Character Details

Yigarick'tachuk, or Yiggy as he is more commonly known, is an ex-cultist of the, now deceased, garden goddess Xeranie. He hails from a land where who you worship is more important than your species or birthplace, as such the crime of losing one's god holds a hefty punishment, to be marked as Faithless. Cursed to wander an eternal pilgrimage Yiggy bears the scars of many trials and misfortunes. Despite his tragic circumstances Yiggy maintains an steadfast optimism, although one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise given how prone he is to mood swings. He tends to feel emotions in extremes, subtlety is not something Yiggy is familiar with. The strangest of his leftover practices is his ritual flagellation. Yiggy has taken to his punishment with an unusual fervor, finding invigoration in his own suffering. This has left him with a sort of martyr complex where he believes he alone can endure the needless suffering of the world. This constant euphoria to pain has left him somewhat gullible, however, as punishment is often not a deterrent for him.

RP Information

Yiggy feels emotions much more strongly than your average snake. There is no slightly happy or sad for him, it is normally full throttle. He has an obsession with lifting other people's burdens and a desperate need to prove himself useful. Despite his cult origins and scarred visage Yiggy does his best to be kind and helpful towards others.

Endure

User gains Endure status this turn. Endure status: the user will endure at 1 HP against the first attack that would have KO'd them.

Bide

User casts this move to begin charging and casts again on a future turn to attack. On turns in between, the user pays a Sustain cost that grows linearly from the base (i.e. 3 → 6 → 9... etc.). On launch, the user pays the Sustain cost for the turn instead of the move's base cost. All damage dealt by enemy strikes is stored as a counter while Bide is charging. When released, deals Direct Damage equal to ×2 the amount stored. Damage per Bide is capped at ×2 the user's max HP. This damage is not affected by positive modifiers whatsoever, including Effectiveness.

Rest

User heals for Level ×10 HP. User can cure [2] layers of all statuses or [4] layers of one status, though Sleepy cannot be selected to be cured. User also gains Sleepy [4]. The amount of Sleepy applied to the user scales with Agile and Strong Style.

Follow Me

Generates a size 2 Aura around the user. The first time an enemy casts an attack within the Aura each turn, it must include the user as the primary target. Sustain cost: 4 Stamina.

Hold Hands

User creates a chain of Holding Hands upon casting. Allies can approach the user or others already part of the chain by standing adjacent to their position. AoEs that strike those in Hold Hands will have double the AoE penalty. Additionally, single-target damage is evenly distributed between immediately adjacent allies Holding Hands. A single person can only Hold two Hands.

Wide Guard

Reduces incoming AoE attacks by -100%. If the Aura suffers two strikes that activate this effect, it is disabled until the next turn. Sustain cost: 6 Stamina.

Safeguard

Generates a size 3 Aura that reduces incoming statuses by [2] layers on application while standing within. Sustain cost: 4 Stamina.

Mist

Generates a size 3 Aura that reduces incoming debuffs by 2 layers on application while standing within. Sustain cost: 4 Stamina.

Belch

Chains into an Item action, which must be a consumable. Cannot be used without doing so. The item's effects are nullified and each capacity point that item had adds +100% to this move, to a maximum of +300%.

Stockpile

User gains +1 Defense and +1 Resistance. Each cast generates a Stockpile layer on the user. The user can have up to three total at a time.

Yiggy's Endure
