Essence ofChosen King (FFXV)

With this essence, the Chosen King is reborn, all hail the KING.

• The Crystal is a powerful artifact and a source of unmatched magical power that is also the origin of the power found in the lineage of the Chosen King, the Power of Kings, and the Chosen one can invoke the power of Providence, a power that surpasses that of the Gods (Astrals);

  • The Crystal's power is that of light (holy). This burns any unholy and those unworthy to wield its power to nothing, serves as a memory backup and as entryway into the beyond that normally cannot be accessed physically, magical conduit for spells like the barrier (Wall) around Insomnia, among others, this is the canonical version. Your version of Crystal can do everything the original could and in addition to being able to also work with unholy, absorb all unwanted corruption and purify it, in addition to being able to introduce and/or refine magic in the World with due time and on the scale you want;

  • Unlike canon, the Crystal will in no way affect your life force in a negative way, feel free to use the Crystal to sustain an insurmountable barrier the size of your kingdom for your entire long life;

  • Unlike other kings, your power although connected is not dependent on the Crystal, being truly yours, however, is possible for the Crystal to temporarily strengthen you to unimaginable levels, allowing you to go from just healing superficial wounds to saving a person about to die from spiritual damage;

  • Your Crystal has a will of its own and high intelligence that curiously seems to work for your benefit first and then that of the planet. It may or may not have a physical avatar or not;

  • Unlike canon, your connection with Crystal cannot be interrupted unless it is your will or Crystal’s one (in case this knows something you don't know yet).

• The Power of Kings is an “exclusive” ability of the True King's royal bloodline that allows them to draw power from the Crystal to use their special magic, as the True King, your version is even stronger and you master it to an exemplary degree, but you can become even more;

  • Inventory - It's a Hyperspace arsenal where you can store potentially infinite amounts of items and summon them later. At your level you can certainly store your car here and will be able to do much more in the future. The switching items is instantaneous and it is possible to invoke multiples at the same time;

  • Warping – Basically a special teleport spell, which is usually done by throwing your weapon and warping to reach the weapon (which occurs as fast if not faster than light). Combining this with a throw will cause a warp-strike by exploiting the warping energy to attack harder, the farther the better, and the result is at least dozens of times the strength of the original attack. This also leaves a decoy that will always trick and diverge your enemies;

  • Phasing – It’s a complex subtype of Warping limited by short range, but is only focused on yourself. This allows you to “blink” i.e. short-range rapid teleport to enhance dodge and instantaneous locomotion, phase through solid objects and just like Warp this leaves a decoy to divert enemies and which always appears when the enemy loses sight of you. Although it's still difficult, you can use it with no range limit and even to fly at immense speed;

  • Magic – You can use any spell from the Final Fantasy series directly although you still have to learn them, but you already know all the FFXV spells including Elemancy ones and support ones like barriers and healing. If you go to another world with magic, you will be able to any existing spells in this world easily and quickly;

  • Alchemy – Subtype of magic that allows you to take your spells and add them to magic vials for later use with potential special effects, in addition to being able to transform mundane items like soda and coffee into items like elixir and ether;

  • Elemancy - Royal magic most used outside the "inventory" and although it can be done directly it is usually refined and used through magic flasks, making it available to others in a pseudo manner. This is a magic that uses elemental energy that can be extracted from "elemental veins" found throughout the world, places with high concentration of some element, some enemies or your magic. and together with alchemy can be stored, combined and/or refined in magical frasks to produce the most diverse effects ranging from sleep to poison to instant death and even experience gain. The flasks are only for alchemy and not for magic itself, this means that the flasks are non-consumable and reusable;

  • Enhancement - Perhaps not so obvious, but with that your weapons will always be useful to you and almost impossible to break. It will also improve your physical capacity when you invoke your weapon and use your magic to the point of the peak human blocking and parrying attacks from the Archaean, the one with the greatest physical strength among the Astrals. You are able to use this on your body, even combine it with warping to turn your normal attacks into warp-strike. Your firearms reload themselves, but if you do this manually they will be supercharged to safely operate at higher levels in all traits;

  • Throwing – Not something from the Power of Kings, but it's very useful for using it. Your throw skill is surreal, ensuring perfect throws as long as you see or know where your target is and your throws are faster, both execution and travel, tend to reach the target in 1 or 2 seconds regardless of the distance. You could hit the moon like that and go there with Warping, but remember you can't breathe in space;

  • Telekinesis - Also not part of Power of Kings, initially you can lift yourself and give some airstep, move and control your weapons and other objects up to a ton on the fly, but over time you will be able to move mountains and other people;

  • The Power of Kings allows you to make and revoke contracts with those who pledge allegiance to you, granting them a lesser version of your magic. You can define whether the contract ends in your death or is permanent;

  • Unlike past kings you can provide/add magic power to those who pledge allegiance, this magic power is comparable to notable glaive, those who already have it will have more. You always know when loyalty is genuine and when it isn't;

  • Unlike other kings, your power comes exclusively from yourself and cannot be blocked by absolutely anything other than your will, even omnipotent beings cannot do anything about it.

• The true Power of Kings is represented by the "Armiger", a skill exclusive to the royal family, which allows you to summon and wield spectral versions of all your collected Royal arms and/or main weapons simultaneously from your "inventory" that can protect you and fight independently. It also makes you levitate and allows you to move using warp, in a way imitating flight, as well as boosting all of your abilities to extraordinary levels and allowing you to resist most attacks as if they didn't bother you, making you an unstoppable force. You can also temporarily lend your Royal arms to your retinue, allowing them to wield them momentarily and be able to help you further, enabling potential combos you'd struggle or not be able to pull off alone, and they still get a temporary but remarkable boost. You can invoke this easily;

  • The King of Light can invoke "Armiger Unleashed", a stronger variation of Armiger that needs the 13 Royal Arms plus The Founder King's Sigil. In addition to your attributes increasing even more than normal, this invokes all your royal arms along with access to the martial knowledge of the original owners of those weapons that combined with yours, allows you to expand your own competence, and the Ring of the Lucii and its magic that allows you to use a series of combos and devastating techniques, your own magic is also stronger and easier to use allowing you to spam warp, your every hits become warp-strikes, your levitation is much improved and you can propel yourself in the air a supersonic speeds and probably beyond when you want, you don't need the sigil to use it but with that your power will least triple and invoke this will be easier than normal Armiger;

  • By acquiring ownership of 13 Royal arms, the King of Light can invoke the “True Armiger”, the most powerful and also the most exhaustive version of the Power of Kings, which makes consecutive use difficult, but allows you to face the Astrals and subdue them. You can fire your weapons with extreme force and cadence as if you were a walking machine gun, each of your normal attacks are warp-strikes that carry the power of several of these shots, you also got true flight. Oh King of Light, summon this storm of blades.

• Your Inventory is full of items, which includes all kinds of weapons like spears, shields, bows, daggers, swords, machines like crossbows, firearms and more than enough ammo to kill God a few times. There are some knockoffs of famous Final Fantasy weapons (although they are as strong as the originals) such as a certain Buster Sword, Gaebolg, Blazefire Saber, Masamune, Excalipoor and Excalibur;

  • The inventory also has huge amount of potions, ethers, elixirs, phoenix downs and any other consumable existing in the franchise, and enough money to live an immortal life of luxury, this money automatically changes to more valuable currency accepted, maybe it helps that you have a card that allows you to use that money in all possible (modern) regions;

  • The inventory also has gear for camping from a famous brand called Coleman, such tents, stoves, chairs, cutlery, and mugs;

  • All 13 known Royal arms are present in your inventory, one of your main weapons is considered the 14º one, the Royal arm of the Chosen King, by default it is the “Ultima Blade. The Founder King's Sigil is included;

  • Optionally even the lost Royal arms will be restored and made available in your inventory, totaling 115 weapons including yours and the "forgotten king";

  • Any weapon can be transformed into a Royal arm, which will increase its capacity and lead to it being usable only for members of your lineage, common weapons will require a high investment of magic and time to become a royal arm, unique weapons will have a much faster and cheaper process;

  • You also have very attires, several of them are provided by Crownsguard and Kingsglaive and therefore are quite resistant to tearing, damage and protect against high and low temperatures, but you also have the Magitek Exosuit which can be the most powerful attire in this world, this exosuit can improve its user's physical capabilities to the point that a remarkable warrior can hold on against the kings of Lucis in their prime, in addition to protecting so well that the user is immune to damage even against divine-level beings;

  • You have the Ring of the Lucii, this is the most powerful relic in this world, it channels the power of the Crystal that will increase your magical power and grant you the Ring Magic, which in a way is the True Magic exclusive to kings, this version does not harm a worthy/accepted user and the protections remain the same as the Canon. The spells granted have a long chant and consume a lot of magic power, but are insanely powerful, the spells known are:

  • Death – A spell that drains the target's life force (even the unliving is affected) and then disintegrates it, once completed restores half of the user's strength and physical condition, in the process the spell hurts considerably and slows the target, nothing is immune, but the process tends to take time in beings powerful enough and can be interrupted but can be resumed;

  • Holy – A spell commonly used to counterattack but not limited to that. When used to counterattack, it requires focus and the act of dodging to activate, which releases a burst of holy energy. The more accurate the dodge, the more powerful the spell is, in blink (perfect dodge) is dozens of times stronger than normal. If the target is far away you automatically teleport to the target. Can be used to attack or defend and can reach planetary levels;

  • Alterna – A spell that temporarily breaks open the fabric of reality, creating a Crystalline gate into another dimension that ejects enemies from the battle entirely, in short, it opens something similar to a sphere that sucks and sends enemies into the vacuum, this requires a minimum space to execute, consumes all MP and is effectively a much faster and larger-scale Death;

• Maybe it's the Crystal or something with royal lineage, but your body was naturally altered to its ideal form, in clothes is said to be akin Adonis/Aphrodite in an expensive suit/dress, and you'll age like fine wine, there will be no shortage of suitors;

  • Your body developed very well and reached a superhuman level, possessing enough strength to enter into a sword-fight with a Red Giant (the strongest of common daemons) and win, endurance to do it with just your fists, stamina to do this entire day, speed and agility to make others think you can fly, it when they can see you.

• You are a better engineer and mechanic than Cid and Cindy combined, being able to repair, customize and improve all kinds of mechanical equipment, no matter if it is a weapon, an vehicle, a TV or other machine, with the right tool and parts you can repair and modify them at will;

  • You are also a tailor, blacksmith and programmer of a comparable level. If it's up to you, your items will never be less than decades ahead of the rest, you understand Magitek with the back of your hand;

• You can be the King or maybe "just" the Crowned Prince, but that is worthless without a kingdom. Your kingdom is comparable to Lucis in its prime together with Niflheim technology;

  • As the King of Kings, you are a leader without equal, your charisma and competence are completely unprecedented, forget the greatest kings combined, even without being on the throne your presence is more than, enough to lead your kingdom into a golden age and beyond;

  • The King of Kings leaves nothing to be desired whether in the field of negotiations, as a general or in any other matter that a King may come to do, your abilities lead others to believe that you are a god or even omniscient;

  • Your Kingdom is technologically superior to Niflheim, being closer to Solheim, the ancient civilization that was once able to threaten the gods. The Magitek used throughout the kingdom receives power from the Crystal, technology includes but is not limited to aircraft, magitek infantry (automata), armor (robots), rifles and exosuits among others;

  • A controlled version of the ancient weapon Omega, which is capable of killing even the gods, is present and awaiting your orders;

  • The kingdom's treasury is at the king's disposal even though most of it must be devoted to the kingdom. A small portion of the treasury carries much more than the king's inventory usually carries, both in cash, equipment and key items;

  • The royal family has several vehicles at their disposal, from motorcycles, aircraft, ships, hoverbikes and even mechs, the famous are your automobile the “Audi R8 Star of Lucis”, the Yacht (Royal Vessel) and the Regalia;

  • You have a turbocharged version of Fenrir, Cloud's motorcycle (FFVII). Your version retains the original traits and is now an armored beast that can reach a top speed of 400 mph in seconds, with traction to climb walls and through ceilings, plus autopilot and guns, very powerful guns;

  • Quartz Regalia, a very tough custom convertible that has been updated and is now even tougher; is completely protected from dust, chips and scratches; the top speed is 210 mph; the need for fuel was eradicated and even if not the fuel efficiency and aerodynamic performance would guarantee it could do 1000 miles per liter and the tank capacity was also improved; and the headlights were modified to drive off the unholy; In addition to the fact that it has already been upgraded to Type-D and Type-F;

  • The Type-D turns it into an even tougher off-roader, capable of jumping and optionally exhausting a flammable gas in the process;

  • The Type-F looks the same as normal but allows the car to transform into a flying vehicle capable of reaching supersonic speeds, unlike the original version repulsors have been added to allow the vehicle to start and remain floating in the air and change shape without having to reach certain speeds, plus the repulsors can give an emergency boost that offers almost instantaneous acceleration, just remember that this yet can't bend the laws of physics, yet, after all it is still possible to upgrade it as well as the other vehicles.

• Crownsguard is one of Insomnia's Special Forces as well as a remnant army of the kingdom before it was dissolved and reorganized into a countermeasure-only defense force tasked with protecting the royal family and the Citadel. It returned to the origins and is now a well-trained force of hundreds of thousands;

  • The Crownsguard has some of the best equipment provided by the kingdom, from items like potions to gears and accessories, they even have a exclusive smartphone, the uniforms protect them from bullets, slashes and concussions;

  • All of them can have magitek exosuit for infantry and with some more advanced ones for specialized groups.

• Kingsglaive is the other of Insomnia's Special Forces, it is the group that succeeded the royal guard and are directly under the command of the King, they do not have a true hierarchy so all are considered equal, the closest to a leader outside the king is the commander who is the line with king and who delivers the missions;

  • Although they are a small group, around a few thousand, they are highly trained and with the Power of Kings each of them is a force to be reckoned capable of carrying out the most difficult missions, but their greatest quality is teamwork, it is when they work together that they demonstrate why they are the greatest force in the kingdom;

  • The power provided by Kings is difficult to master, while the Kingsglaive master the essentials, they rarely manage to go beyond that, only a few talented ones manage to store more than 1 different weapon in their inventory or use phasing or use magic directly effectively, luckily in your reign there will be at least 10% are capable of at least 1 of these things and 10 of the strongest can do a lot more or are supernaturally skilled at something useful;

  • While they swear allegiance to the king, this is not always the priority for everyone, many put their friends, family or even the city they live in first, curiously because they fight for their loved ones they end up protecting the Kingdom that is their home with much more vigor;

  • As the greatest force in the kingdom, the Kingsglaive has access and preference to the best items and equipment in the kingdom, the uniforms are more than capable of ensuring survival even after a direct attack from an Iron Giant and are comfortable and stylish to boot. They also have access to more advanced Magitek exosuits.

• Your Retinue are your closest and most loyal servants and effectively are your true best friends, your second family and, if allowed, have followed you to the ends of existence;

  • They all swore allegiance to you and therefore can wield the power of Kings like Glaives, they are considered part of the Crownsguard, and potentially of the Kingsglaive itself, their attires are provided by the same;

  • The Shield of the King, technically your bodyguard, in practice it is an older sibling who will support you in all situations that are not harmful, and is or was your trainer and battle mentor. Probably is the specialist in survival and physically strongest of the Retinue being able to wield two heavy weapons in each hand, and can keep more than one item in inventory. Their greatest strength is their will, as long as they are alive nothing will hit the king, they almost certainly uses the big shield as one of their weapons;

  • The Hand of the King, your royal adviser, someone who knows a lot and is equally wise for their age, perhaps they've been with you for as long as you can remember. They can be your chauffeur and cook, which they do very well, they specialize in the area of magic and have a great mind for tactics and strategy, they quickly analyze and discover weaknesses that can be exploited in any situation;

  • The Heart of the King, perhaps the youngest of the Retinue, probably your age and your best friend, will play pranks at your expense, but will go to unimaginable heights to help you, they have great talent with the weapon they specialize in and technology, their talent may not stop there;

  • The Sword of the King, your herald, is the combat specialist of the retinue and is a master of various arts of combat and warfare, perhaps to superhuman levels. Likely has a military or mercenary background and maybe is your battle mentor alongside your Shield. They may seem cold, but they are very friendly and warm among the Retinue, they have the best locomotion in the retinue specializing in warp and knows phasing. Probably the only one in the retinue that can really keep up with you in combat.

• You won and took the authority and power of Bahamut the Draconian, the most powerful of the Astrals;

  • Your magic power and holy energies are exponentially enhanced to ridiculous degrees, at least greater than the 6 Astrals combined, you have the same physical strength as the Titan concentrated in your body with control to not break anything you don't want to, you can fly like the other Astrals;

  • You can assume an Astral form, where your strength and power grow enormously, in terms of strength it's the same difference between a normal human being and the Archaean;

  • You learned and can use all the powers of any variation of Bahamut in the franchise, including Megaflare and all its variations, the Ultima Sword which summons severals skyscraper-sized swords, and the ability to resurrect the very dead (which can having to do with Beyond);

  • Among Megaflare's variations is Teraflare, Bahamut's most powerful and most draining ability that can wipe out everything on the planet. Your version is much more powerful and can even eliminate a Star if it is your decision, but be careful with the consumption that can exceed half of all your energy.

  • You gain ownership of the Beyond, where your soul shall reside, and must be killed both here and in the physical world to be killed completely;

  • You can summon a "shadow" of Bahamut as powerful as his strongest variation and it's under your full control, feel free to summon him as a simple mount;

  • Over time you can replicate the powers of other Astrals or just go take their powers, now you are much stronger than them.

• Just like Starcourge incarnate you are immortal, unlike him your version is powered by the Crystal and your own power, while it is possible to kill you it will be necessary to surpass you in power, destroy the Crystal and kill him physically, mentally and spiritually all at the same time;

  • You recover almost instantly from any wound, even the Gods cannot leave you dead for more than a few hours.

• You are now the embodiment of the Crystal's power, and therefore possess the power of Providence, which is considered even greater than that of the Astrals;

  • The power of Providence which is the light of the Crystal in its full potential, with it you can banish the "darkness", hurt the immaterial, kill immortals, come and go from the Beyond. Unlike canon you don't have to sacrifice in Throne to use it, just your will will be enough. You are a light so bright that you subdue all darkness and other lights too;

  • As an embodiment of the Crystal your magical and holy energy are unmatched, your power is immense, but you are literally a source of magical and holy power, so your amount of energy may very well be infinite.

• Everyone has a skill or hobby that they dedicate for leisure, the usefulness may vary depending on your lifestyle but you seem to have worked on it to a considerable degree;

  • Optionally, you perfected your cooking skill to a level higher than Ignis (end-game), to the point that you developed a mental cookbook that generates new recipes from the moment you get the necessary ingredients, by tasting a dish you are unfamiliar with, you instantly discover the recipe and what ingredients you need to replicate it, the book also contains all the recipes for dishes you've ever tasted and you can always access that book instantly, your skills as a chef ensure that your recipes are mouth-watering even through photos and taste even better;

  • Optionally, you've perfected your fishing skill to a higher level than Noctis (end-game), meaning you instinctively know if there are fish in the area, which are the best fishing spots, your rods never break, the best baits for a given fish and lines last much longer than they should, catching a fish over 50 inches will be difficult but doable even with a beginner rod;

  • Optionally you have perfected your survival skill to a higher level than Gladiolus (end-game), being able to manage the parties camping gear in record time, your tracking ability allows you to find food and/or animals/beasts before a local hunter does and your scavenging skills allow you to find useful items in the field or from fallen foes with alarming frequency;

  • Optionally, you have perfected your photography skill to a higher level than Prompto (end-game), which will allow you to take amazing pictures in any situation even in the middle of battle when you are not holding the camera, or when meeting an acquaintance you have not SEEN while running past.

  • Optionally, you have perfected another skill to a similar degree.

• You have access to the Ascension Grid, treat it like a game and you gain experience by doing certain acts like defeating enemies, resting in safe places or completing objectives which generate AP, this is your skill tree advancement system that can be accessed with little mental effort and where you use AP; this has several trees called Astralspheres that divide the types of skills like combat, magic, exploration, among others, called nodes, this can elevate otherwise mundane abilities to supernatural and the same growth is possible for the old and new supernatural skills, some nodes allow you to get AP by in other ways, certain nodes can only be gained through training or self-discovery and all nodes can be gained that way. The only limit is your own potential, which may well be infinite;

• The True King can make a Covenant with the Astrals and other gods, and unlike the others the True King not only receives their blessing, but he can make a pact with several of them and can even invoke them to help them. Depending on their goodwill they may come on their own;

  • You already have covenant with the Six Astrals and their messengers Carbuncle and Garuda;

  • You can summon other summons from the Franchise, like Knights of Round;

  • As the True King, you tend to get on good terms with Gods and spirits in general. It helps that your support equals that of billions;

• Optionally you may have reached the possible pinnacle of mastery of your weapon, even with only one arm you can easily defeat talented masters, who will receive the wedge of "immortal" if you allow them to survive. Your soul is so powerful that it can reject conventional death, commands the souls of those who have fallen to your presence and reanimates their bodies to fight by your side. You can even use your magic to recreate one or more glowing "phantom limb(s)" in case you missed one because you were "careless";

  • Optionally this mastery can be applied to several weapons including your body and perhaps some types of magic.

• Something abnormal happened and you are now a C-Type SOLDIER 1st Class... This is something that shouldn't even exist in Eos (FFXV's world);

  • C-Type is very similar to G-Type SOLDIER, with the only difference being that giving the G-type advantages over a normal SOLDIER is provided by Crystal for the C-type, your strength starts out equal to a mighty First Class, but can reach levels beyond Sephiroth with dedication;

  • As a SOLDIER you are able to wield swords of your size and weight with the same ease and agility that your previous self wielded a dagger, in addition to adapting and mastering any weapon in moments, you learn spells quickly and use them without any kind of medium will be your new norm;

  • As a SOLDIER 1st Class your basic abilities have fully entered the supernatural level, you are a master of both weapon and magic, with a weapon, you are a true one-man army, while for some, even among the glaives, facing a group of daemons alone at night can be a nightmare, for you? Facing them by the hundreds or even thousands is a relaxing night, your magic has become so strong that a fireball will now be better compared to a meteor, with advanced control to both light countless candles from a distance to performing multiple high-level spells at the same time, stories will be told about you, but they won't do justice to what you can actually do, you can even levitate and propel yourself through the air at supersonic speeds and probably beyond at will;

  • As a C-Type SOLDIER you have abilities unusual for SOLDIERs and your potential is much greater as well, starting with the ability of true flight, telekinesis, telepathy, shapeshifting, illusion... In short all the abilities that Sephiroth has outside of Meteor and Supernova , in addition to the skills you already have are drastically improved and the fact that you're pretty much in Armiger Unleashed with some details there and here; And if you use True Armiger with it… is better that the enemy has divine level or higher because otherwise there will be nothing left to loot;

• You are an excellent driver with any vehicle that travels by or through land, air, sea or space.

• For a king you have an exceptional affinity with shadows, you could disappear in broad daylight and attack unseen. You must be an exceptional assassin;

• Everything in this essence is optional and can synergize with the other options, the strength of the options can be reduced to any desired level, turned into a potential (possibility), be limited, ignored altogether or even altered (in fluff) as long as it makes sense;

  • For example you can exchange Bahamut's power for another Astral, get only the Regalia instead of the whole kingdom, but to use warping you will need the Power of Kings or another source of magic. Fanwank responsibly.

• Optionally you can listen to all the soundtracks played in the franchise whenever you want, Apocalypse Noctis and One-winged Angel are a start;

• 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;

  • Lunafreya Nox Fleuret;

  • Aranea Highwind;

  • Gladiolus Amicitia;

  • Iris Amicitia;

  • Prompto Argentum;

  • Ignis Scientia;

  • Gentiana;

  • Cindy Aurum;

  • Sarah (Terra World);

  • Y'jhimei.

  • Tifa Lockhart;

  • Rinoa Heartilly;

  • Lulu;

  • Lightning/Claire Farron;

  • Any character from the Final Fantasy franchise.

• Optionally you have a planeswalker-like ability that allows you to travel to other worlds;

• Optionally, you may at any time choose to take a one way trip into the Final Fantasy XV or other in the franchise, or a variation of it. 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.
