Powers/Abilities

◈ Dark Element ◈
He can create, shape and manipulate the elements of a darker, detrimental nature; that which damages, destroys, and consumes anything/everything they come across, representing the hazardous destructive side of nature, which in turn ignores most of the limitations and weaknesses of the normal elements. In essence, this is about solely controlling the negative powers of nature itself

⋄⋅Kevin Moon⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Sake⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Age Regression ◈
By scratching or biting anyone, the sake in his blood puts his targets in a weak drunken state and even renders them unconscious. This allows his power to take effect. He ages the mind of the affected backwards, affecting their mental state completely. Their mental age regresses to that of a child or baby. They think and act as they're regressed age, until a cure is found. The longer they're under the effect, the deeper they regress, to the point where they're incapable of speech, and even get to the point of dying. (Only scratching or biting them once more can cure them, but it's found to be difficult with the victim's guard amplified from the effects)

◈

⋄⋅Choi Chanhee⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: New⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Pheromone ◈
He has complete control over the pheromones, a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species, of himself and others, including releasing pheromones that induce attraction between subjects (or within a subject for oneself), to exuding pheromones strong enough to induce sleep, change/influence emotions, draw crowds, etc. Pheromones may induce a pleasure, or may put subjects into a state of high suggestibility (either of which is useful for limited mind control). Other uses of these pheromones can be used to mark territory (causing people to feel the compulsion to not go into a certain area), or to leave a pheromone path which others can follow. His pheromones may even increase stamina, slightly stimulate the healing process or (used offensively) cause foes to become disoriented, violent or extremely sick

◈

⋄⋅Ji Changmin⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Q⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ War Hammer Titan ◈
He has the ability to transform into the War Hammer Titan. The War Hammer Titan can produce and manipulate structures that are made of hardened Titan flesh. These structures can be weaponized, forming pikes large enough to impale and lift a Titan, flooding areas with protrusions such as spikes, and manifesting the Titan's signature war hammer. This ability can also create flexible weaponry components, such as the string of a crossbow or the whips of a cat-o'-nine-tails, making this a particularly unique brand of hardening. This hardening can also be used to encase Q inside a crystal casing. Contrary to any other Titan, it is possible for the War Hammer Titan to remove its control center from its nape. Under such circumstances, the body of the Titan will be connected to Q by a long cable of flesh, while his body is encased in hardened crystal and connected with the said cable. Unlike other Titans, the War Hammer Titan body can emerge from various locations upon transformation because Q does not need to be inside of its nape

◈ ODM ◈
He is able to create and replicate special ODM Gear. The Omni-Directional Mobility Gear is a set of equipment developed by Q allowing for great mobility when facing Titans and larger opponents in combat. The equipment enables the him to fight in a 3D space as opposed to a 2D one. The equipment itself takes the form of a body harness that encompasses much of the body below the neck. Although the equipment can grant a skilled user tremendous mobility, it is a demanding art that requires strength, and skill, both of which must be honed through constant practice. Some tools involved in the apparatus include Hand grips, Piston-shot grapple-hooks, Gas-powered mechanisms, and an Iron wire propeller with plug-in blades

◈

⋄⋅Ju Haknyeon⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Jeju⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Demonic Weaponry ◈
He can create and/or wield any weaponry imbued with incredible demonic power and make it so that no one is capable of using the weapons, except for those who are worthy of its power. The exact power the weapon possesses highly varies on the type of demonic force that empowers it. It can either be capable of small yet efficient feats, or possess power that is capable of controlling vast forces of the demonic plane

◈

⋄⋅Kim Sunwoo⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Seonoo⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Jaw Titan ◈
He had the ability to transform in the Jaw Titan, a Titan with a ferociously powerful set of jaws and claws that are able to tear through almost anything. The Jaw Titan possesses, as its name implies, an incredible biting and crushing strength in its jaws and claws which can be used with devastating efficiency against both Titans, larger opponents, and man-made structures. Its claws are strong enough to cause severe damage to armored opponents such as turrets. Those who hold the power of the Jaw Titan demonstrate great amounts of speed and agility in their Titan form. Though the Jaw Titan is relatively small and weak, its mobility excels in terrain such as a forest with trees

◈

⋄⋅Son Youngjae⋅⋄
⋅⋄Hero Name: Eric⋄⋅

Powers/Abilities

◈ Armored Titan ◈
He has the power to transform into the Armored Titan. The defining feature of the Armored Titan is the all-encompassing layer of plated, armor-like segments of hardened skin protecting its body. This armor is capable of shielding the Titan from significant amounts of damage. However, the armor has some limitations and is not capable of protecting him from high-power weaponry. The armor can be used for physical protection as well as offensively, dealing great damage upon impact on anything the Titan charges. While certainly formidable, the primary disadvantage of the Armored Titan's skin is the decreased speed of the Titan form. Whether due to increased weight or restrained movement, the Armored Titan is only capable of maintaining moderate running speeds when completely armored. This can be alleviated if he chooses to shed segments of the armor to increase movement capability, such as the armor behind the knees, enabling the Titan to move with incredible speed. The Armored Titan is also capable of utilizing crystal-like hardening around its body to at least some extent. The Armored Titan can also use this ability to create claws on its hands and feet which can be used to cause even greater damage
