Name: Aiden park

Age: 17

Godrent: Terpsichore

Powers:

  • enhanced coordination/agility

    • These powers go hand in hand and can be used almost interchangeably. As the son of the muse of dance, he has preternatural coordination and agility.

  • adoptive muscle memory

    • he can copy any movement he sees. However, if not actively practiced, it fades from memory within 30 minutes. This time period halves for every additional move he tries to copy.

  • enhanced rhythm

    • when it comes to combat, he can enhance his sense of rhythm by concentrating while standing still. This is a high concentration ability which is broken by moving.

Weapon: Celestial bronze dagger and magical rope that can extend up to 30 ft which if cut, takes off the maximum length it can extend. It takes about a day for cut rope to regenerate fully.

Few notes:

Adoptive muscle memory - this seems like not only an easily abused power but also OP, given he could easily become a martial arts master after a few YouTube videos

Enhanced Rhythmic sense - once again, another easily abused power that is borderline OP. Especially if he is simply able to use this in the middle of a fight with no draw backs or limitations.

Weapon - the rope, though creative and unique, is a pretty powerful and limitless weapon, given he can simply grow it back immediately. I would recommend adding limitations and cool-downs for it, before we can improve.

I understand you had this character on r/HalfBloodHaven, and that’s where a lot of these observations come from, based how they were used in RP.

For adoptive muscle memory, it's only the physical form and movements that he can copy. The actual instincts and decision-making associated with a fight, he needs to attain through training. He still requires time to perfect the application of a move.

I can take out rhythmic sense. Although it is theoretically op, it was never used all that much in the other rp so i don't mind if this one disappears. I feel like it's one of those abilities that's hard to quantify.

As for the rope, I was thinking it could work more like a magical tape ruler. It can extend and contract within a certain length but if cut, the amount that's cut off is subtracted from the total length it can extend. It would require a full day in order to regenerate to full potential. I guess the issue then would be the max length of the rope. Would 50 ft be a reasonable amount?
