Oh, wow, you really did deliver on this one. I think you explained her powers really well - on that note, pretty interesting! I don't know if I've personally seen a character that utilizes traveling through tree roots, hah. I dunno what to say besides I love her! Her family history/relatives make her feel a lot more fleshed out and easier to get a grasp on, if that makes sense. Awesome sheet as far as I can tell.


One thing - and you don't have to answer if you don't want to - did Laurel have a surrogate mother, or was it a 'natural' birth (for me forgetting a probably more fitting term)?


Maybe one more, and maybe you answered this before: why'd she dye her hair green if she's not very interested in using her powers? For self-confidence? Fresh start at Aegis? Haha. Or maybe just family encouraging her to take pride in it?


edit: Oh, duh. Something I overlooked: I think being able to carry objects through roots should be delegated to the secondary powers section as well.

Lol it was a natural birth, her MaDa has essentially a simplistic version of shapeshifting. He can mimic the appearance of other people - by which he changes his body entirely. So I guess it could be technically both - as he would have appeared to be a different person throughout the pregnancy.


And the hair is more because her MaDa had a thing about matching her appearance to her powers ( her other siblings all have to dye their hair similar elemental colors ). Laurel likes the color and honestly it wasn't worth trying to argue about it.


EDIT - thanks for the tip! I'll move the Transportation in a sec. Heading home now so got to close my work station.

@readingraebow - I like the overall feel of your character, the powers seem a bit odd. The teleportation thing with the roots is interesting, and in a city such as Baltimore, I'm not sure how many trees would be readily available for you to use?


Also - you said you were teleporting 50 meters then it would take 10 minutes? This brought up two questions:


1) You could walk the 50 meters and back multiple times in 10 minutes


2) What exactly is happening in those 10 minutes that it takes you to travel the distance?


I think the root system idea is really solid and just use that with instant teleportation (no mater the distance) would work fine? Also, with teleporting objects, I like that the more weight you are trying to teleport, the less effective the range is (although I think there should be a minimum of 10ft otherwise, whats the point?) Idk, just a few thoughts I had :)


Overall great job!
 
Well, say what you want, but @readingraebow 's character? You can leaf it up to her to get to the root of the matter. Even if the possibilities branch out, she will never bark up the wrong tree.

lol yeah that was a typo, i had meant to say a minute. which is still wrong i just hadn't bothered to look it up and just pulled numbers off the top of my head. in truth it would probably average out to be seconds to travel between trees and the total time lag would only show up if she was running through multiple trees back to back. which in an urban setting would be fairly unlikely.


and yeah in an urban setting her powers are virtually useless but i went with the power because i liked the uniqueness and because it's kind of a quintessential D rank power.


it's not meant to be super useful that's not the point. i mean not everyone has to have a power that translates into a combat ability or is even especially useful in day to day life. that's not how powers would work in a realistic world, i mean just because mutations exist doesn't mean they'd all be super awesome abilities that will make fighting super easy.


plus it's not like the power has no uses. in a rural setting or as a wilderness search and rescue team she'd kick ass. because she'd be cover a lot of ground fairly easily.
 
@Dano and @crackedbat : updated the powers. mom got off early so this is about all the computer time i'll have tonight. if you see anything else that needs fixing let me know and i'll update it tomorrow afternoon.

Add one more weakness, to make it three. Then you'll be good.

HALE, LAUREL
Awesome job! Accepted on the first go of course, it probably helps that you've been sticking around and helping others.

s-so ;_; a-am...i...you know...accepted?
Whoops! I accidentally scrolled past your app the first time! Sorry about that, that's completely on me. I went back and read Ben's profile - don't sweat too hard, you did fine. All I want you to do is write down one more major weakness. You've already got the fact that he needs to have metal to work with, and that his secondary powers ruins his eye. Those are two very good, very solid weaknesses. When you've come up with a third one (and we're all more than happy to help), tag me so I can see.

Thanks, I did take some of the previous criticms into count. It also helped that I worked out stiff in my head a lot before I typed it up.

Q_Q please do help me, i cant think of a third one atm. My brain is dead
 
@Sagitarius Hmm why not something like electrical interference? Both your powers could have adverse effects on your environment, frying nearby gadgets or wiping computers.


Alternatively you could have something that shorts you out, like getting to wet while manipulating electricity will make your powers fizzle.
 
Oh my god, school why you do dis.


@readingraebow wow, Laurel seems awesome. I feel like she'll get along well with Seiko for the most part.


Good job!
