Editing Tribute (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Tribute can willingly decrease his own physical and mental attributes in order to increase those of people he focuses on.<ref name="9.y e2">Tribute fixated on Tristan.  Byron could feel the strength, the increase in heart rate, and the way that cognitive processing sped up until the rest of the world seemed to move slower.<br/><br/>Tribute would be a sitting duck, dumb, slow, weak and fragile, so long as he was giving this kind of strength.  One thrown attack like what Paris was pulling out of his sleeve would ''destroy'' Tribute.<br/>[...]<br/>Paris threw a railroad spike.  Tristan ducked it, letting it detonate.  Then, still in slow motion, still with some augmented power from Tribute, that power slipping away with every moment as Tribute went on the offense, Tristan charged. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9.y II]]</ref><ref>Dave was Tribute and Tribute could grant people mental and physical traits, at a cost to his own.  Keeping Tribute on the back bench for busier weeks had meant he’d been able to lend others a few hours of double the recovery time and natural healing, as well as mental recuperation and equilibrium.  It impacted his own recovery, of course, but if he wasn’t tired, the effect on him was negligible. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/25/infrared-19-d/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.d]]</ref><ref>“What do you need, Moon?” Tribute asked.<br/><br/>“I need… control over my own emotions.  Courage.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/25/infrared-19-d/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.d]]</ref>

His power is complementary to [[Moonsong]]'s, though not synergistic. He can enhance a teammate while her control of gravity can enhance the teams actions and strategy.<ref>Coiffure had apparently realized that her hair was done disintegrating, and she was next into the fray, hair forming a bubble around her as she leaped through the fence of flying particles.  She kept weapons in her hair, blades at the end of braids, hidden in the expansive, growing mane, and she used them, hands reaching out, catching a cord, swinging the blade, her own hair deflecting that blade from hitting her as it carried on its course.  She moved like she had Tribute backing her, with a flying leap like Moonsong was helping with the gravity situation.  When her blades came down, they came down with a force that Moonsong had to have helped with, biting into the pavement. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/09/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 9.y II]]</ref>
