COUNTER BASED QI TEST
As the title suggests, this is the first sign-up of several for players to test our QI systems IC. For these tests, all players will receive an int boost to put them at 30, which will allow them to use, roughly, the first three tiers of QI. The Counter-Based system's format will be listed at the bottom of this post, directly below the sign-up sheet.
Upon signing up, Players will be asked to build a QI of their liking to fit the system. Please include this in your sign-up post. They can do this entirely on their own, or ask for help, but the QI you use will be a personal, and unique one. There will be rebalancing and adjustments made to some abilities, should they not fit their tier, but overall, we will be pretty lenient.
Sign-Ups:

This will be a Mayhem based Event, hard limit of 5. Character signing up who have plot reason to be on mayhem side (Shiro and possible Levi) Will not count against this limit.

QI System (Counter Based System)
Qi abilities are innate inner powers that your character can wield. These powers come in a tiered system. They can be anything from elemental type abilities, to manipulating qi energy itself. The strength of QI abilities directly correlates to the Intelligence stat. There are five advancements that a player can unlock for their QI. Requirements for the QI Level advancement and abilities will be based off of Intelligence. Typically a counter will be used to limit the usage of QI abilities.
20 INT {QI Tier – 1} [Base Qi Rank – 2] - A Tier 1 power could be a minor elemental based effect, such making a punch elemental, a +5 Bonus to 1 Stat for a single post, or +10 to a stat for a non-combat base aspect of a stat. (+10 Str for lifting ability only.)
25 INT {QI Tier – 2} [Base Qi Rank – 4] A Tier 2 power could be a improved elemental based effect, such making strong elemental punch, a +5 Bonus to couple Stats for a single post, or a +QI Rank to a stat but for one Posts.
30 INT {QI Tier – 3} [Base Qi Rank – 6] A Tier 3 power could be a improved elemental based effect, such making strong elemental punch, or multiple weaker ones, A bonus to equal to Qi Rank for post 1/2 Rank. Or +5 to 3 for one post, or +20 to a non-combat related aspect of a stat. (+20 Str for lifting ability only.)
35 INT {QI Tier – 4} [Base Qi Rank – 8] A Tier 4 power could be a improved elemental based effect, such as making multiple strong elemental attacks, A Bonus equal to QI rank to up to 2 Stats for 1/2 Qi Rank posts.
40 INT {QI Tier – 5} [Base Qi Rank – 10] A Tier 5 power could be a great elemental based effect, such as making multiple powerful elemental attacks, large blast of that element, A Bonus equal to QI rank for Qi Rank posts. A Bonus equal to double to Qi Rank for 1 post.
These levels are guideline, and maybe changed or cost more counters depending on context. Unique abilities other then these will be balance based on power.

Tier – At each new Tier a player gains access to a new ability. The higher the level the power the better it can be. The stronger the power is for the level the more counters the power may cost. (Certain powers may have a thread limit in addition to counters.)
Qi Rank – This will determine 2 things. One a player has counters equal to 2 x Qi Rank. Secondly certain powers may be based off of Qi Rank. Granting boost for post equal to Qi rank (Or a fraction of) or stat increases equal to Qi Rank (Or a faction of). Also Elemental effects and the like will be considered stronger the higher you Qi Rank. (A Player may gain Qi Rank as a extremely rare reward through events.)
Counters - These are used to pay for uses of Qi. A player has 2 x Qi Rank Counters.

QI Example (Strong Rushmore - Ralph Varlok Jr)
QI Tier 1 – Fire Punch – The character can throw a single punch covered in fire. Chaging the element of their attack and risking setting things alight. (1 Counter)
QI Tier 2 – Greater Fire Punch – The character can throw a single punch covered in fire, which burn hotter than Fire Punch. This works as Fire Punch but also add +5 to Str with that punch. (Counters 2)
QI Tier 3 – Fire Punch Combo – The character can throw a combo of fire punches, these work as Fire punch (Counters 2)
QI Tier 4 – Greater Fire Punch Combo – The character can throw a combo of punches, these work as Greater Fire Punch. (Counters 3)
QI Tier 5 – Strong Rushmore – The character throws a deadly combo of flaming fists, with deadly strength and speed that lingers. This works as Greater Fire Punch Combo, except the character gain an additional +5 STR to those attacks, and +5 DEX with those punches. The character contines to have this +5 DEX with thrown punches for 1 post equal to half QI Rank. (3 Counters, This power may only be used once per a thread.)

QI Example (Swift as Shadows)
QI Tier 1 – Shadow Dash – The character get +10 DEX, to determine running speed for 1 post (1 Counter)
QI Tier 2 – Shadow Strike – The character gets +10 DEX, to determine speed of one attack made in 1 post. (Counters 2)
QI Tier 3 – Shadow Sprint – The character gets +20 DEX, to determine running speed for 1 post. (Counters 2)
QI Tier 4 – Shift as Shadows – The character gets +10 DEX, to determine speed of all attacks in 1 post. (Counters 3)

Any opponents treat WIS as ½ to see incoming attacks or pick out locations to attack the user of this power, unless they have some means of seeing through darkness, the user also gains +5 DEX for the duration of this effect. (Night Vision Goggles, Dark Vision Base QI) (Counters 3, This Power may be used only once per a thread.
