Updated Personality: His personality doesn't change much, but it's been a rough road. He's grown a lot more stable and powerful, but he's also seen a lot more of the ugliness of humanity. He's been seeing a lot of good in the world! A lot of people who are willing to help others! ... But the recent reveal of what happened to Elina has reaffirmed the lesson that Rasso taught him - not all humans are good. Some just want to see others suffer. Any other updates: Plenty! Let's start with the once a day powers from the dragons:
Rainstorm - Holy attack(s) on all enemies Flood Tide - Wind/Water attack(s) on all enemies, causes Stun Mud Flow - Water/Earth attack(s) on all enemies Onslaught - Wind attack(s) on all enemies, causes Confusion Fulguration - Does damage based on enemies' current HP Healing Wind - Fully heals team and cures all status ailments Holy Circle - Makes team invincible for one turn
(I'd say we could nerf these to being 'use one of the seven per day'.)
Kaiser form is also now controllable! Hooray! He also has a few more dragon forms:
Wyvern (Good bonus to HP, decent increase to wisdom) - Gigaflame (type: breath; fire-based breath attack against all enemies, damage is variant on remaining HP) - Flame Strike (type: physical/fire; fire-based attack against one target) - Hwa (type: fire; weak fire-based magic attack against one target) - Jeh (type: fire; moderate fire-based magic attack against all targets) - Might (type: power up; raises attack of one target)
Behemoth (Very good increase to HP, good increase to attack/defense, halved agility and wisdom) - Meteor Strike (type: breath; breath attack against all targets; damage variant on HP and defense) - Searing Sand (type: earth; earth-based physical attack against one target) - Chi Patoh (type: earth; deals moderate earth-based damage to one target) - Patoh (type: earth; deals light earth-based damage to all targets) - Counter (type: power up; automatically counter-attack for one turn)
Mutant (Halved HP/attack, lowered agility, good increase to wisdom) - Stardrop (type: breath; breath attack against all enemies, lowers enemy status) - Snap (type: physical/power down; attack versus one target, decreases defense) - Chlorine (type: physical/status change; an attack versus one target that deals damage and can sometimes inflict the victim with 'poison') - Sleep (type: status change; induces 'sleep' in all targets) - Silence (type: status change; induces 'mute' in all targets)
Myrmidon (Good increase to HP, slight increase to attack/defense/agility) - MetaStrike (type: breath; wind breath attack against all enemies, ignores defense power) - Wind Strike (type: physical/wind; wind-based physical attack against one target) - P'ung (type: wind; deals light wind-based damage to one target) - Nah P'ung (type: wind; deals dmoderatet wind-based damage to all targets) - SpiritBlast (type: physical; physical attak on one target, ignores target's defense power)
Regain Baubles? Nope, this is involuntary.
Questions/Other: I'm so sorry. Also this is going to be in like a week, I'm putting it here now so I don't forget.
