OOC Discussion

[ManicMuse]

WHAAT ARRE YOU TAALKING ABOOWT?!
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!


MAKE AN EDNA?! IS THIS A QUESTION?!


SHE IS E CLASS! ALL YOU NEED IS ONE CP!

Okay, I seriously have become addicted to this idea. I am working on a profile. This is going to be the grandson of Edna.


I am just working to figure out how he would fit in at AEGIS as he is not 'gifted'.


Maybe he could sneak in with another student and claim he is gifted? Doubt that would last more than a day though.


Another idea is, he comes to AEGIS and begs an instructor for an internship.


Maybe there is some commonwealth exchange program, where those who want careers assisting those with powers get to come to school with them for a semester?


Thoughts? Suggestions?

• Personality
  
  
  Logical
  
  
  Ziya has a very logical and strategic mindset, often trying to rationalize the world around her. Even when she is emotional, she attempts to reason through why she felt that way. Her analytical nature enhances her problem-solving and critical thinking, allowing her to consider all possible scenarios in each course of action.
  
  
  Confident
  
  
  Ziya has high self-confidence and trusts her rationalism above all else, so when she comes to a conclusion, she has no reason to doubt herself. Therefore, she is independent and decisive, willing to take full responsibility for her actions. Additionally, she is assertive in her beliefs, as she is not afraid of confrontation and will voice her opinions regardless of the consequences.
  
  
  Arrogant
  
  
  Her confidence and strict logic can make her arrogant and stubborn in her beliefs, sometimes refusing to listen to the opinions of those around her. Ziya believes that the best course of action is the most logical one, so anyone who uses emotions or personal biases to make objective judgments may clash with her views. As a result, she may appear judgmental or condescending at times, sometimes using her strict logic to make conclusions about others.
  
  
  Persistent
  
  
  Ziya is very determined in her goals and loyal to her beliefs. Authority figures, social conventions, and traditions do not impress her, as once she believes she has a better idea, she will strive to have that change implemented. Additionally, her persistence also applies to her relationships with others, as she will never give up on those she loves, being a constant and reliable presence in their lives. Once she has seen the worth in someone, that person will have her unconditional loyalty.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Ziya was born into a lower-middle class family in the suburbs of Baltimore, along with her twin sister, Zyra. Growing up in a more sketchy part of town and attending the public schools there taught Ziya how to defend herself, both verbally and physically. Especially when a group of her more violent classmates developed their powers in early high school, they used their newfound abilities to bully other students. Ziya, not one to keep her head low, spoke up against these arrogant assholes and became subject to more bullying.
  
  
  When the twins entered their senior year of high school, Ziya met a kind super named Jackson, who had the ability to grow extra limbs. Strong, romantic feelings soon developed between them and they started dating. Although Jackson was a sweet, caring man, he also enjoyed drinking and partying like the rest of their high school classmates. Even though Ziya was not very fond of this scene, she still enjoyed going to parties with Jackson and Zyra.
  
  
  One night, the three of them were at a football party when Ziya became extremely drunk. Halfway through the night, she went upstairs to look for her sister and found Jackson sexually assaulting Zyra by using his extra limbs to pin her against the bed. Horrified, Ziya smashed the desk lamp against Jackson's back and helped her twin sister out of the room. Both still intoxicated, they headed towards the driveway where Jackson had parked his car and Ziya began driving the two of them home.
  
  
  As they drove over a bridge, however, she lost control of the car and sped off into the freezing river. What came next was a blur to her. She remembers the water parting for her, moving in such a way to allow Ziya to exit the car and reach the surface for air. She immediately swam back underwater to save her sister, manipulating the water to help pull Zyra out of the car and to the surface. However, by the time Ziya pulled them out of the river, Zyra was already dead.
  
  
  Devastated and filled with guilt, Ziya was sent to Facility 108 after the authorities realized that it was impossible for both of them to have escaped the trapped car without superpowers. She refuses to use her powers to harm others like Jackson and the bullies did and hopes to eventually attain a Blue Card.
  
  
  
• NPC's
  
  
  Eric and Laila Cinzel
  
  
  Her father and mother, respectively. Ziya cannot face them after she killed Zyra in the drunk driving accident. She has a somewhat strained relationship with them due to this event, but knows that they all still love each other at the end of the day.
  
  
  Adison Larson
  
  
  Her best friend. Aside from Zyra, Adison is almost like Ziya's sister. The two met in early high school when they both refused to submit to bullying and instead, stood up against the new supers together. Adi was Ziya's main support system after Zyra's death.
  
  
  Jackson Rylan
  
  
  Her ex-boyfriend. Ziya hates him with every fiber of her body after he sexually assaulted her twin sister. Although she blames herself for Zyra's death, she blames Jackson for playing a role in her death as well. Additionally, she hates herself for not seeing this coming and falling for his nice guy trap. She has not seen or talked to him since Zyra's death.
  
  
  OTHER CHARACTERS
  
  
  TBD
  
  
  
• Water Manipulation
  
  
  The ability to shape and manipulate the water in her environment, including changing water from one state to another. This also includes density manipulation by controlling water molecules, moving or lifting water/ice/vapor, water attacks, water purification, and water walking.
  
  
  • Hydroportation- The ability to teleport via water and water sources. She can teleport via water, merging into a body of water of any size and appearing anywhere else within the same element.
    
  • Hydrokinetic Spying- The ability to spy, communicate, and surveillance using the element of water. She can communicate with anyone (within a limited range) by tapping into the water, including rain, cups of water, ponds, puddles, etc. The water form will become a screen-like image that will allow her to see what is happening around them.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Inability to create water- She is limited to manipulating the water that already exists around her; she cannot generate water out of nothing.
    
  
  
  
  • Exhaustion- Controlling and manipulating great bodies of water over long periods of time is very energy-draining. The stronger or longer an ability, the more tiring it is.
    
  
  
  
  • Range- The range on her hydrokinetic spying is about the size of the city, so she can only spy and communicate within the city that she is in (Baltimore).
    
  
  
  
  • Electricity- Because water serves as a great conductor, her abilities are susceptible to electricity and she is vulnerable to electrocution. This also means that while her abilities are greatly enhanced when it's raining, she cannot use any huge abilities during a thunderstorm from fear of being struck by lightning.
    
  
  
  
  • Hydrophobic molecules- Her abilities are not effective against substances that are made up of hydrophobic molecules, meaning those that repel water. This includes oils, fats, waxes, and greasy substances.

[/QUOTE]
Technically E class is based on stats alone, they could still have a minor gift, such as super fashion sense. Give him ones down the board for physical stats and split the extra five between will and intelligence. I would sugest 1,1,1,1,3,4, if he is to be spunky like his grandma. He could study materials science in college and come to aegis 108 as a uniform designer. Gear everybody up with bullet proof fireproof spandex!

[Crimrose]

I have a question.


Would a randomness power be acceptable? I've done it before, so no fear that it's an experiment for me...


Basically, well... It's random. It could range from temporarily gaining a power to pulling out items or entities from separate, yet researchable dimensions. Basically meaning it'll be pulled from an existing idea or franchise, not something I made up. Powerlisting has Power Randomization But the effect I want extends farther. Obviously, this could end in me doing more harm to myself than my opponent, as some things do that. For one, I'll need either immense durability (Because I will self destruct on occasion... I'll just link a video to show what I mean.) or immense regen... Otherwise I'll probably die within my first usage... I determine what power I use based on a randomizer wheel site. I use a d20 roller to determine the strength of the item or power. The length of usage varies, but won't be longer than a few minutes at best. (0-5 min) Mainly because it's best used to combo, despite having the chance to fail miserably. A use outside of combat would be difficult, although I do decide one thing. Obviously there's too many items and powers, so it's been divided into 3 parts. Offensive, Defensive and Support/Useless. After the category is chosen, I do get to decide what pops into their hand.... Or out of the sky. (I link stuff nobody knows about when I use them.)


For instance: (I actually just rolled now, take my word for it. I'm an honest person xD .) I spun the wheel, landing upon the Armored Core franchise. For those of you who need a brief rundown of AC, it's basically a mecha game with fast paced combat. At least 4 and 4A were fast, the others were medium. I also rolled a 20. This is already pretty bad considering the fact that the things in that universe can get ridiculous, but to continue... I rolled a 2, meaning it has to be a defensive thing. I'd probably gain this in the form of a Kojima Shield. Basically, this shield isn't very healthy to use if you're a human, which is why I'll likely need a huge amount of regen or durability. The shield can be corrosive, and gives off radiation, which adds to the fact... I'd obviously lose durability over time with the shield active, but it's pretty much invulnerable to things that aren't lasers... Lasers just go through. Lastly, the shield can be purged in an explosive fashion, which isn't good to be by. The reason the shield is good is because of the ability of the particles. The particles solidify when struck, so you can imagine what an explosion is like. Imagine getting hit by a radioactive, corrosive, steel wall. At high velocity. Considering the explosion happens near the fringes, I don't think it would damage me much.


That was the example. For the video, yes, I know it's the Sonic Fanbase being trashed. Am I a fan of Sonic? To an extent. Am I cringe? I don't know. [media]

Just a small note on the points system we have for powers...


"Due to the way points are distributed, the “average” ability score for the average unpowered human is around 2. 4 to 6 points in an ability is considered moderately powerful, and 7 to 9 points is considered very powerful." -from the sign-up page


I see you have put a one on health and defense, I am just worried about how easily your character could be killed.

 

[ManicMuse]

An E rank is definitely an unpowered, normal character.

I have some time to play with it. I am only one post in with Izzy right now. Maybe I can make him an D and give him a minor ability. Still we don't have many E's running around. I thought it might be nice to mix it up.

 

[Lemon Boy]

@Crimrose


I'd personally suggest going for something a lot more manageable and less chaotic in nature.


It just seems to cause a lot of needless hassle for just one character and also they could become Omega OP if they say, got something like Spatial manipulation or whatever and would require Welian herself to probably step in and manage things as well just to make sure you aren't cheating or anything; given she's a moderator I don't think she'd appreciate having to deal with more stuff.


You'd probably be better off going with a more solid idea that doesn't cause lots of unneeded management.

Ah that's true, I wanted to make room for points in other categories, but I guess that's a very real concern as well haha


I just reallocated my points so that each category has at least 2 pts... or maybe I should change my character to an A rank

 

[Gus]

An E rank is definitely an unpowered, normal character.

I know, but c'mon, super-fashion sense!


Lots of E class people IRL have that gift!


"Fashion senses tingling!"

 

[Crimrose]

It's just that quite a few powers are taken right now, to the point that most of my characters have already been made. Sure, there will be duplicates, but I don't see a need to be one right off the bat.


Other than that, I had one character who was also strong, provided they jump off a building. Or get hit by a train. Or touch lava. Simply existing in some places gradually built their strength.


Essentially, I don't want to be someone else but with a different personality.


I had a property changing slime, but she was vastly too OP for the one place I put them in... Creating jets with fuel and everything... It was pretty bad. Then there's my portal guy, who already exists here and my version was better in terms of strength, which means it isn't happening...


I could always do a plasma character though... Nobody's done that from what I've seen. No, not just the superheated kind... Considering quite a few things are plasma. Is a plasma character acceptable?

Plasma is new hotness, but Bose-Einstein condensates are coooooool!


Edit: sorry, bit of a physics geek. There would be some neat powers associated with being a BEC in addition to the 'near absolute zero' thing, such as superfluidity and superconductivity. Bose–Einstein condensate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Lemon Boy]

A Plasma character would be perfectly acceptable much like any other character as long as fair and proper weaknesses are put in place for them. I'd consider one of the weaknesses being unable to control Plasma generated by other Supers, such as Fire or Electricity. Just so you don't step into "Controlling other character" territory.


You can always come to the OC or Gm's for idea's on a superpower if you're super lost on what you could give them. I'm sure everyone here is bustling with Idea's they can give out to others!

 

[Crimrose]

The jokes shall fly xD .


I could live without controlling other's fire. Or lightning... I'm going to need certain qualities anyway, which would help against myself. Yeah, I mean, I can't be a normal human and still not incinerate my hand. That doesn't work that way.

 

[Crimrose]

I have so much trouble writing with BB codes, I have to figure out where to type and not to type, otherwise the thing will blow up in your face... Mind if I post the code and edit as I go along, so I know when I mess up?

BBCode - How to turn off Rich Text Editor


turning it off will allow you to edit freely

 

[Lemon Boy]

If you're unsure with the code, you can go ahead and simply write up the information plainly then PM Welian, One of the Gm's or one some fabulous people here if they're feeling generous; I myself would be absolutely fine handling the code for you! I'd also suggest using the Private workshop just so we don't get bombarded by endless notifications and all that.

 

[Swoob]

1-3 is the capacity of an average human, 4-6 suggests superhuman ability, and 7-9 are holy shit territory

2 things: first, a good way to do both the ranking and power meter is to first just fill out the meter with what you think fits your character without worrying about point sum. Then, pick a target rank. Finally, add up your points. If it ends up being higher than your target rank allows for, bring down the points to match it. If it's lower, bring down your target rank.


Also, this is a personal thing I am astronomically pissed by so this is just a suggestion, not a co-gm's decree: please don't use superpower wiki terms guys. I see way too much of it and honestly it's gross. You can totally use the superpower wiki for inspiration or even getting a power, but straight up copying the name is really lazy. Plus, they use very dull terms. "Physiology" and "empowerment" and other ways they word things are very bland and, to me, sound like a lack of creativity and effort. Again, this is a suggestion, not an order, but I personally think it would be better to spice things up your own way.


I'm not saying I've seen anybody do this (honestly I forget) but to anybody coming in, that's my advice to you.


EDIT: As I said, it's my personal suggestion, so putting it in your cs will not sway my official judgement of your character

Also, this is a personal thing I am astronomically pissed by so this is just a suggestion, not a co-gm's decree: please don't use superpower wiki terms guys. I see way too much of it and honestly it's gross.

Science wiki articles are cool though, right Swoob?

I was just riffing off of plasma to BEC as a fifth state of matter, but the more I think about it, that would have all kinds of interesting implications. I seem to recall there were some initial results a few years back regarding a sixth state of matter where a crystalline solid is spontaneously stripped of all its electrons by a high power laser. Sounds like a plasma right? But get this: it maintains the crystal structure (for about a nanosecond before exploding) so it is plasma, but solid. That would be Luc's opposite number basically, if someone could maintain that form without the exploding part.
