Essence of theIdol

By drinking this musical note-shaped Essence tasting of sound, you gain the incredible powers of being an Idol!

• Your appearance, whatever it was, is now MASSIVELY improved. To the point that it wouldn't be crazy to say you're the most attractive person on earth, and beyond. Even gods would turn their heads. Additionally when you're caught on recording, the recording will inexplicably capture your best side, and record you in ways that make you look incredibly good, as if you posed for it.

• Luckily, you gain the ability to disguise yourself and lower your appearance to simply 'incredibly hot', with even the slightest effort. You can 'Clark Kent' yourself just by parting your hair on the other side, wearing a hat, or putting on a pair of non-corrective glasses. People won't be able to connect you to the super-hot mega-popular idol unless you actively tell them, or 'dramatically reveal yourself' to them by ripping off your glasses and swishing your hair back as if you're Aizen. While disguised, you can choose to give off a sort of 'someone else's problem' field and go overlooked, and even extend this to specific people around you, or let certain people around you see through it as you desire. So long as you're wearing even a paper-thin disguise, you can keep hidden from the soon-to-be adoring public. You can also, if you want, 'invert' that effect to instead draw everyone's eyes, attention, and focus, whether they like it or not, when you're not in disguise. Good for keeping a crowd's attention hooked on you no matter what.

• Of course, this Essence also gives you an incredible capacity for the standard abilities of idols everywhere. You have an absurd charisma, and instinctively understand social cues to a far greater degree. Your voice isn't downright angelic, if only because comparing it to angels would be insulting your voice. You move with an incredible grace and fluidity even without trying to.

• You have a sixth sense for navigating social circles and social cues in general. You intuitively understand how to communicate best with others, and have an enhanced sense of how to manipulate others through words. You also have an incredible talent for acting, and otherwise playing a role. You have an incredible poker face, and can make pretend with the best of them.

• You are naturally gifted at all forms of musical arts, though the only one you're initially skilled in is singing. But the moment you get your hands on an instrument, you will rapidly, extremely rapidly start gaining not only proficiency, but mastery. With a single week of dedicated training, you could make masters who dedicated their lives to that single instrument either weep in joy or smash their instruments out of envy. This does improve the effect of anything that involves music or your voice, such as Dragon Shouts or Bardic Magic. So long as it involves music, you will find it far easier to learn and improve in it.

• Additionally, you have an incredible memory when it comes to music. You can intuitively figure out how to play any song you've ever heard, and have an easy time modifying them. You can recall any tune you've heard with perfect clarity.

• You have an incredible sense of proprioception, and are naturally talented at controlling your body. As a result of this, you can pick up any dance you encounter just by seeing it, and have an incredible sense for creating and engaging in dance yourself. From ballroom dancing to the club, to outright stripping you are incredible at it and make it look effortless to all who see it. This incredible talent for body control also extends to martial arts and other things that involve heavy focus on mastery of the body. If you put your mind to it, you could be an incredible force on the actual battlefield and not just the social one.

• In addition to beauty, singing, and dancing, this Essence also gives you the ability to pull upon 'The Rule of Cool'. This allows you to bend physics in favor of being stylish and doing cool, if impractical, shit. In fact, doing things the 'cool' way will outright be more effective and likely to succeed than if you did it normally. Nonchalantly tossing a knife behind you would be far more effective than just throwing a knife at someone, Flourishes and such in fights will inexplicably not be capitalized on by your enemy, or will even just happen to block an unseen attack, doing a superhero landing will make your enemies stop for a second in intimidation or reassure civilians. There is no upper limit to this effect, and it applies to absolutely everything you do. You also have an incredible sense for what would be 'cool', and a now instinctual tendency to do things that way, if you follow your gut your life will seem to go that much smoother as you coolly progress in whatever you're attempting to pull off.

• Additionally, no matter what you do, you will subconsciously act in a way that comes off as incredibly stylish doing it. Even just eating lunch will have onlookers stunned by your effortless grace. Stretching in your seat will have people around you furiously blushing after catching sight of you. And when you really try, things you do will be incredibly flashy, and awesome to behold.

• Anything you do to gain reputation will be amplified, and anything you give someone will have far more impact. You can dial this up/down as you wish, but only down to a regular level, and initially reputation only up to ten times higher. When giving people things, you can control how the recipient and onlookers perceive the gift, allowing you to make it so that onlookers are amazed at the rock you just gave someone while the recipient is confused, or bringing the recipient of an autograph to tears of overwhelming joy at the heartfelt gift while onlookers think they're weird and overreacting. Nobody will find any of these particularly odd, unless you personally point out the discrepancy.

• The more you interact with people, the more they will come to like you over time. This effect can be turned off for specific individuals, but is on by default. Over time, this like can evolve into worshipping the ground you walk on. This will also mitigate the perception of 'bad' things you do in their eyes, though it may take time for them to mentally work their mind around to making excuses for how it's okay if you did it.
