OOC - Power Limitations

Apr 27, 2008 13:24


Canon powers:
As a Noah, Tyki is capable of destroying Innocence. He also seems to know how to use telepathy (at least with Akuma and I assume other Noah). A Noah has a part of the memory of the original Noah (the one with the Ark) written in his genes, and for Tyki it's the Pleasure memory. If he chooses to switch to this form (his "black side", his "white" side is an orphaned bum) his skin becomes grey-ish, his eyes golden and cross-shaped 'stigmata' otherwise known as Holy Marks appear on his forehead. If any other Noah is killed, the Noah inside of him will cry.

As the Noah of Pleasure he has the ability to manipulate the world's creations. This allows him to selectively interact with his surroundings, including but not limited to phasing through otherwise solid objects (and people), walking on air/water, or even rejecting the space around a person to create a vacuum. He often uses his power to remove/crush a person's organ without leaving any external wounds. He uses his powers together with the Tease; man-eating butterfly-shaped golems given to him by the Earl. They will grow and multiply when they eat human flesh, which means Tyki sometimes uses people as a nursery. More often than not the Tease are also used as shields or (throwing) blades. He seems to keep them inside his own body when not used, and he can summon them at will.

His powers are of Dark Matter, which is a complete opposite of Innocence. Notably, he can't pass through Innocence since it's not part of "the world's creations". He tends to avoid using his powers while in his white side, though.

However, after his Noah was supposed to be ‘excorcised’ by Allen, it unlocked a more powerful form of Tyki. In this state, his speed and power had increased tremendously. The Earl appeared to be interested in the Noah of Pleasure’s true potential.


Limitations @ Landels
Well, Tyki isn’t going to have his Tease, that’s for sure. They’ll simply be removed from him when he enters Landels. So yeah, no man-eaiting butterflies for him, so he won’t be able to use them as blades or shields. He’ll immediately notice they are absent, since they are stored within his body. Though the possibility is incredibly slim, if he manages to re-acquire a few Tease he’ll still be able to store them in his body. But I don’t see that happening very soon.

As for his own power, to manipulate the matter around him, that will be greatly weakened. But as I still want him to keep something to a certain extend, I have the following proposal.

He’ll be able to use his power only twice in a single night, and only for a short amount of time. What does that mean? He’ll be able to phase through walls, floors or other objects, or even attacks from enemies (not that it’d be practical due to the limitations below, but that’s another story).

However, in order to prevent him having too much of a convenience, I’ll set the following extra limitations:
- The first attempt will leave him dizzy and shaky. He’ll need a moment or two to collect his bearings and he’ll still feel drained for quite some time.
- The second attempt will make him lose consciousness right after he uses it.
- He won’t be able to use it during the day.
- He won’t be able to enter any locked room with his power. If he wants to try it, something will block it.
- He won’t be able to take anyone with him when phasing through the wall. Just the items currently on his person, and himself. I think this is already canon, but I’m stating it for the record.
- He won’t be able to use it on other patients, nightshifters or monsters (so no organ-snatching for him). He’ll be able to phase through a spear, but he won’t be able to phase through the arm if someone were to grab him by his throat. Again, if he tries it something will block it. This should prevent him from killing powerful nightshifters or players, since no matter how strong the creature, he can kill it by snatching a vital organ (brains or the heart).
- He won’t be able to create a vacuum around someone or anything else that isn’t stated above. He’ll only be able to do the phasing stuff. Anything else will be out of the question.

Body-wise, it will be that of a regular human, even during the night when he’s having the cool crosses on his forehead. He won’t be able to bear more injuries than a normal human would, nor would they heal any faster than a normal human (unless, say, a healing spell was used). He’s also seen jumping from roof to roof and seems to be pretty quick in the anime/manga, but he won’t have any of that either. So aside from his power as stated above, he won’t have anything fancy. No cool jumping abilities, no quick reflexes, no extra strength or stamina. Nothing. Because, if allowed, he already has what’s stated above.

Additionally, he still retains the telepathic connection, even during the day. However, still will leave him with a headache, and the messages will sound a bit fuzzy.

Regarding his sides, he can no longer choose in which he will remain. He'll be forced to stay in white during the day, and black during the night.


Non-magical abilities
Tyki appears to be pretty good at playing poker. Or perhaps I should say cheating at poker (He isn’t as good as Allen though). Also, since Tyki’s pretty sticky-fingered I’d say he’s pretty good at stealing and pick-pocketing.
