ACTIVITY REWARDS
Aug. 13th, 2017 12:39 amCOLOR CHANGING HAIR
Lola's first boon was a coupon to have a minor bit of cosmetic surgery done, once finished Lola's hair can change color based on what Lola wants it to be. Any color Lola can picture, Lola can make her hair. And if she wants to she can touch specific sections of her hair so only those become certain colors. With the right time and mental fortitude she can do whatever she wants.
There are a few caveats, certain atmospheric conditions (the acid rain that happened, for instance) will mess with her hair. As will anything that influences Lola's focus (drugs, psychic intrusion), and if she's unconscious her hair just turns flat out white. It stays that way till she wakes up and decides on a hair color for herself. And of course if her focus drifts sometimes the receptor will think she wants a new hair color and change it for her.
Lola's hair is as flighty and ditsy as she is.

SUPPORT ABILITIES
Current: Level 1
Lola gains the ability to 'help' someone near her, by making them regenerate injuries (HP Regen) and remove fatigue (MP/Stamina/Whatever Regen), the latter allows for a cooler head, calmer thinking, and all around being a bit better at things.
However Lola needs to be able to see them to start the buff and then they need to remain within 20 meters of her or it'll break. Lola also needs to keep a level of mental focus on her target to keep the connection going. So there's a constant drain on her even if nothing's happening (more drain at higher levels), the same way that it's stressful to keep thinking about something for extended periods. More if Lola has to, you know, avoid monsters while doing it.
Whoever she's targeted will feel like they aren't alone, that someone is watching out for them. So they would notice if Lola's bond breaks because Lola got distracted, knocked unconscious, or moved outside of range. The bonus also extends to wearable gear (costumes, mechs, prosthetic arms) on the person.

- Level 1: Low level constant recovery to a single target. Bruises, cuts, and scrapes heal as they happen. Diminishes blood loss. Costumes and mechanical gear will seem to have suffered less wear, and small dents will recover. Generally feel like you had some rest and something to eat (even if you haven't).
- Level 2 - Burst Heal: Allows for a sudden burst of energy, causing a single moment of greater recovery. Decreases effects from poisons, toxins, and magical status effects. Feels like a sudden shot of expresso (without any jittery side effects) and like you just had a decent nap. Small cuts in costumes and small knicks to armor 'heal.' Each burst takes a bit out of Lola so she can't do it more than two or three times without a meal and a nap.
- Level 3: Low level upgrades to 'mid level.' Wound recovery includes greater blood regeneration and removal of muscle fatigue, wounds recovered won't scar as much, and it gives your hair a nice healthy shine after a few minutes. Mental recovery it's like having a nice meal, an hour with an enjoyable hobby, and a decent nap. Her Burst Heal can set and knit bones together, and completely refresh someone. Of course this added recovery costs Lola a bit more to use, but nothing is without cost, right?
- Level 4: Anyone she targets with supernatural or otherworldly powers find those are stronger and more effective. Magic spells cast faster, super strength is stronger. Flying faster, able to swing from more webs? The point is her buffs now do things to active abilities. Each time you use one of those abilities Lola feels a little bit more drained. Generally at a 1/100th of what her target gives for them. But that can really take its toll if you use your powers a lot.
- Level 5: Range increase to 30 meters and Lola isn't as drained by doing anything with her powers. It's still stressful, but she can manage to hold links for longer and it doesn't require as much mental or physical energy on her part, everything just costs a little less all around.
DEMOLITION DANCERS
A pair of cute white mid-shin boots adorned with pink spinel gemstones. They release a concussive force of mana out of the bottom (the part of the boot that don’t touch the ground due to the inch and a half of heel). While this force can be used for a rather surprising blast to a monster’s exposed weak spot, the primary purpose is jumping. The boots release a single burst of force, although a smaller burst might be needed to deal with certain issues.
When used to jump it can launch the user about eight feet in the air at its least attuned, and up to eighty feet when the user knows what they’re up to and have the mana to keep using them. ...however coming back down from such a leap leads to some complications. Which is why knowing how to use smaller bursts to land is good, falling damage sucks. No matter what, however, these blasts cannot be used to fly, gravity is a harsh mistress that way. There is a little wiggle room for falling with style, deciding where you crash, and leaping off falling debris or cliff sides to scale higher than a single bound can manage.
If you’re using this force to hammer on a monster, physics has some words about equal and opposite reaction, so be mindful of what’s behind you when you drop kick some fool. Or make it like a Mario game and stomp the critter’s head like a goomba, that works best.

LOLA'S MOTORCYCLE
While not an Activity Reward, Lola purchased herself a motorcycle for Christmas. It's a pod-shaped three tired beast that transforms from open air to enclosed vehicle. It's a bit snug, but can seat two people in either mode. It's better for transporting purchased items when it's in pod form. But it's still a motorcycle, so it isn't a lot of space.

LOLA'S CANTINA
Lola's father's restaurant formerly found in downtown Toronto, but ended up in the Quarantine for Lola to find. It's a small family run eatery offering mexican food. In spite of this rather obvious detail, Lola and her father insist it is an Argentinian restaurant because they own it.
The entire establishment has a design you'd expect of something Lola would find suitable, the walls are brightly colored and covered in candy skulls. There's also a portrait of Lola on the patio. Because. Lola's dad doesn't spoiler her at all.
