This applies to all of them. If I were to come up with a technique for Pierce that involves a stat boost, I don't want Geminex getting all up in my grill because I plagiarized his Dark Ambition. If I come up with a technique for Sophia that involves protecting an ally or using an extra item, I don't want Menarker dropping the copyright hammer on my balls.
Similarly, I won't be crying if you guys come up with techniques that allow you more actions per turn, or inflict Null Turn on the enemies or some such.
That is, of course, only when the general idea is being copied. If I gave Pierce a technique that used Protect on any allies willing to pay a certain amount of Rage, or gave Sophia a technique that made the Enforcers attack from the rearguard, then you can bitch.
Get it? Good. Now, if I hear you two whining again because that dude came up with a technique that inflicted more damage when allies are at full health which is kinda sorta like my technique that deals more damage when all the allies are dead
*stops to take a breath*
I will make you pay.
Yes, I just made a threat. Don't believe me? Call me on it and watch me make your lives a living hell when I plagiarize all your moves for a start, and claim copyright on all damage-dealing techniques because MY TECHNIQUES INVOLVED DEALING DAMAGE FIRST STFU. Or you can just shut up and admit I'm right.

If I can just clarify myself a bit Drac, I was joking around when I "threatened" to slap you for copying my technique. I said all that and continued to proceeded to help you modify your technique in the same breath and thus approved it once you modified it. So I really had no problem with you or anyone else using similar mechanics whatsoever.
Then Gem seemed to went possessive for similar reasons (although whether he was joking or not I'll leave between the two of you to decide). And I basically joked back saying that my idea which was based on the same mechanic was older than HIS move, so he has no right complaining, since based on that logic, I was the first one to consider the idea and thus the alleged "copyright". :3
