Lana V. Miata's Sheet

Powers

Nightmare Chain

This is a Belkan Armed Device with 3 different modes: Staff, Needle Cannon, and Twin Claws. It also provides a Barrier Jacket for the user, the ability to create a Dimensional Barrier, as well as some basic flight capabilities. When the Nightmare Chain is active, Lana assumes the identity of Starfall Omen, an evil magical girl working for Obsidian. A lot of these moves share names/elements of different phases of the Lavos boss fights from Chrono Trigger, but they are not one to one copies. There's no real way to adapt them without adding some creative interpretation. Some of these moves are also inspired by the Seed of Sunrise Lost Logia, for example with Labyrinth Architect being changed to Schildarchitek (Shield Architect).

Staff Mode is for high powered casts. It sacrifices all defense and mobility for the sake of raw offensive power.

Spells List: Himmels Zerstorung: Creates a large mana sphere in the sky which breaks into smaller fireballs and bathes a wide area in fire. This is her Big Attack. Traumlos: Fire beams of dark magic at foes, drawing from Lana's own innate darkness. Boser Stern: Create a single large fireball and fling it at something. Has limited homing capabilities but is still very easily dodged by an evasive target.

Needle Cannon is all about ranged combat and heavy tanking. Nightmare Chain becomes a hybrid of shield and cannon, sacrificing mobility for defense while still maintaining a reasonable ranged offense. It does not do well in melee range due to how bulky and heavy this weapon is.

Spells List: Untergangsflamme: A rapid-fire mode shooting bolts of dark flame. The kickback of this mode is usually extreme enough that Lana has to be careful not to fall over. She uses this much like one might use an SMG. Schattentotung: Nightmare Chain emits a poisonous dark fog that Lana is immune to but is bad news for anyone coming close to her. While the fog obscures her forms, it's still pretty easy to deduce where she is by seeing where the fog is coming from. Schildarchitekt: Rapidly creates a series of shields around Lana, making it hard to approach her. These shields can be broken with enough force, as they sacrifice durability for coverage.

Twin Claws mode is a more melee focused form. While other forms of Nightmare Chain focus on fighting a large number of weaker opponents, Twin Claws is all about taking on an equal opponent. As a Belkan melee mode, it relies more upon the sharpness of claws than its spells, but it still has a couple of tricks.

Spells List: Grosserstein: The claws absorb dark energy, becoming thicker and heavier and taking on a more stony texture. By itself this is more of a buff than a direct attack. Dichtungsketten: Magical chains fling out from each of the claws, flailing and potentially wrapping around any who get caught in them. Lana uses this more as a support skill in the hopes that a team mate will score the ending blow, as binding attacks like these tend to work both ways.

Fallen Dream Star and the Fallen Star Pendant

The Fallen Dream Star was once a small part of an ancient space ship, but it was ejected into space when the ship exploded. Since then, it has drifted unpowered through space and dimensions, been corrupted by dark powers, and eventually became the home of Lana V. Miata. The inside of it is a small room containing a sleep pod and other life support necessities. The outside is an expanding shell of magical armor meant to contain all of the energy that Lana gathers. By default, the Fallen Dream Star stays hidden within a pocket dimension, far away from those who would destroy it or steal its energy.

Lana also has the Fallen Star Pendant, an artifact created through dark magic that she wears at all times. It allows her to transfer stolen energy to the Fallen Dream Star, as well as open the dimensional portals that allow her to go home. In theory she can control the Fallen Dream Star remotely, but this doesn't help her out in combat because, unless Lana wants to spend the energy that she's spent so much time gathering, the Fallen Dream Star doesn't do anything but store energy and heal her wounds.

As Lana gathers energy, the Fallen Dream Star starts to grow more and more 'spikes'. Each of these spikes is a dark magic missile that can eventually be launched, wave after wave, in one large brutal attack. Since this scales according to the amount of energy that Lana has gathered, it's exact power varies according to plot, and once it blows all of its ammo it will take time to gather enough energy to fire it again. Since these spikes are made of dark energy, they are more vulnerable to being destroyed by purification attacks.

Despite having once been a part of a space ship, the mobility of the Fallen Dream Star is roughly on the same level of a helicopter or VSTOL. Due to its vulnerabilities and the importance of its gathered energy, it tends to hide within a pocket dimension, only opening portals to the real world in order to let Lana travel around safely or escape danger.

This also ties in somewhat with the Lavos theme, being somewhat similar to the Lavos Shell in purpose and also being covered in spikes.

Voselle

Independant of her Device and other ancient Belkan horrors, Lana Miata is possessed by the dark spirit Voselle, an ancient formless being from between dimensions who seeks only destruction. While Lana and Voselle have merged into one being over time, it's the Voselle part of her that allows for the direct draining of energy as well as the power to be fueled by darkness. While it's possible to unleash dark magic blasts on foes using Voselle's powers alone, it's far less efficient than simply using her own device and, as such, is only useful for emergencies.

While a threat in its own right, Voselle isn't really capable of complex thought, and therefore requires both the planning ability of Lana and the calculations of the Fallen Dream Star in order form complex plans. This has led to an association between knowledge and the ability to destroy, which in turn amplifies Lana's insatiable hunger for all information. Voselle doesn't really care how accurate or useful the information is. It just wants more.

Voselle is also the true source of Lana's immortality. Without the power of darkness, Lana would just be a normal girl living in the late middle ages, and she would have have died centuries ago. If Voselle ever got driven out of Lana via purification magic, Lana would likely start aging normally. Assuming she survived the purification process.

Perfect Bits

Perfect Bits are the type of youma that Lana summons. Usually they are based upon whatever content she has consumed recently. What this means in practical terms is that if Lana spends a lot of time watching cat videos, she might create a Perfect Bit that is some surreal towering multi-headed cat monstrosity. If she listens to a bunch of ASMR videos, she might create a monster that makes subtle, whispering sounds armed with giant tuning forks. These require a certain amount of energy to create, but they make up for this by also being able to drain a lot of energy from civilians at once.

The underlying theme of the Perfect Bits is right there in the name: perfection. They are, in some way or another, some kind of pinnacle or optimal form. This does not necessarily mean that they are peak combat machines. Most of the time, it's something like the fluffiest possible bunny, or a creature that makes the most annoying possible sound. It should also be noted that these are not always /actually/ perfect, but rather an attempt at perfection as Lana finds new and different ways to optimize new concepts.
