Description HECATE’S PHASES


Hecate is like the moon in the way it reflects the sun - just as the moon has phases, so, too, does Hecate.


….::::….



Beast form: Wolf. While in this form, she loses her Plant/Posion abilities and gains Alpha Aura: Canines are drawn to her and are unable to attack her -  wolves and "below" as an absolute, but Higher Willed beings can feel it and choose to ignore it. She also has a calming effect on any under the affect of Lycanthropy or similar curses.




Powers:


Magic Manipulation: She can channel an ally's magic through herself to strengthen their abilities or halt an enemy's magic flow to neutralize them.


Plant and Poison Knowledge: She uses her knowledge to craft spells and create potions.


Moon's Radiance: During the night, she can wield Moon Light and is much stronger. It is also what allows her to take on a wolf form. She cannot transform during the day.


 Necromantic Affinity:  She has protection from spirits and can raise non gods/humans/spirits/etc from death if they died within 24 hours (within the next nightfall).



Full Moon: Hecate becomes fully and completely white haired. She is honest (perhaps brutally so) and literal. Subtle messages and emotions escape her. She is blunt but also ignorant while like this, and some have called it her “Justice Phase”. This phase has the highest Defense and the lowest physical offense, although her magic powers are not to be ignored, as her manipulation of light comes easiest to her during this time.


Waning Gibbous: When The moon is almost full, but not quite, Hecate's hair takes on a delicate but warm yellow, which reflects her bubbly personality at this time. She is easily entertained and very friendly, unlike her paler haired days. She is bold and courageous, but also slightly childish, gaining as much adoration and attention as she can while like this. She represents the fullness not of the current moment, but of the future. 


Half (“Quarter”): During this phase, Hecate becomes distant, indifferent, and somewhat blank. It’s not that she’s apathetic (…okay maybe a little) she just can’t choose, is all. Every point is valid to some extent, so why bother choosing just one? She tends to go with the flow in this form, but it is a note to both ally and potential enemy that dispassion does not mean lazy - in fact, it may be argued that this is her strongest form, being balanced equally. 


Waning Crescent: This is when Hecate becomes the mischievous Trickster moon. She loses some of her attack potential but more than gains it in magic stat. She switches from one whom aids the weak to one who targets the strong. It is an important distinction. She is vindictive and selfish like this, perfectly content with driving others away. During this phase, she calls no pack to her when she transforms, and her wolf becomes more fox-like. That being said, she can grant boons to the innocent - if they show her a penchant for fun.


New Moon: Hecate turns somewhat grim and can be spiteful in this form. She is just as serious as during the full moon (if not more), but she is somber and melancholy. This form is called “Lady of the veil”, for it is believed that this form is the one that mourns all that was lost to death and pain. Her abilities are extremely heightened in this form - especially that to undo death - but her stats take a slight drop from it, stagnating at average. She is not known to fight during this phase, instead seeking her own solitude. A wise friend would know company, though not sought, would do her well during this time.



Kind Crescent/Waning Gibbous (Rare): Sometimes when the moon is losing a formerly dominant side (waning), Hecate's decision making abilities get jumbled and she becomes shy and introverted, reflecting the sudden change of ideals and inability to choose. She's taken to becoming quite scarce at this time because she is easily embarrassed while in this state, and she generally assumes she's a bother. She likes to watch from afar, but only when she knows no one is aware. Her offensive abilities are severely lacking, but that does not mean she cannot become a problem to enemies in a fight. Provided she has someone else to the main hitting while she buffs them and hinders others. Not that she would willingly fight in this form - she has been known to flee battles halfway through a fight in this form (the only form that this would happen in). She only permits her closest friends to see her during this time.

Rare Forms


Blue Moon: Hecate becomes the Mother incarnate, losing much of her physical strength and gaining a new stat called “Wisdom”. It is while she is in this form to come to her about any problems or advice. She does not battle while in this form, so I guess if you wanted to attack her or those whom she protects, you could try that too.


Blood Moon: The phrase “once in a blue moon” means rare, but the blood moon is infinitely rarer. Hecate becomes the all-fearful Goddess of wrath and destruction during this time. She loses her defense stat and gains exponential magic and physical powers. It is best not to give her a reason to attack. She is useless for any non-battle related issues (unless, of course, you need someone intimidating).

In case I take too long to make a full on color chart. This is subject to editing, I typed it all up right now.
