▌ NAME: Kagemane || Shadow Imitation
▌ MAJORS: Intelligence & Accuracy
▌ MINORS: Haste & Heart or Power
▌ TYPE: Devil Fruit

Targets: 1
Range: 2 meters (Fair Shadow) || 3 Meters (Medium Shadow) || 5 Meters (Excellent Shadow/Noonish)
Duration: 3 Posts
Weaknesses: It's range is limited, is dependent of a light source, and has a duration of 3 posts. Those with heart majors are only controllable for 2 posts as they have more will. Heart Minors might have a bit of resistance but not enough to shorten the duration. Cool down of 2 posts. Can only be used 3 times.
▌ BERRIES: Free

▌ NAME: Dopperuman || Doppleman
▌ MAJORS: Same as User
▌ MINORS: Same as User
▌ TYPE: Devil Fruit
▌ DESCRIPTION: This ability is the same ability as the cannon ability, albeit with more weaknesses as it is a starting ability. The shadow is able to utilize any weapons the user has on their personnel.

Targets: N/A
Range: Shadow must remain 3 meters from user
Duration: 5 Posts || 3 Post Cooldown
Weaknesses: The controller can not change the size or shape of the doppleman. The doppleman has normal light weaknesses. The shadow's intangibility can be offset by a surprise attack that he can't anticipate, such as a gun shot to the back. Weak attacks will be ignored and healed but moderately strong attacks will cause the shadow to dissipate.

You haven't clearly listed any weakness for the skill.
You have been denied the Doppleman cannon skill as it is too powerful for a 'fresh' level DF skill, especially without any kind of adjustment to what it can do. In the future you need to modify the cannon skills to give it more continuity for a forum role play based setting.

For a level 1 ability i'd expect your amount of control to be limited and resistable. I do like how it is more powerful when your shadow is bigger due to the amount of sun. It seems similar to Kage Kakumei ability that Moriah has used. However, in that he injects his shadow into the person's and manipulates it rather then having the person copy their action.

Put some limitations onto the first ability and it should be good to go. Cooldown, amount of time your in control, how many times you can use it per thread, limits to how you can manipulate them etc


Doppleman is too powerful for level 1. You get a powerful clone of yourself with it, which is rather powerful.

A suggestion for a weaker dopplemon-esque ability would be being able to make your shadow grab an opponent. You'd have to control this of course and its range would probably be the length of your arm or perhaps longer depending on the time of day. You could probably get away with being able to detach your shadow and have it move about on surfaces, but it would only be able to grab things or maybe do a punch or kick.

Not sure on dopplemon 100%, but meh approved 1/2

Being able to control a character for three whole posts is much to powerful, also even if your character successfully connected shadows with an opponent there should be a way for a character to break out of it, even if their major isn't heart. Being able to force a character to mirror yours is also very god mod esk. I'm going to give a 1/2 for denial on this skill.

"This ability is the same ability as the cannon ability" you need to write this part out so that your skill clearly states what it can do. It can be the canon skill but you still need to write it out here.
