Kuon/Abilities

## Rapture ~ In sync with the melody

Kuon's true power is his unreal synergy with his own Rapture and its uniqueness when originating from his existence. It is the force that empowers him based on his emotions, clashing with other's views and bending the world to reach his desired outcome. This is not an omnipotent reality shifting ability though, its abilities are quite limited.

It grants many abilities, though through this is the only way Kuon may cast anything, as he cannot naturally use magic:

* It can deny instant-kills and changing effects on the user, this includes many things, from trying to alter his past through time travel, rewriting him, or paralyzing him, he can cleanse and disable all of it.

* It can immediately overpower any form of mind control or psychic ability inflicted on Kuon.

* It seems to be capable of a limited degree of reality shifting (which is how it does most of its effects), this allows Kuon to cast his own brand of magic, though he must've at least seen what he wants to do before. Among it's more powerful interactions is being able to stop someone from fading away due to temporal interference or something of the same nature.

* It is through this power that Kuon subconsciously bends his fate and reality, naturally choosing the path of least resistance to his goals. (see "Revelation [EX+++]" in skills).
* Kuon can influence other people's senses and reality, but he ***cannot*** alter their essence or history itself.

### The power of severance

His main ability, the ability to "sever" (which in most cases simply means cut) anything, with the choice of making the cut permanent. Allow me to further clarify this, it is permanent in the most explicit sense, if he makes a wound permanent, you cannot regenerate it, you cannot cut your arm off and regrow it without the wound, and even if you switch bodies, it WILL follow you; until he deactivates the permanency if he wants to.

He can cut anything, from physical to metaphysical, this includes deactivating magic and phasing through effects unhinged.

Any attack he does that has a red tint can gain these abilities, which is a major warning to not try to block anything Kuon sends your way, as any collision with any of his attacks might take an arm off you.

One of his strongest uses of this ability is being able to cut distances, teleporting or extending effects, and severing spells from someone's repertoire, making them unable to cast the same spell again.

### Shards of The Fell Star

Kuon has previously created several "fragments of red glass" that function similarly to his power, gifting them to people, essentially allowing easy dimensional/universal travel.

Each shard of glass is bound to the person it was given to, it cannot be lost and it is truly unbreakable.

It is not yet clear what they actually are, Omega said that it looked like Kuon's blade, to which he responded he's not sure why he made them like this, but he'll keep the true nature of the shards secret for now.

### **God Shattering Star**

After breaking the other half of his lock Genesis had and retaking his life, Kuon's Rapture is strong enough that he can cut through reality itself, through Genesis. On use of this ability, Kuon will open a gap in reality from which his own world will filter, drowning the current universe in black, ethereal, and opaque blood-like liquid for an instant.

During this instant, Kuon and a selected target or number of targets will find themselves in a flowering field with a black hollow sun with a crimson corona in the sky. This area does not follow the rules of Genesis, and is instead directly manifested by Kuon himself. This instant lasts eternal and the remaining effects on Kuon and his target(s) will only manifest into reality after he deactivates God Shattering Star and the flood passes.

### Parallel divergence

Using his Rapture, Kuon can create divergent real afterimages of himself that are the embodiment of the creation of possibilities. Every single one of these afterimages is completely indestructible, however they can take and block hits just like Kuon himself, and their attacks are **very** real.

This could be considered the ultimate expression of second magic and the dimensional refraction phenomenon, the creation of infinite parallel worlds born of oneself.

#### **Every moment matters**

Kuon's ultimate attack is the utilization of parallel divergence in a long sequence of attacks inspired by the people he's met in his life. This sequence can be extended for all eternity unless the real Kuon is killed during it, and there is no established order for the attacks.

The attacks used (for now) are, all utilizing crimson glass weaponry:

* A dash into a short hop and an aerial spin with dual blades, mimicking Ciel.
* A downwards cleave into the ground that sends forth a blast composed of an infinite amount of slashes, mimicking Astora's (now broken) Excalibur.
* The summoning of a massive red blade from below the target, mimicking Lucius.
* A falling piercing lunge from the cosmos, mimicking Pantheon.
* A .99c dash into a physical strike to the head, mimicking Setanta/Leeren.
* Another dash that leaves behind a sonic boom, destabilizing the opponent to then slash through with two knives, mimicking both Jhin and Adagio.
* The shooting of crimson severing beams from one's body, mimicking Ishtar.
* The creation of different kinds of floating weapons around the user for a compound attack with all of them, mimicking Excellion's armiger.
* The designation of a cubical dimensional section of the world around the target's body, imitating Tael's perfect cube.
* The usage of 7th refraction with a sheathed blade, mimicking Blade and Tsukihi.
* The flash into a clean slash with the back of a scythe, mimicking Tatl.
* An instant cut through the target and the space between them while first holding the blade backwards, Kuon's original attack and his first ever offensive action against Chaos during the Black Legion's prologue.

### **False composition**

Kuon's body is made of a material that does not exist in this world. By this I don't mean that it has not been discovered or created yet, I mean that it literally does not exist in this world, only in Kuon's own reality.

The properties of the material are completely undefined by Genesis and completely up to Kuon at any given moment, including resistance, durability, flammability, etc.

With this ability, Kuon can essentially gain immunities and resistances as he sees fit, including elemental resistances and immunity to conventional weapons.
