[B]Limited Flight[/B] - Ishtar is now capable of Ki/Chi aided flight. Though it is, more closely, simply the ability to hover/maneuver while airborne.
[B]Jump Assist[/B] - Ishtar can fire small explosions of Ki/Chi from the bottoms of her feet, slightly amplifying height of her jumps, and the strength of abilities reliant on her legs.
[B][URL="https://i.imgur.com/LMSIdL3.jpg"]Katchin Sword[/URL][/B] - Ishtar has recovered a single-edged [URL="http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Katchin"]Katchin[/URL] blade from the Lookout's decrepit Armory.
[B]Atar Vazishta Ashtem[/B] - (Avesta: "missile[arrow] of Atar[fire] most swift") - Due to her nature, and thanks to assistance from Nunlil, Ishtar is capable of generating and firing bolts of electricity from her hands, eyes, and horns.
[I][B]Starapateñti[/B][/I] - After her lesson with Grav, the Vitalmancer, Ishtar is capable of manipulating gravity by means of physical spellcasting.
[I][B]Aēva [/B][/I]- By amplifying the effects of gravity in an area, on an object, or to a person(s), Ishtar can pin a target in place or slow progress, or cause physical harm by applying the force directly- in a short burst- to a limb or through physical contact. The longer she wishes the effect to persist, the longer Ishtar must impart energy/invoke the spell (equating to post-count), with anything beyond three posts, requiring the creation of a [URL="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b1/28/d0/b128d083c05a55daef5dee663b7c2fe4.jpg"]summoning circle[/URL].

Power Level:
Etrina: 11,500
Erosa: 13,000
Style: Spiritual Magecraft/Berserking
Techniques (2 unused)
Etrina
Icy Howl - High Speed Projectile ice shards that can be formed and launched in rapid volleys.
Life Rewinder - Temporal Healing Magic, reverting wounds and damage to a pre-damage state via localized temporal disruption. Experimental Magic with full body limitations and possibility of side-effects.
Mystic Talismans: Creation and Magical Imbuing of Talismans. Taking the form of small paper talismans, Etrina can bind various commands and effects that apply once the talisman makes contact with a target. Talismans can be imbued with a combination of simple commands or elemental effects to achieve a desired effect. A talisman with "fire" will burst the target into flames upon contact, but a talisman with "imbue fire" will give the target the properties of fire(which more often then not also sets it on fire). Only one command phrase can be applied at present. Unless otherwise restrained, talismans can be removed by anyone.
Alt-Time Anomaly
For a temporary length of time (1-3 posts pending approval), Etrina can tap into the temporal steam of another timeline that is similar, but not quite, to her own....and Summon an alternate version of herself that will assist in combat for that period. The power level of the alt-Etrina will fluctuate but never exceed that of the current Etrina and will usually have a variation of her general attack kit. Once time runs out or the etrina is defeated, it will return to its original timeline with no ill effect.
Magic Multi-Tool
By shaping magical energy, Etrina can create weapons of an Ethereal nature with her wand as the base and handle. These weapons are entirely magical in nature, replicating the shape while powered by Etrinas general level of magical strength....making them strike as hard as Etrinas Current PL would allow. Weapons created this way with projectile aspects while function normally, but projectiles dissipate after a few moments separated from Etrina.
Vitamancy(Event Locked) - Mystic Art of Life Channeling. Erosa can extract and utilize the Life essence of a living thing to weaken a target, strengthen an ally or increase her own power. Drain effect weakened with range, and can be channeled through physical contact or through held weapons to both drain life during a strike(strongest drain effect) or expend to increase the overall strength of a hit. Currently only apprentice level.
Erosa
Dormant Stage- Upon taking enough damage or burning through her ki reserve. Erosa will enter a dormant state, becoming immaterial and returning to her origin realm. There she is safe from harm(with the exception of mental attacks) until she can regain her strength and manifest in physical form again.
Burning Claws - Her fingers can take on the characteristics of white hot metal blades.
Magicite Heart - Crystallized Essence of Magic, The will to carry any burden. Charges inside Erosa body at a rate of one charge every 2 posts, up to a maximum of 5 charges. When triggered, Erosa will transform into her Magicite Form at which point a charge will be expended every turn until either completely drained or power or cut. The effects of the magicite transformation increase the longer Erosa stays in Magicite form, as does the negative side effects.
1st Charge: Power Level increased to x1.5. Can be canceled safely and maintained without triggering another charge.
2nd Charge: Power Level increased to x2. Body begins heating up, producing steam. Can still can canceled safely.
3rd Charge: Power Level increases to x3. Body now too unstable to cancel magicite form normally. Must expend all remaining energy(including remaining charges) via channeled attack that will leave Erosa unable to fight for two turns.
4th Charge: Power Level increases to x6. Maximum physical tolerance. Erosa must detonate her body at this stage to release accumulated energy....effectively knocking her out of the fight until her body can regenerate. If detonation doesn't trigger by the end of the post, it proceeds into...
5th Charge: Power Level increases to x10. Magicite heart ruptures, creating an annihilation sphere that wipes everything inside it from existence. Cannot be regenerated, a broken heart effectively wipes Erosas existence from being reconstituted.
Thanatos Drive EX- Strong Offensive Attack. A set of four fire wings now form from Erosas back, greatly increasing hr speed and maneuverability in the air. This can now be maintained indefinitely thanks to better regulation of her heat...While ignition can be triggered consciously to perform an explosively drive bomb maneuver. Once detonated, her body will reform over a turn of combat and she will not be able to reuse the ability again that battle.
Thousand Maws of the Id
Special variation on the Ki Grenade technique taught to Erosa by Kami, that uses the special nature of her ki to generate hunter/killer ki grenades in the shape of orbs with mouths. True to their nature, they will hunt down the nearest prey as though each were its own entity and viciously bit into them before self detonating with the force of a regular ki attack. As long as no more then 4 are active, Erosa can manipulate their behavior and detonation time to lay traps. Once beyond that number they progressively act more feral and obey less until they simply charge the enemy with reckless abandon. Maws can bite through most solid objects and "eat" matter which adds to their eventual detonation.
Wound Licker
A combination of diet, magical emissions and spacial distortion radiation have altered the basic composition of Erosas Saliva into something that has a level of healing strength stronger then Healing tank fluid. Application heals small wounds immediately, and can treat larger wounds overtime. Recipient may need to swallow pride to take full advantage.
Subliminal Hunter/Killer(Stage 1)
When not directly observed or in combat, Erosa can enter into a form of stealth that masks her existence from outside observers. In this Hunter/Killer form, she gives no ki emittion or detectable form of energy. Observers will be unable to consciously detect Erosa even when staring directly at her, though they will experience a strange "feeling" when she is in the visual field of that observer. The effect is broken the moment Erosa attacks or is attacked.
Hunter/Killer Stage 2
Erosa can trigger this effect mid battle, effectively leaving a doppelganger in her place that will continue to perform the last action Erosa was performing before dissipating(or in most cases exploding). Erosa will remain stealthed until the copy vanishes, instantly dispelling the stealth aura. Each successive use of the ability allows the mind of the defender to adapt, leading to a limited amount of times this can be used per battle. (1 starting, maybe 2-3 eventually)
Items: Chemist Equipment, Crafted Wand, Magecraft Certificate, restraining order(ineffective), Urn of the Vitalmancer
Special: Etrina if gifted with excellent memorization skills, Erosa has very limited regenerative capability(slightly boosted during berserking)
History:
A Magecraft Progeny from a well established family. Holding herself to nothing short of the highest expectations of family, peers, teachers and most importantly herself. Excelling in the study of the magic and the mysteries of the universe. Admired, Accomplished...
It was only natural that Etrina Von Stoltengarde was the kind of girl who couldn't make a friend even if she cared to have one in the first place. Which she didn't. Far too busy to try, far to arrogant to succeed. She lived and worked by her own perfectionist life guide. Everything on time, ordered and 100% flawless in execution.
...and yet when the time came for the culmination of her early experimentation into a form of magic drawing directly from the mind of the user, she both succeeded and failed in the most spectacular way imaginable.
Erosa was born. An Id. A creature formed of repressed human emotion.
Utterly uncontrollable, violent, rude, lazy, vulgar. Everything Etrina masked behind her pretty perfectionist facade. An unwanted familiar that she would try and fail to get rid of. Yet whenever she found herself in a pinch.....it seemed vulgar or not, they had a bond on the most basic level.
Didn't make Etrinas headaches any less severe at the end of the day.

[QUOTE=Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh;3319527]I agree with Siriel tho. Clothes beam is OP.[/QUOTE]
True; neither Jiren nor Zamasu can handle the mighty Clothes Beam.
Anyway, does anyone know offhand where Z Fighters came from as a term?
Also, would we be considered M Fighters? Memory Martialist? What?
-
Z-Fighters doesn't appear in canon nor is it used by Toriyama (he usually calls them the Dragon Team or Super Warriors).
They're referred to as Z-Senshi in five anime titles. (Starting with the Bardock special.)
Then Funimation started throwing the term Z-Fighters around everywhere.
Since this entire RP is [I]clearly[/I] leading to the Tournament of Power, we're obviously Team U15.
(Alternately, looking for a team name before the RP even starts is a bit silly.)

As each exceeded expectations and brought different parts of the root art to new heights, the master's technique was honoured and elevated by the five. Upon the master's death, however, instead of banding together for the sake of the art,[URL="http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?105197-Dragonball-M-A-DBZ-RPG-Sign-Up-and-Discussion-Thread&p=3525818&viewfull=1#post3525818"] the five turned against each other and quarreled over whose techniques were the strongest and therefore the master's worthiest heir.[/URL] As the five fingers of the elder master's hand split apart, five schools were establish who continue to fight and scheme against each other. Whether through might or character, saving face called for exhibitions; Cultivated rivalries led to honour duels to the death; subterfuge and underhanded murder conflated vengeance with duty.
A pupil of [URL="http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?105197-Dragonball-M-A-DBZ-RPG-Sign-Up-and-Discussion-Thread&p=3421961&viewfull=1#post3421961"]Crane Master Chahan[/URL], Ochazuke is one of a new generation this blood feud expected to continue this war. The roots of the rivalry between the five schools led him to obsess over the original master, and he became fixated with recovering the mother art's original techniques.

Before any real widespread progress could be made in blending the Tiger and Crane styles, Chahan and Ochazuke's fellow students assaulted the Tiger stronghold and all but killed him as they brought his sympathizers in the Tiger faction to ruin.
Forced into exile by this disgrace with enemies all around, Ochazuke continues to fulfill his quest through refining his technique. His obsession compels him to move from beyond what he believes to be a "gateless barrier" against understanding of the fundamental truths of the world and where a warrior's pursuit of strength will ultimately lead. Though fate may have cast him adrift, he is still nonetheless compelled to fight, for to do nothing in a world gone mad is to live slavishly without meaning.

[U]This practice manifests in the development of his techniques for Battle Meditation and Senshin Techniques.[/U]
[B]2) Kikojutsu[/B] ([I](気功術 "Energy Control Technique"[/I]): The foundational energy practice for a set of Crane School forbidden techniques. Where [U]conventional ki energy techniques draw from a surplus reserve cultivated from martial practice[/U] and can be intuitively grasped as an extension of physicality, [I][B]Kikojutsu [/B][/I]draws from a deeper power which governs the conscious will over the body, the fundamental life force that forms consciousness to being and asserts one's ego. [U]Feeding life force into ki energy like a bellows feeding a furnace, and used well it can cultivate great yields that exceed limitations of the mind, body and spirit.[/U] However if used hastily or in poor form it may snuff out the user's life. Thus Kikojutsu techniques [B]require preparation time and perfect technique.[/B]
[B]Personality Notes[/B]
- Ochazuke values the precise execution of intent over a pragmatic ends-justify-the-means approach.
- In spite of his appearance, his fighting style is based on methodical outfighting and oblique footwork rather than brute force
- Rigidly blunt and honest, he rarely minces words. He no longer has much respect for ritualized formalities or good graces without merit.
- He feels compelled to act righteously in the stead of those who have no power, but otherwise remains rather aloof.
- Though not a complete stranger to city life, he prefers to live on the fringe of society. Therefore his knowledge of technology and current events - outside of the martial arts world - is profoundly stunted.
