Essences Used: Tony Stark+/Tinker Of Imagination/Eternal/Blank
Essence Of Tony Stark+:
By drinking this Essence tasting suspiciously of metal and alcohol, you become the successor to a rich genius playboy turned knight for the modern day: Tony Stark, better known as the Invincible Iron Man.
To begin with, you possess a number of boons, to give you a nice foundation to start from and cover any potential gaps you might have.
Your possibilities and potential are boundless. You can acquire proficiency in any field or skill, even if conventional expectations suggest otherwise because you are that badass. You can learn any discipline or skill set (even if you aren't capable of it) without forgetting it and practice it into mastery, no matter how much you learn. There is no risk of forgetting what you learn, and you can effortlessly hone your skills to mastery, regardless of the quantity. Any talents derived from this Essence (as well as any others) and power acquired will be enhanced and evolve beyond their original functions.
This Essence (and anything derived from it) can't be destroyed, erased, forcibly changed, or stolen. Any items granted by this essence are bound to you and can't be hacked no matter who tries and unbreakable and new items your own, craft or create now benefit from this. Any mental, physical, or spiritual ailments that plague you will be completely cured upon drinking this essence. You are immune to negative body, soul, and mind manipulations and your powers can't be drained, suppressed, stolen, copied, pierced, bypassed, or altered without your completely willing participation. Even sentient sources of power cannot take their power back from you or hamper your progress. Your powers are your own. Whatever weakness your powers or abilities have are now non-existent. This will also apply to new powers or innate abilities. So, if you somehow get the powers of a Kryptonian, you won't have to worry about that dreaded green rock or red sunlight.
You gain a free age and appearance changes to whatever you want. Your new body sits at 10x the peak of your species affecting all aspects of the body, mind and soul attributes such as Strength, Speed, Charisma, Intelligence etc. Combined with your boundless potential all aspects of your person can continuously grow stronger with no limits. You are now biologically immortal, no longer aging when you reach your prime. You may choose to look like your old self or look like someone completely different, in either choice your features will be enhanced to peak handsomeness. Essentially making you into a walking wet dream. Should your race change, you will become 10x the peak of our new race. Should you partake of super serums or magical elixirs they will provide 10x the benefit. You cannot be cloned by anyone unless you permit it and your genetic information is locked, this applies to your descendants as well and will never weaken. Your natural limiter, the factor that dictates that all beings can only grow their strength to a certain level, has been entirely broken and removed. This doesn't just apply to your physical strength but to all aspects of your being, whether physical, mental, spiritual, etc., and applies to all abilities, powers, skills, etc. you may come to possess. Your body has been released from the constraints of normal logic - your muscles no longer dictate how much you can lift, the size of your brain no longer limits how much information it can store or how rapidly it can process things, etc. Given sufficient time or effort there is no barrier you cannot pass, no level of opposition you cannot surmount. Even when doing absolutely nothing you still passively grow your power, surpassing each previous day's version of you by a small increment. This rate of growth continuously increases exponentially whenever you are training or practicing your abilities or are even slightly challenged by any opposition. You are entirely immune to the "world of cardboard" problem and may always perfectly restrain yourself to precisely the limit that you wish to exert yourself and not more. You cannot be sealed or imprisoned under any circumstances, and any attempts to do so will either backfire spectacularly, or be so phenomenally easy to undo they might as well not exist at all.
You have a scientific mind that grants you a beyond genius-level intellect and a perfect memory with infinite storage, capable of calculating and processing things faster than quantum supercomputers. You gain Immunity to insanity and memetic hazards. Your mind is a bulwark of the highest order, it is impossible to affect it negatively in any manner. No matter what force is used against you or what stimuli you experience, you can never be driven insane, mentally broken, brainwashed, corrupted, controlled or otherwise inflicted with a permanent mental imbalance. Additionally, you will instantly become aware of any attempt to read your mind or sense your emotions, all such attempts regardless of how sophisticated, powerful, and unbeatable they may will fail outright, unless you choose to create false thoughts, feelings and memories which will show anyone attempting to mentally scan you exactly what you want them to see. You can accelerate and form multiple independent thought processes, though how much/many completely depends on you. You can obtain the knowledge and information from any data storage device or book just by touching it and this effect can be turned on and off. You can also repair things easily and build them to last. Things you build are black-boxed and are loyal to you. Nothing can make them go against you and they will remain loyal to you and your goals.
Your diligence, patience, and willpower are limitless, making you significantly more driven and motivated, no matter what hardships you face you will always persevere. Furthermore, you are also purged of excessive indolence and procrastination. While you still value relaxing and chilling out, you won't put something off if it's important. You are no longer affected by boredom and can find satisfaction in anything you do without losing motivation. The passing of time has no negative effect on your mental health, and you will never experience ennui from doing the same thing repeatedly. You are able to enjoy life to the fullest no matter what.
You are not bound by fate, prophecy, karma, or anything else of such nature. Your destiny is your own, and no number of curses or prophecies can decide the course of your life. Additionally, you do not register to someone with foresight, clairvoyance, or other similar abilities any predictions that are made will be made without taking you into account, if you are targeted directly all that the observer will see is static.
You are immune to reality and time-warping effects, such as time loops, time locks, being retroactively erased in a paradox due to someone killing your mother when she's pregnant with you, etc. This doesn't mean that you can't willingly stay in a time loop or time lock, only that you can't be trapped in one, and that the effects of the paradox can't negatively affect you in any way.
You have a way with the people you are attracted to. You and your partners have unlimited sexual stamina and will stop only if you want. You and your partners will never get bored of sex. You have the sexual skills of a sex deity and porn logic (Including making sure your harem manages to get along since that can be classed under porn logic), as well as NTR protection. No ugly bastard is blackmailing your babes to sleep with them, no yellowhead bastard will try to make a move on your babes, and should they attempt to, fate itself will move to make sure they suffer. This also comes with a fertility control toggle, which can be turned down to zero which means no chance of kids no matter how fertile the other partner, no matter what magic ritual or something else is used. Turn it up to 100 and you will be able to make anyone have a child no matter what the odds are, go ahead and make someone barren pregnant. Don't question how it's possible, it just is.
You possess powerful charisma and charm, being capable of talking just about anyone to enter a relationship, or just into a bed, with you. You can easily ignite love and other tender emotions in the heart of even the most frigid or repressed individual. What's more, you'll find that your hooks are extremely hard to remove, and it would take extreme abuse for a prolonged period before you see the figurative spell you weave begin to falter.
You benefit from relaxed or even completely altered physics where sex is concerned. Improbable insertions, cervical orgasms, erogenous zones where there were none before, ludicrous cum, selective fertility/virility, non-existent STDs, etc. Whatever you want and can justify to yourself will fall under here.
You won't ever get bored of sex or burn yourself out from too much of a good thing.
You are incredibly attractive and your body is an almost horrifying instrument of sexual prowess. You have delicious, stimulating and almost addictive fluids, a pleasant and arousing scent, a voice that will make your paramours weak in the knees and more.
Your talents in the bedroom are outright supernatural, as is your stamina and endurance. You could ruin your partners forever, though you will always feel satisfied when you decide to stop, and can reduce a frigid ice queen to a drooling mess with just your body. Actually applying your incredible skill will see far greater results.
You have the ability to control whether your designs are easily reproducible or completely blackboxed, or anything in between. You can also make it so that some can understand and study your tech while others cannot. You can both give and take away the ability to understand your tech should you want to, and this can be done anytime.
None of your technology can be successfully corrupted or subverted by another force unless you build or modify it to possess such a weakness. So you don't need to worry about building the next Skynet if you build an artificial intelligence, for example.
You will overtime gain the composite knowledge, skills, & other abilities of every iteration of Tony Stark from the entire Marvel Multiverse past & present. This includes "normal" Tony Starks (like from the MCU or Earth-616), but also irregular variants like the one who became Ant-Man, the Stark who was named Sorcerer Supreme, and even the Amaglam known as Iron Lantern. This composite also extends to anyone who has taken up the mantle of Iron Man or a similar identity, such as James Rhodes, Pepper Potts, Nathaniel Richards, and Victor Von Doom, to name a few.
Much like Tony Stark, you are a Super-genius. Tony is a mechanical engineering prodigy and one of the most intelligent people on Earth, if not the entire Marvel universe. Eternity, one of the most powerful cosmic entities Marvel has ever seen, has called him the world's greatest engineer, and fellow genius hero Reed Richards has deemed him as the world's best multitasker. Tony is capable of great creativity and innovation, even while in the heat of battle, coming up with incredible tactics and maneuvers even though his armor might be compromised. As an example of his prowess, he is able to intuit the future based on current trends and can use this on a smaller scale to predict the way an interaction with a person can go. You now have this same level of genius as a part of you, without the drawbacks that should come with it. That means your intelligence will not hamper your social skills and abilities, you won't find relating or explaining to others to be a chore, and you will never become bored (to name a few nullified drawbacks).
Optionally, this comes with any number of degrees, licenses, and certifications (and the education, knowledge, and experience needed for them) that you wish to have, fiat backed to be valid for you in any universe you exist in. This also means that you will be similarly acknowledged even if your current setting doesn't have the same education/knowledge structure (IE, being a trained medical practitioner will have you be recognized as a healer in medieval worlds and the like). Moreover, you never have to renew any certifications or clearances. Yes, this includes driver's licenses.
Optionally, you receive fiat backed multiversal identification, so you don't have to worry about a lack of history upon entering new worlds. The background and information in this identification will match your preferences and abilities. So, if you learn eldritch magic and go into the world of Harry Potter, your new background in that world would be a wizard. Moreover, your identification will shift into a form acceptable for the world(s) you are currently in, so you don't have to worry about confusing the local cavemen with your shiny holoID.
Just like Tony, you are an engineer second to none. And, as an engineer, you are possibly the greatest problem solver to ever live. You are capable of fixing (and even improving) any machinery, inventing any device, hacking any system…..given enough time, there is no problem you cannot solve. This even includes such odd problems like permanently stopping a bird shaped conceptual entity of life and renewal, or depowering an omnipotent despot hellbent on recreating existence in the shape he pleases. Yes, this means you can even manage to kill things that should be absolutely immortal and unkillable.
You are also capable of immense production capabilities, to the point where making a Dyson Sphere around the sun within a couple of years is more than doable, to say nothing of what you can do if you actually try.
You are a master businessman, bar none. You are a master at accounting, business forecasting, economics, efficiency, management, motivation, paperwork, legal work, and all of the other skills and abilities that might even be vaguely related to the field of business or running a company/organization. You can make a humble one-man start-up into a Megacorp that dominates the entire world, and even beyond, in just a few short years. You can command the attention of people when you speak, earn the unbreakable and undying loyalty for anyone working for you. Even spies or those with every reason to betray you will slowly find themselves becoming loyal to you and your visions because you're just that good. No one who works for you will ever betray you for a cheap cash grab or a misplaced vendetta. Whatever path you pick in the business world, it'll be a cake walk for you.
You are extremely politically and legally savvy, to the point where you can easily become the President or something similar without relying on any cheating or other tricks. Legally operating as a superhero or leading an entire organization of superheroes is well within your capabilities.
You are perfectly capable of hiding your secret identity, should you wish to avoid being unmasked. All evidence pointing toward you and a hero being one in the same is dismissed as circumstantial if it's even addressed at all, no one will notice if your funds are being used to secretly construct a secret base in orbit, and so on and so forth. To put it bluntly, your very identity is completely hidden from any scrutiny or prying that you do not allow.
You are a master tactician and can quickly formulate battle strategies and new plans if the situation changes. You can very quickly come up with plans to defeat enemies in different situations. Tony once simultaneously put Reed Richards in check on five different chess boards. And now, so can you.
Tony is an expert combatant, having received training from masters of combat like Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther, Shang-Chi, and more. Just like him, you are more than capable of holding your own even without any methods to support your strength and power, even against much stronger beings. You also get all of the experience and instinct that Tony has with using this training.
Additionally, Tony is a skilled swordsman and marksman. He can handle the firearms he creates, is a deft hand with a blade, and is a phenomenal shot with his various repulsors and other ranged tools. These skills are now yours and can obviously be improved upon.
Just like Tony, you are now multilingual, able to communicate in a number of languages fluently, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian, and Korean, to name just a few. You also know several middle eastern languages including Urdu.
At some point Tony was attacked by Mallen, a man enhanced with the Extremis super-serum, leading Tony to take the serum himself in order to heal his broken body and grant him the edge he needed. And so, you possess your own enhanced Extremis modifications. In general, this serum could be considered an equal to the Super Soldier Serum and Heart Shaped Herb, even leaving out its other benefits. In terms of other benefits? Extremis grants you the ability to communicate with and control any sort of technology, superhuman agility and reflexes, a regenerative healing factor on par with Wolverine, superhuman endurance, significantly enhanced brain function, a modified physiology far more efficient and healthy than the average person, the power to heat up your body to incredible temperatures and spew fire, the ability to survive in any environment without food, water, or air, superhuman strength, and potentially even immortality (just to name a few). Tony has even used his Extremis to store nanoparticle components of his suits (and even his entire suit) within his bones. As an added benefit, your Extremis and the enhancements it brings is completely immune to any outside tampering or influence.
As an additional benefit, while your augmentations are inviolate, you are perfectly capable of being healed with techniques and technologies meant for "normal" humans. Moreover, your augmented physiology will cause no issues for yourself or your health.
None of your technology can be successfully corrupted or subverted by another force unless you build or modify it to possess such a weakness.
You now have the ability and know how to make biological enhancements to yourself and other human beings. This includes knowledge on how to accurately and efficiently augment the human body in a variety of ways (including a number of super serums and empowerment methods), as well as knowledge on biological and genetic anomalies like the X-Gene. With time and research, you can apply this knowledge to other species.
You have a pair of superpowers that Tony would probably kill to have:
You are socially and interpersonally competent, and will not make enemies and adversaries of others through careless actions or mistakes. Only constant willful effort to antagonize someone will get them to hate you, and you are perfectly capable of defusing the situation and having them become a strong ally. You are also remarkably capable of gaining the complete forgiveness and trust of others whose lives you have utterly ruined, so long as you make some token effort of guilt and repentance.
You are immune to the negative effects of all sorts of illicit and altering substances, including narcotics, alcohol, and more. You are fundamentally incapable of becoming addicted or addled, and will because to guzzle down alcohol like it's water without any effects.
You now have access to a database holding all the technologies and innovations of Tony Stark, his company, and more from across the various Marvel continuities. From the R.T node to his various armors, his notes on A.I., the Arc Reactor, StarkWare, Jericho missiles and far more….you have a database of it. This also extends to everything relating to the other individuals from the composite. This database is extremely intuitive and easy to use, will update based on the setting(s) you find yourself in, and possesses the ability to combine its data to produce new developments and more effective designs. You are also able to understand and recreate anything in the database. Moreover, nothing in this database can harm you, not even memetic information. Should you lose it or have it be destroyed, you can summon a fresh copy to you at any time.
This also comes with a replenishing supply of materials with mundane materials restocking hourly, though more rare or exotic materials may take a week or up to a month depending on said material. You have 15 tons of each material which are kept in a pocket dimension that can't be breached by anything, being, or force. You may also use this dimension as an inventory. Everything you make is completely Black-boxed and immune to outside tampering and study. You know how to add and remove the Black-boxes.
Building off this, everything you create will work exactly as you intend it to, and nothing you make can be used against or otherwise go against you, so you do not have to worry about your armor becoming sentient, or your AI being overcome with daddy issues. For AI and other sentient beings specifically, they will be completely loyal and irrevocably obedient to you above all.
Of course, you can't be a passable Tony Stark if you don't have the thing that helped etch him into the hearts and minds of his world and worlds beyond: your own suit of Iron Man Armor. You are able to freely create your own armor, be it a copy of a canon armor, an idealized combination of all of Tony's various armors, or whatever else you desire.
Additionally, you possess your own Badassium-core Arc Reactor, a powerful self-sustaining energy supply. In your case, your Arc Reactor is a true perpetual motion machine, capable of supplying an infinite amount of energy. You have all the knowledge and ability to create even more of these Arc Reactors, and can even improve upon their designs.
To say Tony Stark is rich is a laughable understatement. To say he has more money than God is a bit more accurate. You now have 50 billion dollars (or equivalent) that is kept in an interdimensional bank account in your name. It comes with a platinum card and infinite cheque book linked to an untraceable account and, should you have a phone, the account has an app as well with a function to auto invest your funds for you. Using these items at any ATM, bank, or similar service will not raise questions or suspicions and will be available in any world you travel to. Should the card or cheque book be lost or stolen they will return it to you as soon as needed. No one can access or use these items without your permission.
You can spend however much you like without worrying about the economy crashing with how much money is being circulated into it. It will instead help it, and no one will question where the extra money is coming from. The extra money will sort itself out after a couple of weeks, after ten you can make it disappear without negatively affecting anyone or hurting the economy, only ever bringing positive effects. No one will question or investigate where you are getting your money from or how you are buying your things. You could buy entire companies, and no one will care or investigate it. You won't have to worry about the IRS or other government agency that deals with money and taxes. They will never investigate your money and will never tax you. No one will ever question you about this.
You have access to an organizer that automatically keeps track of any debt, employee pay, or bills you accumulate, or anything else you are financially responsible for, including your spending habits. You can use this organizer to pay those debts and bills in full instantly with your account funds, without having to mail or pay online directly and you'll never get catalogs or emails from people trying to get you to buy things or scam you because you have money. All payments made in this manner will be valid with the funds showing where they need to be.
You can magically exchange one form of currency you wish for another.
You can summon paperwork and other forms of ID you might need in a new world. Your paperwork will be of convincing quality and can change local sources of information to fit itself without tripping any alarms if the local tech base is advanced.
If you feel anything is missing from this Essence or should be otherwise altered…..Fanwank responsibly.
Essence of the Tinker of Imagination:
You are now a Worm kind of Tinker, without the Shard itself and instead being an innate part of you.
You will have no problem blending all of these concepts and knowledge together, even if they logically shouldn't, and making them work flawlessly in whatever setting or place you happen to be in.
You may access as much or as little of this potentially limitless Tinkering knowledge as you wish to at any time, and your memory and capacity to index all this knowledge will be perfect and without limits. You will never suffer any problems or instabilities from having access to this knowledge, even if it would normally be memetically hazardous or otherwise dangerous.
You have the same Striker/Shaker package that Shard Tinkers have, of being able to build and maintain super-tech with common materials. You can also voluntarily enter a Tinker fugue to enhance the speed, precision, and minor reality-warping of your Tinkering. Your Tinkertech will be created with whatever degree of whiteboxing, blackboxing, and/or specialized maintenance requirements that you wish.
But unlike a normal Tinker that has a certain specialty or focus, you don't have something so minuscule. No, what you have, is the ability to create any kind of technology you can imagine. You only have to think "I want to create X", or just imagine something, and you will find your power feeding you the knowledge of how to make it. This allows you to create anything you want as long as you can imagine it and it has something to do with technology or science, even things from fiction.
Say you want to make an energy generator the size of a button that produces infinite energy, then your power will not only show you exactly how you make it, but will also guide you in creating it, sometimes entering a fugue state during the process. It will also guide you so that anything you create will fit whomever or whatever you create it for, or anything similar that allows you to actually use the technology how you intended.
You only have to imagine the technology/science, you don't have to know how it works. And if the idea is not physically or realistically possible, your power will still guide you in how to succeed in creating it, imbuing it with a reality bending effect to make it work. No piece of technology or anything from the hard sciences are beyond you, from Time travel to cybernetics to cloning to interplanetary energy systems to Dyson Spheres. As long as you can imagine it and it is based in technology/science, you can make it.
If you wish to fix flaws you find in the original design, your power will help you by feeding you the solution and helping you change the design so that whatever you don't want to happen won't happen. It will also help you prevent possible flaws in tech you create that could have unforeseen consequences, feeding you the information on what the consequences might be. Not only that, your ability also helps you improve upon anything you build, allowing you to endlessly improve your technology.
You are able to instantly understand and reverse engineer any form of technology and science you come across, should you want to.
If you have a form of magic, you are also able to create Magitech.
You are able to create machines that will help you in creating your tinkertech. This can be drones that will automatically create large constructs you upload the blueprints for, or it can be entire factories that can mass produce anything you want. Any machine you create to help you tinker will be able to conjure anything they need to create the technology, from metals to plants and anything else.
You have the ability to control whether your designs are easily reproducible or completely blackboxed, or anything in between. You can also make it so that some can understand and study your tech while others cannot. You can both give and take away the ability to understand your tech should you want to, and this can be done anytime.
You are able to conjure anything you need for your tinkertech, but anything you conjure can only be used for whatever you are creating. And it can only be in parts, as you cannot conjure finished pieces. This means you cannot conjure a finished Drone, but you can conjure a finished battery that the drone needs, unless you want a special battery, in which case you need to make it yourself. You don't have to make every part yourself from scratch, you just can't instantly create your creations. You have to assemble them yourself.
Essence of The Eternal (original by Wanderer):
This Essence looks like your favorite beverage and tastes truly delicious.
You are eternal and invincible on a metaphysical level. You exist beyond space, time, causality and are immune to harm from all sources, even those of a metaphysical, abstract or conceptual nature. You cannot be killed, nor can you die or be destroyed, by any means at all.
You possess eternal agency, being impossible to bind, entrap or ensnare. Your will and sense of self cannot be altered or manipulated. Your will cannot be compromised by any kind of direct or indirect manipulation, restraint, influence, temptation or irrationality of any kind. Even should all of existence be compromised, you will continue to exist in spite of this. If you choose, you may choose to become unaware of yourself and the passage of time until existence resumes once more.
As an eternal being, you have absolute freedom from all Authorities and Wills, your self is absolutely inviolate. You are the only version of yourself that exists or ever will exist. You are completely immune to all esoteric effects such as time paradoxes, reality manipulation or revision, existence erasure or similar things.
You suffer no negative side effects as a result of your eternal life. Things like boredom, apathy, depression and mental instability caused by immortality will not affect you. Should you choose so, you may pass on from this life to an afterlife of your choosing and you may return back to life at any time you choose. You may choose to be reincarnated into a life tailored to your preferences. The specifics of this life are up to you.
You are eternally in your prime. You do not age, your body and mind are in perfect condition and your memory is limitless and records everything perfectly. You will never have any issues remembering or recalling information.
Any of your powers, skills, and abilities can never be drained, reduced, copied, cloned, or otherwise limited in any form or fashion unless you will it so.
This Essence (alongside other essences) cannot be altered, manipulated, copied or replicated, nor can it be removed, negated, nullified or erased by any force. Even those who possess limitless reality warping power or true omnipotence cannot disrupt this Essence.
Any Essences or powers you acquire that are similar to this Essence seamlessly combine with this one.
Essence of the Blank
By taking this essence, you gain but one benefit:
Your potential becomes limitless. You can learn any discipline or skill set, even if you aren't capable of it, without forgetting it and practicing it into mastery, no matter how much you learn. Any abilities you have from other Essences will increase where possible and develop in ways beyond their initial purposes.
These powers and skills can never be stolen, given away, blocked, drained, copied, cloned, manipulated, or taken.
