You just get a guy killed, then absorb him. You can also use absorption as a WTFOMG discipline among the members of the Archive, considering how crazy Abel is.
Every single character has a chance of godmodding, but your character has a RELATIVELY SIGNIFICANT chance of godmodding.

Yes, but that would be going against Abel's personality, even though he's insane he wouldn't just go around killing people like Darth Vader.

Annnd so the fuck what?

Wouldn't Abel go crazier, as he absorbs more?
 
He would still get a person killed and absorb him. After a major battle, he would just have the bodies dumped somewhere, so he would be able to absorb each of them as he pleases.

Annnd so the fuck what is that I'm calling godmodding on this one. The other characters can do all their abilities without being godmodding. Here, your abilities would make your character freaking powerful out of nowhere.

Yes he would, but as I said, this would go against his personality. And if need be he can rid a lot of the voices in his head by using their spirits as energy, meaning if he goes too crazy he can fix that. But it would also remove a lot of the info stored up in his brain. You're looking at him as a power-hungry asshole who goes around absorbing every person he meets. The entire time I've had him he's absorbed two people. One was an NPC and the other was Jeffery. And still he has to do something to get said power, it would be god modding if it just fucking blam he's powerful. But no he has to get within arms reach and make contact, by that time anyone smart enough would've either tried to fucking kill him, or moved. And don't give me bullshit about how Hawkeye tried that, Hawkeye fails. He saw that his attack did not work AND basically threw himself onto my characters arm.

Which personality? Mind, the fact that he has so many voices would be degrading on his sanity ANYWAY, and so he would be slipping from all of that. Merely getting rid of the voices wouldn't reverse the insanity, you know. It would just slowen it.

He would be powerful almost instantly. He's fucking absorbing every single parallel person there is. That would be allot of power. He would be almost as powerful as a god. Yes, he vents the energy, but just enough so he won't die, yet be powerful at a maximum level.

I KNOW HE HAS TO GET WITHIN ARM'S REACH! IF SOMEONE WAS EXPECTING A HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT, A SINGLE TOUCH ON THE ARM, AND THE PERSON IS GONE!

If he goes too crazy, he wouldn't be sane enough to fix it in the first place!

How would using spirits as energy remove the knowledge you gained? Also, you would just save the knowledge on a piece of paper, or on a harddrive.

I don't say he's godmodding.
Though I still question his existence for the reason, races can't keep secrets, and things passed to only ones of their kind, because he'd already know them all.
THAT, I have a huge problem with.

And, of course there's the popular 'we dont know that he'll kill us IC by touching us' which is WHY we wouldn't just dodge ever attack he hits us with using that arm.

Well, if you saw a dude running at you with his arm outstretched AND said arm was a fucking skeleton arm. Wouldn't you be a bit paranoid about the fuck is about to happen?

And I've already explained that, to access that knowledge takes an incredibly long time. So long in fact it would be far more efficient to learn it fucking normally. And he doesn't let himself get that crazy, and writing it down he would have to access it. WHICH TAKES A SHIT LOAD O TIME.

I don't see how it's just only people and animals that the arm can only absorb. I don't see what restricts the arm to only absorbing organic material. If Abel wants to, he can just absorb the table, and all of the parallel tables with it, before he enters battle. Or, he could just absorb a body that's lying in a heap of bodies. If I know I have the ability, I would take advantage of it. So, the fact that he knows he could do these things would make his personality change, and become greedy and power-hungry.

I would just think that Abel has a WTFWEIRD arm. You know, like necromancy gone wrong.

You would need to unlock the thing and shit, yes. But before the voices get to you, you would gain knowledge. And how would you know? He only experienced it twice. Only 2 voices. It will be the first time Abel would go mad from voices stuck in his head. He wouldn't know what to expect. He doesn't know his threshold. If he absorbed someone, and got allot of power, he would have enough power to keep himself from going insane, but once that power is gone, he would be VERY susceptible to insanity. It would be too much.

That is just presuming that he would, and it's because it absorbs souls and spirits, last time I checked chairs don't have spirits you ass.

Still would you let his gross skele/arm touch you? I know I wouldn't, I don't want necroaids.

Heee's absorbed more then NPC and Jeffery, but those are the only ones I've killed while I've used him. And Abel currently has a large but finite number of voices in his head. Most of which are just parallel versions of himself. Plus he's a level five Sage, he always has a large amount of power.

Name: Abel

Age: Due to his nature he has a multitude of ages.

Race: Due to his nature he has a multitude of races.

Alliance: Me, myself, and Jim.

Biography: Abel was born a normal human being within a parallel version of Earth, it was slightly more war-torn but it was rebuilding. It had yet to be visited by the Aralangs, or the Guardians, hell it was one of the few version's which had yet to be contacted by any other parallel entities. Until the Aralangs showed up, they had been pursuing an incredibly violent species. It was basically a large virus, capable of infecting all living, or non-living matter. And reproducing itself it various forms. And thats what it did, through many versions it destroyed all life, leaving an empty void filled with nothingness. Until it met those Aralangs, who put the fear of beam weaponry into it.

Chased it across the multi-verse, only to have it end up in Abel's version. It had gained a foothold, and try as they might the Aralangs couldn't shake them from the version. So, to stop it from advancing, they destroyed the entire universe. Carrying only one surviving child with them on their massive Sajuuk. That child was Abel, but when they were in the boundary between parallel universes something happened. A singular viral atom had stowed aboard the ship, and started wrecking havoc. The ship ultimately exploded, within the boundary of the universes. The massive explosion, virus, and chaotic dimensional sea all had a hand in changing Abel into what he was now. It changed his right arm into the one true weapon, the one true way to kill a entity. Abel later learned that the arm worked by exploiting the base connection between the multi-verse he could absorb the soul and spirit of every living creature through contact with his right arm, as well as it's parallel counterparts.

Leaving them dead empty husks, and him filled to the very brim with a godly amount of energy, knowledge, and personality's. But due to the nature of the multi-verse the arm had to compensate for most of the S&S absorbed. If there was a personality excessively similar to on already absorbed it would be overwritten. This prevented Abel from overloading with other people's energy. But still due to the massive amount of spirits within him Abel is a bit unstable. But years living with the burden has granted him some power to control it. He absorbed his counter-parts. Leaving him with all his own knowledge, as well as his personality's. Making him on equal ground with the arm. He never truly switches from his personality to a total strangers, just his to another one of his.

( Alright, the arm absorbs a person's soul and spirit as well as everyone of that person's parallel counterparts. Leaving Abel with all their knowledge and personality's, but the arm compensates by overwriting the more similar ones. And he equaled the grounds by absorbing his counterparts. Leaving him the only one of him. Making him unique. This also grants him a large amount of energy. Near god level after he has absorbed a person or animal. But this doesn't last long, since he has to vent most of it or be destroyed. Abel also compensates by "storing" most of his knowledge behind codes in his mind, when he is done thinking of a particular subject he locks it up. And when he wants to think of another he unlocks it. This is to deal with massive knowledge power. Oh, and its a skeleton arm. :D )

Personality: Abel's a bit odd, he changes from his own personality to his counter-parts at random times. But his own is the alpha, the one in control. He only usaully changes when very fatigued. He is actually a kind person, using his arm only to kill the most dangerous of people. This sometimes includes Aralang leaders, due to the parallel standing. But he is also very clever, having taken a great deal of knowledge and experience from many people. So, to put it simply. He's a bit odd, can be kind or mean depends on his mood, and is extremely intelligent.

Weapons: His right arm and whatever he can lay his hands on at the time.

Equipment: Clothes, various gadgets and doo-hickeys, and candy.

Magic Level: 5 (If he has unlocked the magic code in his mind, can't use both at once.)

Force Level: 5 (If he has unlocked the magic code in his mind, can't use both at once.)

Appearance:

Everyday appearance, forget the scythe though. D:


Easier to see arm.

So, he has absorbed people before, then. That means he must have gained allot of knowledge.

Uh... WTF was with Alice in Wonderland, then? What was with Pinocchio? BOOYAH! CONCRETE EVIDENCE! CARDS, SPOONS, ETC. EVEN A TALKING DOLL! Btw, I was mentioning tables, and you mentioned chairs. Fail.

This is hand-to-hand combat. OF COURSE THERE WILL BE PHYSICAL CONTACT! AIDS is an STD. Unless I have sex with that arm (which would be a hell of a way to go, considering what would happen if I touch the arm), you and I won't have AIDS. Of course, there would be other ways to get AIDS, but the arm is skeleton and only skeleton. Also, I though the skeleton was robotic. Meh. So, where is the virus, then?

Alright, look. Even close-quarters combat you'd dodge attacks. And yes, unless you're completely friggen retarded, you'd dodge a skeletal arm rather than block it no matter who's it is, unless YOU'RE the reason why it's skeletal.

You say it's godmodding, but Orph has put in adequate safeguards, both with the character's personality, his control over the other personalities, and how the arm itself works. From each absorbtion, he gets a one time use, large burst of energy. If he doesn't use it, he dies. What's so godmodding about that?
Seeing the world through a child's eyes is truly a unique experience. It helps you to retrieve that sense of awe, magic and wonder that you lost as you lost your innocence. Tell me, when was the last time that you thought of those childhood dreams? You know, the ones that you used to spend all your time wondering and fantasizing about? Have you forgotten them so easily? Have you forgotten what it felt like to see something for the first time, to see the magic in the mundane? Everyone says you should take the time to 'Stop and smell the roses'. But you should also take the time to look for the fairies, embrace the wind and enjoy the rain. Just once today, stop for a moment and look into that little piece of nature you pass everyday. Perhaps you may see something you did not notice before.

You cant dodge every attack, and chances are in close quarters combat, he'd block with that arm being as its indestructible. In close-quarters combat, you wouldn't have a chance of defeating him, since he'll use that arm for every block, and since its impossible to dodge everything sans being the DC superhero Flash(or any other being with super-speed), he'd get you eventually with it unless you purposely exit close combat, which could be taken as metagaming considering our characters might not know about the powers of the arm, and thus wouldn't have any reason to play keep away.
And no, actually, in reality if I didn't know what the arm did, I would assume that he'd done that for use of his arm and hand bones as a form of claws and with better flexibility. By having a skeletal arm, you wouldn't have your own muscles restricting the movement of it, so it'd be faster and easier to use, and he could potentially have sharpened his own fingers into a claw. I would try to dodge it, yes, but more out of the same reason you'd dodge a guy coming at you with a axe, not because I though it'd have any supernatural ability(aside from being a skeletal arm, of course).

I agree with Hiro, in that even if it was a skeleton, most people here would not know IC, unless you had past expirance with fighting his arm, that you must dodge his arm or be destroyed. And either way, the more people he absorbs the crazier he gets, right? So he wouldn't really have any control over himself in a real sense and more of a halucinagenic control if anything.And he has absobed plenty of people, if not  in the actual Rp, then in his backstory.

Yep, he's insane but also has his own personality backing him up, and Sages are far, far strong mentally then Human beings are. A regular Sage with schizophrenia would most likely be the same as a normal Human being, in mind control thingy wise.

Annd so the fuck what if they don't know? If you die it's your own damned fault.

Riiight, totally our fault that our ignorance about a skeleton arm (where such things may be considered normal if not for Abel's ability) that can SUCK YOUR EVERLASTING SOUL OUT OF YOUR BODY IF YOU TOUCH IT. So totally our fault.
