[IC]TotMG:V2 - Hyperdimension: Return of the Four Felons

Powder Miner · February 11, 2019

Perlita couldn’t help but wince again as CFW Judge’s hammer came down onto their android companion — that thing looked like it hurt, though whether the android girl (aw, what was the word... gynoid?) actually felt pain Perlita didn’t know. Still, she couldn’t leave her to get hit again! She might not be able to take it! ”Ah, don’t worry, I’ve got you! Crawford!” Once again, Perlita summoned her glitzy, twentieth-century-actor Persona, and this time aimed her healing magic at the one currently receiving the brunt of the beatdown from their hammer-swinging enemy.

Perlita uses Diarama on 6D, healing her for 6d4+SYN (12)+SYN (12) health!

Spoiler

Level: 5
HP: 70
Init: 1d20+9

Stats:
Constitution: 8
Dexterity: 9
Intelligence: 4
Strength: 2
Synergy: 12

Flaw: Psi Weakness: Most every Persona has a weakness, and Crawford is no exception, being weak to attacks of the Psi element -- or attacks that are close enough, thanks to a crippling fear of judgement reflecting itself within her Persona. Perlita takes double damage from mental attacks.

Actions:

Hama: Perlita summons Crawford and performs a more esoteric attack. She envelops the opponent in a glaring sphere of light containing words inscripted upon the inside, which remains for a couple of seconds, at which point the ability’s unreliable magic kicks in, either doing a great amount or not much at all. Does SYN damage, but with a 30% *2 crit chance.

Diarama (Level 6): With a flash of her glitzy Persona, Perlita casts one of her two direct healing spells, sending a burst of potent and focused healing energy to diffuse through someone’s being, which mostly just presents itself as a pink glow. Perlita heals 6d4+SYN health for a single target.
Level 2: Upgraded from 1d4+SYN to 2d4+SYN.
Level 3: Upgraded from 2d4+SYN to 3d4+SYN.
Level 4: Upgraded from 3d4+SYN to 4d4+SYN.
Level 5: Upgraded from 4d4+SYN to 5d4+SYN

Level 6: Upgraded from 5d4+SYN to 6d4+SYN

Media (Level 3): Perlita casts her other direct healing spell, which is less potent and more taxing, but heals multiple of her allies. In a lot of ways it looks similar to her other healing spell, simply causing a fainter pink glow of healing energy to surround more people, but it requires a longer exposure of her Persona and is harder to channel — she’s splitting her efforts, after all. Perlita heals SYN damage for four targets. 1 turn cooldown.
Level 2: Upgraded from two targets to three targets.
Level 3: Upgraded from three targets to four targets.
Patra (Level 2): Perlita summons Crawford and casts a spell which showers the target in bright sparkles of a turquoise color. These sparkles are the visual signs of a spell that can soothe burns, purge illnesses, and calm down unnaturally troubled minds... or maybe multiple at once.” Perlita heals all of a target’s ailments.
Level 2: Upgraded from removing one ailment from the target to removing all ailments from them.

Circulation Sash: A light blue colored sash that is worn under Perlita’s dress and as such isn’t really visible. It keeps Perlita’s circulation and movement clear and uninhibited, but only insomuch as preventing a severe shock every one in a while, after which it takes a while to realign itself. Once per plot, can be used to break a stun on Perlita.

Effort Choker: A little black and white choker which embodies focus and pushing oneself hard, letting an occasional spell be strengthened but taking some serious effort in the process. Once a plot, Perlita can add [SYN] to a single target heal or attack, but at the cost of adding 2 turns of cooldown to it.

Through the Bonds of Camaraderie (Trick): As a member of a specific group of people in Roswell with Personas, Perlita shares a unique bond with them, and pulls on ephemeral threads representing these bonds visible only to Persona-users to invoke Crawford. Turns out she can send something across this thread, too. Perlita can choose to have “once per plot” beneficial items affect Gabriel instead of herself.

DragonRage · February 11, 2019

"Elevation 20 degrees! Rotate turrets starboard eight degrees!" Iowa shouts, and the largest turrets on her rigging grind to life, swinging towards the Judge with a sort of ponderous finality. "One through four, locked and loaded. Range is danger close," The incarnate battleship raises her right arm to dramatically point her palm in the Judge's general direction, "Main battery, FIRE!"

The blast shakes the ground for a dozen meters around, rocking Iowa back on her heels as the sound and pressure wave causes the leafy branches around her to ruffle and shake. A huge cloud of dust and powder smoke seethes around her, and from the cloud four huge shells soar. Two of them are completely off-target, slamming into the ground and trees nowhere near their intended target. One whistles six feet to the left of the Judge. And the fourth slams squarely into the huge mechanical creature's chest.

(Iowa fires her 12 inch guns at the Judge, dealing 4d8 + 10 damage. If at least 5 of this damage is prevented, the shell explodes inside the target, dealing an additional 5d8 damage that ignores all damage reducing effects, but not other defensive effects. This applies the Concussion debuff whether or not the bonus damage is applied, reducing the Judge's damage dealt by 10 for 2 rounds.)

Relevant Stuff

Level: 5

HP: 126

Init: +1

Stats:

Str: 10

Dex: 1

Int: 1

Con: 12

Syn: 6

Perks:

Concussion: The 12 inch and 8 inch guns in Iowa’s primary and secondary batteries have devastating consequences for anyone in the general area of whoever she happens to be aiming at. Even if she hasn’t scored a direct hit on them, anyone damaged by Iowa’s artillery suffers from the debuff Concussion for 2 rounds. Concussion reduces damage dealt by Iowa’s unmodified strength, and does not stack with itself. Concussion cannot be applied to enemies already suffering from it. Any attack with a cooldown Iowa makes can apply Concussion (if a ship makes a melee attack, it's still going to hit hard enough for this).

Citadel Penetration (Flaw): Critical hits bypass Iowa’s armor, wreaking havoc on her machine rooms and crew. Damage from critical hits is not reduced by any effects on Iowa, and being struck by a critical hit stuns her for one round as her crew makes emergency repairs.

Actions:

Basic Block: Iowa blocks incoming fire with non-vital portions of her body, like her bow, stern, and superstructure, reducing incoming damage by 50% this round.

12 Inch Guns (Perk-Backed): Iowa deploys her primary weapons, four 12 inch guns, to blast away at her enemies. These weapons can fire armor piercing shells to inflict devastating damage upon extremely tough enemies, or blow away large groups of light enemies with high explosive shot. These weapons are extremely potent, but neither subtle nor especially dexterous. They have a maximum range of six miles, but Iowa can’t accurately hit targets more than a mile away without the assistance of a spotter. She could as a ship, but being a woman has reduced the height and thus field of view of her fighting top and rangefinders immensely.

-Level 1: When an encounter begins or this action is used, Iowa chooses to load armor piercing or high explosive shells and this action goes on cooldown. If this action has not been used yet, the cooldown is halved, rounded up. When Iowa fires, this action deals 2d8 + strength + synergy damage to target enemy. Then, if armor piercing shells were loaded and the initial damage is reduced by at least Iowa’s level, the shell explodes inside them instead of overpenetrating, dealing an additional [level]d8 damage that bypasses damage reduction but no other defensive effects. If high explosive shells were loaded, all enemies that act after Iowa take half the damage the initial target did as the shells explode on impact, dealing damage over a wider area. 5 round cooldown.

-Level 2: The base damage increases to 3d8 + strength.

-Level 3: The base damage increases to 4d8 + strength.

-Level 4: The cooldown is reduced to 4 rounds.

Ahead Full (Perk-Backed): Iowa sends orders to her engine room to disregard fuel conservation, wear, and boiler test pressure, building up steam and increasing her engine power. When not focusing on acceleration, this speed will slowly decay.

-Level 1: Iowa gains [level x2] initiative. She loses [level/2] of this bonus initiative whenever she ends a round in which this action was not used.

-Level 2: Until her next turn, Iowa gains a stack of the status condition Evasive Maneuvers. Should she be damaged while she has an Evasive Maneuver, she loses one stack of it and reduces the damage by 20% before other modifiers apply.

-Level 3: Iowa now gains two stacks of Evasive Maneuvers from this action.

Damage Control Team (2/2): Iowa lights herself a new cigarette while her damage control teams get to work curing status ailments. She can also take a slug of moonshine, motivating her crew and repairing some damage received.

-Level 1: Iowa becomes immune to status ailments until the end of the round. Status ailments currently afflicting her are removed by this effect. This action comes with two Repair Party charges, which are refreshed whenever an encounter begins. When it is used, Iowa can spend a charge to give herself the non-stacking buff Repair Party. Repair Party lasts two rounds and heals her for synergy HP per round. If Iowa has a higher-quality drink equipped as a consumable, she can expend that along with her Repair Party charge to gain additional benefits at the GM’s discretion. 4 round cooldown.

-Level 2: Repair Party now restores 1d4 + synergy HP per round.

-Level 3: Repair Party now restores 2d4 + synergy HP each round.

Lead like Roosevelt: Iowa prepares herself to act. Then, if an enemy would down an ally who moves after her, she steps in and blocks the attack with her chest, just like (she firmly believes) Teddy Roosevelt would.

-Level 1: Grants Iowa the non-stacking buff Bull Moose. If Iowa has Bull Moose and an ally who moves after her would be downed by an enemy’s attack, Iowa steps in and body blocks the attack, taking it instead. The ally who first moves after her is given priority if multiple allies would be downed by a single attack. Then this action goes on cooldown for 3 rounds.

-Level 2: The ally protected by this action is inspired both by Iowa’s courage and the chance for vengeance. While this action is on cooldown, they gain a +[level] attack damage buff against the enemy that would have downed them.

Bituminous Blast: Iowa takes a deep drag from her cigarette, burns target enemy with it, and then exhales a choking cloud of coal smoke over them, obscuring vision and possibly inducing a coughing fit.

-Level 1: Iowa burns target enemy for 1 fire damage, and then smokes them, reducing the damage of their next attack by her synergy as the dark coal smoke makes it hard to see and aim. If that enemy acts after Iowa and needs to breathe, a coughing fit is induced, reducing the damage of their next two attacks instead. Multiple clouds don’t stack with themselves.

-Level 2: The first enemy to act after the targeted enemy, if any, is also hit by the smoke.

Gunboat Diplomacy: If a battleship is getting in your face, it’s hard to focus on anything else.

-Level 1: Remove all taunts applied with this action. Then, the enemies that act closest to Iowa this round are taunted until her next turn. Both the enemy that acts soonest before Iowa and the enemy that acts soonest after are taunted. If they attack during this time, they must attack Iowa. They are not forced to attack, though. 0 round cooldown (this is important).

-Level 2: Iowa may use Gunboat Diplomacy as a free action if she gained initiative this turn. Using this action as a free action increases the cooldown by 4 rounds.

-Level 3: The cooldown is reduced to 3 rounds.

8 Inch Guns (Gear): Iowa’s secondary battery of eight 8 inch guns is designed for delivering precision damage with a good rate of fire… for naval artillery. Half of a salvo landing is considered excellent accuracy, and a volley every other round rapid firing. These guns have a maximum range of 9 miles, but Iowa can’t accurately hit targets more than a mile away without the assistance of a spotter (very short range). She could as a ship, but being a woman has reduced the height and thus field of view of her fighting top and rangefinders. Reduces initiative by 5 – strength.

-Level 1: Iowa fires a salvo of shots, 1d4 of which hit. Each hit deals [level] damage. This action always hits the enemy that acts soonest after Iowa. If no enemy acts after Iowa, she can hit the one that acts soonest before her instead. 1 round cooldown.

-Level 2: 2d4 shots now hit per salvo.

-Level 3: 3d4 shots now hit per salvo. The initiative reduction is increased to 10 – strength.

Armor Angling (Trick): By presenting her armored belt to enemies at an angle, Iowa reduces incoming damage. This trick only works if she can outmaneuver her foes.

-Level 1: Grants +2 damage reduction, but only against enemies who act after Iowa.

-Level 2: Grants +4 damage reduction, but only against enemies who act after Iowa.

-Level 3: Grants +6 damage reduction, but only against enemies who act after Iowa.

Fire Suppression System (Trick): Iowa employs her fire suppression systems to mitigate damage from being set ablaze.

-Level 1: Reduces damage from fires by 17%.

-Level 2: Reduces damage from fires by 20%.

Stats at a glance

Atton

HP: 93/93
Constitution: 9
Dexterity: 8
Intelligence: 15 (8+7)
Strength: 3
Synergy: 2

Perks:

M9 Half-track:
Atton enters combat with a Half-track that has HP equal to [Int*LVL]/2, it comes crewed as needed, and has half as many (rounded up) action slots as Atton. The Half-track can be loaded with actions or equipment from Atton or his allies(where applicable). Atton may spend his turn acting or commanding the Half-track, if the Half-track doesn’t receive orders it automatically takes the “Defend” action.
The Half-track shares the same Init as Atton, effects that modify its Init instead modify Atton’s. Actions and equipment being used by the Half-track are inaccessible until the end of combat if the Half-track is destroyed. The Half-track’s base stats are equal to Atton’s level across the board, plus any bonuses from equipment it might be using. The Half-track reappears fully repaired any time the party would get a full HP restore.

The Endless pursuit of Perfection: +1 Int per level.

Inspirational Speechwork: Richard is able to use the action “Never Give up!”

Proper Goddamn Food: The standard C and K Rations that Atton’s crew have had the displeasure of consuming for most of their military career are so fucking terrible, that the mere prospect of being able to survive long enough to return to base and eat a proper meal is enough to drive Atton and his crew to new heights. Atton's Level is considered 1.3x its normal value for the purpose of calculating everything but his AP and CT pools.

(Flaw) No Plan survives first contact with the enemy: Richard is unwilling (or more likely unable) to use any support actions in the first round of combat, this includes using his basic defense, or any action that does not involve attacking and the first support action used has an additional round of cooldown.

Half-track:
HP: 52/52

Sats: 7
Actions: Gunner, Combat Engineer, Armor Plating, .50 cal.
5 DR vs Piercing, Slashing, & Bludgeoning damage.

Loadout

Atton's Actions:
(Perk Backed) Never Give Up!: “Richard stands upon the highest platform he could find, and raises his silver sword in such a way that catches the light, golden wings appear and Richard appears to be wearing a golden horned helmet for just a few moments, this causes anyone watching to suddenly feel inspired”

Current: Heals 1d4+[Int]+[LVL] health to the entire group and removes one ailment, three round cooldown
Level 1: Heals [Int]+[LVL] health to the entire group, four round cooldown
Level 2: Healing increased to 1d4+[Int]+[LVL].
Level 3: This ability now has a three round cooldown.
Level 4: Now also removes one ailment from each ally.

Battle Plans: “Richard analyzes the current situation and formulates a cunning plan, one that is so cunning that it has recently managed to become the professor of cunning studies in Harvard”
Current: Boost the stat of choice of two targets by [LVL] for two rounds and reduces a cooldown of the targets’ choices by one, two round cooldown.
Level 1: Boost the stat of choice of one target by [LVL] for two rounds, two round cooldown.
Level 2: Increases the amount of targets by one
Level 3: Now also reduces a cooldown of the target’s choice by one.

Entrenchment: Atton orders some of his squad to quickly dig an entrenched position...complete with a bunch of sandbags to form a chest high wall.
Current: Create a trench large enough for two allies.
Level 1: An ally can choose to enter this trench as a free action, causing them to gain a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks until they perform a non ranged action.
Level 2: The entrenchment is now large enough for two allies.
(Alternatively just a 30% damage reduction against ranged attacks that lasts until the target use a non ranged action.)

Forward March!: “Richard attempts to convince a friendly target that they can, and will move faster than they usually would by using a short speech”
Current: Increase the Init of two targets by [Int]/2.
Level 1: Increase the Init of one target by [Int]/2.
Level 2: Increase the number of affected targets by one.

That, is naught but a flesh wound: “Richard converses at length about how the friendly target can power through an injury that is affecting them”
Current: Restore 1d4+[Int] HP to one target and cure one ailment.
Level 1: Restore 1d4+[Int] HP to one target.
Level 2: Now also cures one ailment.
Level 3: Increase the number of affected targets by one.

Banner of the 10th Regiment: A rather minimalistic banner depicting a symbol of a golden winged white cross and the words ‘10th Regiment’ written in stark white placed on a dark blue background that is held aloft on a sturdy metal pole. The sight of the banner flying freely (and a constant stream of motivational sayings) motivates Atton and his crew to move and act even faster.
Current: +6 Init
Level 1: Boost Init by 3 points.
Level 2: Init boost improved to +6.
Level 3: A megaphone attached to the top of the banner grants Atton an additional +3 boost to initiative....if he spends a turn to activate it that is, as he decided to place the mouthpiece at the top of the banner for some inexplicable reason.

Symbol of Lumabella x1 - A holy item in the shape of a stylized bow in a beam of sunlight. Can be activated as a free action once per battle to cause the user's ally-targeting actions to remove a single debuff from allies for the round. If said action already removes debuffs, it will instead heal them by user SYN/2.

Half-Track's actions:
.50 Cal: Atton orders the squad’s gunner to man the M2 Browning and open fire on the enemy’s position.
Level 1: Deals 2d6+[Dex] damage to one target or 1d6+[Dex]/2 to three targets, only usable when equipped by the Half-track or Atton is in a stationary defensive position (Such as the one created by his Entrenchment action), one round cooldown.

Armor Plating:
Current: +5 DR vs Piercing, Slashing, & Bludgeoning damage.
Level 1: Reduce incoming Piercing, Slashing, and Bludgeoning damage by 3 points, reduce user’s Init by 7-[Str], only usable by vehicles.
Level 2: Increase damage reduction by one point.
Craft Level 3: Synthetic adamantium has been alloyed with the pot metal armor of the Half track, allowing it to absorb kinetic energy and convert it to heat. Increases damage reduction and initiative reduction by 1.

Combat Engineer: Specialist James Doherty is an almost constantly overworked Scottish man who prides himself in his ability to allow the squad’s M9 Half Track take a bigger load of punishment than it is used to without falling apart.
Current: 4 points of repair regen each round.
Level 1: Grants 3 repair healing to the user at the start of each round while equipped.
Level 2: +1 Regen each round.

Gunner: Private Jesus Kaltenbrunner is a textbook example of how not all Germans who fought in world war 2 were evil, or misled by patriotism and promises of racial superiority into fighting for the Axis forces, as some of them were Jewish, German expatriates, immigrants, or just decided that the Axis forces could go stuff themselves. Rather unfortunately he is also a terrible shot with any non fully automatic weapon...but he is improving somewhat.
Level 1: Increase damage dealt with ranged weapons by 3.

Hold turn until after Iowa moves, and then use Battle Plans to reduce the cooldown of 12inch guns and increase her Synergy by Atton's intelligence (15) and buff Perlita's Synergy by (15).
Battle Plans: “Richard analyzes the current situation and formulates a cunning plan, one that is so cunning that it has recently managed to become the professor of cunning studies in Harvard”
Current: Boost the stat of choice of two targets by [LVL] for two rounds and reduces a cooldown of the targets’ choices by one, two round cooldown.
Level 1: Boost the stat of choice of one target by [LVL] for two rounds, two round cooldown.
Level 2: Increases the amount of targets by one
Level 3: Now also reduces a cooldown of the target’s choice by one.

"Lets see if your armor can take THIS!"
Punch wraps her hand up in what seems to be swirling green light, and a vortex of wind and dust, forming a spike over her fist,
"WIND LANCE PUNCH!"

Punch uses Color Strike on Judge. Declaring the Element "Wind" and the Physical damage type "Piercing"

Spoiler

Color Strike: The user wraps their arm in colorful energy and visual effects, before attacking. Deals Str Damage and forces the target to make a perception check. If they fail, the damage taken is elemental and they take an associated status ailment chosen by the GM. The element is determined by the user

Level 2: Damage is now STR+1d4, And the user may declare one physical damage type, in addition to the elemental damage. This does not trigger a second check, and is instead tied to the elemental check

Vortex Kick: The user jumps and spins in the air, before delivering a powerful kick to a target. The imparted kinetic and bodily energy then forces the target to spin rapidly. Deals STR+1d6 and Inflicts Dizzy for two rounds. This move has a three-round cooldown. Dizzy causes the afflicted target to have a 50% miss chance.

Phase: The user performs a combination of movements, and intent based manipulation of the energy in their body, which allows them to phase through matter. With this ability they may phase through matter up to a thickness roughly equivalent to the distance of one step.

Level 2: Choose one target, for one round the first attack they make against the user is dodged

Charge up: The user excites the energy in their body in such a way their power is magnified. Each turn spent charging up increases Str by 3, and at the end of every turn that is not spent charging, the charged strength drops by 3.

Quick Change: The user has mastered the art of changing Clothes, Tactics, and Mannerisms in the blink of an eye, allowing them to perform Quickswaps. When used, the user may swap one action or equipment, out of their loadout, and bring in something else, as a free action. Three turn cooldown.

Level 2: The user may perform a second Quickswap in addition to the first one, however, each simultaneous Quickswap increases the cooldown by one.

Roaring White Dragon’s Hidden Gem: The user unleashes a powerful special technique. Creating a large explosive orb of icy energy, and launching it at a target, before following up powerful strike of spectral claws.

Deals 4d6+strength Ice damage. If double the damage Dealt would kill the target, the damage is doubled. Once per battle

Level 2: When a target is killed by this attack an icy shard is created, which strikes a random foe for 1d6+[Str/2]

Flowing Blue Rain: The user performs a series of movements, realigning and amplifying bodily energy. All Debuffs and status ailments are purged from the user. Including those that would restrict movements, or the ability to act.

Perks

Spoiler

Fox Chimera Heart: This character has the innate ability to selectively copy Fox traits. When this character encounters any fox or fox-based creature, magical or otherwise, its powers and qualities are added to a list which this character can pull from. In order to take on these traits, they must permanently convert Craft tokens, into Fox Tokens.

Fox Tokens may be invested to realize these traits and powers as trick level abilities. These abilities cannot be upgraded by any means other then the spending of AP.

Fox tokens may be put into or removed from a fox trait at will, outside of encounters, during which Fox Tokens may only be moved around when selecting the initial load out. Some simple traits, like color, may be adapted without Fox Tokens

-------------------------------

Doppelganger: This character has the innate ability to selectively copy the traits and forms of others through disguises. They may copy the abilities and form of an ally, or enemy. An enemy must be studied before it can be copied.

An action may be spent to learn individual moves and traits in battle as a target uses them, or a captured live enemy, can be studied outside of battle to create a more complete copy. When a move or trait is learned via copying, it is added to a list this character may pull from.

In order to realize these traits This character must permanently convert AP into CP (Copy points) CP May be invested to realize the copied traits and moves as Action level Abilities. These copied actions cannot be upgraded by any means other than the spending of AP and exist at the original level of the copied action minus one (minimum one)

CP may be put into or removed from a copied trait at will, outside of encounters, during which CP may only be moved around when selecting the initial loadout. Perk backed actions cannot be copied, as they are to advanced and complex to copy unless the user is using it in the moment, instead they gain "Assist" actions. An assist action allows this character to join an ally in performing the associated perk backed action, granting a buff to that action. Some simple traits like color may be adapted without CP

--------------------------------------

MasterActor: This character may attempt to fool others in various displays of acting and trickery, through their powers and skill. This can include impersonating someone specific, taking on a more general role or disguise to blend in or get away with things they otherwise wouldn't, Or even assume the likeness of an inanimate object, to throw off pursuers.

Subject to GM fiat, 50% boost to relevant checks and/or the ability to use them where you wouldn't normally be able to.

Mira

With her bomb now in place, Mira jumps back, then raises her sword, holding it perpendicular to her head as she glared back at Judge, "Go ahead and try" she responded to his earlier statement, holding her position as she waited for him to... Well, try. At that point, a dark vortex of energy began to swirl around her arms, before quickly traveling up to her blade.

Mira uses her Lunar Stance, burning through 2 preparing to neutralize any attack Judge potentially makes on her, then deal 6d8+2d6+12 damage back.

Magra: 2/8

Mira generates an extra bit of Magra! Her next extra will come in 3 turns.

Mira's armor reduces slashing/piercing damage by 4. In addition, all damage, including slashing/piercing damage, is reduced by 1.

Mira takes 50% more damage from magic attacks.

Spoiler

HP: 90

Perks

Magra
Mira specializes in using an energy she creates inside of her called Magra, which she specifically uses for attacks. She always starts with at least 1 Magra unless specified otherwise, but can carry over Magra from a previous fight if it was higher than 1, and can have a maximum of 8 Magra. At the end of each turn, Mira gains 1 Magra.

Full Moon Arts
Mira’s personal style, the Full Moon style, specializes in using Magra for extra powerful attacks for varying situations. Specifically, this perk gives Mira access to the action “Shattered Moon: Eclipse”.

Growing Power

While Mira's prototype generator is flawed and not as powerful and others, it is still something that is growing in efficiency. Mira gains +1 SYN every level.

Rending Combination
Due to years of training and mastering of her own internal power, Mira both knows and is capable of using her talents in quick succession. Mira can use up to two separate Magra costing actions per turn, although it costs twice as much Magra if she does so.

Unstable (Flaw)
Mira is the carrier of the prototype Magra generator, which can become unstable if met with other instances of magic. Any magic attack that connects with Mira deals 50% more damage.

Actions: (8/10)

Magra Generator: Mira’s heart is a generator, one that creates energy known as Magra, which is something Mira can use as an offensive tool. Every three turns, Mira gains 1 extra Magra.

"Alert. Machine lifeform appears resistant to concussive effects." The Pod said helpfully as the Judge didn't take any visible concern at 6D's normally-stunning strike.

"You don't say?" The android girl had just enough time to move before the hammer came down - it was a glancing blow, compared to what it could have been, but a glancing blow that sent her flying into a tree. Her head snapped back with the collision in a way that would be concerning if she was human, and damage reports and error messages floated across her vision as her self repair systems kicked in to repair the damage. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be fast enough to get her back on her feet quickly.

--Stun removed--

Self-Repair Systems:

As a Defense-Type android, 6D will be taking some hits even if she manages to deflect the worst of it. As such, she has built-in self repair systems to do this. 6D heals 10% hp each round.

Lightning Speed:

Even as a defense focused android, YorHa units such as 6D are fast by nature, and mobility is a major part of combat doctrine. Every third turn, 6D may take an additional action.

Combat Preparation:

If one thing leads to more casualties than anything else, it is going into combat unprepared; 6D is not unprepared. At the beginning of combat, 6D may apply two buffs to herself before taking action.

As long as a Defense-type android stands, they will stand between the enemy and their allies. Grants the action Confrontation Protocol.

Yours Truly · February 17, 2019

Seeing as he had ample time to react to the situation, Atton elected to take out his megaphone and yell out "This is no time to rest young lady! Get back in there and show that judge just what you could do!."

That, is naught but a flesh wound on 6D, healing off her Stun and healing her by 1d4+15 damage and on Bridgett to heal her by 1d4+15 damage.

Twinwolf · February 17, 2019

For some reason, the shouting seemed to invigorate 6D. She couldn't just sit there and let him assault the team. She staggered to her feet, nodded to Atton in thanks, and dashed forward.

Induce Rage on the Judge.

Pod does 2d4 damage to the Judge.
