Extra Crispy Caleb Revision

[Hl3_or_bust]

Ok so, I've noticed that Caleb's profile is missing something rather important as of late.

Basically, the entire plot of Blood is that Tchernobog wanted Caleb to go around and kill a shitton of people to grow in power, so that he could kill Caleb and get his power. This, along with it being stated a lot of times in Blood 2 that Caleb literally absorbed Tchernobog's powers and became The One That Binds, should give Caleb Power Absorption and all of Tchernobog's powers.

I can provide scans if needed, but this is pretty clear-cut and literally mentioned several times on Caleb's page.

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

Seems pretty straight foward.

 

[Overlord775]

Shouldn't he also have the powers of everyone else he killed ?

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

From what I can tell, that wouldn't give him anything he doesn't already have except for maybe summoning from Shial and portals from the Blood 2 bosses.

 

[Overlord775]

Portal Creation and Energy Projection (Eyes Beams) from Naga

Also Dimensional Travel since the Naga comes from outside reality

Magic, Teleportation, Energy Manipulation (Shockwaves of energy), Forcefield Creation from Ishmael

Wall-Crawling, Web Creation, Summoning, Poison Manipulation from Shial

Armor and Forcefield Negation, Transformation from Beast

Air Manipulation from Behemoth

This is probably fine.

You can ask the active and experienced members listed in the Blood (Verse) page to comment here if you wish.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks pretty good; though, Mr King was the one who knew the verse quite well and he appear inactive.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, somebody can ask him anyway if they wish.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I asked him via Discord

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

This is what he said to me.

Caleb doesn't have all of the powers of everything he killed. He has the power of all the things he killed, in the sense of physical might, not abilities. He absorbed their essence, therefore gaining their strength (or something, it's left extremely vague), and Tchernobog planned on absorbing his essence once he'd done so to everyone else. As for having the powers of Tchernobog, going by Blood II, he only gained the ability to bind and separate realities from each other. He doesn't appear to have access to any of the special magic or boss-specific abilities Tchernobog showed in the first game, and even if he does, he lacks even the most rudimentary knowledge of how to use them. As it was, it took the entire second game just for him to figure out how to use his reality-binding abilities, and it's not even left clear whether or not he succeeded in his attempt to use them.

 

[Antvasima]

So should we classify that as just regular Absorption then?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

By the sound if it, I'd say yes.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That seems fine then.
