Zion

* Dr. Romanov
* Annah

## Personality

Usually keeps a cheerful and easygoing fasade in order to get along with people better. Though in actuality wants to acquire as much benefits and profit as possible. Sometimes he might delay his greedy nature in order to get people to misunderstand his true intentions. He wants to get power, influence and wealth in order to live a pleasant life. Even though his public researcher self is a mask to earn the public respect and disguise his underground self, he genuinely enjoys research and technological development. In his mind good and successful research can give a lot of influence, benefits and power.

Annah - a spirit which was released from the ring. She has a rather serious attitude because of her situation on being a soul, however she occasionally likes teasing others especially Zion. Often quite playful and jokes around, however she hides her depressed side behind humor and smile. Her desire is to regain her body so she could interact with the world more. She also wants a pleasant life for other sealed spirits inside the ring who are yet to see the light of day.

## Backstory

Solomon lived a rather relaxed life in Prometheus. His life was rather peaceful, he was given good education. He especially excelled at various sciences. However it all changed when his parents died from sickness, unable to get treatment cause the only remaining medicine was bought in advance by a much more wealthy man and it would take too long for the medicine team to produce more. This made Romanov realise the power of wealth and influence. Thus he aspired to get it himself. As his public face, he got employed in Prometheus research team and is currently in high position due to his scientific achievements, however he also started extending his influence to the underworld under Zion alias. His way of life was rather relaxed as he wanted to earn good standing so he could spend a pleasant life. In one of his planetary expeditions he found a ring which later played a big part in his life. He especially cared about Annah, a spirit released from the ring who he wants to grant a body. Thus he is currently researching on ways to use purely consciousness and soul to move a body on its own. How will his adventures go? Only time will tell.

### Specialisations

Science, research, technologies, magecraft, medicine, drawing, cosplaying.

## Power

### Zone of Control

Source: Affinity and Inheritor

Solomon can deploy a domain-like zone which has various effects either around himself or be stuck in one area. The zone has a size cap of 10 meter radius (it can be smaller if Zion wants) and it expands at 5 m/s (so it takes a second for a zone to be fully deployed). Pre deployed zone can be shot at 10m/s and it expands either or impact or when Solomon pleases. Max range of this sphere projectile is 15 meters. So far the zone can be deployed for 12 turns max and then having 6 turn cooldown. The zone can be decasted earlier in which case the cooldown is also shortened. If zone was active for 1-2 turns then it will have 1 turn cooldown, if zone was active for 3-4 turns then it will have 2 turns cooldown and so on.

Zone has 2 types of effects - the inside zone effects and membrane effects. It also provides a complete awareness of what is happening in his zone. He can also change the way the membrane looks while the inside is completely transparent. The zone itself boasts in massive increase in power of certain effects as well as massive power disruption effects of same types for his opponents.. Exact details will be provided case by case. He usually gains those effects through learning and training and in fact he can use those effects without the zone, however those effects are much weaker that way (regular passed down power level). Combining effect with Zone of Control however, strengthens that effect, bringing it to affinity level.

Current effects and powers he has:

**Telekinesis (without zone):** He can use telekinesis. The range of telekinesis is same as his zones projectile range + zones max radius so at the moment it’s 20 meters. It takes 1 second to establish a link in a form of condensing ripple effect which fades after the link is established. He can’t control other people that way (doesn’t apply to non-biological creatures aka robots can be affected, same goes for himself, he can use telekinesis on himself), though objects he control can affect others, for example dropping heavy rock on someone is a possibility.

TK Stats:

* For every 10 kg more than 50 the speed will decrease by 2 m/s but the force will increase by 1.
* Max objects at any time 3
* Max total weight 100kg.

He can focus more on 1 object to make it resist opposition, however it still retains normal stats and damage (in other words he could affect a sword and try pulling it with more lifting strength so if a person holding the sword doesn’t exceed the focus lifting strength the sword can be pulled away).

His telekinesis has 2 forms: rough control and free control.

He can either control 3 objects with rough control or 1 with free control. This is considered per turn. Changing rough controlled objects flying direction consumes a charge.

**Telekinesis (Zone of control version):**

* For every 100 kg more than 100 the speed will decrease by 4 m/s but the force will increase by 2
* Max objects at any time 5
* Max total weight 800kg.

He can focus more on 1 object to make it resist opposition, however it still retains normal stats and damage (in other words he could affect a sword and try pulling it with more lifting strength so if a person holding the sword doesn’t exceed the focus lifting strength the sword can be pulled away).

**Disruption part:** He can now prevent things he controls from being controlled by other people.

### Lifeblood Ring

Source: Artifact

It is a ring which Solomon encountered in one of his planetary explorations. He found it in a city ruins which seemed to belong to a lost civilization. When he found it he put it on his finger however nothing happened. On his way back to the ship his scouting team got attacked by beasts and Solomon got injured by one, luckily he and his scouting team disposed of the monster pack however Solomon’s injury caused blood to drip on the ring. That’s when ring resonated with Solomon and the gem embedded in it turned red as a symbol that the ring got soulbound to Roman. Roman noticed a link with a ring. This allowed him to always know where ring is and even if it was lost or stolen he could always resummon the ring on his index finger which was the finger he first put on that ring. The first ability he noticed ring having was a spatial storage device. It seemed boundless at first, however he noticed that he was too weak to utilise the entire ring space so for some reason he could only control 1 cubic meter of space, the rest was inaccessible to him at that moment.

A surprising event happened when he first stabilised a small portion of ring space for him to use, a girl spirit formed inside that space who after noticing the consciousness (Solomon) which let her “free”, escaped the ring. She still possessed no body, so she appeared as spirit who could make herself visible only to Solomon or to everyone. She introduced herself as Annah and informed Solomon of this ring. She didn’t know how the ring was called, however she knew that the ring’s creator was a powerful archwizard who specialised in alchemy, artificing and object creation. However, the ring ended up being way more powerful than the creator initially intended and upon all the magic sequence activation ended up sucking out all the souls in that planet, only leaving miasma which served as a great monster spawning source. She was one of the souls sealed inside and she didn’t have that vast of a knowledge to know the ring’s full capabilities. All she knew was the soul-sucking part and that there are more spirits sealed inside the ring.

Solomon noticed thanks to the ring that he got a higher aptitude for learning magic and that’s how he made his zone do something aside from just being there - he learned telekinesis which he noticed got strengthened inside his zone. As a response to his Telekinesis awakening, the ring itself gained a new ability - weight manipulation. Though it was hard to tell if the ring gained a new ability or did Zion met a certain criteria to unlock one of it’s abilities. He couldn’t tell because his newly gained weight manipulation ability greatly worked together with Telekinesis. The fact that his weight manipulation range was the same as his telekinesis range, the fact that he could freely manipulate a weight of an object in a range of 1kg-800kg and resetting weight back to its original weight as long as the object was in radius. He also noticed that while he can’t use this weight manipulation directly on another living biological organism, he could still manipulate his own weight without it disrupting any of his biological functions. The spacial ring feature was a bit shorter range. It had a radius of 5 meters around the ring where he could pull in and out objects. The only exception to this ability it seemed was the inability to pull in living biological creatures, but that’s about it. Because of rings close attunement to himself, Solomon called the ring as Lifeblood ring and covered it with glove pretty much all the time.

Tl;dr:

A ring artifact with a potential to get more abilities in the future. It seems to have sealed a bunch of creatures inside but Zion was only able to free one so far - Annah. The abilities Zion can use with the ring is treat it as a spatial storage device. The total volume of things he can store inside seems to correlate with a diameter of his zone. So now he can store 1 cubic meters worth of weapons and equipment and unlimited amount of miscellaneous stuff. Ring’s pull in and out range is the same as his Zone’s radius - 5 meters. He can pull in almost anything. The only thing he can’t for some reason pull in was other biological living beings. Which is kinda weird considering the fact that ring sucked out all the souls from a planet. The other ability he got was weight manipulation which is influenced by his other stats. His weight manipulation array seem to be the same as his telekinesis weight limits. In other words he can make object weight from 1kg to 800kg in a range of 20 meters. He can’t affect other living biological creatures with weight manipulation, the only exception to that rule is himself. In fact as a ring wearer, the ring power prevents body from collapsing from potential uneven weight. In other words he might weight a lot or a little but it has no influence on his biological functions. He can always know of rings location and make it teleport/resummon on his index finger - a finger on which soulbind took place. It takes 1 second for an object to appear and there is a visual indicator when an object goes in and out the ring. There is no visual indicator for pulling stuff inside the ring, only pulling stuff out the ring.
