Since I'm lazy, I'll just directly copy-paste the abilities section of my application here! 8D;;
Reyson is what is referred to as a 'laguz' ( creatures with superhuman powers and animalistic features ), and more specifically a 'heron'. He is a member of the bird tribes, and as such he possesses wings and flight, as well as the ability to transform back and forth between a large white heron and a winged demihuman. Herons are also immensely empathetic, and they are greatly affected by the energies of chaos. As creatures of balance, they cannot easily tolerate violent or chaotic environments without feeling unwell, or even sick. Also, under the right conditions ( calm, peaceful environments ), herons are able to read the thoughts of others if they choose, and see into the hearts of those around them.
Of the three bird tribes in Tellius, the herons' possess unique powers, including the ability to use Seid magic. They are able to sing hymns and chants ( Galdrar ) in the ancient tongue of Tellius; these songs grant their listeners various abilities. Rather than fight, herons act as support units, imbuing their comrades with strength and speed. Reyson learns several Galdrar, all of which grant specific effects:
❧ Vigor: The Galdr of Vigor reenergizes allies, granting them greater speed to 'do the work of two men'. In other words, units are allowed an additional move on the battlefield.
❧ Bliss: This Galdr raises the listener's biorhythm ( a status which affects the character's performance on the battlefield ). Those units affected by Bliss will fight with renewed spirit and energy.
❧ Sorrow: The Galdr of Sorrow is the only Galdr that is used on an enemy unit. It performs conversely to Bliss, lowering the biorhythm of an enemy and negatively influencing their performance on the field.
❧ Valor: Valor is a Galdr exclusive to laguz, filling an ally's transformation gauge and allowing them to transform into their beast/bird form immediately.
❧ Recovery: This Galdr is one of the most handy, as it fully heals its target and heals any and all status ailments.
❧ Rebirth: This is a powerful Galdr that can be used to restore the warped or broken souls of any listener. It is used on humans and laguz alike, and is even sung to revitalize a dead forest. Unlike the others, this is a two-man Galdr, and requires two herons singing to grant its full effects
❧ Release/Slumber: These two Galdr go hand in hand, and only seem to have real purpose within the parameters of the game. The Galdr of Release is used to release the sleeping God of Chaos within the Fire Emblem - adversely, the Galdr of Slumber is used to lull the god back to sleep. It is unclear whether or not these Galdr can be used to any other effect, but it's possible that they could become useful under other circumstances.
When Reyson is in his humanoid form, he is only able to sing one Galdr at a time; however when transformed, he refreshes all four surrounding units. Also, herons randomly affect those around them in mysterious ways. They will sometimes spontaneously heal any surrounding units without using a turn or a Galdr, and being around herons often stirs emotions in others.
- So! In other words, I'll need permission from you guys to take a peek into your characters' feelings. Unlike his sister Leanne, Reyson is older, more jaded and less innocent, so he's much less likely to go peering into your characters' thoughts or hearts without permission; he'll most likely respect their privacy most times, unless the situation calls for it. If he feels he's being lied to, or some harm may come to him or someone he cares about, then he'll feel much more inclined to turn on his heron godmodding skills to find the truth in your characters' hearts! And if a person is emotional enough around him, he'll likely pick up on their feelings without meaning to, depending on how happy/terrified/upset the person is.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. ♥
