HISTORY:

Ishida Gina was born in central Tokyo. She did not know who her parents were. She was only informed they had passed away shortly after she was born for reasons unknown to her when she was old enough to understand; she always assumed it was a secret kept away from her. Back then, Gina was adopted by the Ishida family a day after her parents' passing. They raised the girl with the greatest love and care, which would affect Gina later on in her life in terms of showing how appreciative she was to her adoptive parents. It gave her a positive outlook on life, full of meaning and purpose as she was not abandoned from the very beginning. She knew that even if everything is stripped away from her, there is still a chance to be given something, where she would then develop a meaning or purpose out of that something. When she was old enough to enroll into school, her adoptive parents sent Gina to Academy City. They had planned for her to receive the best education she could receive from the Academia-based city. They also wanted her to find her latent potential by enrolling her into the Power Curriculum Program. They heard of many great things about the program and how espers contributed to the city, and they would have no greater honor than having their daughter grow up into a fine lady with the assistance of the best research institutions and education system. Excited at the prospect of becoming an esper, Gina wholeheartedly agree to study at Academy City.

The researchers and experimenters of the Power Curriculum Program started to analyze her brain when she was admitted into the program. They performed various procedures to unlock Gina's Personal Reality, and have performed literally everything they have in their curriculum. Then, after another experiment where the staff did not have a lot of expectations, they realized what happened: a phenomenon that shocked everyone in the building. Everything around Gina was induced with a heavy gravitational field. The researchers and experimenters were forced onto their knees, then soon onto all fours, and finally when they couldn't take it anymore, they were forced to bow their heads to the silver-haired girl.

Gina herself was aware of what was happening, and she was shocked beyond belief. What was happening to her? Is this her esper ability? Seeing everything around her forced onto the ground, especially the people unintentionally bowing down to her. It made her excited. It brought up a side of her that wanted control and dominance... As if they were all her slaves and servants! She wasn't able to control it, but she didn't care. She could let it go on and on, and she would like every second of it, her face making such a crazed expression, eyes widened and mouth watering. Suddenly, the girl coughed out a chunk of blood, and the gravity field immediately stopped. She coughed in a fit as some of the researchers and experimenters went up to check on her, the others still astonished on the spot. Using her hand to cover her mouth, Gina then looked at her blood-stained trembling hands, and her eyes widened. Her lips turned into a wicked smile. She had an epiphany to uphold what's good in Academy City and destroy what's evil. She had the power to contribute to the city and control the people with an iron fist if she wanted to.

Many years afterwards well into her teenage life, Gina had rented out a small apartment for herself, isolating herself from the world as a recluse. She wanted to live a simple life, despite all the money she was receiving from the researches and experiments she was involved in. To maintain that income, all she had to do is continue to subject herself to these research and experiments. The researchers and experimenters by now know the nature of Gina's esper ability. They dubbed it 'The Graviton', the power to manipulate gravity. Currently, they are studying how her powers interact with the Earth's gravitational field, as well as her own AIM dispersion field that has yet to be fully understood in relation to her esper ability.

As for herself, Gina enrolled into the prestigious Nagatenjouki Academy. She remembered her adoptive parents every single day, and she wanted to honor them. She developed a refined nature, upholding the appearance of herself so that she is viewed favorably by the public and would become a good role model to all those admiring her. At Nagatenjouki, she became famous for her silver hair and her elegant nature, being dubbed the Silver Queen. Students within the academy were coming to her to befriend the girl, and Gina was able to gather followers for her own personal social group, just for the sole purpose of not being alone. She wanted to have friends, and she wanted to have fun with them, even if they just wanted to be with her because of her reputation and popularity.

But overshrouding that, Gina was even more famous within Nagatenjouki for her unique esper ability, the Graviton, and how there were rumors that she was a vigilante, upholding dominance and control over the delinquents she comes across. It was her secret in doing her hidden agenda. She was targeting delinquents, wanting to force them to reform and make themselves useful to Academy City with their esper abilities, even if they are level 0s. And if they resist, she would merely make them bow down: not only to her, but also to the "Light of Academy City". Eventually, she would want to combat the members of Skill-Out, then the people that are aligned with the Dark Side. But for now, delinquents would do just fine for her. She would be the vigilante of the Light, fighting in the night, and bidding her time until it was her time to fight the darkness lurking within this city.



RANK: N/A
LEVEL: 4
GRAVITON: 重力破裂 - "Jūryoku Haretsu"; lit. Gravitational Burst

Graviton is the name given to the esper ability of Ishida Gina. An active ability that requires Gina to consciously use as well as specific limb positions to produce different applications, it is a power that manipulates the gravity of the Earth and even around the user. Because of the ability extending to the influence of her AIM dispersion field, people around Gina would notice that the gravity is a bit heavier, but not heavy enough that it would impair any movements they would make around the girl.

Gina can use her Graviton ability to attract or repel everything around her current position in a 360 degree surrounding. Gina can attract everything around her and pull them all towards her location by crossing her arms while outstretched. She can narrow down what she wants to attract by using a hand or feet and directing it in the direction she wants to affect. She has enough control to accurately pull what she wants to pull with her limb, such as an object on a table rather than a person who is sitting by that table. On the other hand, Gina can repel everything around her current location by outstretching her arms in opposite directions. Like with the use of attraction, Gina can use her hand or feet and direct it towards an area she wants to affect. By using two limbs in the same direction, the repulsive force will be doubled so that the affected objects will be repelled a further distance away than if she would have done it with only one hand. Whether it is attracting or repelling, the maximum range Gina can affect in an area is 16 meters, increasing to 40 meters with limb-direction applications. For limb-direction applications, those at 40 meters would barely feel any push or pull on their body. Meanwhile, those 1 meter away from Gina would suffer the strongest repelling or attracting force. For area of effect applications, the strength is consistent within the entire affected area. These applications of Graviton uses her own AIM dispersion field as the focal point.

Gina can also use her Graviton ability to increase or decrease the gravity around her. For increasing the gravity, which is done by pointing both her outstretched arms towards the ground, her favorite use of this application is forcing people to bow down before her on all fours with their forehead forced onto the ground. When she is decreasing the gravity, which is done by lifting her outstretched arms towards the sky, she can make the gravity zero, where people would float in mid-air should they be displaced within the affected field. Like with the use of Graviton's attracting and repelling force, the maximum range Gina can affect in an area with the increase or decrease of gravity is 16 meters, the strength of which is consistent throughout the entire area, while the range is increased to 40 meters when using limb-direction applications. People at 40 meters away from Gina will notice the gravitational difference, but would suffer the weakest of the effect, making them move very slightly heavier or lighter depending on the use of the ability. Likewise, those 1 meter away from Gina will suffer its strongest effect, either being unable to move from the ground or moving around as if they were in space once displaced. Also, Gina can use her limbs to pinpoint the area of effect to a specific target as small as a 1 meter radius circular area that outputs Graviton's strongest effect. These applications of Graviton uses the Earth's gravity as the basis.

Whenever the area of effect application is used, there is a 1 meter circular radius around Gina that is unaffected by the gravity manipulation. Also, when using either attraction, repulsion, gravitational increase or decrease, only one of the application can be used at a time. Anytime Gina uses one of these four applications, she can only affect one area at a time (with the exception of using more than one limb, where Gina can only affect a maximum of two targets at the same time by using one limb for each target). Using the area of effect application also requires her to remain stationary while retaining a consistent concentration. There are varying intervals between each use of the same application, switching to a different application, and switching between the limb-direction and area of effect applications.

Sample Post

Spoiler:

Alright. Since I’m the person Index gave responsibility for evaluating Espers, I’m the one to take care of you.

Before I start my evaluation, though, I need to state that I may not look too deep into minor details for this first eval, simply because I believe that there are things of greater importance for your character as whole.


1. Appearance

It’s not rare for me to comment on that stuff, but this time I consider it important. You’re decribing her school uniform, however what you’ve been describing isn’t the Nagatenjouki Academy uniform. So please change that.


2. Ability&History

Time for the real thing. I usually like to divide those points, however, in this case it’s actually necessary to put them together.

The first thing that came to my mind when I read was the word “Level 5”. Really, I would instantly give its user that level. And that’s the problem. This board does not allow anyone to start as a Level 5, leaving the canon characters as the only exception.
Also I would say its power would go way beyond anything those 7 could perform.

The second thought I had, lead me to comparing it with Imagine Breaker. I don’t really need to explain why, right?
However I’d consider Imagine Breaker as something “weaker”, since there are many limits and rules to it. I mean, it can negate things, yet only up to a certain extent, while only being one part of the user’s body.
That strong resemblance is already a very good reason to deny it, again.

Next my mind went on, thinking about how Academy City would handle her. There aren’t that many options. Number one would be locking her away, so that she would never be able to cause any problems, trying to find a way which would allow them to use her. Second would simply be killing her, for the sake of the big plan. Third would be breaking her mind in an attempt to turn her into an obedient dog, following all the orders of the higher ups, erasing any danger she could cause. If that doesn’t work, then option 2 would happen.
So yeah, her life wouldn’t be bright at all~

So my final thought on her ability is quite simple: I can’t approve of it.
It’s just too strong and too dangerous, while the influence of her ability on the storyline of the RP would be far too big.
Ok, she may not be someone skilled in hand-to-hand combat, but she would be able to easily erase the existence of beings like Kazakiri Hyouka, able to simply neutralise attacks like Meltdowner Beams or Railguns on touch, granting her some kind of ultimate defense.



In the end, it would be the best to find a whole new ability, instead of trying to fix the problems I named. There are other options to dissolve objects after all.

I edited the appearance and abilities. The rest of the profile will be changed with minor adjustments to reflect the changes made.

Back to it.

1. Edits

Upon reading it again, I only realised that you did a few edits, like changing your ability and your character’s appearance text. Of course the rest, like the story, are still the same. Please edit that, to fit your new ability.

2. Ability

That one is much better, I’d say.
But this wouldn’t be an eval, without nerfing.

The problem I can currently see, is the fact that she can simply use her ability 360° around her, without focusing too much etc. She would simply be able to push and pull everything around her while not really caring.
That’s pretty tough, because you cannot predict it or find a proper way of defending against it, as everything is affected. Her safe area doesn’t cut it for me, either.

What I’d prefer, is focusing more on her hands. Like making everything depend on them. Once she gives the signal gravity will happen in the direction she is targeting. It’s fair, it can be predicted and it can be dodged, so it would be playable. Of course you could keep the ability to move while using your power, then.


Next on the nerfing list would be the maxima. I can assume that her maximum force is always the one that would make normal people kneel on the ground before her, right? I’d like examples for that on her other applications of usage, just to see what would pierce through her defenses and what not.
Would it actually be possible to move, once pressured from above?

Another thing. Once you turn gravity to zero it wouldn’t mean that people are levitating. You would need to push them or something, to make them actually levitate. Pushing one away, using the same principle like in your ordinary pushing ability, would be too dangerous, though.
Simply because you are affecting Earth’s gravity in that case, which would send people flying instantly. And that may lead to instantly killing characters, looking at your limits.

Also, is there some kind of time limit? Or will her pushing and pulling continue on for an infinite amount of time until she loses focus?

I already edited everything in the profile to fit the changes, including the story. You can read it over again if you think it needs more changes.

I'll start from the bottom up regarding your concerns for the ability.

There is no time limit for an increase or decrease of gravity. She can make the gravity heavy or zero as long as she wants to as long as she doesn't move a single step or lose focus. There's no duration for pushing or pulling. Compare it to a shockwave. You will only feel one wave, that's all there is. If she wants to keep pushing or pulling, she will have to do it at 1 second intervals (I may have to increase the time intervals then). Going back to the increase or decrease of gravity, it can be stronger at the cost of performing a "shockwave" rather than doing an indefinite duration.

It's impossible for Gina to do such a combination. Remember she can only use one application at a time. So she can't make the gravity zero AND apply a repulsive force at the same time. Even if you meant she makes the gravity zero and once that ends, immediately push everyone back, then it won't send them flying like you would believe (there's a time interval anyways if she switches application).

The maximum she can send something crashing down from the air would be around the size of a helicopter. Of course, that helicopter would have to be in 50 meters for it to be affected. The maximum she can push or pull away can be something as heavy as a tank. This is an instant application (like the shockwave example I explained). The maximum for the indefinite duration would be making someone bow down on their heads.

If you want that to happen, then you also allow her to use her feet and remove the safe zone. There can still be an interval if she wants to use the SAME application, but if she wants to push someone back then immediately increase the gravity, there will be no time limit for that switch since you want her limbs to be the focal point.

For the 360 degree, it's always had been her trump card if she can't deal with the current situation. I'd prefer if she keeps it. Then, if she uses it, the maximum range can be lowered to 25 meters or even lower (as long as its reasonable). Since it uses all her power for such an attack, then the interval to use another 360 degree would be higher than ones used by the limbs. If you want it to be predictable, then she can use both her arms and raise it in the air (for decreasing gravity), pointing both her hands towards the ground by her sides (increasing gravity), arms outstretched to the side pointing opposite directions (pushing) and arms crossing each other while outstretched (pulling). This can still keep a safe area so it rewards people who gets into her vulnerable range before she uses this move. 1 meter is more than enough to fit some people cuddling around her, so it can act as a group defense.

So in short, there's benefits to using AoE vs limb-directed attacks.

AoE:
+ 360 degrees
- Lower maximum affected range
- Longer interval before using any other move (whether AoE or limb-directed)
- A "safe zone" for foes to abuse

Limb-Directed:
+ Higher maximum affected range
+ Shorter interval before using any other move (whether AoE or limb-directed)
+ No "safe zone"
+ Can focus on more specific targets rather than the entire area of direction
- Dependent on direction of limb for affected area

Also note, Gina isn't a war machine. She's an esper who wants to contribute to Academy City. If she uses her power mindlessly, of course she'll cause a lot of damage, and she doesn't want that. The only way I see her using it if it's a desperate situation or she's been severely provoked. Using the AoE moves consistently doesn't mean she's harder to be dealt with. She needs to be smart when to use it. Would she use her gravity powers inside Nagatenjouki and cause damage? I would surely say she won't. She'll just use it strong enough to make someone immobile but the pressure won't be hard enough to damage the floors.

1. History

So the moment her abilities showed up for the first time, she already had full control over it? I doubt it. She would probably be able to cause an uncontrolled increase of gravity at that time, but she wouldn’t be able to use the calculations necessary to already move things by the motion of her limbs.
After all it must have taken her lots of time to reach where she is today~

How long did the researchers take to dub her ability? It sounded to me like it took quite a long time for them to understand it and come up with a title…

I also need to warn you (don’t worry, that’s nothing to edit): Don’t underestimate Skill-Out. They’re not just cannon fodder. Some of them can turn into pretty dangerous enemies~

She surely has potential as a villain~

2. Ability

You got me wrong~ I was only trying to say that you can’t make people fly instantly without adding another impact, like them attempting to move.


The maximum force for pushing something back, sounds quite strong. Hitting a human with a force strong enough to even knock back a tank sounds lethal to me. I know that that would be the maximum and she wouldn’t really use it, however it is still too strong in my eyes. You may be able to launch normal cars, 1 to 2 tons heavy, if they are really close and you’re using full strength.

Indefinitely stunning a person sounds somewhat powerful. It somewhat represents crushing an enemy, in my eyes. I mean, it doesn’t sound like you can escape it, which makes it quite some instant K.O. attack. As long as you haven’t got anything like Imagine Breaker, or maybe Teleport you really wouldn’t be able to escape. Most likely Teleport wouldn’t even cut it, since it requires one to concentrate.
Also you’re contradicting. A force strong enough to bring down a helicopter sounds much more powerful than a force to bring people to their knees. After all both seem like an increase of gravity to me.


Alright. I still don’t believe that relying on a movement like swinging your hand, would make things more difficult. After all it would somewhat resemble Musujime’s way of aiming.
People at least would be able to tell where you are aiming and could evade your attacks. There would always be a little delay, like the time the movement takes or even the calculations you need to do before making use of it.

So after adding all those disadvantages to the 360° application, it feels easier to handle. So please define the interval and how often she would be able to use it in a fight.


I wonder: does it still apply that the farther away within that 50m of range, the weaker the force?



I’d like to point out that I’m going by the standards of normal Espers outside of Level 5. Those usually do have lots of limits to them and are forced to use their abilities in the smartest way possible to make up for it.
Looking at abilities I can’t simply go by and judge them taking the user’s personality into consideration. People change, situations can force them to do things they usually wouldn’t and Espers do have their boundaries.

No of course not. Perhaps I just haven't portray that better. I'll fix that soon.

The history section is a form of story telling. I don't literally type the point in time the scientist dubbed the ability. You put it in when it's necessary, and I feel it was necessary to put it in during the present age where the audience is wondering what was the aftermath of her uncontrolled powers during the time she first got it.

That's what I expect. Otherwise, I didn't put Gina overestimating her foes (especially delinquent-type people) for no reason.

Uhhh maybe



I've included specific ability details under misc. information. It is not overbearing and there are some costs to using stronger applications (damage to body, longer time to concentrate).

1. History

Hope you will make that edit about her ability’s first appearance I talked about in my last post~

The rest is what I wanted to hear
I just had to make sure etc.

Edit: Alright, after bringing up in the chat, I need to actually ask further questions here. If she knows about the Dark Side, the experiments surrounding the Level 5s etc., where did she get all that information? It's classified stuff after all. And I'd like you to explain how much she knows in the profile.

2. Ability

Ok. To shorten things and save you a possible nerfing chaos, I’m going to discuss Gina’s Esper level with Index. That would help to properly do the rest of the ability evaluation, by preventing any sudden ability changes.
I'm sorry for the in

Edited.

She doesn't know the specific experiments, she just knows that the researchers and experimenters are involved with the level 5s on some illegal experiments. That is part of her secret which I'll give to the mod.

Hey Gina. So I'm back and had a look through the profile and discussed with Gou in regards to what Level she should be. You will most likely be approved sometime today and while I can do that now I'll leave the honors to Gou since he did an excellent job covering for my absence.

Ok, now that you’ve removed her secret, there is nothing more to discuss.

I’m happy to say it:

Approved

From know on you shall be known as the rather strong

GRAVITON LEVEL 4
