Fall Through The World

One of the purest forms of hubris is in the suppression of pain in order to forge on. This ability amplifies this concept. When inflicted on a target, the target will completely lose the ability to feel any pain, discomfort, or even anything that would be in their way such as the sensation of pressure or restraint. However, this is absolute, and as a result can be deadly. In this state, a target can significantly hurt themselves simply trying to walk up the stairs as pressure and pain are stripped away. The act of taking a step without actively looking where you’re going can cause someone to crush their leg and mash it into a rock they weren’t aware was in their way, as they have no senses which would warn them to stop applying pressure through the limb. One’s grip on one’s sword can become so tight that their muscles rip, their tendons fray, and their fingers become locked and unable to peel away.
In order to keep from destroying their body, an individual must be meticulously aware of every motion they are partaking in as well as spatially aware of their environment lest they injure themselves.
Individuals whose defensive capabilities exceed their own natural strength have nothing to fear from this side effect as they can simply endure any would-be damage from heedless action. Additionally, strong enough regeneration can overcome this weakness and can make this ability dangerous to use as it can immunize a target against pain and fatigue so long as they have the energy to put themselves back together. This ability is initiated through physical contact with a target.

The Wailing Echo

With this ability, Kegare is able to force contextualization onto a target’s actions. By focusing on someone, she can force an incredible feeling similar to Deja Vu onto a person, based on their most recent mistakes. This ability will drag up memories circulating around the person and even pull them into reality, transforming the world around her into a scene from the target’s past in which they have failed or somehow contributed to their present suffering, loss, and mistakes. (Example, if a target was unable to save their child, Kegare would be able to summon memories of promises they were never able to keep, the memories of their daughter’s death and the situations surrounding them, and any part the person may have had in their demise). This ability thus forces targets to face NOT the consequences of present actions, but the actions that led to past consequences. Objects and living things summoned by this ability are real and not illusions, though they are constrained by Kegare’s energy levels and as such living things have their skills and tier limited to 2 levels below Kegare's (If her Speed is Elite, then the limit is Adept. This limit cannot go beneath untrained) or stronger than the person remembers them to be, whichever is the lower bar. However, targets with significant will will be able to shake off Kegare's access to their memories. Individuals with equal Will are able to bar Kegare from their memories the post after she begins using the power, however this is mentally straining and will rapidly wear out their mind especially if performing other mental tasks while keeping her out. Individuals of superior Will are able to do this a bit more easily and with only moderate mental strain. Individuals with Will at least 2 skill ranks above her own will be able to lock Kegare out before she even is able to start using the ability, though this will still require mental attention to maintain.

Howling Martyr

One of the purest forms of hubris is in to blind one's self to consequence or harm in order to achieve one's goal.

This ability amplifies this concept. When inflicted on a target, the target will completely lose the ability to feel any pain, discomfort, or even anything that would be in their way such as the sensation of pressure or restraint.

However, this is very severe, and as a result can be deadly. In this state, a target can significantly hurt themselves simply trying to walk up the stairs as pressure and pain are stripped away. The act of taking a step without actively looking where you’re going can cause someone to crush their leg and mash it into a rock they weren’t aware was in their way, as they have no senses which would warn them to stop applying pressure through the limb. One’s grip on one’s sword can become so tight that their muscles rip, their tendons fray, and their fingers become locked and unable to peel away.

This ability is initiated through physical contact with a target and channeling a small amount of Reiryoku into them. It's effects last for 2 posts. Targets with Focus higher than her Origin Embodiment are capable of enduring this ability without suffering damage to themselves so long as they dedicate a portion of their focus to restraining themselves and moving carefully.

This ability can be used 3 times per thread.
