MEDIETAS PERMISSIONS POST
SO NOA HAS A LOT OF POWERS (this will look prettier later as a side note but getting this up was kinda important)
As a Ryslig CRAU, Noa is a Naga; however, he was also a naga that had aligned with the Fog God for a Good Long Time. And that means he got some perks. A lot of perks.
Many of his powers have thus been nerfed to the point of Explicit Player Permission. This post exists for people to leave a hard set 'No Thank You' for any of them at all, but no matter what, when the window for a power to reveal itself comes up in RP, a warning will be made that allows the player on the other end to determine if it works or not.
There are also powers that he innately has no matter what, which are going to be described first, for the purposes of general awareness.
Strength Monsters are incredibly strong in Ryslig; able to take on 'five men'. For reference, Noa is capable of lifting a car to that end...though it's fairly awkward if he isn't using the weird hand-wing things off his back.
Snake Senses As a serpent-like creature, Noa has access to heat-based vision, as well as the general ability to 'taste' the air. His venom is also a powerful toxin; though people are free to comment likely resistances to such a thing. (Like most snake venom, it needs to enter the bloodstream to be effective anyway, though if he spits it in your eyes, That's Gonna Sting) Notably, he is also cold blooded sooooo...
Shapeshifting Noa is able to shapeshift into a number of different creatures; these are a large viper, an iguana sized 'basilisk' (with an associated humanoid state as this form has a time limit of 8:24 hours), and an enormous, waterbound serpent called the 'Bakunawa'. The latter is large enough to hold a grown man inside its mouth without trouble. ...It also can't move on land due to said mass. Whoops. The basilisk, meanwhile is capable of burrowing to great depths. The snake is a snake.
Added Appendages Noa has four snakes growing from his head; with focus, he can loosely see through them. He also has great 'hand-like' appendages off his back, which operate akin to large baseball gloves. His rattle is the most key however; replacing his need to eat human beings from Ryslig, Noa requires an occasional intake of Energy, which he can manage by shaking his rattle. More on this below.
OPT-IN ABILITIES
The following are all powers that Noa has at his disposal that may or may not work; players are encouraged to choose if an ability will be effective or not, especially since they're not exactly Ryslig Humans.
Eye Related Powers Noa has two unique abilities tied to his eyes, which he uses his glasses to offset. The first requires nothing but prolonged contact. First, a victim is paralyzed-then, the longer they stand, the more they begin to turn to stone.
The second is more dramatic. If Noa begins to speak, and continues to speak, the victim begins to hallucinate their worst fear associated with Noa's words. This spell typically lasts until Noa stops talking and breaks eye contact. If either are still in play, the spell persists. Or at least, that's how it worked back home. (Once again, players are encouraged to decide how a spell fails, if they want it to fail!)
Unrelated to any permissions, Noa's glare can occasionally break glass. Actually his anger in general, when peaked, can cause glass to shatter. Oops.
Energy Rattle As noted above, Noa's rattle serves as his source of 'feeding' in Medietas. By shaking the rattle, he drains energy from others in the area, as well as distracting them in a sort of trance-like state. Both the energy drain and the distracting trance can be opted out of.
Electric Magic Noa has ELECTRIC MAGIC. He can create electricity, he can spit it, he can channel it-he can do a lot of things with it, which is why it goes under HERE. If players don't want any risk of getting struck by lightning (or being bitten for that matter, but 9/10 times he opts for the electric shock since it's less hands on), comment below!
More information on these powers, and Noa himself, are of course on his app. Beyond that, I look forward to playing with everyone!
