SO! It's been awhile since I've done this. And, since I'm terrible at actually keeping up with stories I think would be interesting to write, I'm once again saying screw it. So onto the question: If you had a base ability, like in Shounen and some Wuxia and other things, what would it be, and how would it grow? Base Template: Base - Intermediate - Advanced - Awakened - Max Potential Easy Example: Summoning (Summon Objects You've Marked - Summon Objects You've Touched - Summon Living Things You've Contracted - Summon Anything You've Marked - Summon Anything You've Touched) Don't have to go through the entire template, just set up as a guideline. Curious to know yours.
Base: Transformation---Intermediate One Body Part---Advanced Whole Body Exterior---Awakened Whole Body Interior---- Max Anything I Touch. You do realize that some abilities would suck when limited to one thing like speed and strength also need endurance/durability to no die in some conditions right unless body improves with ability. EDIT* This thread is just going to become whoever can make the most OP abilities even if the evolution of the ability makes no sense or are a huge leap huh
Make illusions of non-living things Make illusions of living things Make illusions have substance Make illusions have sentience What is illusionary is real, what is real is an illusion. My Dao of Dreams and Illusions
God Eyes Ability - Farseeing -> Nightvision -> X- Ray Vision -> Past Vision -> Future Sight Eye Abilities in the first stages are carried on to the next.
foresight/Time skip/stop/reversion.in that order Cant loose if you know what they are gonna do beforehand and if you fuck up, you can just go back in time 2-3 seconds and stop yourself from falling up the stairs for the third time that day
Copycat abilities: Simple copy(only just recreate a bit of talent) - Average copy(like me who can just see people's skills and grasp every their talent but not exceed theirs) -Perfect copy(masters and replicate their skills) - Supreme Copy(Exeeding theirs and even unlocking godlike Copy Mode)
(Gonna go with the appraisal cheat trope) Appraisal- Know basic info about an object, skill or person Appraisal- Know advanced info about an object, skill or person Appraisal- Know the concepts behind the object, or skill Appraisal- Know everything about the object, skill or person, and how it functions Appraisal- Know the entire history of an object or person Appraisal- Know and Assimilate the essence of a person, object or skill into oneself
Base- One inch wonder, centimeter thunder Intermediate- Little pecker Advanced- Normal size Awakened- Aegir size Max Potential- Eternal Donger
Base: Control of Plant movement (i.e. dragging a vine along) limited to one plant at a time. Intermediate: Can control multiple plants, and at longer ranges. Advanced: Can create plants that I think of and make them sprout from any surface around me, but I have to think of each in detail before I create it. Awakened: Evolve a mental 'catalogue' of all plants I've discovered or created and I can create them rapidly. Max Potential: I have a personal space (like in wuxia novels) which is my own grove, I can move into my grove myself or move the grove out of the space so that it spawns and sprawls around me. All previous abilities apply when moving stages. EDIT: I forgot to add, for the catalogue part, if I want to create plants I can't base them off created plants but work from the bottom up again.
I totally didn't develop my Dao of Dreams and Illusions just because I couldn't get a girlfriend! That would be ridiculous....
Base: A light knife poke fails to draw blood Intermediate: Can now slide the knife around, still no blood Advanced: Can push down with knife, still no blood Awakened: Swinging the knife down won't draw any blood Max: Dull knives bruise at most How's that? You scared now?
So, personally I'd probably go along the lines of something involving Strengthening. Base Ability Strengthening: Body Strengthening(Single Limb Enhancement(50% Enhancement)) - Intermediate Body Strengthening(Single Limb Enhancement(100% Enhancement)) - Advanced Body Strengthening(Multi Limb Enhancement(Up to 300% Enhancement for 4 Limbs) - Awakened Body Strengthening(Full Body Enhancement(Up to 500% Enhancement For full Body)) - Max Potential Strengthening(Enhancement of Body, Mind, and Objects(Body Enhancement up to 500%, Sense Enhancement 500%, Object Enhancement(Harder, Sharper, Etc.) 300%)
Appraisal -> Advanced Appraisal -> Property Change -> Simple Creation -> God Appraisal- Allows one to see basic info on item Advanced Appraisal-> Allows a person to see everything about an item. Property Change-> Allows a person to change the properties of an item, such as making a sword sharper Simple Creation-> Able to create simple items, such as a pillow. Cannot create living things or advanced item, for example a computer. God-> Allows a person to alter anything and create anything they want
Base: fart -> truck horn fart -> air horn fart -> motorcycle fart -> Thunder fart truck horn fart: loud as a truck horn air horn fart: MLG motorcycle fart: deafening motorcycles thunder fart: Now with the sound of thunder and the power of a Fus ro da.
Alucard vampirism....(hellsing) { lesser Vampire->Vampire->vampire lord->Vampire king->Blood Emperor-> Blood Saint-> Blood God->Blood Primordial lesser vampire{ -any holy item deals 50% more damage -direct contact with the sun deals 10 hp per second and leaves uncurable burn (in normal ways) -15% resistance to magic -can sense blood around 10 meters of the (user/caster) -[magic trader]can transform 2 HP for 1 MP -the only way to heal it's by drinking blood -can control a limited amount of blood in 1 meter around the (user/caster) } each level up removes 10% of the damage from holy items.... and adds 5% to resistance to magic, reduces the hp cost in the [magic trader] until it reaches the 0.1 HP for 1 MP, the sun stop dealing damage to the vampire king level(the vampire recives 5 hp per second and the vampire lord receives 1hp per second without burns), the blood sense increaces range (vampire level)*10(and when the vampire level is reached it can consume MP to increase range), normal vampires can be healed through potions but it will only can heal half of the normal power }
parallel universe traveling as well as multiverse traveling. Easily the most op ability lol just jump to worlds/universes like one piece (if they do exist) get that devil fruit jump to another world get some god level equipment jump again and get some magic knowledge. Heh and then use the power youve gained from one dimension to rob for more from other dimensions. Easy way to never be bored since theres always a parallel world/universet thats different. Goes like this Teleportation able to teleport to any location that youve visited before World Traveling---> able to visit any location in the world as long as you have a picture Void Tunneling---> able to travel anywhere anytime (meaning you can travel back in time as well) Unbound Movement---> able to traverse any location, within any time, unbound by paradoxes as well as restrictions such as space/time and able to travel parallel universes.
