Power System: The Exceed
Overview
In my world there exists, individuals that possess unique abilities known as "Exceeds," which are extraordinary powers with every ability being diverse and unique to each individual. These powers can range from manipulating elements to altering reality, making each Exceed user, or "Exceeder," distinct and formidable in their own right.
Origins
The origin of Exceeds is shrouded in mystery. Legends speak of a cosmic event known as "The Awakening," where a celestial entity granted humanity these powers. Others believe it is the result of an ancient experiment or an evolutionary leap. The true origin is a central plot point, driving the narrative and character motivations.
Classification of ExceedsExceeds are categorized into different classes based on their nature and capabilities. Each class defines the scope and limits of the powers granted to the Exceeder.
Physical Exceeds: Enhance physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, and endurance. Examples include superhuman strength, lightning-fast reflexes, and extreme durability.
Elemental Exceeds: Control natural elements like fire, water, earth, air, and lightning. These abilities can be used for both offense and defense, such as creating fireballs, summoning tidal waves, or manipulating the weather.
Mental Exceeds: Focus on cognitive and psychic powers, including telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, and mind control. These abilities often require intense concentration and mental fortitude.
Manipulative Exceeds: Allow control over external forces and objects. This includes abilities like gravity manipulation, time dilation, spatial control, and energy manipulation.
Transformative Exceeds: Enable the user to alter their own form or that of others. Examples include shapeshifting, size alteration, and regenerative healing.
Development and Mastery Exceeds undergo rigorous training to hone their abilities. Mastery of an Exceed Ability involves three stages:
Awakening: The initial discovery and manifestation of the Exceed Ability. This stage is often accompanied by intense emotional or physical stress.
Enhancement: The stage where Exceeds refine their control and expand their capabilities. Training, experience, and sometimes mentorship from more experienced Exceeds play a crucial role.
Transcendence: The pinnacle of Exceed mastery. At this stage, Exceeds unlock the full potential of their abilities, often gaining new and unforeseen powers.
Exceed Guilds and Organizations Various guilds and organizations exist to manage and regulate Exceeds. These groups provide training, support, and missions for their members, and they often have their own agendas and rivalries. The main three are:
The Vanguard: A global organization dedicated to maintaining peace and order. They train Exceeds to use their powers for the greater good and protect humanity from rogue Exceeds.
The Eclipse: A secretive group with a hidden agenda, often involved in underground activities. They believe in the superiority of Exceeds and seek to create a new world order.
The Sanctuary: A neutral organization that provides refuge and support for Exceeds seeking to understand and control their abilities without interference.
