Calypso Vael [Danava of Dreams And Nightmares] [Approved 1-5]

» Origin Name: The Intertwinement of Dreams and Nightmares

» Origin Power: Everything pertaining to the mind, it's functions, and it's emotions

» Origin Abilities:

Empathic Connection
A side effect of passively feeding off of the sensations of other's wills to sustain herself, Calypso senses the emotions of all that she comes into contact with. She has grown to a point where sensing emotions around her does not disturb her as it did when she was a child, being able to sense other’s feelings within herself, similar to how one would sense vibrations. With this method of sensing, she is capable of sensing how someone is feeling, as well as how much they are feeling it at any given time, even able to single out individual people’s emotional spectrums within a bustling crowd.

However, by focusing on a single person, she can get a far more detailed read on their emotions than if she simply passively felt it, getting a better idea of their current state. Like peering deeply into one soul, she can get a better read on these emotions, why they may be happening, and otherwise to help understand the individual all the better.

Fog of Terror
Spreading her energy out as a dense fog in a radius around her, all who inhale it will experience symptoms of panic and paranoia. They will find themselves feeling anxious, distracted by slight noises, irrationally afraid of something watching them, pretty much any nasty thing the mind can conjure under the effects of intense panic, proving to be an effective way to disorientate a large amount of enemies, however this ability does not discriminate and thus will affect allies as well if there is no adequate measures to protect them in place first.

The more breaths taken within this fog (increasing in potency post by post), the more intense the symptoms become. However, those of a willpower level of Advanced or greater can push through the effects, or even not be affected by it.

Two posts worth of time not inhaling the fog will neutralize it’s effects.

Wrath of the Beast
As Calypso is a rather powerful demon who is deeply intimate with the usage of her own energies for the use of combat, creating blasts of energy is no sweat for her. Similar to (Perhaps even inspired by) a hollow’s offensive capabilities, Calypso has several methods in which she can use her energies in order to deal devastating damage to her foes.

One way is simply to condense a lot of her energies into a point of focus, a hand for example, and then letting loose a destructive blast in a straight line before her.

Another way is to instead concentrate these energies with high focus, packing them together into a small ball and throwing it, instead acting as a violent explosive to whatever she throws it at.

When loosed immediately, these have the capability of leveling a building or decimating a street, being capable of creating a lot of smaller, yet faster results in damage. However if Calypso manages to hold it longer, it will increase in power, capable of dealing far more damage, scaled with her power tier, however she must be charging for at least a post to increase the damage output.

For the charged variation of this ability comes another effect. Due to the nature of her energy, those with Adept willpower or weaker will experience a sort of deer-in-headlights phenomenon when looking at the blast, becoming frozen in place, entranced by the glow.

Shards of Agony
At will, Calypso can form crystal-like structures from her energies. Best put, these crystals are formed from her own sensations of pain and agony. Despite looking like solid crystal, in reality they are structures made of thousands of needle-like forms, forming together into a form she wishes, be it crystalline blades, or additions to her own body. Due to being created by sensation manifested from her self, they will not harm her.

Though due to the manner of their construction, the actual crystals are not very strong, and are rather brittle and capable of shattering, so application as a melee weapon isn’t very effective. However, the plus to this is that the tiny fiber-like structures are extremely sharp, and when shattered they will fly to embed themselves into anything with incredibly sharp needles, their physical form fading not long after inflicting harm on their target.

Essence of the Beyond
The blood of Calypso is not exactly blood. In reality, the networking of the brilliant blue fluid that flows throughout her body is pure, raw emotion that she has passively fed on from other beings in order to sustain her form, running through her much like blood. However, to other beings, this essence of her’s is more akin to an incredibly strong hallucinogenic if in any way ingested.

If consumed by other creatures, makes contact with another’s wounds, or otherwise entering another being’s body, it will induce a sort of high emotional state, disturbing normal though processes and reasoning, going beyond mere intoxication in terms of it's effects on another person, in addition to other symptoms such as disorientation, disassociation, feelings of warmth, and possibly more depending on how much of her essence someone drank.

Those of higher focus and willpower could get through this state relatively undisturbed if they put their minds to it, but otherwise the consumer will just ride through these symptoms for at least an hour, or more depending on the amount consumed.

Astral Projection
A natural and essential ability of her’s, Calypso is able to manifest her will in spaces in which other's wills and emotions are present, typically to enter the space of other’s dreams in order to consume. Calypso must be asleep for this ability to work, as the easiest entry into such spaces is sleep for her. Her body whilst in this state however, does not look like how it does in the real world, instead looking like a bright, vaguely humanoid shape. If she is in another's dreamscape, she can very easily be ejected with a mere wanting for her to not be there.

In this form, she naturally feeds on the raw sensation felt within these spaces by the other wills occupying them as she exists within them. However, more personalized or deeper spaces, such as other's subconscious minds, aren't nearly as easy to access and will have greater stipulations preventing her from doing so.

Shriek of the Depths
The eyes upon Calypso’s form open to reveal they have transformed into mouths, containing what looks to be an endless dark void. By using her own voice as a catalyst for the attack, these mouths will act in tandem, releasing an energy laden shriek, acting like a sudden explosion around her. The maximum radius of this attack is determined by her tier, however within the first 10 meters or so will be the most absolutely decimated by the blast, akin to being next to a powerful bomb.

20-30 meters out is a more survivable range, however comes an additional effect - first it starts out as a simple ringing in the ears, but depending on the target’s focus, it can turn into a manner of different sounds, ranging from a light distraction to a debilitating state of something scratching at and whispering inside of your head.

Blood Angel
Blood Angel is the name that Algos gave this particular ability that came with marking her sister Algos in their love. Being that her sibling has a high volume of Algos's blood coursing through her veins, the instinct of Algos to protect and love her kin is still invested in that same blood. Ergo, from this deep sentimental meaning of wanting to possess this love for herself, the blood acts as a protective mechanism to defend Cali's body. The primary ways in which this bond is utilized are marked below as a result of Cali and Algos's interactions with one another.

Mental Foundation
Above all else, the blood of Algos is meant to be utilized as a stabilizer given Cali's unsteady grasp on her inner self. Therefore, since Algos has a more resolute will and desire for this world, she makes use of that trait by giving her a resistance against mental assaults or emotional influences. That does not mean she is immune from them, but the blood of Algos makes it immensely hard to penetrate without a high volume of focused effort. And, even with that effort, it may not have the fully intended effects before this blood reacts to whoever is stimulating this mental assault. (whether that be outright attacking, Algos showing up or whatever have you is a whole another story.)

This was done in order to protect her sister from being so emotionally and mentally fragile in Algos's mind. She did not want to see her kin broken down in the future by another creature who may be able to use these exploits against her, so she wanted to at least put some kind of security in there given the fact that she has the prowess to be able to try and prevent that outcome from happening. Thus, this is her way of protecting and providing for her younger sister as Algos's responsibility and sentiment weigh heavily in this ability. As she refuses to let her sister down no matter the cost.

Telepathic Link
There is a telepathic link between both Cali and Algos because of the bond that they share. This private communication network allows them to exchange different feelings, thoughts, and memories with each other if the other is open to sharing all that they are to one another. It is able to transcend even other worlds; provided there is nothing that is actively trying to prevent them from communicating with one another. If this connection is cut off, however, the blood will still be able to act on its own based on the deep-rooted instinct of Algos that is planted in it and will do it's best to give her or Cali the last location of either sibling so that they may track the other down if such an event occurred.

Possessive Enhancement
While the blood of Algos has bonded with Cali, it will allow for her possessive magic to become more enhanced while she is under its influence. The reason for this is because it is in demonic lore that if a demon is to ingest the organs and extract of a more powerful demon than itself that their strength can become augmented. Thus, given the fact Algos willingly allowed for herself to be devoured by Cali during the time she marked her, it stands to reason that she may have an increase in her possessive magic.

This can potentially make her magical spells/prowess doubled in strength with all of Algos's memories, instinct and sub-conscious power flowing through her body to help guide her sister toward being a proficient magic user. It should also allow her to have a faster inclination towards having a knack and grasp for magic as she trains in the future to rapidly grow this skill given most in the Asthavon family have a stronger leaning toward magical insight.

Blood Core
It will take some training to truly grasp this, but there is a core of Algos's energy that is dwelling in the depths of Cali's being. This cluster of energy has enough output of demonic power to be equivalent to a 1-3 character or so. The reason for this is because of the fact that there was such a copious amount of blood and extract that was consumed and devoured by Cali from Algos that it mutated and began to forge this deep-rooted seed of power within her being to further protect her.

The primary way this core of energy is supposed to be utilized is so that one ability/attack per turn can be used in an effort to help further enhance her strength until she is strong enough to not need the core and outgrow it. So she must manually focus on this core of blood within herself to summon forth this power and infuse it into her attacks, defenses or whatever else have you. An illustration of how this ability can be used is that she can merge this core of energy into a burst of demonic energy to try and release enough energy which can destroy a chunk of a city to protect herself.

The focal drawback with this, however, is that it will exhaust her body if abused too much. This can be shown by her feeling tired, sweaty, dizzy and otherwise strained if her body is already damaged from combat. So the side effects won't be felt if she is in 100% health and stamina; making it so that this gives her the advantage toward the beginning of any battle. As the fight progresses, this might become more daunting and tireless to wield given the fact it's a power beyond her current level of skill and ability. So, if she isn't 100% there mentally and physically, it will naturally become more unstable and unreliable to call on. So it must be wielded with caution, care, and precision.

Desire, Become Real
Realized by training performed by her elder sister, as well as the empowering consumption of her body, Calypso is capable of granting wishes. However, there are very tangible rules to this ability, the most notable being:

1) Calypso is unable to use this ability to create or destroy matter. She only can affect things that exist.
2) Calypso is unable to violate the grand laws and order with this ability. For example, she cannot wish for the vacuum of space to be hospitable or for an entire realm to vanish.
3) Calypso is unable to fundamentally change the nature of a being or object. For example, she can’t wish a character to become another race, become stronger/weaker, or wish them back to life/kill them. As for objects, she cannot wish for water to become, say, gold.
4) Calypso is unable to deal or take absolutes. (Ex. Immortality, Invulnerability, Divinity)

The usual way Calypso would be to use this ability is to spread her hand out, focus her energies, and state her wish aloud. She has to actually want what she wishes for, so if she were to be forced to wish for something terrible or against her morals, the wish will not work. She must state her wish out loud, through spoken words, or else it will not work.

The bigger the wish, the more energy of her’s it will take to accomplish it. For example, simply asking for mundane objects is not a problem at all, they simply will be retrieved and teleport to her, however if there are significant protective barriers between her and the object, as to keep it safe, it will be all the harder or even impossible for her to attain it, requiring far more time and focus to break through.

Using wishes on other lifeform’s bodies, such as to restore them, is also a tricky feat, in that she has to be very careful what she wishes for, on top of it being incredibly time consuming to use this ability to affect other creatures.

Fade
Existence, the very feeling of it, is very important to all beings. Everything feels and experiences it, and only negative feelings come about when their place in the universe is called into question, or even ignored entirely. This ability of Calypso’s fully takes that emotion, and takes it literally. Her body becomes untouchable, as if she’s become a walking ghost. While she is still able to be witnesses by beings capable of seeing spiritual entities, she cannot touch or be touched. Though she is able to control how much of her body is controlled by this ability, ordinarily it would just affect her entire body and she would go plummeting through the dirt, the only thing ensuring she didnt get stuck underground being that at the rate the return of her mass happens at just spits her out at the first contact of surface it achieves.

However, with better focus, she can make it only affect specific parts of her body, but she can’t just turn it on and off at will. This state appears to spread from her eyes first, since they are what roots her metaphysical body to the physical plane, meaning her head would be the first thing to be affected, but it wouldn’t instantaneously work on one of her arms.

On top of this, by touching someone, she is able to give them the same effects that she would fall under, however she must be touching them the entire time, or else they’ll just go back to being solid, and once again it can only spread upon them from the contact point, outwards.

Terrain Imposement

Calypso is able to endow the terrain with her energy, creating a sort of “layer” on top of a large area, the largest she could muster possibly being a mid-sized town to small city’s size at most. With this layering of her own energy’s creation, she can apply all sorts of terrain effects. Man eating plants to trip up her enemies, a spring of healing water, mushrooms that spew dizzying spores, etc. The more large and complex the terrain effects are, the faster Calypso will tire. However, despite it’s usefulness, Calypso must be touching the ground and focusing the full time she’s manipulating the terrain, or else it will dissipate.

Simple Terrain: 8-10 posts
Detailed Terrain: 5-7 posts
Complex Terrain: 3-4 posts

Energy Endowment

By placing her hands on a living organism, Calypso is able to safely give them some of her energy. Be it to aid in healing or give them a boost, she is able to seamlessly gift some of it to them. However, she has to very careful on how much she gives to any non demonic creatures, because of the possibility of it turning them into a demon, or even partially, or even birth a demonic entity within them if she were to gift too much of it.

Shape of Desires

Calypso’s body has the unique property in that it can be quite easily morphed into other shapes. Her consciousness blankets the entirety of her flesh, allowing for consistency when it comes to morphing her body for specific purposes. With her high skill in manipulation of her form, she is able to shape her body at will, capable of doing things such as sprouting additional limbs, changing existing limbs into other shapes, and more. Typically her shift in appearance is seen in both parts of her body changing depending on how she feels, to her entire appearance permanently morphing as a result of a major change in her mentality.

However, her capabilities reach into full body morphs, as well. Calypso is able to change her shape into beastly forms, however she must have a desired shape in mind to possess the characteristics of. For example, if she wishes to become small and agile, her form shapes into a creature (or a hybrid of several) she would imagine to be so, in this case a rabbit, however she wouldn’t look like or be a rabbit exactly, merely taking on the characteristics of one to fulfill the desire to be shaped that way.

However, larger forms require more energy to sustain, naturally as larger bodies need more in them to keep them going.

Possessive Infection (Energy)

A further manifestation of her ability to assimilate energies, Calypso is able to effectively take someone’s attack, bend it to her will, and use it how she wishes. This power can only affect energy-based attacks, so say a Bala was coming at her? She could stop it with her hand, convert it on the spot, and throw it right back at her opponent. As this is literally her energy infecting the foreign energy, it needs a chance to spread, meaning Calypso must be able to touch the energy long enough for her to infect it. She probably won’t be able to stop and infect, say, a massive Cero blast long enough to use it against an opponent, but she’d be able to quickly take over a Bala and use it, considering sizes and how long she could handle it for.

Possessive Infection (Mental)
An ability manifested through the sheer amount of intense emotions Calypso experienced, coupled with her stronger will in order for it to spread out and affect those around her. Be it agony, sadness, madness, or ecstacy, Calypso is able to spread her extreme emotions out in the form of a mist around her, and any who inhale it will in turn feel those same emotions. For example, if Calypso were enraged and she used this ability in a crowd, the crowd in turn will also throw into a frenzy of yelling, angered patrons. The effects of this is scaled with Calypso’s Willpower vs any around her who inhale the mist, due to it being her basically pushing others to step into her shoes. Any who are two levels below her with absolute certainty being affected by it. Lesser effects to any one under her, capable of still controlling themselves, and no effect to any above her.

If removed from the mist, the target will immediately stop feeling the extreme emotion, likely only being left with mental fatigue from experiencing such powerful sensations.

Two Of A Whole

Calypso’s eyes are the anchor for her body to be materialized within the physical plain. Her eyes contain halves of her soul, and work the best in sync when they are together. However, Calypso has learned how to literally split herself in half, safely dividing her form into two equally sized bodies, however she cannot form half of her body, the half missing an eye appearing as a shadowy purple in contrast to the rest of her. Both are still linked to each other, thus behaving in sync without too much division in ideals is possible, however both halves are represented as literal halves of her personality.

The left eyed represents the more logical side of her, and the right eyed represents the more emotionally powered side of her. Both are capable of talking independently of each other but they aren’t like two different people, they both sound just like her, just different facets.

Freudian Split

Emotion, Logic, and Empathy, all three are key parts of what makes a personality. Calypso has learned that she is able to turn off at most two facets of them within herself at once, in order to operate solely in that state of mind, or in only two thirds of said state of mind. For example, she could turn off her logic and empathy in order to fight more aggressively and without fear, or only turn off her emotion to solely think on a logical level, with some consideration for others with empathy.

Behind You

Perception is an important part of people’s lives, primarily visual perception. If you aren’t able to see something and don’t expect it, you likely wouldn’t even realize it was there. This ability is based off of that form of perception, being that Calypso is able to appear where the sensation of sight does not touch. If she were fighting one person and not another soul were around, she would be able to appear freely behind that person, for they don’t have eyes on their back. This can easily be countered by just having a buddy with you, literally growing eyes to cover any massive blindspots, and similar things. If said position is visually perceived, she cannot suddenly appear there.

Wings of Desire

Calypso sprouts wings made of pure energy, resembling that of a butterfly’s, the wings themselves extremely distracting to look at. Such wings’ manifestation allows Calypso to do one major thing; Fly. Well, not quite fly, rather, it reduces or increases gravity’s hold on Calypso, the effects dependent on her emotions and desires. If she wishes to become lighter, she will become lighter, however if she isn’t careful and has “heavy” thoughts, she could plummet, so such an ability requires focus. The wings themselves help her navigate during such states, such as not allowing her to go flying off into the atmosphere from being too light, or to control where she falls if she becomes too heavy.

It’s entirely possible for her to say, become the heaviest thing possible, however the resulting impact can and will greatly hurt her. Just because she can become heavy at will, does not mean it will protect her from fall damage alone.

Protective Will
A materialization of her will to guard herself and others, this ability takes the form of a translucent shield, strongly resembling a flower. With Calypso’s level of skill, she is able to make it any shape she desires, however the standard size of it would be enough to hide a few people behind it, she can increase it in size with focus and channelling more of her energies into it. Calypso must be focused on keeping the shield active and fed with energy, or else it will dissipate. It can withstand many attacks, however some more powerful blasts may lead to it completely shattering very quickly.

To break it...

Elite-level attack: 4-6 strikes
Advanced-level attack: 6-9 strikes
Adept-level attack: 10+ strikes
Beginner and Untrained-level attacks: Unable to break.

Enveloping Will
A more static version of Protective Will, Enveloping Will is similar in protective capabilities, however is far more geared to trapping or containing things than to be fluidly used as a shield in combat. Caly’s energies wrap around a subject, forming an incredibly sturdy bubble around them. Though difficult, someone or something stuck in this bubble can break it if enough force is applied to it (Scaling below).
The bubble also has a secondary property in that it is able to keep objects in a sort of stasis, for example, if she placed a candle inside of the bubble, the flame would still be active, yet the wax would not melt. This property does not affect organics or those of spiritual power, however.

To break it…

Elite-level attack: 5 strikes
Advanced-level attack: 7 strikes
Adept-level attack: 10+ strikes
Beginner and Untrained-level attacks: Unable to break.

Gates Of Infinity

Calypso had discovered the ability to create gates between small, large, and even entire dimensions worth of expenses. They appear to be a sort of “in between” line, seemingly based off of places where people have been or witnessed. The realm between the two points in space is dangerous to inhabit for too long, it’s a realm of nothing, timeless, spaceless. There is no air or life within it, so residing in it for long brings no good things. However, Calypso can safely store inorganic or nonsentient things within it, or even use it as a way to redirect an attack. She can only open two points at a time, one to take in, one to spit out, and she must know where she is going to place the second one in order to make it appear in that place.

Ego Release (Plot/Character Ability): This is a new ability that Calypso attained after her encounters with Liu and Nizhuan in the depths of hell. After being influenced by Liu's liberation flux ability, Ego Release had been born within the vessel of her body. It draws on the power of the subconscious mind by Calypso's own prowess of dreams, nightmares, and fantasy. The inner psyche of a person goes through so many different alterations, changes and thoughts when put under the guise of slumber that it is possible for her to bring these notions of the subconscious self to light.

With all of that said: how is it even possible for this ability to work? Well, firstly, she cannot forcibly pull this aspect of a person out. There has to be either verbal or mental consent for this prowess to properly work. When that is given, Calypso will then have to form a connection to that person through her energy being utilized as a medium to bridge the gap between her and the other person. Then, when that is done, her influence must put them to sleep, drag them into their dream world, and then the process of merging these selves can take place.

Once within the person’s mental space, a myriad of things could happen, but the end result is still the same - The culmination of whatever that person deems their darker, more unconscious feelings, be it an innher hollow, a part of themselves, or merely an unconscious self woven together due to her presence, regardless of how it manifests, it is brought to the forefront for Calypso to interact with. The inner ego and she may be able to discuss, to fight, to argue what’s happening, and if she manages to quell those inner aspects of another, she can bring the more conscious version of that person to formally meet what they could perceive as their more unfavorable self - in order for them to talk things out and help the person understand and learn of this aspect of themselves, to accept that they are a part of themselves, or to figure a way to otherwise better themselves.

When Calypso is able to sit there with the person, awaken their dream self and try to release the restricted aspects of a person's mind, she then holds the capacity to alter their ego forever and develop the character. As within her soul is a burning desire to help people. And, from this ambition did this power grow because she found this sense of betterment from the liberation of herself by Liu. Therefore, she wishes to spread this gift of inner release to the world and continue the cycle of karmic evolution for those who wish to have this awakened within themselves.

Living Conversion: As a sort of evolution within her ability to assimilate other’s energies and use them against them, not only can she take the energy for her own, but provided she didn’t wholly absorb it in the moment, she can actually create sort of temporary familiars to fight on her behalf. Whatever creature is created is one hundred percent made of whatever kind of energy attack (And it has to be energy attacks, such as Ceros or flames generated from energy) was attempting to do her harm. These familiars don’t gain any new powers or the ability to act on their own, rather being a way to effectively turn someone’s attack back onto them rather than her absorbing it.

Said familiars are formed from only 30% of the original attack's power.

Will-Leechers: An evolution of two previous abilities, Calypso can create moth-like entities to do one of two things - Steal energy, or put others to rest. The first action is done by the creatures flying over to their target, be it a person or even an object that generates energy, latching onto them and then proceeding to drink their energy in order to store it inside of themselves. The amount of energy they can hold depends on their size, being from a regular sized moth to something more comparable to a large dog in size.

They will drink until either Calypso gives the mental command to return, or they’ve had their fill. Once finished, they can either return the energy to Calypso, or just hold onto it for as long as they live. They cannot sap energy from active attacks, only from either passive attacks, or merely from an existing object or person.

As for the second use, these creatures have strange, patterned holes in their wings, and if they were to flap a certain way, it would sound like a song. If she were to form a swarm of these, they could wear a target down or even put them to sleep with their melody. How quickly the effects roll in is dependent on one’s Willpower/Determination, as exampled below:

Untrained: 1 Post
Beginner: 2 Posts
Adept: 3 Posts
Advanced: 4 Posts
Elite: 6 Posts
Does not work on Master or Grand Master

Energy Assimilation (Rewritten): Calypso doesn’t need to depend wholly on the insectoid creations to sap energy from other beings. Typically, she would do this by touching another being and retaining contact, being able to directly drink one’s energy away from their reserves, however, if she is able to hold an attack ay bay long enough, she can infect it with her energies, and effectively absorb it into her body. If she is unable to stop the attack via contact, she merely will take damage and will not be able to properly absorb it, as such an action takes intentional effort and focus.


Draconic Body:
As a part of her training with Liu and Nizhuan, Calypso needed to learn how to dip into the sinful, uglier parts of herself, and to come out the other end, knowing and understanding both her soft side, and her beastly one. Awakening to the darker parts of herself, she manifested the spirit and features of one of the most fearsome beasts borne of the imagination - the Dragon.

Much like the hide of the grand mythical creatures, Calypso’s body is capable of becoming very dragon-like at will. Her skin can quickly develop hard, black scales, increasing her durablility towards things such as physical attacks. As they are tougher than her normal skin, cutting through her flesh will be harder than normal, but not impossible, typically any noticeable difficulty appearing with non-spiritual weapons. She also gains claws and fangs that are a similar hardness, being viable tools in hand to hand combat if ever needed, as well as a dragon-like tail and horns.

Dream Realm: Dream Realm is an ability that allows Calypso to create pocket-dimensions for her dream space. These spaces are often no bigger than a few city blocks or so. Additionally, if used for combat, they are only capable of lasting for 3-5 posts before a 3-5 post cooldown. If used for non-combat/training threads, she can take the time to make them more permanent.

With that said, the spaces are often used to contain various objects, energy or to create pocket realms that have her elements of dreams infused in them. Primarily they are used for her to train herself/others in, but it can be useful for trapping various types of attacks in combat. If a person in a combat thread gets trapped within it, they can still exit the realm if they destroy it or wait for 3-5 posts for the realm to disappear.

Destruction of one of these spaces will require a level of energy mastery and output similar to or greater than Calypso's own - A skill level of Expert or greater in any race's respective energy-related mastery stat (Ex: An Iramasha's Aether Control or a Shinigami's Kido stat) is required to break the space, in a combat situation to break it before the post limit is reached.

Dream Write: This taps into Calypso's ability to use her dreams to alter reality. Dream Write is used to heal and restore a character's various mental, physical, and metaphysical injuries. Effectively, Dream Write occurs when a great deal of energy is siphoned from her inner core. When this takes place, her energy must be used as a medium to induce its effects. As, when she mentally visualizes this power, she needs to focus on a person, understand the scope of their injuries, mentally internalize her dream of helping them and infuse that will into existence to try and overwrite the injuries done to them.

Now, this has a few stipulations to it. If this is done in a combat thread? It is often limited to surface level injuries. These range from cuts, bruises, gashes and similar injuries, transferring her energy into them to replace their stamina and things like that. This is to prevent it from being too overpowered in a combat setting and she can only use this power 1-2 times per post and it must be focused on this alone; as she won't be able to use her offensive powers while it is active (but defensives are ok), as doing things such as restoring limbs or organs amidst combat would simply take too long to be reasonable or practical.

Additionally, if it comes down to deeper mental/spiritual damage, that will often require a separate thread as it takes more intense focus, development, bonding, and understanding for her power to work in this way. So this will otherwise incur deep character development because it will force the characters to understand the trauma, go over it, have them connect, and otherwise try to resolve it.

The Void (STORY/PLOT LOCATION):
A dark land, one that exists at the cusp between dreams and death, a mirror of the waking world almost exactly. Light and darkness weave and work in tandem together to craft this realm, this place existing theoretically since the dawn of consciousness. It is crafted, shaped, and borne of memories. Sometimes, when a being dies, their memories, their self, ends up trapped in this land. The world’s time moves at a far faster rate than the waking world’s, every hour marking a year within this land of shadow. There is no food, no sun, nothing that would make the waking world enjoyable, as it is a hollow copy crafted by the collective’s memories.

Such a long stay can drive anyone mad, but many residents have learned to cope with the grinding of time on their minds. While they are just memories, they are practically the same as them in their life, as nurture plays a large part in the creation of personality and minds. Sometimes, those inched close to death, such as coma patients or those in critical condition, end up here. It’s a rare event, but such a thing can be taken advantage of by the residents if they cannot wake up quickly - Called bonding. This can cause a range of effects, only affecting the mind, be they forcibly tied to the waking person’s consciousness, or a jumble of madness driving the living to madness.

This vast realm covers entire dimensions, occupied by beings Calypso calls ‘Shadow Folk’. These beings are the memories who end up here, and live their lives out. Shadow Folk will appear as dark shadows with white glowing eyes if they are an unknown party, but those someone recognizes will merely appear as their true appearance. Even higher sentient animals appear here, looking similar to their humanoid counterparts.

-Sight Of The Depths (STORY/PLOT ABILITY): Simply put, as the Void is a place that directly mirrors the waking world, as some consequence of connecting and attuning with the realm, Calypso is able to see the Shadow Folk anytime they may be present in somewhere’s equivalent within the Nether. This doesn’t have any effect on those within the waking world, they merely are afterimages, ghosts to her. Occasionally she can even hear their woeful whispers..

-Walker Of The Depths (STORY/PLOT ABILITY): Calypso is able to return and leave the Void, however she cannot reenter unless specific conditions are met. One, she has to be somewhere where all senses are brought to a low, low point - A sensory deprivation tank is the best for this. She cannot be bothered or roused from the waking world or else she will be pulled right out, as if snapping awake from a dream. Once on the other side, there isn’t any difficulty in making her wake up - Unlike previously, she can wake herself up just fine, she just must be careful not to spend too much time in the Void, or else it will start grinding at her mind again.

The Mind - Reborn:
Her attuning with such a realm tied so deep between dreams and death, sister concepts in themselves, has caused new life and new realizations. With her unending determination, desperation, and desire to rescue those trapped within the slumbering lands of the Void, a new ability was borne within herself - The ability to pull the people trapped from there, and give them new bodies and souls.

Though their new physical beings will end up reverted to a younger age compared to before they died. The older they were, the younger they will be. The newly reborn beings will not have all their memories intact upon reawakening - a side effect of being taken unnaturally from their place by Calypso, however that doesn’t necessarily mean they are lost forever. They have vague recollections of things, people, and places, and over time with enough work and effort can end up regaining all their memories. However, if there’s too many memories to recover, like that of a several thousand or even millions of years old being, it’s possible most of them will be lost to the sands of time, forever.

Any beings reborn do not possess the same level of power or experience they did as they died - them being physically and mentally younger should be a further indication of this. Any and all of those who are reborn through this method are automatically blessed by Calypso, as her magic marks their very souls.

Disclaimers regarding the nature of this ability:

1) THIS ABILITY IS NOT REVIVAL. The characters pulled from the Nether are the cumulative memories/personality of that person who has died and have become trapped within that realm. Once they are pulled out, the memories are tied to a completely new body and new soul by Calypso's magic. Meaning, apart from possessing memories of their past life, they are practically physically and spiritually set back to square one in terms of prowess and potential. In addition, due to this being an entirely new form for them, it's possible they may not even have the same exact abilities they possessed when they were alive, or even end up with a completely different powerset.

2) Any player-made characters cannot just be resurrected willy nilly - I would have to gain permission from the RPer to do such a thing, and it has to make actual IC sense for that person to be resurrected.

Blessing Of The Primal Soul:
The lessons instilled into her mind by Pharsita have finally taken shape, and form. The desire to aid in others become their truest selves has evolved into a blessing, one that Calypso is able to bestow upon other beings. Given her power and reach, it is no surprise such a desire has been made real. This ability was birthed when she wished to give her companions within a land of shadow a better life, a chance to see the light, setting off a chain of reactions that defied the laws themselves.

This blessing can only be given to those who Caly believes in, she must believe there is something within them that can be unearthed and cultivated, bettered into a blossoming flower. Then, the person themselves must also believe in Calypso, or else the process will simply not begin. As this is a blessing of demonic origins, the person receiving it, if not already at least part demon, will gain a demonic part to their soul, as this blessing runs that deep.

Once blessed, the individual’s appearance changes, either minorly or majorly, but always will form some form of primal, animalistic aspect to their physical appearance. This blessing forms around the potential of another being, in order to help them grow and change, presenting their true selves in a very literal way - through that of a beast’s shape. To accept yourself, you must accept the ugly along with the beautiful, and such a concept comes to life with gifting the blessed the ability to change into a representation of their truest, primal selves.

Along with such an ability to shift, they may also gain boosts to their own innate abilities, or completely new ones derived from their very nature, be it personality or concept. The more one grows and embraces their truest self, the more control over their blessed abilities they have, the more comfortable they feel in their shifted form.

It is impossible for any being to receive more than one blessing - It marks the soul and can only do such a thing once.



» Conceptual World: Calypso's Conceptual World is an evershifting plane, often highly sensitive to her mental and emotional state. It has no one single appearance, and can shift rather easily.

» Rilīja Attributes: (What is Rilija? Rilīja takes assocations that your character's Conceptual World has, and releases them to the outside world. An example of this would be if someone who had the concept of "Water" as their Origin Power and summoned immense tidal waves onto the the field with. Another would be if someone had a "Rock" based origin could summon things like massive boulders or massive pieces of Earth at their opponent. These are optional and you can remove them if you cannot think of anything.)

» Eternal Partner Name: (Please put your eternal Partners name here. Usually, it'll most likely be related to their origin based power. So if one had a fire based Danava? Then it could be something like this: "Kasai Seishin", which means Fire Spirit in Japanese.)

» Eternal Partner Appearance: (What does your Eternal Partner look like? You may use a picture or write it out. It can be related to their Origin Power, but sometimes it may not.)

» Eternal Partner Personality: (How does your Eternal Partner act? This can sometimes be heavily related to their origin based powers. So if there were to be a fire based Danava? Chances are that their Eternal Partner would most likely be some sort of fiery persona; being hot-headed, irritable and a quick thinker.)

» Eternal Partner Powers: (Does your Eternal Partner have their own set of powers, any unqiue powers or do they simply share the same powers as their Danava Master? Please state so here. If they share the same? You can simply leave a note or remove this section altogether.)



» Atma Vatou Name: Staff of Duality

» Atma Vatou Appearance: (What does your Atma Vatou look like?)

» Atma Vatou Abilities:

This weapon created amidst the training in hell she received from Liu is a powerful one, as it represents the full realization and manifesting of both her concepts into one weapon, tasked to work together in order to survive and thrive. The weapon is a literal extension of Calypso herself, and thus it doesn’t operate like a typical weapon - She can abruptly change it’s shape and path of directory, call it back to her hand immediately, and wield it as if it were a part of her own body. Calypso is the only one who is capable of touching or wielding this weapon, as it is a manifestation of metaphysical concepts - It would just pass through the hands of anyone else who would attempt to wield it.

This weapon has three distinct forms, all of which have their own abilities, being the following:

Dream State: This state of the staff is the most naturally inclined to her and as such is used as a focus point and amplifier for Calypso’s magic abilities. For example, if she wished to use her ability Shards Of Agony, rather than forming crystal-like appendages, the crystallization of her energies occurs at rapid real time around the top of the staff, and once swung would release a rapid barrage of focused needle-like crystals at an opponent. However, she would sacrifice the sheer amount of crystals the traditional use of the ability would create for more a smaller, more potent, focused and easier to conduct version of the ability. While this same manner of effect wouldn’t ring true for each and every ability, the main idea is for Calypso to have much better control over the ability, as well as higher potency as a result, using the staff as a focus point, rather than using it how she typically would.

Nightmare State: This version of the staff morphs it into the weapon that the feared Demon Queen, Mana, typically wields - A scythe. However rather than being a cut and dry scythe, the weapon’s blades are instead made of malleable purple energies that can be grown, shrunk, or increase in number at will (As in, the actual number of blades manifesting upon the single weapon. Ex: Can shape itself to become a full double-sided scythe), as well as the shape of the staff. Regardless of size, the scythe is a potentially deadly weapon, capable of causing serious damage in direct combat situations, being scaled to her skill in the demonic magics.

Now, Calypso cannot cycle between these states endlessly. The default state of this staff is always the Dream form, and thus will always start on it. The initial switch can happen instantaneously, but she is unable to switch back as quickly, typically taking a post to cool down before she can switch again.



» Note: THIS PART OF THE DANAVA REQUIRES YOU LOOK AT THEIR RELEASE FORMS IN THEIR RACIAL THREAD! Therefore, if you have a Danava that has a Saca Atmā (Constant Release)? Then simply remove all of the below and state their Saca Atma or leave a note. Also, remove this note upon completion of the app.

» Aliṅgana State Appearance:

» Aliṅgana State Powers:

» Aliṅgana State Abilities:
Hell's Influence: These are upgrades given to her by Nizhuan and Liu from their training. From pouring their hellish energies into Calypso's body, as well as bonding with and being the catalyst of awakening this state, her basic abilities would reflect this hellish bond, in all of their combined desire to see the demon grow in strength and power. As a consequence, it is possible for Calypso to use the following abilities gained from Nizhuan and Liu's influence in this form:

Familiars Of Sin: This is just an NPC based ability. Essentially, Calypso can call upon different bodies of sinners or creatures of hell with the approval of Liu/Nizhuan. For the most part, she can summon various types of hordes of low tier sinners, different types of demonic familiars, and so on that are around the 4 tier level, the masses being low to mid 5 tier. At most, she can only summon one-hundred 4 tier creatures, and nine-hundred 5 tiers. This can lead to more powerful familiars, but those would still have to have an NPC based profile made.

Hell Bond: It is possible for Calypso to remain in contact with both Liu and Nizhuan at any moment if she should request a private channel of thought with them. This is important because if they are able to fixate on her location, it is possible for them to summon and produce different types of equipment, attacks, or supplies to her. This will require energy on their part, but if the circumstance is dire, they will be willing to assist with her through this bond. This should only be used if Calypso is in grave danger and is more of a form of assistance than an outright ability.

Hades Summon: Hades Summon is the capacity for Calypso to summon up different portions of hell into the thread. This can be useful because it can have different types of weapons, equipment, or familiars for her to use. Additionally, the miasma of hell can sicken or weaken other characters as it can make it harder for them to endure the toxifying effects of hell. Though, it can be mitigated by characters if they are able to form some type of shield or barrier around it or be made into neutral effects if some type of purifying agent is summoned. Granted, if Calypso's energy is more potent at the time, it may overpower that.

The area of effect for this ability is limited to half the size of a town given the scale of her current tier. However, it is recommended to only do a few city blocks at a time in most circumstances. Additionally, it has a time limit of only five posts or so before a four post cooldown is given before it can be summoned again. This is because of the fact that it can be used as an enhancement to a degree for herself and other demons in the area if she desires. It is capable of boosting another character's capacity by 1.5x times when it comes to their will, strength, and abilities, so it needs a limit.

Hell Aura: Hell Aura acts more like an exoskeletal force and is an extension of both Hell and Liu's influence over Calypso. Essentially, Cali can tap into this power at will and summon a scarlet aura around herself. From there, different types of appendages, tendrils, and hell-infused abilities can be made from it. For example, if she were to fire off a magic-based spell, she could incorporate elements of hell to either enhance the potency of the attack, potentially infuse elements of Liu/Nizhuan's restrictive/liberating power or use the tainting power of hell to corrupt and infuse the opponent with various elements of its negativism. So, with that said, there are a variety of ways to use this ability.

With that said, this ability has no set time limit, but it will take a physical/mental strain because of the focus that is needed in order to channel its effects. So whatever actions are taken while Hell's Aura is active will drain various levels of physical/energized strength based on how complex or immense the attacks launched from Calypso in this state are. Furthermore, she is limited to only using one or two attacks from Hell Aura per post in order to further limit it. And, if her health dips to 1/4 of her energy, it will stop working since there won't be enough energy to stimulate its effects.

» Unnata Release Appearance: (What does your Danava Demon look like when in Unnata Release? If one were the origin of fire? They'd most likely have their entire body engulfed in flames in order to become the embodiment of this element; perfecting this origin further then in it's previous state while in their former release state. Another example: If one represented a past filled with pain? Then in this transformation, they'd most likely be covered in head to toe in blood, eyes turned red with agony and body covered in physical scars from all the mental pain racing to the surface in order to display just the type of horror they've had to endure in their life. Pictures are also accepted.)

» Unnata Release Powers: (What sort of powers does your Danava Demon advance in while in Unnata? The primary focus in this transformed state is to ultimately, as the title says, advance. This means that most Danava can further develop, strengthen or otherwise evolve their powers. However, it is possible to gain new powers that are related to your origin while in this form. It's just very dependent on it being associated in someway with your Danava's Origin. )

» Unnata Release Abilities: (What sort of abilities or techniques does your Danava Demon have while in Unnata Release? This is the same as Origin State Abilities and Aliṅgana State Abilities. Meaning, that these will be related to whatever powers you advance or gain in Alingana.)

» Phyuja Rājya Appearance: (What does your Danava Demon look like in their fused state? Typically, they'll more often then not look like a fusion between their elements. So, if one were a Fire and Water Danava? Their appearance could take the shape of fire that appears to be liquid, as a half-baked example. Pictures are accepted as well.)

» Phyuja Rājya Powers: (What sort of powers does your Danava Gain while in Phyuja Rājya? Please note that their typically related to their secondary and tertiary Origins. So this is where you are able to use more of your Multi-Origins with ease. It's also possible to take concepts, origins and elements to fuse them into a new power. Such as taking a Solar Origin and a Lunar Origin to gain some sort of Twilight Power.)

» Phyuja Rājya Abilities: (What Abilities does your character have in Phyuja Rājya? These are very related to whatever powers you got from your fused state.)

» Caṛhā Saṅgalita Appearance: (What does your character look like in their Caṛhā Saṅgalita Release? In some cases, you may not even need a change in appearance.)
