Mimicopy

General Overview: The Mimicopy

A Mimicopy is a person who can mimic or copy the abilities of others. Though it usually only refers to copying abilities, they can sometimes copy something else as well. Though this does not include mimics or creatures with natural shape changing abilities, this special ability is not limited to any particular species.

Powers:

* Copy Ability/Power: The most common Mimicopy ability is the ability to copy other's abilities. This is usually temporary, and at most can only last a few days. The number and length can vary between people.
* Copy Skill/Talent: The ability to copy skills or talents possessed by others. Like above, this only lasts for a few days.
* Copy Knowledge: A little rarer than the other two, this involves copying knowledge from another. Analyst's abilities do not count, however knowledge gained by an Analyst's powers do.
* Copy Personality: This isn't usually done on purpose, but some Mimicopy end up doing this when they copy other things from a person. It usually only lasts as long as copying the other stuff does. It only affects the way they act and not the way they think. So, for example, if someone copied an evil person's powers, they would not become evil or hate anyone, they would just say things in an evil way.

**Recipes**: A mimicopy's crafting is based on whatever ability they are copying.

Levels often used to measure the ability. This could vary based on the individual:

* 1. This amount of power is only enough to copy some of the powers from a person, or a whole ability in a much weaker version.
* 2. With this amount of power, a Mimicopy can only copy some of the ability a single person has.
* 3. At this power level a Mimicopy can copy multiple abilities a person has if they have multiple abilities, however the more they try to copy, the less powerful they will be.
* 4. Powers copied are slightly less than the original and only last a day or so, but they can copy all the abilities from one person.
* 5. A Mimicopy of this level can copy powers almost the same level of power as the one they are copying and can copy for as long as a few days at most. The downside is they can only copy one person's abilities at a time. Trying to copy more than one can change the length of time or power levels.

Great Hero/Ledgenday skill level: A skill level so high, only very rare "chosen one" or "great hero" people possess it.

* 6. A Mimicopy of this level can copy someone simply by looking at a photograph of that person. They can copy things for far longer, and better than usual. They can even copy multiple people, though the more people they copy the less powerful the abilities get. A Mimicopy of this level can even temporarily grant Mimicopy abilities to others.

Impossible/Mythical Skill Level: A skill level beyond any possible skill level known. Myths and rumors say things about this individual could exist somewhere, but then, how would you know it was true?

* 7. A Mimicopy of this level is supposedly so powerful, they can even copy powers and abilities from fictional characters! Copied powers work so well, they can sometimes be more powerful than the original! With so much power, they can even give others new abilities!

Notes: The list of power levels and what parts of abilities Mimicopies can copy may vary with individuals. Even some lower power level Mimicopies may be able to copy different powers from different abilities, but at a far weaker version.

A quick note on the power/ability thing. Since the abilities are not stolen some weird things can happen when copying an ability from another person.

* In the case of a Monster Trainer, Another Monster may come. This monster is like when another Monster Trainer awakens. It is for the Mimicopy and will come when the mimicopy has the power of a monster trainer. The monster may be a little different from an ordinary one though and may not act as usual. Afterwards the monster did not leave but the extra abilities afforded to the Mimicopy did not work anymore. In another case, the monster was a mirror, and created almost a puppet version of the copied monster, both disappearing after the ability wore off. This phenomenon has not been studied in detail though. In may vary from individual to individual.
* In the case of an Artifact user the effects seem to vary depending on the Artifact, as if they have an effect on the Mimicopy in question. In one case another object appeared suddenly nearby. In another they could share the same artifact as the Original User (This was allowed by that user.) In a third, the artifact actually split and reformed into two. Afterwards they vanish in a unique way.
