Mythical Powers

Mythical Relics/Upgrades - these are magic given to him by the gods of war who trained him to become a warrior, acting as his counterpart to the Archon Program's more mundane and medical-based augmentations.

  • Barangaw's Light - from the Visayan god of war and of the rainbow (symbolizing victory), Barangaw's light is similar to the bridge the Aesir call the Bifrost. This blessing allows him precognitive abilities, able to predict his opponent's next move and even learn their movement patterns and copy their techniques himself. This light allows Troy to channel this same bridge later on as Lakan with the use of his magical kampilan sword, allowing himself and others to travel the cosmos instantly. Takes form of tattoos on his collar.
  • Sinukuan's Guidance - from the Kapampangan god/goddess Aring Sinukuan. Grants Troy protection from curses, manipulations of any form (like reality warping, time-space manipulations etc.), bad luck, and instant-death attacks. Takes form of tattoo on his shoulders.
  • Talagbusao's Bloodlust - From the Bukidnon war god, this grants Troy a significant temporary boost in his superhuman physical attributes that help him in combat against enemies far above him in raw power. Takes the form of tattoos on his upper arms.
  • Ynaguinid's Poison - From the Ilonggo goddess of war, Ynaguinid's blessing that protects Troy against poisons and diseases of any form - be it physical or magical. It shields him from mental control as well, be it hypnotic or psionic. Takes the form of tattoos on the back of his neck.
  • Darago's Rage - From the Bagobo god of war, fused with the spirit of his consort and fellow war god Mandaragan. Grants all his weapons an enhanced damage ability in the form of primordial volcanic heat imbued upon them, allowing him to hurt invulnerable or intangible targets, higher-dimensional entities, or melt through any form of defenses. Combined with his Warskin power armor, this blessing grants Troy the ability to temporarily emit nuclear pulses, emit heat strong enough to melt virtually everything around him - from concrete to steel buildings, and even magical constructs. He can release this energy through omnidirectional pulses. Takes the form of tattoo on his back.
  • The Hipag's Cunning - A ferocious god of the Ifugao people, taking the form of a wiry old man. The Hipag's ability grants enhanced reflexes/reaction time along with the ability to move around quick enough to keep up with superhuman speedsters. Takes the form of tattoos on his thighs.
  • Makanduk's Plunder - Allows him access to a pocket dimension where he can store mythical weapons and other objects of magical property. He can summon them to his hands or rain them down like projectiles. He eventually can generate copies of melee weapons just by looking at it. Takes the form of tattoos on his right forearm.
  • The Pamdiya's Shields - Manobo war deities who can be summoned to shield him from powerful offensive attacks, providing an automatic absolute defensive shield that can protect him even from dimensional and conceptual attacks. Takes the form of a tattoo on his left forearm.
  • Apolaki's Lament - The Tagalog sun god and the leader of the war god faction, Apolaki inherited some of his father Bathala's supreme deity powers. This grants him the ability to command and summon the mythical Celestial Eaters like Bakunawa, Minokawa, Tambanokawa etc. to even the cosmic serpent Naga. Takes the form of tattoos on his chest.


  • As Lakan:

  • "Pahimakas" Kampilan Sword: much how like Thor has Mjolnir, Indra his bow, and Perun his axe; Pahimakas is a sword worthy of a god-king, this kampilan sword is forged for Troy when he ascends to the throne. It was more than sufficient enough that he no longer needs his armor, guns, and old blades after acquiring this sword. The sword can induce or inflict death upon anything and anyone; whether they be concepts, immortals, and even those without the concept of it. Will not bring this ability up in RP without discussion.

  • The Skyfathers' Might - The ultimate blessing that he receives later in life, coming from the previous title holders of Lakan and the leaders of the many Filipino pantheons. This is the blessing that made Troy a god-king, ascending from a human existence and granting him near-omnipotent powers. Takes the form of red accents on each of his tattoos. Will not bring this ability up in RP without discussion. My default "canon point" for his is prior to getting this anyway.
