If you couldn't tell, this little gremlin is unusual for a Heran. This is for your own safety.
BACKGROUND:
The Unseen. Long ago, there laid an unknown magical force within Hera that nobody but a select few knew of; Even fewer capable of wielding. For it's knowledge drove most mad and turned those unlucky enough to live through the madness into monsters. This well-guarded secret of the Universe these shrewd people lived nearby caused more problems than anything in their culture. The move to destroy the knowledge of this 'thing' and remove its influence by force was met by countless attempts to seize it for power. In the end, whatever Secret Order remained in the public eye vanished, and with it the idea of this thing outside the observed realm, as it were.
This was ages ago. The planet's ecosystem has shifted since then, and the culture has passed it long ago. A young Kimagura, typical as they came with a heran woman who had a penchant for piracy as part of a crew. The Hailstorm Pirates. She sought to shore up some losses she took in as a result of a few back-to-back lost jobs. Accidentally stumbling into a den of long-forgotten beasts, twisted by this Unseen, on her way deep into the forgotten. If the murals and made drawings of the deceased surrounding the area didn't make it clear, then the tome sat high up in the room did-
These poor beasts she dispatched were previous herans trying their hand at one of the last remaining books on this Order, with knowledge laid within. Dangerous enough still to drive a man wild. Kima would realize this too late in her bid to glean over the book and judge it's worth. Something... Different happened as she took in what she could, however. She... Went mad, right? Started seeing things where they weren't, voices directed her but had no source. No true direction. She wouldn't find her way back out of that small cove and surely would turn into a beast like the rest.
Only... hours, and days passed. Kimagura's bodily transformation was not so sudden, so grotesque. It was gradual. A loss of height, squatness of stature. Then came the Unseen; Dark slate skin that replaced her natural Heran hue. It was hard to differentiate the real and fake pains, her appetite failing her but never starving her outright. Alone, she does not know why The Unseen had chosen a more merciful fate for the Heran. Only understanding that it was the doing of something beyond.
Such a discovery was just what this Ancient Order, as they'd go unnamed to anyone not in, waited for. What little members there were guarded and surveyed this tome, and upon checking it within the first week of her madness, they found her. Took her in and caged her like an experiment lab rat. In all those years, she was taught, tested... Nearly fifteen years. With time, her vision cleared. As did her mind, and the madness and delusion became a norm she not only dealt with but embraced as 'The Unseen' speaking to her.
"How else would it communicate to one who is Observed?"
Even with safety procedures, there was a time when the Unseen Mage's strength and magic grew too powerful to truly contain. She started to learn things they weren't even teaching, aspects of The Unseen the oldest members weren't even privy to. When word got out that she was to be 'dealt with' to avoid something terrible from happening, visions came to the impish Kima.
The Unseen Mage knew her time there was done. She was needed elsewhere, her ambition rewarded with strength and magic she never thought she'd get otherwise. Where Kimagura go off to after blasting her way through Hera and into her own ship? Who knew...
COMBAT INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES 6/6 + 1* + 5~: You start with Three Standard Technique Slots and One Sparking Slot that you can use any way you like. Some species start out with additional slots, or access to certain slot-based abilities for free. You also start with two additional Utility Technique Slots.
Light Offensive || Shooting Star
A specialized form of magical blast made entirely of the Unseen Mage's inner power. Its trajectory and acceleration differ from that of a standard ki blast, slow to start and only growing in speed with distance while it arcs its way at a target.
Power: 20%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: Ki Cost Reduction, +10% Power
Light Offensive || Shooting Barrage
A specialized form of magical blast made entirely of the Unseen Mage's inner power. Several are gathered in succession and held out in front of the Unseen Mage before launching all at once. Their trajectory and acceleration differ from that of standard ki blasts, slow to start and only growing in speed with distance as they arc their way at a target.
Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 3
Light Defensive || Seal's Eternal Engine
As a means to help keep the Unseen Mage alive when she was serving her dues to the masters above her, the Seal covering her Unseen body and head forcibly rejuvenates the mage at the cost of her own energy. The process is painful and rarely helps with recovery outside minor injury.
Power: 20%
KP Cost: 1 KP
Variants: Ki Cost Reduction, +10% Power
Light Defensive || Abyssal Abjure~
When under duress, an Unseen Mage can wittingly throw up a translucent shell of dark blue energy to surround their entire body and the space they occupy out to a few feet. Accompanying this shell are large arcane runes at all times, ones specific to ward off other magic. In this way it helps cover all angles on all fronts.
Power: 40%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 3
Medium Offensive || Outer Horizon~
A disk of dark blue energy is formed hanging in the air nearby, pulled from the Unseen Mage's mind alone. This spinning disk of energy is controlled with thought alone and can be launched with such ferocity as to match physical material launched with superpowered hands.
Power: 80%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 4
Medium Defensive || True Abyssal Abjure~
When under duress, an Unseen Mage can wittingly throw up a translucent shell of dark blue energy to surround their entire body and the space they occupy out to several feet. Accompanying this shell are large arcane runes at all times, ones specific to ward off other magic. In this way, it helps cover all angles on all fronts.
Power: 80%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 4
Heavy Offensive || Inner Horizon~
A huge disk of dark blue energy is formed hanging in the air nearby, pulled from the Unseen Mage's mind alone. This spinning disk of energy is controlled with thought alone and can be launched with such ferocity as to match physical material launched with superpowered hands.
Power: 120%
KP Cost: 6 KP
Variants: +10% Power x 5
Heavy Offensive || Epoch~
Pulling from The Unseen, Kima coats her dark blue energy in the cold of the lightless. Forming it into the shape of a minuscule sphere over her palm or fingertip. This deceptively small ball of energy is black as can be, with any trace of light sinking past it and disappearing into nothing. Its power comes from the force surrounding it, as when tossed away from the Unseen Mage it applies a crushing force of gravity around it. Threatening to destroy life and terrain on its path in what is essentially a makeshift black hole.
Power: 100%
KP Cost: 6 KP
Variants: Overflowing, +10% Power x 3
Heavy Sparking Offensive|| Final Epoch
Pulling from The Unseen, Kima coats her dark blue energy in the cold of the lightless. Forming it into the shape of a small sphere over her palm or fingertip. This deceptively small ball of energy is black as can be, with any trace of light sinking past it and disappearing into nothing. Its power comes from the force surrounding it, as when tossed away from the Unseen Mage it applies a crushing force of gravity around it. Threatening to destroy life and terrain on its path in what is essentially a makeshift black hole.
Power: 130%
KP Cost: 6 KP
MP Cost: 5 MP
Variants: Overflowing+, +10% Power x 6
Support || Cosmic Channel (MAX-Power)*
Pulling from the parts of the Universe where starlight does not reach, Kima rips open a portal to outside The Observed, into The Unseen. Siphoning the primordial energy that comes with it at the cost of movement. This portal forms in part as a sigil that appears both underneath and above her, with exaggerated motions to pull the Unseen into her techniques to empower them. This is usually seen visually in the form of old magic runes that date back to ancient Hera times employed in the creation of said techniques.
MP Cost:1 MP per turn while active. Cannot regain MP while active. No longer costs MP or restricts MP generation, but reduces the maximum natural MP generation down to 1 per post.
Variants: All Techniques +10%. Unable to use Evasive or Escape Techniques. Can be ended at the end of a post, except the one it's activated on.
Utility Technique || Ki Sensing
A technique that allows you to sense, measure, and differentiate the ki signatures of ki attacks and all living beings without the Anti-Sense trait. Higher ki signatures are easier to sense and can be sensed at greater distances than lower ones. This technique is passive and does not use KP.
Utility Technique || Power Suppression
Skilled control over your magic allows you to suppress your Power Level to a minimum of 1 PL to either hide or use this lower PL to fight characters weaker than your full strength on even footing. This technique is passive and does not require KP use.
Utility Technique || Provocative Knowledge
Either by mere presence around the Unseen Mage or through the powerful use of the magic surrounding the Unseen, Kimagura can, wittingly or not, pour some of her maddening knowledge into others. With OOC permissions, targets of Kimagura's magic or those near her while they are in effect may cause them to read into incomprehensible events that exist beyond the known galaxies. This barrage of recollection can drive most mad as they try to rationalize them. This can be any random empires, false names, or pseudo-powers that fall beyond the purview of what's thought possible. These are just simple examples. Most of the time, the Unseen will seek to provide information that will be the most harmful to the current character's psyche while remaining intangible to contest.
Utility Technique || Telekinesis
With a strong use of the mind, Kimagura can manipulate a large variety of objects, big and small, hands-free. Lifting them and tossing them with nothing more than a thought. The larger the object, the more energy and focus it takes to manipulate in these ways. This technique is passive and does not require KP.
Utility Technique || Flight
Titular flight using cosmic magic.
