  • Vibe- Taunt

    Strives vibe essentially makes him. Annoying. He taunts people, hoping to use their anger at him to his advantage. As he charges his vibe, red smoke begins to flow around him, following his movements, then when he sends the vibes affect to someone the smokes goes to them, disappearing on their body. He can send out his vibe in a 15 foot area around him, but it's more likely to take affect the closer he is to someone. And he's only currently able to have it work on 2 people at a time, though he does practice and try to effect more.

    10-15ft away- d6 roll, 1-2 fail
    5-10ft away- 1-3 fail
    3-5ft away- 1-4 fail
    0-2ft away- 1-5 fail

    The longer he fights and teases the more likely the opponent is to lose control of themselves in their anger. After a few rounds on a combat (3 failed rolls), the person affected ends up losing control of their annoyance and it turns to untargeted rage. It's a double edged sword though, they get more angery and powerful which is bad if they still attack Strive, but they're also now likely to just attack whoever or whatever is closest, losing control of themselves for a small time. Strive is pretty skilled at keeping away, but nobody's perfect so this has resulted in him getting his butt handed to him plenty of times.

    If you want to avoid this, it can be simple. If you keep out of his range or can snuff out his smoke (drench him with water, blow the smoke with wind, contain him) you won't be affected. By the vibe at least, he will still tease and taunt verbally, but that doesn't have any vibe to it, that's just how he is.

    Strive doesn't tend to work with others, but hes learning. Maybe, with a teammate, they could use the rage as a kind of boost? He's thought about it, maybe he'll have to find someone to try it sometime
