BRIEFING:
→ A complex pentagram array which ties into her physiological condition. At a glance, it appears to be a thorned rose chained down, but that is only aesthetics. At the top of the rose nests a demon encircled and tethered by the chains. Which symbolizes the parasite within her being completely mastered and controlled. The flower petals represent her body as a whole, and the circle covered in the thorns of the rose that protects it, which shields her from the negative effects of her condition. As the chains twist around this, they support to the foundation of the earth which represents her will and mind. The roots of the Array represent growth, allowing her symbiosis to progress to such a level that it would kill any one without knowledge of Alkahestry.

→ In combination with her parasitic entity, and Alkahestric ties. Villetta is capable of speeding up her healing rate exponentially. This is an intricate process in which the skin (or another organ-tissue) repairs itself after injury. In normal skin, the epidermis (outermost layer) and dermis (inner or deeper layer) exists in a steady-state equilibrium, forming a protective barrier against the external environment. Once the protective barrier is broken, the normal process of healing is immediately set in motion. The classic model of wound healing is divided into three or four sequential, yet overlapping, phases: (1) hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling. Upon injury to the skin, a set of complex biochemical events takes place in a closely orchestrated cascade to repair the damage. Within seconds post-injury, platelets (thrombocytes) aggregate at the injury site to form a fibrin clot. This clot acts to control active bleeding (hemostasis). The speed of wound healing can be impacted by many factors, including the bloodstream levels of hormones such as oxytocin.

In the inflammatory phase, bacteria and debris are phagocytosed and removed, and factors are released that cause the migration and division of cells involved in the proliferative phase. The proliferative phase is characterized by angiogenesis, collagen deposition, granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and wound contraction. In angiogenesis, new blood vessels are formed by vascular endothelial cells. In fibroplasia and granulation tissue formation, fibroblasts grow and form a new, provisional extracellular matrix by excreting collagen and fibronectin. Concurrently, re-epithelialization of the epidermis occurs, in which epithelial cells proliferate and 'crawl' atop the wound bed, providing cover for the new tissue.

In contraction, the wound is made smaller by the action of myofibroblasts, which establish a grip on the wound edges and contract themselves using a mechanism similar to that in smooth muscle cells. When the cells' roles are close to complete, unneeded cells undergo apoptosis. In the maturation and remodeling phase, collagen is remodeled and realigned along tension lines and cells that are no longer needed are removed by apoptosis.

→ Villetta can alter the formation of her biological cells at will. As a result she can cause herself to look and sound like an exact duplicate of any human, humanoid, or semi-humanoid being of either sex. Her control is so exact that she can precisely duplicate another persons retina pattern in her own eyes, finger, palm and skin-pore patterns on her own hands and skin, and vocal cords to match voices to the point of corresponding voice-prints. Although she can maintain the form of a person of her height, weight, and build indefinitely, the longer that she maintains the form of a person physically bigger than herself, the greater the strain she feels. However, smaller is much easier to hold for longer periods of time. Which is why she chose to hide in the form of a child for so many years.

→ Villetta can remodel her skeleton structure to suit her needs. Remodeling or bone turnover is the process of resorption followed by replacement of bone with little change in shape and occurs throughout a person's life. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts, coupled together via paracrine cell signalling, are referred to as bone remodeling units. However, with the help of Alkahestry she can manipulate the shape, and density of the bone to precise levels. The process of bone resorption by the osteoclasts releases stored calcium into the systemic circulation and is an important process in regulating calcium balance. As bone formation actively fixes circulating calcium in its mineral form, removing it from the bloodstream, resorption actively unfixes it thereby increasing circulating calcium levels. These processes occur in tandem at site-specific locations. Bone volume is then determined by the rates of bone formation and bone resorption. Repeated stress, such as weight-bearing exercise or bone healing, results in the bone thickening at the points of maximum stress. So the more frequently she uses her ability the stronger her bones will get over time. However, the level of bone strength is already incapable of increasing further. Having acquired the bone strength comparable to titanium, after 20 years of using her ability.

→ Villetta can focus her Qi around her lungs to increase the volume and projection of the inhalation and exhalation of oxygen or carbon-dioxide. This is ability is done in two parts, the conversion of her lungs from mammalian to avian. Avian lungs do not have alveoli as mammalian lungs do; birds have Faveolar lungs, which contain millions of tiny passages called parabronchi. There are air vesicles, called atria, which project radially from the walls of the parabronchi. The gas exchange tissues are set into the walls of the atria and gases travel via diffusion between the gas exchange tissues and the lumen of each parabronchus. There are two categories of parabronchi. The paleopulmonic parabronchi are found in all birds and air flows through them in the same direction – posterior to anterior during inhalation and exhalation. By utilizing a unidirectional flow of air, avian lungs are able to extract a greater concentration of oxygen from inhaled air. This is done by using her ability to manipulate her biological cells, once complete she infuses those lungs with Qi strengthen the ability to inhale and exhale air. At maximum force, she can produce a wind speed of 40 mph. This is not without consequence, the forced air at this speed causes strain on her throat and vocal chords, often resulting minor tearing. Although, not exactly dangerous to a combatant, it makes certain action's a little more strenuous.

→ Villetta focuses her Qi on her parasite this time. This allows her to actually control the her parasite to point of creating Stigmata. The parasite is first altered, using her ability to change her biological cells, and then given new instructions. These instructions will then take effect once it reaches the programmed location, it then carries out it's instructions to the letter. Her ability to control these Stigma allow her to better infect her target with them so they might suffer or be relieved faster. The effects aren't instant, as it takes time to replicate, and come to fruition, but the more the target takes in these viral cells the quicker the results will come. Generally takes about sixty-seconds to take effect, but this time frame is lowered if more virus' are absorbed into the body.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:
→ Healing: Villetta has the power to manipulate the rate of her healing factor to extraordinary levels. She is capable of manipulating the Parasite in her into healing her wounds. She is capable of healing small wounds such as cuts and punctures with ease, capable of healing these wounds in seconds. However, the damage from weapons of larger calibur, such as guns, grenades, and the like are a different story. She has difficulty healing these at such a pace, but given a day or so, she could recover from them. This also hinders her from tiring easily.
→ Cellular Reconstruction: Villetta has the ability to alter her cellular body to the point of extreme mutation. Allowing her to age her body, to give herself a more adult-like form. Giving her the ability to manipulate the conditioning of her body as well. This allows her to take on a different persona, by hiding in plane sight. She has since learned to return to her original form as well.
→ Bones:Villetta has the ability to manipulate her own skeletal structure. Her osteoblasts and osteoclasts to be exact. By altering the calcium in her bones she can manipulate the growth and properties of her bones to her liking. She uses this to alter her structural form, this can range from the creation of small blades by removing a bone from her body, or even attaching ligaments to them to eject them from her body.
→ Spark of Life: Villetta uses her Alkahestry to manipulate electricity from her body into a weapon. By using these currents she is capable of both offense or defense, whether they be helpful or harmful her will manages the power and lethality of the currents to perform her task to perfection. Her body can generate electricity at a rate of about 10,000 volts per minute, up to her maximum storage capacity of 10,000,000 volts. While possessing the ability to regulate the current anywhere from 1 mA up to 2,000 mA, which can save or end a life should she have sufficient time and distance.
→ Stigmata: Villetta can produce cultured parasitic virus with varying programs to infect and produce various results. She can control the programming and send them to various locations within her body, and to a lesser degree

REVISE

1. Here, use this as an example for the color and the fact that you need 5 things for each section: https://mdalchemist.rpg-board.net/t1764-spade-s-funky-shizz#14878
See like for briefing there's 5 bullets? Also make sure you color two of them the same for lvl 2 (since you get two abilities at lvl two and only one for lvl three+).

Everything else looks good~ ^_^

[Guest]

Done.

1] Blood can't be black. The colour of blood depends entirely on the oxygen carrying capabilities. Oxygenated haemoglobin is red, deoxygenated haemoglobin is blue (somewhat). Black would signify the decay of red blood cells. Change this unless you have a legitimate scientific reason.

2] Before we get any further, you need a SEPARATE briefing for each alkahestry, even if it's all one array. Edit that and then I'll do my thing.

[Reila Tsukino]

And a separate Type for each ability, all of them including the briefing in their respective colors >.>

[Guest]

For now, remove the titling on each of the briefings. You only need them for the Special Abilities, otherwise it gets confusing. I'll look in the morning, too late here.

[Guest]

Very well.

[Guest]

REVISE

1]

She is able to completely utilize and alter her blood in an offensive or defensive manner, however this involves injuring herself to allow the blood to flow.

This makes no sense to me. You need to expand. How is she utilising her blood? Is she cutting herself and then launching high-pressure blood jets? Or is she simply increasing blood flow to allow manoeuvrability and quick cycling of oxygen to essentially make her faster?

2]

Her healing has improved to the point that bullets can be healed in seconds as well, so long as the shot is not fatal.

Overpowered. I'm going to ask you to tone this down incredibly. As well as that, you'd be healing around the bullet, which would be insanely painful.

3]

Her cellular reconstruction has improved to the level of giving her above-human strength and speed.

Expand. How far above human is "above-human"? Twice the strength and speed levels of say an Olympiad athlete? Three times?

4]

Bone volume is then determined by the rates of bone formation and bone resorption. Repeated stress, such as weight-bearing exercise or bone healing, results in the bone thickening at the points of maximum stress. So the more frequently she uses her ability the stronger her bones will get over time.

This would essentially allow her bones to become unbreakable if she used the ability enough. Please tone this down a lot, there is potential for abuse here. And remove the segment in the fourth ability about her bone strength increasing to levels of Vanadium-Steel if she can have an adaptive skeleton.

I suggest, in summary, you look over the Stigmata ability and consider removing ALL of the "upgrades" and focus solely on your newest ability. This is a strong recommendation that I'm not going to enforce yet, but as it is, some of these abilities are far too overpowered.

1] She can't grow extra arms, enough said. It would put so much strain on her physical form, they'd take days to grow even with her healing factor, you have no actual explanation of the process, the body would reject them, circulation and skeletal problems... prosthetic appendages are really just a simpler alternative here.

2] Level 3 and 4 Special Abilities are just copy-pasted Briefings.

[Guest]

1) Physical arms are not being "grown" they are manifestations of Qi being compressed and controlled.

2)Fixed that hiccup.

[Guest]

REVISE

1] Lower the power level of the arms significantly. Also, two arms at level 3, and four at level 4, not 8.

2] They'd be Qi Manipulation, not Physical Projection.

3] Make sure you lower the strength and include a drawback in that they're inaccurate and would depend entirely on Villetta's state of mind and physical state. The more tired they get, the weaker and less accurate they would be, going from able to complete high-dexterity tasks with ease to lumbering fists and nothing more.

1] Pressure can't be directly manipulated as it's intangible, you need a proxy of some variety, some way of amplifying it. You need to specify the actual science. How is she doing this? Amplifying the power of her heart? Because if she did that, blood pressure would skyrocket, not to mention that it would beat too fast and work into cardiac arrest, and she'd die in moments.

2] 4,000 mA is 4,000,000 amps. Direct manipulation of current, you can kill someone with 0.1 amps targeted correctly. FAR too powerful. Voltage is fine.

3] You're jumping through a number of pointless proxies which make it inadmissable. Qi to manipulate her nervous system to then manipulate her bodily electromagnetic field and increase the voltage? That's far more than a single process to start.

4] Capacity is measured in amp-hours or watt-hours as opposed to volts. Voltage is the strength and speed the current is being pushed at.

5] Controlling it via her psyche is also an additional process. It would be sporadic manipulations targeted at best.

6] How does she not fucking DIE with this much current circulating through her veins? Is her skin made of rubber? Regeneration doesn't matter, if you have this much current surging through you on a regular basis, you're fried.

7] How does she direct it, and how does it not hit her? You SERIOUSLY need to think about the science of all this, because at the moment it's kind of incomprehensible and doesn't add up.

[Guest]

1] It's vibration converted into Pressure Waves, at the end of the day it is still Vibration regardless. As for the method, the heart is constantly emitting vibration throughout the body as it works, harnessing a naturally occurring process, and amplifying the vibration to be used.

2] 4,000 mA is 4,000,000 amps. It's actually only 4 amperes. But I've re-read a fact and I over shot the math and am reducing it to 2,000 mA.

3] Suggestions?

4] It's actually the other way around...

5] Controlling what? She can not control it, that would be impossible, but she can direct it.

6] It's not stored within the body, but outside the body. Her charging can be seen by the naked eye by anyone watching.

7] Direction is direction itself. Her arms would serve as the focal point of direction, however its only in a general direction easily set off coarse by a lightning rod. Again, she can not control the path of the electricity that is impossible.

[Guest]

1] Vibration is still intangible. It's not solid or chemical. Thus it can't be directly manipulated.

2] 1 ampere is 1000 milliamps. Amp is just a way of shortening the word ampere. First sentence of this page. Still needs to be lowered further.

3] Realistically? Work with something more tangible than electricity that doesn't require all this jumping through hoops.

4] Voltage is potential difference and electromotive force. As well as this, voltage moves the current around. Amp-hours is how long you can run for, voltage is potential energy per unit per charge. I'm a little hazy, but a 4V battery will always be a 4V battery, it won't deplete over time. Amp-hours are a unit of capacity that deplete, just like ml are a unit of capacity which you can change (pouring 200ml out of a 1000ml jug leaves you with 800ml).

5] Well, direction is a form of control. Far too precise for an intangible process, and, again, an additional process which would require an extra link to her brain.

6] Even then, when it DOES flow through her, it'd quickly kill her.

7] Yes, but how does she focus it through her arms? How does it spread from her arms into her target? Contact, or through some other measure? You're being far too vague here, and I can't understand the actual process. There's no science and it seems like you're trying to just manipulate everything to her whim through Qi.

I'm going to strongly advise to work with a more sound science. The only times in MDA that such intangible concepts can be manipulated is via a strong proxy - Apos colliding glucagon molecules on the surface of his skin to continually give himself more energy. Glucagon is a chemical which can be manipulated, and thus the alchemy works. This, so far, isn't working. You're going to need FAR more definition in the briefings and special abilities if you want this to make sense, let alone be admissible.

[Guest]

Oh, just an addendum:

[09:49:43 31/08/12] Villetta : I actually found a way around Ayden's cockblock no healing increase

My "cockblock no healing increase" isn't there because it makes no sense. You're not having a healing increase, whether it makes sense or not. That's for the degree of OP that it gets to. I will just deny a healing factor increase over and over, before you try and find a way around.

[Guest]

Going by the date of my first revise note, your archive date is September the 3rd.
