History update for Level 6:
After a short stint working with the Order of the Golden Dawn, Logan was approached by Vincent Cain of the Tarot Hierarchy. Vince levelled questions which the psion was unable to answer regarding the responsibility of the Golden Dawn to the artifacts and their use, and ultimately Logan joined with Tarot.
A few months passed, and in that time he quickly rose through the ranks becoming one of the heaviest recruiters and adventurers of the Hierarchy. Most recently, he was awarded the Fool Card, and has begun research into what that represents for him and his life.
Through all of his recruitments, battles, quests, adventures and research into his own abilities -- and those of others -- he has improved his innate ability with manipulating the elements of water to new levels.
Skills:
Master Swordsman
Master Telepath
Master Marksman
Strong-willed
Extreme Focus
Abilities:
(Note for approval: Water Manipulation was split out into two separate ability trees as opposed to one tree and then multiple abilities under it. Any additions are minor in nature, but if you have questions, feel free to ask. I re-did all of the abilities for organization purposes. Abilities from level five are left black. New abilities are in red, and tweaked abilities/modified abilities are in green.)
Matter Manipulation -- This is the ability tree under which the two ability trees below function.
Phase Manipulation -- After much practice and continued use in highly stressful situations, the psion can alter phases of matter by expending some of his own energy. Logan can perform 10 changes of phase per day (or per thread). This ability does not allow him to manipulate the phase of liquids within a humanoid body (this includes furries and the like), nor is he able to freeze or burn another character directly with this ability.
Phase Flow -- After continued research and experimentation, the psion is able to control the flow of most liquids. At present, he is able to alter the direction of flow, the speed of flow, or cease the flow entirely. He is unable to turn liquid flow into a weapon, merely a utility by which he can perform some tricks, none of which are offensive or attack-oriented.
Phase Burst -- Devotion to the art of Matter Manipulation, and specifically to the Phase Manipulation tree allowed the discovery of a unique property of the phase shift. By shifting at a rapid rate of speed between one form to another, energy is released in the form of a bright light. This light is bright enough Logan is able to brighten a dark area with a radius of 50 feet enough for normal sight to function, but still not comparable to natural daylight. Initially, this burst was a couple of seconds at most, but with continued practice he learned to control it for up to thirty minutes at a time.
Element Manipulation - This is the ability tree granting Logan innate manipulation over elements. At current, only the abilities listed below provide actual manipulation of elements. Other elements remain out of his control and reach.
Oxygen Manipulation -- This ability allows Logan to manipulate the Oxygen molecules around him and their atomic components (electrons, neutrons and protons).
Oxygen Flow: Oxygen Deprivation - By restricting oxygen flow to the brain, he can cause hallucinations after one and a half minutes without oxygen. Vital brain activity and function begin to shut down after two minutes, leaving the victim numb and without use of their limbs, and loss of speech. After ten minutes without oxygen flow, the brain fully shuts down and the victim enters a comatose state. After twenty minutes without oxygen flow, the body shuts down entirely and death is achieved. This ability can be countered by breaking the psion's concentration or focus, or by the victim slowing their heart rate to near death levels so that the necessity for oxygen is minimized. This ability ONLY affects those with respiratory systems which require oxygen flow. Oxygen deprivation can only be used once per day, and if it is sustained for the entire twenty minute duration the energy and focus expended is substantial enough Logan will need to rest for at least three hours.
Oxygen Flow: Oxygenation - By increasing the flow of oxygen within any respiratory system requiring oxygen he is able to sufficiently increase the rate of healing above what would be normal for the creature or humanoid including himself. The rate of this healing is equivalent to healing minor wounds completely over the course of an hour, healing moderate wounds almost completely over the course of a few hours (6-8), and healing major wounds to stable over the course of a couple of hours. This ability does not grant regeneration of lost limbs or prevent death in the event of a fatal blow, but it can help prevent blood loss leading to death. Full healing of minor wounds isn’t overly taxing and can be performed once every couple of hours or at maximum three times per day. Full healing of moderate wounds is fairly taxing and can be performed once per week or at maximum once per thread. Stabilizing major wounds is extremely taxing and can be performed once per week or at a maximum of once per thread, and once the wound is stabilized Logan will need to rest for at least six hours to recuperate lost stamina and energy.
Oxygen Flow: Oxygen Bubble - By increasing the amount of oxygen present in an area of water the psion is able to create an oxygenated bubble by which he can effectively breathe underwater for a longer duration than would normally be capable. This ability provides for an additional 5 minutes of "water breathing", but the bubble can be broken fairly easily with just a mundane offensive spell from an opponent.
Hydrogen Manipulation -- There’s not a whole lot Logan can do with this ability on its own, but he can manipulate hydrogen molecules, moving them from one area to another. Through careful honing of his Element Manipulation, Logan has gained the capacity to more substantially control the presence of hydrogen. This ability cannot be used to create any form of nuclear reaction such as an atomic bomb. The below abilities are considered to fall under the Hydrogen Manipulation ability tree. Hydrogen Manipulation abilities are limited to one ability use per day or at a maximum of once per thread, meaning only Hydrogen manipulation can occur per day or per thread.
Hydrogen Bonding -- Through careful research and experimentation Logan has honed his finite control of hydrogen atoms to the point where he is able to bond additional hydrogen atoms to chemical compounds, but not to the effect of creating an instant explosion. While he can create substances such as Hydrogen Peroxide with only minor effort, he cannot create any sort of nuclear substances or compounds.
Carbon Manipulation -- Through careful research, experimentation and sheer luck Logan has adapted his manipulation abilities to allow for very minor control of carbon atoms. At current, he only has one use for this, and further abilities associated with Carbon Manipulation will require a level update and approval through the Realm of Greeting.
Carbon Bonding -- Grain Alcohol or Wood Alcohol -- Once per day to a maximum of once per thread, Logan can manipulate carbon matter around him from inanimate objects to create grain alcohol or wood alcohol (both compounds require the presence of water in addition to the carbon necessary to perform the bonding). There isn’t much use for this for Logan right now, but Aleran scientists are extremely curious as to the chemical makeup of these two compounds and are experimenting with potential uses. (At current, Logan cannot use these compounds for anything more than just show as he is unaware of how to use them to benefit or otherwise).
Equipment and Materials (all items linked in signature for approval purposes -- except Silence Blades and Liquid Crest earned eons ago. Items in red were acquired/gained since level 5.):
The "Fools Rush In" which Logan was awarded as one of the monthly Tarot Hierarchy items. This bracer allows Logan to create a kinetic shield once per day (or per thread) for ten minutes (or one post) which can shield up to ten individuals so long as they fit or stay within a fifteen foot ring centered on the wearer. Should a wearer other than The Fool attempt to use the shield, it functions instead as a personal kinetic shield and can only deflect or shield from minor attacks. The bracer requires the presence and request of the Tarot Hierarchy's Empress (currently Alyssa Snow) to function at all. The request is made as a command word which is made known to the Empress upon her ascension to Empress role within the Hierarchy. With Logan's finite control over oxygen and hydrogen, he is able to further strengthen the lattice of protection, offering substantial protection from most any blow for the duration, though fine mists or fogs can penetrate. Once it is activated, only the Empress or Logan can deactivate.
A masterwork Talymer longbow, which Logan purchased from the Black Market. It includes 40 redwood arrows, which are enchanted to light on fire if Logan wills them, but only once per day. The enchanted arrows then trail fire behind, and upon striking a surface the fire transforms into a steel cord, and the head transforms into a small steel grappling hook.
The Dreamer’s Helm which Logan was awarded for his work in the Geology Boss Battle. The helm is crafted of fine mithril, and is enchanted to allow the wearer for a short time (a single post) to shift from the material plane to a dreamlike existence. While active, the wearer’s presence on the material plane appears as a glimmering visage of beauty, unaffected by most attacks, magical or otherwise. This ability can be activated twice per day.
An ingot of titanium metal which Logan earned as a spoil for his efforts in Allies and Alloys. The ingot has no special qualities. It is simply an ingot of metal.
The Might of Moxxilus which Logan was awarded for his work in the Might of Moxie Althanas Day Boss Battle. Once per day the ring can coat the wearer in a thick Jade-like stone substance to prevent all damage that would be taken in the post. The wearer is rendered immobile and has decreased senses, but cannot be injured or moved from their place.
The Silence Blades which Logan purchased eons ago from the Bazaar. These prevalida shortswords are his tried and true weapons in battle, and though they possess no inherent abilities or enchantments, they are still quite deadly.
The Liquid Crest which Logan received from a battle with Philantrioss and Silence Sei. These markings appear on his forehead, but have faded over the years to resemble an aged and fading tattoo.
Appearance:
Logan has returned to his days of the black duster trench coat, white fitted shirt, silver Celtic cross necklace, and black combat boots. His silvery white hair is pulled back into a ponytail, which, if undone from the ponytail rests right on his shoulders. His eyes are ice blue and his skin is tanned from his many recent adventures.
