Niso's Progression thread

Quirk Benefit 2
Self manipulation - Niso can continue to move his body beyond the failing of key points. Dislocated joints or slashed muscle fibres, Niso still retains active function across his body thanks to controlling each cell individually. He can further manipulate his body into impossible contortions, shifting the locations of organs within his own body, or completely pulling the bones from a limb into his torso, making it a limb of sheer muscle that can squeeze into smaller places.

Stamina
Rank: C
Effect: Niso's stamina is born from his inability to say no to the signals of his own body. He has powered through those alarming signals a fair chunk of his life and still says no, and as such, he's learned how to power through them even better. The continued efficiency of his cell control has furthered his ability to efficiently use his stamina, in effect deepening his reserves.

Beyond this, Niso’s tenacity alone has started to come very much into play. Pushing through pain with efficient movements and a narrowed mindset means that Niso excels at pushing his body beyond the breaking point. While his body is, technically, majorly still that of a frail humans, Niso knows how to use it with 100% efficiency, knows how to laugh through pain, and knows no matter what happens, he’ll heal through it later, and as such can damage and break his body all in the effort of remaining at 100% output.

Quirk Benefit 2
Stamina - With extreme control over his internal processes Niso can both conserve energy extremely well and absorb nutrients at a rapid pace. Furthermore with his knowledge of how to use his body the normal limits of stamina can typically struggle to apply to him, the pain and fatigue most people suffer still felt by his body, but overiding his body's own natural 'halting' mechanisms to force continued action.

Marienette of Mayhem
Rank: C - Fighting Style
Effect: Niso can continue to move his body beyond the failing of key points. Dislocated joints or slashed muscle fibres, Niso still retains active function across his body thanks to controlling each cell individually. He can further manipulate his body into impossible contortions, shifting the locations of organs within his own body, or completely pulling the bones from a limb into his torso, making it a limb of sheer muscle that can squeeze into smaller places. Ultimately able to shift and contort into forms of attack and strikes that others couldn't possibly do without long term damage to themselves.

Tickling the Ivories
Rank: F - Piano playing
Effect: An odd little obsession from his childhood, no longer tied under the roof of St Marta's Niso has managed to learn how to play the piano somewhat competently. He's no expert but he can do a few catchy tunes with ease.

Purge
Rank: F - Toxin Resist
Effect: With full control over his bodily functions and his cells, Niso can literally locate toxins and foreign entities in his body and force them out of his system. Of course stronger, more potent toxins can infect his body before he can purge them, but he can at least attempt to lessen the effects

Quirk
Cellular Consciousness

Type: Mutation

Rank: C

Description: Niso's quirk works in the sense he has a conscious control over all of his bodily functions and cells. At a baseline, he can efficiently manipulate bodily functions like metabolism. On a more extreme level, Niso can continue to manipulate muscles even after they can logically be used, allowing him to swing dislocated arms with some accuracy, or shift his body in unnatural ways. This can be related to the uncertain and whimsical motions of a marionette, only Niso is a puppet of flesh manipulating his own strings.

Ultimately, Niso has full cellular control of his own body. He can force wounds closed or promote the growth of new cells, prevent extreme bleeding, etc, but it can be hard to focus on so many processes, even if it's something he's experienced his whole life.

Benefits

1. Healing factor - Niso can heal his own wounds over the course of 4 posts. He can heal severe wounds during the course of a fight, minor wounds in much shorter periods, and even more serious injuries (like shattered bones) over longer periods of time outside of threads.
   
   
2. Stamina - With extreme control over his internal processes Niso can both conserve energy extremely well and absorb nutrients at a rapid pace. Furthermore with his knowledge of how to use his body the normal limits of stamina can typically struggle to apply to him, the pain and fatigue most people suffer still felt by his body, but overiding his body's own natural 'halting' mechanisms to force continued action.
   
   
3. Endurance - Niso fears death above all else and as such has focused his quirk on surviveability. He knows how to prevent blood loss, prepare his body against punches, and even has created several preventative measures against death, such as faking death, reducing bodily functions while maintaining a healing factor, and ultimately just stopping his body from being a fucking idiot and killing itself like so many others might.
   

Exhaustion and Weakness:Niso's key drawback is his own mentality when using his quirk. Pain is not a stopper for him like most people, and while he can manipulate his body in many ways he can make things worse in the process, by perhaps tangling muscle fibres himself and losing use of a limb when he isn't expecting it, or even putting pressure on his own heart by constricting other tissues around it through contortion.

Niso can also do much more damage to himself in simpler ways. Healing around a pronged impalement can make it harder to remove, or trying to rip himself from such impalements can create much more serious injuries.

Clearly of course he also cannot create stuff from nothing. Promoting cell growth or the action of cells beyond their normal limits will naturally cost him more stamina. A rule of thumb is Niso's natural actions, such as walking about, ultimately cost less stamina because no part of his body acts as 'dead weight' in a process (his entire leg moves, not just the muscles inside), while processes he forces, moving internal organs, unmoveable limbs, or closing wounds, drain his stamina in excess.

M.A.R.I.N.E Effect - Niso went through horrific side effects after taking the forbidden drug but came out of it in a new state. While some of it's boosting effects are temporary, Niso has learned and grown from the experience. He has mastered the ability to form and manipulate stem cells and controlling his own body through methods that would not be instinctively logical. Niso is effectively no longer bound to the limits of perfecting himself by the limits of human biology, but is effectively a hive mind of cells forming a person.

Benefits

1. Healing factor - Niso can heal his own wounds over the course of 4 posts. He can heal severe wounds during the course of a fight, minor wounds in much shorter periods, and even more serious injuries (like shattered bones) over longer periods of time outside of threads. Since taking MARINE Niso can heal in more extreme ways, able to actively re-generate bone rather than stitching himself back together. He may not even need his own bones, but they do help keep his form stable.
   
   
2. Stamina - With extreme control over his internal processes Niso can both conserve energy extremely well and absorb nutrients at a rapid pace. Furthermore with his knowledge of how to use his body the normal limits of stamina can typically struggle to apply to him, the pain and fatigue most people suffer still felt by his body, but overiding his body's own natural 'halting' mechanisms to force continued action. Since taking MARINE Niso isn't bound to human limitations either, able to 'remove' parts of his body designed to limit him and prevent him breaking, and hyper-improving parts designed to enhance him like his own adrenaline glands.
   
   
3. Endurance - Niso fears death above all else and as such has focused his quirk on surviveability. He knows how to prevent blood loss, prepare his body against punches, and even has created several preventative measures against death, such as faking death, reducing bodily functions while maintaining a healing factor, and ultimately just stopping his body from being a fucking idiot and killing itself like so many others might. Since taking MARINE Niso can still be broken down and 'defeated' but even striking his brain is no longer a guarantee of death. Extreme measures must be taken to truly kill him.
   

Exhaustion and Weakness: While no longer bound by the limits of typical 'human biology', Niso can still weaken himself accidentally. Over-eagerness in regeneration or manipualting his form can lead to mistakes or just simply over-straining cells in particular areas of his body, potentially breaking down cellularly and briefly taking a much less effective 'goopy' state.

Niso can still also do much more damage to himself in simpler ways. Healing around a pronged impalement can make it harder to remove, or trying to rip himself from such impalements can create much more serious injuries. He is better at healing these now but it is still a burn on his stamina.

Clearly of course he also cannot create stuff from nothing. Promoting cell growth or the action of cells beyond their normal limits will naturally cost him more stamina. A rule of thumb is Niso's natural actions, such as walking about, ultimately cost less stamina because no part of his body acts as 'dead weight' in a process (his entire leg moves, not just the muscles inside), while processes he forces, moving internal organs, unmoveable limbs, or closing wounds, drain his stamina in excess.

Purge It all
Rank: E - Burn Resist
Effect: Niso knows what it means to sacrifice cells for his own survival, and nothing is allowed to be dead-weight anymore. Niso can actively shed parts of his body suffering from burns, and while he may not be able to perfectly deter the effects of such status', he can severely reduce them in a good number of cases.

I SAID PURGE MOTHERF@#$&ER!!!
Rank: F - Mental Resist
Effect: Due to being a collective consciousness of his cells, a hive mind of a creature, Niso is able to heavily resist effects that alter or warp his mind. (To align with his toxin-resist, something he must breathe in is affected by his toxin resist, while visual effects that cause nausea or hallucinations are resisted by this stat.)

Parasitic Learning
Rank: E
Effect: Learning how to rapidly shift his new cell-makeup from linking with Parasyte, Niso can rapidly digest and create cells in his limbs and other points on his body to expand himself up to 10-12 meters away from the core of his being. This typically manifests as elongated limbs, flesh tendrels, or combined with his disguise ability, simply mutating into more immense, grotesque forms

Meet me at My Level
Rank: E - Weakness
Effect: Niso may not be the deadliest creature himself but he knows how typical human biology works. And so do his cells. Be it through a cut or spreading his blood into the air like a vapor, Niso has learned how to send off his cells with a mission. If his cells infect someone else, they will rapidly seek out a person's key joints and muscles and cannibalize them internally. This damage is not permanent and Niso's cells cannot survive long outside of the main collection. They will typically 'weaken' someone's offensive capabilities by 2 ranks for 3 rounds. There will be a grace period of 3 rounds after cleansing as the individuals white blood cells will be on high alert.

World's fastest Gremlin
Rank: F - Speed
Effect: Niso knows that with such low damage output, the method 'death by a thousand cuts' is his friend. Niso knows how to make his body work at peak speed and push past exhaustion to hit speeds other humanoids may not be able to reach. He has a ways to go but he can still outpace the average joes of the world.

Eyes in the back of my Everything
Rank: F - Enhanced Senses
Effect: More in tune with the fine senses of his body, Niso effectively has a goosebump like reaction to the slightest changes in his environment now. Furthermore, he can physically generate useful organs at other points of his body, such as ears or eyes and use them effectively, though prolonged use of such changes can lead to confusion based headaches.
