Additionally (sorry, I'm on my phone) powers come from the human body. Technological devices does not count as a superpower. All robots are, by that definition, E rank and are not capable of superhuman levels of destruction and blatant disregard for physics. If Eve's source of power is her arms, she is not a super. If it's genetically encoded, then she is.
Terraforming is genetically encoded, only the super strength and soundwave projection comes from her arms. Do I need to unlist those as "Super" powers?

I would, but do take some time to write how they interact with her powers.

What stat would the strength of Vicky's laser vision be under? If here isn't one that correlated too it, I could easily log her as a C with the sum of the points.

They don't really interact, per se, they're separate. I assume super strength is pretty self-explanatory.
 
I like Eve. Cool picture, cool concept. The question of scale isn't even the most interesting thing to me. I would probably go with A, just because knocking down a whole city block seems plenty badass enough to me, and more 'in scale' with the bear arms. (I notice you dropped those from the powers list for the S level version, which makes sense because the ability to upend north america sort of makes the 'oh and I have metal arms too' seem a bit out of place. Like I can shoot lasers out of my eyes, but ALSO I can exert limited mind control over hamsters! The two things seem out of scale with each other.)


I like the sound waves thing very much, in part because that was what made me think of 'Jericho' from the story of the hebrew army's trumpets toppling the walls in the book of Joshua. Maybe those two things could be tied together better though? Like if the sound waves were how you transmitted the energy, and focusing it was how you controlled the reshaping of the matter you transmitted it to? I think it would be cool if the energy for that actually came from you personally and while you previously channeled it through your fleshy arms, now the cyber arms allow you to amp it up and focus it better. Also then the excess energy could power the arm servos so that you don't need batteries, and they can't be disabled by just breaking the speakers, because the sonic waves actually come from you.


I do think the terraforming power needs better definition. I think I have the basic idea of it, but I think that is mostly from our PM discussions. I kind of picture 'earth bending' like from Avatar, but more large scale destruction, with less stomping around and more Kamehameha! type of thing. Maybe it could be described something like:


Structural Rearrangement: Eve can use amplified sound waves to vibrate any solid material at its resonant frequency with enough power to completely restructure its molecular matrix. She can't change one kind of material into a different one, just reshape it. This can easily knock down bridges or buildings or, in at least one past instance, pull the steel out of a building to make a makeshift bridge (and a rubble pile). Positively enormous amounts of earth can be shifted without much effort. Rock can be restructured almost as easily, but into more durable structures. Under time pressure, building anything more complicated than a simple cave is almost impossible, but given time, who knows what she might be able to cobble together? Living matter is generally too squishy to directly reshape in this manner, but can be very violently shoved out of the way in the process of moving other matter around.


(So you can make living things squish shaped)


I'd also like to hear a little more about her personal stuff. From her picture, I sense an artistic soul. Not, y'know like a mandolin player or a painter or something; I picture her as a BADASS ARTIST who will challenge your sense of what art is. Maybe a welder? That would be cool if she welds in her spare time, and give her skillz to fix the arms. Welding art always seems a little "GRrrrr, it is TOO art you f'ing philistine! You want me to come over there, little boy? I will SHOW you the meaning of art!" to me. Heh. Maybe that says more about me than you. Or maybe a tattoo artist? I dunno.


I think it would be cool if she had a secret aspiration to do 'installation' sculpture pieces, like the kind you build a city center around. Something that sums up the spirit of a city. Like the Gateway arch type of thing, you know? Or Mt Rushmore.


Last thought: Relationships should have more than Aaron listed I think. What about her brother? Is he still alive? Her parents? Are they proud of their badass tomboy? I would be. This is a coooool character. I look forward to working with her.


Hope that is helpful. I really really like the rough draft, and I had fun thinking about how her powers might work. Hopefully I didn't go too far away from your vision, but if I did, feel free to go another way entirely.
 
Beauregard is going nicely, just need the traits & history and she should be good for reviewing.


Seeing that, from what I understand, Cybernetics and stuff don't contribute to points I successfully lowered her down to an A rank to stop the overflow of S's and stuff. Could change a bit, buuttt not too much. Would appreciate some critque and stuff on her Superpower's.

Since people were talking about stats, for Kennith I just went joe average with a slightly above average willpower.


After all, his power is literally all mental strength xD Takes a lot of willpower to separate mind from body

I may or may not have taken a little inspiration from you, Terra. xD Besides the blasty part, I want for her to have had a normal life.


My confusion with the stats is mostly just that one thing though.

Powers and weaknesses look cool and interesting. While it is obviously a little premature to offer feedback on the bio, I did wonder about the 'callous' thing. That often goes with the techy mind-type, but so much so that seems a little too pat, you know? And it looks like you are going, at least a bit, for playing against type, with the whole ironic 'death-bunny' thing. Counter to type and irony are my two very most favorite things, and I heartily approve. But then, why 'callous'? Or, if callous, why bunnies? Why not go 'death-goth' with just an ironic pink color scheme? Don't get me wrong. The bunny thing, I love. But maybe 'kitschy' would be sufficiently negative, and fit better?


Alternatively, you could go for callous, and play up the socially oblivious thing: Maybe she thinks bunnies are the best choice to genuinely terrify her enemies, and she chose that theme like a more typical goth technocrat would choose say, a vampire theme?


I like the first thing better though. Be cute. Embrace it. Let them be lulled into dismissing you as 'just' cute. It could buy you a few more seconds to finish your hack. Also: because CUTE! :D


EDIT: Also death bunny should be the codename.

Raguel probably has a Donald Trump shrine in their bedroom.
 
There's two things Raguel hates more than anything in the world:

BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO GET A POST WRITTEN!!! SO FAR I HAVE "AARON WAS…"


also, apparently, I missed it completely somehow... Tune in soonish. I do enjoy seeing works in progress, and I dearly love to hear myself type.

Really neat power. I am a little confused by what it means that when she eats the lie she 'leaves the truth behind' exactly. I get the idea, I just am unclear what that looks like… does the speaker re say the sentence with exact literal truth? Do all the hearers just 'know' the truth while the sounds are unchanged? Do the words morph 'in mid air'? Might be a little too detailed, but I get curious about such things.
Hang about, I definitely weighed in on this character.


I had to search back TEN PAGES to find that!

So... I have someone that I'm working with... and they're slowly taking form into someone I'm becoming rather pleased with...



NOTE!: This is still a work in progress. Aspects are apt to change both with input and from further consideration on my part.

I stand by what I said, I think it is a cool power, and my questions were answered. If you posted one with a more complete history and relationships, I missed it somehow. I would just add those. That is my feedback so far. Personality traits seem a good fit. Art looks… pretty amazing really. I missed that part before.

Mm, indeed, though she didn't get nearly the slough of inquiries. I thought... perhaps...


[/places hand on her face and dramatically turns away]



Perhaps she wasn't interesting enough to look into further...!
