Physical Description:

Catty cares about her appearance, so she tries to keep herself clean and dressed enough to not be judged by others. Most of the time, she can be found wearing a black turtleneck sweater or some version of a black top. As someone who enjoys the color, black tends to comfort her, so she chooses shirts and dresses that accommodate her tastes. She has been described as somewhat of a goth, though she'd almost never agree, but the reason this is the case is because of the amount of black she wears. Again, it is all to flatter herself. She chooses this color because of her general cat motif and she has fun with it. So when she picks her shirts for the day, she will always go for dark. The sweaters especially highlight her petite body quite well, so when the cold weather finally hits, she can almost always be seen wearing one.

The pants she wears also vary, but she typically likes denim. When it is colder out, she can be seen wearing a myriad of denim pants that range from high-waisted to low-waisted. She tries to pair them well with the shirts she wears because she does value looking nice when she goes out in public. When it is warmer, she will wear denim shorts or even some version of workout clothing like leggings. She especially likes leggings since they show off her backside quite well, and as someone who likes exercise, Catty is always looking for an excuse to show off her body. It is not that she is particularly egocentric, but she is proud of the work she's done to make herself fit. If it gets shown off in her clothing, she is all about it. It also helps that she likes to conform to the vampire stereotype.

Any shoes she wears match her outfits perfectly, as well. As mentioned previously, she does care about her appearance. They are more than likely black, but it is not unusual for her to be seen wearing sandals or sneakers of some kind. She prefers fancier shoes to match some of her fancier outfits, but if she is in her black sweater and skinny jeans, she is generally wearing flats. Comfort matters to her, so while she prefers flats, she will be drawn to any shoe that does not cause her immense pain without sacrificing her fashion sense. This is all to put on a front. The front is that she is prim and proper, somewhat, when it comes to her appearance. This outweighs her overall sarcastic nature, and she goes out of her way to make herself seem significantly more friendly than she tends to be.

As for physical features, Catty has long black hair that fades into a lighter color towards the ends. This is not natural and she spends time at salons making sure her ombré is perfect at all times. Outside of the fade, she does have a few highlights that extend into her bangs. These cover her forehead and eyebrows, reaching down to just above her sky blue eyes. The length of her hair reaches to just above her hips and she enjoys keeping it long, so she rarely cuts it. Whenever she does, it is only ever a trim so she can keep the length. If she wishes for it to be out of the way of her face, then she'll wear her hair up in various ways such as buns or ponytails. She always wears her bangs down because she appreciates how they outline her face and light up her eyes. Since they are such a unique color and actually appear to have slit pupils, she does what she can to show them off. They seem to glow against her dark hair with her fair skin flattering them even more.

Her body, though petite, is actually very athletic. Her muscles are nicely defined and feminine without being too much. She looks as if she works out frequently, which makes sense since she does. She has little body fat, though still has enough to not risk any of her feminine downfalls. This is something she feels very mixed on. Catty definitely loves that her muscles can be shown off so easily, but she does not want to risk getting to the point where her hormones do not work properly. This is a constant struggle, though it is thankfully quite a minor one. It has not negatively impacted her breast size, for example, where she is a solid 28C cup. Her rib cage is small since her overall frame is also small, but she appreciates the fact that her genetics blessed her in this way.

Since Catty is a Bount and a lot of vampire lore originated due to them, there are a few features that she finds fun about herself in addition to the fact that it is easier to manage her figure. Her upper canines are pointed and slightly elongated enough to where biting someone would leave puncture wounds. Her eyes, blue in color, appear to shine when it is darker outside due to her heightened senses compared to any normal human. Her nails will be painted black most of the time. And, just because she likes them, she can occasionally be seen wearing cat ears whenever she feels like it. If not cat ears, she may sport a black bow on the top of her head to somewhat replicate the appearance of cat ears. Again, some people may label her as goth. She likes to think of herself as alternative.

Dislikes:
✖ - Surprises - Catty doesn't like being startled because it makes the hair on the back of her neck stand up. It takes her a long time to groom that back down, so she prefers for it to not happen in the first place.

✖ - Extremely Hot Climates - It goes without saying that she prefers the cold. She absolutely hates sweating.

✖ - Children - They are loud and never care enough to stay quiet. Catty finds them so irritating and never enjoys it when they are around.

✖ - Garbage - It stinks! She hates smelling it. She is always careful to keep wherever she goes clean.

✖ - Yelling - It makes Catty less likely to listen to people if they yell.

✖ - Restrictive Views - Catty loves being open-minded, so when people around her are not that way, she grows frustrated easily.

✖ - Pollen - Though not allergic, she hates that it gets everywhere. Pollen can be very hard to clean off, making it something Catty avoids.

✖ - Water - While she knows how to swim, being in water means she has to make sure she's groomed again once she is out of it. She does not mind the feeling of water on her skin but hates the maintenance.

✖ - Reading - In truth, reading is fine, but only if it's smut. Catty will never be found reading anything related to history or anything she deems boring.

✖ - Rudeness - She cannot stand when anyone is rude to her. She will immediately retort with something sarcastic.

✖ - Arrogance - Catty thinks everyone can get along if they just try, but some people like to brag too much about themselves. She finds this behavior unattractive.

✖ - Simple Minds - This Bount is a complex thinker. She always has been ever since she was little. Simple-minded people can seriously be a waste. She likes seeing progress.

✖ - Lying - People always have tells. The last thing Catty wants to learn is that someone is lying to her. It can be very hard to rebuild her trust.

✖ - False Accusations - Do not ever accuse Catty of something she did not do. She will go out of her way to prove her innocence and make her accuser's life miserable.

✖ - Birds - She hates them! They poop everywhere and cannot even understand simple words.

✖ - Dull Nails - She will frequently get manicures to make sure she is well-pampered and her nails are pretty.

✖ - Stray Hairs - Maybe it is a bit of a compulsion, but Catty has to immediately fix stray hairs. She understands they may get messed up from time to time, but when one just grows in a weird direction from the rest, she cannot stand it.

✖ - Being Ignored - She craves attention. If people ignore her when she is trying to get something from them, it makes her irritated.

✖ - Yarn Balls - Curse those things. They are so irresistible and she hates it. Catty finds it almost impossible to leave those things alone. Is it because of her Dolls?

✖ - Being Tired - This girl naps a lot. She enjoys sleeping and hates the feeling of her eyelids getting heavy from exhaustion.

❖ - Sarcastic - She is incredibly sarcastic all the time. It is probably her primary language. She means no harm by it, but that is how she talks.

❖ - Rude - Catty does not always know when she is hurting people's feelings, so she tends to come off as rude.

Goals:
Catty wishes to find her people and join a community who accepts her for who she is. She loves being a Bount and finds joy in it, but she understands that it can be difficult to be accepted by others. If she is able to find people who are like-minded or kind enough to bring her into their own lives, she will feel as if everything she had ever wanted has been fulfilled. Once that happens, she may entertain the curiosity she has over what a True Bount is and who may be one. Can there really only ever be a single True Bount? Maybe it could be Catty. Either way, she hopes to figure it out. In doing so, she wishes to learn more about her Dolls, build a good relationship with them, and continue on living her best life while selfishly attaining anything she sets her mind to.


Alignment: Chaotic Good


Overall Personality:
Catty is extremely adventurous. She loves going outside and exploring the world around her so long as it does not involve bugs or woods or anything like that. She much prefers the water and is more than willing to have fun in it, but she does not like the upkeep her hair requires afterwards. In addition to that, she is also very well-behaved and willing to cooperate. She has gone on many fun trips of her own to see what the world was like in her free time and she is looking forward to learning more about it. Even though she feels like her upbringing was pretty normal despite what she was, she appreciates the abilities she has since they make these things easier. This gives her an opportunity to learn about her kind. It gives her a bit of a distraction, as well, since she loves distractions. Anything around her that seems at all remotely fun will be attempted at least twice, because she knows her opinions may change over time.

She is also very curious. Many things seem to attract her and almost nothing is boring, though she tends to find herself more involved in active things. She is always up to the challenge of learning whatever she needs to, but this can sometimes lead to her downfall. Her curiosity occasionally throws her down a dangerous path because she loves to figure things out on her own, so she has to actively talk herself down if she ever finds herself in that type of a situation. Catty is normally able to determine what would be safe and what would not, but that does not mean she is always smart about it. Frequently, she allows her curiosity to "kill the cat," as they say, simply because she cannot resist a good investigation. She is determined and highly motivated, so she always tries to figure things out on her own. She prides herself in being able to solve the mystery and allows her desire to learn to take over. Even if she does not understand something, she will do everything in her power to educate herself.

"Determined" is another word that describes this woman. She hates to let anything get the best of her and enjoys taking on a new challenge. Knowing that she has a chance of completing any task is enough to motivate her. This can sometimes be bad since it means she takes things too far in the pursuit of completion, but that never matters to her. She is willing to risk time and do her best to finish whatever it is she decided to do and always holds up to her promises. She knows she has goals in life and, though she frequently has to remind herself of them, she is able to consistently strive for better things. Her determination may be seen as admirable by a few individuals if they ever got to know her since she can appreciate the effort it takes to remain this way. Not everyone is able to hold their own depending on the situation, but Catty refuses to fall into the same category. Knowing she can get something done and do it well always takes a priority, so if she's assigned some form of job or duty, she will always see it through.

Catty also has a tendency to be relatively sarcastic. It comes out naturally so it's fairly unavoidable most of the time. She tends to have an attitude about everything that disinterests her. In fact, she loves nothing more than to make a joke at someone else's expense. Even then, her sarcasm typically revolves around side comments that she does not always want other people to hear, and she tries to keep her voice down when she makes them. This does not mean she is afraid to speak openly. If she knows it will get a laugh, Catty enjoys making her comments out loud for others to hear. She is driven by praise and this behavior is no different. The laughter is a form of positive reinforcement that allows her to continue on with her joke, but she will stop if someone displays obvious dislike for what she says. The only time she does not take the feelings of others into consideration is if she does not like them. That is the main reason why she would actively say hurtful things to make them upset.

Catty loves everything fun and goes out of her way to enjoy life to its fullest. She will always have a smile on her face when she is doing something she loves and enjoys running around to do it. Catty is also significantly more motivated to get things done so long as it is fun or interests her. The last thing she wants is to experience anything particularly boring because that just means it will get dragged out. She has a problem with procrastinating if she fails to find an interest in whatever she is doing, so it is always a game to her. Even if the specific thing is not a game originally, she tries to find ways to make it one. This gives her more of an opportunity to bring out the best in the situation and herself. It allows her to give herself an opportunity to grow and to make what she is doing meaningful. On top of that, Catty will typically always be the first one to volunteer for something so long as it sounds fun or daring. She can be compared to a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

This lovely girl is also very well-taught. She is intelligent and takes learning very seriously. She enjoys being able to learn new things and has fun doing so, which only motivates her more. There are times when the material may be boring, but sometimes she knows she just has to suffer through it. Despite that, she knows that there is more out there than meets the eye. This intrigues her. Some things have led her down this path and she knows it, so she wants to try to learn as much as possible before moving on to the next task. This makes her very useful in investigative work. She tends to look for all of the clues and will not stop until she figures everything out. This also hints back to her determination. Catty is excitable and able to take on more material than she ever thought she could before each time she is faced with new challenges. Her eagerness to learn and her willingness to help allow her to be a formidable opponent. She takes first impressions seriously.

She also tries to be as careful as possible. This is not just in reference to the care she gives when handling fragile things or fragile people, but she is careful in general. She will always try to cover her steps if she is on some secretive mission and has a tendency to be very slightly paranoid. This can be both good and bad. Catty tries to not let that get the best of her, but from time to time it will shine through even her most courageous attitude. Despite that, she can be a genuinely good asset to any team because of her desire to remain alive and well. She will try her best to cover her teammates and help as much as possible so long as they do not betray her. If this ever happens, she will do everything within her power to make sure these traitors understand that they have wronged her. Because of this, she is also very careful about who she chooses to work with. Trust is a huge factor in her life and she values it very much. If she cannot trust someone, she will not do anything with them.

Finally, Catty is extremely driven. Her drive and ambition motivate her to do anything and everything. She believes there is not a thing in this world she cannot do and she values that quality about herself. Nothing is impossible - just challenging. These are words she lives by. Everything can be achieved so long as there is a will, and Catty definitely has this will do always do better than she ever did before. If someone manages to make her believe that what she is doing is the best path for her, then that is the path she will go down. She is not always so easily swayed, but if their goals align with hers, then they would make an excellent partner in her eyes. Additionally, this gives her a reason to strive to be the best. She has her own struggles, though not as bad as some, and she always wants to give herself reasons to improve. Being able to find flaws and make them better means she can always get stronger. This lights Catty's fire. If there were ever anyone who could define the word driven as its own personification, Catty would be the one.

Fighting Style:

Catty's typical maneuvers can be described as somewhat feline which is how she earned her nickname from a young age. She is a flexible woman and enjoys being able to sneak her way out of tight situations in ways most normal people are physically incapable. This took years of training in the arts of dance and gymnastics, though her physical prowess are not limited to her flexibility. She is strong, having frequented the gym enough to out-perform every woman she meets and even most men. This is largely due to her enhanced spiritual abilities gifting her with such strength, but that does not stop her from showing off whenever she gets the chance. In fact, because it is something she prides herself on, she has been known to enter competitions and have such star power compared to the other contestants that her victories are entirely unanimous.

She has fun with her fights. They are something she enjoys and it gives her a chance to use her intelligence and cunning in other ways. An avid gamer, Catty goes out of her way to test the gaming physics in the real world since she has more freedom to do so as a Bount. A lot of the video games she plays tend to have fighters perform some pretty impossible stunts, so the fact that she is able to copy them excites her. She has been known to mimic the fighting styles of various weapon masters from popular games such as Monster Hunter and League of Legends, especially. This does not mean she will not adapt if she is faced with an opponent who is clearly better than she is at any specific type of combat, so she tries to keep her options open when applicable.

Sarcastic and fun, Catty will also taunt her opponents as much as possible. She will pick and choose certain aspects about them and rip on them to rile them up. Though this can be quite rude, she gets a laugh out of it and does not seem to care at all if the opponent is not a fan. In fact, that only makes it more enjoyable for her because it means she's getting the reaction that she wants. If Catty succeeds with her taunts, she knows she can trip her opponents up since they will be too focused on her words. This is her goal, of course. If she is able to distract them, it gets her that much closer to winning. A distracted opponent is as good as dead, after all. Catty does not want to risk her own life if she can end another, or at least injure them severely.

She can also see the entertainment value in fights. She loves putting on a show, so Catty does her best to entertain anyone who is involved, including her opponent. She adds a bit of flare to her movements so that it is just enough to keep things interesting. As a dancer, she was trained from when she was little to always 'go big.' This means that she finds it fun to go all out, enjoying every moment of flexing her powers as much as possible. She has fun being a Bount and takes advantage of the natural enhancements she gets just by birth right. She doesn't mind getting backed into a corner because she finds it fun to try to figure ways out of it. To her, this can determine who wins in a fight, and she does like winning.

If she had to choose between defending herself and attacking, Catty would likely go with the former. Despite the fact that she likes challenges, she also values protecting herself at all costs. Most of the time, she can be seen using her Dolls for this purpose. They are always going to be there to make sure she does not get hurt and protect her as if they were her own children. Catty relies heavily on them and the use of techniques in order to take people down. Being hyper-analytical, she uses her experience to gauge when the best moment is to strike and has the expectation that her Dolls will be able to keep up with her plans. Having that bond is what keeps her team alive in deadly situations, so she will train with them frequently to ensure they are always alert.

Even though she prefers being on the defensive, her habits when being on the offensive stem from her observational skills. She chooses to tag-team with her Dolls in order to make her opponents feel less safe and be less likely to get away. She is able to trap them in such a way that will give her an advantage, so she will do her best to use her surroundings as much as possible. Always looking for a backup plan to her original plans, Catty is forever thinking about second and third options in case something does not work out. Her Dolls assist her in this, providing her with the capability to fight and also step back for a moment to come up with the next best thing. From there, she is able to regroup and move forward with other movements.

Her Dolls will also always try to use their abilities to work together as much as possible when Released. Their combined efforts matter when blocking attacks or delivering them. One Doll may choose to be the defender while the other is helping Catty deliver a blow, and perhaps they will switch jobs later on. Both Dolls get equally excited about these things as their Bount does, so the shared levels of adrenaline and other happy hormones make them formidable solely based on the fact that they genuinely enjoy themselves. Catty loves to give them praise when they do a good job and they love to receive it, so it is not uncommon for either Doll to try to out-shine the other in an attempt to gain her favor. Catty thinks this is fun, so she encourages it.

Finally, when faced with hand-to-hand combat, Catty is quick and light on her feet. She tries always to keep herself moving in an effort to stay away from her opponent while also giving herself an opening to attack or counter. She does not enjoy the thought of being hit and definitely does not enjoy being hit in practice, so she does what she can to avoid that. Having so many games to study makes movements like these enjoyable for her since, as previously mentioned, she tries to copy the characters. At the end of the day, all she wants to do is bring her nerdy alternate character into the real world so that she can play pretend. After all, the only thing she is really looking for is a way to goof off and turn things into her own game.


Doll 1 Appearance and Overall Ability:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Amon (Brave Type)}

In his sealed form, Amon is confined to a black headband with a pair of lacey cat ears on it. Released, he is a mix between a panther and a bat in the most deadly ways. His tail is long and covered in various shades of blue fur. The fur gathers in such a way that resembles scales, though it is actually quite soft to the touch. The tip of the tail is pure white, and spikes can be seen folded down against the fur. Amon's back legs and belly are the same color of blue, but the legs, arms, and underside of his body are all actually covered in scales. These scales are hard but not very sharp, unlike the talons at the ends of his paws on all four main limbs. The talons are not very long compared to the size of his body, perhaps only ten inches at the shortest. Each paw only has three digits aside from his front two which also have dew claws.

Amon is a large Doll standing at ten feet tall at the shoulders while on all fours. He is also about thirty feet long, primarily due to his massive tail. His muscles reflect how much strength is needed to give him the ability to move with such agility, so he has very toned arms and legs. His arms look relatively human aside from the massive paws and the webbing on the inner elbows. Attached to his arms are two wyvern wings with boning as sharp as any blade. Each arm has three of these blade-like bones with the middle ones on each arm being the largest at seven and a half feet. These blade bones are polished like metal and appear brighter than the rest of Amon's body.

His back and head are covered in a bright white fur that shines like the moon against the night sky. This fur is longer than the rest of the fur on his body and flows effortlessly in the wind. The fur that sits closest to Maverick's scales starts fading to blue on his head and neck. His ears are pointed with a bright red inside that extends to his similarly-colored eyes. His snout resembles a beak, but rather than sounding like a bird, his roar is nearly identical to a panther in the wild. He does have sharp teeth similar to a cat's, as well. When engaged in combat, the first blade bone folds inwards and exposes the larger one, making it available for use. Once enraged, the spikes on his tail stick straight out, and his eyes develop a piercing glow. Generally speaking, Amon is quite affectionate towards his Bount and refers to her as his mother.

This Doll has the capability of controlling wind and air. He can create air currents with his massive wings that can blow as strong and fast Amon's Strength and Speed, respectively, only rivaled by any category 5 hurricane. These winds are cast only in the direction the Doll chooses but spread out like a cone at 160 degrees for up to one thousand feet. While creating these currents, Amon must stay stationary in order to balance himself and keep himself steady for the duration of the move. In exchange, the force from the winds can cause even the strongest enemy to lose their footing and be blown away. Physical damage will also occur as the wind that blows slashes and cuts like thousands of foot-long knives.

Exposure to his winds for prolonged periods of time will make this ability more potent as the damage scales upwards. A single post of exposure will only cause minor lacerations, but these cuts will become fatal after five posts of continuous exposure as the opponent will experience potential limb loss. Every time the opponent is able to escape the winds, the counter will start over, but the injuries are still sustained. Because of this, exposure to the winds for 8 posts total regardless of them being continuous or not will result in fatal wounds. In order to be immune to these cutting winds, one of Amon's scales can be held.

Doll 1 Techniques:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Coup Aérien (Air Slash)}

Amon's slicing gusts now become more powerful and condensed. The slashes he creates begin at six feet wide but blow out to the full thousand feet that his original gusts can reach. They extend in width by three feet for every five feet of distance that they pass until the slashes are forty feet wide. These slashes are potent and can slice through even the toughest, thickest stone without much effort. The strength of these slashes is equal to Amon's highest Offensive Stat and move at a Speed of 800. While enemies with stronger Offensive Stats may be able to resist the cutting power, multiple hits of this attack will still slice through them. The air slashes cannot be separated in any way and will continue moving straight forward until they dissipate after 1000 feet.

Each air slash costs 50 Reiatsu, which means consecutive use of this ability can get costly very quickly when the enemy has a higher Offensive Stat than Amon. For anything with one-third his OS or less, Coup Eérien will slice clean through with no effort. Anything starting at one-third his OS or matching, Amon must hit them with this attack five times before it cuts through. Anything with an OS that is higher than Amon's, it takes ten hits of the technique before anything is cut through. Even if it requires more hits, this does not mean the cuts simply do not happen after the first attack. It just means the cuts are shallow and not fatal.

{Résonance Aérienne (Air Resonance)}

This technique utilizes the relationship that air has with sound to create a resonating effect. The spikes that Amon has on the tip of his tail can be launched up into the sky or at a target at 800 Speed, but once they hit anything, they stick and cannot easily be removed. If they get removed, Amon can choose to detonate these spikes at a cost of 25 Reiatsu and they will instantly explode into tiny pieces of shrapnel that cut into whatever they pierced. The explosion has no blast capabilities but instead acts similarly to an airbag being deployed, so while heat is generated, flames are not. While the spikes are able to cause piercing damage, their primary purpose is to create resonance within the air when Amon roars. As he roars, the spikes vibrate so intensely that the properties are imbued into whatever the spike pierced, causing it to resonate, as well. This vibration happens at such a high rate that the pierced object will ultimately lose structural integrity and crumble or disintegrate. Any person who is pierced will experience extreme discomfort and disorientation as their body is subjected to the resonance's vibration properties, making it difficult for them to react unless the spike is removed.

Résonance Aérienne costs 100 Reiatsu to use and only five spikes can be launched at once. As mentioned, detonating the spikes costs 25 Reiatsu each. Amon can either choose to launch the spikes straight up in the air or specifically at a target, but they land somewhat randomly, making them decently easy to dodge for anyone who moves faster than them. Once the spikes land, the resonance will not reach full power until the beginning of the following post. The area of effect is also only a radius of about 50 feet in any direction, but this does mean that the ground will start to disintegrate if that is what the spikes are attached to. If an opponent is pierced, they can simply remove the spike but must be careful since the spike they touch can still be detonated by Amon.

{Disparaître (Disappear)}

Amon has the ability to imitate air and become completely unheard and invisible aside from glowing red eyes. This technique is passive but automatically shuts off any time he attacks or defends outside of simply moving around. His Reiatsu signature also becomes obscured and cannot easily be detected. He is effectively non-existent, meaning he cannot be seen or sensed, by anyone who has less than 400 Energy Sensory unless his technique is inactive due to the specified reasons. He does have the ability to become visible whenever he chooses outside of the specified reasons, as well.

Drawbacks: Despite being passive, this technique has a cost. When Amon is summoned, he may choose one time when to activate this technique during the thread. Once activated, 150 Reiatsu is deducted from his pool and the technique will remain active throughout the remainder of the thread. Any time he is visible, he is also able to be sensed. The two cannot be activated separately. The only exception to this rule is for anyone with at least 400 Energy Sensory because even if they cannot see him, they can sense him.

{Courant de Vent (Wind Current)}

By controlling wind currents, Amon can manipulate any projectile-like attack and change its flow so long as it is minimum two Classes lower than Amon's. This includes virtually anything outside of melee-based moves. The attack, once caught by Amon's gusts, can be redirected anywhere he wishes without restrictions. Nothing about the attack changes and it still holds all of its original properties. All this ability does is change where it is going. He could choose to redirect it off to the side so that it avoids its intended target or even send it back toward the user. There is no other limit of use in terms of what types of attacks he can redirect.

Drawbacks: This technique cost is equal to 75% of the cost of the attack being manipulated (so a technique that costs 100 Reiatsu being thrown at him is manipulated for 75 instead) and an additional 50 Reiatsu if Amon chooses to change the attack's direction mid-flow. This change can only be done once per use of Courant de Vent.

{Brise Tranchante (Slicing Breeze)}

Amon has a step technique that is unique to him. When in use, he completely loses his material form and takes on the slicing properties of his Overall Ability, slicing anything in his path. He can ride the breeze and even move through people as if he were nothing but air since that is essentially what he becomes. Amon has no attack capability when in this form and must materialize once again if he wishes to fight in melee combat or use any of his other techniques. He can move at 7x his Speed Stat after Type and the breeze that is created once he takes this form is equal to half his overall body proportions. The slicing that this form causes is equal to fairly significant lacerations all over whatever it is he passes through. These lacerations are generally no deeper than two inches.

Drawbacks: The cost for this technique is 50 Reiatsu and Amon's usage counts against Catty's step tech limit per post. The form can only be maintained during the step and Amon automatically materializes once the technique has been completed. He cannot change direction during use since that would require an additional "step" even though he is in air form.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Tornades Dansantes (Dancing Tornadoes)}

By beating his massive wings, Amon can create powerful gusts that twist into dangerous tornadoes. These tornadoes grow to be 300 feet tall, 200 feet at the top, then comes down to 10 feet as the cone reaches the ground. He can build up to five tornadoes at once, but each tornado must be active for a single post before a new one can be added. This means there can never be more than five active at once but there can be as few as one. The tornadoes contain a powerful slicing ability that is even stronger than Amon's Overall Ability, causing painful lacerations and even limb loss to anyone with two-thirds Amon's Offensive Stat or less. Anything with an Offensive Stat more than that will still experience cuts that are a minimum of two inches deep. This is on top of the powerful winds that can catch and throw opponents as they get worked up through the tornadoes' funnels and spat out elsewhere. Anyone within 20 feet of the bottom of any tornado will be subjected to this phenomenon as they are pulled into the storm. Once the winds of the tornado touch anything, the slicing effect is put into place. The direction of the tornadoes can be controlled by Amon as they move at 1200 Speed.

Drawbacks: This technique costs 700 Reiatsu to use and lasts for a max of 7 posts, but Amon must remain in one place while he uses it. He also cannot use this technique more than once per thread. The control he has over the tornadoes is somewhat loose, meaning it takes a significant amount of effort to maneuver them and they do not turn on a dime.

Doll 2 Appearance and Overall Ability:

{Maverick (Freak Type)}

Maverick is large like Amon. At the shoulders, he is about seventeen feet tall. From the tip of his snout to the end of his tail, he is twenty-four feet long. His body lacks any fur and is instead covered in purple and red scales on the top of his body and belly, respectively. Where there is any yellow detail, it is typically the edge of something sharp, be it armor-like skin or blades along his forelegs and the tip of his tail. The horns at the top of his head are also sharp and stick out from either side of his face from what would normally be his eyebrows. His fangs are massive and stuck out of his mouth for the most part with small cat-like teeth between them on the inside of his mouth.

Each of his forelegs has a yellow blade that is normally folded in against the leg itself. When fighting, Maverick will extend this blade similarly to Amon and use it simply by flexing his muscles. Maverick, violent and possessive, finds every opportunity to corner his prey and slice them up before ripping them apart with his sharp teeth. His tail also contains three blades that can spread out like a trident or stay tucked together like a spear. He may use that, along with his claws, to attack his victims. His roar is loud and menacing, mixed between that of a lion and a dragon. He takes pride in protecting his Bount.

He is also quite muscular like his Doll brother, often described as a monster of sorts, but tends to be very kitten-like and sweet around his Bount. When enraged, on the other hand, his top two fangs grow significantly and resemble sabertooth tiger tusks. His body becomes more rigid like a cat puffing itself up to appear frightening. The blades on his legs will remain extended. Bright purple flames light up his back, the tip of his tail, and his forelegs. These flames are purely for aesthetic purposes and possess no other properties, but to the unknowing opponent, they certainly seem like they could cause pain. Like Amon, Maverick refers to Catty as his mother.

Maverick's Overall Ability is to increase the temperature of the world around him within a given space. This space has a 200-foot radius in all directions, which means the increases in heat will be applied to absolutely everything within that area, including the ground. Maverick's body emits a fire that causes this power to come to life and it burns constantly, raising the temperature by 20° Celsius each individual post. This effect is most potent within 25 feet of his body where the temperature starts at 150° Celsius and does not increase further. For every 50 feet further away from him, the degree change decreases by 5. Between 25 and 50 feet away from his body, the temperature increase is only 20°C. Between 50 and 100 feet, it's 15°C. Between 100 and 150 feet, it's 10°C. Finally, between 150 and 200 feet, it's 5°C.

This effect only lasts until the overall temperature increase for any of the above areas reaches 150° Celsius. The increases happen every post, regardless of turn. They don't only occur on Catty's posts. If these heat effects are to be avoided, then Maverick can choose to create safe pockets within his area of effect. Since 10° Celsius equals 50° Fahrenheit, fairly simple math can be done to determine how long it takes to get to dangerous temperatures. Generally speaking, once these temperatures reach 150° Celsius (or about 300° Fahrenheit), they are fatal within a matter of moments. An average human can only survive for about ten minutes in such conditions while their body's cellular structure deteriorates and dies, but for anyone spiritually-inclined, they can withstand such heat for two posts before their body suffers damage.

Doll 2 Techniques:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Poudre Éclatée (Destructive Powder)}

Maverick is able to release a blast powder from his body that spreads across the entire area that his heat is affected by. This powder can be detonated at any time but only for explosions that are five feet radially. The powder scatters passively and settles to the ground within a single post, but this does not mean it is stuck to the ground once this happens. It can be disturbed and spread again, and he causes new dustings automatically. Each blast that Maverick makes costs 25 Reiatsu and increases the temperature of the 200-foot radial area by 5° Celsius, which means if he detonates twice in a single post, the temperature rises by 10° Celsius in addition to the automatic 20° Celsius. These explosions also have blast power equal to Maverick's highest Offensive Stat. Opponents can still be subjected to harsh burns, regardless.

Drawbacks: Maverick can only detonate five times per post. These detonations can only occur wherever the powder is, which means they cannot spontaneously happen inside solid objects unless the powder was to slip into them somehow. Maverick has a physical tell that he is going to detonate this powder, and that is holding his tail straight up in the air and waving it as if it were a wand.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Lames de Cautérisation (Cauterization Blades)}

The blades on Maverick's arms and the tip of his tail are sharp, making them effective in combat from the start. Using this technique, though, he is able to ignite these three areas, covering them in bright purple flames as they become hyper-sharpened and superheated. The durability of these blades and tail tip are equal to three times that of his highest Offensive Stat in this state only. The areas, themselves, become an absolutely shocking 6000° Fahrenheit, but this heat is not felt at all unless someone comes into direct contact with them. The reason for the extreme heat is because the blades and tail tip become similar to tungsten in how they are able to withstand the heightened temperature. All areas have sharp blades that can cut through anything and burn it so quickly that it seems to disintegrate. This technique is how Maverick can go toe-to-toe with close-range and general melee-based abilities. All areas are able to detonate the powder that Maverick releases from his body upon contact. For an additional cost, he can also use his tail to create a large blast of explosive power that shoots out at a Speed of 1000 in a single straight line for up to 200 feet. This blast matches Maverick in overall size but extends to the full length of 200 feet before dissipating. Its power is also equal to his highest OS.

The effectiveness of his blades strengthens every post by 50% of his OS until four posts when it is 3x his OS. The high temperatures expose the Release weapons to the heat extremes and cause them to superheat, as well. This can bring on severe injury and burns almost immediately unless the opponent has points in Heat Tolerance that scale as follows: Class 6-5 requires 1 Rank, Class 4-3 requires 2 Ranks, Class 2 requires 3 Ranks, and Class 1 requires 4 Ranks. The Release weapons will not be destroyed. They will simply get dangerously hot. There are also costs involved with this technique's abilities. The cost to activate the blades and tail's flames is 50 Reiatsu, and the cost to use the blast is 200 Reiatsu. To maintain the blades, there is an additional cost of 50 Reiatsu per post after the first activation. The blast can only be used twice per thread. Maverick has a tell before he uses it, similarly to the tell he has when he detonates the powder on his own. His tail will raise straight up in the air and glow before he finally lowers it to unleash the attack.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Chambre Magmatique (Magma Chamber)}

In an effort to become difficult to attack, Maverick can coat his body in a layer of magma that melts anything that touches him. This magma seeps from his pores and gathers somewhat like an armor, but it drips on to things and can be tossed like water off of someone's hand. The magma layer appears as soon as the technique is activated with no time needed to gather enough of it to coat him and stays on his body for as long as he wishes. This magma can be used to detonate the powder that he emits, as well. It has the ability to instantly melt things like steel and cause severe damage to opponents. The potency of this magma is also as strong as Maverick's highest Offensive Stat. It also provides protection against Reiatsu-based attacks that are a lower Offensive Stat that Maverick's.

Drawbacks: This technique costs 100 Reiatsu to activate and an additional 50 Reiatsu per post that it remains active. Anyone who has two times Maverick's highest Offensive Stat can instantly bypass this magma, but only their weapons and armor. They are still subject to burns and pain from the heat that comes from it. If Maverick chooses to throw any of it, he cannot throw all of it at once. It would be similar to getting splashed with water. He relies on the instant heat and flames to do the rest.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Riposte Infernale (Infernal Riposte)}

Maverick has the ability to use a counterattack when faced with immediate danger. This counterattack is automatically set off if one of two conditions are met. The first condition is through melee combat. If Maverick is personally taking on an opponent and they use a physical attack against him, the ability will activate automatically so long as the Doll counters in a way that is not related to any of his other techniques. For example, if someone swings a sword at him and he wishes to counter, he must do so using a physical part of his body, such as his tail or one of his massive paws. Once the clash happens, Maverick immediately slashes his tail down and slams it against the opponent, setting off a massive explosion that reaches twice his size. In addition to the explosion, three waves of flames shoot out in a direct straight line whichever way Maverick is facing that gauge out the ground for up to 200 feet. These waves are each three feet wide and extend to be about five feet apart from each other, moving at 800 Speed. The waves are also able to detonate any dust that Maverick has in their paths. The second method of setting this technique off occurs if an enemy attempts to strike Maverick from behind with a Reiatsu-based attack of any kind. Though the catalyst changes slightly, the counter remains exactly the same. He will send his technique in the direction of the opponent and it cannot change its course.

Drawbacks: The automatic activation of this technique causes Maverick to instantly use 200 Reiatsu every single time. He cannot activate this technique on its own and it is solely a counter-move. It can be used multiple times within the same post but can get expensive very quickly if that's done.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Étape D'incinération (Incineration Step)}

In order to somewhat keep up with faster opponents, Maverick has his own step technique, as well. This technique gives him the ability to move in a single straight line per activation at 7x his Speed Stat after Type. During each activation, Maverick first bursts with explosive, bomb-like energy that spreads out to about five feet off his body. This burst has high heat and flames, since it is like a bomb, so it can hurt if someone or something gets hit by it. It also signals Maverick's move. The burst, acting as a catalyst, launches Maverick in a single straight line in any direction he chooses. This straight line is also outlined in flames that last for the remainder of the post. The burst and the flames that are created by this technique are able to detonate the dust he releases.

Drawbacks: The cost for this technique is 50 Reiatsu and Maverick's usage counts against Catty's step tech limit per post. Maverick's movement during this technique is restricted in such a way that he is only able to move in a single straight line, though the distance is entirely up to him. He cannot activate other techniques while he uses this one.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Cataclysme (Cataclysm)}

Maverick's ultimate move is simple yet powerful. His form becomes entirely made of only flames that burn at 300° Celsius. After his body transforms, he is immune to all physical attacks since he is made of fire, and Reiatsu-based attacks lose their efficacy by half. That means that the Offensive Stat that is powering the attack is also considered halved. This flame form lasts for only three posts before exploding in a massive blast that expands out at the full 200-foot radius, causing generous amounts of structural and fundamental damage to anything caught within it. It also automatically detonates all explosive powder that Maverick dusts the area with. This blast is so strong, though, that Maverick loses his physical body entirely and must rebuild himself over the course of three posts.

Drawbacks: This technique is costly. Like Amon, Maverick's ultimate takes 700 Reiatsu to use and Maverick can only use it once per thread. During the three posts that he must rebuild his body, he is completely incapable of using any techniques or attacking at all since he is no longer a physical form. Maverick is capable of movement in his flame form but detonates in a single place and regenerates in that same place. He cannot move until the end of the third post.

History:

Introduction:

Born in Paris, Catty grew up enjoying the culture of art, fashion, and romance. Both of her parents were Bounts, so she knew from a young age exactly what she was and who she was going to be. Her mother trained her as much as possible but also valued giving her a normal life, so she did everything she could to make sure Catty felt loved and nurtured. She attended private school all her life, which in turn made her fairly sheltered, but her mother was able to teach her about the truths of the world without stealing her childlike innocence. It wasn't until Catty got older that she began forming her own opinions and decided to leave her family and explore. Having not developed her abilities until she was an adult, Catty struggled a bit when it came to dealing with other spiritual beings, relying on the training her mother gave her during all those years. It wasn't until quite some time later that she would end up in Japan, experiencing the world that hid beneath the humans' noses at its fullest.

{Chapter 1}

As a child, Catherine Noir was always energetic and loved to have fun. She played, laughed, and enjoyed life as much as she could. Her parents, ever-supportive, were affectionate and careful with their daughter's upbringing so that she could be as human as possible around her friends. It was simple for the three of them, and they made a complete family. Catty's parents were both professional bakers and owned their own shop in the heart of the city. This made it easier for Catty to walk to and from school no matter where she went since all of them were close by. This location was intentional because their bakery was a popular space for kids and families to hang out. Her parents saw the opportunity and took it, hoping that Catty would be able to make friends easily. This would prove successful, and Catty would eventually grow to have many people who loved her as much as she loved them.

Being adventurous, the young girl often got into trouble. While not necessarily punishable, Catty would still do things that made her parents worry about her safety. She would go to the river and hang off the bridge, catch rides on random boats that passed by, wander around the city at night, and various other activities that normal kids tried to avoid. Since Catty knew what she was, she was fully aware that it would be difficult for her to get caught or hurt. Her parents tried to convince her that she needed to keep her abilities to herself, only being able to expose any hint of them as she played sports. They also tried to make her understand that not everybody was the same as she was. While this was a difficult concept for Catty to grasp at first, it didn't take long before she adjusted and decided her parents were right. She was going to have to try to be a normal human.

At school, she always sat still and paid attention to her teachers. She slowly started to develop an attraction towards the male students, having a few crushes throughout her younger years. Some of these feelings were reciprocated, and some of them weren't. Catty would still offer friendship whenever anything further wouldn't work out, and she never let any boy distract her from her studies. Her mom was constantly reminding her about how important education could be, and she made that her priority. Thus, day in and day out, she took extensive notes, scored high on her exams, and continued on. She grew to be competitive with her classmates, developing several rivalries among them. They pushed her to do even better every single day, so she appreciated them. These rivals would also become her friends, giving her the support to continue to do well in school and eventually work to reach her dreams.

Aside from her school life, Catty loved to be social. She started to become a bit sarcastic from a young age, but her friends all thought it was funny. She enjoyed making everyone laugh, so she took as many opportunities as she could to do so. After not very much time, she became popular for her dark humor and somewhat light-hearted jokes, and was able to target her audience quite well. The other students laughed along with her, making her very popular. This popularity lasted only up until her middle school years, and that was when some of the other girls began to treat her poorly out of jealousy. She never understood why they did this, hoping she could get them to stop, but they persisted. It wasn't until she came home crying for her mom that her mom decided it was time to truly train her daughter.

{Chapter 2}

"You have to watch your stance, mon petit chaton. You can't expect to be able to defend yourself properly if you're sloppy."

"Oui, Maman. But when am I ever going to have to use this? Aren't we trying to blend in with society or something?"

Thinking for a moment, Catty's mother shifted her weight and held her index finger against her right cheek. Her daughter was right. When did she get so smart? She was still so young and yet was able to have conversations like these with her own mother. To say she was proud of Catty was an understatement. Here she was, only eleven, and already showing great signs of strength. It was hard for her mother to try to hide her feelings, but she didn't want Catty to get any kind of big ego out of their successful training sessions. Truthfully, it wasn't just the fact that they needed to defend themselves that brought these sessions on. Catty's mother remembered her own struggles growing up being what she was and desperately wished for her daughter to have a different experience.

"Ah, yes, you're right. We are trying to blend, but that doesn't mean you can ignore your heritage. You are a Bount. You are special, and not like any of your human friends. You were born into this and I have to make sure you're ready for your future. That, and be able to summon your own Dolls some day."

Yes, her Dolls. Traditionally, Catty's family all had cat-themed Dolls. Her mother's only Doll acted as the house cat but could change her form at will. She was never sealed and either followed her master unconditionally or was asked to stay at home to guard Catty while she and her husband were away. Catty's father's Doll resembled a lion and typically remained sealed. He was much more quick to enter combat than her mother, so it was only natural that he would want to keep his Doll on him whenever he went out. The Doll's sealed form was inconspicuous enough, so he never brought attention to himself. This was how the two of them protected their daughter while also trying to protect themselves.

"Selina, we may have to cut this practice short. You and I have customers, you know."

Interrupted by her husband, Selina smiled at Catty and turned to face him. "Alright, Logan. You win. I'll work." With a sigh, she turned and left.

Logan grinned, giving an apologetic look to his daughter before inviting her to go play. While he knew how important her training could be, they also had their shop to worry about. Catty, now happy that she was saved from even more sweat by her father, mouthed 'thank you' and went off to do her own thing. The family was close and they found it easy to get along. Selina constantly wished for Catty to become the strongest, wondering when she would ever finally gain access to her Dolls and the rest of her power. Perhaps it was too early to tell since she was still just a child, but Selina held on to the hope that it would be sooner rather than later. For now, she focused on these evening sessions, working on her stability and giving her access to whatever fighting knowledge she and her husband gathered over the years.

Their bakery was attached to their house on the corner of the street, but their yard was a large grassy area where another building would have been if someone else owned the land. Privacy fences lined the edges, making it difficult for people passing by to watch their training. For more in-depth sessions, Selina would often bring her daughter to the basement to avoid any prying eyes at all. They had this property built in a very specific way to give them a chance to express themselves without exposing themselves to the public. It was Selina's idea to do this, and Logan had no qualms. Actually, it helped whenever either parent had frustrations they needed to vent, as well, since the basement could handle such powerful attacks. Catty would go down there with them just to watch and eventually grew to be jealous that she couldn't perform the same way. This only lasted a few years, though. Eventually, she was able to keep up.

{Chapter 3}

Over the years, Catty grew into a beautiful long lady. Her mother still referred to her as her 'petit chaton' every chance she got, but that never bothered her. In fact, that was how she got her nickname. She was rarely ever called 'Catherine' anymore and almost strictly went by 'Catty.' Her group of friends grew as she went to high school and gone were the tough days of middle school. Kids stopped being as horrible to her, making fun of the color of her hair and eyes. These were things she couldn't control, but that just meant it was easy to pick on. Actually, the light bullying was what stemmed the introduction to her family training sessions the most. Selina couldn't stand to see her little girl upset, so she gave her a chance to join various dance groups and even take on some MMA classes. That, along with teaching her what it meant to be a Bount, allowed Catty to develop in ways her classmates could only dream of.

Her high school life was fairly average, though. She had next to no exposure to the spiritual world aside from the occasional Shinigami or Fullbringer that her parents would serve in the bakery. They all seemed friendly, so Catty found it odd whenever stories of mean ones would come up at dinner when her parents talked about their pasts. She learned about the various races and what they could do from what her parents knew about them, but even that information was limited. The friends that they had who happened to be a part of the other races shared what information they could, so Catty knew a decent amount about them, but it still wasn't enough. She started wishing she could learn more and get involved in their world. Like, why could Shinigami be seen only sometimes by certain people? And even so, they could use a fake body and be seen by everybody if they needed to. Why did they have to do that?

"Maman, instead of our usual training today, can you teach me a bit about the other races again? I've been so curious and I'd like to know more."

"Of course, mon petit chaton. I'm actually glad you asked. You see, I'm a bit sore from yesterday because you've been improving so much lately that you're beginning to catch up to even me physically. Have you looked in the mirror lately?"

In truth, yes, she had. Catty had grown to be quite fit. She was still very feminine, but her stomach had a beautiful definition and her arms and legs were very strong. Her waist was small, and even she had to admit that she was proud of how her butt looked in yoga pants. This is what happens when you go so many years working out every day. She would get rest days, of course, but she was still expected to stretch during that time. Selina and Logan were also very fit, which was obviously natural given the fact that they were Bounts and had to be in their best physical condition. Despite the fact that Catty was just sixteen at this point, she was already getting attention from older boys because of how she looked and she had to reject them frequently. It made her ego inflate, but she still rejected them. She didn't want a distraction before she got into college.

Right, college. She was still trying to figure out what she was going to do. She could choose to travel or stay close to home, and she knew her parents wished for her to be close. Though that made the most sense, especially given that she still didn't have any Dolls of her own, Catty began looking into local universities and any that were still within France. She didn't think it was her time to travel just yet, but she was already looking forward to the freedom she would have as an adult. She only wished she'd be viewed as ready in the eyes of her parents and feared that they would be over-protective unless she could prove she was capable of defending herself. How long would it be before her Dolls would awaken? How long did that take? Whenever she asked her mom and dad, they both admitted that it had been forever since they were unlocked for either person. Catty learned quickly to stop asking. She never thought about how old her parents could possibly be since they looked so young. That, and didn't seem to age at all.

{Chapter 4}

Now into her young adulthood, a twenty-one-year-old Catty was busy enjoying the end of her college career. Choosing to study software engineering frustrated her parents since they wished for her to take over the bakery one day, but they later came to understand why she took this path. If the world was going to become more technologically advanced, it made sense for her to get into something that would only help her. After all, she was trying to blend in. And she was reaching the point of her life where she would stop physically aging. Her parents both still looked like they could pass for late twenties or early thirties, so they had to dress in ways that would age them up. Selina even colored her hair to make herself appear older, and they considered moving their bakery. Catty protested this notion, saying it didn't matter how they looked and they could decide on that later. For now, it made more sense for them to stay. Logan and Selina agreed, so they remained on their little corner in the middle of Paris.

"Logan, I'm worried about our daughter. She hasn't been able to call forth her Dolls at all and can't even fully communicate with them yet. Does she not have any?"

"I believe she does. It's tough to say, though. It's clear that she is very physically capable after all this time, but if she can't use any Dolls, what would that mean for her?"

"We have fought for so long to have a proper place in the world and we finally found people who accept us, even if they're not human. I don't want her to suffer through any discrimination."

"She won't. She's tough, and she has you as a mother. I think that's enough to make her strong."

Little did they know that Catty had been listening. Was it really so odd that she didn't have Dolls yet? Was this truly so uncommon? She'd heard of other Bounts younger than she was who could call forth their Dolls, but was she seriously so abnormal for not being able to yet? Clearly, there was a disconnect. Maybe she wasn't fully Bount. Maybe she was a mix or something. That didn't make much sense, though. Her parents were both definitely Bounts. So why couldn't she do the simplest thing? Compared to normal humans, the only advantage she has is physical. She didn't have any other abilities that she knew of aside from the typical feeding thing that her kind had to do in order to sustain themselves, and that had grown so normal over the years that she rarely even counted it as special. What did she need to do in order to better herself? She couldn't rely on Paris to give her that.

As time went on, she began researching places where she could go. Her friends had all graduated, as did she, and they were figuring out where their future homes would be. With the information she gathered from her parents and regular customers, she came to realize that Japan was somehow a magnet for the spiritual world. It wasn't uncommon to see spiritual beings in other places, and that was how she met the ones she knew, but Japan was on a completely different scale. If she was going to discover herself and develop her powers more, she started thinking she needed to go there. She started throwing out hints to her parents that she'd like to move to Japan, and they originally ignored their daughter. They were still focused on having her run the bakery, but she knew she needed to leave in order to get stronger. Staying in Paris just wasn't going to cut it for her anymore.

"Guys, I'll be fine. I'm not a kid anymore, and you know I can take care of myself. You need to let me go."

With sadness in their hearts, Logan and Selina first looked at each other before looking back at Catty, knowing completely that she was right. She had made a good argument moments before, and even put together a presentation. Honestly, it was impressive. They knew it would just be hard to let go of the little girl she once was, but this was also for her own benefit. As their faces betrayed them and worry began forming in their eyes, Catty softened and promised them that she would visit frequently. That, and she would come back home once she was done with her journey. She added on that she knew they were old as hell and couldn't survive without her, to which both parents laughed and Selina playfully smacked Catty's shoulder. Ultimately, they came to an agreement and loosened the reigns a bit for their daughter. She was right. She wasn't a kid anymore.

"Alright, mon petit chaton. You may go. But you have to come back some day."

With delight in her eyes, Catty replied, "I will. I promise."

{Chapter 5}

Now living in Karakura, Catty was able to find an apartment that was oddly spacious for its rent. It was a newer building, and she called this unit home for many years. She enjoyed living in the town, taking note of the people around her, and realizing there were more spiritual beings than she ever could have imagined existing. Paris didn't have this large of a population of such types of people, and she had even run into other Bounts in the area. She shied away from talking about her lack of Dolls and simply discussed other abilities. It was tough for her as she exposed herself to these people, hiding her insecurities with sarcasm and other jokes. The sarcasm had developed over the years and had only gotten worse, though she was able to avoid truly offending most people. They didn't take it to heart, thankfully, though a few normal humans didn't totally appreciate it. Only once or twice did she have to put people in their place after they tried to pick a fight with her.

Her Japanese and English were also flawless, having learned English at school in Paris and picking up Japanese after years of living in the country. She never let go of her French and the accent had a tendency of showing itself when she spoke English, occasionally slipping in some French words. This still allowed her to get to know people and make some friends to help avoid the feeling of being alone. Catty called her parents almost weekly, giving them updates and admitting to them that she still had no idea how to summon her Dolls, but she held on to the hope that it would happen one day. She just needed to find the right person to lead her in the best direction. That part was proving to be difficult, though. Of the Bounts she'd met, none seemed to be as much of a beginner as she was. She never felt comfortable exposing her truth to them, so she waited until she could meet someone who wouldn't judge her.

In the meantime, she adopted two cats; one black and one calico, and continued to explore the country. She adored seeing the cherry blossoms in the spring, hated the crazy weather, but really appreciated the snowy winters. Something about this place was calling to her more than ever and she was determined to figure out why. With every new step she took, she felt closer to figuring out how to unlock her abilities and finally go back to her parents as the Bount daughter they knew she could be. She had no idea when this would happen and began growing impatient, but she was still excited at the possibilities. And while the traveling was certainly fun, she still had to work a typical day job, but her degree allowed her to work remotely. So at least she could spend the day with her cat babies.

That was an interesting thought. Two cat babies. Why was it that people referred to their pets as their kids these days? Was there something about them that made them a child equivalent? Catty certainly saw them that way, but she never would have thought that other people would feel the same. Actually, it was a little shocking. Plants were the new pets, pets were the new kids, and kids were exotic animals that were too expensive for average people to have anymore. The thought made the woman laugh. If there was ever a time she could finally meet her Dolls, she promised herself she'd care for them as if they were her own children. Maybe then, they would reveal themselves. Maybe then... but how soon would it be?

[Kitai Yoru]

Well hello there! I shall be your first grader. I'm sure things won't go catastrophically.

Your appearance and personality seem to be in purrfect order, so I'll move onto powers.

Amon: While I don't like your overall being an attack, I suppose it works in this case.

Coup Aérien: I would like the mechanics in the drawback to be moved to the ability itself, as they aren't so much drawbacks as simply explaining what these winds do and don't cut. Otherwise I'm okay with this.

Résonance Aérienne: I would prefer the 100 reiatsu cost be moved out of the drawback, as well as the area that they affect. And to cat nip that in the bud, fifty feet in any direction feels like a lot for this move. That and a clarification that opponents won't also be shaken down for their atoms. Or to their atoms.

Disparaître: I do not have good experiences with invisibility, and maybe that's tainting my view of this, but I'm going with the assumption that the eyes are going to be fairly easy to spot, if you can use it at all when flying due to your overall. Just remove the step technique portion from this, and I'll call it alright.

Courant de Vent: I'm none too comfortable with what is effectively Redirection for 100-150 reiatsu. Either increase the cost of this to at least 200, and clarify what you mean by mid-flow.

Brise Tranchante: I'm fine with this.

Tornades Dansantes: 4x speed controlled tornados. Absolutely not. This also contradicts itself in the drawback in how many times you can use it. I'm fine with the rest of this technique as is, but reduce the speed to 600 if you want to control them, or don't control it and reduce it to somewhere around 1,200 speed.

Maveric I'd be lion if I said this one doesn't sound a loose cannon. Too hot to handle, too. Like, way too hot, because a 200 foot aoe kill zone is a no, especially without resistances, be it Heat Tolerance or otherwise.

Poudre Éclatée: Oh wow, I was leopard-spot on! And this technique says the radius is 300, while the overall says 200. I'm mostly fine with this. The scaling on the temperature might be a touch strong, but given you can only place the powder once a post, I'm fine with that. Also, clarify at what OS these explosions use, since they seem to be the bread and butter of your techniques.

Lames de Cautérisation: But what switch to Fahrnyanheit? Also, no. 50 reiatsu for 3x blades is far too little, especially when it can break release weapons so easily. Does the explosion also have 3x RS?

Chambre Magmatique: I'd be willing to accept 2x.

Riposte Infernale: So, a roughly 40 foot tall explosion, with a 54 foot diameter? I don't have a problem with that, just clarifying. Also, I would prefer a set speed for the fireballs. Other than that, I think I'm okay with this.

Étape D'incinération: Clarify what you mean by instant move. If you are talking about Riposte Infernale, then I think that's fine.

Cataclysme: I don't think I have too much of a problem with this, other than it maxing your overall with one move, which just goes back to the lack of resistances that your overall has. I'm fine with this, though it should probably just kill your doll.

History: What a miraculous read.

Let me know when you've made changes.

[Catty Noir ♦]

Coup Aérien: I removed "Drawbacks" from the entire technique so that it became just one big thing!

Résonance Aérienne: Took out "Drawbacks" from this one, too! Also added a sentence at the end of the first paragraph that says "Any person who is pierced will experience extreme discomfort and disorientation as their body is subjected to the resonance's vibration properties, making it difficult for them to react unless the spike is removed." Also, the 50-foot limit in any direction just means he can't throw it further away from HIMSELF than 50 feet, so he's the center. Remember when I compared it to a 53' semi truck trailer? In reality, it's not too big of an area.

Disparaître: Just like the video of Lucent Nargacuga that I sent you! I removed the step technique part. The intention here is that he's visible for basically any attack- or defense-based movement or anything that involves charging Reiatsu.

Courant de Vent: (Since this was discussed through Discord, I'll put here what we talked about) Limited the technique to work against attacks at Class 3 or lower, made the cost of Amon's technique worth 75% of the original cost of the move being manipulated, and added a limit of "once per use of Courant de Vent" for changing the direction, meaning he can pay 50 Reiatsu once per use of his own technique to alter the direction of the attack he's throwing back at the opponent. If he throws it straight the first time, he can pay once to make it turn to the left instead, but then that's it. It either hits his target or it doesn't and he has to try all over again.

Tornades Dansantes: Okay we can make the tornadoes 1200 speed because I'm an idiot, duration down to 5 posts, and will add a caveat that controlling multiple at once is incredibly taxing and requires a lot of concentration!

Maverick Overall: Hmm.. I'd like to keep the overall ability the same because he does still have temperature limitations, despite the temperature being what it is. I'm happy to lessen the AoE significantly, though. 25 feet?

Poudre Éclatée: I'm literally dying with the cat puns LOL. Since I'll likely be dropping the AoE of the overall, can this stay where it is? It would be particularly effective within his AoE and just obviously mildly increase temperatures outside of it. Also, not that I mind specifying, but we don't normally ask for anyone to choose like that. Well, I know I haven't, but that's just me. Would you still prefer I do?

Lames de Cautérisation: I switched it because it's so hard to keep converting between that and Celsius, ha! I can keep it consistent. Just trying to make our foreign friends happy. That would mean in Celsius it's 3316 degrees. Not as much of a round number... Anyways, what if we do 50 per post that it's active? And no, all blasts (including the one from his tail) are going to be equal to his highest OS just like the rest. I can add that in!

Chambre Magmatique: Changed!

Riposte Infernale: Actually it's closer to 34x48 with the 48 being how tall it gets. I changed the speed from scaling off Maverick's to a static 800 to kinda go along with, like, Quincy Arrows!

Étape D'incinération: I just took out the word "instant" instead! It's more like, the blast happens and that blast causes his step, kinda like a firework being set off if that makes sense. Basically, that blast happens in the spot where Maverick is before he steps.

Cataclysme: It does! For three posts, anyway.

[Kitai Yoru]

Tornades Dansantes: 1,200 speed is fine with me, and as long as if isn't fine manipulation, I'm good with that.

Maverick Overall: 25 feet for the death effect is good with me. You can keep the 200 foot range, if it doesn't have the kill effect.

Poudre Éclatée: Alright, just correct the 300 to 200, to match the overall.

Lames de Cautérisation: Make it 50 per post, and have it scale at a 50% boost, to 3x once you hit your max temp, and I'll call it good.

[Catty Noir ♦]

Made the changes!

[Kitai Yoru]

[Camila Adaronde]

Wind Current: Let's change the phrasing of this to a minimum two class difference, instead of Class 3 or lower x)

Slicing Breeze: This is,,, a little underwhelming ^^; Instead of the once every other post limit, why not have it just count against Catty's step tech limit per post? That, n' we can increase this speed to 7x if you'd like!

Cauterization Blade: Have the HT requirement for this scale on Class please! Class 6-5 Requires 1 Rank, Class 4-3 requires 2 Ranks, Class 2 requires 3 Ranks, and Class 1 requires 4 Ranks!

Incineration Step: Same buffs as Slicing Breeze please!

[Catty Noir ♦]

Changes made!!!!!
