Chaotic Dance of Steam

Name: Gloves of Perdition
Rank: Strong Post 100->102
Type: Armour, Gloves
Description:
A pair of black fingerless gloves that are made of a special metal only found on Nazo. The gloves looks like cloth, but are considerable more durable that your average glorified towel.

Gloves of Perdition:

Strengths:
• Look very pretty
• Can be worn with fancy clothes
• Matches everything Lexa wears

Weaknesses:
• Cannot block attacks of higher rank effectively if at all
• Can be broken by spells or equipment of equal or greater rank
• Only covers the tops of the hands, and some of the forearm
• If Lexa uses these to block, it would point he swords away from the enemy leaving her open in many places

Abilities:
Name: Perdition Barrier
Rank: Equal to Lexa's Rank (Max B)
Description:
The Gloves of Perdition enact a permanent barrier on Lexa's body. This barrier doesn't act as the typical barrier however, this barrier will only block the first hit that lands on Lexa of equal rank, or 1 rank above the rank of this ability. Unlike the typical barrier, Lexa is unable to pick when the damage is blocked, and after the first hit is blocked the gloves will provide no more protection. The only way this 'barrier' will be able to block 2 ranks of damage, is if they occurred directly after. The only way for this ability to reset, is for Lexa to finish her battle (with the ability not active, unless the opponent never landed a hit in the first place) and the ability will reset at the start of her next battle. However, if the attack is 2+ ranks above the rank of this ability, the gloves will not even try to block it, but rather tack on 3% HP damage tot he attack and still consume the barrier effect.

In the case of melee damage, the damage will be redirected to the same spot Lexa was hit on. If she is cut on the leg, the damage is redirected to the leg of the one who attacked. This can be dodged if the opponent is fast enough, or blocked if the opponent has something to block with.

In the case of reflecting an AoE, the barrier effect of this is a 6 foot diameter sphere with Lexa's heart marking the center of the sphere.


Strengths:
• Allows Lexa to take a single hit (or multiple of a certain amount of damaged based on the rank of this ability if all of the attacks occurred at the same time)
• Could be used while she tries to escape, like she's running and a spell of equal or 1 rank above hits her back (assuming she wasn't already hit)
• Somewhat useful ability

Weaknesses:
• Even if Lexa is at the maximum rank of this ability, if the first attack were as weak as D rank, this ability would be consumed as the ability is for 1 hit, or multiple hits (based on the ability's rank) but only if the multiples hit at the same time. If this 1 D rank hit before any other attack, the 1 hit has been taken and consumed the ability.
• Lexa can't control this barrier, the barrier is used on the first hit of any battle
• If an opponent knows of this ability, he/she could use a D rank spell to erase the barrier, and follow up with a higher ranked spell
• If Lexa is in a battle that lasts an entire thread, like PvP, then this ability would never reset after the first hit.

Name: Circuits
Rank: Legendary(+) Post 341
Type: Magic Item
Description:
Each of the circuits on Lexa's arms, legs, and torso is actually a piece of her magical history, manifested in physical form on her body. These parts give her special advantages capable of being used during battle. Some of these circuit markings, if one were to be a creeper and press their face all the way against her skin and read every last one of them, actually spells out a flight spell that Lexa can turn on and off at will. The effect itself is spread across the circuits covering her body, instead of one localized area. There are circuits laced throughout the circuits on her arms legs and torso, some under the circuits, some directly next to them that create a type of pseudo armour for her as well.

Strengths:
• Very well concealed
• First passive grants major mobility
• Second passive grants some survivability

Weaknesses:
• If a player removes Lexa's arms and legs, all 3 magic items are disabled (check strong MI as well)
• When in combat these segments glow a bright yellow color, which makes her a pretty easy to see target at night, or in the dark in general
• The first passive, when used, increases the amount of places the enemy can inflict damage on by giving Lexa wings that are truly physical wings
• The second ability is a one use only ability

Abilities:
Name: Flight Circuits
Rank: Ranks up with Lexa (Max A Rank)
Duration: Permanent
Description:
Lexa is able to form magic around her back, using the circuits on her back to create a pair of wings that allow her to fly at 30 meters per second (+10 meters per second, per rank max at A rank) when out of combat, and Lexa's normal speed when in combat. These wings count as a part of her being, and if hit by an attack, Lexa will be damaged by it. Lexa is able to put them on and take them off at will. During battle, the wings have a maximum height of 15 meters (+15 meters per rank) that they will allow Lexa to fly.

Name: Hardened Circuits
Rank: Equal to Lexa rank (Max A rank)
Duration: Permanent
Description:
The circuit markings are interlaced with the circuit markings on Lexa's arms, legs, and torso are a type of armour that emit a special type of energy that softens the blow of attacks to the body (but not the neck or head) to give Lexa a 15% boost to her defense. This increases by +5% per rank. When Lexa gets to a point where her rank exceeds the rank of this passive, the passive will be halved for each rank above it she is. EX: This is a C rank passive at 20%, Lexa is B ranked, the passive will be +10% instead.

Name: Gabriel's Blade
Rank: Legendary(+) Post 338
Type: Sword
Description:
A 3' long blade made of a strange metal that seems to hum when not fighting, the guard of the sword is non-existent. There are golden accents around the hilt, and the grip is made of a leather that is lined with the same material as the blade it self. The grip is 7 inches long in total, and the hilt is another five inches. Despite its long size, Gabriel's Blade can be wielded with only one hand if you can pick up 14lbs with one hand. Instead of being stored in a scabbard, the sword is wrapped up in a string that's attached where the guard should be. This sword is carried on Lexa's back.

Gabriel's blade is the one being held in this picture:

Strengths:
• Very Sturdy, can resist spells up to A rank
• Lightweight sword, can be wielded in 1 hand
• Allows Lexa to focus her magic on armour

Weaknesses:
• Can be blocked by weapons/spells/equipment of equal or greater rank
• Can be dodged by players of equal/greater rank
• Has a limited range (3ft the length of the blade)
• Not very easy to hide as it's 4ft long in total, that's only 11 inches shorter than Lexa

Abilities:
Name: Gabriel's Voucher
Rank: Equal to Lexa's Rank (Max A)
Duration: 4 Posts
Cooldown: 5 Posts
Description:
Lexa slashes the air in front her with Gabriel's Blade and a light shines down from the heavens. Out of this light emerges an angel with two swords. This angel can take 2 hits of damage equal to his rank, or 1 hit of the rank above him before she dies.

Angel:

Passive:
Blessings of Rigour - While Gabriella is on the field, Lexa has a +20% Defense boost.

Active:
Smite - The angel lifts her hand in the air on the first post shooting a boll of light upwards, and  on the second post a 20 meter wide (diameter) ray of light blasts the field dealing 1.5x damage equal to the Angel's rank to all enemies. The diameter of this ray of light is increased by +15 meters per rank, capping at A rank.

Strengths:
• While the angel is on the field, Lexa gains a defensive boost
• The angel's active attack is pretty cool
• Angel can act as a much needed Damage Dealer while Lexa distracts the opponent

Weaknesses:
• Angel can only take 2 hits(or the equivilant) of  equal rank  before she dies
• Angel's attacks can be blocked by weapons, spells, and equipment of equal or greater rank
• Angel's 'Blessing of Rigour' ends when the angel dies/runs out of time
• Angel's 'Smite' requires 2 posts to take effect

Name: Angelic Strike
Rank: Equal to Lexa's (Max A)
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 3 Posts
Description:
This can only be done while Lexa is drawing Gabriel's Blade. The spirit of an angel attacks in the exact same spot as Lexa when she draws her sword and strikes an opponent. This attack is quite easy to dodge if the opponent can dodge the blade itself. When this attack is used, a second sword can be seen swinging behind Lexa's sword, in the exact same direction at the same speed, just a good foot behind the sword.

Strengths:
• Very quick shot of damage
• Good for a first strike kind of deal
• Looks pretty

Weaknesses:
• Can be dodged very easily (after Lexa's sword hits, take a step back or dodge Lexa's blade entirely...)
• Can be blocked by spells, or equipment of equal or greater rank
• Spell can be consumed by Light Slayers
• Requires Lexa to get within melee range
