Lost's Assorted Forms and Stuff

Postby Stray-chan » Wed Feb 18, 2009 8:33 pm

Well, I figured I should be like the cool people and make a character thread. It's not done yet, but I feel like there's a lot here. Also, pic suggestions for Lost would be much appreciated! Now enjoy some explanations for why Lost can be in lots of places at once. And thanks to mwc for the inspiration!

Lost, wanderer and psi that he is, is subject to some... interesting phenomena relating to his state of being. Put simply, he has various states of being. Which is a confusing statement without some context. We'll start with Lost in his original form:

True Name: He won't reveal it, for fear of making himself vulnerable to nasty magic
Nickname: Lost
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Hair: Dark
Eyes: Blue-green
Type/Class: Human Psi

Lost is a wanderer and adventurer, a psychic and a student of the esoteric and the weird. He's seen interesting parts of more than one world/dimension, hung out with mages, other psychics and other kinds of other weird and interesting beings. A little bit. He's still pretty new at this whole adventuring business, but he's enjoyed what he's done so far, barring that time he got cursed by a pissed off mage. He came to Muffinville via hitching a ride in a supernatural teleporting curio shop. He asked if they could get him anywhere near "that place in China with the transforming springs", of which he had a map. Instead, he wound up in Muffinville, which has more transforming and is far more interesting.

Possessions of Note:
Satchel of Holding, acquired not that long ago. A magical satchel with far more room inside than out, it's weight never changes. Lost keeps most of his stuff there.
A Portable Chromatic Negator, given by Whatevr to test. It can remove about 2.5 fruit worth of chromatic energy in one charge
A mysterious big old metal key, given to Found by a mysterious figure, ended up with Lost when Found was blued. Mysterious and sinister.

Powers:
Lost is a rather powerful psychic talent, and can use a several abilities with great aptitude:
Psychokinesis (He moves small things and puts up psychic walls almost without thought, and can move hundreds, if now thousands, of pounds with concentration)
Mind Shielding (The shields are strong but imperfect, and he doesn't always have time to get one up)

Lost is reasonably capable with a number of disciplines:
Psychoportation (mostly short range, but he can do long range with time and concentration)
Pyro/Cryo/Astra-kinesis (he's better with these then he thinks, but can only use them reliably while in danger)
Telepathy (picking up thoughts is much harder than broadcasting his own, but even that has a fairly short range and takes focus)
Clairsentience (it takes the whole of his focus to move his perception from his body)

Lost can hardly use these powers at all, though not for lack of power:
Psychic Projection (as this is basically a combination of Telepathy and Clairsentience, he can't use it unless his life depends on it. If then)
Mind Control (Lost does not like this kind of power, and has never even tried to see if he can do it, though he might well be able)

Lost can't psychically create matter at all, nor can he psychoport between dimensions.

Also of note is a psi discipline that Lost is pretty sure he invented and that no one else knows. While his intellect was stuck as a being of pure thought (see Found, below), he learned a fair bit about the spectrum of energy colors, at least in a metaphysical sense. He didn't study what they did, but how they moved, which lead to the realization that, with a proper focus, he could psychically manipulate and store them. He speculated a simple crystal of the appropriate color could store energy, allow it to be pulled from a being, and be accessible by that being at will. The drawback is that the only energy he can access correctly is energy stored in his body. After being turned into a blue dancer girl by a cocomelon provided by Alexis, Lost successfully poured the energy into a sapphire provided by Queen Tori of Aoi, simultaneous proving the base theory and discovering that gems worked as well as, if not better, than crystals. The fact that Lost then re-blued him (her?) self to go to Aoi's court with Tori and dance is incidental. If Lost has any way to move other people's color energy around is currently unknown.

In a nutshell, Lost can return to his base form from a new (color) transformation if he has a crystal or gem to put the energy in, and switch between stored forms basically at will.

Thus, Lost has various Forms, which at the moment consist of the following:

Name: Lost
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Hair: Blue
Eyes: Blue
Type/Class: Dancer-Adventurer

Lost was turned into a busty blue dancer girl by a cocomelon given to Found by Alexis. The blue energy has made her a very energetic, skilled and athletic dancer, including giving her adventuring related dance powers akin to some RPGs, which she noted herself. At the moment, Lost is enjoying being a busty dancer girl. She has set off to the blue realm of Aoi with it's queen, the friendly Queen Tori. Lost is looking forward to dancing for the royal court of Aoi and hopefully doing some adventuring. Personally wise, Lost isn't much different in this form, though she does like showing off and posing as much as an blue girl. She can pull any small thing in Lost's satchel from her cleavage, and any small thing she puts there ends up in Lost's satchel.

As a psi, Lost is subject to some interesting phenomena. One of these is known as "Personality Sharding", or just Sharding. This occurs when a psychic isn't using nearly as much psychic energy as they are actually able to. They build up the energy, which comes under, for lack of a better word, "pressure" that, given enough time, explodes. Since this is mental power we're talking about here, the explosion results in the creation a sort of copy of the psychic. They are basically the same as the original, but tend to have several differences in appearance or personality which may not be immediately evident. Most of these copies fade away after a time, the energy that created them expended. Due to their normally fleeting nature, they are called Personality Shards, which is what named the process. However, those of strong will, or who receive lots of attention, can last long periods of time and even become permanent. Shards often have powers, but they are rarely anywhere near as strong as the originals, and they often strong in different areas.

Lost tends to use far less psychic energy than he is actually able. He is therefore likely to create shards, which will start to wander around Muffinville and probably end up getting transformed, which may well make them permanent. Surprise, surprise. At any rate, these are the known Shards of Lost:

Name: Lonna
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Red
Type/Class: Human Psi? (has yet to display powers, though claims to be one)

This Shard wandered into the path of one Malcontent, who was handing out valentines that turned guys into pretty girls. According to Mal, he was "bringing out their inner beauty." He'd then romance them with super-bishie powers. Lost became Lonna and immediately started snarking Mal's lame valentine, boring and cliche date ideas and dumb pet names for her. She eventually agreed to let him take her to get fitted for some dresses, which she enjoyed. She then started teasing him as well as snarking. He took her to a dance competition, which they won a resort vacation at, then to buy swimsuits which she grudgingly modeled for him, then to the resort. She's warming up to him, though. Personality-wise, she's much snarkier and abrasive than Lost, likes dark clothing (especially dresses) and hates cliche stuff. If she has any psychic power, she hasn't used it yet.

Special Cases:

Name: Found
Age: ?
Gender: Female
Hair: Violet
Eyes: Violet
Type/Class: Violet Girl

Found is... interesting. When Lost foolishly ate a tomapple offered by Caprice shortly after he came to Muffinville, Found (whom Caprice named as such) came to be. She's rather level-headed for a violet girl, but still extremely dizty and cutesey. Lost's intellect managed to pull back to a remote corner of her mind, eventually projecting himself out to attempt to find a way to reunite them and get de-violeted. Lost's intellect eventually decided to go with feeding her a cocomelon, convinced the blue would make him smarter and more focused. Imagine is surprise at the result. What makes Found a special case is that she is somehow still around even after Lost was blued. When Found was about to eat the cocomelon, Whatevr's Pun Magic kicked in and it started raining lost and found objects. Found ate the cocomelon, banishing the violet, integrating Lost's intellect and blueing Lost. However, at that moment, a truck fell out of the sky and in it was Found. Having become Lost, she showed up in the lost and found as a Found. She wandered away and at the moment is in a bakery and has a tail and wolf ears. She seems to have some kind of psychic connection to Lost; when Lost is on the same plane as Found, Found talks like this and when Lost isn't, Found talks in traditional violet. Lost has no idea what this may me, and is avoiding Found for the time being.
