灾害之兽
(为了避免不由自主地把人类恶翻译成凡俗恶凡人恶之类奇怪的东西,这里就鸽了 :em023,总之跟型月的原设没什么差)
The Evils of Mortalkind are, as the name implies, the Stigmata of Mortals -- the seven Calamities positioned to enact the annihilation of Mortality that threatens the continuity of the history of the World. Being entities that obtain standing within the World of the Primates by way of factors that grow forth from mortal society, the Evils of Mortalkind are existences that accumulate strength in proportion to the advancement of civilization, and are in essence a cancer that consumes mortalkind. Empowered by civilization itself, they are beings that consume civilization, that embody the destruction of the works of mortals.
Not archfiend or empyreal lords or other mythic beings ascended through the adoration and beliefs of mortals of all eras, the Beasts are original beings that came to accumulate spiritual stature as elder powers; which by the causality of karma come to act as a system for the apoptosis of mortality. That is to say, the exceptional nature or capabilities that demigods and mythic beings exhibit over conventional forms of life are justified upon the same mechanisms that lend the Evils of Mortalkind their capacity for threat.
Though the Beasts can be said to preside over the Seven Sins of Mortals, the sins that they represent are not the seven deadly sins embodied by so many species of demons. Rather, these "sins" come of the attributes that mortals embody simply by existing; those things that cannot be set aside so long as mortals continue to subsist as sapient creatures. Being existences that encompass all of mortals, the Evils cannot be overcome by any one mortal, or anything beholden to the laws of the Material Plane; just as mortalkind is incapable of abandoning sapience, so the Evils are inevitable fixtures of the mortal condition.
However, by the word of sages and oracles, the Evils of Mortalkind are the Calamities over which mortals are destined to prevail. The Evils of Mortalkind are by intrinsic nature the Love of Mortalkind as, unlike malicious intent directed toward mortals, a true desire to preserve the Rationality of Mortalkind is inexhaustible. Justified in the pursuit of a more favorable future, fangs are brought to bear against the peace of the present, but any such endeavor inevitably brings forth a stagnation within the History of the World.
Some of the Beasts are split into two halves, each possessing paired "antithesis" concepts. They are "Left and Right", "black and white, and "yin and yang," each unable to coexist with the other. These halves are called L and R. If one half is to manifest, the other will manifest in due time. Though both born from the same sin, they are both completely opposed. They are not two halves to be joined, but two enemies that are diametrically opposed.
灾害之兽特性:
灾害之兽是七个旨在带来末日的生物。每个兽都是挑战等级30的异界生物,并且都具有邪恶,跨位面和灾害之兽亚种。兽也能够显现出自身较为弱小的版本,或是L和R的两半,又或者其他种类。这些都会是挑战等级21到29的生物,并和更强的版本共同具有一些能力。所有的兽都有能力产生某种后裔,每种兽的后裔的特性都是独一无二的,单他们都具有邪恶和灾害之兽亚种。所有的兽都具有以下特性:
- 兽之权能(Ex) 兽作为凡人试炼的本质给予它们超越任何生者的权能。所有兽造成的攻击都视为具有破敌(类人生物)能力。此能力也与较弱版本的兽及衍体等共有。
- 单独显现(Ex) 兽存在于通常的时空轴之外。它们免疫所有位面传送或者时间操控效果。如果它们被杀死,除非另有说明,否则身体会立刻分解,并且一轮后以每种兽独有的某种特殊形式重新出现。此能力对于每种兽都有独一无二的否决条件,此时才可以通过常规方式击败兽,这些条件每个兽有具体的详细描述。此能力并不与较弱版本的兽或衍体等共有。
- 自我改造(Ex) 兽对自身的躯体有着完全的控制。每个回合开始时,兽可以移除正影响它的任何一种不利效果,并且免疫变形效果(包括所有子学派)的影响,除非兽自愿受到这些影响。此能力对于每种兽也都有独特的效果。此能力与较弱版本的兽及衍体等共有,但独特的部分并不共有。
- 免疫属性伤害,属性吸取,魅惑,胁迫,即死效果,疾病,能量吸取,石化和毒素这些效果的影响。
- 再生(Regeneration,Ex) 只有神话伤害,或者来自同级或更高实力的生物(诸如大魔鬼,神祇,天界领主,旧日支配者,或者古魔领主)的伤害才能干扰兽的再生。
- 拥有30点强酸,火焰,电击,寒冷和音波抗力。
- 兽的天生武器,以及所持有的任何武器,在穿透伤害减免时都视为传奇邪恶武器。
- 气势凶猛(Frightful Presence,Su) 兽能够作为任何攻击、类法术能力、特殊攻击的一部分,以自由动作启动气势凶猛,或者通过大吼启动。
