    Strengths
    Vs.
    Weaknesses
    Overview of Strengths

    • Gum enjoys a powerful connection to:
      1. Other realms.
      2. Spirits.
      3. Nature.
    • Via these connections, the shaman attempts to manipulate & deceive.
    • Via connection to nature & spirit world, has slightly higher than average perception.
    • Gum can shapeshift into other creatures.


    Overview of Weaknesses

    • In spite of imposing appearance, Gum remains middle-aged human with all associated frailties.
    • In human form, Gum has below average:
      1. Speed.
      2. Strength.
      3. Endurance.
      4. Defence.
      5. Agility.
    • Without transforming into a Xangu jungle cat, Gum has little hope of inflicting damage.
    • While he carries a rudimentary axe, his ability with it is unremarkable.




    Abilityo1
    Transformation
    "Forest Trickster"

    • Gum can transform into a forest trickster.
    • The forest trickster is a monkey-like mammal with bandy arms and large, round eyes. The the trickster is small, no bigger than a domestic cat.
    • Benefits while in forest trickster form:
      1. Able to swing through the trees at considerable speed (four times faster than the average person on foot). After fleeing for a period of time (four posts), the shaman tires and slows to the same pace as an average person running on the ground.
      2. The spirits of the forest come to the trickster's aid and leave phantom footprints leading away into the woods. The shaman can avail of this trick twice per fight.
      3. The spirits of the forest come to the trickster's aid and appear as apparitions in the form of the human Gum do Mugu. These spirits appear as Gum for less than a second before fading into the shadows. The apparitions are always running into the woods, in an attempt to lead any foes in the wrong direction. The shaman is able to avail of this trick two times per encounter.
    • Limitations and details:
      1. Transformation only takes a moment to complete.
      2. Transformation from human to trickster does not cause confusion or fatigue, but returning to human form from trickster form leaves Gum disorientated and tired for two posts.
      3. Ability can only be used in thick forest.




    Abilityo2
    Transformation
    "Xangu Jungle Cat"

    • Gum can transform into a Xangu jungle cat.
    • Benefits while in big cat form:
      1. Jaw muscles give him the strength to pierce a skull with his canines, other bone would be more difficult to bite through.
      2. Burst speed is increased in cat form, Gum can reach 40mph for a short chase before slowing significantly.
      3. Can leap short distances, typically to aid in climbing trees and other structures.
      4. Piercing claws, able to slice through flesh and cloth, but not thick leather.
    • Limitations and details:
      1. Transformation only takes a moment to complete.
      2. Transformation from human to big cat does not cause confusion or fatigue, but returning to human form from cat form leaves Gum disorientated and tired for two posts.




    Abilityo3
    Transformation
    "Xangu Dire Troll"

    • Gum can transform into a Xangu dire troll.
    • Benefits while in dire troll form:
      1. Increased size. In dire troll form, Gum is eight feet tall.
      2. Increased strength. Gum is ten times stronger than average.
      3. Increased reach. In dire troll form, his arms are four feet long.
    • Limitations and details:
      1. Transformation only takes a moment to complete.
      2. Transformation from human to dire troll does not cause confusion or fatigue, but returning to human form from troll form leaves Gum disorientated and tired for two posts.
      3. Unlike other forms, dire troll form has limited duration. Duration is either 10 posts or approximately 30 minutes of "real time" IC.




    Abilityo4
    Medicine Man
    "Ungotuu Fever"

    • As a shaman of the Xangu people, Gum is responsible for curing sickness in his people. A common sickness in the Xangu Basin is the Ungotuu Magic Fever. In order to draw the sickness from an individual, the shaman must store the sickness in a glass jar with a cork top.
    • Gum carries one jar of of Ungotuu Magic Fever with him at all times for use in combat. The shaman will toss the glass jar at the ground at the foot of his enemy. Once the jar shatters, the sickness enters the air and quickly infects the target.
    • Ungotuu Magic Fever affects the brain, causing the following symptoms:
      • Mild bleeding from the nose and eyes.
      • Creeping anxiety and dread.
      • Suicidal thoughts.
    • To be infected, the target must be within three feet of the jar when it smashes.
    • With no immediate host to infect, the disease dies quickly in the open air.
    • Gum is able to toss the jar fairly accurately for six feet only, beyond that his aim is very unreliable. The shaman is able to lob the jar up to twenty feet, but with no accuracy whatsoever.
    • The symptoms of Ungotuu Magic Fever are inhibited by adrenaline and therefore in a combat setting the disease only lasts a short while (3 posts)




    Abilityo5
    Medicine Man
    "Fat Belly Bloat"

    • As a shaman of the Xangu people, Gum is responsible for curing sickness in his people. A common sickness in the Xangu Basin is the Fat Belly Bloat. In order to draw the sickness from an individual, the shaman must store the sickness in a glass jar with a cork top.
    • Gum carries one jar of of Fat Belly Bloat with him at all times for use in combat. The shaman will toss the glass jar at the ground at the foot of his enemy. Once the jar shatters, the sickness enters the air and quickly infects the target.
    • Fat Belly Bloat affects the abdomen, causing the following symptoms:
      • Severe stomach ache.
      • Grotesquely swollen belly; it causes the belly to quadruple in size.
    • To be infected, the target must be within three feet of the jar when it smashes.
    • With no immediate host to infect, the disease dies quickly in the open air.
    • Gum is able to toss the jar fairly accurately for six feet only, beyond that his aim is very unreliable. The shaman is able to lob the jar up to twenty feet, but with no accuracy whatsoever.
    • The symptoms of Fat Belly Bloat are inhibited by adrenaline and therefore in a combat setting the disease only lasts a short while (3 posts)




    Abilityo6
    Spirit Master
    "Ghost Slaves"

    • Gum has the ability to pull the spirits of the dead into the world of the living.
      1. This projection of the dead gives them the appearance of being made of flesh and blood.
      2. However, they are just spectres with no physical matter and as such can only act as a distraction.
    • Limitations and details:
      1. Gum can only summon three ghosts per fight before he needs to meditate and recover his energy.
      2. He can either summon all at once, one at a time, or a combination of two and one at different points in the fight.
      3. Gum can only maintain his hold over the spirits for three posts before the bond is broken.




    Abilityo7
    Spirit Master
    "3-Legged Crow"

    • Gum has the ability to summon a three-legged crow.
    • The crow has two abilities Gum can call upon. He can only use one of the two choices per fight.
      1. The crow possesses five seconds of accurate foresight and is therefore able to assist with combat by providing insight into the coming moments. If Gum chooses to request his companion's advice, then that knowledge changes the future and so the bird's foresight is compromised (only usable once per fight).
      2. The three-legged crow also knows the ghosts of an individual's past. As such, Gum can call upon the bird to inform him of the spirits of a person's past.





    Abilityo8
    Spirit Master
    "Storm Blast"

    • Able to summon a storm spirit.
    • Storm spirit blasts a 20 foot diameter around Gum.
    • The storm blast includes:
      1. Squalls strong enough to knock down an average human.
      2. Static energy, i.e. weak electric shocks.
      3. Heavy rain.
    • Limitations and details:
      1. Four post recharge time.
      2. Storm blast lasts only a second and then disappears entirely.




    Skills

    Master Headshrinker
    Gum do Mugu has the knowledge and skill to remove the skulls of the dead, prepare the remaining flesh and then shrink their heads.

    Spirit World
    Gum, via a sacred ritual, is able to commune with the dead. The dead can provide information the living cannot. As such, he is able to use information gleaned from the souls of the deceased to his advantage.

    Totem Carving
    Using an obsidian shard borrowed from his axe, Gum is able to carve small totems from dead wood. These totems are used in the shaman's sacred rituals.

    Underworld
    During twilight, Gum can travel to the underworld--i.e. the world of the dead. While in this state, his body is left behind, in a trance.



    Notes, addendum, etc
    - Changed name of transformation from "jaguar" to "Xangu jungle cat".
    - Removed "animism weeping willow"from level 4 update.
    - Removed skills aquaculture & vision portals (the latter was op and stupid)

    This profile is sick.

    I just have a few initial questions before I get to number crunching.

    Xangu Dire Troll

    - Am I correct in assuming the transformation is complete at the end of the post it is initiated in?
    - How long does the disorientation last?

    Storm Rage

    - How long does each storm last?

    Cheers.

    hey shin ty for looking at my prof and ty for kind words.

    - Am I correct in assuming the transformation is complete at the end of the post it is initiated in?
    yeah i like it if the transformations can be fast. so if i could i'd like to keep that. totally open to negotiating and dialing down other stuff to keep that kind of SNAP transformation.

    - How long does the disorientation last?
    is two posts okay? i edited that into the other transformations because they didn't specify and thought it made sense to keep that uniform.

    - How long does each storm last?
    just a second. it's meant to be more of a blast of a storm than an actual storm.

    thanks again dude appreciate what the admin do to keep the place running all these years

    actually i'm gonna change the name from "storm rage" to "storm blast"

    re-branding it like that makes its nature less confusing for sure.
