[-].Pantera Claws.[-]
Claw Length- 5"

Claw Width- 2"

Claw Depth- 4/16th of an inch

Cutting Edge- Sharpened to the width of a hair

Metal Type- Adamant/Titanium Alloy

Each claw is razor sharp, sharp enough to cut through any lesser metal with the greatest of ease. Please note that the length of each claw is measured from where it starts, that being the knuckle of the hand.

Coating the metal of each claw is a specially created 'Hot Toxin', this toxin is designed to cause the target as much pain as possible, making them feel as if they are burning from the inside. The creation of the 'Hot Toxin' was a simple one, Naoki gathered up almost a quarter of a litre of Tarantula Venom, this was the beginning of the concoction. The second part of the 'Hot Toxin' was the collection and production of chilli juice, this chilli juice was created by processing a large number of Bhut Jolokia chili peppers, these known for being the worlds hottest chilli peppers.

Once the chilli peppers had been processed and made into a thick paste, the Tarantula Venom was then added and mixed for a number of hours. Because of the colour of the chilli juice, the 'Hot Toxin' holds a faint orange colour to it, which after a long use on weapons, begins to tint the metal that it is applied on. Naoki was very proud of his creation and quickly got to work coating his Pantera claws with it.

This 'Hot Toxin' is non lethal, but once introduce to the target's blood stream, it is pumped though their body, much like any other toxin and because of the Tarantula Venom, it moves through the body faster than it normally would if the Tarantula Venom was not in the mix. Because of the chilli juice made from the Bhut Jolokia chili peppers, the 'Hot Toxin' causes a burning sensation within the target's body, causing excruciating pain as the toxin travels through the body. The pain usual begins right after administration of the 'Hot Toxin' but begins with just s slight burning feeling, once the toxin has travelled round about 25% of the target's body, the pain becomes greater, reaching the point where the target feels as if they have been engulfed with flames of a 500C {932F}.

Normally, this much pain would cause the target to be unable to concentrate upon their fight and in some cases have been known to die simple because their body and brain was unable to handle the massive surge of pain. Within the mix the Tarantula Venom was added, not only to help the 'Hot Toxin' to travel round the target's body, but to also cause swelling of the wound, this swelling is also non lethal but can cause enough of an irritation to distract the target until the searing pain of the 'Hot Toxin' takes full effect.

~{Please Note: This 'Hot Toxin' is NON LETHAL but can produce death in a target that is weak. The 'Hot Toxin' has a time limit of 7 turns and will leave the target's system after that time. Also, because the chilli juice is not a poison, toxin or venom, it will still have an effect on those who are immune to such things. There is also no cure or anti toxin as the 'Hot Toxin' is non lethal.}~

[-].Abilities.[-]
Super-metabolism:
The ability to consume large quantities of food and burn the energy gained therein. Typically a required secondary power with most other powers as they tend to use great amounts of energy especially psychokinetic's, speedsters and such. Many “Supers” eat extremely high calories super foods because of this. Others just seem to eat constantly. Because of this, Naoki also has Metabolic Resistance, the innate resistance to Drugs, Toxins, Disease, and other harmful factors that are ingested or introduced to his body. These include vampirism and lycanthropy.


Kinetic Blast:
The ability to project force through air (or water or whatever) usually feels like a punch or like flying shards of glass. Also the ability to draw things towards you and cling to them. Essentially the same as repulsion focusers.

Increase or decrease kinetic energy. The intensity allows him to change the direction of any moving object or he can 'push' a target with power rank strength. He can also control a targets telekinesis or kinetic bolts power with a correctly timed and powered 'push'.

Kinetic Battery:
Also called Kinetic absorption, is the ability to absorb the kinetic energy out of any impact; this can be used to slow down opponents, or absorb kinetic energy and slow down a fall that would otherwise kill you. One with this power could even lessen the blow of any object hurled at him and withstand the force of any blow, as it would provide no force after the kinetic energy has been taken from it. Sometimes that absorbed energy can even be sent back at the foe (called Kinetic Backlash) or converted into strength or sustenance (called Kinetic Conversion). This ability is almost always accompanied by Superhuman Endurance. As Naoki has not fully trained to his limit, he is only able to store a limited amount of kinetic energy at any one time, so if the force of a hit is more than he can take, Naoki will suffer the injuries from the remaining force.

Using this power gives Naoki strength which he can increase by absorbing kinetic energy and use it to enhance his physical strength to an unmeasured limit. However, he cannot store the energy he absorbs for very long; as a rule he must physically expend the energy within 90 seconds to prevent it from permanently distorting his body.

[-].Lightning Rune.[-]
A single, black rune, adorning his right shoulder blade in tattoo fashion. This is the symbol that represents his bond to Lightening, not the element itself, but it's essence. If the element was an entity, this rune would denote it's true name, and bestow it's user with all the prowess of the element, only if the user can bear the burden of invoking the entity, the essence and consciousness of Lightening, into their being. However, he is human, and to channel fully such a furious force of nature at once would undoubtedly destroy. There are, thus, three barriers, each physical, mental and spiritual in nature, he is to overcome to gain the highest possible cohesion with the elemental entity.

Gate of Awakening: The first barrier. Broken by the sheer willpower of it's user. The Elemental Rune assumes a luminous, blue glow, as this entity is invoked at the weakest possible level. This is in no way localized, each cell in his body becomes a direct, continuous conduit to Lightening itself, doused fully in the electrical energy. Simply put, his embodiment becomes a host to the element, at the lowest level. This surge of energy courses his nervous system, increasing both the energy and strength of electrical impulses within his nervous system, not only increasing his reaction time, (so he can actually observe with ease objects moving at up to the speed of sound) but making him resistant to neural inhibitors. This means most, if not all, attempts to paralyse him, or jeopardize his central nervous system will fail. Naturally, the abundant electrical energy within his muscles, and body as a whole, augments his speed to that a third of the speed of sound, granting him a measure of increased strength too. Each of his strikes are imbued with the power of lightening, capable of surging the power of a lightening bolt ( 300, 000volts) with each strike.

This awakened state allows him to generate and manipulate those quantities of electrical energy, using them as he sees fit, even directing them in bolts even. This state may be held indefinitely. Note, too, that this increased energy of his nervous system gives him control of it, so he is able to subdue pain to the point of not feeling it at all. Obviously, lightening may be conducted through metallic objects, some liquids too. To be struck with this quantities will at the very least stun the foe's central nervous system, immobilizing them for a few seconds, and at the most actually inflicting mortal wounds and death.

Berserker’s Gate: Shattering this gate, by will power as well, doubles the power output of the Lightening Entity, effective doubling ALL the increased stats that come with shattering the Gate of Awakening. His body thus appears to have the runes spread, covering the entire left side of his body in the glowing, blue, runic symbols. His form is doused in numerous, blue streaks of electrical discharge (Lightening moves at the speed of light), extending to his environment six feet from his form in all directions. To be within this range is to suffer the full effect, equivalent to a direct hit by 600, 000volts. This is fatal. There is a new effect, though, the sheer amounts of discharge, within this region of him ionize the air within said region (without compromising his ability to breathe and respire) giving it a flickering, translucent appearance. This highly charged, more or less plasma diminishes energies introduced into it by 80 percent.

This state can only be held for six turns, before the Berserker’s Gate reseals.

Ascension Gate: Not only does it triple all the stats that come with releasing Gate of Awakening, but the ion field literally, fully, 100 percent subdues all energies introduced into the now doubled ion field radius. This state, held for 3 turns.

The release of the Ascension Gate has a new ability though.. Electro-conversion. This is in itself a counter to blunt force strikes, not with those of edged weapons. It depends entirely on position of the strike, and timing. Should he see a blow coming, he can, at only the instant of contact of his enemy's attack, absorb convert the force and momentum of the strike, and convert it, in that instant, to pure electrical energy within his body. The amount of energy converted depends on how forceful the opponent's blow is. However, this gives the opponent less than a second to break physical contact with him, lest the enemy be electrocuted by the electrical energy within the user. This feat depends on timing and should that be inaccurate, the ability fails. It can only be used six times a fight. By this state, the user's body is completely covered in glowing runic symbols.
