Name: Amplify
Avatar Style: Combat Support
Gender: Female
Appearance: Amplify at first appears to be a fairly human-looking avatar. Her body is that of a slender girl, around the same age as a 16-year old human, and she wears a simple outfit of black pants and a light-gold long-sleeved shirt. Her light-purple hair is bundled up into elaborate braids around her head, and she has piercing gold eyes. However, when threatened, she can transform into her battle form, where her hair bursts from its braids and falls down to the ground, and her clothes transform into black and gold armor all over her body.
User: N/A
Personality: Amplify has an exaggerated personality. That is to say, whichever way she wants to behave, she will behave that way to an extreme. If she decides she's going to be kind to you, you'd better expect her to not even dream of insulting you. Likewise, if she decides to be rude, she'll be the most brash, outspoken, mocking person you'll ever meet. The same holds true for all of her emotions, and even she isn't sure what her 'true' personality is like. Mostly, she tends to make fun of others and act brash; for her, rude is more 'fun', and fun is what she cares about most.
History: Amplify was created in the same experiment that made Integrate. Both of them were formed from programs designed to drastically boost an avatar's abilities, but while Integrate could combine with another avatar to give them the power of two avatars, Amplify instead could boost the power of an avatar's actions.
After deriding her as weak and leaving, Amplify decided that Integrate was a fool to think of only strength. After all, they existed because of an accident of fate. Why not make the most out of their life? If the only reason she was alive was an accident, then she had no purpose, she could just do whatever she wanted. And that's what she set out to do.
By doing this, she actually ended up on the wrong side of the law when a rogue avatar named Noxus conflicted with them. While she didn't really believe in his 'cause' of evolving avatars to their full potential, she decided it would be far more interesting to see where he and his ally Justicar went with this cause. So she joined up with them, and they gave her a complete combat overhaul, with new armor, a weapon, and increased capabilities of her own powers.
Add-Ons:
Form Change: This program alters Amplify's clothing into armor, and unleashes her hair from its braids. This armor is special. (See new Add-On.)
Gather Energy: When her hair is let loose, it begins to draw energy from the surroundings, floating slightly off of the ground. This energy gathers together in the form of small, rainbow-colored orbs. With her new overhaul, four of these are created per post, and she can have up to ten max floating around. Any extras get stored in her Frozen Torrent, for another ten that she can release later.
Rechargeable Armor: This armor is slim and feminine, and covers her entire body. The helmet is sealed, with an angular point at the back. It is colored black and gold like her clothes previously were, and two ports at the back of the helmet allow her hair to pour down her back. This armor reduces damage taken by 25%, and in addition to that has a built-in firewall that prevents viral data from passing through to hit her.
Frozen Torrent: A special weapon modified specifically for Amplify, Frozen Torrent is a naginata with the blade attached to the side of the shaft. The shaft itself is a kinetic pulse cannon, with the shots fired from its tip. Due to its unique design, Frozen Torrent can be used to stab, slice, and still have its shots free to fire. These shots are powerful blasts of kinetic energy, so she can only shoot up to two per posts, but when they hit they explode into a large amount of force, either doing significant damage to things which can't move or knocking away those that can.
Downloaded Programs:
Overcharge: By channeling the orbs through herself once more, Amp can double the amount of orbs she currently has. However, this has a cost; doing this damages Amplify's personal systems, causing internal damage to her code structure. As such, she can only safely do this every so often, depending on how many orbs she doubles. The cooldown for this ability is the same as the number of orbs she channels through herself. (So, 1 orb, uses up the orb to create 2 orbs, 1 post cooldown.) The damage she takes is likewise proportional to the number of orbs that she channels. (Anything 3 or below is negligible, 4-6 is moderate damage, 7-10 is severe damage.)
Boosting Programs: (Note that if the ability does not have the right attribute to be boosted, Amplify cannot boost it. An ability that doesn't last a specific amount of time cannot be affected by Extend.)
Enlarge: Amplify doubles the size and range of an ability in progress. This does not affect any other attributes of the ability. Uses up one orb.
Accelerate: Amplify doubles the speed of an ability in progress. This does not affect any other attributes of the ability. Uses up one orb.
Intensify: Amplify doubles the damage of an ability in progress, or healing if it's a healing ability. This does not affect any other attributes of the ability. Uses up one orb.
Extend: Amplify doubles the duration of an ability in progress. This does not affect any other attributes of the ability. Uses up one orb.
Delayed Boost: The next Boosting Program that Amplify uses instead gets used on an avatar. The program then waits for the avatar to use an ability that can be boosted by it, and is activated then. This uses up an additional orb.
Upgrade Programs: (These programs are constant use, unlike Boosting Programs, and can eat away Amplify's charges rapidly.)
Strength: This program doubles the damage that an avatar does while in effect. Uses two orbs per post. If it cannot be paid for at the start of a post, immediately ends.
Agility: This program doubles the speed of an avatar while in effect. Uses two orbs per post. If it cannot be paid for at the start of a post, immediately ends.
Shield: This program doubles the defense of an avatar while in effect. Uses two orbs per post. If it cannot be paid for at the start of a post, immediately ends.
Overload: This program uses up ten orbs at the very start of activation, and Amplify cannot gain orbs while it is active. For three posts, the avatar gains the effects of Strength, Agility, and Shield. However, once it has ended, the avatar will immediately be left at half strength, speed, and defense for the next five posts.
Personal Programs: (These are programs that Amplify uses on/for her weapon and armor.)
Kinetic Barrage: By consuming an orb, Amplify supercharges the cannon on her Frozen Torrent, allowing her to rapidly fire five shots from her cannon in a burst. She cannot use her cannon for this post or the next after doing this.
Aura Slice: By consuming an orb, Amplify supercharges the blade on her Frozen Torrent, causing it to glow with energy that gives it the ability to cut straight through armor, bypassing damage reduction for the post that she used it.
Active Protection: Activating this program reduces the orbs that Amplify gains per post down to two; however, for as long as this is active projectiles that are standard strength and below cannot bypass the firewall on her armor. Projectiles stronger than that will have their strength reduced by 50% on top of the 25% damage reduction the armor provides. (In other words, regular attacks, like bullets; DPs or Add-Ons that are explicitly more powerful than your standard DeRez blaster are merely halved in damage.)
