Skill Set Name: The Devil Of Augsburg
Classifcations:Blaster (Primary) / Mover (Secondary) / Master (Tertiary)
Skill Set Information:Utilizing Blaster, Mover, and Master type techniques; This skillset allows for Astrid to move quickly around the battlefield and perform deadly long-range techniques and summoning minions through Master type techniques in order to make up for a lower close-combat capability.
Blaster type techniques are performed mainly through channeling Astrid's Energy through her Modified Blaster Rifle which allows for projectile techniques to have maximum efficiency while also serving as a melee weapon when engaged up close. These techniques are typically long ranged as previously mentioned but some closer-ranged techniques are possible along with a shielding technique in order to compensate for her naturally lower defense than some other Superhumans.
Mover type techniques are mostly focused on repositioning and on flight, allowing for Astrid to place herself above her enemies and rain down her Blaster techniques on them while out of harm's way herself. These techniques mostly lack offense though make up for this in their maneuverability and versatility, as they can be typically used for more than just one singular purpose.
Master abilities focus mainly upon the creation of Familiars that are capable of overwhelming enemies through numbers typically rather than sheer strength, although this is not to say that Familiars created through these techniques are pushovers, rather that their strengths mainly lie in numbers and that they are used in order to create an army rather than a singular super-soldier.
Passives:Powered Eyes:Depending upon the amount of power which Astrid is asserting her eyes will shift in color to match with her eyes changing to red in order to represent small bursts of power and a bright yellow color to represent powerful abilities which require a great deal of Energy.
Flight-Focus:Astrid's Mover type abilities focus mainly on flight and quick mid-air movements or jumps rather than running or climbing and as such she has the natural ability to propel herself up into the air and hover, this is typically in combination with her armor in order to allow her to place herself far above the battlefield and away from any potential dangers while still allowing for attacks in most cases. The maximum height that Astrid is capable of reaching while in flight is 11,000 Meters, the typical flying height of a commercial aircraft.
Bio-Engineered Body:Due to her body having been engineered by her bio-tinker father to be what he believed the 'purest' body he could create out of his daughter, along with the changes made to her body chemistry and the like, Astrid naturally regenerates five percent of her health every post that she is not taking damage, and one percent per post while taking damage, allowing for even her fragile form to at least sustain a few attacks before failing.
Skill Set Strengths:- Allows for a combination of high maneuverability and powerful long range attacks that are capable of destroying an enemy or enemies in an efficient manner while also preventing enemies from retaliating due to being in the air for a majority of the techniques and having a much longer range when coupled with the Modified Blaster Rifle.
- Master type abilities allow for the user to summon minions to fight in close-combat while allowing the user themselves to stay out of melee range, again keeping with the theme of long-range attacks as before.
Skill Set Weakness: - Due to her focus being on Blaster type techniques for her offensive capabilities, Astrid herself mostly lacks powers that focus on or have the ability to engage in close-range combat, though she does have a few. This means that if an opponent were to catch her off-guard and attack her at close-range, she would have a much more difficult time in doing so.
- Astrid is also vulnerable to enemies that are capable of keeping up with her speed due to as mentioned before her long-range focus and without proper time to use her abilities or aim them, she essentially is powerless as a fighter.

Technique Rank B
Technique Focus Energy
Technique Classification(s) Blaster
Technique's Duration three posts / three post cool-down.
Technique Description: Channeling the user's Energy into their weapon of choice (typically a rifle) this creates a bayonet made of Energy at the tip of the weapon and allows them to strike an enemy while using their Energy rather than Strength as a physical attack normally would in order to calculate the damage. The bayonet is six inches in length and cannot be removed from the weapon while this ability is in use.
Technique Name: Blast Shield
Technique Rank B
Technique Focus Energy
Technique Classification(s) Blaster
Technique's Duration Until cancelled / Five post cool-down.
Technique Description:Channeling their energy around their body, the user creates a shield which can either extend outward up to one meter from the user themselves while in mid-air or in long-range combat or can fit the user's form snugly if engaged in close-range combat or on the ground. This shield grants defense equal to the user's Energy while active and if broken will create a small explosion within a five-meter radius including the user themselves which deals damage equal to the user's Energy to all within that radius (including the user as mentioned)
This shield is also only revealed when damage is absorbed, meaning that so long as the user is not attacked or the shield does not absorb damage, it cannot be seen by normal eyes unless another individual's perception is eighty or higher in which case they will be able to see the shield's hex-shaped outline.
Technique Name: Summon Familiar
Technique Rank B
Technique Focus Will
Technique Classification(s) Master
Technique's Duration Until canceled, cost increases by five VP per Familiar past two summoned / Three-post cool-down per two familiars summoned.
Technique Description:Creating a magic circle on a chosen surface within five meters, the user is able to summon two familiars initially (with more familiars able to be summoned at a rate of two per post) that have stats equal to the user's will divided equally into Strength, Health, Defense and Speed, with all other stats considered to be zero such as Intelligence, Energy, Perception, et cetera. These Familiars act upon the user's commands and appear human in all ways except for having pure black eyes and lacking the ability to communicate in more than simple sentences due to them being little more than puppets created by the user to do their bidding. They can perform basic actions such as firing a weapon, grabbing a target and punching/kicking although to perform any higher actions, an ability must be used in tandem that is specifically meant for Familiars, meaning that they cannot fly or utilize Energy in any capacity unless an ability allows them to do so.

Technique Name: Artillery Barrage
Technique Rank A
Technique Focus Energy
Technique Classification(s) Blaster
Technique's Duration One post, five post cool-down.
Technique Description: A devastating technique, this allows the user to channel Energy through a rifle of choice (typically the Modified Blaster Rifle) and fire three large blasts at a target or targets up to sixty meters (although if using the Modified Blaster Rifle, the equipment's increased range is used) that deal the user's full Energy plus twenty in damage in an area that is ten meters in diameter for each explosion and all occur within the same post although all must occur within five meters of one another. Most things caught within this blast such as trees, wildlife, or ordinary Humans are utterly obliterated when this ability hits and only Superhumans with extraordinary ability and defenses will likely be able to escape unless they are fast enough to avoid being in the blast in the first place.
Technique Name: Main Cannon
Technique Rank A
Technique Focus Energy
Technique Classification(s) Blaster
Technique's Duration One Post / Five Post Cool-down.
Technique Description: Similar to the Artillery Barrage technique, this involves channeling the user's Energy through their weapon of choice (usually the Modified Blaster Rifle or another similar Rifle) although is focused in a singular area up to forty meters away (unless using the Modified Blaster Rifle's increased range) creating a massive blast that is twenty meters in diameter and extends upward ten meters into the air. This deals the user's full Energy in damage plus forty and is capable of utterly obliterating ordinary humans or even brick buildings caught in its wake due to the sheer power of the technique, although some superhumans may be able to withstand such an attack if they are strong enough.
