Obo

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)

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)

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 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. Once the spell has finished, full normal stamina use is restored, and sleepers awaken.

Dispel (Basic)

This spell causes a lance of violet light to fire from the caster's fingertip at 50% MagPL speed. The first energy-based or magical effect the ray touches whose creator's source power(s) is/are less or equal to the caster's MagPL, is instantly ended. The exception to this is in the case of a durability-granting effect. In this case, any secondary effects of the effect are nullified for the remainder of the effect's duration, and the durability is unmolested. If a touched durability effect has no secondary effects, it is entirely ignored and the ray instead tries to strike the next effect on the durability effect's bearer, if there is one. If no such effect exists, the ray passes through the durability effect. The ray harmlessly passes through anything that is not energy. The caster can charge this spell for up to two posts; each post of charging makes the spell compare powers as though the caster's MagPL were 50% higher, but also cause the spell to cost 20% MagPL more stamina.

Levitation (Basic)
Lesser Healing (Basic)
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.
