Hello folks, Pennini/Tania here! I wanted to put up a discussion thread about about what people thought my new character should actually be able to get away with as far as abilities go. As some of you may know, I have taken heavy inspiration for Pennini from Baba. That's why I was looking into giving her some magical abilities that a lot of characters wouldn't necessarily be allowed given how meta-gamey they can potentially be. That's why it's best to figure out where the line should actually be drawn before I really start getting into playing as her.
Here were some of the ideas I have for her:
Helping Players with Personal Plots
Watch a Brief Scene Happening Elsewhere(Present or Past)
Peer Into the Afterlife
As I said, these are just ideas and I completely understand if people think they would be too much. Feel free to offer your own suggestions here as well.
Edit: I forgot to mention that my current long term goal for Pennini is to save up enough Zeni for a palace, which would grant her a Special. If any ideas come across as something that I should eventually use to take up said Special slot, that would also be worth hearing.
Update: Revised Ability Wishlist!
Helping Players with Personal Plots
Peer Into the Afterlife
Visitation
Also, if staff deem that none of these abilities would require the use of a Special technique slot, then I would like to use this as a possible future technique. Pennini wouldn't have access to it until she bought a Palace.
Planar Shift(Special)
Here were some of the ideas I have for her:
Helping Players with Personal Plots
- This one should be harmless enough. Basically, I would talk OOC with whoever plays a character who would like to use Pennini to further their characters' personal plot. She would use magic to show them some type of image or series of images in her cauldron/crystal ball and they would interpret said image as they saw fit. This is only to be used with the express permission of the other player.
Watch a Brief Scene Happening Elsewhere(Present or Past)
- This is basically just like how Baba used her crystal ball to show the battle between the Z Fighters and the Saiyans in the Saiyan Saga. However, the scene would be brief and with no sound, so not all of the details are likely to be caught. Could possibly be used to see into the past as well, maybe? Or even other planets?
Peer Into the Afterlife
- This one might be a bit of a stretch. It would essentially be like the last suggestion, but would allow Pennini to peer into the Other World.

Peer Into the Afterlife
- Pennini could use her cauldron/crystal ball to look into the afterlife.
Visitation
- At another character's request, Pennini would be able to project someone in the afterlife back into the world of the living for a single thread inside of her home(assuming the dead character agrees). They wouldn't be able to leave the ritual site and they would essentially have a PL of 0 for this thread. In my mind it would be like a VERY watered down version of the day pass and would be used primarily for relaying information or reunions among friends. The plus side for the dead character is that they wouldn't need to spend any shoki on a day pass or have a body to participate. Though, if they have yet to buy themselves a body, the dead person would have to be okay being seen as a fluffy white puff ball.
Also, if staff deem that none of these abilities would require the use of a Special technique slot, then I would like to use this as a possible future technique. Pennini wouldn't have access to it until she bought a Palace.
Planar Shift(Special)
- Pennini can travel between the world of the living and Other World using space travel mechanics(travel time would be time spent preparing herself). She can only travel back and forth by herself.
