Jan. 15th, 2018 08:28 pmCHARACTER: Piccolo
CANON: Dragon Ball Z
VESSEL NAME: --I forgot to write this down and don't remember it, sob
LOCATION: Back.
VESSEL FORM: A miaodao (or changdao)--a two-handed, single edged sword with a roughly four-and-a-half foot long blade and foot-and-a-half long hilt. A Far Shore denizen might call it a ōdachi at a glance. However, it is noticeably less curved and more broad than a traditional nihontō. The hilt is a vibrant green the shade of Piccolo's skin.
POWER: Regenerative Healing Factor. This comes into effect in two separate ways. When Piccolo's god simply holds the blade on their person they will receive small regenerative effect to their own body, healing minor wounds within seconds or minutes rather than hours or days. This effect could grow stronger, affecting larger and more serious wounds as well as how quickly it occurs, as Piccolo gains experience and strength. At its zenith the ability would even be able to allow for severed limbs to be completely regrown, such as Piccolo's own innate ability to regenerate works. Alternately, the ability can be applied to other life forms by "attacking" them with the unsheathed blade. This essentially renders the blade ineffective as an offensive weapon and forces it to be used only as a defensive and supportive item. If used against an ayakashi it will not cut the spirit; however, it can still be used to block, parry, and push away the evil spirit. Any other person, living or dead, it will heal when used, though the amount of healing is directly related to Piccolo's ability and determination at that time. In other words, if the god wants to heal someone but Piccolo does not it will only have a minimum effect. (In a similar fashion to Yukine's ability to control what his blade Rends and how much damage he outputs.) This will force him to grow as a person (or not) in order to use this ability more effectively (or not).
GOD: Gohan
EXP POINTS: 197/197
CAUSE OF DEATH: Defending a young Gohan from certain death by an enemy's ki blast, Piccolo jumps in the line of fire and blocks Gohan from harm, thus dying while performing the first truly selfless act he ever commits. Here, have some feels.

Jan. 15th, 2018 08:11 pmCHARACTER NAME: Piccolo
CHARACTER SERIES: DBZ
OOC
Backtagging: Yes.
Threadhopping: Sure thing! As long as it looks open hop right in! If you're uncertain drop me a line and I'll let you know, no worries either way. If there's a network in game: be sure to mind a locked/unhackable conversation. This guy isn't great with tech but his friends might be, so just ask if it can be hacked if unsure.
Fourthwalling: This is probably okay, just let me know ahead of time so I can figure out if that's too awkward of a fourthwall to scale. /bricked for the pun
Offensive subjects: Eh, if I find one I'll let you know. Usually nothing bothers me in the long run.
IC
Hugging this character: Yes, although it'll be awkward.
Kissing this character: ...I mean, they can it'll just be super awkward. Depending on who it is and why it's done there may be (hilarious) yelling and flailing. Or just awkward blushing and stammering.
Flirting with this character: Yes. He won't get it. Please try though. It amuses his mun.
Fighting with this character: HELL YEAH. He's a fighter!
Injuring this character: Usually I say anything goes except for permanently severing limbs but... well that's not an issue here! Haha!! He'll just grow it back. Anyway, he's super strong and all that jazz so if you want to plot out a fight first, have at me.
Killing this character: Only if it naturally comes to this in a thread. He's fairly strong and resilient though. Hit me up if you have any plotting in mind to lead to this and we'll discuss it!
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Yes, and in forewarning he is capable of telepathy of his own accord. Don't think he can block mindreading though. Let me know ahead of time just in case it leads to an issue that might cause problems. But it's probably okay for minor things.
Warnings: I can't think of anything at the moment. Although I am used to writing blood and gore though so if a fight gets pretty intense I might get graphic in that regard; just let me know ahead of time if that's not your jam. I'll scale it back.
