Musou is the energy in one's body that allows them to perform almost supernatural, or mystical feats. Were one able to properly harness it, they could bend the very flames of war to their will, or gain control of the elements themselves. However, very few warriors seem to be capable of utilizing it, as most seem to lack knowledge of how to tap into it.
To obtain a Musou, characters must do all of the following:
- Reach the rank of Samurai (150 posts)
- PM a staff member with the Musou you would like
- Pass a GM-run trial, assigned by one of the Seven Lucky Gods
The type of Musou you would like determines which of the Seven Lucky Gods comes to you, which in turn determines what sort of trial you will have to face. Complete the trial, and the Musou is yours. Fail, and you must attempt a different trial.
The strength of your Musou, and how long you can maintain it, is based solely on your Spirit stat. The higher the Spirit, the stronger the Musou. Also, higher Spirit means better defense against someone else's Musou! Certain items can be obtained to boost your Musou strength and defense as well. The items are not purchasable.
"But wait, what can my Musou do?!" Well, I was just getting there!
What Your Musou CAN Do:
- Elemental Control: Earth, Wind, Fire, etc. All of these can be manipulated by Qi! Of course, you'll have to pick one.
- Harnessing Light and Darkness: Even these can be controlled! One or the other!
- Enhanced Senses: Your character can up their senses drastically! This even includes seeing through walls!
- BE CREATIVE: There's almost no limit to the possibilities!
What Your Musou CAN'T Do:
- Stat Boosts: For the sake of fairness, there will be no stat gains through Qi. But hey, don't fret - there are PLENTY of things you CAN do!
Exceptions: All Daimyo and Shogun are expected to have a Musou ability. They are staff run, and as such, it is to be assumed that any you meet can and will have a Musou.
