[Re:Zero] Puck Revision + Spirit Physiology

[Zabazab]

Another character revision, and a bonus of some edits to Spirit Physiology.

Puck

Puck's Current Page

Puck Sandbox

Spoiler: Abilities

Adding/Editing:

• Non-Physical Interaction (Elemental, Mind, & Soul; He killed a portion of the fellow Great Spirit Melakuera by freezing and crushing his Od, and killed another portion by using his claws to rip apart his mana-body and Od, with the Od being synonymous with the owner's soul. Affecting the soul also affects the mind, as the mental has been equated to the spiritual)
• Transformation (Puck's trump card is his Star Beastification, a form in which he is far more powerful)
  • Large Size (Type 1; In his Star Beast form, Puck is more than 20 meters long)
  • Greater Life-Energy Absorption (To maintain his Star Beast form, Puck forcibly absorbs ambient mana from the world, bringing it towards the end as everything freezes at absolute zero in an expanding radius)
• Durability Negation (Puck can freeze a person's insides, destroying them from the inside-out. He somehow slipped an Ice Flower inside a man's chest, which would grow as he directed negative emotions towards Puck and Emilia, eventually bursting out of him)
• Weather Manipulation (He can cause snowstorms)
• Energy Projection (He can fire a blast of destructive energy that freezes everything at his opponent)
• Purification (Type 2; Puck can detect and dispel curses before they activate)
• Power Nullification (With a clap, he dispelled Emilia's magical Ice Flowers)
• Weapon Creation (Puck can form white light in the shape of a sword, which freezes everything in the light's path)

Spoiler: Stats

Attack Potency: Unknown physically, Island level with Magic (Comparable to Roswaal L Mathers. He was able to make it snow from Mathers Mansion all the way to the Royal Capital) | At least Country level, likely far higher (Puck has the power to destroy the entire world, burying all lands in ice and snow by forcibly draining the surrounding mana and expanding a frozen world of absolute zero, eventually causing everything to sink into its white end as if falling asleep. Far superior to Garfiel Tinsel)

Speed: Supersonic flight speed (Comparable to Roswaal), Sub-Relativistic combat speed (Comparable to Elsa Granhiert)

Stamina: Superhuman (Puck fought in earnest against Roswaal for an entire day and night. A spirit can stay manifested and regenerate their mana body so long as they have mana, and Puck can forcibly drain mana from the entire world)

Range: Hundreds of Kilometers (Puck made it snow for the entire distance from Roswaal Mansion to the Royal Capital Lugunica) | Hundreds of Kilometers, eventually Planetary (He can turn the entire world into lands of frozen soil)

Intelligence: Above Average normally, Gifted magician (Throughout his battle with Elsa, Puck purposefully scattered the icicles that she shattered and evaded in order to lead her into a trap, made possible by their difference in ages. He is exceptionally precise with his magic, managing to freeze shut Subaru's internal wounds that weren't even visible, prolonging his life. With his vanishing existence, Puck destroyed the seals and delayed the spell Roswaal had set up in Sanctuary, unraveling the skillful magical bulwark that would have stumped Emilia)

Weaknesses: Puck was weakened while Contracted with Emilia, which is why he would only appear from 9am to 5pm. His Contract with Emilia violated his Contract with Echidna, causing him to forget most of his past while Contracted with Emilia.

Spoiler: Notable Techniques

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Ice Magic: Puck's specialty is ice, but he actually uses Fire Mana to reduce the temperature of his targets. As the Great Spirit of Fire, Puck is the single most powerful wielder of the Fire attribute, allowing him to create enormous structures of ice, freeze people down to their very souls, stir up blizzards at will, and bathe anything he wishes in a wave of absolute zero for all eternity.
• Mana Drain: As a Spirit, Puck is capable of absorbing mana from the atmosphere and from living things. As mana is the force of life itself, forcibly draining it from someone can knock them unconscious, or outright kill them. Puck is capable of performing this absorption of mana on a global scale, turning the world's power into his own, and freezing the surroundings.
• Star Beastification: Puck's trump card, which earned him the epithet "Beast of the End". This allows Puck to shift into his Star Beast form: a cat-like monster over 20 meters huge, and far more powerful than Puck's regular form. This transformation is exceedingly costly in its mana-expense, and maintaining it requires Puck to constantly absorb mana from the world around him, resulting in everything freezing at absolute zero, which will eventually turn the entire world into a frozen wasteland.
• Shamak: A low-level Yin Magic spell he can cast, which cuts off his target's senses from the rest of the world, depriving them of sensory input such as sight and hearing, only allowing them to feel the ground beneath their feet.

Spirit Physiology

Additions

• Telepathy (A Spirit can communicate telepathically with either their Contractor or with anyone who has an affinity for Spirits. The nature of spirits allows them to read a person's surface thoughts, detecting any malice, hostility, or intent to harm.)
• Analytical Prediction (A spirit's ability to vaguely read thoughts is corollary to the phenomenon of experts in perceiving mana easily guessing others' emotions, which can be used to accurately predict attacks through lines of killing intent.)
• Duplication (Spirits are able to duplicate themselves by dividing their existence.)

Removals
The section dedicated to Beatrice not conforming to standard Spirit Physiology should be removed entirely as it would be more appropriate on Beatrice's page.

 

[CastoriceTheFifth]

Prepare another 4 months wait fr

 

[Zabazab]

I hadn't even advertised this anywhere yet. Scary.

 

[CastoriceTheFifth]

Remove these ig to shorten the crt since its the exact same

Lifting Strength: Unknown physically, Class G with Magic (Comparable to Roswaal) | At least Class G (Far stronger than before. He crushed Melakuera under his paw)

Striking Strength: Unknown | Country level

Durability: Unknown physically, Island level with barriers (He withstood attacks from Melakuera) | Country level

Standard Equipment: None

Personally, would remove the AP section too since it sounds almost the exact same but reworded

Btw CRT looks good

 

[Zabazab]

I wanted to keep speed since I did remove the key split, as there's no suggestion Puck gets faster or slower with Star Beastification.

Yeah I missed that whoops

 

[EL_xWatcher1234x]

Greater Life-Energy Absorption (To maintain his Star Beast form, Puck forcibly absorbs ambient mana from the world, bringing it towards the end as everything freezes at absolute zero in an expanding radius)

Maybe add heat absorption ?

Purification (Type 2; Puck can detect and dispel curses before they activate)

This should be limited to "unactivated curses"

 

[VortechsTG]

I feel like the description of Puck trouncing Melekuera could be interpreted as a speed-blitz but it's kinda vague so it's probably fair to remove it?

"The great beast grimaced at Melakuera’s murmur, and then swung its paw sideways. In an instant, one of the flaming horses charging from the right took a direct hit, and its flaming body was easily ripped away. In other words, its Od had been exposed―
'For one of the Four Greats, you’re not putting up much of a fight.'
Ensnaring it with its claws, his fellow spirit ripped the Od apart with no hesitation. That was all it took for the part of himself that had been ripped open to lose its core and for the flames to then disappear with a noise." - Bonds of Ice chapter 4

 

[Reiner04]

Looks fine to me.

 

[CastoriceTheFifth]

Has anyone tried asking @Celestial_Pegasus

 

[Crimsonobu]

Isn't it stated the abilities of spirit depend on mana and stuff. A spirit has superior abilities than a micro spirit in strength and other stats due to more mana.

Puck in his star beautification state is superior in abilities due to having more mana than his base state. That would mean higher speed by an unknown amount though.

 

[Zabazab]

Isn't it stated the abilities of spirit depend on mana and stuff.

I mean, is it? It'd take a fairly explicit statement that speed rises alongside mana reserves.

 

[FinePoint]

Adding/Editing:

• Non-Physical Interaction (Elemental, Mind, & Soul; He killed the fellow Great Spirit Melakuera by freezing and crushing his Od, which is synonymous with the owner's soul. Affecting the soul also affects the mind, as the mental has been equated to the spiritual)

They used magic according to the scan. NPI is about making physical contact.

far higher (Puck has the power to destroy the entire world, burying all lands in ice and snow

Should probably get a calc for this.

Speed: Supersonic flight speed (Comparable to Roswaal)

Needs to be linked.

Everything else seems fine.

 

[Zabazab]

They used magic according to the scan. NPI is about making physical contact.

Ah I recalled the scene in the OVA, he was holding the Od before freezing and crushing it in his paws. And he was holding it in this scene:

As the astonished flame ruptured, Puck who was still in good health inside it was holding a red light.

A light that could be held by Puck who was small enough to fit in a palm― That was the core of a spirit, the Od. To a spirit it was the source of their life, and when exposed it was also a fatal weak point.

If their defenseless Od were to be crushed, any spirit would die. Even Melakuera.

“Any last words?”

Puck who quite literally had victory in his hands asked this as if offering his final sympathies. With its Od stolen by Puck, the mass of flame that was losing its form started blazing especially bright―

But there's a much more explicit scene where Puck physically rips apart Melakuera and his Od.

Needs to be linked.

I didn't do so since he was linked in AP already, but I can link him if that's how it should be done.

 

[FinePoint]

But there's a much more explicit scene where Puck physically rips apart Melakuera and his Od.

In that case it is fine.

I didn't do so since he was linked in AP already, but I can link him if that's how it should be done.

I think it is, but formatting's not really my specialty.

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

This is fine.

 

[Zabazab]

Right then I'll apply this once grace finishes in several hours. Next will maybe be Rem.

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

Also Finepoint was right about the ap, the rewrite makes it seem like Puck can instantly nuke the world, which isn't the case, so I would reword that to make it clear its over time.

 

[Zabazab]

Edited.

likely far higher (Puck has the power to destroy the entire world, burying all lands in ice and snow by forcibly draining the surrounding mana and expanding a frozen world of absolute zero, eventually causing everything to sink into its white end as if falling asleep. Far superior to Garfiel Tinsel)

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

Looks good.

 

[CastoriceTheFifth]

Next will maybe be Rem.

You should do both sisters for the crt fr

 

[Zabazab]

No, Ram's bag is deeper than you'd think.

 

[Zabazab]

Changes applied.
