So long as the Target is not behind cover, they become unable to move. They can still use Abilities and be aware of their surroundings, they just cannot move. This Mundane Technique does no Damage, but can be upheld indefinitely. The user can move at walking speed while Channeling, but the Channel is interrupted if the user is Attacked or Displaced. The user cannot switch Targets and this Mundane Technique has a 1 minute cooldown after the Channel was Canceled. ⇝ Firearms | Purifying Shot | The user fires a Purifying Shot at a Target that prevents the Target from using any non-Mundane Technique Ability (including Racial, but not Artifact) for the next 3 minutes, and prevents Channel Abilities for the next 10 minutes. This shot does not harm the Target. This Mundane Technique has a 30 minute Cooldown. ⇝ Firearms | Paralyzing Shot | The user must kneel and take aim to pinpoint either the left arm or right arm of a Target. After aiming, the shot is fired, and that specific limb on that person is Paralyzed for 5 minutes and receives a bleeding wound. This Mundane Technique has a 1 Hour Cooldown. ⇝ Firearms | Belt Shot | The user rapidly loads and fires the weapon from the hip, causing a quick blow-out in short to medium range. Anyone in front of the user also in Emote Distance is forced to jump back 5 Blocks to avoid getting hit by the shrapnel. This Mundane Technique has a 5 Minute Cooldown.MELEE ABILITIES ⇝ Melee Weapon | Unarmed Dodge | Unarmed Dodge allows the user to have 1 guaranteed Dodge Counter. A Dodge Counter can be consumed to avoid a Melee attack (Not a Melee Mundane Technique!) or Mundane Technique from the Ranged Weapon Point Buy Category. The 1 Dodge Counter refreshes at Server restart, but cannot refresh mid Combat Roleplay. ⇝ Melee Weapon | Battle Hunger | While in Combat, the user can activate Battle Hunger. Battle Hunger gives the user +1 Strength (that cannot break the limit) and loses -2 Constitution (that can go into negative if the user has 0 Constitution, neither cause gain or loss of Packs). This effect cannot be removed until the Combat Roleplay is done, but it can be activated during the next without Cooldown. Additionally, while Battle Hunger is active, any Abilities or Mundane Techniques used on the user that cause the user to move slower or be unable to run, have these effects instead ignored. ⇝ Melee Weapon | Chuck and Run | Chuck and Run allows the user to instantly toss their improvised weapon as a distraction or obstacle against opponents, and then make a run for it. This Mundane Technique only works if the user is up against 2 opponents, if any more opponents are present, the user is unable to guaranteed run away. If however no more than 2 are present in a fight against the user, and this Mundane Technique is used, they escape guaranteed. When using this Mundane Technique, the user must run away and cannot turn back into conflict. This Mundane Technique has a 24 hour Cooldown. ⇝ Melee Weapon | Leaping Charge | Leaping Charge allows the user to instantly leap to a Target person in Emote Range. This Mundane Technique lands the user with the same relative positioning they were prior to using it, for example, if used in front of a Target, the user will land in front, not behind them. This Mundane Technique grants initiative, meaning the user is allowed to immediately chain up the use of this Mundane Technique with an attack. This leap can only be used horizontally, and does not allow for any vertical movement outside of slight incline increases. This Mundane Technique has a 30 Minute Cooldown.RITUALISTIC ABILITIES ⇝ Unionist Ritualism | Ritualistic Manifestation | The Ritualist is able to manifest certain aesthetic visual aids to their ceremonies, so long as whatever is produced is not physical, does not affect the world, does not aid in combat, does not obstruct in combat, and does not hamper other players in any way that they do not OOCly or ICly consent to. The Ritualist can summon any number or combination of sounds, of any volume, around them to either mimic their voice, or be completely conjured/unique. The Ritualist can also manifest moving images and pictures in smoke, fire, shadows, light, water, or directly into someone’s mind if they touch them. These images must be things the Ritualist thinks of/conjures, and not directly shared memories. ⇝ Unionist Ritualism | Ritualistic Scripture | The Ritualist can apply faintly glowing, or flat, words or simple symbols onto their body, or any object that they own. If they do not own the object, permission from the object’s owner allows them to place it. (This also applies to giving that person tattoos/marks on their skin.) Color options are the following, and any variant in between them: black or white. Whatever is applied does not fade, but can be removed by the Ritualist, or the owner if they are no longer willing. Whatever is applied should only be religious text or preaching, and cannot ever carry usable messages or secret code. Additionally, the Ritualist or Owner can ‘toggle’ the glow by touching them, or ‘activating’ them with a specific trigger phrase. ⇝ Unionist Ritualism | Ritualistic Crafting | The Ritualist, when crafting an object with a specific ritual, and under the following umbrellas: metallurgy, woodworking, thread-work/weaving, painting, or sculpting/carving. When making these objects, the Ritualist can apply the following: a faint glow, colored white/black/grey, a simple moving/repeating pattern, a change in material appearance to look like it is made of paper or uncolored stone. The Ritualist can give these objects to others freely once they are made, but they cannot be exceptionally large, and confer no tangible advantages or functional differences in their use. ⇝ Unionist Ritualism | Light the Path | Unionist Ritualists can manifest a glowing eye of Unionism behind their head, or behind the head of any willing individuals within Emote Distance of them. Additionally, they can conjure detailed and realistic images of any God Emperors/Empresses for others to see, Divine Instruments, Heroes, or the Everwatcher in objects (such as smoke, mirrors, statues, water, etc) in order to impart lessons on their virtues. If there is already a depiction of any of these things near them, they can enhance the features of this depiction: such as making parts of a painting look like they’re moving, or temporarily clearing grime or imperfections off a statue while it’s in the light. The Ritualist can even have parts of this reflect on the person they’re speaking to, as long as they’re aware of it, in order to give a more personal lesson. None of these functions should be used combatively, competitively, or for advantages/instant solutions in events/progressions, and are just for general aesthetic flavor. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ · · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ·· ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ · ✪ · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ·· ABNORMAL PHYSICAL TRAITS ⇝ From the top of his sun-bleached tricorne hat to the bottom of his well worn in boots, most everything regarding the missionary screams poverty whether it be the empty space of where a front tooth once was or the heavily patched and travel worn clothing he adorns; carrying nothing of his own. Hidden beneath his well worn shirt are ritualist Unionist scripts and symbols that are tattooed to run along his back, down the backs of his arms, as well as the back of his hands. Noteably, these can only be seen when triggered to appear as a white faint glow.ROUTINE WEAR ⇝ Standing at the height of 6'4, pulled back and messed blonde locks of hair that is not often cleanly washed or brushed, and wearing nothing more than hand-me-down pieces of clothing, Benji is quite the unkept sight to low and behold. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ · · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ·· ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ · · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ · ✪ · ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ·· CHILDHOOD⇝ Brought up on a ranch for cattle outside a frontier town among the scattered New Ceardian Colonies, Benjamin was raised by devout and conservative Unionist parents by the names of Benjamin & Hedwig Beckett; a bloodline that notably was familiar with superstition towards aberrants.ADOLSCENCE ⇝ Raised in a family of tradition, Benjamin was named after his father, who was named after his father, who was also named after his own. Not only was his father's name passed along, but the young Beckett found himself following in the foot steps of those before him; a missionary's destiny to bring Paradise to Aloria.YOUNG ADULTHOOD ⇝ Near towards his last few remaining years at his father's side, much of his early twenties were spent traveling across New Ceardian Colonies to help those who they deemed as lost; the afflicted especially so.TRAVELS TO REGALIA ⇝ With an enthusiastic grin, as well as a want to spread good and help those that can not save themselves, Benjamin set his sights on the Holy City of Regalia after the known Vampirism Occupation in hopes to assist in recovery with a destiny ahead of him to lead the lost to Paradise.

If it isn't his Puretek, this is the second go to of Benjamin E. Beckett's in times of conflict. ⇝ Two Wooden ol' Hatchets. Perhaps a more barbic tool of choice, but Benjamin has become fond of the poor man's weapon. One is noteably larger than the other. ⇝ Grappling Hook. BELONGINGS ⇝ Due to not often keeping much material wealth due to his faith, and honestly quite broke, at all times he carries about Ten Regals to get himself through the day. ⇝ This has led him to often take up work to earn what he needs rather than to burden himself with what could corrupt his soul.⇝ A copper hand-sized Pocket Watch can be found tucked away into his right boot, once again an heirloom that he treasures. ⇝ A small box of rolled Garettes, only a humble amount due to lack of coin. ⇝ A pouch of Hard Saltwater Taffy Candies are always kept on his persona at all times, why? Tastes good. ⇝ Around his neck is a humble Unionist Eye necklace, a trinket given to him by the senior Benjamin. ⇝ STOLEN: Carefully tucked away into the pocket of his coat, a Resealed Letter with Benjamin Elliot Jedediah Beckett written on the very front with the address Blücherwald Castle. ⇝ At all times, the superstitious Heartlander carries a Rabbits Foot on him, tucked away in a pocket. ⇝ Lastly, he keeps a prized Harmonica on him as well. ⇝ Along his belt, Ammo & Charging Powder is kept at all times to power the flintlock rifle he carries.
Did I bump off my approved tag and changed my prof points and racials to find out all Knight apps are on hold for review? Yes, yes I did. Please ignore me still a WIP. @Volaie
@Volaie Alrighty until the Knight update does roll out, I've updated the formatting as well as shuffled around some proficiency points, lastly added Benji's new Ailor racial abilities.
@Volaie Funny funny proficiency change! Before I start getting into CRP, I wanted to lean more into more knight-tier larp and wasn't feeling the bola for a Knight. Switched to Shields + added a couple of points, fixed the body stat as well.
@Volaie Did I just dump all of my points into Puretek Prof when Benji can't keep his for more than six hours?? Yes. Updated according to the new Ailor update. Skipping on the People of many Tongues racial for now because I can't see Benji knowing anything other than Common at the moment.
@Yurs Moved my points around a bit after having some time to role-play Benjamin again. Also re-did some of the application's personality bits. Please approve me, please please.
