OOC Discussion

[Gus]

Eve has speakers/subwoofers on her arms. She can replace your concert speakers if need be.

Might be worth noting her speakers might take the building down...

So far, this is what I have. I don't have a History section yet though.

• Personality Trait 1/4 (Positive)
  
  
  Ada is generally laidback and fun-loving. Obviously she considers "Finding" things fun, and may very well end up giving the "Found" item as a gift to someone else. She doesn't mind if she doesn't want the item. Making Ada mad is pretty difficult to do, they tend to stay nonchalant about insults and the like.
  
  
  Personality Trait 2/4 (Neutral)
  
  
  She's quiet depending on what's going on, sometimes not saying anything for an entire day if nobody is around to talk to.
  
  
  Personality Trait 3/4 (Neutral)
  
  
  Ada keeps secrets well, and can be seen as deceptive by some. Others think she is trustworthy, since she can hold on to other's secrets so well. She has her own secrets as well, and may not even tell her closest friends about them.
  
  
  Personality Trait 4/4 (Negative)
  
  
  Ada is a bit of a thief for one, she knows quite well how easy it is for her to steal things and have them never be found again. The respect for other people and their property can seem nonexistant at times, and she'll likely need some sort of life changing event to ever start caring about others.
  
  
  History
  
  
  ---
• Other Character's Name
  
  
  Timmy. (Poor boy, got stuck in a dimension. At least he got back out.)
• Main Power
  
  
  Ada has a pocket dimension. Sounds simple enough right? She launches 3 small metallic looking projectiles towards a target, they make contact, and bam. Teleported to the pocket dimension. The wisps while under the limiter, may take anything 7 foot and below. They have a range of about 100 feet (A nerf guns range.) while under the limiter. (Without the limiter has yet to be decided... Don't wanna be too ridiculous.) She can pull the item out of the dimension, either physically or by warping them out. Inside the dimension kinda looks like a space view of the Earth, but with an invisible floor. Can be a bit disorienting on your first entry. She herself can be put in the dimension, and pop back out where she was or 50 feet away. The projectiles may go through a fragile enough object if willed to. (Glass, paper...)
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: She has the ability to add a "Stun" effect to the warp. Basically it adds your typical disorientation. Nausea, visual spinning... Lasts 20 seconds with a limiter.
    
  • Supporting Power B: Slightly higher abilities than a normal human. Until you get to intelligence and willpower, and then see a spike. She's just a bit better overall.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: She's nowhere near immune to anything really.
    
  • Weakness 2: She can be harmed when outside of her dimension.
    
  • Weakness 3: The projectiles may move fast, but can be dodged if your reflexes are good enough.

Nifty concept. Not sure if that is how the limiter works, not what I had pictured at least. I just now found the CS, previous comments were on the commentary. I misunderstood the units, though I am pretty sure somebody said meters in there somewhere.


Seems like one dart would be simpler? Just limit the size of the 'portal field' the dart can generate. Another possibility? Maybe just limit the size and mass of what the pocket dimension can hold at one time. Something about the size of a minivan say? So you could hold one minivan or about 10 average people. Maximum weight of two or three tons? Then to grab something else you might sometimes have to clear the current storage. Also, can things get lost in there? Can a person hide amongst the junk and ambush the next thing to come in? Quite a lot of interesting design space, and definitely the best submission so far (apart from maybe the hive) seems like she could easily be C or even D class though? It is a very cool and versatile power, but the enhanced stats seem like an unrelated tack on to me.

  Notes
  
  N/A
  
  
• Compassionate
  
  
  Not in terms of buying flowers or anything, but if someone is in trouble even if it goes against what he believes in. He thinks it is awful to not help people, especially if you have power. Might for right. He won't outright show it and most people wouldn't expect it.
  
  
  Scepticism
  
  
  He believes that there is always something more then what is shown. Sometimes can be seen as a bad or good thing. Hard to trust people, but good at finding things out. This trait is really what makes him a good detective. People react in different ways think he is either crazy or resourceful.
  
  
  Quiet/Introverted
  
  
  Owen likes being on his own. He can function in a crowd and can talk, but he would prefer being on his own. He won't go and talk to someone and if some approach him he will be defensive at first. It takes a lot to break through this. Most people will just ignore him because of it.
  
  
  Anti Authoritarian
  
  
  Won't and can't stand for any sort of government or ruling power and will do anything in his power to stop them. Extends to people who support and/or work with the ruling party. Even though who are submissive to them Owen views as not fighting back and giving up. Most people are apposed to this viewing him as crazy or paranoid.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Owen grew up in the suburbs. Nice home nice family. Dad Scott and Mother Ann. He sees them every once in a while. Owen grew up as a quiet kid, but a smart and tough one. He loved his westerns as a kid an still does. The heroes with no name roaming the land. Plus those detective films. Using the mind to stop the bad guy. Later one even he finds out he has superpowers. What could be better.
  
  
  Yeah being stuck in a government program by the demands of the people. Some other kids with powers had be causing issues around this time. He hated it. First of he was told he was class D. Great confidence booster. Always answering back. Always starting fights with other kids who said he should be 'happy and get over it'. Still the best way to get is to play by the rules. He is becoming good at hand to hand and gymnastic. Working of the stress. This 'Zen' focus thing that should with the supposed teleportation power is okay. He'll pass, Hopefully.
  
  
  He's gonna take down AGEIS. From the inside. The other students won't help him. There fools. Still he can't risk getting caught. Caught for what you ask? . Like the lone cowboy against the whole gang. When he gets out he might become a P.I. as well. That sounds fun
  
  
  Creating a feature less mask he could now use those powers of his. He will fight those in ruling and control. They have to be up to something. When he finds out what they will know fear.
• Scott Wright
  
  
  Owen's farther. The man kept his son going through his training times. Has been respect full of the powers and of his job. They still watch a western when Owen comes around for old times sake. Doesn't know about the Smoke Spectre
  
  
  Ann Wright
  
  
  Owen's Mother. She loves her soon with all her heart but will kept him on the straight and narrow even if it means a good smack. Has always supported him and always will do. She tried to get him out of training. She doesn't know about the Smoke Spectre.
• Smoke Control
  
  
  Owen has the ability to control and generate smoke. He can manipulate an area of smoke around him or make it travel along a set path. He can make it appear around someone. He can move smoke that is already there. The smoke cannot cover too big an area.
  
  
  • Limited Teleportation: This power can only be done under two stipulations. He has to completely focused for at least 5 minutes. The teleportation can be anywhere in a ten mile radius but the longer the distance the more focus required.
    
  • Immune to smoke: He can also see through the smoke he projects as well as breath through it without coughing.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Psychic Vulnerability: He is very substantial to attacks of a physic nature. Mostly due to his obsession with taking down AGIES,. His memories are also an excellent weak point. Manipulating these elements could cause a break down.
    
  • Ranged Opponents: Though very agile, Owen has a hard time fighting ranged and mobile opponents. He prefers unarmed hand to hand combat. His smoke can't take out opponents but give only distract them, giving him time to plan his assault.
    
  • Psychical Vulnerability: He maybe trained but he does still have the same needs an shortcomings of a human in physical terms. A good bullet will kill him. A good punch will lay him out. He can drown, suffocate, break his bones and the other lovely weaknesses a human has.

[SirGrey]

Hey sorry about re-posting this for the fifty millionth time but @Swoob said I needed to do something along those lines. I don't know I missed alot.

 

[Aldur]

Might be worth noting her speakers might take the building down...

They have adjustable intensity.

 

[Swoob]

@Swoob @Teh Frixz or @welian
Is it possible for me to go back and add something to my app? I thought of a potential weakness for Joel: Since thermal detection/technology is based on rendering infrared radiation into visible light, I thought it would be more apt for Joel to "feel" IR at a much stronger degree than regular humans rather than see colors (inside his head), since we normally perceive IR as heat anyway.


I'd change the wording to reflect heat detection and remove references of literally seeing IR.


Additionally, hypersensitivity at this level means he either needs a specially-designed suit (made by AEGIS) or he's at risk of passing out from heatstroke.


edit: It'd make more sense to change his ability name by this point, too, whoopsies.


--


If it's too much hassle, I can roll with what I've got. I just figured it's early enough that there hasn't been any contradictory information presented IC yet. (That or the thermal imaging could be a common misconception of his powers anyway.)

I mean, that'd be ok up until the specially designed suit part, i mean is it truly necessary?


also, it goes without saying that powers can be refined and mastered (I mean that's what these training facilities are for) but as for them changing in the actual rp, the general answer is "no" with some small reservations (@welian would be the person to go to for that answer)


@SirGrey can you PM that to me, welian and Teh Frixz please? Also, he looks kinda old to be 17 (if you're worried about keeping him a student, there are 27 year olds who are students)

 

[welian]

Hey sorry about re-posting this for the fifty millionth time but @Swoob said I needed to do something along those lines. I don't know I missed alot.

No need to apologize! We ask people to post their profiles over and over, especially when revisions are being made, and/or the OOC is moving super fast.

 

[Aldur]

@welian
Eve's in Angel with A Shotgun, but she has classes to assist in teaching. Poor Aaron wouldn't survive a day with those beasts...I mean youngsters. Could it be that she could have had the day off but she chose to go to work instead and use that day some other time?

@welian


also, slightly off-topic but I need this in my life.

@too much idea @TerraBooma Once again, I botched your tags in the announcement...

Hold on, I am confused. I thought Angel With A Shotgun was already posted for... uhm...


Okay.

 

[Captifate]

I mean, that'd be ok up until the specially designed suit part, i mean is it truly necessary?

Haha, not at all. It was more a suggestion on my part. But thank you, I'll slip in those edits.

 

[Bag o Fruit]

@DJ MagicHat you gave @Sopranos nightmares!! xD

xD No sweat @welian , nbd

How does this look? I think I forgot to change something though...

  History
  
  
  Remember that kid? What kid? That one kid who always made her way over to the unattended lunchboxes at recess? Yeah, that was Ada. As a kid, she was already a thief. Either she was a pretty darn good one, or nobody bothered to look, because not once had she gotten caught doing so. (Cough Cough, I did this for a while back in elementary...) It had been a couple years later in Junior High when she finally discovered her ability to warp objects... Or rather a person.
  
  
  Ada had been part of the newspaper club, as well as a gossip spreader in the school. She used her power for the first time in JH... Resulting in 3 boys being scarred for life. The whole issue was caused by Ada telling the truth about the star of the team using steroids, essentially getting him out of a scholarship and the team, and that was the least that could've happened to him. Unfortunately for her though, the star's friends didn't take so kindly to her inability to keep quiet about such a thing. Luckily, they didn't get anywhere near what most would call a "Group Pummeling, as they never even got past pushing her around. It was about 10-15 seconds after they had their fun before 3 of the 5 members had disappeared in what one of the boys described as a "Compression". (It isn't.) The other two had already backed away and taken off at this point, claiming for Ada to be some kind of monster.
  
  
  She didn't really know what happened at the time, and it took a whole day to get the unfortunate souls back out. Afterwards, she was sent to be tested fully, as it was completely obvious that she had been the one with the powers. They had deemed Ada a C class, and gave her a level 1 limiter as a result. She didn't like this very much, as she liked her ability after all. She considered it more of a blessing than a curse, but they said they couldn't have her dropping people from roofs. She now attends AEGIS TF 108 as a "recommendation."
• Other Character's Name
  
  
  Timmy, Jared and Gil. (Poor boys, got stuck in a dimension. At least they got back out.)
• Main Power
  
  
  Ada has a pocket dimension. Sounds simple enough right? She launches 3 small metallic looking projectiles towards a target, they make contact, and bam. Teleported to the pocket dimension. Why three? For heavy objects. Only 1 would be needed for an average male. The wisps may take anything about the weight of a minivan and it's occupants. (2.5 tons to 3 tons.) For the time being... They have a range of about 75 feet. (A nerf guns range.) She can pull the item out of the dimension, either physically or by warping them out. Inside the dimension kinda looks like a space view of the Earth, but with an invisible floor. Can be a bit disorienting on your first entry. She herself can be put in the dimension, and pop back out where she was or 50 feet away. The projectiles may go through a fragile enough object if willed to. (Glass, paper...)
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: She has the ability to add a "Stun" effect to the warp. Basically it adds your typical disorientation. Nausea, visual spinning... Lasts 20 seconds.
    
  • Supporting Power B: Slightly higher abilities than a normal human. Until you get to intelligence and willpower, and then see a spike. She's just a bit better overall. She needs this due to what she takes sometimes. She needs this because of all the things she takes. Some things are a bit heavier than others. Her willpower to keep doing what she does is higher in comparison to a human, but you do need quite a bit to keep a pocket dimension open don't you?
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: She's nowhere near immune to anything really. Bullets, punches and everything else still hurts and can kill. She may be slightly better than a human, but not to the point where she becomes Superman.
    
  • Weakness 2: She can be harmed when outside of her dimension.
    
  • Weakness 3: The projectiles don't move at the speed of a bullet, but they do move fast. If your reaction speed is on point, you have a chance to get out of the way.

[Captifate]

@Crimrose I was hoping to see a nod in her history as to why she's a kleptomaniac.


Also, weakness 2 implies that she can drag someone into her pocket dimension and kill them where she can't be harmed. Not exactly a weakness.


What is a wisp? Your wording in your app didn't acknowledge them as the bullets which is just a guess.


Can people escape the pocket dimension on their own? If it requires her say-so, that's veering into godmode.


But yeah, explaining in her history why she's both an impulsive thief and showing signs of antisocial personality disorder is important.

 

[Crimrose]

Being antisocial is a disorder? Man, I must have it too.


Why she steals? Just because it benefits her. I mean, I didn't have a reason back then either. I don't do it now, but in elementary I just did it for the cookies.


A wisp is just a projectile. I have a picture in the gallery. There's nothing super special about them.

@Captifate

Then mention her greed in her personality section.


If a wisp is a projectile, why not simply call it a projectile? People would know at a glance what you're referring to. If you can describe something in words without having to rely on a visual aid, it makes you a better writer.


Antisocial personality disorder is not "anti-social" in the sense that someone doesn't care to chat with people or go out or be extroverted. It refers to a lack of compassion for others and a lack of understanding as to why certain behaviors are morally wrong. Your app was worded in such a way that she doesn't sound entirely well-adjusted. Might just be the lack of info and me filling in the gaps, but you'd want to elaborate (in your app) so others don't get the same impression as me.

 

[Crimrose]

I already said projectile in the profile.


"She launches 3 small metallic looking projectiles towards a target, they make contact, and bam."


No, I was just wondering if that was actually a disorder. But yeah, that's how I had her planned out to an extent. Considering I tend to not care about those I don't interact with.

 

[Necessity4Fun]

@welian Since you're not responding on Skype, here goes my silly-important question~


If Kendrick brought a backpack to the Commonwealth HQ tour would it:


a) Still be with him;


b) Have to be stocked into a locker, close to the entrance;


c) Be left on the transportation vehicle (If there was any kind of field trip bus... If there wasn't ignore this option)


d) Be somewhere else I haven't thought of...

Not sure what exactly you mean with that but, I think it's a no so,


It's definitely in a locker then?
