Berserker of Ursus:
Description: Ages ago, there were men who dedicated their souls to the bear god Ursus to take his boon into battle. Every man, woman and child they killed was taken as a tribute by the bear god, and with the power it gained, so did it bless his followers with increasingly greater power. Coming to be known as Ursus' Berserkers, these men and women stopped truly being human as a certain animal ferocity seemed to become part of their personality. These days, the descendants of these Berserkers are still given the boon of Ursus and might not even be truly aware of it… until they enter into battle.
Ability:
Berserk: When taking damage, the user gains stacks of "Berserk" on them. For every 10% HP they lose, they gain 10% strength, building up to a total of +50% strength. Once they go up to six stacks (losing 60% of total HP), they grow claws, elongated canines and have their hearing and sense of smell greatly increased. When nearing the limitations of their physical body, which happens when going under 80% of their total HP, a transformation is triggered that fully turns the user into a werebear.
Werebear: Once going under 80% of total HP, the user transforms into a werebear, removing all negative boons and healing up to 50% of their total HP. At this point, the user gains up to +80% strength, +20% speed as well as greatly increased hearing and sense of smell. Fully giving their body to the bear god, they can no longer differentiate between friend and foe, attacking anyone that gets too close to them. As all primal instincts are triggered, the user cannot be calmed down by external sources, raging until the beast tires, which happens either after five posts after transforming or at the end of the thread (whichever comes first). At this point, the bear reverts to a normal human and passes out.
Usage: Berserk can be triggered multiple times in the same thread, for if the user is healed, the strength bonus and initial transformation recede along with the damage they've taken. Werebear can only be triggered once per thread as the user passes out when the transformation is undone.

Asura Physiology:
Description: In a dimension different from our own, a war has always been waged between the Asura and the Deva, two classes of divine beings seeking to topple one another and take control. Being inherently weaker than the Deva, the Asura were beaten back, killed or exiled from their dimension. Those that were exiled and sent to our dimension took on human appearances so they would not be hunted down and killed while separated from the rest of their kind. This eventually led to breeding between humans and Asuras, creating mortal beings that seemed human, but possessed a set of traits most humans might consider odd or even scary.
Ability:
Asuras' Reach: Those possessing Asura genes in their body are initially born with more arms than just the two the average human being has. Capable of hiding them inside of their body so they can blend in with other humans normally, every Asura initially has four arms. At B rank, they are capable of growing up to six arms, capping off at eight arms total at S rank. These arms, while nothing special, possess the same properties as the original arms the user has and benefit normally from physical buffs.
Asuras' Wrath:Due to their extra-dimension physiology, those with the Asura physiology deal with magic in a way that is different from most humans. When they take magical damage, they store up a stack of magic inside their body. These stacks are equal to a one time boost of +10% magic damage to a spell they use or to +10% magic resistance when defending against a spell. These stacks are lost upon utilizing them or upon the thread ending.
Usage: Asuras' wrath is considered a passive, just as Asuras' Reach is. However unleashing Asuras' Wrath is an active, and can only be used a total of two times per thread and needs at least one stack to discharge.

Herald of Rakhann:
Description: Not many know of Rakhann. Some say it was once a human, tricked by a demon into eternal despair, forced to wander an inescapable labirinth of roses and thorns as some sort of sick game to reclaim a loved one. Some say Rakhann escaped the labirinth thanks to his powerful plantmacer powers after slaying a demon. Some say he sacrified himself for his loved one's freedom. Either way, his descendants are able to call upon a fraction of his ancient power.
Ability: User is able to summon a special, symbiotic armor named Keeper of Roses at will. The armor is made with green colored, thorned vines that once summoned wrap around the user's body. Numerous rose buds are present all over the armor. The artifact draws blood from the user the longer it's used, the rose buds eventually blossoming in roses of the same color of the user's blood.
Usage: Once per thread, user can freely summon the Keeper of Roses. The armor has the same defensive properties as Artifact Armor and has the following abilities:

For every Rose, a Thorn
Rank: S
User may sacrifice 10% of his MaxHP to increase their strenght and speed by 40% for one turn.

For every Thorn, a Rose
Rank: A
User may sacrifice 10% of his MaxMP to increase their Spell Damage and Spell Speed by 35% for one turn.

Prismatic Grace:
Description: There once was a powerful Archmage able to harness the power of colors. While the knowledge of his magical prowess has been since lost to time, her descendants are still able to call upon the ancient power of Colormancy!
Ability: The user is able to transform any non magical object into an elemental bomb that can be thrown at the enemy for a colorful explosion of damage. The elemental effects depend on the color of the object. If an object has more than one color, the user may decide what color effect to use.
Usage: User may turn an object into a aoe spell once every 6 turns. The spell's damage follows the user's rank AoE damage scaling. The element of the spell is determined by the object used:

• Red: Fire
  
• Orange: Earth
  
• Yellow: Lightning
  
• Green: Wind
  
• Blue: Water
  
• Indigo: Ice
  
• Violet: Poison
  

Dead Apostle:
Description:

Dead Apostoles are said to be powerful, and ancient living vampires. Said vampires were once human due to the effect of magecraft that allowed them to turn themselves into vampires. They were once wiped out by the church, because they’re seen as evil, and spawns from the devil. These used to be Dead Apostles were sealed away from history.

Ability: The user gains vampire like teeth, and enables them to suck out  MP from another mage, which would be transferred and used for themselves. When a vampire is in a state of lust for blood, they gain strength towards their magic.

Usage: Lasts for 4 posts, and can only be activated once per battle. Its cool down is 6 posts. They can 10% of MP once the blood is sucked from a mage. They can an additional 10% strength in their blood lust state for 2 posts with a 4 post cool down    

Shield Hero:
Description:



There are some legends that contain those who uses various weapons that aid them in battle, whether it be the Famous King Arthur and his sword Excalibur, or the irish hound who wields the famous spear known as the Gae Bolg. Weapons can define who the person is, as legends say about the Shield Hero is that despite the odd choice of weaponry he has engraved his name in history. Said to have an unstoppable defensive force. There is a unique saying that a good offense, is a good defense.  
Ability: When the user is accompanied with a shield, the shield of which the user owns can gain resistance towards attacks of the same tier or lower. Their defensive spells can also be applied in amping up their defensive capabilities. Making it difficult for an average mage to penetrate, unless a powerful spell knocks it down.  
Usage: When in battle, the user gains a 20% resistance to spells with either their shield Item or a defensive barrier placed by the user, for 3 posts with a cool down of 5. They can gain a single defensive spell.  

Arsenal of Spellpower:

Description:
It is said in legend that once upon a time there was a knight in the service of the King of Minstrel, when the kingdom was still split and the country not yet united into a single nation-state. The era of these states warring for power and control was plagued by conflict, turmoil and seemingly endless wars, for when one clash ended, the next one would already begin, this man growing up within these turbulent times. Born as a simple peasant boy, the knight was conscripted into the army of Minstrel, quickly making a name for himself as both an excellent fighter and an even better mage, eventually even attracting the attention of the king, who elevated the man from simple background to the status of knighthood. The man was said to use a wide array of weapons in combat, which of course in and of itself seems like an integral part of the skills a knight should possess, though what differentiated this man was his ability to wield all of these weapons at the same time. It is said that he could expertly wield three swords in combat. A battleaxe and a glaive? No problem. How much of these tales is actually true remains a mystery, but a fact remains: The man's descendants share his ability to expertly control a great number of weapons in combat, and even when not wielding them within their grasps, can control weapons to a degree only a few others can.

Ability:
The user gains the ability to actively equip one additional Requip spell on top of the active Requip slots they already have. If the user does not possess a magic that is at least of an Auxiliary Requip type, the active Requip cap is raised from one slot to two slots instead.

Usage:
Passive.

Mad Hands of Afrethov Koch:
Description: Unfortunately, your predecessor turned out to be a mad lad. A fine gentleman on the outside who adored the kerbstone on the streets of Minstrel, but nothing more weird than that in his daily life. Despite appearing to be sane on a larger view of him, his very psyche and way of thinking was far from expected and of any societal commonness. He was far too dangerous… but this man was amazing at hiding his crazy nature, and this innate, psychic strength affected his magic. Every spell cast from his palms promised nothing but a surprise for the poor enemy, and he managed to cast many unpredictable wonders from his fingertips. As he got himself a family and settled down, surprisingly peaceful and all, his unpredictability and concealed madness passed down, more dormant with every generation… and yet lurking at the very corners of the minds of mortals and immortals.
Ability: A 50-diameter wide, invisible sphere of influence surrounds the descendant (in this funny case, you, the user). When an enemy steps into it, the user is able to rewrite the next spell aimed towards them into something completely different and ‘unpredictable’ by paying 50% of the targeted spell’s cost instead of the usual 100% cost (not stackable with any mana discounts), thus effectively negating its power… at most times. What the spell transforms into is as random as the inner madness resting inside the head of the user.
Usage: Dice Rule to determine the transformed spell:

Roll 1: The spell transforms into a rave party. The entire plane/area/field turns into a colorful boyband concert that immobilizes all enemies caught in it for 1 post and every second post after that until 5 posts have passed in total.
Roll 2: The spell just makes the enemy target invisible for 1 post. Nothing more, nothing less.
Roll 3: The spell transforms into a 50 feet tall burrito filled with living stock and cattle. The user can feed on this large meal and gain 1x user-ranked spell healing in the same post, but they also gain a -20% decrease in movement speed for 4 posts. Blame their bellies…
Roll 4: The spell transforms into black chickens with sunglasses that scream violently and start cussing at the enemy. They will especially make remarks at the enemy’s hair style, choice of helmets or hats, and the distinctive lack of combs on their head… yeah, that’s it.
Roll 5: The spell transforms into a naked blacksmith who runs away in shame. His cries for his clothes grant a -20% decrease in spell damage at the enemy for 4 posts.
Roll 6: The spell redirects itself back as a giant cheese wheel, no matter the type of spell. If its auric or supportive in nature, it will still provide the same effect and deal the user’s rank in AoE Spell Damage.

Has a 7 post cooldown per usage. Can only be activated twice per thread.

Elven Blood:
Description: Elves have always been known to possess far stronger connections to magic than any other race on Earthland. There are many theories to why this is the case; maybe they descend from the very original creators of magic, or maybe their ancestors struck deals with secret overlords in order to bless their race with magical affinities. Whatever the reason may be, this long bloodline of elven wizardry has made its way into your veins. The very bones of magic pulsates in your heart.
Ability: As you hail from elves, your grasp at magic is far stronger. Your spells cost 20% less mana to cast, and whatever main effect the spell has will receive a 20% increase (whether if it’s spell damage, spell defense, requip damage, requip defense, buff). Additionally, all your spells last 1 post longer; yet the user will take 20% more damage from any attack permanently.
Usage: Passive Ability.

Karura, The Dragon Eater:
Description: Karura are a race of enormous, fire-breathing demigods with red skin and red-gold feathers. They hail from the tallest peaks of Midi and are the very antithesis to dragons - wherever a dragon is, they seek out to hunt and kill. Therefore, their very essences of combat involve divine magic and skills specifically aimed to all possible weaknesses of dragons, making them likely the very extremity and icons of radical Dragon Slayers. It is said that they, albeit only in rare occasions, grant these skills and powers to mortal, devout warriors via a secret ritual. These warriors and their histories are mostly forgotten, sunken down in the sands of time and only present via the very few who have inherited their divine gifts…
Ability: The user’s magic cannot be eaten by Dragons or Dragon Slayers. Due to their heritage, the user deals 20% more melee and spell damage against any Dragonkin or Dragon Slayers. The users of this lineage can call upon an ability called ‘Dragonbane’ that allows their dormant divinity to take over their mortal flesh, manifesting red and golden wings and armor plates that removes the increased damage to dragon-kin in exchange for a +50% endurance against Dragon/Dragon Slayer Magic (not stackable) as well as completely shutting off the ability for any Dragon Slayer to enter Dragon Force for a short period of time.
Usage: 1 Passive (either increased attack or defense depending on the active being enabled or not), 1 Active with a duration of 6 posts, 4 posts cooldown, and it can be used two times per thread.

Boon of the Rubber King
Description: Long ago in a sea far, far away existed a pirate. He was a scrawny man, thin but athletic. His name escapes the texts of time, but a title is still rumored to float around the lips of pirates. A legend in his own right, he was a man that became king of all pirates. However, that’s not what made him unique, not really. It was his charismatic and caring personality and the physical abilities his body held. His body was made of rubber, able to stretch far and wide with an array of techniques that supported it. With this, he became known as The Rubber King.
Ability: The body of the descendant with this lineage becomes that of rubber. Your appendages and body can stretch far and wide as well as bounce around giving a boost to melee. It also gives a few resistances to things such as Lightning, melee, or blunt force attacks. However, it does come with a pretty hefty weakness to water.
Usage: Passive. The Lineage changes the users melees into single or multi-targeted advanced spells. When attacking with Melee, your fists, legs, or other attacks have a base damage and range of the above spell types. The body is also given a 50% resistance to melee/blunt force attacks and Lightning. The downside is that water based attacks/large sources of water disable all other buffs the user may get from magics or this lineage. As well, water does 50% more damage to the user.
(RP Flavor: One cannot swim either. Drinking water out of glasses is fine.)

And his name is Destruction
Description: Deep in the cosmos rests a force or god  of destruction, the physical representation of this natural force. This being is destruction incarnate, it does whatever it wants, whenever it wants and it doesn’t let anyone tell it what to do. However one view the being itself, what it embodies is something that cannot be disputed. Even its counter, one of creation, knows that it must exist to keep balance. Eventually this being made it to Earthland and fell in love with the cuisine. A family was eventually start, or at least a moment of intimacy that would spawn a lineage.
Ability: Those with this destruction lineage tend to be that themselves. Destroying what they touch with their increased magical power. What this lineage does is increase the power and strength of the descendants magic as well as granting them a special ability. In exchange for this, the user can only use Ancient Type Magic, no other (no requip, no take over, no celestric keys, etc.).
Usage: Passive plus spell. This lineage increases the buff granted by the Ancient Type magic to 100% as it is your sole type (however, this lineage also removes any buff to healing power). As well as it will grant the Special Spell: Atomic Cataclysm.

Atomic Cataclysm:

Curse of the Corrupt Leshen
Description: A bloodline, cursed for eternity by a forest spirit, or Leshen or Leshy, long ago. The spirit once lived happily in its forest, guarding the trees, plants, and animal life. However, when human nature intevined, it angered the spirit. To see the forest begin to crumble or be torn down for their lodging, it infuriated the spirit. After decades of letting it slide, letting the deforestation of its home, the Leshy broke. It’s mind warped and fought back. It killed humans, controlled the animals, and defied its very nature until the bitter end. With its dying breath, it cursed the one that killed it. The family of that person  was to be forever afflicted, never to be broken.
Ability: The curses effects take on a couple forms. The first being able to control the animals of Earthland and gaining a particularly strong pact with them. This doesn’t only apply to random animals but those who already have an owner. If the animal being controlled is someone else's pet or animal, the effects only last two turns, preferrably with the owners approval. If not, the control and pact lasts until the user decides to end it. The latter is a transformation into the Leshy or Leshen itself, giving the user immense power but at a bit of a cost.
Usage: Passive & Active. The first is a passive of sorts. The user is granted a free Ethereal pet that is bound to the user. The pet can be summoned, giving 2 turns for it to arrive. While in Leshen form, your melee attack damage is doubled, applied after weapon boosts as well as nature magic is given a 25% damage increase. Leshen form only lasts 5 turns.

Blood of Mensis:
Description: Blood - the sacred liquid that carries life within it. It is present in all living and breathing creatures, yet mostly unseen until one's very last moment. However, there was once a crazed warrior who adored seeing blood spilled, be it the blood of his enemies or even his own. This strange obsession with the red liquid eventually got out of hand, as the man started experimenting with dark arts that would allow him to alter his own mortal coil. He used the power to gain complete control over his blood, spilling it in battle on his own and using it to lay waste to those who opposed him. To the very last moment of his life, he relished what he accomplished and ensured that his powers, and perhaps even obsessions, will go down in history. And so, those with the blood of Mensis are destined to use their very blood as a weapon and gaze upon it in amazement.
Ability: Those who have the blood of Mensis running through their veins have extremely fast production of the live-bearing liquid. This makes the wielder resistant to bleeding out. (plot only) Not only that, they can crystallize their own spilled blood and form any and all items from it, including weapons and pieces of equipment. These will scale up with the user and will act as regular pieces of equipment but without any special abilities. Only one such blood piece of equipment can be created at once.
Usage: Passive. Created equipment will last until destroyed or another piece replaces it. Blood loss resistance is plot-only.

Karmic justiciar:
Description: Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The world that is now peaceful was not always this way, for wars plague the history of any realm that might exist. In one of these wars there existed a family of individuals who practiced the art of magic which was not quite spread throughout the land yet. For this, they were often persecuted and killed. A fate that they could never possibly accept. And yet, even when wielding magic, they were nothing against the sheer number of individuals who wanted them gone. And so they tried a different approach - creating an offspring with an innate magical talent to grow stronger the more they are hurt. With such power, they would ensure that their bloodline could always fight back, yet could not abuse such great power carelessly. It was always meant for self-defense, or so they envisioned. But the times have changed, and those who have been born with the power of karmic justiciar might choose to use it differently now.
Ability: Those with the blood of the Karmic justiciar will find themselves growing stronger if the tide of battle turns against them. For every 1% of their HP lost, they will gain 1% increased damage to either melee or spells depending on their choice.
Usage: Passive, user has to specify whether they wish to increase their spell or melee damage at the start of PvP thread if they wish to use the lineage ability.

Legend of the White stag:
Description: In the distant past, there used to be a tribe of hunters in the nation of Joya. While not visibly different from their kin, there was indeed something special to them. A calling, a hunt that they were born for. An instinct, of sorts. But even amongst these, one hunter rose above the rest with his destiny to hunt down the legendary white stag - a beast most elusive. And after years, the hunter had finally arrived at the moment of fulfilling his hunt. However, staring down at the injured beast which he intended to finish off, something broken within him. Throwing aside his weapon and embracing the creature instead, the act of sacrificing what he had thought to have been born for, the gods bestowed a special bond onto him and the creature. Forevermore, may their blood be connected. And so, even generations later, those who come from the line of the legendary hunter can use their blood to call upon the phantom of the white stag.
Ability: Once per thread, the user can summon the white stag into the world. This beast will scale to the user's own rank up to S, boasting stats of a Grande-type summon with one special ability. Invoking this ability will cut the remaining duration of the summon in half but allow it to cast the mage's spell at the cost of the mage's own MP. (This cannot be used to step around limitations of spells that can be used only once per post)
Usage: Active, once per thread. Summon duration depends on the mage's rank (D: 3, C: 5, B: 6, A: 7, S: 10)

Blood of the Demon King:
Description: Over a thousand years ago the Daimyo of a small countryside clan chose to make his mark on the world, over time crushing those that opposed him, and welcoming those who would serve him with open arms. He was the first warlord to unite Midi. He was betrayed at the height of his power, burned and forced to commit seppuku. Though his story has faded into obscurity, and the Oda clan long forgotten, his descendants live on, filled with the very same burning ambitions of the Demon King.
Ability: The descendants of Oda Nobunaga carry his wrath, cunning, and raw ambition, gaining a damage boost when the odds are stacked against them, whether outnumbered or out classed. +1% Per enemy if the a lower rank, +2% if equal rank. +5% against stronger enemies per rank above them, up to S rank.
Usage: Passive

 
   Capital Crocus Plutocrat:
   Description: Centuries ago a mage was born in Capital Crocus to a wealthy and privileged family with a merchant background. By all accounts they were a competent mage, but what set them apart from others was an uncanny ability to negotiate more money for jobs they completed. With this money they were able to buy progressively better equipment and use this new equipment to accrue more and more money as time passed and jobs were completed. Unfortunately, success bred arrogance and the mage began to look down on their "provincial" contemporaries for being less wealthy then themselves. This arrogance led to the mage's downfall as their numerous enemies banded together and nearly killed the mage, who barely survived the attempt and fled to another province to establish a family. Their descendants have inherited a measure of their ancestor's luck but also a measure of weakness born of arrogance.
   Ability: Those who inherit the Capital Crocus Plutocrat bloodline inherit the business sense of their ancestor, which manifests as a 50% increase in Jewels earned from jobs. However, they also inherit reduced Physical and Magic Defense in the form of a 25% reduction for each stat.
   Usage: Usage of the ability is passive.
   

   Pergrandian Exile:
   Description: Long ago in Pergrande, a soldier who was an active and enthusiastic participant in the purge of Pergrande one day awoke to discover that they had somehow become a mage themselves. Since the "no mages" law of their country was absolute, the soldier had no choice but to flee the country and settle elsewhere to escape the same fate that they had dealt to countless others. Their latent magical ability manifested as the ability to withstand magic but also manifested in a reduced magic pool, limiting their ability to cast spells. What was more, the newly awakened mage also discovered that being splashed with mage's blood drained their magic pool by a small amount for a short period of time. The reluctant mage had cause to believe that the alteration of their bloodline was poetic justice brought about by the dying curses of mages killed at their hands.
   Ability: Those who bear the Pergrandian Exile lineage gain a 25% boost to Magic Defense against magic of all types. However, in exchange for the boost in defense they suffer a reduction to their MP pool of 25%. Also, being splashed with mage's blood drains their magic pool by 2% for up to three consecutive turns.
   Usage: Usage of the ability is passive.
   

   Star Of Bellum:
   Description: Many centuries ago a mage of incredible power was born in Bellum. They had a deeper reservoir of magic to draw upon than their peers, allowing them to fuel more spells than their contemporaries and thus win many duels and a lot of respect in the mage-controlled nation. This lengthy string of victories led to the mage being acclaimed as the "Star Of Bellum." However, the mage invariably started to believe their own legend and neglected physical fitness in favor of relying on sheer magical power. While such an approach worked for the Star in their lifetime, that neglect has caused problems down the road for their descendants, who boast considerable magical prowess at the cost of reduced physical ability.
   Ability: Descendants of the Star Of Bellum have a 50% increase in total MP and an increased rate of regeneration for their MP (5% every other post). However, their physical well-being suffers to compensate. They suffer a 50% decrease in total HP and a reduction in HP regeneration speed (5% every two posts.)
   Usage: Usage of the ability is passive.
   

Lawmage's Word:
Description: In recent years, a sect of mages had discovered the universal power of 'Words' in magic. The word is often the power that govers everything from the structure of society to magic itself. Those who follow this path have longed to One who dedicates his life, magic, and future to the upholding of law is forever empowered to enforce it. Certain orders, such as the rune knights, or other law-enforcement magical groups, have long prided themselves in the power of enchantments. With this dedication, they gained the ability to use runes and words as a source of magical power. "The Word is Mightier than the Sword".
Ability: The Blessings of a Lawmage gain the caster a passive 25% reduction in Magic damage done to them, seeing as a kind of magical aura or armor. Using the power of the enchantments used upon them-- they can create a powerful magical barrier made of runes, that will block attacks equal to the user's rank (Cap at S Rank). This shield can only stop one attack-- but cannot be pierced through.
Usage: Magic Defense is passive, while Shield can only be used Once per topic.

Esper's Potential:
Description: Magic power is born in its most pure, unaltered form that resonate to the mind of caster. Few in generations are able to manipulate the powers of mind over matter, and those born with this trait is considered a gift and a curse. This raw form of magic allows ones to become telepathic and telekinetic, able to move things at will.However, some will find this a curse, the power able to react independant of their conscious mind-- even drive some mad. Only the will of this new generation of Esper will tell.
Ability: Owner of this Lineage will gain the power of telepathy and telekinesis. One can freely use telepathy at will with people they wish, and even read minds. Further, the user will have a form of telekinesis that can be used as utilitarian as lifting and moving objects with their mind for utility purpose. However, one is also capable of marshaling this power into a powerful non-elemental blast, capable of user-rank Burst Damage. This can be achieved by throwing the person or using telekinesis to throw objects at person. However, this violent attack can cause extreme headaches after use.
Usage: The power of telepathy and moving objects via telekinesis is passive, able to be used whenever. If one wishes to read minds, one requires (OOC permission) in order to use it. Finally the form of the Telekinetic Blast reaches a max damage and range of S rank. Blast also has a 4 post cooldown between uses.

Shapeshifter's Darwinism:
Description: For generations there has always been a few among the population who have inherited the genes of a unique creature. More creature than human, and one as old as the world itself. Shapeshifters-- nature's tricksters who had the born ability to transform their bodies into whatever form they saw fit. Some choose to simply coexist in this world, keeping their abilities hidden. Others, choose to sew the seeds of chaos, mascarading as powerful leaders, people of power to acomplish crimes or manipulate others. As such, this rare, natural trait had brought misfortune to those of this bloodline-- deeming them monsters. Some forget their true form all together, giving in to the chaotic nature of their own power.
Ability: Shapeshifters have an amazing adaptability that allows them to freely transverse any natural physical environment. They can freely transform into an animal, creature or object to effectively hide or adapt. Due to this, they can freely obtain a 25% boost to ANY stat they wish. However, it is not possible to stay in a transformed state for too long and becomes taxing.
Usage: User may freely shapeshift to any form they wish, gaining flight or aquatic mobility without limit. Free stat boost must be declared at the start of a the thread and when declared, it cannot change. The character can freely keep a transformed appearance for 4 posts, then must change into a new form.  

(Lineage Name): Forced Evolution
Description: Once a hailed alchemist exploring genetic manipulation via magic, Ezra or was later known as Ezra the Mad was the best at what he did. He had often tried out his experiments on himself, having decoded his own genetic code and utilizing magic to activate certain dormant genes or even adding new genes. Most of his studies had focused on trying to make non-mages superior in response, to level the playing field between normal humans and mages. He had succeeded in the end, a magic that would result in forced evolution. What he did not expect was that the magic was permanently imprinted into the recipient and the effects would be diluted as it was passed down across generations.
Ability: The inheritors to the lineage has the ability to evolve their bodies internally and externally by force in response to an incoming threat.
Usage: In response to any threat or situation, the recipient of the lineage is able to change any part of their body or their whole body to overcome or avoid any unfavorable situations. The effect of the changes lasts 2 posts with a 6 post cooldown before it can be used again. The change is dependent on the choice of action. Eg: Huge boulder about to squash the user, choice of actions could include: sprouting wings to fly out of the way, gain immense strength to punch the boulder, immense speed to run away or damage resistance to absorb the impact.

(Lineage Name): Kaiju
Description: Long ago, a scientist obsessed with gigantic monsters of myth and magic wanted to test if it was possible to access the unique traits of the monsters and implant them into humans. Numerous attempts later had resulted in the successful merging of Kaiju and human in the body of a human girl. What he did not account for was for the girl to utilize her Kaiju powers and escape.
Ability: Holders of the lineage are able to manifest special characteristics that usually only belong to Kaiju. Examples: claws, talons, fangs, tail, wings, horns, fire-breathing lungs or gigantification.
Usage: The lineage grants the holder one additional ability capable of going up to S-rank. The additional ability allows the holder to manifest one fixed monster-like characteristic for 6 posts, with a cooldown of 2 posts before being able to use it again.

(Lineage Name): Praetor's Taint
Description: Many centuries ago, a group of dark wizards known as the Praetors performed horrendously unethical experiments on humans in an attempt to create "the perfect life form." So blinded by their quest, they created what others viewed as nothing but a plague upon the world as a whole. One experiment spread beyond the Praetors' control and infected a large portion of the population. As a result, there exist those today who bear remnants of the taint.
Ability: The bearers of this lineage can infect those that they strike with a debilitating poison.
Usage: Once per thread, the user can poison an opponent that they have hit with an attack. This poison has a duration of 3 posts and deals 25% of the user's rank damage per post. Furthermore, while the poison is active the target has a 10% reduction to strength.

(Lineage Name): Whale Lord
Description: In a time before modern-day, there was a species of whale that inhabited the skies as opposed to the sea.  They were just as large yet glided gracefully through the air, defying any sort of logic.  At the time, humanity found this to be a mesmerizing feat.  Some even chose to worship the sky whales as deities of sorts, but there was one certain human who had a completely different idea.  Climbing onto one of the great beasts while it was close to earth, they established a settlement of sorts on the sky whale's back.  An entire ecosystem complete with plants and animals alike flourished on top the sky whale, the human defending the whale from outside forces.  Many followed in their footsteps, and since the whale's lifetime greatly surpassed that of any human they had no reason to worry about it dying.  Those who chose to live life in the sky were soon dubbed as Whale Lords, even able to visit the ground during the sky whale's mating season.  Overtime however, the species's population drastically declined, but a few still carry the blood of the first Whale Lord.
Ability: gimme a sec mait
Usage: hang onnn

The Queens Thirst:
Description: Long ago there was a queen, she lived in a giant castle that towered above everything around it for miles. Every day she would go to her balcony and watch her people from above. It made her feel good, the power. To see them scurrying around like ants living their pointless lives. Their only purpose was to serve her and serve her they would. They worshipped the ground she walked on and as taxes rose they gave her everything. From what was in their pockets to the shirts on their backs but it seemed that nothing would please her. The thirst she had for power and money was unsatiable and she wanted more. The people could not provide this to her and eventually, as the kingdom fell to ruin, they had enough. Gathering outside the castle they formed an angry mob, the castle door was broken down and they charged inside. The queen was shocked, how could her own people betray her? She never got a chance to plead her case, she was killed. Her children managed to escape with their lives but as for the kingdom? Well, no one knows.
Ability: Those with this lineage are able to feel the queens thirst for power and money and bring it into reality.
Usage: Once a thread the user can increase their physical or magical power by 25%. They also gain 15% more jewels from quests!

Witches Blessing:
Description: Once there was a witch who wanted nothing more than to live in peace and tranquility with others. During times of a witch hunt, she blended in with the masses and lived as ordinarily of a life as the rest of the village she lived in. One day, someone had gone into her house and discovered her secret though. While put upon the stake, she cried silently as she looked out upon the people she once called friends. When asked if she had any last words, she simply smiled with tears in her eyes and said said; “I wish you all live long and happy lives.” Before she blew a soft kiss that ran over the whole of the crowd before her. Those who were blessed with the kiss, and their descendants, would have luck on their side throughout the rest of their lives, forever to live with the regret of damning the witch who blessed them so lovingly.
Ability: The blessing granted upon those comes in the form of receiving more wealth for the jobs they go on, as well as more Health.
Usage: Passively able to have 50% more Health Points and claim 50% more Jewel at the end of a job.

Blood of a Witch:
Description: A witches’ power isn’t measured by the same strength that a man's power is. Witches tend to have immense magical power coursing through their veins and in their magical essence. If left unchecked, the power witches possess can have the ability to bring people to their knees before them. This power that they have is also why they tend to be feared by many, and kept by kings sides if they wished to follow one, especially during times of war.
Ability: Those with the blood of a witch within their veins are able to have better control of their magic. To prove that they have the skill to have better control of their magic, spells are able to be casted for less, and are stronger than they traditionally are.
Usage: The user is able to cast spells for 25% less, and able to deal 25% more spell damage passively.

Triel’s Kiss:
Description: A witch is more than dark magic and potions. They were also advocates of nature. The witch, Triel, was a lover of the elements of all kinds. She would spend all of her time in places where little people roamed and talk to the animals that were in the area. She had an affinity to help the earth more, so every plant she had come in contact with would be a hundred times healthier than before, and be brighter than before too. Even in deserts, where plants were scarce, she’d manage to get plants growing like they were in a forest and without an issue. Triel was once known as the miracle worker of plants, and often called upon to help farmers with their crops. She enjoyed her work so much, that when she managed to get herself a follower who wished to learn her ways, she bestowed upon them her knowledge and abilities through the form of a kiss on the head.
Ability: All who bear the kiss of Triel, would have the ability to create a rather short, but very fat, flower that had vines wiggling out around the flower within rank burst range of the user. The vines on this flower is able to stretch out up to the users rank AoE range at user rank AoE speed from the flower and trap targets or knock them back.
Usage: To use the plant, the one bearing the kiss will have to just think of the plant and where it would be summoned. The plant itself can only be summoned for four posts, and once per thread. To trap the targets, they would only be able to do so for a single post.

Master of the Hive:
Description:
Long ago there was a mage who was intrigued by the behaviour, the hive mind, of insects like ants and bees. How wonderful would it be if the same principle could be applied to humans he thought as it could rid the world of a lot of problems. If only he could bend the minds of men to his will, then he could lead humanity to greatness. Under that delusion, he started his research and experiments. He had managed to get individuals under his control but never managed to get close to hive mind concept. However, one person on whom he had experimented did and it backfired. This person could not control humans, but he could control insects. Hundreds of millions of ants crawled through cracks and holes within the walls and floor and poured into the lab. They ate mad scientist alive and freed their master.

Ability: The user controls the insects in his/her surrounding and makes them swarm around him/her within the user’s rank of burst rang (up to S rank). Everyone, except the user, within that range will receive the user’s rank of burst damage (up to S rank).
Usage: Once per thread the user can call forth all kinds of insects for 3 posts, after that the control weakness and the insects leave.

Bubble Trouble:
Description: There once was a young lad who loved to blow bubbles. He blew them in the garden, the house and even during school hours. When he wasn’t blowing bubbles, then he would be working on the formula to create the most splendid bubbles ever imagined. Bubbles that glow like aura in the colours of the rainbow, at the size of melons or better yet as big as carriages. He succeeded but accidentally inhaled a bubble, now he and his descendants can create magical bubbles. These magical bubbles can be used in various ways such as trapping enemy spells, trapping opponents, shielding the user or the user can enter one to fly about.

Ability: The caster gains 1 spell of each rank up to S as they rank up that can create bubbles with various effects that are up to the user.
Usage: The spells need to be made and reviewed like any other spells. They have durations and cooldowns the same as any other spells. The capabilities of these spells are up to the user. The spells are made in addition to the spells in their magic already.

Artefact Appropriator:
Description: There is a famous family of ‘adventures’ archaeologist who walk a fickle line between tomb raiders and academics. Members of this family seem to have an internal compass or detector to find interesting hidden ancient sites and artefacts. Descendants of this family lineage have found extraordinary finds and some of the most powerful artefacts that lay displayed in museums and governmental faults (and in the faults of private owners).

Ability: The living dowsing rod have the ability to find powerful artefacts. The user has to have a thread/job with at least 500 words where they find the artefact. This artefact can be made into a weapon/item/armour and allows them to break the rule that only allows a mage to have 2 weapons/items/armours of a certain rank/grade. This weapon/item/armour must be ancient, but who knows what ancient aliens left behind.
Usage: Allows the user to gain a third weapon/item/armour. This item follows the rules of its category with a few exceptions, they cannot be used in multi-part weapons/items/armours. You can either choose a legendary grade with its normal abilities or an artefact grade with only one ability, it’s strongest. The weapon/item/armour cannot be traded. The weapon/item/armour must be approved just like any other item but what it is and what it can do is up to the user.

Doppelganger:
Description: Many years ago, in an ancient temple in the recesses of the mountains, a band of mages perfected a dark magic capable of splitting one's soul into exact fractions, and coating these soul fragments with a body made of magic, resulting in their ability to create exact copies of themselves. However, this came with a price: too much casting of the magic would cause its caster to run mad, which eventually happened to all the mages, over time, save one, called the Unstained, who, on realizing the effect of this magic, decided that she would not use it. Eventually, these crazed mages threw the countryside into disarray, until they were eventually wiped out, when the Unstained led the government's forces to the temple, after which the Unstained disappeared. There are rumors though, that she settled down elsewhere and led a normal life, and it is said that her power still runs today in the veins of those who hail from her bloodline.
Ability: People with this Lineage can summon clones of themselves, exact replicas of whom it is impossible to tell the difference between them and their doppelgangers. They can make up to three clones of themselves, which share the will of the caster i.e. they behave exactly like the caster. If the clones are dispelled by the caster, the caster receives whatever information or knowledge the clones may have acquired. However, if the clones are destroyed, the caster receives nothing. The major downside of this spell is that the caster must divide their HP and MP equally among the clones they create, making them reasonably weaker when they use this spell. If the caster is killed or knocked unconscious, all clones dissipate.
Usage: The user can create up to three doppelgangers, dividing their HP and MP equally among them. So if they make two clones, the caster's HP and MP will be divided by 3, with the clones each carrying a third of the HP and MP, and the caster having the other third. Clones have 75% of the caster's stats, know everything the caster knew as at the time of their creation, can cast spells using their MP, and take damage to their HP. If clone MP reaches 0, clone suffers 0 MP penalties. If clone HP reaches 0, clone is destroyed. The caster can dissipate the clones at will, at which point, the HP and MP in the clones returns to the caster, as well as any knowledge the clones acquire. If the clones are destroyed, their MP and knowledge are lost. Clone HP cannot be raised in any way above the HP they receive on creation. If caster HP or MP reaches 0, clones are destroyed immediately.
Clones last for 6 posts, with a 10 post cooldown.

Erudite Scholar:
Description: While some folks can boast of ancestors whose uncanny prowess and abilities have reached them down the ages, others come from a long line of people who were simply better than others at doing things. In some cases, knowing things. An Erudite Scholar is one of such; while not having any apparent magical qualities to boast of in their lineage, they are almost always more knowledgeable than most others in a particular field to which they apply their keen minds.
Ability: Coming from a line of bookworms and people with otherwise razor-sharp brains, the Erudite Scholar is very intelligent, much more so than the garden-variety mage. This becomes much more pronounced when they focus their knowledge on one of the magics they are already capable of using, giving them the ability to discover and develop an extra Unique Ability for the magic they focus on.
Usage: The extra Unique Ability can only be used on one magic, which must be stated, giving the user the boon of having at most four Unique Abilities instead of three, for one of the magics they are able to use. Passive. Heightened intelligence can be used as RP flavor.

Kirin Aspect:
Description: Many years ago in Midi, a great and noble sage lived in a little, peaceful village. The village had no chief, because everyone considered him to be the ruler, and while he took care of the villagers through his guidance and benevolence, he humbly refused the title of leader. One day, the idyllic life of the villagers was shattered when bandits attacked the countryside, laying waste to everything before them. Frightened for the well-being of his fellow villagers, the sage called on the powers of good to hear and help. He was answered by a kirin, a divine beast, which is rumored to be only found in areas ruled by a wise and benevolent leader. Kirin are also known to be enraged when a righteous person is threatened by the wicked, and that was why this kirin came, unleashing mayhem on the bandits. It left, but not before imbuing the sage with the power to summon its aspect, a spectral manifestation of its power, in case he needed to stand against evil once more. Millennia have passed, and the sage's offspring are scattered across the world, each one blessed by their ancestor's ability to summon the Kirin's Aspect, although whatever they want to use it for is totally up to them.
Ability: Progeny of this lineage can summon the Aspect of the Kirin, which is a kirin, made of spectral energy but very much corporeal. It is translucent, and glows in colors of white and gold. The kirin has claws, sharp teeth, and a backwards curving horn, which can be used for melee attacks. Its body is scaled, giving it some level of defense. As such, the Kirin's Aspect has 50% of the caster's base HP, and deals damage equal to base damage of the caster's rank, with the base speed of someone of the caster's rank. The aspect doesn't use magic, and cannot have buffs or debuffs cast on it, or its attributes improved or reduced, as it is not really alive, just an aura of powerful magic.
Usage: 4 post duration and 8 post cooldown.

Master of the Other World:
Description: In all magic there are prodgies and masters, those who from an early age are destined to be a natural in a particular magic or skill. For the Master of the Other World, this mastery comes in the form of summoning, they seem to see lines where others would not, and are able to make contracts with their summons of choice which are lasting, and more binding than those made by a normal wizard. When these masters chose to show their power, they seem to be able better control, and better understand their summons. For some this is due to a deeper understanding, and friendship, for others it is their will which allows them to overcome that of the summons.
Ability: When the Master of the Other World has a summoning magic, that magic gets one more summon added to the summon limit cap. For instance, a Solitary summoner would have a cap of 5 instead of 4.
Usage: This is a passive ability that applies to magic type

Wrath of the Wraith:
Description: Long ago, a group of ghost hunters were following a lead, attepting to track and hunt a rogue spirit that had been terrorizing a nearby town. Upon finally tracking the creature, and cornering it in its layer, the group of two dozen was killed down to a single man. As the final member, a priest battled the wraith, he learned the truth. This creature was not just a wraith, but was in fact the first Wraith. The first manavolent spirit to form from the murder of Abel, a murder perputrated by Cain. His own Brother.
As this priest battled, he learned there would be no way to kill and silense the wraith of Abel. In his final moments, he did the one thing that he could, and bound the wraith to his soul, and by extention the soul of the youngest child born in every generation.
Ability: This lineage gifts the youngest child of each generation an additional advanced spell slot which ranks with the user, but caps at S+ rank. This additional spell must be a Takeover Spell, and must be a shadow of the wraith that was bound long ago. This Spell is subject to grading just like any other, and the rest of the takeover abilities are free to be made or used however the user wishes.
Usage: The added spell is subject to usage and cost as any other spell.

Gift of the Wildmother:
Description: Having been born away from civilization, and knowing nothing of the world of man the user of this lineage is not very close to other humans, or humanoids. They are most at home in the wild and untouched edges of the world. This has gotten them to gain a love, and appriciation of nature unseen in most. More importantly, as proof of natures love for this person, the Wild Mother has gifted you with a friend, and companian.
Ability: This lineage gives the user a free weak combat pet which is counted sperate of the purchasable pet. This combat pet can be upgraded like any others, and counts as an additional item if brought into a thread.
Usage: Passive

Gecko Dancer:
Description: Long ago there was a tribe which made their home in a vast jungle, cut off from the rest of civilization and relying only on their own wits to survive. One of the greatest tricks they possessed was the ability to cling to any surface, a feat they achieved by observing the abilities of the tree-climbing lizards that thrived in the region. Over time this ability became as natural to them as breathing, no longer requiring rituals, alchemy or magic to achieve. While this tribe has long since dispersed there are still descendants spread throughout the world who have inherited this combination of slipperiness and stickiness.
Ability: The user can stick to any surface they desire regardless of how smooth or steep it is, including ceilings. However harmful surfaces still deal damage and the user has to keep moving if they're trying to stick to a liquid surface. At the same time the user can also become extremely slippery, ignoring most types of non-magical difficult terrain (high friction/sticky surfaces) and slipping through tight spaces. This combination of slipperiness and stickiness results in a buff to speed equivalent to a user ranked passive buff and a 50% resistance to speed debuffs.
Usage: Passive. The user decides at any point in time whether they want to stick to a surface or be slippery instead. They can also control their slipperiness/stickiness for different objects simultaneously, sticking solidly to one object while sliding off of the other.

Psionic Scion:
Description: There was once a man who didn't believe that one needed spells, rituals and other elaborate methods for channelling the mystical powers of the universe. Through intense training and study did he manage to awaken the ability to alter the world around him using nothing more than his will, performing tricks such as moving objects around without touch or incantation, passing right through walls or even changing the properties of materials. While unlocking these powers did not grant him immortality his children found that they had a lot easier a time unlocking the same abilities. Ever since then those who can trace their lineage back to this stubborn muleheaded man can learn how to shape reality with the power of the mind, albeit in much more limited fashion than their ancestor.
Ability: Upon coming into contact with a small object the user can attune themselves to it, allowing them to freely move it around and control it within user rank burst range. Unless the object has established numbers for damage/durability it will be treated as a weak weapon. As long as the user is attuned to an object they can have spells originate from the location of the object, although it doesn't share the immunity for the user's own magic so destructive magic centred on the object can destroy it.
Usage: Passive. An attunement lasts for four posts since last physical contact. Only objects the user could feasibly hold and lift can be moved, although unmoveable objects can still act as points of origin for spells. A maximum of three objects can be attuned at a time, and attuning to a new object after that will immediately null the attunement to the 'oldest' object.

Shifty Stormchild:
Description: Turbulent. Whimsy. Playful. Storms are known as finnicky things, appearing out of nowhere and throwing everything into chaos before disappearing just as quickly. Things get even stranger when a storm develops affection for a person and somehow bridges the gap between weather and creature. The offspring of these strange unions wield the storm at their fingertips, even if it doesn't always behave as they want it to.
Ability: The user can control the elements of water, air and lightning in small amounts. Furthermore they can infuse their spells with one of these three elements, enhancing it in one way while potentially giving it a weakness in another way.
Water: A spell infused with water gains the vastness of the ocean, increasing its range by 50% and giving it the water property. However if the spell wasn't originally water-oriented it also becomes diluted, reducing the power of the spell by 25%.
Air: A spell infused with air gains the swiftness of the wind, increasing its speed by 50% and giving it the air property. However if the spell wasn't originally air-oriented it also becomes wispy, reducing the damage the spell deals to defensive spells by 50%.
Lightning: A spell infused with lightning gains the force of the thunder, increasing its damage/healing by 50% and giving it the lightning property. However if the spell wasn't originally lightning-oriented it also becomes unstable, reducing the mana cost required for negating/redirecting the spell by 50%.
Usage: Passive. Each spell can only receive one of the effects upon cast.

Monk’s Sacrifice:
Description: Back before man had even began working in metal, there was a middle-aged man that became disenchanted with how the world was going. Though civilization was just beginning, he could already see the greed in humans and how they sought wealth and possessions not just to benefit themselves and their families, but to lord over others as some sort of contrived power. Even worse, they’d kill for it. The egos of man were wicked. Some legends say the man was clairvoyant and could see how right he would be in the future, and some contend he was just ahead of the times, but whichever the case he made a vow that he would do his best to counteract such mentalities by starting a monastery. Like-minded individuals could join him as monks and they’d go into the world to try and save it from its cruel, empty future. They would disown materialism aside from necessities and give extra away. They would favor life experience and strength so they could go out and protect the less fortunate from the evils of the wealthy. They would lead by example, that no matter how much a person possessed, even those with the least had worth and could overthrow them if need be.
Midian monks have been around for thousands of years now, but the teachings remain the same. The value placed on strength and experience has leeched into their blood during their training. While the teachings aren’t keen on taking spouses and having children, some still have and thus this bloodline exists, sometimes in rare instances even outside the monastery.
Ability: The monk teachings are so intense and spiritual that they have impacted individuals that have studied it by imprinting on their DNA. Should they have children, the traits of rejecting wealth and material things in favor of experiencing what a humble life has to offer will be hard to reject. Their experience serves as their wealth and their strength, so any accumulation of jewel or things will feel hollow.
Usage: The character with this lineage sacrifices half of their jewel earnings to gain 25% more exp per job.

Tiger Balm:
Description: Somewhere in Midi an unknown time in the past, a grandma mixed up a whole bunch of herbs and oils into an ointment that would change how grandmas and mothers treated ailments for all the rest of time. They claim that no matter what ails you, be it a headache or a mortal gash to your heart, the balm will heal and ease the pain.
Ability: When things are looking dire and the user is feeling quite awful, suddenly the aura of an ancient Midian grandmother can be felt lingering nearby. Are those the scents of dumplings and mooncakes you smell? Somewhere nearby a small, palm-sized jar with a brass lid engraved with a tiger will appear, containing a white linament smelling strongly of mint that soothes the pain away.
Usage: A salve manifests that will heal all wounds and banish all negative effects, ultimately restoring 50% of lost HP once per thread. It will leave you smelling quite menthol-y afterward, too.

Mask of Lethe:
Description: Hundreds of years ago, there was a woman that despised her life so much, she wished she no longer existed. Traveling alone one day, she happened across a beautiful waterfall deep in the forest. She went for a swim under it, though it brought her no joy because she was so miserable. The waterfall was magical, however, so it granted her her heart’s desire. When she emerged, there was a white mask on her face though she didn’t realize it. Just like that, no one seemed to see her or hear her. Her own family, awful as they were, didn’t pay her any mind. When she told them who she was, they had no memory that she had ever existed. As far as they knew, their entire lives had been void of her entirely.
At first, this was a blessing and she moved on with her life in the uttermost peace, but eventually, she became lonely. For the first time in a long time, she removed the mask, and it disappeared. She married and had children, only to find that they had access to her mask once they hit their angsty teenage years. From then on it’s been passed down through the bloodline, offering solace to those needing a break from life.
Ability: Using the Mask of Lethe, the user can wipe themselves from peoples’ memory instantly. It is only in effect as long as the mask is on the user’s face, and in combat can only last a very short time.
Usage: Once every 5 posts, the user can manifest a plain white mask in their hand and place it on their face. Doing so makes all within user rank (up to S) burst meters forget the user exists. They aren’t invisible, but allies and foes alike forget the user entirely and can’t remember why or who they were fighting or interacting with. This lasts one post or until the user initiates an attack. Once the user attacks, all the memories flood back and things go back to normal.
