Je Suis Bucheron, et Je Suis OK! (P)

{”Tech Used”}

Name: Madame Lisa
Type: Supplemental
Range: Personal
Tier: III
Description: Chandre has an interesting anatomy in that it is very fluid and consistently inconsistent in what she appears to be from moment to moment. With concentration and focus she can force specific changes to her body with calculated results. Her shape can be literally anything she can imagine, whatever colour she desires, and she can even change her texture and smell. She could very vividly mimic stone, clothe or plastic with little enough problem as long as she has had a chance to ‘sample’ the material in question. This means that as long as she has had time to analyze a material she can make a perfect mimicry of it, which is an instantaneous change for mundane material. The mimicked material has all of the same properties as the original, but the change is only skin deep most of the time. If she changes into a mailbox for instance, she will outwardly look like a mail box, feel like metal, even have some rust if she wanted points for detail, but a few centimetres below the surface she’s still squishy. She can change parts of her anatomy into a solid inanimate material, but she can no longer move that chunk of herself freely, just whatever limb it’s attached to.

When it comes to copying living items, the case is similar but different. Chandre has a much greater affinity for living material (such as plants and animals) and finds it easier to replicate, often only needing to see something living in order to make a convincing copy. She can't form functional organs, such as gills, or the scent sensitive tongue of a snake, but she can fake it fairly well, and she move her own organs around to better act the part (moving her eyes away from her head eg). As for people she needs a portion of them, be it genetic material or a sample of rietsu/reshi which can come from kido or direct contact with her for her to mimic every detail of the person (not just what is visible). She can mimic a voice as well once she’s heard it, and if she’s studied a person for a day or two, she can fairly accurately mimic their mannerisms.

There are, of course, limitations to this ability. Firstly while her body’s shape changes; she doesn’t get any stronger or faster despite forming hulking arms or narrow body. As well, with the formation of limbs such as claws or a wickedly spiked tail does not come the knowledge on how to use them properly and thus she could become fairly awkward with whatever she tries to form as her weapons. She is limited by the material she has in her body, storing her extra ‘mass’ as energy so she can walk around in a smaller body without crushing everything she steps on. When all of her stored mass is active, she is limited in size to a Menos, being unable to grow any larger. She can also shrink down, but only to the size of a child at her smallest, 4’ tall give or take, and needs at least this much room to house her organs such as they are when changing into inanimate materials. Her hollow hole and mask can’t be changed, and while she can liquefy her entire body including those features, when she reforms the mask and hole must be present somewhere. Lastly, she can’t mimic non-solid things such as non-viscous liquids (water e.g), energy forms (fire e.g) or gases (air e.g) though she can manage thicker liquids like tar or molasses.


Name: Vetruvian Homme
Type: Summon
Range: Close
Tier: I-IV
Highest Mastery: Hand to Hand
Description: Chandre is an artist and she quite enjoys making lovely works of art, even in the heat of battle, and in this ability, her love of art and the practical need to defend herself are married nicely. She sculpts a form from the wax that makes up her body, creating a body that splits from her like some sort of deranged birth. The body can be whatever colour, shape or size that Chandre can take, generally being fairly unique in appearance since Chandre enjoys making original art each time she uses this power, each one being a ‘piece of art’ that she is proud to display. As with her own shape-shifting power, the form does not denote the function as the behemoth of muscle and spikes she makes could be physically very unimpressive. There is one similarity that all of these creatures share that Chandre (despite her displeasure in using the same look for anything ever at all ever) HAS to carve into them. They all have a hollow hole somewhere on their body, and in that hole burns a single candle wick. This flame is tied to the life of the piece, and snuffing it is the same as killing the piece. The candle flame is a special fire though, and needs special circumstances to be extinguished. Only spiritually charged items can affect the candle flame, so a piece could go swimming in the ocean without worry, but should be careful should a shinigami try and snuff them out with their fingers. The candle flame will eventually go out in 8 posts (Except when summoned as tier I summons, in which case the candle will burn until put out), leaving the piece to freeze like a statue of wax, never to move again. Chandre only has four candles on her crown, and regardless of tier, she can only have four summons active at once. She must follow normal rules for maximum summons at tier III and IV though, limited to three and two respectively.

Summon Abilities (Usable only when Vetruvian Homme is a tier IV summon):

Name: Survie du Plus Apte
Class: Spiritual Potency
Type: Defensive/Passive
Range: Personal
Tier: II
Description: As their creator endeavours to create the perfect piece of art, so do does the Vetruvian Homme endeavour to become that piece of art. When struck by something that would damage the Vetruvian Homme, it learns and adapts its body to become more resilient to such an attack, sparking noticeable physical changes, such as stony skin in response to being slashed. Subsequent attacks of the same nature are half as effective, even if it isn’t the same attack (two different fire elemental attacks would be affected the same way). The Vetruvian Homme can adapt in this way four times before they can no longer adapt.

Name: Evolution Course aux Armements
Class: Hand to Hand
Type: Offensive
Range: Variable
Tier: IV
Description: Creatures in the wild adapt to hunt their prey, and so must the Vetruvian Homme adapt. After seeing an attack from their opponent, the Vetruvian Homme will generate an attack of opposing values to counter. This could mean breathing ice at their opponent that just breathed fire, or generating a hardened fist after seeing a projectile used. This attack can change only three times before the Vetruvian Homme is stuck with what they have, but it doesn’t NEED to change after seeing an attack, and can opt to maintain the attack in its current form. There is a cool-down of 1 post after the attack adapts.

Name: Verset Nature Nurture
Class: Healing
Type: Healing
Range: Variable
Tier: II
Description: No creature lasts forever, and in this the Vetruvian Homme is not an exception. That doesn’t mean it won’t try though. By returning to Chandre and physically merging with her body, the Vetruvian Homme can repair itself. While repairing itself, the Vetruvian Homme will be healed of minor damage in 1 post, larger wounds in 2 posts, or grievous wounds in 3 posts. Chandre herself cannot do much aside from run while her art uses her as a hospital bed, but she can sacrifice the advancements of the Vetruvian Homme’s adaptations to reduce the time required. Washing over the offensive or defensive adaptations reduces the time by 1 post, washing over both reduces the time by 2 posts to a minimum of 1 post.
