ANTHEA COOLIDGE

ACCEPTED

CHI AUGMENTATION - (correctional officer) Through her extensive training in martial arts, Anthea has developed an acute control over her chi. She is able to focus and channel her inner energy throughout her body, augmenting physical attacks. Through a single post charge, she is able to channel her chi into her arms, gifting her punches with explosives attributes on contact. For the next turn, every hit emits a small pressurized blast of air, causing a two meter knockback to those she hits directly, while only a one meter push occurs if she barely misses. By channeling her chi to her legs for a short duration (1 ¹/₂ posts) she is able to increase her speed by two mps, doubling the strength of her legs and allowing her to achieve nearly double her jumping height. The current limits of her chi augmentation allow one further use. Once per thread, she is able to temporarily enhance her entire body with chi by charging for a post, doubling her senses and allowing her to maneuver with incredible dexterity. Her movements gain a boost of one mps, and all physical attacks with her body gain cutting properties through the aura of chi that surrounds her. Furthermore, during this state which lasts three posts, any attacks of equal rank are halved and her overall stamina reserves begin to overflow, allowing long strings of attacks up to four hits in combo. If she lands one hit, she's more likely to land the rest in succession. Any augmentation of chi, is followed by a two post cooldown to avoid any strain on her body, though she may not charge chi during this cooldown.

STEEL-TOED BOOTS Consisting of standard grade military combat boots, thick black leather stretches from her calves to her toes. Metal rings pararell its outer walls, and dark black laces bind them together. The interior of her boot is designed to allow maximum comfort and arch support, insuring safety of her feet in any combat related excercise. In addition, the material of the boot if somewhat pliable, to avoid hindering her kicks and allowing a full range of motion. The special design of her boots has covered the toe in a steel plate, backing her kicks with added force. On the sole of her shoes is a pressure sensitive plate that releases a three inch blade from the toe of her boot. As she stomps with her boots, the pressure activates the small mechanism causing the blade to swivel out. Her boots, while quite durable, will break after sustaining C-rank damage, though any damage received will be repaired by the warden's staff free of charge (next thread).
