Learning as a gradual process
last edited by Rogan
Level 21 and Lyntael is all caught up after the rework now. With recent upgrades raising the limitations on her and allowing her to expand into the power her body has been developing, many of her signatures are getting a slight rework to reflect this.
Lyntael's Buster is 5/4/4 now: (30x4/240/480)
Half-Charge Strike: Expend, +3
Full-Charge Strike: Expend, +6
Lyntael's capacity for managing her charge continues to grow, and she can now handle significantly more energy than she could before – enough to incinerate all but the sturdiest of threats, if she puts all of her effort into it. The resultant strikes have an increased effect on agitating her charge and draining her, but she is gradually growing accustomed to handling this.
For book-keeping:
ShotBase deals 45 damage for 40 sig points
ChargeBase deals 180 damage for 160 sig points
SpectralBase deals 65 damage for 60 sig points
SupportBase heals 18 for 20 sig points.
My Pain is Real
Multi-Stage: (On Set: Self-Slow2), Counter(On Hit): ShotBase(45), Elec, Knockback, Nova3, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +1 on Set, +2 on Trigger
Cost: 150 (30 Nerf, 120 Sig Pool), 30 Nerf off Cooldown, 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 120)
Description:
The reactive shock-wave of electricity that occurs when Lyntael is struck or injured, shedding sparks in a small nova around her. While this was initially an effect that occurred purely by instinct, Lyntael herself has developed a moderate understanding of the feeling and can often prepare herself for the response in advance now, and can sometimes suppress it if she needs to, though doing so is very straining on her. When primed, lightning effects are often visible beneath her skin, and the sensation of the pending burst is a numbing distraction to Lyntael still.
And Lingers After
Multi-Stage: (On Set: Self-Slow1), Counter(On Hit): ShotBase(45) Elec, Nova2, 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +1 On Set, +1 On Trigger
Cost: 80 (25 Nerf, 55 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 55)
Description:
Each time Lyntael is struck or hurt her body reacts, though the first response is by far the strongest. The following aftershocks, from successive attacks and as she continues to suffer blows, have less impact and while the second recoil will still have some kick, by the third or fourth they won't generate enough electricity on their own to do any substantial harm – at least, not until her charge cycles again to deliver a fresh burst.
My Heart Falters
80Elec Barrier, Buster Charge, Off-Target1, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-off, Overcharge -2 on Activation
Cost: 120 (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description:
Lyntael's first and most prominent innate reflex, born her fear of harm and desperation for safety. Lyntael has grown adept at using this ability, and can generally summon the static barrier at will, even beyond her own instinctive reactions. She can now evoke a fairly strong defensive shell that interacts with her strikers to balance out her charge and keep her stable, to some extent.
And Beats Anew
40Elec Barrier, Buster Charge, Off-Target1, 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-off, Overcharge -1 on Activation
Cost: 80 (25 Nerf, 55 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 55)
Description:
As the ability that Lyntael is most adept at using, in difficult or panicked situations she can often recall the static shell, albeit slightly weaker than usual, even before the normal amount of energy it takes has fully rebuilt itself.
My Fear Rejected
ShotBase(45) Elec, Knockback, Spread2, Break, Shot-Type, Charge Burner1, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +3 on Activation
Cost: 120 (30 Nerf, 90 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 90)
Description:
A physically damaging reaction that carries as much raw, disruptive force as it does raw electrical energy, compared to other expressions of her power. This started as a effect born of a conflicted girl's fears about hurting those around her, and about her own powers against her desires for closeness, and her need to stop those that would hurt her from doing so. Now this ability has grown into something more, every bit as sure and potent as her other responses to danger; it has grown through a Lyntael that is tired of being afraid, and is more ready to fight for her right not to be, in a way that previously she wasn't.
My Thoughts Collected
ShotBase(45) Elec, Knockback, Spread2, Impact, Shot-Type, Charge Burner1, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +3 on Activation
Cost: 120 (30 Nerf, 90 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 90)
Description:
A concussive variant of Lyntael's electrical expression, and the matched pair to her physically disruptive reaction. Two halves of a single origin point, this ability has also grown to match the degree of force that her other abilities show, without losing any of its concussive, field-scattering diffusion. More ready to fight now, Lyntael no longer feels the same overwhelming trepidation and fear that she once did, in dangerous situations, and is able to present a more collected, competent front to the foes that threaten her.
My Anger Directed
Take Aim, ChargeBase(180) Elec, Knockback, Break, Impact, Slashing Shot-type, Charge-Burner 2, 6CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +6 on Activation
Cost: 220 (70 Nerf, 150 Sig Pool), 6TCD (Sig Pool Used: 150)
Description:
Much to her surprise, Lyntael has found that she can now generate, in single bursting expenditures and more or less with every beat and cycle of her charge, a level of raw electrical force that was previously the purview of this ultimate expression of her power alone. Nevertheless, this effect remains one of the most destructive expressions of her power, thanks to the bolt's concentrated ability to scythe through almost anything it comes into contact with. The sheer spectacle of the expenditure also puts most of her other abilities to shame. Driven by anger, indignation and combative feelings, Lyntael has previously struggled to evoke this effect when she wants or needs to, however she has recently found tapping into the impulses needed much easier. The beam's effect on her is still extremely draining, and will spike her overcharge sharply, and still requires Lyntael to be substantially overcharged to begin with, but these thresholds are more readily attainable for her now than they once were.
As I Look To The Sky
ShotBase(45) Elec Knockback, Nova4, Homing, Shot-type, Charge-Burner 2, 6CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +6 on Activation
Cost: 240 (80 Nerf, 160 Sig Pool), 6TCD (Sig Pool Used: 160)
Description:
A broad, far-reaching explosion of electrical energy that has previously occurred only when Lyntael has been pushed to her limits and can neither control nor safely expend the mass over excess charge overwhelming her body. This expression of her power is wild and unpredictable, sending arcing bolts of lighting in every direction, uncaring for friend or foe as they seek out targets to ground themselves on. Most of the actual energy expended with this ability is lost to the air, and it is terribly inefficient in that sense; it is the last resort of a charge that she can neither control nor contain. While it is still only likely to occur on its own when she is in the throes of an extreme overcharge, the Lyntael of today feels more willing to call up and evoke bursts like this, if facing beings she feels deserve it.
A Manifest Spirit
Multi-Stage: (First: (15Elec, Nova2, A)), Then: (Time Delayed (15Elec, Nova2, Per Turn, for 3 additional turns)), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-off, Overcharge -1 per pulse
Cost: 120, 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 120)
Description:
The stabilising fall-off of electrical energy that begins to pulse out from Lyntael regularly whenever her charge rises above its normal resting beat. The small cascade of sparks is very mild, compared to other expressions of her power, primarily because Lyntael herself has unwittingly stymied its growth with her repeated efforts to suppress and hold back the pulse whenever she is around friends or other people she might risk hurting. As a result, her ability to self-stabilise her charge through this pulsing has not kept up with the rate at which she will usually build charge in dangerous situations. Recent examinations and insights from friends have taught her that focusing on her ability to work with such factors, rather than against them, will help her in the long run, and Lyntael feels more willing to embrace the effect now than she once was.

Lyntael recently went through a terrible event, and though she has no memory of what happened then, the Lyntael that moves forward now is not quite the same person as the girl who went to that facility and was taken by darkness.
She has been finding out who she is anew; the same as she's always been, or so she feels, yet not quite, and the looks that those she loves still give her make her feel like they're seeing someone else; a stranger; a ghost, and not understanding frustrates her.
There is anger now, where there wasn't before, and the niggling sense that something isn't right.
Level 23:
Lyntael's Buster is 5/5/5 now: (30x5/300/600)
Half-Charge Strike: Expend, +4
Full-Charge Strike: Expend, +8
ShotBase deals 50 damage for 40 sig points
ChargeBase deals 200 damage for 160 sig points
SpectralBase deals 75 damage for 60 sig points
SupportBase heals 20 for 20 sig points.
Lyntael embraces her charge more than ever now, accepting the pain and pushing her limits as a focus for the frustration she feels but can't place; she fights more easily, and with less fear, and is more reckless. Outside of combat where she channels these combative feelings, she is more inclined to hide her less positive emotions from people she wants to appear bright and sunny for.
Multi-Stage: (Buster Strike), then (20Elec, Nova2) 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +2
Cost: 80, 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: Lyntael is much quicker to throw herself into direct combat, and attempts to embrace the build and flow of her charge. As she attacks now, her body emanates its stability pulse more regularly, and often in tandem with her lesser expends. It isn't strong enough to mitigate the build up entirely, but it does stabilise her somewhat, producing less build-up of overcharge than the expenditure would normally generate.
Multi-Stage: (Buster Strike), then (20Elec, Nova2) 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +2
Cost: 80, 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: The aggression of a Lyntael who resents how afraid she has grown used to feeling, and who finds herself frustrated by others treating her like she's made of glass, when they didn't seem to care at all, previously. She can take care of herself; she's had to up until now, after all, hasn't she?

Description:
The focused anger that is the normal trigger for this expression of Lyntael's power is rarely too far away when she fights, these days, and she has learned to channel it more effectively and with more precision than she used to. These focused bolts of raw power retain their beam-like ability to scythe through anything they hit, and can even pierce through the initial target to carry on past them into others. Individual bursts of this beam contain less overbearing force than previous expressions of it, as Lyntael has learned to modulate her power expenditure more safely; she can build up, draw upon and express this power moire regularly now, and with less of a tax on her body than it once took.

Cost: 140 (30 Nerf 110 Sig Pool), 4TCD (Sig Pool Used: 110)
Description:
A slightly varied expression of Lyntael's most focused ability; a stronger expenditure that bursts and grounds itself through the first target it hits, rather than piercing through. These beams are the most brilliant and eye-drawing spectacles of Lyntael's expressions. They begin with built up energy in her strikers unifying in her chest, then expending outward through her wrist strikers, held forward and together. They usually take the form of arcing beams of raw lighting that illuminate the surrounding area to near blinding levels, and scatter smaller, arcing feelers of charge in many directions from the main bolt in a form of uncontrolled fall-off.

Description:
Something isn't right, and some part of Lyntael knows this, even if she cannot seem to think about it consciously. This expression is the sense of rebellion and isolation that she feels when confronted with the evidence of things she cannot recall. She is her own person; just as she's always been – isn't she? It doesn't matter what others say, or how they look at her; she shouldn't care how it feels when they look to her like they're seeing someone else. An angry hardening of the heart against a hurt she can feel, but can't find.

What matters is that we are here; surely that's what's most important. People got hurt, but she's here and she's fine now, and Rogan is here, and recovering – There is time to heal, because we are here, and we're alive. Holding onto his thought and reaffirming it as fiercely as she can is one of the way that Lyntael has found to push through the moments of difficulty, and sometimes the raging storm of her inner charge can find balance in the warm, humming glow that gives Lyntael joy and energy, and which she feels dull and dead without. Finding that sense can grant a fleeting moment of peace for the girl, even in the midst of tense conflicts.

Description: The balancing effect that Lyntael's normal defensive barrier causes has advanced further. So often triggered consistently alongside one another, the movement of charge between her strikers and across her skin happens more or less all at once now; the rejection of harm starts as a pulse that expands from her chest, equalising and stabilising the erratic currents in her body as it ripples outward. As the field crosses her strikers, it cycles that energy back to them while drawing more evenly to form the barrier itself. Her strikers diffuse the excess across her skin in the same familiar dancing pattern of light and sparks. While the retaliatory counter shock that bursts from her skin wills till agitate her charge, the overall effect is nevertheless a gradual stabilisation.

Description: A slightly varied expression of Lyntael's normal defensive retaliation. When the defence is triggered on its own, without her usual barrier, the build-up instead focuses more of her wild and excess current I her strikers, emphasising the warming glow that her charge yields, and the strength it gives, rather than the harrowing burn that it causes.

Description: Somewhere deep within the core of her heart, there is a part of Lyntael that knows that something is broken, and something is hurt, and though her inability to recall certain things, or remember important details frustrates the girl, her thoughts slip away from those places just as quickly, as this deeply rooted knowledge avoids what it cannot, must not, face. When Lyntael is pushed to her limits – as the extreme edges of stress, danger, or the burning destruction of her charge begin to break down the barriers and blocks, there remains a silent part of her that knows that these aren't blocks or restrains, but protection, and that what lies within must never be remembered or experienced again. At the limits of her charge, this feeling rebels in the most violent of ways. Outwardly, a Lyntael that is reaching her limits and losing herself to her charge may find herself paralysed by an explosion of screaming force that sends wild lighting bolts arcing out from her body in every direction with indiscriminate destruction. As well as attacking everything around her, the burst of power assaults Lyntael's connection to her PET and her operator as well, if she is connected, and can temporarily burn out Rogan's ability to assist her at all.

Frustration meets determination at a point where Lyntael questions herself and who she is. The girl she remembers being doesn't seem like her, and when the worry about which feeling is more real rises, she meets it with anger to avoid the fear that lurks behind. She might be uncertain about who she is now, but she will fight for her right to be, regardless.

Lyntael moves forward; who she is, who she was, and who she wishes to be all flow together into the steps she now takes. She is neither the girl who died, nor is she the girl who was reborn; she is both, and she is neither – She is simply Lyntael, alive in this moment, with the memory of all that came before to forge and temper her.
Who exactly that will be is yet to be seen. She doesn't truly know the answer herself, except that she loves, hurts, remembers and looks forward. She means to do her best, because that is all anyone can do, and that must be enough.

Description: I am no stranger to pain; I don't want to feel these hurts, but I will endure. I only hope that in time, others can come to regret the hurts they have caused.
A familiar reaction that occurs when Lyntael is struck or harmed. Her body bursts with static and gusts of wind attempt to repel the aggressive force from her; it's an instinct of her body and not a conscious action, but it's one she has learned to work with, and the drain on her that it causes is minimal these days.

Lyntael is prepared to hold her ground against hostile forces, evading their wrath and striking back with the ever-present pulse of her charge.

Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -2
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I understand that every conflict has many different perspectives; I've been on both sides, hated myself, pitied her and loved her; I've wanted to take her life for my own, and wanted to give mine up for her sake. If I have to fight others, I will still try to make sure I see them, even if they are not willing to see me.
Lyntael has learned a method of diffusing her charge around her body to create a refraction of light that makes her hard to see, if only temporarily. It proves to be a method of using her ramping charge without exciting it further, slowing the rate at which it rebuilds.

Description: I will fight to do what I must; no matter how it burns me, I will not relent until the need is passed.
Lyntael lashes out with a blast of her charge, expending it in a pulse of fierce electricity around her while stormy gusts force nearby targets away. Most of the weight of the charge expended is stabilised by her strikers, as long as they are in balance, so the blast only has a minor impact on increasing her charge cycle.

Lyntael takes a moment to let the stabilising pulses of her charge even out while she watches her foes and gives the conflict a chance to deescalate.

Description: I am tired of standing back, and saying “it isn't fair”. I will not be beaten down any more. Whatever power I have, I will use, to make things right.
Similar to the full-bodied expenditure of energy that once risked burning Lyntael to a cinder as it raged through her, this is a more controlled, less erratic burst of lightning that Lyntael is learning to evoke under her own will – though it still remains primarily driven by moments of fierce emotion in her. This bolt has far less raw force, but it also is substantially less demanding on her body, and while the drain still exacerbates her charge to cycle faster, Lyntael herself is much better equipped to handle the build-up now than she once was.

Description: I may not always know the right way; I will be unsure, and uncertain at times. I can keep myself safe, and I can be calm. I may not know what to do, but I will still do my best.
Lyntael's most steadfast reaction to danger, whether by instinctive reaction or by deliberate will, evoking her barrier has become almost effortless for her now. The power flows smoothly and swiftly, forming a strong shield and balancing the rest of her charge into a ready state at the same time.

Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +3
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I am here, and I am real. I am more than lines of code and data. What I am; what is me, truly me, exists beyond that, and I know that I am loved, always. Whatever happens, I know that to be true, and it will always be so. Nothing else can hurt me again, not truly.
Lyntael has fallen through the abyss of her own death, wandered that darkness and returned from it, and beside that, the hurts and conflicts of minor scuffles and attempts at injury to her body seem ephemeral and insignificant. For brief moments, when she centres herself, Lyntael can even evoke this absolute truth of her own existence, making the trivialities the current conflict unable to affect her. She still bears the scars of her past traumas, however; the slices of knives and blades are all too keen a reminder of certain dark events in her past, and will knock her out of this realised state.
My Fear Rejected, with hopeful stride

Description: I am stronger than I used to be. I let my fears control me, paralyse me; at times I despaired of ever being good enough. I reject that fear; I am not that girl any more.
Though most of Lyntael's capabilities to expend her power are focused around close proximity, the short, fast strikes she makes with these particular types of expenditures arc away from her initial target and branch towards other foes. This is a focused and directed energy burst, better at punching through solid defences.

Description: I am stronger than I used to think I was. I thought I couldn't do it; that all I could do was run and hide. I know better than that now; I am not that girl any more.
Though most of Lyntael's capabilities to expend her power are focused around close proximity, the short, fast strikes she makes with these particular types of expenditures arc away from her initial target and branch towards other foes. This is a more diffuse wave of energy, better at disrupting fields and insubstantial energy barriers.
My Anger Directed, 'gainst violent threat
ShotBase(50) Break, Impact, Slashing, Knockback, Buster Shot, Off-Target (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +6
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I don't want to fight, but I understand now that sometimes there's no other choice. Sometimes things aren't fair, and people aren't nice, and sometimes I may be the only one around to stop them from hurting others. I hate being angry; I hate how it feels... but at the very least I can direct it towards protecting others.
Once a reaction driven by uncontrolled emotions, Lyntael is better learning how to call on the raw, focused expression of her power when she needs it. Drawing the power up and releasing it under her own direction is somewhat less ravaging on her body than it has been in the past, though these controlled bursts lack some of the punch that the original blast once had, when it would tax her to her limit.
As I Look to the Sky, and my wounds bleed wet
Stage Chance (Sea; as torrential rain), 10Elec Nova4, Knockback, 15Hp Sacrifice, Recovery Time (1 Action), 4CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -4
Cost: 150 Points (50 Nerf, 100 Sig Pool), 4TCD (Sig Pool Used: 100)
Description: For every scar, and every slice, there is the wind on my skin, and the rain on my cheeks. For every trespass, trauma and violation I still feel, I can feel what it was like to find light again, after falling away into that darkness, and the sensation of understanding where my anger came from, and of letting it go. I have suffered, and some of these wounds will never go away, but I'm here, and I can breathe the air, and feel the wind and the rain. I accept it all, and it is no burden any more.
The girl that died fell into darkness and lost touch with the joyous parts of the storm that lives with in her, no more to feel the wind and the rain on her skin. The girl who was reborn knew anger and frustration, and her connection to these more comforting forces was severed. Now Lyntael reconnects, and when she pauses to breathe deeply and let herself be in the moment, these elements of her power respond freely. Wind curls about her as a familiar companion as storm clouds roll and rumble and a driving rainfall begins in response to her when she reaches out to it; she is the light in the storm, but she is the storm as well, and there is comfort in that.

Lyntael focuses on balance, stability and defence for a moment, repositioning herself and evading the assaults of her foes while her charge pulses in small stabilising ripples.
A Loving Heart, and a second chance
SupportBase(20) x4 Instances, 15Hp Sacrifice, 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -1 per instance effectively used.
Cost: 80 Points (20 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I am often alone, but I am also not, not truly. I know I must look after myself but even so I want to help others, when I can, and I know that even if they cannot be beside me in person, my friends feel the same way too. I draw strength from the bonds I share, and determination to go on, knowing that no matter where I tread, there are people who care about me, and will be happy to see me again when they can.
Lyntael steels her resolve to continue fighting and pushing on with her goals, and each beat and pulse of her charge takes on a warm glow that reassures and soothes any faltering she might feel. This is not 'healing' in the sense that most navis utilise – it doesn't close cuts or cure bruises; it more represents a bolstering of resolve and her drive to keep going, strengthening her morale, rather than her physical body.

Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -2
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I have been hurt before; I have suffered in ways that I would not wish upon anyone, and that no-one should ever feel, and lesser hams of simple cuts and bruises are really nothing next to what I've already faced. I don't want to hurt anyone; even others who would attack me – These things don't always have to end in violence. I can at least try.
Lyntael reflects on the harms she has faced, how little the nicks and scrapes of little scuffles mean by contrast, and pauses to focus her desire not to perpetuate further hurts on another over something so small. She would rather that they didn't need to fight, and will try to make space for other possibilities, if she can. She may sometimes try to get through to another hostile creature, calm them, let them know how she feels, and hope they might choose a less violent fate. She knows this will not work, with most, and accepts this, but she means to keep trying when she can.

Description: I once sought to take the life of another, to secure my own. I once sought to give my life for another, to give them the chance they deserved. I failed to do either, in the end... That wasn't who I turned out to be. I want to live, to be alive and to experience things; I will fight for that, and I will not let anyone take that right away from me... but I won't take it from anyone else either, if I can avoid it.
Lyntael focuses on shaking off any debilitation or maladies hampering her and looks to her own defences for a moment; altruism is one thing, but she will not destroy herself to make others happy, not any more.

Lyntael is in the process of sorting herself out and testing her capabilities, while Rogan upgrades his PET to accommodate his navi's gradually growing strength.
I'm intending to add the last four lines of her manta as signatures together, when I have the points for them all, so not much in the way of changes for now, but I will use this free update opportunity to fix a couple of typos and correct some minor errors to the previous registration - namely that I forgot to list many of her shotbase signatures as Elec element. Along with a couple of typos and wording adjustments, this oversight is corrected here

Description: Even if I'd rather not fight, I can still take satisfaction in pushing myself; in doing well the things that I must. I won't let myself be hurt, and I can enjoy the grace I have to achieve this, unashamed.
Lyntael focuses on balance, stability and defence for a moment, repositioning herself and evading the assaults of her foes while her charge pulses in small stabilising ripples.

Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -1 per instance effectively used.
Cost: 80 Points (20 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I am often alone, but I am also not, not truly. I know I must look after myself but even so I want to help others, when I can, and I know that even if they cannot be beside me in person, my friends feel the same way too. I draw strength from the bonds I share, and determination to go on, knowing that no matter where I tread, there are people who care about me, and will be happy to see me again when they can.
Lyntael steels her resolve to continue fighting and pushing on with her goals, and each beat and pulse of her charge takes on a warm glow that reassures and soothes any faltering she might feel. This is not 'healing' in the sense that most navis utilise – it doesn't close cuts or cure bruises; it more represents a bolstering of resolve and her drive to keep going, strengthening her morale, rather than her physical body.

Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -2
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I have been hurt before; I have suffered in ways that I would not wish upon anyone, and that no-one should ever feel, and the lesser harms of simple cuts and bruises are really nothing next to what I've already faced. I don't want to hurt anyone; even others who would attack me – These things don't always have to end in violence. I can at least try.
Lyntael reflects on the harms she has faced, how little the nicks and scrapes of smaller scuffles mean by contrast, and pauses to focus her desire not to perpetuate further hurts on another over something so small. She would rather that they didn't need to fight, and will try to make space for other possibilities, if she can. She may sometimes try to get through to another hostile creature, calm them, let them know how she feels, and hope they might choose a less violent fate. She knows this will not work with most, and accepts this, but she means to keep trying when she can.

Cost: 80 Points (20 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I once sought to take the life of another, to secure my own. I once sought to give my life for another, to give them the chance they deserved. I failed to do either, in the end... That wasn't who I turned out to be. I want to live, to be alive and to experience things; I will fight for that, and I will not let anyone take that right away from me... but I won't take it from anyone else either, if I can avoid it.
Lyntael focuses on shaking off any debilitation or maladies hampering her and looks to her own defences for a moment; altruism is one thing, but she will not destroy herself to make others happy, not any more.

I'm intending to add the last four lines of her manta as signatures together, when I have the points for them all, so not much in the way of changes for now, but I will use this free update opportunity to fix a couple of typos and correct some minor errors to the previous registration - namely that I forgot to list many of her shotbase signatures as Elec element. Along with a couple of typos and wording adjustments, this oversight is corrected here

My Pain is Real; it lingers after
Counter (On Hit): (10Elec Nova2, Knockback, Time Delay (Start of next turn): Counter (On Hit): (10Elec Nova2, Knockback)), 15Hp Sacrifice, 2CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +1 per Counter Triggered
Cost: 60 Points (20 Nerf, 40 Sig Pool), 2TCD (Sig Pool Used: 40)
Description: I am no stranger to pain; I don't want to feel these hurts, but I will endure. I only hope that in time, others can come to regret the hurts they have caused.
A familiar reaction that occurs when Lyntael is struck or harmed. Her body bursts with static and gusts of wind attempt to repel the aggressive force from her; it's an instinct of her body and not a conscious action, but it's one she has learned to work with, and the drain on her that it causes is minimal these days.
My Fear Swells, but I hold tight
Dodge, 20Elec Nova2, Knockback, Charge-Burner, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +1
Cost: 90 Points (30 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I know terror, and I know the worst suffering that one can inflict on another. My fear will never stop me from doing what I can, or from standing to face it when I must.
Lyntael is prepared to hold her ground against hostile forces, evading their wrath and striking back with the ever-present pulse of her charge.
My Vision Alters, yet I see through
Buster Charge, Dodge, Invisibility (1 Target, 1 Round), Off-Target (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -2
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I understand that every conflict has many different perspectives; I've been on both sides, hated myself, pitied her and loved her; I've wanted to take her life for my own, and wanted to give mine up for her sake. If I have to fight others, I will still try to make sure I see them, even if they are not willing to see me.
Lyntael has learned a method of diffusing her charge around her body to create a refraction of light that makes her hard to see, if only temporarily. It proves to be a method of using her ramping charge without exciting it further, slowing the rate at which it rebuilds.
My Soul Screams, and yet I fight
ShotBase(50)Elec Nova2, Knockback, Charge-Burner, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +2
Cost: 90 Points (30 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I will fight to do what I must; no matter how it burns me, I will not relent until the need is passed.
Lyntael lashes out with a blast of her charge, expending it in a pulse of fierce electricity around her while stormy gusts force nearby targets away. Most of the weight of the charge expended is stabilised by her strikers, as long as they are in balance, so the blast only has a minor impact on increasing her charge cycle.
My Faith Can Heal, with time for laughter
Buster Charge, Feint, Movement, 10Elec Nova2, Knockback, Self-Slow (1 Rank, 1 round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -2
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: For all the bad there may be, lurking in the shadows, I know that good hearts remain, and I'm sure there are more of them out there than cruel ones. I choose to believe that, and I'll take the time to give even my enemies the chance to show me I'm right, if I can.
Lyntael takes a moment to let the stabilising pulses of her charge even out while she watches her foes and gives the conflict a chance to deescalate.
My Torment Rebels; I will not break
ShotBase(50)Elec, Break, Impact, Slashing, Knockback, Charge-Burner, 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +3
Cost: 90 Points (30 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: I am tired of standing back, and saying “it isn't fair”. I will not be beaten down any more. Whatever power I have, I will use, to make things right.
Similar to the full-bodied expenditure of energy that once risked burning Lyntael to a cinder as it raged through her, this is a more controlled, less erratic burst of lightning that Lyntael is learning to evoke under her own will – though it still remains primarily driven by moments of fierce emotion in her. This bolt has far less raw force, but it also is substantially less demanding on her body, and while the drain still exacerbates her charge to cycle faster, Lyntael herself is much better equipped to handle the build-up now than she once was.
My Heart Falters, yet beats anew
Buster Charge, 80Hp Elec Barrier, Off-Target (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -3
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I may not always know the right way; I will be unsure, and uncertain at times. I can keep myself safe, and I can be calm. I may not know what to do, but I will still do my best.
Lyntael's most steadfast reaction to danger, whether by instinctive reaction or by deliberate will, evoking her barrier has become almost effortless for her now. The power flows smoothly and swiftly, forming a strong shield and balancing the rest of her charge into a ready state at the same time.
I Slip to Dreams, until I wake
Shadow (1 Target, 1 Round), 10Elec Nova4, Self-Slow (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +3
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I am here, and I am real. I am more than lines of code and data. What I am; what is me, truly me, exists beyond that, and I know that I am loved, always. Whatever happens, I know that to be true, and it will always be so. Nothing else can hurt me again, not truly.
Lyntael has fallen through the abyss of her own death, wandered that darkness and returned from it, and beside that, the hurts and conflicts of minor scuffles and attempts at injury to her body seem ephemeral and insignificant. For brief moments, when she centres herself, Lyntael can even evoke this absolute truth of her own existence, making the trivialities the current conflict unable to affect her. She still bears the scars of her past traumas, however; the slices of knives and blades are all too keen a reminder of certain dark events in her past, and will knock her out of this realised state.
My Fear Rejected, with hopeful stride
Take Aim, ShotBase(50)Elec Spread2, Break, Knockback, Self-Slow (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +4
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I am stronger than I used to be. I let my fears control me, paralyse me; at times I despaired of ever being good enough. I reject that fear; I am not that girl any more.
Though most of Lyntael's capabilities to expend her power are focused around close proximity, the short, fast strikes she makes with these particular types of expenditures arc away from her initial target and branch towards other foes. This is a focused and directed energy burst, better at punching through solid defences.
My Thoughts Collected, no more to hide
Take Aim, ShotBase(50)Elec Spread2, Impact, Knockback, Self-Slow (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +4
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I am stronger than I used to think I was. I thought I couldn't do it; that all I could do was run and hide. I know better than that now; I am not that girl any more.
Though most of Lyntael's capabilities to expend her power are focused around close proximity, the short, fast strikes she makes with these particular types of expenditures arc away from her initial target and branch towards other foes. This is a more diffuse wave of energy, better at disrupting fields and insubstantial energy barriers.
My Anger Directed, 'gainst violent threat
ShotBase(50)Elec Break, Impact, Slashing, Knockback, Buster Shot, Off-Target (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Expend, Overcharge +6
Cost: 120 Points (40 Nerf, 80 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 80)
Description: I don't want to fight, but I understand now that sometimes there's no other choice. Sometimes things aren't fair, and people aren't nice, and sometimes I may be the only one around to stop them from hurting others. I hate being angry; I hate how it feels... but at the very least I can direct it towards protecting others.
Once a reaction driven by uncontrolled emotions, Lyntael is better learning how to call on the raw, focused expression of her power when she needs it. Drawing the power up and releasing it under her own direction is somewhat less ravaging on her body than it has been in the past, though these controlled bursts lack some of the punch that the original blast once had, when it would tax her to her limit.
As I Look to the Sky, and my wounds bleed wet
Stage Chance (Sea; as torrential rain), 10Elec Nova4, Knockback, 15Hp Sacrifice, Recovery Time (1 Action), 4CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -4
Cost: 150 Points (50 Nerf, 100 Sig Pool), 4TCD (Sig Pool Used: 100)
Description: For every scar, and every slice, there is the wind on my skin, and the rain on my cheeks. For every trespass, trauma and violation I still feel, I can feel what it was like to find light again, after falling away into that darkness, and the sensation of understanding where my anger came from, and of letting it go. I have suffered, and some of these wounds will never go away, but I'm here, and I can breathe the air, and feel the wind and the rain. I accept it all, and it is no burden any more.
The girl that died fell into darkness and lost touch with the joyous parts of the storm that lives within her, no more to feel the wind and the rain on her skin. The girl who was reborn knew anger and frustration, and her connection to these more comforting forces was severed. Now Lyntael reconnects, and when she pauses to breathe deeply and let herself be in the moment, these elements of her power respond freely. Wind curls about her as a familiar companion as storm clouds roll and rumble and a driving rainfall begins in response to her when she reaches out to it; she is the light in the storm, but she is the storm as well, and there is comfort in that.
A Manifest Spirit, and eyes that dance
10Elec Nova2, Take Aim, Dodge, Movement, Off-Target (1 Rank, 1 Round), 3CD
Rp Overcharge Effect: Cool-Off, Overcharge -1
Cost: 90 Points (30 Nerf, 60 Sig Pool), 3TCD (Sig Pool Used: 60)
Description: Even if I'd rather not fight, I can still take satisfaction in pushing myself; in doing well the things that I must. I won't let myself be hurt, and I can enjoy the grace I have to achieve this, unashamed.
Lyntael focuses on balance, stability and defence for a moment, repositioning herself and evading the assaults of her foes while her charge pulses in small stabilising ripples.
