Gifts:
Breath of Aphrodite (Level 2)*:
You’ve inhaled the glorious breath of your beautiful patron Goddess. Your fortune knows no bounds! As a result, you’ve been given the ability to increase a being’s arousal with nothing more than a touch. It will act as an aphrodisiac, greatly enhancing your target's level of desire and Lust, causing them to immediately turn to sexual thoughts, interpretations or fantasies. The general biological responses to arousal are also activated. Through your Goddess’ blessing, the effect of the Gift has grown stronger, and now it will last for a longer duration. You can use the Gift 2*(Virility)/day, and requires physical contact with the target in order to be used. Your Virility will always reset at midnight.

Shroud of Aphrodite (Level 1)*:
The glorious Aphrodite is always watching, but rarely seen. You’ve been given a fraction of this ability of hers. The Shroud of Aphrodite will allow you to target a specific area of no more than 1x1 meters, in which any surrounding people won’t notice you or anyone you brought with you inside of it. Beware, you won’t be invisible in the literal sense! Any curious eyes just won’t pay any attention to you and your presence won’t register unless you do something truly spectacular to pull their focus toward you, such as showing obvious intention of threatening their existence. Or singing.
You can raise a Shroud 1xVirility/day and it will remain intact for as long as you or your Follower/s remain inside it.
The effect of the Gift depends on its current level, and it can be upgraded through recurring usage. The countdown of the Gift will reset at midnight.

Aura (Level 1)*:
Your presence now has a divine glow. People will feel a slight increase in arousal, as well as a slight decrease in inhibitions and resistance, from actions stemming from you as well as your followers. The effect of this Aura depends on its current level and can be upgraded through leveling. The current range of the Aura is 5 meters around you, and can affect any number of people.

Millia, Nymph of the Forest (Level 2):
Rebellious daughter of Aphrodite herself, she’s spent her five centuries of existence in stubborn refusal to heed her Mother’s commands. When her siblings got Claimed, moving to an exciting life of dedication to a worthy master or mistress, Millia refused to even let a man or woman touch her, fighting them off or just hiding until they lost interest.

She’s now been forcefully granted to Jack Temple, Aphrodite’s Champion, who wears her Pendant of Amber, which grants him a certain Hold of her. She’s **** to stay within a few hundred feet of him, can’t leave an area he’s commanded her to stay within, and he’s got the ability to Fasten any parts of her body to two points of contact against any material surface.

However, until she’s been claimed, she can’t be considered Claimed, and is therefore limited in powers and strength. Once she’s been claimed, however, a bond will form between her and her claimant, granting passive abilities to both of them, as well as locking up her road of advancement within the Nymph of the Forest-path.

Forest Whisper (Level 2):

Millia is blessed with the ability to hear the voices of the trees. She can use this to her advantage, gaining information about her surroundings and any people within them. She will also be able to communicate with the trees, asking them for assistance in various tasks, even providing protection and support during combat. However, be aware that not all trees are friendly, and some might demand payment in exchange for their help.

* * *

Seducer’s Aura (Locked): Ability locked until Claimed in full.

* * *

Body of a Nymph (Level 1):
A nymph’s body is not like that of a mortal. It is stronger, faster, and more resilient. It is also more sensitive to pleasure, and more prone to arousal. Millia’s body has now awakened, and she is finally able to access her full potential. Her level of strength, speed, agility and stamina is now comparable to that of an Olympic athlete. She is also highly resistant to disease and infection, and will heal from injuries at an incredible rate.
