    XunYi's Vibe - Skeletal Cloning

    XunYi can make skeletal clones of herself, meaning she can conjure replicas of her own skeleton. She can summon 2 full-body clones at a time. When summoned, she can command the skeletons to do her bidding. Each clone lasts 15 minutes, if they're not destroyed or dismissed first. She has to be dancing throughout this time, or else the skeletons will begin to fall apart.

    When XunYi begins to dance, she can summon one clone immediately. The clone will form from the feet up, taking about 5 seconds to fully form from toes to head. The second clone will appear after another minute of dancing. These clones can only move within a range of 30 feet; if they are dragged away from their summoner beyond that range, they will go poof.

    The bones she summons are made up of and animated by Vibe. The skeletons are stronger than XunYi herself, but not intelligent. XunYi must give the skeletons verbal commands for them to act. They cannot move of their own volition. Physical attacks are effective against XunYi's clones; after enough hits, the bones will discorporate.

    Instead of full-body clones, she can also summon select pieces of skeleton: arms, teeth, ribcage, marrow, etc. Like with her full-body clones, these bones will dissolve after enough hits. These bones also last 15 minutes, and count towards her "two clones at a time" rule. Examples:

    Teeth - she can fire two handfuls of teeth at a target. Biting bullets!

    Arms - she can summon 4 arms at a time, which can grab at a target, or link into a sort of chain. This can act as a flail or a grappling hook.

  • {WIP) History

    XunYi was born on January 21, X088 in the Purple District.

    XunYi was a late bloomer, Vibe-wise. She didn't fully grasp the form of her Vibe until she was 18. Intellectual pursuits always came more easily to her, while singing and dancing were difficult. Her scientific mind disappointed her family, who hoped she would one day fill her grandfather's shoes. Still, through grueling hard work, she eventually proved herself and found a place for herself in the Mafia.

    She went by the moniker "Nails" in school, thinking it sounded cool and edgy. She's fine with old friends calling her Nails. Secretly, she prefers the nickname over her given name.

    XunYi spent the past 6-7 years in intense training under her grandfather's tutelage as his "apprentice". This training time isolated her from her peers in many ways, so she's lost touch with many from her past.

    She has a large family, all of them well-established within the Mafia. Her paternal grandfather, Walter Hua, was hired as a security consultant for the initial S.T.E.P. project, then became a loyal ally to Don Cornell, before eventually fighting in the War of '99 and establishing himself as a ruthless Stepper and soldier.

    Her mom, Scarlet Feng, is a pop singer, and her dad, Jing Hua, is a ballet dancer. They divorced when she was young. She has one younger half-brother, from her dad's side.
