Soul Skill
Skill Name: 
Skill Description: Not even Gene is entirely sure what the God Hand does. As far as he can tell, all it does is heats up his arm and grants the entirety of his body superior fortitude and power. As for an appearance, the entirety of Gene's right arm is engulfed in a shining golden aura, bright tribalesque tattoos appear on his arm, and his entire demeanor changes and becomes even more excitable than usual.
Strengths: As far as Gene knows, all the God Hand does is boost his physical strength and physical fortitude. What he doesn't realize, is that the surface temperature of the arm actually increases fifty degrees, though unless he's holding onto you, you don't quite notice it while under attack.
Weaknesses: The odd part about the God Hand is that it holds no particular weakness that Gene is aware of. The only downside that tends to occur is Gene becomes tired for a recuperation period after the God Hand fades.
Note: The bracer on genes right arm bursts off when the God Hand is activated, the pieces hovering in mid air out of the way, surrounding the fight. The Bracer stays hovering near by even when the God Hand deactivates, and does so until Gene finishes recovering, then the bracer flies back to his arm, and reattaches itself to it.
StagesStage 1: Unseal.Description: Gene's right arm flashes into its powered state and a very slight shock wave emanates from it, lightly pushing back on those within 3 feet. The surface temperature of the arm increases by 50 degrees, making it a very uncomfortable thing to be gripped by in the middle of a fight.
Activation Method: Raw. Gene has absolutely no control over the God Hand, no control, no influence. Not physical, mental, or emotional. The God Hand at this stage veritably has a mind of its own and will turn on at absolute random, giving gene the capacity for a critical amount of overkill, or not turning on at all, even when he's about to get the living shit kicked out of him.
Duration/Uses: 6 posts. Gene himself is unsure just how many uses he will get out of the God Hand, considering he doesn't control it. The most it has ever activated in a single fight was three times, but Gene suspects he would be capable of five uses before being unable to continue fighting. Recuperation time: 5 posts
Statistic Effects: 1.5x str, 1.5x con.
Statistical Requirements: N/A
Stage 2: Unleash.Description: Gene's right arm flashes into its powered state and a slight shock wave emanates from it, pushing back on those within 5 feet. The surface temperature of the arm increases by 200 degrees, offering a burning sensation to those struck or gripped.
Activation Method: Uncontrolled. Gene's emotional state can now influence the God Hand. Rage can activate it as well as fear and the eminence of death or serious bodily harm.
Duration/Uses:
Statistic Effects: 2x str, 2.25x con.
Statistical Requirements:
Stage 3: Release.Description: Gene's right arm flashes into its powered state and a strong shock wave emanates from it, pushing harshly back on those within 10 feet. The surface temperature of the arm increases by 600 degrees, making it an unbearable experience for those gripped by it, and leaving nasty burns where contact is made with the skin of the enemy for more than a couple of seconds.
Activation Method: Semi-Controlled. Gene can now influence the God Hand on a physical level, with enough focus he can get it to turn on, but it will likely be a rare moment indeed when he can get the time required to turn it on right where he needs it.
Duration/Uses:
Statistic Effects: 2.25x str, 2.75x con.
Statistical Requirements:
Stage 4: Summon.Description: Gene's right arm flashes into its powered state and a powerful shock wave emanates from it, shoves back on those within 10 feet, easily knocking over someone who is rather light. The surface temperature of the arm no longer goes through a simple temperature increase, but instead, ignites into a mild engulfment of red, orange, and yellow flames. Primarily located around the fist, the flames are visible around the glowing tattoos all up and down the God Hand.
Activation Method: Controlled. Gene can now summon the God Hand at will, though being half unconscious will obviously prevent him from doing so.
Duration/Uses:
Statistic/Elemental Effects: 3x str, 3.5x con. The God Hand now carries a full fire elemental affiliation, but at the current stage, a substantial dousing (submergence) will immediately extinguish the arms flames and drop the strength increase from 3x back down to 2x.
Statistical Requirements:
Stage 5: Burn!Description: Gene's right arm bursts into its powered state and a powerful shock wave emanates from it, shoving back on those within 12 feet, likely blowing most people under 150 lbs back several feet if they're too close to Gene. The surface temperature of the arm no longer goes through a simple temperature increase, but instead, ignites into an engulfment of red, orange, and yellow flames. Primarily located around the fist and lower forearm, the flames are visible around the glowing tattoos all up and down the God Hand. The flames of the tattoos on the forearm and fist are now substantially larger.
Activation Method: Controlled. Gene now fully controls the God Hand and it will only activate by itself if he's in danger of being killed.
Duration/Uses:
Statistic/Elemental Effects: 3x str, 2x dex 3.5x con. The God Hand now carries a full fire elemental affiliation, but at the current stage, a substantial dousing (submergence) will immediately extinguish the arms flames and drop the strength increase from 3x back down to 2x.
Statistical Requirements:
Stage 6: Roar!!Description: Gene's right arm bursts into its powered state and a powerful shock wave emanates from it, shoving back on those within 12 feet. The power of the shock wave will blow most people away from Gene if they're within five feet at activation. The surface temperature of the arm no longer goes through a simple temperature increase, but instead, ignites into an engulfment of orange, yellow, and white flames. Engulfing all of the lower arm, the flames are visible around the glowing tattoos all up and down the God Hand. The flames of the tattoos on the forearm and fist are now substantially larger.
Activation Method: Mastered. Gene has mastered control of the God Hand to where he could activate it with even the smallest shred of consciousness left in his body, which will then inevitably save his ass.
Duration/Uses:
Statistic/Elemental Effects: 3.25x str, 2.25x dex 3.75x con. The God Hands flames are now strong enough to sustain further exposure to water and would require several seconds of submergence to extinguish. Should they, it will drop the strength increase from 3.25x back down to 2.5x.
