ABILITY PERMISSIONS
Elektra possesses the following abilities in MoM:
- Empathy
- Weapon Proficiency
- Black Sky
Weapon Proficiency and Black Sky These two abilities are, in a nutshell, physical abilities. Elektra is able to pick up anything she wishes to use as a weapon and instantly is a master on how best to use it. Coupled with her Black Sky abilities — which is, essentially, an enhancement on her strength, agility, durability, speed, reflexes, and senses — she is a force. Even without these two abilities, Elektra is a skilled martial artist and, most importantly, is a survivor. She will kill and she will be ruthless and she will not stop until she survives.
If you wish to engage with her in a physical fight, please be aware that she is a challenge to beat.
Regarding this ability, I'll speak to players one-on-one rather than ask for a blanket permissions opt-in comment.
Empathy This is the power to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others. Please note the levels Elektra will need to unlock in order to gain full control of this ability.
LEVEL 1: Elektra will be able to feel the emotions of another person. Sometimes this can be incredibly overwhelming and paralyse her. Once she gains the ability to be able to filter through the emotions being pushed onto her, she'll be able to, essentially, "surf" them and not be knocked over. During the early stages, Elektra will have difficulty discerning one person's emotions from her own.
LEVEL 2: Once she has gained control of the basic fundamentals. Elektra will be able to project those feelings onto another person. This will lead to her being able to manipulate the emotions of another. At first, it'll be in small doses — perhaps giving someone the feeling that they're a little happy, or even taking away the surface level of their sadness.
LEVEL 3: The next stage is being able to properly manipulate the emotions of another, leading her to being able to attack them. She can amplify an emotion — fright, love, sadness — to become unbearable for the other person, thus overpowering them and leaving them defenceless.
Given Elektra's ruthless nature when it comes to survival, she will use this against anyone she sees as a threat. She will also use this to "prod and poke" into someone.
Weaknesses to Empathy: Power nullifying abilities can stop this ability and other empaths can project upon her.
Your character and empathetic Elektra For anyone interacting with Elektra, please let me know if she can use her empathy on your character, and in turn if I can read your descriptions and use this to inform Elektra on how your character feels. Please note I intend to have Elektra interpret any emotions as she would, which is as an unreliable narrator. Someone else's fear may be read as elation to her, for example.
The reasoning behind giving Elektra this power is to give her a slight weakness; she has been trained to not let emotions get the best of her, and to make her arc more meaty, I wanted to challenge that.
Feel free to let me know if she can use her power on your character by commenting to this post or via PM/ping on plurk or by message via discord.
She will not be using her ability on anyone who does not consent their character to this.
