You Can Do That?!

Powers:
Energy Pulse - Kai can produce a pulse that can temporarily cancel out a Ryougan’s power. This pulse can also shut down any heat reactions like fire or lightning. The pulse always cancels out any incoming abilities. The size of the pulse varies on how much energy Kai puts into it. For example, it takes more energy to us radial pulses that hits things all around him rather then a pulse that hits things in front of him. However the larger the pulse, the weaker it’s effect. The radial pulse can disable ability for a few seconds(1 post). Kai tends to use the radial pulse to put out fires or stop electricity flow. The smaller pulses are used to temporarily stop a Ryougan’s power more(2 posts cycles depending on how much energy Kai puts into his blast). Keep in mind that even though both are more specific for a certain task, it doesn’t mean that the other effect is mute. Damage wise, the pulse doesn’t do any damage, it just feels like a strong gust of wind. Shooting energy pulses in the water can also allow him to propel himself at a sufficient speed .The electricity he cancels out can only effects electrical wires and electrical appliance. Basically, any non-biological electrical conductors. One can easily spot this ability by the multiple blue ring shaped like a tunnel shooting at them.The distance the Pulse can reach depends on how much energy he puts into it and in what manner he is using the pulse. The distance of a radial pulse is usually a 10 yard. The distance for the non-radial pulse, the distance also varies on the energy. But, it usually travels 15 yards on average. For a point blank shot it effect is heavily intensified. (3 posts or if Kai is holding onto his enemy until he let go). When a person affected by an energy pulse, their body is temporarily immune to it this skill (one full post cycle).

Sonar/Echo Pulse – Kai can mental send pulse waves from his mind allowing him to know everything that goes on around him without looking. Sonar pulse works exceptionally well in water, as the pulse can reach at high distances allowing him to be at his peak when trying to sense things in the water.Pulse fluctuation varies how much energy he puts into this ability and the situation. normally, when he's not concentrating the pulse shoots out every 2 seconds. But in battle his fluctuations increase,half a second, allowing him to see much clearer. (kind of like an adrenaline rush)

Pulse Strike – Kai can send small pulse waves into an object and in doing so cause it to shatter apart. When it comes to fighting an opponent, it causes a jolt of pain with every strike. The amount of damage also varies on the amount of energy he puts into the strike. For a major strike it requires him to stand still and focus his energy. (usually a one reply wait)

Note: If Kai runs out of energy it would cause his body to tire out to the point he can barely move.


Weakness(es):
Energy Pulse – This ability can easily be dodged by hiding behind another object. It also lacks any real damage output.
Sonar Pulse – Even though this ability allows him to “sense” things around him, he cannot determine their color or detailed appearances like faces(exception of being underwater). Also, the range of the pulse is only about half a mile. Ground wise, but around a few miles range in the air. Even though this range is quite far, he has to perception of anything off in the distance, or to high in the air. Also, his range of site varies on what is around him also. For example, if he was in a tunnel the echo would bounce all over the cavern making him see much easier. While if he was in the forest the waves gets bounced all over in an non-concentrated way making his site in these types of areas bad.
Pulse Strike – Pulse Strike takes a lot of energy if not maintained properly. Over use of this ability can tire him out quickly.

Personal Strength(s):
Kai is quite skilled in hand to hand combat even without his powers, his ability to fight hand to hand can be deadly.
His ability to obverse the situation and stay calm in battle.
Kai is know to have an unreadable poker face
He also has quite a high endurance.

I Wanna Know More!

Personality:
Despite Kai allegiance, Kai is quite gentle. He acts more as a response or reaction fighter then an aggressive one. In Fact, he prefers not to go out of his way to pick a fight, unless it’s an order. For example, he wouldn’t be the one who causes fights, but the one that fights back if an injustice is done to his kind. He almost never lets his morals cloud his logical judgment. If he was ordered by authorities to do something, it will be done for the most part. There are a few exceptions to this rule, he does do something’s that are “illogical” from time to time but even this is quite rare. Ironical, Kai has a significant amount of respect towards humans. When fighting he wouldn’t go soft on humans. He believes the one must respect them enough to fight a human as any other Ryougan.

Besides fighting, Kai tends to be calm for the most part. In fact, he is beyond the normal dose of calm. Some think he is a robot at times for his lack of emotion, obedience to the higher ups, and harsh use of words. Despite all these traits, he still has a disliking towards violence and destruction. He also lacks any real emotions that would place him under kind or caring. He speaks as if everything is strictly business. Despite all of his non-violent traits, one might wonder what is he doing on the Serpente side? For one thing, Kai believed that the Aquila is too soft. Just to accept being treated badly is not the right solution. Another is because he owed the Serpente (see history).

Lastly, Kai wasn’t always abnormally calm, obedient, and unemotional. Before that “event” (see history) he was a kind and laid back. He would enjoy hanging out with friends and stood up for his belief. That humans and Ryougan were equals. He would be the go to guy for any advice if needed. He would always check up on friends if they seemed down or something bad happened to them. Above, all he use to love everything around him. Not the “love” love, but the loves as in being kind to people that don’t deserve it, seeing the bright side in things, and caring for nature. Every now and then a person would get a small glance of this trait. But, besides that, this personality is no longer existing…or suppressed.

He also gets jealous of others quite often. Mostly towards people who can see since Kai is blind. Also, to the people that are laid back, fun loving, and above all cheery.

History:
Kaiwas born and raised in Verada by both his mother and father. As he grew up he went to school and played with the other kids like any other normal boy, unknown to others that he was far from normal. He had friends, family, and a special someone in his life. Life was going good for him during his younger ages. His family taught him how to use his ability and how to keep them a secret from the humans. He was taught to treat humans equally and show love and compassion to everyone even those that don’t deserve it. When he was old enough he even had a girlfriend as well, they both loved each other a lot. Life was going pretty good for Kai; until the political turmoil began to build.

Pretty soon his friends and his girlfriend joined a group that was made to exterminate Ryougan, unknowing that Kai himself was a Ryougan. When news of this reached Kai, he was outraged at their decision and pleaded them to stop the insanity. But, it didn’t work. Instead they accused him of being a Ryougan lover. It was then, he severed ties with them even if his parents warned him not to give up on his friends. His parents told him that he was giving up to easily on them.

It was only time that they figured out who he and his family really was. It wasn’t that hard really, his family’s neighbors rated out on them. His father began to feel uncomfortable with the growing tensions in the neighborhood between them and the other neighbors so in the dead of night his family tried to sneak out. But, they were found and killed by the neighbors.

One thing Kai didn’t understand to this day, was why his parents didn’t use their ability to defend themselves. They just took the blows and died that night. Kai on the other hand was given “mercy” that night. They stabbed his eyes that night, which is why to this day he is blind. This “event” was his turning point. His neighbors were going to go further and were planning on cutting his tongue out muting him, but the Serpente saved him from this fate. A healer from the Serpente was able to heal his eyes but they have lost their function. Now he serves under the Serpente with obedience.

I haven't touched a profile in who knows how long... XD

Powers:

Energy Pulse - Instead of real-time numbers (minutes, seconds, etc), give me approximate post lengths; this makes the ability more RP-friendly. Also, while I'm thinking about it, you forgot to give a length of time/post for a point-blank shot at a Ryougan with this ability.

Sonar/Echo Pulse - You should note that his range is limited when he's surrounded or in a crowded area. I mean, sonar only works because you get the signal back; you'll know where everything in a field is, but in a forest, your knowledge is limited by the trees around you o.o

I don't see anything else to poke at, so just modify and post when you're done/ready to argue. XD

[Kai Shi]

Ok, fixed. ;D

[Giovanna Azzari]

ehh... I'm slow at responding. A habit I'm trying to break. .__.;
And sorry for not finishing in the c-box... *blames youtube and Nyquil*

Anywho, the distance you've chosen are long, but my main concern is a waiting period between each usage. This is a strong ability with an even longer reach, so all I ask is that you wait an extra post in between using his energy pulse. So you use his energy pulse, and for one post of their's you have to wait two; two posts of theirs mean you have to wait three; and three posts of theirs means you have to wait four. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just that if there's no wait period then he'd be able to continuously knock out their powers.

Also, does this energy pulse effect his own powers? If not, then this extra post wait will be efficient enough to even the balance. If so, then all I ask is that he waits the same amount of posts before he can use them again, once again to keep things evened out.

Let me know if I'm not making any sense, lol. xD

Pulse Strike, you keep mentioning energy, in fact you mention it all throughout his power description. What happens when this energy runs out?

[Kai Shi]

I think I know what your saying. Well, I edited the powers again so yea. tell me if I got it right ;D

[Giovanna Azzari]

Alrighty, keep that extra post wait in mind and I'd say you're accepted. *waves Serpente flag in the air*
1/2


*licks stamp and puts it on his forehead then ships him back for Rosu to finish*
