Here, you can sign up your character to have them become a Brush God temporarily, and to have the power permanently!
In terms of how effective your character is at using the power after the battle, they will be able to use it somewhat decently, but they have a very limited access to "divine ink", which is how to draw the stroke necessary to create a divine effect. It will never really be as powerful as Amaterasu, obviously, but it's still something that can be used in or outside of battle. (Its less reliable usage would make it more ideal for outside of battle, however.) The powers will be strongest during the event, and will become significantly weaker afterwards, but they can be trained up with time as they are in Vatheon.
Here is a list of the Brush Techniques:
Power Slash: Draw a straight line. A slash is made along that line, slicing whatever was drawn on in half (trees, boulders, straw dummies, you name it). Does not cut people in half but does deal some blunt damage.
Cherry Bomb: Draw a circle with a dash through the top. A fireworks-like bomb appears, and explodes with surprising force. Can be used to bust open walls, or to get a person's ears ringing and their clothes a little sooty.
Inferno: Draw a lemniscate, or draw a line between an open source of flame and your target. With the former, a ball of fire erupts and scalds everything but yourself (once a day). With the latter, the fire moves along the path you have drawn (at any time).
Thunder Storm: Draw a thunder bolt, or draw a line between an open source of electricity and your target. With the former, lightning rains down on the field and strikes everything within the immediate vicinity (once a day). With the latter, the lightning moves along the path you have drawn (at any time).
Blizzard: Draw a snowflake (draw an X and then a third line down the middle), or draw a line between an open source of ice and your target. With the former, shards of ice form and slice down on the target (once a day). With the latter, the ice moves along the path you have drawn (at any time).
Greensprout: Has several different techniques - inactive, causes flowers to bloom when running at full speed.
Bloom: Draw a circle around a bud or closed shell, draw a circle around a dead tree, or fill in a patch on the ground where there is dead grass. The bud/shell will open, the tree will bloom, and flowers will grow, respectively. Drawing dots on the ground summons trees.
Water Lily: Draw a circle on the water. A lily pad will appear that can support the weight of the user.
Vine: Draw a line between a Konohana Bud and yourself. You will be snagged and pulled onto the flower or into the tree by a vine.
Waterspout: Draw two lines going downwards, or draw a line between an open source of water and your target. With the former, divine rain cascades in a deluge, slowing any unholy force (once a day). With the latter, the water moves along the path you have drawn (at any time).
Galestorm: Draw three horizontal lines, or draw a swirly line. With the former, a tornado-like wind surrounds you and slices everything that gets too close with debris (once a day). With the latter, a gust of wind blows in the direction you drew the swirl (at any time).
Veil of Mist: Draw two horizontal lines. Time seems to slow, as everything around you is "intoxicated" by the pleasant mist. Only once a day no matter what, rate of failure.
Rejuvenation: Fill in a broken or blank spot. The object will be replaced or repaired.
Crescent: Draw a moon in the sky. In Vatheon, it will cause the moon to shine through the water a little bit brighter for a few minutes, if it's already out.
Catwalk: Draw a line up a wall. The wall becomes sticky and easy to climb.
In the event that we don't get a full sign-up of 12+ candidates, this is how we're going to distribute powers:
Battle Techniques: Power Slash, Cherry Bomb, Inferno, Thunder Storm, Blizzard
Balanced (battle & outside use) Techniques: Greensprout, Waterspout, Galestorm, Veil of Mist
Outside Use Techniques: Rejuvenation, Crescent, Catwalk
Ideally, of course, we will get plenty of people wanting to sign up. There will be plenty of sub-threads and assumptions in terms of who does what role, so there is little need to worry about slowing down any event threads. Still, do try to make an appearance!
Brush techniques and candidates are selected somewhat randomly - in the sign-up, you can make an appeal as to why your character would make an interesting Brush God! Comments are screened, and confirmation of which brush gods are which characters will be waiting until the 8th.
