OOC Discussion

[welian]

Can confirm shaming is a thing.

obby

I did have a living hair OC back on another site. If you really want it, I could use her. She's the only OC I've been fine with being weak on.

I'd encourage you to go for that, if you're comfortable with playing her.

HOW COULD I HAVE NOT THOUGHT OF THIS

Git gud

  Notes
  
  He is always glowing.
  
  
• Attentive
  
  
  Luci often pays attention, even though it seems like he never does. He is quick to lose focus, but also quick to regain it.
  
  
  Rambunctious
  
  
  Luci is very active, and some would even call him hyperactive, but he is also very cheerful and happy most of the time. He is quick to be interested in things, and while it sometimes seem like he has too many interests to keep track of, he hasn’t really gotten an in-depth knowledge of most of them
  
  
  Strict
  
  
  Luci sticks to the rules, and expects others to do so too, but he is more forgiving of others if they break the rules than he is of himself. He will generally do what someone in authority tells him to, unless it’s ‘sit still’.
  
  
  Disruptive
  
  
  Even when Luci tries to keep quiet or still, he’ll still somehow manage to get the attention. This isn’t appreciated very much, and many teachers think Luci does this on purpose, and his powers didn’t weaken that assumption. He doesn’t do it on purpose though, he just cannot sit still, and his twitching legs, tapping fingers, and roaming eyes don’t mean he doesn’t pay attention.
  
  
  History
  
  
  First son, but middle child in a family of three, Luci grew up as a bit of an outsider. This was mostly because of the seeming complete ease with which he got high grades, despite never seeming to pay attention. In high school it was easier to find some people that could understand him, and while not popular, he is generally liked.
  
  
  He has a close relation with both his older sister and younger brother. His arguments with his younger brother are often more volatile, but that is likely because they share a room, so they can’t be send to their room, so the tension hardly dissipates with time. His relationship with his calm sister is different, and while the arguments between the two of them aren’t as explosive, they often land the entire household in a frigid calm. This is made worse when Luci catches her breaking the rules, something she does far too often for his liking.
  
  
  When Luci grew into his powers it came as a surprise to everyone, including Luci. He had woken up in the middle of the night and didn’t even notice that he could clearly in what should be a pitch black room until he woke up that morning and realized that he was glowing. As soon as he got to school he was the talk of the town, and quickly nicknamed ‘Glowstick’, it wasn’t his choice, but it stuck, so he has accepted the name. The teachers, already convinced he was purposely disrupting their classes, started openly disliking Luci, not because he was super, but because of the what his powers were. The other students didn’t follow their example but did quite the opposite.
  
  
  His sister grew quietly jealous, and his brother started looking up to him. When the tests came back at rank C Luci was enrolled in Facility 108 to learn some control. Now, several months later, Luci’s siblings have seen the reality and the home situation has balanced again, though the feelings still linger.
• 
  
  
  Faculty
  
  
  
  
  Leo De Luca
  
  
  Leo is the first teacher he met at the Facility and while it’s very different from what he’s used to it’s a welcome respite.
  
  
  Riley Zdunowski
  
  
  The security guard that was nice enough to help him find the way to his first class. Despite her kindness, he hopes he won’t come into contact with her again, as that would likely mean he’s in trouble.
  
  
  Family
  
  
  
  
  Mr and Mrs Tolbert
  
  
  He has a good relationship with his parents, even though they were very startled that he had powers, and even more by their nature.
  
  
  Older sister
  
  
  He looks up to his sister in ways, but in many ways they also clash. While she would never admit it, she is still jealous that he got powers and she didn’t.
  
  
  Younger brother
  
  
  He often gets into arguments with his brother, and now that he lights up the room they share, there is simply another thing for them to argue about. Nonetheless he looks up to Luci, especially now that Luci has powers, not that he’ll be obvious about it.
• Luminesce
  
  
  He glows. His emotions influence how bright he shines, stronger ones causes brighter light. He has some control over what color he shines, but this is not that noticeable. The clothes he wears dim the light somewhat if they’re very thick, but since he gets too hot very easily, he doesn’t wear thick clothes often.
  
  
  • Light skin: He can wrap his skin in light, making it a a shield, he can also use this to make his physical attacks stronger. It's much stronger in the dark, most likely because there is less interference. The brighter the light the stronger this is.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Can’t stop, won’t stop: He cannot stop glowing, he could make it very dim, but he is always glowing. This has some dastardly consequences, like when he tries to sleep, and is his own night light. Not only does this cause insomnia, he is also more susceptible to headaches, as he is constantly surrounded by bright lights. Also, this paints a very obvious bull's-eye on his back, especially during the night.
    
  • Core temperature: He has body temperature regulation issues. Whenever he glows brighter, his body temperature goes up, and because he is always alight, his body temperature is also above the human average. When he uses a lot of energy, he needs to refuel quickly, because his body temperature will start dropping below the healthy range.
    
  • Always hungry: He needs a lot of food because the light drains a lot of energy. This exacerbates the issue of hyperthermia, making it very hard for him in the summer days. Generally speaking, he needs to eat about twice as much as the average human, but he can’t eat larger meals because his stomach is still normally sized. This means he generally eats six or seven full meals a day.
    
  • Combo’s are killers: The two above combine so he could literally faint in the middle of something if he didn't eat enough and was using his powers too much. If this were to happen he would collapse, his body temperature would drop significantly and his light would dim until it is nearly invisible.

Naw... Salem's one of those guys that I got really bored one day. Decided how awesome it would be if he could be a master forger... and a side effect he has is regurgitating ink. >O>
EDIT:: Also, tentacles. :I

Tattoo queen of Brazil is coming up soon!


If anyone in school wants to pay her some shady money and skip a class to get some sick tat's or piercings, call her up.

 

[TerraBooma]

xD are they really good tattoos?

 

[Lemon Boy]

Yyyesss, she was regarded as one of the best in Brazil before Special forces stormed her living area for uh....reasons. < _ <


She was named "Black Maria" and "Saint of Tattoo's" back there. She's becoming quickly popular in Baltimore as well.


That and she takes immense pride in them. Insulting her tat's will quickly see you being assigned on her "Cover in a bunch of crappy tattoo's whilst they sleep" list.


However, insulting her Tattoo's or just tattoo's in general will make her give you a bunch of shitty, horrific tattoo's all over your face whilst you sleep.

 

[ViAdvena]

I can manipulate my own bones

If the character is the slightest bit perverted I can see a barrage of innuendo that will come with this.

Clothing manipulation (thank you Rarity)

@Manic Muse's character would love this.

The Knights of Raguel are a small group of domestic terrorists who have been capitalizing on the historical anti-super sentiments

Alas, not the kind of villain that Michael and Gabrielle would support then. Seems that they will join force with others against this one. Perhaps this is what people call 'token evil teammates'

 

[Lemon Boy]

Here's how it's going so far!


Just need some of that sweet history!

  Notes
  
  She ain't called the Queen Of Tattoo's for nothing back in Brazil. Not a single piece of her body is untouched from her artistic touch of inking and each tattoo she has is in a constant state of flux as a result of her abilities. Alongside this, she has quite a few piercing in her lips, beside her eyes and ears among other area's of her body.
  
  
• Heart of Balance
  
  
  Kisumi treats everyone "fairly" and equally. If you act like a douchebag to her and everyone else, she'll probably treat you like one and have a sleeve stuffed with witty remarks ready to fire when you come walking her way. A nice person will be treated as she treats everyone else, favouritism and the like will rarely sway her opinion's unless she really likes you. You'll never be looked down upon and you can keep dreaming if she'll look up to you. Everyone is equal in her eyes.
  
  
  The Mind of an Artist
  
  
  It is a rare and unique day to find the woman without the drive or creative thought for something new. She's often bustling with idea's and even the most dismal of descriptions or equipment can be worked with. Patience is another key thing of hers, she'd be a pretty crappy tattoo artist if she didn't have the patience to sit down and slowly apply the tattoo to someone.
  
  
  Queen of Satire
  
  
  Simply calling her "cheeky" would be a vast understatement. She's known for her dry, sarcastic humour that's sharpened to such a keen edge that a diamond would stand no chance against her words. Her general cockiness shines, though this seems to even outshine out the sun when you talk to her about art; especially tattoo's. Sass is also something that runs deep in her blood that only the most foolish could dream of removing.
  
  
  Child of Diablo
  
  
  Being raised by the most prominent and dangerous crime lord in Brazil can have their tendencies rub off on you one way or another. The lack of respect is clear, but so is her cold indifference in witnessing the death of other's or performing immoral actions that teeter on evil. She seems to find amusement in the misfortune of other's and unless you're a specific friend of hers, she'll often have a surprising lack of care for you in general. Oh and the dark jokes can be slightly upsetting or disturbing to the more faint of heart or sensitive. It isn't advised to hang out with her if you're more of the....cute, kind, naive little muffin of the school.

• Ink Manipulation
  
  
  Kisumi can generate and manipulate the liquid, Ink. You're probably thinking something along the lines of "Oh can she make a badass spear?" or "Can she make little cute dogs?" yeah, no. She has a very basic, rudimentary type of ink manipulation and she can simply move it about or do more simple processes with it. However, when dealing with Tattoo's it's another story. She can turn a tattoo of a group of birds into a ball of flame on her arm or a mermaid into a black horse. You need that regrettable tattoo fixed and made into something better? Now that's something she can most definitely do.
  
  
  • Tattoo Manifestation: The Main eye catcher of her abilities. Kisumi can manifest any tattoo on her body and this works in beautiful unison with her ability to change her tattoo's on a whim to create a surprisingly versatile ability. From sprouting three pairs of blackened seraph wings on her back, creating a sword or making a pack of wolves, if she can make it, she can use it.
    
  • Tattoo Generation: Though she rarely utilizes this on herself given she's already absolutely covered and can simply change them on a whim, she often uses this on customers who are more pressed on time or just impatient douches. She can even generate "tattoo's" on other surfaces such as walls.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  
  
  
  • Water: Get a big old bucket of water and splash her with it; Ta da her powers have been washed out and disabled. Though her tattoo's can take on traits of weapons, such as sharpness or durability they are still inherently ink. Slap her with some water and her powers are rendered void.
    
  • Rain: Not as outright disabling as water, but it can get annoying. Rain can often force her to have to constantly "reinforce" any constructs from her tattoo's so they don't fall apart.
    
  • Focus: To maintain her tattoo's she needs a fair bit of focus. Distractions or large amounts of pain can quickly make them fade back into her skin whilst constructs generated will fade in the form of a black mist into the wind. The more / bigger something is, increases need for focus.
    
  • Creativity: Imagination is the limit! Though aided by her creative mind, she can quickly get stumped on what to actually use or create from her Tattoo's. If she can't think of something, it won't happen; simple.

Astral travel is a natural fit too. Maybe you could 'discover' it as a supporting power?

I wanted to do tentacles, actually! But I wanted to do a power with it it and has trouble thinking of a good match.
Then as I was reading I was like "how dare no one has laser vision!"


Flight would probably be my next char.

Or usable as stilts!

 

[D. Rex]

BOTH! (Tentacles with sky hooks)
Or usable as stilts!

Tempting! But that was back before I had a better understanding of what the rp was like. Though I have been recently inspired by by the less is more comment and might want to have fun with lesser powers and keep it simple.


Say her arms are tentacles, without any supporting powers (maybe some increased strength if I am feeling frisky enough to rip a man in half). All the fun I could have making things complicated by not having opposable thumbs. Like operating a smartphone. Trying to open a juice box. Creeping people out by randomly touching them. Maybe pretending to be spiderman and swing around on them. Trying to drive. And whatever humorous situation I can find myself in. (And definitely stilting around on them) Maybe be part of the underdog D class!


However. I might make an S class, at some point. But if I do, with all his epic world breaking power, he will be a happy anticlimactic janitor.

 

[D. Rex]

Hey guys, the discussion of distance had been brought up for Lady Deathstar's blarple beam.


Now we know lasers can travel pretty darn far, but I did mention in the CS that it is not technically a laser. Do you all think a mile or so for the range before it dissapates would be too OP? Or perhaps any opinion on the beam?

 

[Gus]

I will spare you the research links, unless anybody really wants them, but I started with 'Gaussian Beam' on wikipedia and went from there. There is also interesting stuff in the links on foveal vision. I think I could get you a better answer if I spent the weekend digging, but here is a spitball answer from about 45 minutes of noodling around and back of the pizza box calculations:


If you want to punch a hole through concrete in about 1 second of looking, you need about 700 KW/m^2 and the size of the focus of your vision goes from about 1 cm diameter at half a meter to about 5 cm at 10 meters. The upshot of this is, it depends on what you mean by 'dissipate' If you want to be able to punch a hole through a concrete wall at a distance of 10 feet or so, you'll need to produce about 3.8 MW/m^2 at arms length. That will punch through almost any real world material, so anyone standing in your personal bubble when you open your eyes is pretty much f'd. That would spread out to the same wattage as sunlight (200 w/m^2) at about 2000 feet, which would stop you from knocking planes out of the sky and such. (though it would make a good signal flare for search planes) At 50 feet you could still get through a wall, but you'd have to hold your focus for a count of about '2 Mississippis' and the hole would be about 3 inches in diameter. At 500 feet, the impact for each second of 'look time' would be similar to that of a small caliber bullet, but spread out over about 2 foot diameter circle, so probably non lethal, but good for bowling folks over or whatever.


This is not meant to be definitive, as I fudged some things, and also because it is not a laser. But if you want enough 'oomph' to get through a wall, and you want it to come from your eyes, this gives a pretty good approximation of what that would look like.


If you want to punch a BIG hole in a wall, instead of just at your visual fixation point, you'd need A LOT more power, and it would also dissipate over a much much shorter distance.
