Spells):
Name: Wall of Blight
Rank: C
MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Defensive
Type: Single Target - Negation
Durability: 180 HP
Range: 120 Meters
Speed: 120 Meters Per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Reaching deep down into themselves, Anya or Viguul make a disgusting, wet hacking noise before spewing out a thick, viscous substance that spreads out into the shape of a semicircular dome in front of them. This dome is incredibly acidic, allowing it to also be used to negate a single spell, ability, or technique within burst range, provided that it is equal to this ability's rank. This can be done once per post while this barrier is still active, and is achieved by using the incredibly caustic nature of this spell to literally melt it down into nothingness--provided the casting price of the original spell or ability is paid. This can only be done on spells, abilities, or techniques equal to this ability and lower in rank.
Name: Polluted Geyser
Rank: C
MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Homing
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 120 Meters
Speed: 120 Meters per Second
Duration: 1 Post
Downside: N/A
Description: Coating one of their extremities in the Venomous aura that Viguul itself is known for, either Anya or Viguul slam said extremity down onto the ground with strength monstrous enough to crack it, flooding the ground with an excessive amount of this sickly magic until it eventually erupts from the ground beneath the target, slamming them with an incredible amount of venom. Thanks to the amount of control both Anya and Viguul possess over this toxic aura, this spell is capable of 'chasing' the target. However, this has a tell in that all plant life within a meter of the flow of venom begins to rapidly wither and die.
Name: Malefic Slice
Rank: C
MP Cost: 30 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Debuff
Damage: 60 HP
Range: 120 Meters
Speed: 120 Meters per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Gathering magic energy into a hand, Viguul or Anya then use it to reinforce their fingers. This extends the existing claws in Viguul's case, and in Anya's case the excess energy is used to grant her incredibly sharp claws. These claws are then used to physically attack an opponent with a brutal slash. Should this land, the entirety of these 'claws' is sucked into the opponent's body, scrambling their magical systems temporarily. This 'malfunction' of the opponent's magical systems directly impacts the integrity of their spells, reducing their spell range by 55% for the duration.
- B Rank Spells (Bond Spells):
Name: Blighted Buster
Rank: B
MP Cost: 40 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: Single Target - Piercing
Damage: 40 HP
Range: 200 Meters
Speed: 200 Meters per Second
Duration: 1 Post
Downside: N/A
Description: Gathering Magical energy in both hands as they bring them close together to each other, Anya or Viguul create a hyper condensed sphere of toxic, blighted energy between their hands before removing one hand and thrusting the other outwards, creating a spiralling lance of pure corrosive magic that is capable of drilling through all but the absolute sturdiest defenses.
Name: Acid Rain
Rank: B
MP Cost: 40 MP
Category: Offensive
Type: AoE - DoT
Damage: 20 HP
Range: 100 Meters
Speed: 50 Meters per Second
Duration: 5 Posts
Downside: N/A
Description: Flaring a baleful aura across their entire bodies, Viguul or Anya then lower one of their hands down, forcing that aura to coalesce and condense in the palm of their hand. At this point they snap their arm upwards with as much of their strength as possible, sending the condensed sphere of baleful magic careening into the sky before it expands massively, bursting open to rain nearly pure acid across their entire area of effect. As a result, the initial downpour isn't very damaging. However, what it lacks in immediate damage it more than makes up for in stopping power over time. Those caught within this corrosive Rain Storm--aside from Viguul and Anya--will find themselves taking 20 points of damage per post for the duration of this spell as each raindrop splatters against their body, dissolving away at their very being as they are struck.
Name: Gift of The Blighted Bond
Rank: B
MP Cost: N/A
Category: Auxiliary
Type: Passive - Buff
Damage: N/A
Range: Self
Speed: Self
Duration: N/A
Downside: N/A
Description: Being connected to another being is a sure way to boost the potency of your own life force. This seems to have gone doubly so for being bound to a creature of such deep levels of corruption as Viguul. Thanks to this Blighted Bond, Both Anya and Viguul enjoy a 50% Buff to their respective HP totals.
