Ahamkara vary greatly in appearance, an effect caused both by natural growth and their ability to shapeshift. They are capable of taking on any form they wish, however underneath it all they possess dragon or draconic forms, hence the name "Wish Dragons". They are known to alter their forms in response to the expectations of their viewers; for example, when engaging with someone who perceives them as a monster, they react by assuming a more monstrous form, while those who have no preconceptions may be able to see them as they truly are, and those swept up in the mysticism of their wish-granting capabilities will see benevolent,[IMG2=RIGHT]https://i.imgur.com/oQWjnmb.png[/IMG2] awe-inspiring majestic dragons with radiant plumage. All, and yet paradoxically neither of these are objectively true when they are concerned, as they are driven by the slightest whims, whether their own or those of others. They possess a mystical energy that defies reality which they use to enact and enforce Faustian bargains, promising to fulfill one's desires in exchange for intangible concepts to subsist themselves. This is typically achieved through a verbal contract consisting of the phrase: "O/Oh (subject) mine". An Ahamkara may grant one strength they were never meant to achieve, but that strength could in turn lead to a demise that was never meant for them, and from that change to reality the Ahamkara feed. In other instances they act as "empathavores" subsisting off of one's emotions, whether positive or negative, with stronger emotions being more flavorful.Given their propensity for lies and deception, their unique power, and most of all their reputation as formidable beasts, they were hunted to the brink of extinction centuries ago during the "<a href="https://i.imgur.com/YxBrEep.png">Great Hunt</a>", a dark period wherein the draconic beasts were relentlessly hunted by dozens, if not hundreds of renowned beast slayers, all of whom wished to slay these great beasts of eld. Whether for personal gain, the thrill and challenge of the hunt itself or revenge, it didn't matter. In the end the Ahamkara's own power, Dynamis, was the catalyst for their downfall granting these hunters what they wished for with all their hearts; the Ahamkara's death. This manifested in unstable and unpredictable ways, making the hunt dangerous for both hunter and prey alike. This lead to the near extinction of the species, with the few survivors retreating to the furthest corners of the world, where they hid and slumbered. Since then they have naturally entered the realm of myth, with few accounts of their existence surviving the test of time, and none containing the truth. Many took the bones of Ahamkara slain and fashioned them into trophies, adorning their weapons and armor, wearing them proudly as a symbol of renown that they had managed to slay one of these terrifying beasts. Strangely, after an unknown period of time wearing or wielding these trophies, people began experiencing auditory hallucinations, as if the bones themselves were speaking to them... O' bearer mine.Unique - Dynamis: Meaning a state of that which is not yet fully realized, Dynamis is a unique Chakraless energy that the Ahamkara utilize. As they predate the distribution of Chakra to the world, they don't have access to the common internal energy. Instead what they possess is a raw form of energy which reacts strongly to emotions, especially those of anger, fear and most importantly desire, resulting in varying Offensive, Defensive and Supplementary applications corresponding to a given emotion. When used offensively Dynamis inflicts Psychological, Mental damage as it is an energy that responds to and thus assaults emotions. Physically it takes the form of a prismatic colored flame-like energy which can be released in a number of ways, though most commonly as an offensive breath attack. Dynamis in any state has no strengths or weaknesses. Dynamis will be further detailed, explored and performed through Contract Jutsu.Unique - Epithymía: Literally translated as "Wish" or "Wish-fulfilling Treasure" Epithymía are the source of an Ahamkara's power; their bones. Even after death an Ahamkara's power lingers, and if the dragon's desire to live is strong enough, they live on within their Epithymía itself. These bones were fashioned into arms and armor after the "Great Hunt", a macabre celebration of mankind's power.<a href="https://i.imgur.com/WbsAqq2.png">[IMG2=RIGHT]https://i.imgur.com/cgJarBU.png[/IMG2]</a> As they are still contracted animals, merely in another state of existence, signers of the Contract can summon these relics in combat, each containing both a semblance of the Ahamkara that they once were, as well as a fraction of their power; Dynamis. Epithymía will be further detailed, explored and performed through Contract Ninjutsu.Basic - Morphê: Despite being monolithic beasts in their natural state, Ahamkara have the power to shapeshift, allowing them to alter various aspects of their bodies at will. If an Ahamkara is so inclined, they could change themselves into a butterfly. Despite how convincing this is, they are an Ahamkara in all but form, and taking the appearance of a given thing does not automatically give an Ahamkara the biology or capabilities of that thing. Additionally Morphê has one fatal flaw; reflective surfaces and materials allow anyone to see an Ahamkara's true form, regardless of whatever form they have decided to take. This extends to more advanced senses, such as Sensory abilities, Dōjutsu, etc, allowing logical methods to appropriately perceive Ahamkara. The full extent and capabilities of Shapeshifting will be clarified per each individual Summoning Animal on the contract. Basic - Empatheia: In tandem with Dynamis, Ahamkara developed an extrasensory perception; Empathy, the ability to perceive emotions, and more specifically desires, which they leverage against their prey when establishing contracts. This equates to a passive sensory ability which extends up to 1 adjacent Landmark in all directions and grants them a x3 tracking modifier, and in the case of signers specifically links both parties, allowing emotions to be perceived in a two-way connection.[/QUOTE]
