Essence of theYorae Dragon

By consuming this shining white Essence, you are granted several boons:

• You are returned to the prime of your life if you are over the age of 25, and continue aging until that point if you are not. You also will no longer experience the fog of ages and will have the ability to perfectly recall all of your memories.

• You also gain the ability to take on both a full-sized Dragon Form of your own design that can be classified as a nearly invincible engine of destruction, and a smaller Scale Mail form based off of your full-sized form that is no less formidable.

• You also gain access to the following innate abilities:

• Absorption: Use one Child Gene to change your innate element.

• Meditation: Use one Dragon Gene to assume the form of a Dragon, or strengthen your pre-existing Dragon Form.

• Stillness: Combine one Adult Gene or Child Gene with another Child Gene to transform into an adult Dragon, or strengthen your pre-existing Dragon Form with advanced capabilities.

• Ascension: Combine one Adult Gene or Child Gene with two Child Genes to transform into an adult Dragon with maximized capabilities, or strengthen your pre-existing Dragon Form with maximized capabilities.

• Rakshasa: The invincible warrior told of in draconic legend. When you are defeated in your human form, you are able to transform into one of your Dragon Forms and continue fighting, cycling through forms as each one is slain, until you finally run out, at which point your life is (theoretically) forfeit. Likewise, the reverse also applies, with you being able to continue fighting in your Human Form if one or more of your Dragon Forms are slain. With practice, you may be able to apply this ability to other, non-Dragonic Forms that you possess as well.

• Divinity: Use the Endless Gene to ascend to godhood temporarily.

• You can also choose from two of the following Genes (one Child Gene and one Adult Gene) to start with, with the rest being scattered along whatever world you choose to go to, with additional rules being that a single Esoteric Gene can be used in a form in addition to an Adult Gene and a Child Gene or two Child Genes, and with Divine Genes being able to be used with no restrictions.

• Symphony: Become a Sound Dragon Form that emphasizes healing and harmony. When combined with other Elemental Genes, the ability to inject an element into an enemy with this form’s needle-like tail is gained, which can inflict the status effects [Melt], [Freeze], [Paralyze] and [Harden].

Regardless, they are guaranteed to never betray you, and with any female companions holding a great interest in you, whether it be platonically, romantically or sexually, with the end result being your choice, although if you do find yourself sexually entangled with your previous incarnation’s female companions, you’ll also find that they’re perfectly willing to share you in a love that will never fade. You can pick as many as you please and share any of your Essence-Based powers with them.
