Akki Revision [Proposed Changes & Discussion]

[Deleted]

Thread Purpose: Rather than the numerous conversations ongoing in discord and other locales, I figured it was better for us to gather all our ideas and suggestions for revising the Akki into a single thread.

This is a collaborative thread (all are welcome to participate, including those who don't play or intend to play Akki).

Suggestions to date:

- Akki Envainar Guard needs revision
- Differentiating Power, Hybrid, and HSR types more
- Revision of Saisei Oni release in order to reduce complexity whilst keeping original flavour (physical transformation + weapon powers).
- Akki should have access to Hell Techniques exclusively.
- Proposed: Their racial non-release techs should be hell variants of Cero & Hierro (given how Akki are essentially hell arrancar).
- The Sanctus will grant access to Inferium Magia (Hell Magic) to members of Equis+. This includes akki.
- Proposed revision might include two releases: A Hell Resurreccion + Battle Form (dubbed Hell Mode) release for Power type, and both Primera & Segunda for HSR type.

I will keep this list updated as additional suggestions are made (this list is not in any particular order nor is any weighting/preference given to any individual suggestion in this list).

Unlike the above catch-all list, the list below includes all the ideas that the community has expressed a collective desire to incorporate (with at least 3+ people expressing interest in the idea).

- Sanctus membership grants access to Hell Magic.
- Akki use Cero & Hell Cero as racial non-release techs. This would replace access to shini Kidou (but not Hell Magic).

This post will be used to create a new racial description and leveling path for Akki. Once completed, this post will be then submitted to the staff for approval.

My proposed changes:

• Envainar Guard is reduced in power, and granted to Power Akki exclusively as part of their Hell Mode release.
  
• HSR akki can use Hierro, but not the supercharged Envainar Guard. All akki gain access to Hierro at class 4 (like arrancar).
  
• Remove Hybrid Akki entirely.
  
• Akki get Hell Resurreccion at class 6. This has 3 techs, and is a weapon-based transformation largely identical to Arrancar primera Etapa. The class of this release scales with character class (class 6-0).
  
• At class 2, Power Akki get Hell Mode (described below). HSR akki get 1 additional technique for Primera Etapa. HSR akki gain Segunda Etapa with 3 techniques and 1 classless technique. This is like branched evolution in pokemon.
  
  
• Hell Mode (Power Akki): This release transforms your character into a 40-foot tall monster such as a dragon, pit fiend, behemoth, or some other titanic kaiju-like demon. Your battle-form gains 600SP in Strength, plus an additional 2400SP which can be spent on any of your statistics (including strength) with a stat-cap of 2000. Your Battle-form does not increase your existing statistics. Instead, when you transform into your battle-form, you replace your existing statistics with those of your battle form. Your battle-form does not possess any type bonuses, and the value of any statistic is equal to the SP spent on it.
  
  You gain Envainar Guard while using this release. Your Battle form has an overall ability and two techniques. The chosen techniques must relate to your physical nature in some fashion such as a breath weapon, physical attack, a hellfire aura, etc. While using your Hell Mode, you cannot also benefit from Hell Resurreccion. This release lasts 7 posts, and cannot be refreshed. Once the duration expires, you must wait 24 hrs before you can enter Hell Mode again.
  
  
• Segunda Etapa (HSR Akki): You gain a second more powerful release called Segunda Etapa. This release must still relate back to your resurreccion overall ability, and has 4 techniques. 3 of these techniques have the same class as your release, while the fourth technique is classless. You gain Akki HSR (as described in the existing race description).
  

I propose the Power Akki and HSR Akki have the same SP totals (1600 seems reasonable). The difference lies in their secondary release gained at class 2.

So the first thing i will say is that akki don't need a release rework. The release they have is already one of the strongest and most versatile depending on how it's built. Secondly this rework would force every single nakka to have to make changes to their release as they have a weaker form of akki release.

Actually getting into the changes it seems just like a rip off of arrancar which makes me wonder why don't you play a demonic arrancar. We have had one that was absolutely terrifying and still to this day is infamous at least to the members that remember adalo.

Getting to the changes I honestly can't see how either form would be approved. First off the hell mode your submitting is like a supercharged version of old volstanding with less drawbacks and more power also with types affecting it you could easily have a case where someone is waving around 10k strength or RS.

For HSR akki..... you're again just taking arrancar release and giving it to akki. Mind you reading what it could be your giving someone a class 0 release for seven posts.

Personally nothing here is unique enough or interesting enough to warrant a total race change of powers.

Well in fairness the lore does describe them as hell arrancar, which is why I modelled my suggestions off said. Those were just my suggestions though, which is but one voice. I created the thread so everyone can express their opinions and ideas in one place, instead of across a half dozen ongoing conversations
