Technique Applications

IS THIS THE GREAT DOSU RESET OF '24???

I haven't changed my techniques from the last medium/heavy patch, plus I want to reflavor some techniques and UTs to have a more cohesive thing going on! I'll just post the new techniques and bolden what has changed from the previous version.



[Light Offensive] Ishllean Martial Arts

Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2KP
Variants: N/A
Description: The Ishllea tribe prides itself in its own brand of martial arts, passed down from generation to generation. Mostly conceived for the purposes of hunting and killing, it takes advantage of every part of the body to deliver precise and deadly strikes. This move encompasses all basic strikes from kicks to punches, knee and elbow strikes and even headbutts.

[Medium Offensive] Burial Rites

Power: 80%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: N/A
Description: A technique that involves a series of strikes and slashes with a knife aimed at different vital spots. This combination seeks to overwhelm the opponent and send them to an early grave.

[Medium Offensive] Wolfbeast Bite

Power: 60%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Bleed
Description: Using the strength of his fingers, Dosu can tear through flesh effortlessly. Forming a hand into a claw, he swipes at the target, tearing the flesh away and causing bleeding.

---

[Medium Offensive] All-Devouring Fang

Power: 60%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Piercing
Description: A strike that focuses strength at a precise point on the tip of the arm/leg. Adding rotational energy to the attack at high speed, it can bore through flesh and bones, similar to a drill.

---

[Light Defensive] Shrug Off

Power: 20%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: N/A
Description: Dosu can shrug off a portion of the damage he receives. Pretty nifty.

---

[Light Defensive] Abnormal Resilience

Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: N/A
Description: Upon receiving an attack, Dosu gets back up, again and again. Yup, he's that kind of guy.

---

[Light Defensive] Dead Calm

Power: 60%
KP Cost: 2KP
Variants: Evasive
Description: Dosu calms his breathing, adapting to his opponent's rhythm. This way, he can react near-instantaneously to an attack, dodging it effortlessly.

---

[Medium Defensive] Ignore Pain

Power: 60%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Shield
Description: At some point, it's no longer a matter of "woah, that dude can take a beating", it becomes more like "how the hell is he still alive?!". Even the most battle-hardened veteran would find something unnerving about a guy casually resetting each of his broken fingers into place without a hint of pain showing.

---

[Heavy Defensive] Overturning Heaven and Earth

Power: 80%
KP Cost: 5 KP
Variants: Reflective
Description: A defensive maneuver that takes advantage of an enemy's attack, adding the energy of the strike received to one's momentum to deliver a powerful counterattack.

---

[Heavy Defensive SPARKING] Dosu Style: Retrograde Moon, Crashing Wave

Power: 110%
KP Cost: 5 KP
Variants: Taunt, Taunt+
Description: The first technique Dosu ever created for himself. Upon receiving an attack, he can redirect the flow of power back to the target, bolstering his next moves.

---

[Support | Max Power] Unfathomable Might

Power: N/A
KP Cost: N/A
Variants: N/A
Description: You may activate Max Power at the very start of your post, increasing the power of all of your techniques by +10% while active. Prevents you from gaining MP naturally, using evasive or escape techs, blocking escapes, and intercepting attacks meant for others. You can only turn it off at the end of a post, at the end your second post after activation at the earliest. If you run out of MP, you lose Max Power's effects at the end of your post and cannot gain any MP on your next turn.

[Utility] Berserk Gene

Power: N/A
KP Cost: N/A
Variants: N/A
Description: Damage received triggers an endorphin rush, enhancing his reflexes the more he is hurt. While this does not affect his power in any case, he can ignore the weariness and pain that comes with damage as long as it is not incapacitating in nature. Since it allows him to disregard his own health, it makes him even more reckless and prone to lapse in judgment in crisis situations.

Notes: Doesn't affect Power level in any way, it just allows Dosu to disregard damage received and trades the pain for an endorphin high. OOCly it changes nothing on his health threshold.

[Utility] Ripper's Touch

Power: N/A
KP Cost: N/A
Variants: N/A
Description: Due to his exceptional grip strength, Dosu can tear through flesh, armor, and metal as if it was butter. His grip strength is strong enough to crush limbs and bones if given the opportunity. Treats Dosu's melee attacks as if they were bladed weapon attacks. Opponents are able to defend themselves the same way they would against other weapons. The more extreme effects (anything other than shallow cuts) can only be used with player consent. Does not constitute an upgrade in power and has no mechanical effect. Prolonged use consumes energy, tiring him out faster.

[Utility] Superheran Syndrome

Power: N/A
KP Cost: N/A
Variants: N/A
Description: A curse moreso than a boon. Dosu is born with a special physical constitution that forcefully uses all available ki at all times. This offers him strength far above normal levels as well as physical resistance far beyond normal values, but it also renders him unable to use any of it to perform advanced ki manipulation techniques. It is also the true cause of the so-called "Berserk Gene".
