[BTR] Rift Ability as written on App
Jan. 27th, 2013 01:11 pmo here goes: In Peter's own world, for an alpha wolf to truly obtain his full alpha powers and status, he needs to have three beta wolves beneath him. Their power and strength bolster his own.
Peter's rift change will be that he is once more alpha though with a twist. Instead of needing to turn new beta wolves, acting as alpha over them, he is able to absorb a single trait or ability from a person for a period of thirty days from the time of absorption. He would have use of that ability and it would bolster his own strengths and abilities, just as the betas of his world can do. Yet it has the downside of him having all the negativity of it as well. This is especially crucial when he takes on traits and not abilities. They may well conflict with his own personality, causing a crisis of identity, or even altering the man he is personalitywise in small and subtle ways.
The maximum of these that he can have at any given time is three abilities/traits, with any new ability absorbed "knocking off" the oldest he has obtained. His use/being affected by said trait/ability can last no more than a month at a time, and each time he reabsorbs the same ability/trait it won't offer the same potency as before. Not without a few month break in between.
Now each trait/ability will affect his own nature the same as betas in Peter's world did. Therefor the more comfortable with the skill/ability he is, the more it will bolster his own abilities and strength, and the more of them he has to that maximum of three, the more he is brought to that alpha state. This would allow him a more full shift to the hulking wolf man form he obtained before being turned into a bonfire yet again, as well as the heightened strength and senses that come with the alpha state.
When he first arrives, Peter won't realize this is happening and, for the most part, he has no control over what is going on. With time he'll come to realize what is happening and have some control over such things as how much time he spends with a person to try and obtain a specific trait or ability, or avoiding contact to not lose one with the opposite side of the coin being trying to force contact to either obtain something he wants or get rid of a trait he finds bothersome.
As for how this will be handled OOC, I will put a sticky post on his journal keeping track of which abilities/traits he currently has and leave it as a running tally to know which he has had most recent and how often. This will also be open to players offering up their muses for sacrifice for their abilities and skills to be taken, as well as a permission form for me to do this. Nothing will be taken icly without ooc permission.
