Nyx The Goddess of Night

Name: Hito Hito no Mi Module: Nyx

Type: Mythical Zoan

Effect:  In simple terms the fruit gives the user the power to transform into Nyx and a Nyx hybrid; thus allowing the user all of the vast powers of the goddess of night.  Nyx is an elemental goddess that can not only control and create nighttime and all of its lesser forms but also become night itself.  The great power and vastness of Nyx even kept the like of Zeus at bay as he fears her overwhelming power.  The powers Nyx possesses are based on two main principles, one the fact that she is the night and the second is that she is a mother.  Nyx gave birth to, with the help of darkness to light and day.  On her own Nyx was able to spawn a long list that included: fate, death, sleep, strife, despair, destiny/doom, dreams, blame, sunset, retribution, deceit, friendship, old age, poison, and even pain.


As a fully transformed version of Nyx the user would be able to create an area of night that would be their domain where they could use their power of the night.  For every 10% of devil fruit mastery Nyx could create 30 meters diameter of the night domain.  Powers of the night would allow the user to create and control night; much like darkness.  The night that Nyx can create is as thin as air itself and as durable as high grade high carbon steel.  It looks like a black ethereal mist but is far from being so.  The night that Nyx can create is as limited as the infinite creation of a logia and the night that can be created during the night is as powerful as that of a logia in their natural environment.  As the night swallows the light of day, the user would be able to absorb any source of light.  Night being the original shadow has control over any shadow produced.  Nyx's power over shadow allows the user of the fruit to combine with a shadow and either increases the power of or even immobilize the owner of said shadow.  When combined with a shadow, Nyx passes on or removes all natural stats from the user equal to her own.  For Nyx to combine with the shadow, she must either touch it for several posts (5) or if it is in her night area.  When Nyx combines with a shadow, the owner of the shadow take on physical traits of Nyx; the trait(s) can be subtle or loud.  As a general rule of thumb if Nyx is restricting someone the trait is small while if she's aiding, the trait is bigger such as body shape or hair color.  At full power, the ability of night can even eclipse the sun for a short period of time 10 posts.


During night time, the abilities afforded to the user are increased.  At night all that it touches is the user's area, so all of the planet that is covered in night.  The moon can be eclipsed for as long as it is still night time out.  At night, the user gains a % boost to perception, agility, tactical intelligence, and speed equal to 1/10th % of devil fruit mastery the user has over the fruit.  If night and darkness were to combine their abilities they could turn day and light into night and darkness.  Outside of night and the night area, the user has only limited control over voids can only absorb minor sources of light such as cancel out an attack of light that is equal in stats, and once again must touch a shadow for five consecutive posts to enter into it.


Nyx, after being the goddess of night is a mother to many of the plagues of man.  To active a "plague" the user, while in the form of Nyx must touch the foe or lure the foe into the area of night or be in the night and have a direct view of the victim.  One touch will reduce the stat or number, which the particular curse reduces by 1% for every 10% of the user’s current devil fruit mastery.  That would mean at 100% the touch would remove just 10%.  The touches and curses can be stacked however only one touch and curse can be applied per turn.  All curses last the length of the thread, unless specified otherwise.  

Curses:

• Curse of fate and death removes tactical intelligence, causing the foe to make stupid mistakes that may fate them death.  If a foe would die while the curse is active, they would be swallowed by night and then their body could be used for the remainder of eternity.  
  
  
• Curse of sleep and dreams causes drowsiness that dulls the senses; it lowers the foe's perception.  If the user goes to sleep or becomes unconscious while this curse if active it can drain health, if the user so chooses; by the same amount per turn rather than lower perception; it's due to the vivid nightmares it creates.  The foe will be unable to wake themselves for 1 turn per every 10% devil fruit mastery the user possess.  
  
  
• Curse of strife and destiny or doom causes the victim to lose or gain endurance via a dice roll.  1-3 equals a loss for the victim while a 4-6 equals a win.  Any endurance taken can be inflicted onto anyone the user choses by the same means as the curse.  Endurance that is given by the dice roll portion of the curse lasts for 10 posts.  
  
  
• Curse of blame, deceit, and retribution reduces the victim’s leadership and charisma.  If when this curse is active any captains or vice captains, have their charisma and leadership reduced below 20% lose the ability to lead their crews (loses the use of captain gained npcs).  Losing the ability to lead the crew causes the crew members to lose respect for the captain for the remainder of the thread which could cause crew members to leave the crew permanently.    
  
  
• Curse of sunset and old age is twofold.  First this curse decreases the time it takes for night to come to five (5) posts when it is dusk.  The curse of old age increases the victim’s age which increases or decreases speed by the same amount.  If the user is aged to an age below 40 they gain speed however if it’s an age over 40 they lose speed.  Obviously once the victims speed reaches 0 they become immobile but if it goes below zero it in turn drains away their health by that amount.  
  
  
• Curse of friendship boosts the victim’s charisma and leadership causing them to gain friends (captain npcs) only to lose them shortly after (end of the thread).  This may also create tension on a crew where the crew sees their captain as a worse captain than he/she used to be after the curse is lifted.  
  
  
• Curse of pain and poison causes the victim to lose both health and endurance.  The user loses health per turn rather than per touch however as the poisoning can be cured by a doctor with practical intelligence equal or greater to the users devil fruit mastery the poisoning can be stacked.  If the victim was losing 10hp per turn they'd stat to lose 20hp when stacked once.  When a doctor goes to cure it, it takes 1 turn per 10% of the user’s devil fruit mastery for it to be cured if the doctor's practical intelligence is equal to the user's devil fruit mastery.  If the doctor has a higher practical intelligence it takes one turn per 10% of the user’s devil fruit mastery minus 1 for every % the practical intelligence is greater than the fruit mastery.  With only 10% more in practical intelligence the user can cure it instantly.  
  
  
• Curse of Despair reduces the victim's speed as fear immobilizes.  If the curse is cast three times the victim will lose the ability to activate gears, haki, or forms even if they're activated passively.  Furthermore if the victim's speed goes below zero they lose the will to live, they give up on life much like the effects of the Horo Horo no Mi.  The loss of the will to live lasts for five posts but if the victim is hit by the curse again it will reset back to five posts regardless of the current post count.  
  

Touch of Chaos:

Nyx was shaped and formed from chaos and thus has influences of chaos within night.  By touching a living enemy, the user can place them into an illusion of chaos that slowly drains away their health.  The illusions take away 1hp of health and 1% perception per turn for every 10% of devil fruit mastery.  The touch can be stacked, with one touch per turn.  By touching something that isn't living, the use can transform the substance into any other.  For example they could change coal into gold.  

Physical Appearance:

Nyx looks like a pale skinned woman with long raven or white hair that flows to her waist.  Covering Nyx is a white or black veil that appears to be a black or white mist like aura.  The veil can appear to be anything from a full dress to nothing more than a floating black mist surrounds Nyx.  Often times the veil doesn't cover parts of Nyx that many would consider indecent.  Besides the mystic veil, Nyx has a pair of black wings that she can summon onto her back at will.  The wings allow for full flight capabilities.

Ability Points Cost: 110AP

So, I like the flow. The abilities are nice. But you never described what I wanted to see. A few points for you:

• Nyx was a protogenoi, so she was an element. I don't see any actual element. Her night was supposed to be as thin as the air itself, but denser than any metal or stone. This may be important for offense and defense. Blades and armor.

• Nyx, her abilities, her personality, her children, and all other possible details were inspired by the personification of not just normal night, but the fear of night. With that in mind, I have seen no aspect of fear mentioned. That depresses me. Fears include many of the children, but also specific fears and fear itself.

• Nyx's night was infinitely vast and dark, but it was not void like darkness. It was infinitely vast and therefor could seem so, but it had substance. If it didn't, its borders on Chaos would have fallen and she would have fallen victim to destruction and reconstruction. I have seen nothing using this to your advantage; neither the indefinite struture that is night, nor the influence of Chaos upon her realm was referenced. Chaos supposedly helped shape darkness into terrors beyond imgination, but also unto knowledge, destruction, and creation. Some versions of her myths say she begat her children not by herself, but with Chaos.

Done ready for approval

I have not seen such a creation since the yami yami. It took a long time to grade. Everyhing is balanced enough to be allowed and is related to Nyx directly. But it is extremely powerful, as expected. And the way you structured your fruit almost makes me want to reorganize my own...



Anyway, after thought deeper and darker than night itself, I have come to the conclusion that it is worth 125AP

Rereviewed due to discrepency over ability limitations.
