[TCP] ABILITY CHECK

[knux400]

Got a TCP but you don't know what it does? See what its ability is here!

[1011686]

Not a specific type, but do abstract types ever have some kind of talent when they're not ascended? Nothing incredible but just like, a slight above average level of skill at actions related to the type or something?

[seppawku]

what would insect type do?

Not by default, no. Some abstract types are interested in activities related to their typing and pursue them further, others couldn't care less and do something else instead.

what would insect type do?

It's hard to say for such a nonspecific type, but I think it would radiate an aura of creepy-crawlyness.

[1011686]

What would a collective-type be like? I'm guessing it would be creature-type, and it would have the same kind of group-mind that collectives have, but what would its ability be?

[knux400]

A collective type would radiate an aura that encourages other people to talk to themselves more.

also it's great at making bad decisions /s

Gamer type (creature)?

[knux400]

PRO GAMER MOVE

Gamer types generate a passive aura that creates a competitive spirit in others around it, especially towards video games. It may also influence their speech patterns.

Bonus ability name because it was too good to pass up

[AceOfNothing]

Does Shark type have an ability yet? Any idea what it might be?

[knux400]

Shark types exert a passive aura that encourages others to try and snuggle under the shark type's arms

[cosmo]

martyr and beacon?

[knux400]

Martyr (creature)- Generates a passive aura that 'marks' anyone near the martyr type. 'Marks' have no effect until the target learns of the martyr type's death, at which point the marked targets will deeply sympathize with the martyr type and have a strong desire to fulfill any goals it had in life.

Beacon (machine)- Receives electrical power/shred power in order to generate a bright light and various forms of radio signal. It must generate everything at once, it cannot choose to only generate light, for instance.

[victorianflorist]

Pooka, Naiad, and Florist?

[King-Clod]

Dating Sim (Genre) type?

[knux400]

Pooka (creature)- supposedly brings good or bad fortune, although the exact effects are largely unknown.

Naiad (creature)- radiates an aura of jealousy

Florist (creature)- flowers held by this TCP look more enticing

Dating Sim (abstract)- when ascended, can cause others to behave as if they were in a stereotypical dating sim (i do not play enough dating sims to know what that entails)

[RibbonCharm]

Morriña?

[skinstealer]

morriña type has the ability to ascend and induce states of melancholic nostalgia, typically for something personal to the target.

[cosmo]

martian (creature) type please? realized im not actually sure what role extra played cause idk their ability whoops

[knux400]

Morrina (Abstract)- rin beat me to the punch on this one, curse yoooou

Martian (Creature)- generates a passive aura of disbelief/skepticism

[seppawku]

i assume blanket’s a standard form type, able to make things into their typing, but i wanted to doublecheck? also, if there’s a canon ability name...

[knux400]

blanket is storage actually! they can drape themselves over other TCPs to heal and comfort them, but the effect is reduced the less they're actually covering the TCP (so just being draped over a foot would barely do anything, but being completely huddled under a blanket would give the full effect)

the ability name is COMFORT WRAP if i remember correctly

[allhallowed]

asking on behalf of cosmo who was planning on asking on behalf of yew, what's a possible ability for a worm-on-a-string/dragon/cerberus hybrid type? thanks!

[knux400]

@allhallowed

Worm-on-a-string: Creature, makes those around it want to dangle it from things
Dragon: Creature, has a passive aura of hoarding and finds cool things more easily
Cerberus: Creature, those around it hear two additional voices in their head

Worm-on-a-string/Dragon/Cerberus: two additional voices- one urges people to hoard items, the other urges people to dangle the worm

[seppawku]

What's gummi shark type's ability?

[AceOfNothing]

Okay so, when a body type (for example tail) makes a limb on another object, does the new limb look like the body type of the host

Ex: Designer tail type makes a tail on a fuzzy blanket, would the tail have the pattern of the tcp or the blanket

[seppawku]

wish type?

[cosmo]

teru teru bōzu/dullahan type with an atmospheric (rainy) modifier? (idk if modifiers impact ability or not so including jic)

[King-Clod]

Secret Handshake type?

[skinstealer]

@BlueCrowned

gummi shark:

CREME COATED THOUGHTS- Gummi shark types have a passive aura that creates an urge to consume sweets, particularly ones with interesting textures to the person in question.

>Okay so, when a body type (for example tail) makes a limb on another object, does the new limb look like the body type of the host

all TCPs with creation abilities make new material of their typing that resembles them, such as making a new body part from scratch. a change however, such as the case of a form type changing a person into another material, will maintain the previous patterns this also applies to changing a body part into another one, such as turning an arm into a leg.

@seppawku

>wish type?

wish type:

UPON A STAR- Wish types can sacrifice health to enter an ascended state. Once they are in this state, they can spend health to make "wishes"- a wish can be wanting anything to happen, and eventually, it will come true. The more dramatic the wish, the more health it will cost, with things such as killling a person taking the entire TCP's health. The time period a wish will take varies, and is unknown to the TCP until the wish has been made.

@king-clod

>Secret Handshake type?

GIMME A HAND- Secret Handshake types can sacrifice health to enter an ascended form. Once in this form, they can perform a secret handshake with other TCPs that conveys information, thoughts, or emotions directly to the other TCP. New handshakes cost health to "create", but established ones can be used at any time. Recipient TCPs can also pass on these handshakes to other people, even if they aren't the handshake type themselves.
