Essence ofAncient Dragon (Seiken Tsukai)

This essence has a familiar taste that makes you… REMEMBER your past lives.

• [Ancient Dragon] or [The Eldest Heroic Spirit] is the name given to the soul that was able to withstand not just one, but two cycles of reincarnation without becoming corrupted, remaining perfectly pristine. It is theorized that a cycle of reincarnation takes at least hundreds of thousands of years, the soul capable of handling two reincarnations in its third would require an indestructible will capable of withstanding a hundred million years and its human container of that soul would be considered the Heavenly Emperor who has ruled over all fantasies and a monster known as a "Dragon", hence the term [The Eldest Heroic Spirit] and [Ancient Dragon];

  • You are a [Savior], a being whose soul managed to withstand the cycle of reincarnation and preserve the past life's memories and power, but you have at least two past lives, an [Ancient Dragon].

• [Saviors] are almost uniformly figures worthy of legend, it's not uncommon for them to be different, more beautiful/handsome, more imposing, more intimidating than the average person;

  • You can remake your entire appearance, and are guaranteed to be a perfect eleven to people whose type you are not and a deity to whom you are type, the only limit being that you must still be human or equivalent;

  • The willpower of an ordinary [Savior] is already something truly heroic, resisting everything for millennia, even with only the memories of living in the modern world it is almost impossible to change what they believe while remaining unwilling. As an [Ancient Dragon] your willpower is virtually, and probably in fact is indestructible, don't expect any kind of intrusion or mental alteration without your consent;

  • [The Eldest Heroic Spirit] is an existence above common knowledge capable of freely controlling Prana and Mana, conventional rules, even supernatural ones, do not apply to you;

  • Optionally your body has adapted well to the power of your soul and has acquired a natural superhuman level with the potential for more, while it still cannot compare to a skilled White Iron, lifting the largest of SUVs over your head and overrun cars on the freeway is within reach your capabilities.

• The powers of [Saviors] is called “Ancestral Arts” and is usually divided into "Light Art" and "Dark Art" which classify whether the [Savior] is a White Iron/Shirogane and Black Mage/Kuroma, with exceptionally rare exceptions such as the Head of the American Branch “Arlene Highbury”, whose power is to create magic items such as "ID Tag" and the combat uniforms, both are used by most if not all [Saviors]; and the Head of the Japanese Branch “Andou Suruga” whose power looks be perfect contra Metaphysicals;

  • White Irons are the warrior archetype who uses “Prana” (life force) to enhance their physical abilities, including with their senses and recovery capacity, to perform superhuman feats. The color of prana varies from person to person and you can choose yours once, moreover, you can tell someone's personality based on prana;

  • Black Mage is the mage archetype who manipulates “Mana”, their mind force, which is formed by absorbing the natural powers found in their surroundings and refined in their bodies. Unlike prana, the mana of all Black Mage is black;

  • As an [Ancient Dragon] you can be two types in any order, even two of the same type (White Iron with White Iron but it won't be very smart as you can still learn);

  • Optionally you can have three past lives, but from this point almost no one who knows your power will consider you human, something like the vassal, the body capable of containing that power can no longer be considered human (even with only two, this can happen);

  • Optionally, you may have already remembered all of your past lives;

  • Your past lives compare to Kensei Fraga and Shu Saura, respectively the strongest swordsman and strongest mage;

  • This means that as a Shirogane you are an absolute master of your weapon or martial art, being effectively a one man army and probably have some unfair advantage, Black Mage your knowledge allows you to recognize most spells almost instantly and your power makes you basically a natural disaster that can cause changes to entire maps;

  • Optionally, your past lives could have been Kensei Fraga and/or Shu Saura.

• Optionally, you may have really mastered the basics of your style, allowing you to operate at levels above your class and even combine different types of powers. You can also quickly replicate this feat with any style you learn;

• Optionally you have unfair advantage, you can have boundless/infinite prana like Fraga/Moroha, your mana is a special type 1.5 times greater than ordinary mana like Shu Saura/Moroha and Vasilisa Yuyevna Mstovaya in addition to your ability to extract it from the world as if you were a black hole, or something original related to your skills;

• Optionally you've refined your control over Prana/Mana to the utmost limit allowing you to utilize your abilities at maximum capacity with a fraction of the energy, focus your prana into a single point drastically increasing your power, or reduce the power of your magic to use it for more mundane without any risk and even the art of casting several spells at the same time can be performed;

• Optionally you may have broken the rule that it is necessary to concentrate to perform Prana techniques or chant to use magic, in other words, you can use your techniques almost instantly and your magic without warning;

• Optionally you were some noble, general, prince/ss or even king/queen, knowing everything you need to know about etiquette, negotiations, public relations, strategies of any kind. You can quickly adapt to changes related to these matters whether it's natural changes or moving to a different world;

• Optionally, you are the head of a worldwide organization similar to the Order of the White Knights in connections, influence and funds only better, but the focus is on your goals, management and recruitment is almost automatic, although it can be better with your management. It also makes you filthy rich, the kind with solid gold houses;

  • This can include the presence of metaphysicals in the world, despite the dangers this will certainly increase your fame and influence around the world.

  • This includes a stadium-sized arena with "Field of Dreams", this resides on a separate plane designed to withstand the most destructive powers, which allows [Saviors] to go all out and upon retreating from the arena all wounds are healed. , same goes for death, but avoid getting to that point because it's not a pleasant experience as the field doesn't protect the mind as well as the body.

• [Ancient Dragon] has unfounded potential, your growth potential is essentially infinite, you can learn anything at paces that would make geniuses look like children trying to learn quantum physics, the pace of learning for skills and concepts related to your past lives make your former pace seem like the child;

  • The closer to the demon/avatar of destruction/dragon you are the more of its potential you can draw out;

  • Even if you cross the line of what is considered human, you can go back to being human, after all, even humans can be monsters;

• Optionally you can assume the form of a metaphysical dragon, where you are basically the avatar of destruction, being made purely of prana/mana your powers are at an entirely higher level than normal, the World Break is just a matter of time.

• You get a closet with your "basic kit" [Savior], that is "ID Tags" and "Combat Uniform", there are at least 10 of the former and 5 of the latter (you don't need all of these).

  • “ID Tag” is an item that looks like a metallic tag, which serves both as an identity for [Saviors] and is able reproduce the weapons or items used by them in the past life through the use of the [Savior]'s memories, thoughts and powers as a medium, how well an item is reproduced depends primarily on the individual's imagination as it is difficult to reproduce a solid past life memory, “item-type Origins” can be reproduced by this. In case of loss, damage and/or breakage you can always find an extra one in your pocket after a few minutes;

  • "Combat Uniform" perhaps the most useful item of a [Savior], it can change shape according to the prana/mana of the individual using it, enhances the ability of ancient arts, offers general resistance to extreme temperatures and can become as strong as the user energy, usually while exploring its capabilities you will be knocked down before this item is destroyed, self-healing and self-cleaning and you can always find a spare in your closet after an hour or less in case it's an emergency;

  • “Origin” also known as Unique Treasure, are the trump cards of those who own it, can be artifacts or equipment (item-type Origins like Saratiga and Leprazan) or secret techniques and forbidden spells (ability-type Origins like Cocytus and Ouroboros), they are unique, almost impossible to be replicated and can easily turn the battle or generate true disasters, item type Origins seem to be weaker because they are past life items and need to be replicated through the "ID Tag" which usually generates a rip-off.

• You have a planeswalker-like ability that allows you to travel to other worlds through portals or through reincarnation;

  • If these worlds have some kind of special energy, you will also be able to use it without problems, regardless of what limitations there are;

  • In case the energy is similar to what you already have besides already starting at the top or extremely high level, these energies will be treated as equal and any benefit you already have will be maintained but they will be different in case it is the other way around, the Prana is equivalent or the same thing that internal energy and Mana is the same for external energy. If the energy is of internal and external origin (like Fate “Prana”) but you only have one of the types, you are halfway there (you just need to focus on the other one to grow in skill quickly).

  • In worlds that use the concepts of reincarnation, soul, heroic spirit or "older is better" you can consider yourself at the top in these concepts, for example, in Fate (Type-Moon) you will be far superior to Gilgamesh, if not in power, it will certainly be in “mystery”; in Xianxia your soul will enable you to cultivate much higher than usual, something closer to mystical beasts (you are even higher than that) than humans;

• You can have one or more soulmates that reincarnated with you, of course they still love you, their love was so strong that it withstood death and time, and it was one of the reasons why they withstood the cycle, maybe they are the way you think your soulmate is or maybe not but your heart belongs to them as much as theirs belongs to you;

• You can have the curse of the harem protagonist, able to seduce and attract your preferred gender by just being yourself, honestly you can do anything and still “the plot” will make it happen, even the other genders may not escape;

• Optionally you have the charisma of a hero king, rallying allies of all backgrounds alike, bizarrely includes the ability to lead and command them in any area with competence equivalent to the greatest kings and generals combined, and arrogance will now be dealt with like self confidence;

• Optionally you know all the “Ancestral Arts” known to Shirogane and Kuromas and their potential combinations;

• In case it's not obvious, everything in this essence is optional and can synergize with the other options;

• Optionally, you may choose to receive any of the following people as your companions. You can pick as many as you want. The relationship between you and them is whatever you want it to be, and you can even choose exactly how romantically and sexually experienced they are. This can be different for each of the characters but they will all be irrevocably loyal to you;

This can be any alternate universe, like a fanfic or a universe made perfectly for you. You can either simply be dropped in or reincarnated into the body of an existing character or someone new.
