Community Project Mega Thread: Types 2

[Kitai Yoru]

What is the point of this thread?

Simple. I am bored, and annoyed at the restrictions of certain races and want them open to other races. Like the last one of these, it's open for other people to throw in their own type edits, or new types in general.

Rules of this MegaThread


1. This is not a discussion and critique thread. Critique is reserved only for Mods, not members who decide to do their jobs for them.

2. The thread creator is the one who will report the thread. This is to insure that mods don't get overloaded. Yes, there might be a lot of types posted in this thread but if only one person reports it that ensures the thread won't appear in the Mod Que fifty times.

3. You can submit as many types as you want. But only in your post. This is meant to keep the thread from being filled with 15 suggestions made by one person that are each a separate post.

{Technique Master}Tldr, made it available to Fullbringers.

Type: Technique Master

Description: This is someone who has actually forfeit the majority of their race's abilities, particularly Release abilities, to use a wide range of techniques at a very high level. As a result, however, their spirit tends to be unstable, putting them at risk.

Advantage:

Rank 1: Double Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure (100 would be 200). Gain double the non-Release technique slots (the limit for this character technique-wise is 40 instead of 20. This does NOT apply to the techniques gained from Training Tier, too). Can learn any technique at any time through training as long as the character has the Reiatsu to use the technique in actual combat.

Rank 2: Triple Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure (100 would be 300). Gain double the non-Release technique slots (the limit for this character technique-wise is 40 instead of 20. This does NOT apply to the techniques gained from Training Tier, too). Can learn any technique at any time through training as long as the character has the Reiatsu to use the technique in actual combat.

Rank 3: Quadruple Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure (100 would be 400). Gain double the non-Release technique slots (the limit for this character technique-wise is 40 instead of 20. This does NOT apply to the techniques gained from Training Tier, too). Can learn any technique at any time through training as long as the character has the Reiatsu to use the technique in actual combat.

Rank 4: 450% increase to Reiatsu Strength and Spiritual Pressure (100 would be 550). Gain double the non-Release technique slots (the limit for this character technique-wise is 40 instead of 20. This does NOT apply to the techniques gained from Training Tier, too). Can learn any technique at any time through training as long as the character has the Reiatsu to use the technique in actual combat.


Disadvantage: This person never gets a Release-type weapon. People of this Type cannot become Vizard or Zero Division. Technique Masters suffer from a malady that makes it difficult for them to use the techniques they have too excessively. Due to being at disharmony with their race's spiritual abilities, which causes a lack of Release along with Shinigami Technique Masters not having a Zanpakutō spirit to help stabilize them, all Technique Masters experience spiritual pain from any use of their techniques.

This varies by Class. Class 8 techniques don't cause any harm, but Class 7-4 cause quick jolts of pain like pulling a small muscle or receiving a small gash from a kitchen knife. It would be quite bad for lower level TMs, but a more experienced person would barely register it and would likely not lose combat effectiveness in any way. Class 3-2 techniques would feel like getting very bad sunburns during the actual use of the technique, and several seconds afterward for some perpetual agony. It's enough to majorly slow down less experienced people, though higher level TMs should still be able to ward it off and fight, perhaps not effortlessly, but with limited mitigation of their combat prowess. Class 1 techniques are basically like getting stung repeatedly by box jellyfish over every inch of your body. It is comparable to the pain one would feel in the Naruto series for use of of the Mangekyou Sharingan: Susano'o technique, though potentially worse. Class 0 techniques are nearly unusable, creating enough pain to cause the user to lose consciousness or worse. Pain Resistance Skills can reduce these effects slightly, but not enough to make it significantly lesser. It will let them fight through the pain with difficulty.

This instability shows itself in one last way. As TMs use more Reiatsu, they begin to destabilize further, putting themselves at risk. When they have less than 50% of their maximum Reiatsu (based on original Stats after Type; lowering maximum Reiatsu through altered Spiritual Pressure will not lower this threshold), too much Reiatsu use causes their body to become unstable, like a Failure's, to the point where they will explode with force equal to their Reiatsu Strength upon impact. This may be a punch with Strength of 50 or more, or falling to the ground with even a moderate amount of force. This first Tier is using more than 800 Reiatsu in a single post when they have less than 50% of their maximum Reiatsu. Once they break this limit, they are subject to constant Class 3-2 pain and Failure status, volatile against any sort of impact, until they have had time to rest and regain their Reiatsu reserves. When the user has less than 25%, it gets worse. You are automatically subject to this unstable status, putting you at risk with any damage. Using more than 800 Reiatsu in a single post while having less than 25% Reiatsu will cause pain equal to twice that of Level 1 pain. This will be difficult to endure even with Pain Resistance Skills.

There is also a risk of permanently becoming a Failure should you overdo your limits too often. This is a plot device, however, and is determined by the player, not by mechanics. It may not be wise to engage in more than two Captain-level fights consecutively unless glowing skin and life as a bomb is appealing.

Technique Masters cannot take Pain Tolerance as a Skill

Race Restrictions: Available to all Races except Rogues, Mod Souls, Failures, Hollows, Hasons, Saika, and Beast-Clansmen.

{Lost Sense}Tldr got rid of Semi-Crippled, and increased the sensory overload cap.

Type: Lost Sense

Description: This person has lost one of their senses, but is incredibly advantaged in other ways. These people are often more powerful than they let on. As they gain experience with this Type, they become more and more acute in every other way.

Advantage:

Rank 1: This Type loses either sight or hearing (selected during pre-approvement). This may seem to be a disadvantage, but the result is that their senses triple to make up for the lack of other senses (triple if blindness is selected (100 would be 300). It's only double if deafness is selected (100 would be 200)). Sensory Overload starts at 400+ senses.

Rank 2: This Type loses either sight or hearing (selected during pre-approvement). This may seem to be a disadvantage, but the result is that their senses quadruple to make up for the lack of other senses (quadruple if blindness is selected {100 would be 400). It's only triple if deafness is selected (100 would be 300)). Sensory Overload starts at 500+ senses.

Rank 3: This Type loses either sight or hearing (selected during pre-approvement). This may seem to be a disadvantage, but the result is that their senses quintuple to make up for the lack of other senses (quintuple if blindness is selected (100 would be 500). It's only triple if deafness is selected (100 would be 300)). Sensory Overload starts at 600+ senses.

Rank 4: This Type loses either sight or hearing (selected during pre-approvement). This may seem to be a disadvantage, but the result is that their senses increase by 500% to make up for the lack of other senses (500% if blindness is selected (100 would be 600). It's only 400% if deafness is selected (100 would be 500)). Sensory Overload starts at 800+ senses.


Disadvantage: Blindness or deafness are disadvantages already.

Race Restrictions: Available to all Races

Initial Weapons: One Starting Weapon (i.e. one Zanpakutō, one Doll, etc.)

{Cripple Version 1}Tldr added Fullbringer, Quincy, and Nakabaki to the available list.

{TM Change}As Soul stated above Fullbringers should be allowed to be TM's, along with that Saika should also allowed to be the same as there doesn't seem to be an actual reason they can't

SPOILER: Click to show

{Weapon Master}Weapon master needs some love as it's drawbacks are both to harsh and goes against the types purpose. They should still have the Non release tech slot cut, 50% spiritual stat cut, and Melee based release techs. The 19 skill point drawback feels like too much, instead could it be made 16 Skill point total with 5 free points into a weapon skill of the persons choice? The less release techs also seems pointless as they should be focusing on what they could do with their weapon, could that be removed while keeping the Melee based release techs?

SPOILER: Click to show

{Saika}What I suggest here isn't a total rework of Saika is I personally believe they aren't that bad, I do however don't understand why Saika can't reach Class 0 when Hason can. I ask that they be allowed to, and to help with what they might gain, maybe when they reach Class 0 their release cost is halved, and for their other Class 0 bonus, could they finally not be required to wear the cloak and mask? I'm not suggesting their out of hell posts be extended as if they finally could drop the cloak and mask that would be doing something similar. If Class 0 is a no go than how about allowing them the choice of becoming a Hason at class 1? As Hason's are essentially a soul corrupted and twisted by their sin, thus the idea of a Saika becoming a Hason at Class 1 wouldn't be impossible.
