DOUBLE-SOUL PERMISSIONS
Feb. 11th, 2015 12:02 amPlease do not reply to this post unless we've spoken about it or I have linked you here myself! These permissions become applicable only with close cr, and is limited to such in order to reduce clutter. If you think your character may qualify for these permissions, however, feel free to shoot me a message so we can talk!
So, like his robot cousins before him, Megaman here can kind of copy the powers/abilities of others that he's met. Unlike his cousins, there's nomurder fighting necessary! This ability is called Double-Soul.
What even is Double-Soul, you ask? In essence, if he and your character become close bros, Megaman may come to understand at least a portion of how their personality works--what drives them, how they take on life, etc etc. In this way his own soul sort of ~resonates~ with the other character's. And if that happens, Megaman can use the Power of Friendship and Dubious Computer Science to borrow your character's powers/attributes in times of need, wielding them as his own for a brief amount of time! His armor reacts to this ability too, generating a hard hologram layer that somewhat mimics the character he's borrowing an ability from. In-game Megaman can activate Double-Soul for an hour every two days, and it'll break apart prematurely if he takes too much damage.
By default this is a dormant ability that only works with a decent bond of friendship between Megaman and your character. This permissions post is for when this happens! For both documentation and planning purposes, I'd like you to tell me what abilities and attributes Megaman could obtain from a Double-Soul powerup with your character.
And now, a textbox for your copypasta needs:

CHARACTER NAME: Your character's name.Still got questions? Feel free to ask them here or message me!
SOUL NAME: Usually derived from the name, so soul abilities can be distinguished from one another, but if you want to get creative you can make up an entirely unique name too! A character named Bob could contribute a Bob Soul, but if Bob's talent is spewing magma then it could totally be called Magma Soul or w/e instead.
SOUL ATTRIBUTES: Since the shape and color of Megaman's armor modifies to somewhat mimic the character he's copying! Feel free to be as general or detailed as you like--the only constants are that he should always be wearing some form of gloves and helmet, and his Navi symbol never changes. Does your character wear armor? A baggy coat and clunky boots? What colors do they wear most? Any distinct weapons they use (he might wield a mimic of these as well)? If you need design ideas, here's an image gallery of all Megaman's previous canon Double-Souls--rest assured, it can make even the biggest nerds look really cool.
SOUL ABILITIES: What combat benefits does Megaman gain from the Soul? Double-Soul can amplify a character's natural powers/talents to suit combat or defense if need be; so, even if your character is a normal human, mundane strengths can be turned into some kind of power or buffer. What abilities does your character have, supernatural or otherwise? Things they're good at? Traits they're known for? How long does an ability last, and how many times can it be used? Any drawbacks?
SOUL NATURE: What's your character general demeanor, or most defining outward personality trait? Are they usually quiet and aloof, or are they angry and hostile--or grossly happy and optimistic all the time? A bit of this might bleed into Megaman's own demeanor while he's using your character's Double-Soul, to varying degrees of his own awareness. Some Double-Souls are a lot more enjoyable to wear than others.
