Knack System [WIP]

Upon creating a character, each player receives their Knack (こつ, Kotsu), which is a unique ability that are only available to PCs within the game. Each Player is granted a Knack seed upon being registered in the game, referred to as the zero form, where the Seed observes the characteristics of the Player. Once analysis is complete, the Knack takes form and hatches, and the seed is replaced by a crest unique to the Player. Once a Seed is hatched, it is impossible for it to be replaced. Past the zero form, there are six levels that a seed can reach with each level changing its form and potentially adding abilities or types.

A Knack can take on different types based on the nature of its form or ability. It is commonly thought that the nature of the player is what determines the type of Knack they receive. There are eight types of Knack with Hybridization being available at specific levels.


Zero Form: This is the Seed form of a Knack.

Level 1: This is the first activated form.

Level 2: This is the second activated form.

Level 3: This is the third activated form. At this level, a Knack can hybridize with an additional typing. [+1 ability]

Level 4: This is the fourth activated form.

Level 5: This is the fifth activated form.

Complete: This is the final form. At this level, a Knack can hybridize with an additional typing. [+1 ability]



Arms-Type: This type will take the form of a melee weapon. It is generally wielded by someone who is sure of themselves or brash when in combat.

Clad-Type: This type will take the form of armor. It is generally wielded by someone who is sturdy and favors defense in combat.

Marksman-Type: This type will take the form of a ranged weapon such as a bow or a gun. It is generally wielded by someone who is cautious and prepared.

Body-Type: This type will take the form of the users body undergoing some form of change. It is generally wielded by someone who is keen on close combat and isn't afraid to take damage.

Chariot-Type: This type will take the form of a vehicle/mount of some type. It is generally wielded by someone who prefers to escape from combat or has a more timid nature.

Servant-Type: This type takes the form of an NPC that is either human or non-human in shape. It is generally wielded by someone who is cowardly and wants someone to protect them.

Area-Type: This type has no physical form, but allows one to control the environment around them in a 10-meter radius. [Think of it like bending from ATLA] It is generally wielded by someone who is controlling and wants to control the things that happen around them.

Structure-Type: This type takes the form of a structure of some sort that usually has high defensive/offensive capabilities and generally low to no mobility. It is generally wielded by introverts who are careful and gentle by nature.
