− | '''Aspects''' are facets of one's power, the most easily quantified expression of a soul's strength. These represent the most defining part of an awakened being's abilities, the elements which separate two otherwise similar individuals. Although two beings may be of nearly identical power, their abilities can vary greatly.
| + | Aspects gained by spending XP, limited by Anima. Every time you take one it modifies your colors (ex. +2 Red, or +4 Blue -3 Purple). Will have both min and max requirements. |
| | | |
− | In terms of gameplay, aspects are chosen. Each entry is a distinct aspect; you may not acquire a single aspect more than once, unless it explicity states otherwise. Your total number of aspects may never exceed your Spirit score.

− | Aspects are divided into categories (for convenience, mostly) and tiers. Tiers represent the potency of aspects in relationship to each other. A tier 1 aspect is basic, bordering on the mundane for awakened beings--tier 6 is as high as most individuals will ever get. Tiers 7 through 10 represent immense power and mastery of a specific form of ability. There are minimum Spirit requirements to select aspects from specific tiers; weaker souls simply cannot grow past certain points.

− | <u>'''Therianthropy I'''</u><br> (tier 1 shifting)<br>
| |
− | The idea of humans turning into animals, or some hybrid thereof, goes back hundreds of years. After the discovery that awakened humans could shapeshift, at least slightly, the first therianthropes came as a relatively small surprise.<br>

| |
− | <u>'''Whatever'''</u><br>
| |
− | Although demons seem innately capable of making drastic, permenant alteration to their physiology once they've accumulated enough power, humans lack that capability. While few people would even ''want'' to grow a tail or a rigid exoskeleton, there are those who are willing to disfigure themselves in such ways for the sake of power.

− | <u>'''Inner Face'''</u><br>
| |
− | Although physically altering one's own body can be a potent too, both in and out of combat, it is generally not overly useful in social situations; indeed, quite this opposite is true. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that most awakened humans who go down that path try to hide what they've become when in public.
| |
− | | |
− | If you have Inner Face you can 'deactivate' any Body Modification aspects you may have, or reactivate them, at will. Doing this in battle takes an action, though it can also be done before battle starts or between rounds. A deactivated aspect provides none of its effects (including attribute modifications), though still takes up its space as one of your aspects. Any number of aspects can be toggled in any way during a single action this way.<br>

| |
− | The concept of an alter-ego with vastly different capabilities has existed for ages; the story of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde is a particularly famous example. This ability exemplifies that, though personality changes are generally mild, if there are any at all. This gives the soul a second face, though only one can ever be dormant.<br>
| |
− | | |
− | Anyone possessing this aspect may choose a second set of aspects, paying the cost for all of them. The two are completely independant (and therefore do not apply to each others' requirements), aside from the fact that Second Self counts against both their limits. When a user switches their 'persona' they could potentially have different attributes, abilities, and so forth. Changing takes an action, and may only be done once per round.<br>

Aspects Old (Ownage)
System A
Aspects gained by spending XP, limited by Anima. Every time you take one it modifies your colors (ex. +2 Red, or +4 Blue -3 Purple). Will have both min and max requirements.
System B
Points limited by Anima, aspects gained by spending XP--either limited by Anima, or pretty expensive. Aspects have min and max requirements, but do not modify your points.
A thought: What happens if something happens "Max Red: 2" and then you later move your Red up to 3? What happens if more points become pointless?
