((Level 1: Updates are in RED , also tried cleaning it up a little, but I may have just made it more messy XP.
EDIT: Cleaned some abilities up, should make sense now? ))
Name : “Yggdrasil”
Designation: unknown
Race: Symbiotic weapon
Alignment: Chaotic neutral
Age: Timeless
Height: varied
Weight: varied
Status: activated
Description:
A weapon able to take on a form of the desire of its “Hjor” the term it will name its current owner or “Hildebrand” the name it will give to those who know its name. It’s use is to enhance the user to the point where it will draw out there full potential or simply protect them until it finds a new owner, or sticks with the one it already has.
Although reluctant to communicate with anything or anyone beyond its current form when in the so called Neutral form, but when it has created a link it isn’t quite as reluctant, going so far as to protect the user at all costs give additional advise and help to even go as far as try to force dominance over the user if it judges it has too, mostly it just watches and learns and calculates
Although its form of communication is strange and almost unique, it gives off no words or speaks a language any can understand, instead the words appear in the Hjor’s mind, or rather impressions and emotions, desire and will, the link forms the translation and communication is more flawless than actual speech
Another form of communication is to form an astral projection of it, the appearance not usually seen, this actually communicates the same way as the other although with a link active the Hjor will believe there is a voice and actual communication is commencing, the astral projection can not interact with the world nor can it communicate with anyone other than the one it has made a link with in this form either, although people with a high psychic talent may be able to initiate conversation
It’s Neutral form: being it’s base form is that of a perfectly shaped sphere with no blemishes or flaws, it’s as clear as water while at the same time as blue as the sky of the day or as dark as night, mostly depending how one would look at it. And considering the nature of it, its entire mass used for changing its basic shape are compressed into this one single form making it all but indestructible but at the same time it is its most useless state. It is always seen floating in the air never touching the ground and to date it has never been touch as close contact with any sentient form of life caused it to instantly grab hold and create a link
It’s linked form happens when it currently has a user a “Hjor” or “Hildebrand” and will take a form of a glowing Blue bracelet on either wrist, although it is different for each user, it may be a bracelet or a gauntlet, it may possibly even become a tail or a pair of wings to even a simple necklace, the form is simply what is chooses to be or what a user may expect it to be, it’s shape shifting abilities are very efficient. One things remains a constant in everything outside it’s neutral form is that a Red core will appear on all other forms weapon forms included is that a small red core will appear somewhere along the body, if a strong enough hit makes contact this will disrupt Yggdrasil into a normal Linked bracelet form for a small amount of time
The battle form and true form are unknown
[B]Material: Acanor
A strange material and utterly unique as in the Symbiotic weapon is the only creation made from such a material, it is not something formed naturally within the planet or something unnatural, the most likely question is if it even actually exists, none has ever seen it or actually studied it, it is only perceived to initially to be only as strong as steel and even then it is said to have the ability to reform itself or to grow stronger and denser and that it is immune to decomposing or rusting as other materials being truly timeless
Personality:
Aloof and rather Detached to life, Yggdrasil really has no care for anything or anyone, despite links being established and the seeming top priority it takes when defending the life of a Hjor, that at times may appear to be selfless, Yggdrasil is in reality a rather selfish being out to only further it’s goals and to fulfil it’s purpose, it is however susceptible to emotions, amusement and annoyance being the easiest to stimulate
Another enigma is that although it recognises itself to be self aware even higher on a plain of existence no mortal and most immortals could never hope to achieve or comprehend, it considers itself little more than a tool, either to its current Hjor or to its greater purpose in life, world dominance is always something to strive for
It does however revolve around rules
1: Love the Hjor, become there shield for there life is precious
2: never harm the Hjor, perseverance of there life is top priority
3: never get attached, Even if facing a previous Hjor, never think twice cutting them down
Abilities,
Shape shift: The most notable feature of Yggdrasil is its ability to shift its shape and weight into an almost limitless number of weapons, mostly blades or other such varieties but odd forms such as ribbons and chains have been said to have been seen from the weapon. The size and shape it can become is only limited by it’s Hjor and the current mass that has been collected , being unable to become a large and dense object at the same time, being limited at the moment to either become smaller and more dense or thinner with less density, it can’t generate mass from nowhere despite popular belief
Another limit to it’s shape shifting abilities is once again dependant on the Hjor, considering it would be pointless too become a sword for a spear user, or a bastard sword for a single dagger user, that said Yggdrasil also holds the right to become something more appropriate if it disagrees with it’s Hjor’s current choice for a weapon
Ranged Weapons are dealt in an odd way, if Formed to a bow, crossbow or any other kind of ranged weapon, conventional ammo can not be used, instead it will take what ammunition it needs out of the Hjor’s own manna supply, (see: Energy manipulation) a leeching effect but ultimately there own choice and Yggdrasil always gives a warning over such actions
Another limit is that it can not take the form of complex machinery; Crossbows already push the limits it has and anything beyond that is beyond the limit of the symbiotic weapon
Current Durability: Steel
Total mass:3/4 of a ton
Emotion influence
Yggdrasil is a sentient being that exists mentally on a higher scope of things, but even its influence on its Hjor’s are limited at best. Being able to think at a speed beyond normal humans isn’t so much a gift when Yggdrasil has little influence on the world outside of a Hjor desire
However being linked to the Hjor allows Yggdrasil rather free access to the hjors mind but it’s still mostly a look but don’t touch deal except for one detail, Yggdrasil can and will influence emotions to a small degree or suppress them if it thinks its deterrent to its user, or even to possibly Guide the Hjor in a fight if they would allow it.
[B]Bilocation : In a sense, it’s similar in form to an astral projection; however instead of Spiritual it is very much physical. With Bilocation, the user is in two places at the exact same time, sharing one mind between two bodies. However Yggdrasil can’t duplicate it’s original form, instead it manipulates it’s manna pool and any excess energy it has accumulated to forge a body.
The body is relatively humanoid, with no clear additional features unless extra energy is used for its creation, and unlike its astral projection where the appearance is anything it chooses, its other ‘Body’ is set in a pre-existing template. At Best this Energy Forged Body looks rather life-like, however it has a few differences, and the main being is that it is slightly weaker than a normal Human, has no Voice, and Weighs next to nothing.
It is however More Durable to impacts, able to take up to twice more force but the pay off is that it’s also a lot weaker to slashes, weak slashes count as deeper wounds. Enough Damage done to it will cause it to dispel, which causes feedback energy that Renders Yggdrasil rather useless, which is a victory to any enemy.
The Extra Body is designed to Aid it’s Hjor in battle, as well as allow it to explore on it’s own, however unlike the Original Body, it does not have any means to sustain itself, if it leaves the original Body beyond 20 meters, the energy looses stability and eventually dissipates, within the Circle it is capable of existing rather freely and is also able to become a ‘shell’ for it’s original body if there is no Hjor.
Thought Projection : Allows the user to Communicate through a one way form of Telepathy, Yggdrasil to Receiver
Magic
Energy manipulation :
Able to manipulate most forms of energy, natural, raw energy, ki magic, spirit and soul energy to a weak extent but is able to draw in trace amounts of the surrounding energy to continuously restore it’s own manna pool, or at a longer time convert it into mass, making most of Yggdrasil actual body mass pure energy
Attack
Default
Actually Yggdrasil only form of independent attack as far as attacks go, using it’s own manna pool it is able to take it’s own energy and compress it into fine thin strips of energy, like arrows that don’t have a tip or tail, they will spread out before altering there direction so suddenly it looks like they had just bounced off a mirror, the damage is rather minimal, but distracting, like a small needle it will pierce the skin before simply fading away
Level 1: Yggdrasil’s Main form of Magic is derived from a much more potent source named Manna, this source allows it a near infinite resource for energy. With a new level of Control Comes the ability to create shapes and pour in more manna until Yggdrasil meets its' current limit, which as of now, isn't that destructive.
At its current Level it can not incorporate any type of element into its attack leaving it a pure form of magic, which at best leaves a stinging sensation when touched, with a impact force Double of a punch. Another Feature for Pure Manna is that when it hits anything is that it releases a small violent bust of Psychic energy, relatively harmless but is known to knock the unwary off there feet
Ranged mode
When in a ranged attack form things are handled a lot differently, through the link it creates with the Hjor, it instead of using it’s own manna reserves will instead take it directly from the Hjor, the amount and how powerful are dependant on the Hjor, for the sake of a bow or crossbow, it forms a greater beam of energy to be shot instead of conventional ammo, and although stronger still has the same properties and the same ability to change direction once in the air and only once
Even though the energy is compromised of raw energy, it still has some characteristics of a normal arrow, an enchanted one at best. It has characteristics of a steel arrow, meaning it’s not going to pierce armour, if at all, but it does hold quite a punch as the raw energy used in its creation tends to be stubborn with momentum and will shove whatever it hits with a force equal to that of a punch.
(Suppose I should say guns are a no no. eww such uncivilized weapons)
Enchantments:
Augment Strength: Gives the Hjor enhanced strength, the limit being that the Hjor will only receive an increase in .5x there normal strength, and only for a certain amount of time, Yggdrasil can only bring out that potential in a Hjor for about 5 minutes. (Ally PC only)
Augment Speed: Enhances the Hjor initiate speed and reflexes and the instinct to handle such an increase in speed, not a proficient as the other two Augmentations being that it only increases the Hjor’s speed by 15%, again the absolute limit is that it can only be brought out of the Hjor for 5 minutes as well. (Ally PC only)
Augment magic: Boosts the Hjor’s capacity for magic by a small portion, usually granting them a deeper manna pool allowing them to cast usually costly magic at least once more before exhaustion, those without a natural talent for Magic will simply gain an instinctive sensitivity to it. (Ally PC only)
Astral projection: An upgrade to the Projection Yggdrasil creates in the mind of the Hjor, Can be seen by everyone as a simple avatar, it however lacks the ability to interact with anything material: obtained Via Bazaar:
Levitate: This Enchantment let’s Yggdrasil obtain free movement, via levitation obviously. It is limited in only being able to float 1 meter off the ground and only has a max speed of a grown man jogging: Obtained Via Bazaar:
Gifts / others
Tear of life
To those deemed “Hildebrand” users a small solid blue tear is given to them as a gift, this allows for Yggdrasil to “If being unused” to teleport to anyone of the tears when the desire for it arises once again, its effect basically summons Yggdrasil to a previous user who it has told it’s name too
History:
The Origin and Purpose of Yggdrasil is all but unknown to everything and everyone save for itself, it originated from a God of Forge, that had been tasked to create the greatest of weapons, and given and created by the gods themselves to the Mortal Aiesear, who prayed to the gods for a weapon to which he could both use to protect his sworn country and to destroy all of it’s enemies.
And so it did, wielded by Aiesear it defended just as much as it protected, and eventually Aiesear defeated all of his beloved countries enemies and went to live happily ever after.
The irony to that tale of legend was that in the End Yggdrasil was used to destroy to same home it had protected, the same country that had fallen under bad rule and ultimately judged that it had become its own worst enemy.
One Story out of possibly many others through the ages and one Origin of such a weapon, many would speculate that although the events in this story could be true, to a certain point The Origin of Yggdrasil is far more ancient than even that story would leave one to believe
Some believe that Yggdrasil could almost be as old as time itself, or created at some point in between just as some would speculate that Yggdrasil too isn’t actually a weapon but merely used as one through the ages.
Its history is shrouded in theories and roomers legends and fiction as well as facts makes it almost impossible to piece together the full extent and the true story
Yggdrasil has recently been sighted in the city of Scara Brae, in the procession of a simple man for what might be weeks before he was killed, in an act that is believed was because of them seeking Yggdrasil itself. Despite seemingly being hunted down Yggdrasil was snatched up into the possession of a rather Plump Dark Elf named Bevel.
Being on the Run himself, the two attracted Double the unwanted attention, In the end Yggdrasil had decided that in order to Protect it’s Hjor it must leave him, so it fell into the Hands of a young boy named Aiesear, an irony but the boy and the man from it’s past are nothing alike.
