What does the mirror let Miss Roth do?

It's mostly a passive meditation aid, but it also allows her and others to physically enter her mind (which may or may not be a dimension onto itself) so she can physically beat down the personification of her rage/anger/hate so her powers don't go haywire and Trigon doesn't start the apocalypse early. Though the second reason for her going in doesn't really apply here since I'm going with post The End Raven.

And no, she can't take anything out of it. Even given the genre she lives in, I can't imagine her not exploiting the hell out of that.
 
Alrighty final sheet and the one I will submit for consideration. I must ask though, is Spartacus going to go on his one man rampage here as well?

Undying, the Almighty Dirge


Universe of Origin: Defense of the Ancients

Powers and Abilities
  • Undying Body: Undying possesses a magical undead body created from the corpses of a small army. Aside from being a decaying abomination that emanates the chilling stench of death and is by all means a blaesphemous patchwork of nature, Undying's body is exceedingly durable and regenerative. In addition, he does not rely on vital organs simply on virtue of having his life unassociated with vital organs. However his body still functions with organs and as such destroying his heart or brain is enough to incapacitate him until he regenerates. Undying's regeneration calls upon the corpses within his body to replace his own damaged parts, but the cost is significant to the point where Undying may repair himself from having half his body eradicated once before running out of mana to pull out the corpses within his mystical aberration of a body. Considering how much of a lumbering automaton like being Undying is, this regeneration is fairly weak but can easily be augmented to make Undying exceptionally difficult to kill. When estimating Undying's speed, take the example of the stereotypical zombie. An idiot like being that moans and lumbers around, but enhance its physical stats so that it's running speed is decent but it still has near no motor controls or fine coordination to reliably catch anything. Undying also feels no pain, and can be said to be a mindless berserker in battle with ultimate devotion to a few goals. He can also use corpses in his vicinity to mend his wounds, which costs nothing should there be physical corpses around. Any mystical elements tied in with these corpses also are transferred to Undying at a lesser level. Undying is noticeably uncoordinated and slow, being a lumbering mass of chaos rather than a coordinated force of power. Any servant with experience in combat should out maneuver Undying with ease. Undying has the odd ability to become compatible with any body parts and also fuse with another being's flesh should the recipient of this fusion be willing.

  • Decay: Undying's main ability which allows him to become the, unsurprisingly, undying tank his potential allows. Undying curses a five meter radius circular area in his line of sight with a sapping absorption maleficium. Those within this circle have their total health drained and transferred to Undying instead. The spell does not actually damage anyone, it merely cuts down total health available. Thus it causes zero injuries of any kind. If used on servants, it basically steals a rank of endurance and adds it on to Undying. If used on anyone else, it causes their physical bodies to become more fragile and susceptible to damage. Although Undying may start out as a rather frail being to be a tank, he very quickly ramps up to being an immense nuisance. Though Undying has little direct destructive power, his capacity to slowly whittle down his foes with nary a permanent injury characterizes his strengths.

  • Soul Rip: Using the unholy powers invested upon him by the Dead God, Undying can rip apart the life force of others and transfer it to himself or perceived allies. Soul rip is a rather mediocre ability on its own, being completely limited to melee range where Undying can rip a portion of life force from a being he strikes but is also extremely uncoordinated and slow to the point where he may very rarely actually perform this attack. Soul rip deals a D ranked amount of damage and heavily reduces the cost of regeneration or heals for the same amount of damage dealt in the case the healing is performed on someone other than Undying. Soul Rip is spammable and is active on all of Undying's physical strikes.

  • Tombstone: Using a huge amount of mana, Undying erects a massive tombstone that is a conduit for Undying's abilities and body. The tombstone itself is a perpetual motion machine of magical energy that draws out the corpses inside Undying's body and reanimates them into deathly zombies. It can also reanimate any corpses in the vicinity of the tombstone. Zombies are slightly weaker than the already pitiful dragon tooth warriors Medea possesses, but can constantly be reanimated again and again should the tombstone not be destroyed. Anything that dies around the Tombstone will have their corpses reanimated by the Tombstone and become loyal towards Undying. This even includes inorganic familiars such as Kabbalistic golems. However using the tombstone to summon zombies removes Undying's ability to regenerate from these corpses, though he can still use soul rip to heal himself or actively take a zombie and absorb it. The zombies' attacks inflict a plague that slows down and dulls the senses. In addition, the tombstone heavily amplifies Undying's abilities, particularly in regards to his soul rip. By using soul rip on the tombstone, the stone amplifies the power of the soul rip to blast out bolts of life force draining energy that appear to be ghostly green streams of lightning. The tombstone can fire off multiple soul rip bolts at once and at a significant firing rate. Using Decay on the tombstone causes a large area around the tombstone to be affected by the spell. This tombstone is usable only once, and can be destroyed by attacks meant to destroy large buildings.

  • Flesh Golem: As Undying consistently receives damage, his body begins morphing and increasing in bulk. When sufficient damage is taken, Undying automatically transforms into a putrid flesh golem. Since this transformation isn't based upon Undying's own will, it is most practical to incapacitate him before his body becomes damaged enough to gain the mass to transform. Rather than relying on pure force or destruction, mobility restrictions would best be applied towards Undying. As a flesh golem, Undying starts out around the size of of a large trailer house, but can quickly grow to the size that Spartacus grew to with his Crying Warmonger noble phantasm. Undying's regeneration has no cost but is noticeably slower than usual, discounting the bonus healing he can gain from Soul Rip and absorbing other bodies or stealing life force through his plagues. Undying can also fire his soul rip as a high speed bolt of energy similar to the variant his tombstone fires. Perhaps most deadly is the flesh golem's passive ability to generate a cursed plague around its body in a ten meter radius that takes the form of pitch black flakes that whirl around Undying in a malevolent maelstrom. Coming into contact with this plague causes an immediate sapping of health, inflicting a devastating disease that assaults the body and mind, rotting off skin, killing nerves and weakening the general body while fraying the senses and perception of those afflicted, becoming more and more effective the longer one stays in exposure to this storm of disease. Contact must be with the physical body and may also be done with inhalation. The plague also constantly weakens the resistances both magical and physical of all those afflicted, allowing for Undying's normally weak spells to slowly start dealing significant amounts of harm. The larger Undying gets, the larger the area of this storm of disease gets. Every time someone afflicted with this plague takes damage, Undying heals himself and gains mass to his body. In this state Undying's physical power is massively enhanced, but his already lackadaisical speed and dexterity become even more sluggish. If Undying is in the presence of his tombstone, The plague his golem form emits slowly increases in range to become a ravenous outreach.

Personality/Bio:
Undying, many hundreds of years ago, was the leading general within his city state's army. His original name and human life are now long erased from his memory, but he still recalls the final battle he led. With the camaraderie and full trust of all his soldiers, Undying led a sweeping charge against the foes that besieged his beloved home. With a might possibly only with sincere valor bolstered by the willingness to defend one's home, Undying and his army succeeded in assaulting back the invading force, which consisted of otherworldly beings that worshiped an extra dimensional entity known to them as the Dead God. In a twisted turn, the Dead God itself intervened in the fight, and decimated Undying's army utterly. At the slaughter's twilight, the priests of the Dead God drew their pale hands and threw all of Undying's brothers and sisters in arms into a massive pit brimming with unholy energies. Undying himself was the last to fall into this pit of decaying flesh that had once been his dearest friends. Undying welcomed death as his only comfort for his abject failure and the destructive pillaging that would subsequently follow this defeat, but even this was a luxury denied to him. The Dead God utilized its power to amalgamate all of Undying's troops and Undying himself into a single monstrous being of flesh, with the dominant personality, that being Undying, manifesting as the regulator of the body.

Undying had his mind altered by the Dead God, and came to mindlessly serve the entity as its avatar of destruction, wreaking the deadliest of pestilences among his foes and scavenging the following rotting corpses to increase his power ever so more. Yet it is said that hope never flees a man wishing, and indeed it was so for Undying. His mind was wrested away from the grip of the Dead God in a battle against the high elves of his world, wherein Undying swore to himself to topple all oppression and tyranny there was. His people had been enslaved and turned into rotting facsimiles of their former human selves, and his very own body was a concoction of enslaved souls packed into a single stolen body. With a determination driven by the depths of insanity that Undying had to endure, he became a symbol of decay, the herald of the immortal adage that no king reigns forever. For every ruler's end, the Undying would be present. For every Tyrant's toppling, the Undying came. For every instance of oppression, the Undying emerged to lend its diseased hand to aid. Now, thrust into this novel world, Undying seeks once more the only goal imprinted within its broken mind to topple oppression of all kinds. Perhaps he may even find a dutiful comrade in this endeavor that shares his own passion...

I may make a second sheet if I have time tonight. I could just grab one of the characters from Malazan. I've been meaning to write up one for Kallor, and Karsa is always fun. Though both would probably end with everything on fire.
 
As I have sorted most of my shit out, I will tentatively submit a pair of character sheets shortly. I will warn you that I spent the week bingeing Codename: KND and watched Event Horizon today. So it will probably invole both things.
 
@Wade Garrett

I added a few things on Gae Bolg that I forgot when I was writing the sheet and fixed a typo with Lancer's Agility.

If the changes aren't OK with you just say so and I'll take them out.

So @Wade Garrett any other changes I should make to Sumireko's character sheet or is it good for my alternate?

All I see from the video is that Sumi has a big purple kill sat. Are we talking building buster, city buster, microwaves everything in 13 miles...?

What I'm seeing is that now it's a homing Anti-Army spear that uses all his Prana to throw?

It was Anti-Army spear that uses (almost) all of his prana all along, I just added the "homing" part after reading the wiki page.

Other changes are that it's apparently hard to heal from even when used normally, from the same wiki page, and that it returns to his hand after use, which is from the 2015 UBW anime.

Well at best assuming that I use the power of all 7 Orbs at once it should be roughly half as powerful as an excaliblast with the power dropping depending on how many orbs I use. As for what the blast is made of it's the collective power of the urban legends the orbs have collected (which is their passive effect, gathering energy from Urban Legends. The more there are in the area and the more popular they are the quicker the orbs recharge)

All right then. You can only have one character under consideration at a time, so...Gehrman or Sumi?
 
The real difficulty for Nirvinia; coming up with attack names for stuff done in Frost Mode when there's no precedent for just ripping them from rock bands. That only happens for Pillar Men names, not their attack names.

Kids Next door and Event Horizon.

I don't see how those go together. :oops:

Well aside from Wham's divine sandstorm, I dont think any of the pillar dudes named their stuff.

Divine Sandstorm, Atmospheric Rift, Erratic Blaze King Mode, Erratic Blaze King's Giant Cartwheel Prison Mode.

From Wamuu and Esidisi(and yes, those are the actual names).

It's true that Kars doesn't name his stuff though. Probably because he has no real interest in fighting.

Currently thinking of doing something similar to Emerald Splash with the freezing blood super-bullets, but the only good name I've come up with is an obvious rip.

"Ruby Rain". :V

Personally if I manage to get in I want to see the reactions of some of the mages when they find out that I've made Apps that help with my powers.

Oh shieet true, forgot about ACDC and Wham's air blade. I was just thinking of Kars and the fact that his abilities are so one dimensional and unnamed, which probably is because he doesn't give a toot. Although aren't ACDC's stuff from the games?

I don't recall whether Kars names his stuff in the games though.

Esidisi's names probably are from All-Star Battle. Kars doesn't get any names from it though, at least not yet. Maybe in Eyes of Heaven. Probably because his supers are 'slice a lot of times' and 'turn Ultimate', which really don't deserve good names.

Really, Kars may be smart at tech, but his fighting abilities are kinda meh in comparison. When you think about it, even Santana was smarter and more reactive in how he used what he had, even if he was only limited to the most basic of pillar men abilities.

It seemed like Santana was way more versatile with just the basics than the other pillar men, even if his unlocked potential with the stone mask was abysmal. Eyes of Heaven has Stroheim in it, so I'm sure it will deliver everything that the benevolent deity of the universe would so desire.
It always struck me that Kars was like a scientist of his times more focused on magical caveman tech than actually being a part of his society or engaging in battles.

Well she is a high school girl who on limited funds and knowledge managed to create an artifact that can punch a hole in a reality marble level barrier. (Speaking of which what's your ruling on the ability to use the Occult Orbs to create pathways into or collapse reality marbles?) Even if it was technically thanks to a Lunarian plot that she managed it.
Also a facebook page isn't really that impressive since everyone and their grandmother has one.
