Living Ink Lies

by FrostedAce

Her grandfather had known that nothing in the studio was as it should be. He had tried to uncover inky secrets before he died, but the Machine must have gotten to him first. Harley is determined to see just what her grandfather had meant, even if that entailed looking for what a wayward Joey Drew had tried to drown in ink so very long ago.

Abilities

Gold Ink

Gives the Holder the power to control any Ink Creation that they Link with or are Paired to. Harley unlocks this power when protecting the Chaos Entity from a man who's more of a memory than a true being. The woman uses Gold Ink as both a weapon and a shield. When Gold Ink is given to another Ink Entity, mainly Bendy and his Others and the Chaos Entity, the Being becomes more powerful and more dangerous. Deadly.

Pair

Gives the Holder the ability to bond or "pair" with a certain Ink Entity, so long as the bond is mutual and beneficial to both. Harley and the Chaos Entity are so far the only ones in the Ink Realm who have been capable of perfecting this ability. Most of the time, the Host of the Pair will give part of their power/soul to their Entity in order to heal the Entity or make it stronger.

Travel

This is when an Ink Entity (or someone Paired with them) can move through the Ink that surrounds the studio. Most of the time, this is used merely as a way of transportation, however, in dire circumstances, Harley and the Chaos Entity will use it as a way to hide from the more volatile of the Ink Creatures. If someone who's Paired has a strong enough Pair with their Entity, they can travel faster and for longer amounts of time. However, if they're in the Ink for too long, it starts to consume them, much like it did with the Studio itself.

Point of Grounding

This helps in two ways, one is Pair and another is Travel. For Travel, a Point of Grounding is when the Ink Entity finds the best points of entrance and escape in the Ink. Only an Ink Entity can see these Points, so it's imperative the Host has a destination in mind when having the Entity use Point of Grounding. As for Pair, it helps the Entity to more efficiently Pair with their Host by finding the area that had the most susceptibility to the Ink and making that connection stronger through the Point of Grounding.

Ink Flow

This is the ability that only Ink Creatures and Entity's have. It allows the Holder to call upon the Ink at any point in time for any reason to be used as either a weapon or a shield. The only issue with Ink Flow is that, like Travel, if used for too long, the Ink can start to consume them. Ink Flow is one of the more powerful of the abilities, and so far, only Bendy and his Others are known to use it. If an Entity is taught Ink Flow, however, it can soon become even more powerful with the use of Pair. Gold Ink also gives more power to any Creature or Entity that has the ability of Ink Flow, which is how Bendy and Echo managed to unlock Beast.

Create Weapon

This gives any Ink Creature or Entity the ability to craft anything their minds come up with. Only higher level Ink can actually properly use this ability, however, every Ink Creature/Entity has the actual power of it, most just don't have enough power to unlock it. With Bendy and his Others, only Bendy doesn't have the ability unlocked. Yet. When in battle, Creation is more attuned with the Holder's mind which allows for the Weapon to hold for a longer amount of time and the more heated the battle, the more tangible the Weapon will be.

Transform

Any Ink Entity with enough power has the ability to shift into any kind of form they want. However, for an Ink Entity that's a lower level, most of the power that has to be used is taken from the Host of the Entity. This Power Surge drains the Host quickly, with practically no way to replenish the zapped energy. If the Entity uses too much of the Hosts given power, they start taking from the reserves of the Hosts soul. If the Host expends too much of their true soul, then they die, in both the Ink Realm and the human one. Every Ink Entity with a Paired soul will try and avoid this at all costs. If a Host were to die, it's unlikely the Ink Entity will be able to survive without their extra power.

Power Surge

This ability is normally only given to Hosts of Entity's that originate from the Ink Realm. Most of the time, any other Host isn't capable of using the power correctly and will only end up killing themselves by giving too much of their energy and soul to their Paired Entity. Harley is one of the only known humans to be able to use Power Surge without ultimately killing herself. The only other person who had once been able to use Power Surge had been Henry Stein, who was killed by Joey Drew later on.
