So I recently had this concept of a new power system where suddenly several people around the world were split into two separate different costumed, powered identities.

The Angels represented all of the target's positive and good traits while the Devils represented all of the target's negative and bad traits. With their powers and costumes were based on the individual's greatest sin/deed in life.

As such Angels are inherently good and archetypes of benevolence whereas Devils are the total opposite and often act on the target's crueler impulses without any inhibition.

The immediate goal of both an Angel and Devil is to defeat and kill their doppelganger. Upon succeeding the winner essentially gains complete ownership over the original person's identity.

What this means is that depending on whether the Angel or Devil wins, the target experiences a respective drastic change in their personality and morality as they are completely stripped of their negative or positive character traits.

In order to clarify this with an example:

Imagine if there's a man who runs a orphanage, he doesn't abuse the children but he often enforces them into performing basic child labor to make profit.

Upon being split into an Angel and Devil, his Angel persona becomes a hero who can summon several child-sized minions that follow his commands while his Devil side traps victims in special restraints that require special puzzles to nr unlocked.

If his Angel side wins then not only the person becomes an actual superhero, but he also becomes a genuinely good person who stops making children work for him.

Whereas if his Devil side wins, then he becomes much, much more crueler and forces children to work non-stop without food or rest.

However, there are also some unique phenomena that can occur this battle between ab individual's Angel and Devil.

If during the battle, either Angel or Devil receives any form of physical assistance which leads to their victory, then there is a chance of it becoming a "Pyrrhic Victory" depending on how much help the individual received.

(Words of encouragement or distractions do not cause Pyrrhic Victories but if a third party interferes in the battle and physically helps one of the individuals to victory then it is instantly considered a Pyrrhic Victory)

Pyrrhic Victories not only cause an individual's Angel/Devil persona to re-manifest after an unspecified amount of time in the future and issue a rematch. But they also cause the winner to retain traces of their original lost positive/negative traits.

The final thing to discuss about my power system is the ranking system which determines the strength of an individual's Devil and Angel, they are the following:

Cherub/Imps: The weakest class of Angels/Devils, often manifest as a result Pyrrhic Victories, Pure Luck or Strategic Action.

Guardian/Demon: The most common type of Angels/Devils and tend to be generally pretty decent in terms of powers though not very exceptional to note.

Archangel/Archdevil: These Angels/Devils tend to be way stronger than your average ones and as such tend to be just as charitable/sinful.

So what do you think?

So I have this idea for a fantasy setting filled with magic, Gods and supernatural creatures. You know the classic stuff.

I have this idea that the Gods have the ability to bestow powerful Blessings onto others which grant their hosts incredible powers and abilities such as incredible speed, superhuman strength or exceptional swordplay.

On the other hand you have Curses which are considered as powerful and deadly forces of black magic that ruin the lives of their victims and cause untold suffering.

However, the truth is that Curses and Blessings are \*technically\* the same thing, it's just that a Blessing is a Curse that has been fine-tuned, refined and slightly altered so that it doesn't hurt its host.

Thus, it is possible for a mortal who has been Cursed to "tame" their affliction and potentially turn it into a source of strength without needing any divinity's help.

The way I see it works is that both Curses and Blessings are naturally very flexible and adaptable, they change and alter themselves in relation to the host and their current conditions.

A warrior with a Blessing of Archery may find that he can telekinetically pull back on his now and empower his arrows with his mind after losing an arm, all he needs to do is just remember and imagine the act of pulling the string in his head.

Similarly, a Curse of Hunger that causes its victims to be overcome with an insatiable appetite may adapt by spawning new mouths over the user's body if the host somehow loses their original one.

And if the host becomes a sort of spirit or achieves some form of astral projection, the curse may cause the host to develop the ability to consume raw concepts, energy and essence.

After all, how would a Curse that causes its victims to run endlessly until they die of exhaustion work on a creature with no legs such as a mermaid or lamia.

Therefore, by placing limitations on ones own physical form and it's capabilities the host can essentially \*force\* the Curse to adapt and change. And through rigorous training and preparation, it is possible for one to eliminate the inherent dangerous aspects of the curse.

Anyways, what do you think?

Anyways, what do you think?

First, here's a quick summary of my OCs (who travel back in time).

#Caine Capricorn:

A Goat Faunus and a major Adam Taurus fanboy, comes from a future where Adam's actions were heavily whitewashed by the white fang. Honestly believes that Adam was a genuine, heroic and noble who died protecting Menagerie from a giant Grimm.

Trained his whole life fighting dirty and mastering CQC, until he got his hands on a replica of "wilt and blush" at which point he ditched his primary fighting style and started leaning into swordsmanship without any actual training.

Also he abstains from using aura because he heard Adam unlocked his when he was 18. But thanks to his absurd physical training routine, he just barely rivals your average Hunstman with aura.

#Johan Xiong:

Son of Junior Xiong (the guy Yang beat up in Yellow trailer), he is a conman with an interest in collecting supposedly ancient historical "magic relics". His favorite is a magic gem that allows him to cast a COMPLETELY RANDOM spell that he has no control over.

Is also a major bisexual flirt who likes to seduce people (mainly to then steal their belongings and use them as his pawns). When he is not flirting, he is a sarcastic and whiny little bitch who secretly cares for his friends but doesn't want to say it because he is all tsundere.

Also his hat may be alive.

#Engel Schnee:

Imagine if Dexter Morgan was a sweet, innocent little girl with short white hair and large pale bird wings, combined with a tendency to cuss when you least expect it. She is Whitley's sociopathic daughter who hates the rest of her extended family for treating her father poorly.

Is the scariest of her team, probably cause her version of the Schnee semblance turns you into a glowing, scarred shambling corpse that she summons to fight her battles. Loves to play with her victims by experimenting on their body when they are still alive before killing them.

Also she really really REALLY hates Jacques.

Lastly...

#Ashley Sustrai-Fall:

Take everything you know about Emerald and Cinder...and throw it out of the window cause not only did the apple stray far from the tree, but it then rolled down the hill and then booked a flight to another country.

She is the pure, embodiment of internet cringe and 2018 YouTube nostalgia stuffed into a hyperactive optimistic child. But underneath all that bravado is a hidden, mass of anxiety, negativity and feelings of inadequacy.

She loves designing weapons but most, if not all, of her knowledge comes from short form online video tutorials. Plus, she uses resources from literal broken scrap and stolen pieces acquired from other people's weapons.

Now...here are the list of dumb stuff they have done since they traveled back in time to Beacon:

• Caine and Engel humiliated and traumatized Cardin so badly that he quit being a Hunstman completely.

• Johan tried selling his services to the other students, helping them awaken their semblances for a price. Eventually he got caught and tried to bribe Ozpin with special coffee beans (it worked).

• Ashley developed a crush on Ruby after the latter beat her up for stealing parts from Crescent Rose.

• Ashley managed to convince an unaware Yang into teaching how to seduce women, only to then immediately use her knowledge to try and hit on Ruby.

• Johan flirted with Ren multiple times which led to Nora getting jealous, so then Johan flirted with her to form a throuple.

• The Group formed a "White Fang Musical Power Rangers" squad and used it to singlehandedly change the White Fang's reputation positively within a single week.

• Ashley befriends Neo and is convinced that Roman is abusing her for his own personal benefit.

• They also completely destroyed Torchwick's reputation by convincing everyone into thinking he is a racist groomer.

• Ozpin caught Johan eating live worms in the middle of the woods at night.

• Caine tried to convince Weiss that the Cat Faunuses are specifically responsible for giving the other faunus a bad name, going into an in-depth long conspiracy theorist explanation.

• Team RWBY and JNPR find out that Caine is drinking energy drinks laced with dust which is not healthy at all.

• Blake is convinced that after she left the white fang, Adam started selling white fang merchandise.

• Ruby's dad, Taiyang, is called in by Ozpin to watch over Team CAJE (Caine, Ashley, Johan, Engel) on a mission after the latter accidentally sent him to the hospital.

• They manage to suppress the Vale Grimm invasion with the help of the **Adam Taurus Appreciation Club** from the future.

• They then defeated a mega giant Grimm in their "White Fang Musical Power Rangers" identities while piloting a giant mech Johan accidentally made.

• In order to prevent the fall of Beacon, the team intends on completely ruining the Vytal Festival so that everyone leaves, thus minimizing casualties.

• Because of Caine's refusal to use aura normally, him and his team (who were unaware) can only tank 1 attack before being considered "dead".

• They use a magic item that rapidly spoils food and induces food poisoning to get rid of the vast majority of participants.

• They trick Jaune and Pyrrha into wearing magic rings that transfer all of Pyrrha's combat skills onto Jaune, making her terrible at fighting, they do this by arranging a forced love confession.

• They use AI videos to trick team NDGO into thinking that the other cheated on them with their boyfriend, causing infighting.

• They run over Team FNKI with a car in the middle of the arena.

• They eventually disqualified after Johan restored Mercury's legs, only for Caine to then accidentally lodge his sword into his unprotected flesh, causing major chaos.

• Ashley manages to save Penny from getting chopped to bits but loses her hands in the process, but luckily thanks to her healing semblance she is able to quickly reattach them...much to the horror of the audience who sees a little girl use her mouth to pick up her dismembered hands.

Ok so here's how I imagine it works...

Character A has access to the power system of every single anime universe, except his potential and attributes are comparable to the average bottom-feeder of that setting.

Additionally, he can only use magic systems that are accessible to humans. Meaning he cannot use a power system that is exclusive to non-human races.

However, they can stack, combine and use all of their different powers together simultaneously.

So how strong do you think they would be?

Imagine that your most weakest oc suddenly gains the power to stand above all other OCs in terms of strength, power, skill, speed, hax, durability, resistance, etc.

They become so powerful to the point that no other being can contest to their strength, not even the original strongest beings of your settings (regardless of whether they are omnipotent or absolute force of cosmic order).

What do they do with this newfound power and how does the rest of the setting react to this sudden power imbalance?

This quirk allows the user to actively "reapply' any quirk-based effect upon their body that they have previously experienced.

The way it works is that once the user is affected by a quirk that induces some kind of esoteric effect besides damage, their body automatically "downloads" the data from the quirk and allows it to be reused at a later date.

Meaning if they get hit by Uraraka's quirk, they can reapply that effect on their body and use it to float or boost their jumps.

Or alternatively, they can reapply Recovery Girl's healing quirk on their body to recover from any injury.

They can also exercise a degree of control over hostile quirks as well, for example:

If they get affected by Shigaraki's Decay, they can later use it to remove hostile growths caused by another quirk without injuring their body.

Or if they get hit by a puppeteering quirk and choose to later reapply it, they can decide which ally can control their body.

This quirk does have some weaknesses as:

A) the user can only store 4 effects.

B) because their body automatically downloads the newest recent effect, the last effect is immediately removed.

C) quirks that have multiple different effects result in only the specific effect that was used to be captured on them.

(So if a quirk can induce various emotional reactions on a target, only the emotion applied on them gets stored).

D) once a user has used an effect three times, they lose the effect and need to reacquire it in order to use it.

(P.S: I don't want to call my quirk "Reapply")

So I just found out that Chaos Spawn are failed Daemon Princes that occur when a Chaos God gives their follower a little too much power causing the individual to become a savage beast that barely retains it's sanity.

However, I also found out that you could become a Chaos Spawn just being exposed to the Warp for the too long causing your body to develop too many mutations.

So that makes me wonder:

Could someone theoretically become a Daemon Prince of the Chaos Divided WITHOUT actually being blessed by any of the Warp Gods?

Of course, I imagine that such a thing would be HIGHLY improbable, but if possible, could you imagine if it actually happened to a lucky guardsman who got stranded in the Warp a little too long?

So in many fantasy settings, the term "Corruption" is usually used to describe a supernatural phenomena where something is forcefully twisted into a more powerful but evil and dangerous form, usually against the subject's will.

However, I came up with the idea of a "Reverse Corruption" where something inherently evil (or just morally neutral) is twisted into a powerful force of good against the original entity's nature.

For example:

Undead = Holy Revenants.

Demons = Angels.

Bandits/Criminals = Heroes/Paladins of Justice.

While traditionally the inverse of Corruption is usually Purification, but I don't think that name fits cause a being that was originally a force of evil is being converted into a force of good through a method of "Reverse Corruption".

Any ideas on what this phenomena should be called?

I'm trying to create a suitable weapon for one of my OCs but I can't seem to be able to come up with the "gun" aspect typically all other RWBY weapons.

Quick character background: she is a Schnee (Whitley's daughter) and a bird faunus with large grey wings as her primary trait. She possesses a "mutated" version of her family semblance as it allows her to convert humans into her summons.

(The Grimm no longer exist after Salem's defeat...also she's a little psychotic yandere)

I imagine her weapon "Macbeth" essentially resembles a large pizza cutter. One idea I had is that she could plant her glyphs onto the blade and launch them as projectiles but I feel like it's missing a gun-like aspect similar to Weiss' Myrtenaster.

Also I don't want to make a lame weapon similar to Fennec and Corsac that doesn't have any mechashift feature.

Any ideas or suggestions?
