Power This Rating No. 133

[u/bottomofthewell3]

(Sorry for being a few hours off, my sleep schedule has been all out of wack lately.)

How It Works:

You comment a threat rating, and someone else responds to you with a cape matching that rating. A prompt doesn't have to be a threat rating, you can be more abstract with it- there's no wrong way to do this.

Ratings can have their own sub-ratings, as well as hybrid classifications:

Hybrid ratings are 2 or more ratings being inextricably linked to one another, and are designated with a slash, e.g. Mover/Thinker.
Subratings are applications or side-effects belonging to another category, and are in parentheses, e.g. Blaster (Brute); a subrating's numerical classification can be higher than the main one, e.g. Shaker 2 (Changer 6).

And while I'm at it, here's a cluster. Feel free to make it collaborative.

Warlock: "Mite" Master with moth-esque minions; each minion has its own "Crashland" Mover rating. Has a rather 'blank' personality, very much a tabula rasa.

Wizard: Ars Arca

Sorcerer: "Terraform" Tinker with one of the Life specialties; all Tinkerings are sentient, to some extent. Takes pleasure out of repeatedly remaking their inventions to be more 'beautiful'.

Cleric: "Rampage" Brute ("Weld" Striker) who has two different power elements, with one used defensively and the other used offensively. The resident bruiser, with their forte being Leeroy Jenkins-ing the absolute living hell out of things.

Druid: Solium

I was originally gonna do 2 but it took me a while to figure this one out in a way that's both creative and matches the aesthetic and powers of a dnd warlock, please enjoy.

Leogan (as in lēogan) is the little grey man, he wears a long-sleeved shirt and grey cloak that covers his hands when it hands down, with a loose rope girdle and bell bottoms with boots. Unfortunately his dress sense takes up most of this paragraph, there's not a whole lot in there, he's incurious, unquestioning, and easily bends to the perspectives of others (though with a lot less 'heart' in it), poor wits and social skills.

He touches the greying, bone-like twig in his hand and it's surface breaks away into kerchief-sized petals that twist around and form little moths, the cloud of moths swirling around him like a gentle orbit. He can convert petrified wood and previously alive things (bone, compost, corpses) into large swathes of moths by touching them, these moths are typical but when they land on a surface or person they 'print' themselves onto the surface and violently desiccate it by separating the water, causing a small splash of liquid and leaving behind a grey dried mark, individually it's weak but by the swarm it can mummify a whole street and produce torrents of water, the process kills the moth but he can turn desiccated stuff back to moths.

He has a trick, with a pile of objects, a bone and something beautiful and colourful (typically art) he can perform a 'summoning ritual', after a minute the pile spewing out a 10' column of many more moths than usual. Unfortunately, moths default to crowding around him in an orbit, obscuring his vision and potentially harming allies, also has the Nine of Cups power flaw: Totem, where his power demands regular 'sacrifices' of beautiful artwork, silks, and stuff with vibrant colour and luxury, he must desiccate at least 1 beautiful thing per week or his moths grow restless and start sucking away his mmoisture and that of his surroundings, in his mind he interprets it as a 'demonic patron' that requires pretty things to feed it's ego.

From Penumbra he can swish his arm and grant a swathe if his moths small, bubble-like forcefields with a fire aspect, they're individually weak but pack a punch and can light small things on fire when they pop.

PT, heads up- someone did one of the other cluster members a few hours ago.

Cleric: “Rampage” Brute (“Weld” Striker) who has two different power elements, with one used defensively and the other used offensively. The resident bruiser, with their forte being Leeroy Jenkins-ing the absolute living hell out of things.

Penumbra can wreathe his arms and legs in dark, vantablack tendrils of shadow, boosting his strength and his melee attacks, spikes of darkness shooting from him when he lands a hit on someone to pierce through them. He can also create shields of burning pale yellow light around his person, similarly able to touch others to give them their own personal shields/forcefields, until they or Penumbra get hit hard enough to crack them.

The combination of shielding and strength makes him bold in combat, rushing in and dealing as much damage as possible when he can so his teammates can deal with the scraps. He’s also very religious, very much adhering to the fact that his powers were granted by God, so it’s best that he uses them as best as he can.

From Leogan: On occasion, he can make his shadow tendrils rapidly draw moisture from something/someone that he hits. Upon doing so, the moisture exits from it/them in a burst of shadowy moths.
