NOVEMBER 2022

Notable Actions
- Learned about Kowloon and has been spending a significant amount of time scoping it out, looking for the place he needs/just generally hanging out in bars and the like, working to establish himself there. He's taken to it like a fish to water. It's great. It's one of his favourite places now. There's a bar (that remains unnamed because I am bad at naming things) on one of the main streets he's a regular at, and at least some people in the city would recognize him by now — if not by the fact that he's very obviously a Zenite with a black sclera discord-related problem, then by his nature as just an amiable guy who fits right in with little effort. The discord only got in the way by virtue of how long he could spend in Kowloon; he didn't let it get to him otherwise while down there.
-- Met Silco there; introduced Emet-Selch to it as well.
- Despite his discord throughout the month, Amos partook more in Springstar's festivities than Highstorm's, mostly because of the food. He's unsentimental so Highstorm's vibe ain't it for him at all, but food everywhere!! An easy choice. Met plenty of friends old and new.
-- Is in the process of checking out the guns in Highstorm as well, surveying what they're capable of, including some disassembly and reassembly to get an idea of the tech level he has currently available to him.
- Didn't go to Alenroux at all... sorry Yima... Kowloon and food were so much more important than some guy he doesn't know.
-- BUT, Vander did ask him if he could ask around Kowloon about Manon, so starting sometime in the second half of November — at least a couple of weeks after Amos has started establishing himself down there — he would've started doing just that, with a very light touch (i.e. bringing it up casually, not pursuing if rebuffed, dropping it entirely at a moment's notice). I'm not sure if I should be taking this to investigations, but it's the end of the month anyway so I'm good to just leave it as a note here for now unless told otherwise!!
- He's killing a dryad with Eustace and Gen, with some help from the dagger Yima gave him.
Did Your Character Check In?
Yes, before embarking on the dryad hunt.

Token Purchase
Purchasing: Major Power
Cost: 3 tokens (with discount)
Description: Gravity manipulation.
He's able to control the effects and intensity of gravity on anything with a 30-foot radius extending from himself, with a range of 0-12 g's.

Amos is able to reduce the weight of an object or person (including himself) within his range to the point of maintained levitation, and increase it with relative ease up to 7 g. Beyond 7 g it's possible, but far more draining to the point of exhausting himself, i.e. gravity immediately reverting back to normal while he ends up in a weakened state/unable to use it again without sufficient recovery/potentially passing out. It's naturally more difficult to use on something living/with a will and agency of its own and capacity to resist (i.e. subject to player discretion, so he can't just cause people to stroke out or anything like that).

His aptitude is inversely proportional to how close something is to him — the closer something is to his person, the easier it is for him to manipulate it, to the point that at the 30-foot range anything he can do is borderline negligible.
Notes: I'm good to nerf anything that needs it! I went with numbers that seemed like a good balance between making it a major power without being ridiculous, but am wide open to changes as need be. I've never had the chance to really give this ability teeth before haha...
