Archetypes:
The Archetype is what amounts to a fighter’s first and biggest headline, containing the broad strokes of their place in any combat scene, and representing their brand of what they bring to a fight. Any character has only a single Archetype, which defines a significant amount of their core style and abilities, as well as informing others as to a great deal of what they’re putting on the table. The Archetype isn’t the sole decider of how a character fights, however, and every one of them is possible to play and customize in a variety of unique ways, letting any character have their own special twist on the broader specialization that first informs a reader about their style. Archetypes are publicly visible information, so that other combatants have a general idea of what it is that your character does, and what to expect.
Powerhouses:
Characters under a Powerhouse Archetype typically have a combat style that performs a specific way, very very well. Powerhouses innately have the most total capability of all Archetype classes, and are each built around a specific theme wherein they excel, but cannot assign Prime Quirks. This means that most of their power is built into the Archetype up front, allowing for Powerhouses to be easier to build, and a type of Archetype with "no wrong choices" in combat when it comes to their inherent abilities. Powerhouses are the ideal choice for making a character excel at something in a dramatic way, with a low barrier to achieving it.

Specialists
Characters under a Specialist Archetype generally have a core combat focus, but significantly more flexibility in how they go about using it, gaining the use of a new, Archetype-specific resource that lets them control how power their abilities turn by turn. Specialist Archetypes allow for more freedom in expression with greater significance on turn to turn decisions, and for more significant customization by allowing the character to equip a Prime Quirk and benefiting from many Quirks and Signatures in a more synergistic way. However, playing a Specialist Archetype expects a certain level of basic game sense, and may be unrewarding without it, and thus should be for those who are reasonably comfortable with combat mechanics and enthusiastic about customizing their character further.

Quirks:
Quirks represent the personalized form that each Archetype takes in the hands of any given character. Used in addition to a character’s core Archetype, they allow the player to create an individualized stamp that sets their character apart from others that might have the same basic strokes. A character can use multiple Quirks at a time, and change them relatively freely to best suit their state of preparation. They compound not only on the Archetype, but on each other as well. Certain Quirks are designated as Prime Quirks, which a character can equip a much more limited number of. Prime Quirks are more powerful than other Quirks, but their effectiveness will vary depended on how suited they are to the character and how well they are used, so some reasoning should be used before equipping them.
Offensive Quirks:
Offensive Quirks aid the character in dealing damage, some way or another. Stat boosts can be great for rounding out an offensively weak character, or compounding a heavy damage dealing specialist’s basic attack. Effects that change the Hit Levels of attacks can shore up, or take advantage of, accuracy gaps, and others can take advantage of the character's defensive abilities to power their offense. Flat damage boosts are a great help to characters who struggle to deal damage or generate Drive for larger attacks, and discounts to offensive Pushes help conserve Hype while keeping up offensive pressure. Dealing damage with special HP types can be gained from Quirks to augment Pushes or other features, or save Hype and room.

However, a simple mix of both offensive and defensive utilities can be found here, to maintain a balanced approach while using fewer Quirk slots, and more specific healing and various buffs and debuffs can augment or diversify a character's playstyle, as well as bring their opponent down to a manageable level.

Signatures:
A Signature is the crystallization of a character's biggest and most iconic technique, ability, or specialty, encapsulated in a powerful option that is put at the player's fingertips. Signatures are assigned and changed just like Quirks, and in one sense amount to a single "super Quirk" that further defines a character's individual uniqueness and style. Unlike Quirks, most Signatures have a manual activation, or activation component, taking a more hands-on role in the fight. Signatures are activated simply with the >signature or >sig command, the use of which is referred to as an "Activation" here for simplicity's sake. Furthermore, various other components of a character's total Mantle may provide the ability to Reinforce a Signature. Reinforcing provides a one-time powerup or refresh of the Signature's capability, in line with its main purpose. Reinforcing is a great way to get further mileage out of a Signature with extremely high utility to the character.

Splatterhouse:
When reduced to 0 HP, this Signature can still heal HP on that round. If you regain enough HP to put you back at 5% of your maximum HP or above, you are not defeated, and may continue to fight.
You heal a Solid amount of the damage you take from all attacks, plus 10 HP.
You additionally heal 40% of the damage of attacks that defeat you, plus 40 HP. If you regain enough HP to put you back at 5% of your maximum HP or above, you are not defeated, and may continue to fight.

Heal 80 HP.
Turbo Overdrive:
You begin the battle with a pool of 4 Overdrive Points. Each time after you attack, you gain an additional Overdrive Point. When you Activate, all of your Overdrive Points are converted into 5 Drive each, which can break your maximum Drive limit. You cannot activate unless you have at least 2 Overdrive Points.
Reinforce:
Gain 4 Overdrive Points.
Ultimate Defense:
When you Activate, spend 4 Drive. The final damage of the next attack against you is reduced by 50. This effect stacks, and may be Activated multiple times against one attack, but may only be Activated 5 times in one battle. If any Activations would apply to an attack of 0 damage, including from this Signature or a Miss, the Drive and Activations spent are refunded.
Reinforce:
Gain 3 uses of Ultimate Defense.
Uncanny Reflexes:
You begin the battle with a pool of 4 Evasion Points. After the first time you defend, and every other time you defend after that, you gain an additional Evasion Point.
When you Activate, the next attack against you consumes Evasion Points equal to the level of the attack. The hit result of the attack automatically downgrades one step, taking place after all other hit result modifiers. If the attack would already be a Miss, you gain an Extreme bonus to Mitigation for defense instead.
Reinforce:
Gain 3 Evasion Points.
