Name: Obo
Race: Namek
Origin: New Namek
Type: Competitive
Status: Playtesting

Appearance

Obo is a chubby Namekian mage from the Dragon Caste. He casually wears the robes of his profession, but when the situation calls for it, he is not above dressing in other fashions, such as like an Earth businessman, or in a swimming suit (ew).

Fighting Style

This Namek is a strong pacifist; he values life and peace above all. Hence, though he is a powerful mage, his magic centers around protecting and healing others, with a secondary focus on making fighting around him difficult. He has few, if any, powers that do lasting damage.

Techniques

Protect (Basic - 1)

An adjustable form of Barrier. Its default form is a skintight barrier, but the caster can place it on other objects and people he touches, besides himself, and can shift whom the barrier is cast on by having the current barrier bearer touch the next person to receive it (or vice versa) and concentrating for one post. The caster can also concentrate for a post and change the skintight form into a bubble form (or vice versa) of up to 50 feet in diameter (expanding at 50% MagPL speed). Finally, the caster can lock the bubble form in place, basing it on a single spot, by concentrating for a post. While rooted in this way, the bubble takes 1 damage for every 3 concussive force applied to it. The barrier protects for 400% MagPL durability.

Sleep (Basic - 0)

The caster sprays a short stream of clouds (not actually streaming) at 50% MagPL speed + 50% MagPL virtual speed that can affect up to one full target OR up to five DV or Adventure minions at the same time, making them sleepy. Affected targets instantly act as though their stamina pools were reduced (in total) by 200% caster's MagPL, for 5 posts. Targets who would not have stamina left after the reduction fall magically asleep for the duration of the spell, unable to take actions, though any effects they have active remain active. Taking any damage, regardless of whether the target is asleep, will cause the spell to end for that target. Once the spell has finished, full normal stamina use is restored, and sleepers awaken.

Dispel (Basic - 1)

This spell counts as double its charge against any energy manifestation. If its charge is greater, the manifestation ceases to exist. The exclusion is durability effects, though any secondary effect attached to that durability effect can be targeted and dispelled. Effects with no set duration, such as Levitate are also affected. In this instance, the charge of Dispel is compared to the natural charge of the owner of the spell.

Levitation (Basic - 0)
Lesser Healing (Basic - 0)
Speedcast

Spaceship (Item)

Obo owns a Namekian spaceship. It has no powered abilities beyond being able to ferry passengers and limited freight across the stars rapidly.

Description

Obo was the chief of a small village of Nameks, on their homeworld. Life had been peaceful for them for a long time -- a peace they owed greatly to the people of Earth. Meanwhile, Earth continued to suffer one villain after another, one catastrophe after another, and because of their capable power wielders, most outside powers had decided that they did not need help. Worse still, some thought of their times of peril as potential opportunities for invasion. This sort of talk was preposterous for Obo, and after several years of lecturing to his peers and villagers that young Namekians should step up to their obligation and aid the people of Earth, he decided he would follow his own advice and move there, himself. He received the blessing of the Namekian high council, and took one of their spaceships to Earth, immediately.

Though Namekians -- particularly of the Dragon Caste, as he was -- were generally wise, they lacked raw information about the outside world. Obo now finds himself in a strange, foreign world he can do naught but attempt to understand under a Namekian mindset. Still, his mirthful and generous personality are sure to bring him a long way.
