Epithet Erased: Art Poll

[fish]

Oh wait I forgor, had a brain fart.

@WarmWater

in Epithet Erased, proficiency is a stat that goes up to 15, and is how good you are at using your epithet or other such things, with every 5 proficiency being another tier of proficiency, going from star, to orbit, to nova. This applies to stamina and creativity as well, all three stats are independent to a degree of one another and can all be separate classes

About this, they actually go more in depth in regards to Proficiency Levels in the book, and describe it more as Levels in a video game where you can get exp towards (so, more similar to the system you described Anime Campaign had).
Each Tier 1 Star on a character sheet, as explained by Jello as well in a QNA, is around 8 points of Proficiency, with it taking 40 of them to make it to Orbit Tier Symbols. IIRC:
1-40 Proficiency is Star,
41-80 Proficiency is Orbit, and
81-100 Proficiency is Nova, up until getting maxed out.
In particular, Molly narrates to the readers that her proficiency was measured at 18, while her sister’s was in the high 60s. Rick Shades is also an interesting case, where (I’m not sure if they go into this in AC since I’ve never watched it) each time he makes a new friend with his epithet, he actually gains one point in proficiency. He’s also the only character that cannot “level up” normally compared to the other characters, and HAS to get friends to get stronger.
The world building in Prison of Plastic is super dope

[WarmWater]

they did go into it in AC (don’t watch it), Rick had 150 proficiency before he lost them all

ooo, that’s wack

[Archenhailor]

i realized but does this mean a very creative person who recently discovered their epithet jump levels in creativity (example: being orbit creativity less than 1 day after discovering your epithet)

i think the answer is yes

[Archenhailor]

i guess here’s the finished product
first epithet erased oc

i have no idea what to put as a little sentence/mini paragraph under the [EPITHET] text

Hakiren Starkriftel

• 18 years old
• discovered her epithet at 10 years old
• might’ve used her epithet during PE class
• the type of person to use math to get more pizza (good at arguing)
  
  
• loves STEM (aced math and science classes)

Skillset

• Flight
• Speed
• Strength
• Wind Manipulation
• Blood Manipulation
• Heat Manipulation
• Technology Overclocking
• Slow down their perception of time/“client-sided” time
• Every time they use their abilities, they slowly burn out/possibly die (strength bursts burn them out faster)

every time i make a chemical epithet user, theyre gonna have a hexagonal pattern somewhere

[WarmWater]

Wow, that art for some reason hurts my eyes, and I have no clue why

[Archenhailor]

i might actually do round 2 of this and pick a new word
not using “clepsydra” because thats just gonna be another zora salazar but with water magic

it’s a showdown between (round 2, for now):

• ywis
• kamikaze
• terrorism
• sarin
• resurrect

[WarmWater]

One thing I forgor to mention is, none of the stats are exclusive to epithets, for one, howie has maximum stamina, with alright creativity and proficiency as well, so someone who hasn’t learned their Epithet can still have creativity

[Archenhailor]

update v1:

• changed creativity from 9 to 10
• added white outline to text for easier readability

[Archenhailor]

ngl i maybe shouldve made her like 60-70 and she wants the arsene amulet so she can steal someone’s epithet and become young again

tldr: she wants youth

her health is deteriorating every time she used her epithet since her early 20s, but the effects only became significant at her 60s.

“ever since i’m getting older my epithet becomes more dangerous to use… the effects of constantly pushing yourself beyond limits placed a strain on me. i wish i can be a hero just like before…”

[Archenhailor]

if i were to make another epithet erased art piece, what epithet should the next character have?

• Water
• Sarin
• Ersatz
• Kamikaze
• Pleonexia
• Hitherto
• Ywis
• Preposition
• Conjunction
• Clepsydra

Possible Powersets

Water: self-explanatory
Sarin: toxic af substance
Ersatz: copying things/powers/whatever but not as good, also illusion magic
Kamikaze: creating explosions but being harmed while doing so
Pleonexia: probably telekinetic abilities or money manipulation
Hitherto: possibly warping reality
Ywis: possibly warping reality/foresight
Preposition: telekinetic/time abilities
Conjunction: merging things together
Clepsydra: basically sundial + water (zora salazar with water magic)

[Archenhailor]

for some reason i feel like making another character

theyre gonna have a chemical epithet
