Super heroes revisited

[Goryokaku]

I'm sort of only doing 1 post a day... so you can assume my character went to sleep this turn...

Edit: Also fast Paced GMing can out sync all the other characters especially if for instance my character goes to bed and you guys cover a completely extra day in the interval of your fast paced gming. It also has a point of burying posts so I have to go looking back a page or to for the gm post I'm supposed to reply too.

[Urhr93]

I was just asking, don't worry XD as i've said i'm the mood to write and i'm getting excited thinking of the development, but there no problem even if i wait ^^ Even slow-paced is good for me, don't worry XD

[Soru]

While I like the idea of fast paced GMing, I guess it could mess up another's post. Though some people like to advance their parts faster than others. As long as it doesn't like overlap a day then it should be fine. I for one am okay with the fast paced GMing.

[Urhr93]

anyway, i'm curious if there will be a GM before going to sleep since it seems that quite a lot of people already posted XD

[Amaranis A'daragon]

Nope, never.

[Urhr93]

*dreams crushed* XD

[Amaranis A'daragon]

Yes....YES. Crushed dreams! My favorite ice cream topping! XD

[Goryokaku]

I'm gonna possible pull out of this rp, I keep having to go look for my gm post, cause I'm taking this slower then everyone else. The idea is good but for now I'll wait till it possibly slows down so I can rejoin and not worry about people zooming off from me or being in a fight where every thing is over and done after my first post because of the pace I'm going at.

Just so no-one takes this the wrong way I'm not complaining about the pace you are all going at more that I don't really want to rp at that pace myself so it's easier if I just step down from the rp.

[Soru]

Sorry, it's mostly me and eaenidu doing one on one that's making it look like it's going fast.

So...if you're still accepting new players, I sort of dropped off before actually created character at the start

Name: Anna Williams
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: bi
Appearance:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Strength: 10
Dexterity: 10
Constitution: 10
Wisdom: 10
Intelligence: 16
Charisma: 14
Virtue: 0
Power(s):

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Mirror (mental, Int based, given the workings?): If she knows the powers of someone she can see in her vicinity, she can copy these powers. Works only while she's near the person she's mirroring, can only copy powers she knows the Gifted is possessing. For example, if she was near Superman and knew only that he's super-strong and invulnerable, she would be able to copy these two powers, but not his heat-vision. Vulnerabilities are short range (about 20 meters), the need for the information and for the line of sight for the initial mirroring, and opponents immune to their own powers. If she mirrors (another example) pyrokinetic immune to fire, they can't do much to each other.

If there will be "leveling" to increase character's powers later, I suggest things like longer range, time delay before her copied power fades, copying of powers she doesn't knows of, maybe reflecting of powers.

Back story:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Anna was born just before the World War. Her parents were just common middle-class workers, but unlike many others, they all get through the war unscathed. Her older sister, Lisa, was Gifted, with shapeshifting powers. Anna discovered her own power thanks to her; when she was still young, she has envied her older sister and often wished to have some cool ability like her. They were both very surprised when Anna accidentaly copied Lisa's power for the first time. At first, Anna's power was barely controlled and worked only on touch, but Lisa helped her to train it to its current state and advised her to keep it hidden, in hope her little sister will escape bad experiences she had with mutant-haters. Lisa tried to help enhance public view of mutants, but about ten years ago, she was killed when anti-mutant protest turned into a massive, violent riot. Anna, teenager then, was devastated by her sister's death.

She kept her secret...it was useless without another Gifted individual in her vicinity anyway. Ignoring her parent's fear of repeating of Lisa's fate, Anna decided to continue her sister's work, even during studies. She was vocal pro-mutant activist, joining the internet comunity of mutant fans and later even getting her own Youtube channel talking about mutant isues, often citing her sister's dead as a reason for her support of Gifted individuals. She studied to be a lawyer, defending mutants accused of crimes (not too major, though) and appealing for some changes in laws to better account for the mutant powers. Thanks to the videos she's still making, only at slower pace due to her work, she's well known, but her fame as a "superhero fangirl" and mutant-lover earned her some enmity in anti-mutant circles. She ignores threats and insults as best as she can and managed to escape any real harm, but after some acts of vandalism, she's learned how to defend herself.

Currently, Anna bought an appartment in Nirvana to get closer to the largest mutant community in the world. She's just moving in, not aware of the riot so similar to one that cost the life of her sister...

Anna keeps her power secret. She doesn't like "mutants" as a name for superpowered individuals, using Gifted herself and trying to convince others to use it too. She's calm and confident, and tries to not get into trouble. She knows a enough from martial arts to defend herself against unskilled individuals, but she's aware possible oponents will be physicaly stronger. To deal with that, she's often carrying a self-defense arsenal consisting of legally owned gun, pepper spray, telescopic baton and a paralyser. Although she hasn't actually needed to use the gun, she's training at shooting range regularly and won't hesitate to use it to avoid her sister's fate.

ok KnightVanillia convinced me not to pull out just yet, I'm going to act as though my character is a sleep though for now and will do a post tomorrow.

[Amaranis A'daragon]

So, if im to understand your power Pheonix, your power is a long ranged version of Rogue's?

[KnightVanilla]

Or you could think of those two characters from the series Heroes

[Phoenixcz]

After checking Rogue's power on wikipedia, I'd say mine version is weaker and much more limited, even though it don't need touch.

[Amaranis A'daragon]

Mmm....Im still trying to wrap my head around this power. I try to make sure there is some form of drawback for all the powers (I.E needing multiple stats the be effective, concentration, etc.) But for a power that can literally be anything at any given time, it is a lot to account for. So far, the only draw back I can think of is:
-You can't spontaneously stop having one power you imitate to get another
-You need to CORRECTLY guess what the power is. (Telekinesis and Wind Elemental could be confused with each other from a distance)
-How to correctly work the cooldown system.
-You cant copy the strength of the other person's power.

Those sound about right?

[Urhr93]

What's my drawback? *-*

[Sortaix]

Your drawback would be that we can't allow you near anything electrical. like my Popcorn popper! Stay away from my popcorn popper!
Other than that, be careful if you run into any rubber villains, or any villains wearing rubber.

[Urhr93]

uhm... i don't have elctrical powers °O° my character handles pure energy °O° it's black, but it's pure energy °O°

[Goryokaku]

I'm the one with electrical powers...

[Sortaix]

Hey! Don't make me call EPA to make you use clean energy!
