Essence of theGraced

You can remake your body once.

You are a Graceling, a person born with a Grace. A Grace is an extreme skill that can potentially reach into superhero levels. You can optionally choose to have the identifying mark of a Graceling; two different colored eyes.

Example of Graces include:

Survival: Your body and mind will instinctively seek to keep you alive, identifying threats at a moments notice even if you don’t fully recognize it such as someone with mind control abilities trying to use you, your mind would fight the control and your body would get you away as fast as it could. This would also make you very lethal as you put your survival over everything else heck you could be mistaken for being gifted with killing your that dangerous.

Perception: Allows the user to feel the presence of things around them, hear the surface thoughts of others if their thoughts are based on the user, identify when they are being lied to and granting a natural defence against mental manipulation. The abilities range tends to be in regards to the immediate location, but if the user is closer to an individual the range that they can feel them is greater based on their connection.

Lying/Persuasion: The ability to make people believe everything you say, no matter how ridiculous or contradictory. Basically allowing you to mind control others with your words, this also effects others; anyone under your ability can spread your lies by telling it to others, effectively putting a long lasting fog in their head with your words floating around, even effecting people eight years after the user had died. The known weakness of the ability is those who have a supernatural perception, their own stronger mind control abilities, or by focusing on someone they love.

Hiding/Disguise: User can change what people “see” when they look at them, this can even fool Perception by making the user “feel” like what they are hiding as.

Mind Reading.

The ability to tell what a person would find most satisfying to eat based on sight and smell.

You can take any of these examples and/or a different canon graces or make up your own. Or multiple.

Optionally, you can be the primogeniture of the Grace, being able to turn others into Graceling, the gift they gain will be based on them and they will develop two different colored eyes.

Optionally, you can be a high ranking member of society such as a noble or even a royal, you will gain a territory befitting your station and the respect that comes with it. As well as gaining the service of multiple Graceling, eight of who will have strong abilities of your choice, you can also design their looks, personality, and feelings towards you.

Optionally, you can choose to be a human monster. All monsters possess unnatural coloring in regards to their hair/feathers/scales/fur, a supernatural beauty, the ability to effect a beings mind, and can breed with the species they resemble with the resulting offspring always being a monster (you can toggle this for yourself). While all monsters have mental abilities only human monsters can truly use it being able to read, manipulate, scan, and identify minds. Their supernatural attractiveness can turn those with weak minds to pudding in their hands, not even requiring the use of their powers, this effect is more effective if they can perceive a monsters hair. The psychic powers of a monster allow them to feel the minds of others with some minds being like oiled eels slippery and hard to grasp and control, while others could be like clay easily shaped and manipulated, and then a more rare occurrence are those with walls unable to be played with only ever feeling that barrier unless that person allows the monster in. If you couldn’t tell a monsters most dangerous ability is their gift to manipulate minds and while normally practice would be needed to strengthen and perfect this skill, you seem to be a prodigy being able to sense thousands of minds at once and identify each individual (as long as you’ve met them before), create mental illusions so real that a more experienced psychic would believe it and could even be lead to their death with the right illusion, read the thoughts of others and manipulate their minds, if you also relied on your supernatural beauty you would prove a very dangerous enemy and a very good ally. You also possess you own strong mental barriers and can teach others to develop their own mental barriers as well, you’re also strong enough to wrestle control from other mind influencing sources (ie: other monsters, mind controllers, etc.).

Optionally, you are now the proud owner of a standard monster; an animal of any kind that has fur/hair/scales/feathers of unnatural color(s) such as a horse with silver coat dappled with spots of orange and magenta. All monsters are supernaturally beautiful, carnivores who prefer the meat of other monsters (especially human monsters) and possess psychic abilities but don’t have a firm enough grasp to use their gift for anything other than mesmerizing their prey for easy meals. Your beasty is completely loyal to you and will never attempt to harm you or those close to you.

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 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.

Any other character from the Graceling series.

Optionally, you may at any time choose to take a one way trip into the world of Graceling, or a variation of it. This can be any alternate universe, like a fanfic or one made perfectly for yourself. You can either simply be dropped in or reincarnated into the body of an existing character or someone new.
