OOC Discussion

[ManicMuse]

This is strange, I can't find any information about limiter (beside the one in overview) x_x does someone know where it is?

Oh oh this one I know! Setting and then in ranks. It breaks down limiters.

 

[Sopranos]

So... can I be an A ? Why all of the student can be a D and they have to work their way to A or even S ?

 

[ViAdvena]

@Manic Muse yass thanks!


@Sopranos from what I know ranks aren't decided by skills, it's decided by the potential destruction that can be caused by the power. So one can't jump rank unless their power get reclassified for whatever reasons.


Eh, the starting point is enough to make A rank, so I don't see why not.

 

[yoikes]

So... can I be an A ? Why all of the student can be a D and they have to work their way to A or even S ?

Not really. My character Mitch is B ranked, with the power to copy other people power. She can be as strong as an S rank, even if it's just for half an hour

 

[TerraBooma]

So I've gotten the idea of Astral Projection as a power, but I'm just wondering what kind of rank it would be?

 

[ManicMuse]

So I've gotten the idea of Astral Projection as a power, but I'm just wondering what kind of rank it would be?

All comes down to how destructive it could be. How are you thinking of applying the power? How dangerous is the power?


I would think it would be at least middle range. Due to the fact that if the character is well-versed in their powers, they could get into some very secure places without much effort.

 

[Sopranos]

I'm planning for a power that can "silent" other power, disable other ability for a limit of time of course. It's okay right ?

Yes, nullifying ability is also accepted

 

[welian]

Limiters might have been discussed in the Q&A thread.

 

[welian]

Okay, FINALLY on my laptop - it never fails to amaze me how all the questions rolls in AFTER I've gone to bed! It seems that I forgot to add in a few details while I was updating everything yesterday. I apologize, I'll go back and fix that.


EDIT: Maybe I should have made a wiki for this world after all.

As long as it's limited, but you may want to come up with a different power for your first character just in case. It can be difficult to have a power that affects other people's powers without coming across as god-modding.

So I've gotten the idea of Astral Projection as a power, but I'm just wondering what kind of rank it would be?

It depends on how it works. If the character can't project more than ten feet away from them, it would be a D rank, since that's not very dangerous. But if you're talking about someone who can go anywhere, then that's a major security concern. Then we have to take into account any limitations, such as how long the projection lasts and how far it can stretch, and so on.

So... can I be an A ? Why all of the student can be a D and they have to work their way to A or even S ?

There is no experience or leveling up in this roleplay, Vi is correct. What rank you're assigned is what rank you'll likely have for the rest of your life, as powers rarely change - and even then, it's usually due to a catastrophic, traumatic event.

[QUOTE="Manic Muse]Where is the rank break down for the CCPs?

[/QUOTE]
It's in the Character Sign-Up thread, under "Additional Characters".

no what I mean is "is there any limit of rank for student character ? What is the highest rank can a student be ?"

Technically, you could start off as an S-Rank student. In-universe, it's not impossible and in-story, six points is enough for one S-rank character. But as a GM, I want new players to avoid that because I feel shooting for the most powerful character right off the bat is boring and stifles creativity.


Have I missed anyone's questions?

 

[sorrow made you]

Hey! Mary isn't mean, she is actually a real angel. Just ask Emma :v
Tbh I do intend her to be a trolling young lady.

I wish I was tagged ;;A;;

This is one of my favorite power actually Someone in Mary's family might or might not have it

 

[yoikes]

And i finally finished Dominic's CS. Critics & comments are welcome.


I'm not really sure if his power count as a D, or should be placed as an S because of the destructive potential it held. As for the weakness, i'm planning to add one or two more points to weaken him even more.

Bastianelli, Dominic

• 
  
  
  Courageous (Positive)
  
  
  Dominic is remarkably courageous, still jumping head first into danger despite knowing how dangerous it is (situation wise and circumstances wise, as in jumping in to stop a fight using his power even if the only available power source are S ranked people). This courageousness of his is one of the few things that earned made him respected by many people.
  
  
  Risk-taker (Neutral)
  
  
  With his dangerous reckless decision, comes the risk and the risk taking. Even if he might end up bleeding to death, Dominic will do what it takes to stop a battle as peacefully as possible.
  
  
  Dominating (Neutral)
  
  
  One of the reasons why he got the 'Dominance' codename. Dominic has a domineering aura surrounding him, with his deep commanding voice and how he's not afraid of making and maintaining eye contact with whomever he speaking with.
  
  
  Careless (Negative)
  
  
  With the recklessness and the risk-taking, comes the carelessness. Dominic, especially before and in-fighting, is very reckless. He still belief that the stronger he is, then the better it is which resulted in him absorbing as many power as possible and push his limit almost all the time. Not just that, he tends to underestimate his enemy because how confidence he is in his own strenght and power.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Dominic was born in Naples, Italy, to a family that runs a famous pizzeria. He’s helping the family century years old restaurant by helping in the kitchen though he mostly help by delivering orders. When he was 18 years old, he delivered several boxes of pizza to a government building that currently hosting a meeting between AEGIS staffs and an Italian minister for a talk about opening a training facility. The moment Dominic set his foot inside the building, he bled out of every hole in his body and dropped the ground. He is very lucky, for one of the AEGIS staff who attended the meeting has healing ability.
  
  
  After finding out what he is and what his power is, Dominic is required by the Commonwealth to attend their newly opened training facility in Italy. His family is devastated to know that the only son in the family will not be continuing the business, but Dominic managed to convince his parents that his sisters are an even better cook than he is.
  
  
  Years later, he graduated from the Training Facility and received his Blue Card but he decided to stay as a part of Aegis, as he noticed how the cafeteria rarely sells good appetizing food. Aside from that, he also opened a branch of the Bastianellis pizzeria in America and quite a celebrity chef.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  Rosa Bastianelli Dominic’s wife for twenty years and 42 of age whom he met during his years in Aegis Training Facility, a C-rank with the power of healing where she can only heal wounds of other. Moved to America with him, and now runs the American branch of Bastianelli Pizzaria. She handle all the management, while Dominic act as the head chef.
  
  
  Callisto Bastianelli Dominic’s daughter and Dante’s older twin. She is 16 years old. Just as mischievous as her twin brother, but she understood her position as the older sibling and never try to pull a prank that crossed a line (Like that one time Dante throw a pie on Dominic’s face). Eager to take over the family business, she planned to study in university after graduating and not interested in applying for Blue Card (despite her parent suggestion that she should have one). Has activated her power, has a B-ranked power where she can enchant someone else’s power. Assigned to Training Facility 106, together with Dante.
  
  
  Dante Bastianelli Dominic’s son and Callisto younger twin. He is 16 years old. A trouble maker since a child, his favourite phrase is “Double the trouble!” since he mostly causes mischief with his twin sister (who 60% of the time got dragged into his plan). He sees Dominic as his role model, and he wanted to be someone like him in the future. Has activated his power, has an A-ranked power where his ability is described as ‘absorbing the damage dealt by the enemy and use it to power himself’. Assigned to Training Facility 106, together with Callisto.
  
  
  ---
• Power Absorption
  
  
  Dominic power allows him to enchant his physique, making him stronger and faster and allows him to heal himself faster, by tagging other superpowered persons as his ‘power source’. The more he tagged, the stronger he is. However, his body has it’s own limit.
  
  
  ---
  
  
  • Supporting Power A: Enchanted Physical Condition: The power allows him to enchant his own body condition. As in, enchanted durability, enchanted endurance.
    
  • Supporting Power B: Super Strenght. The main feature of Dominic’s Absorption ability is Super Strenght, thought how strong he is exactly is going to be affected by the people he tagged. He could be strong enough to lift and throw a car or stopping a train, or strong enough to punch through a building. He could also jump a large number of distances, and would appear as if he’s flying.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: Because his power is entirely depended on the number of people he tag and designated as 'power source', how strong he is completely affected by these people. How strong they are (adding the number of their Aspect especially the Strenght aspect, the rest come as supplementary). He only needed to touch them once, and when he is depleted of power he needed to touch them again.
    
  • Weakness 2: Dominic is in constant danger of over absorption, to make it worse he doesn’t know his exact limit yet (Around 15 Strenght point, and he still could push a point or two). All he know that when he started absorbing overcapacity, he will start bleeding and maybe even coughing out blood which will result in incapacitation or worse.
    
  • Weakness 3: Dominic is called ‘Battery’ for good reason because his power is literally is. Dominic likes to explain his power by giving an example of an empty battery that needed to be charged with power. To charge it, he obviously needed 'power supply' and that is the people he tagged. If the supply is too much or too strong, the battery could explode.
    
  • Weakness 4: Like a battery that always plugged to a power source, Dominic could ‘heat up’. Before he overusing his power, he needed to stop and cool down for about an hour. During this time, he is depleted of power and should not absorb more power for his own good.
    
  • Weakness 5: Dominic’s limiter MUST be on in all time. If it turned off, his power will unconditionally absorb any power in a radius of 5 meters which will put his life in danger. At most, he could only hold out for 3 minutes.

[yoikes]

This is one of my favorite power actually Someone in Mary's family might or might not have it

My favourite too! In fact, Mitch almost had that power if i didn't notice that 95% of the time my superpowered OC always has that ability

 

[Lemon Boy]

Decided to go with a different character entirely.


He's nearly done, I just have to do his negative trait, History which shouldn't drag on too much and then find a nice theme song.


Critique would be appreciated if anyone has anyone theme songs i could use for him, i will eternally love you

• Dreamy
  
  
  Kyle always comes off as a rather tranquil and soothing person to be around. Be it the soft way he talks or looks at someone, he can quite quickly reassure someone or bring peace to a situation. He possesses a kind, tender character as well and is quite the opposite of a harsh, critical boy. It would be a unique and weird sight to see him in a situation where he isn't the kind, calm one.
  
  
  Patient
  
  
  He's the type of person who's willing to wait a thousand years and then some for someone to complete something without the hint of complaint or annoyance. This also extends to other people as well, for he can quite easily bear or get used to people who have a streak of annoying him or acting as a general pest to just about everyone they get their hands on. Making him angry or start to complain truly makes you a special specimen.
  
  
  Calm
  
  
  Never yielding under extreme pressure or showing even a tinge of panic, Kyle always remains composed and level-headed no matter where he is or what situation he's experiencing. You can almost always rely on him to go ahead and pacify a group of friends who's running around screaming whilst flailing their arms about. He'll be the one standing there with an unmoving expression and trying to make everyone chill out for just one second.

• Dream Manipulation
  
  
  The realm of dreams and sleep is his domain. He can absolutely manipulate dreams perfectly, shaping the world as he may in his mind and shape everything as easily as clay. A side effect of this is that he is an incredible lucid dreamer and can perfectly recollect what happened in his dreams, unlike others who forget nearly all of it within the few minutes they wake up. Kyle can also communicate with others by dream walking and suddenly appearing in their sleep so he may talk to them through their dreams. In the mind of others, Kyle can suddenly turn their peaceful dreams into a horrific nightmare or vice-versa. However, It should be noted that despite holding absolute dominion in the realm of dreams, anything he does to the person won't actually happen in real life. Beheading them will probably make them panic and wake up with a cold sweat, but they'll still have their head.
  
  
  • Sleep Inducement: Kyles can induce immediate REM sleep on himself or others. However, When inducing sleep onto himself Kyle seems to remain fully aware of the environment around him E.G If he were to make himself fall asleep in class, he would still be able to perfectly hear and see everything. This only extends to himself and not others.
    
  • Dream Manifestation: Whilst dreaming, Kyle can bring things from his imagination in sleep into reality. He can manifest a swarm of arrows that go zooming towards their target, a rain of spears to fall from the sky or a group of knight that will try and protect his sleeping body.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Sleeping: To actually make use of any of his powers, he also has to be sleeping. Alongside this, he is left extremely vulnerable and once you get past his manifested defence's, he won't be able to do a thing.
    
  • Focus: Despite sleeping, he does still need to keep his mind set on the task. Constructs and the like can quickly fall apart or fade away in a black mist if his sleeping form is disturbed or he gets distracted.
    
  • Mental beacon: As a result of high brain activity whilst sleeping, Kyle is a massive target for those who may attack him mentally such as Telepaths. He also seems to be extra vulnerable to their attacks.
    
  • Touch: To induce sleep onto others, he needs to actually get within distance of them so he may touch them. He can't just look at you from a few metre's away and make you fall asleep.
    
  • Waking up: Making himself wake up is a difficult task and may take him around five-ten minutes to do it. Even if he's aware of what's going on around him, you won't see him suddenly jumping up.

@too much idea


I personally think he'd be most definitely ranked an S.


Supers are classified on how much potential danger and destruction they can bring and given your descriptions, he sounds pretty damn dangerous if he's allowed to tag more than a few supers at a time.

 

[Zahzi]

@too much idea


Profile looks nice. Welian would prefer no real-world pictures, though. That's probably the only issue I see with it, besides some spellcheck stuff, but that's not too problematic.


@St Indigo


Profile is looking good too!

 

[TerraBooma]

Thanks for the answers @welian and @Manic Muse


So what would make more sense for the range? How far they can go in an extreme case or how far they can normally go? I've been thinking of making a D-C rank character, so would 10 feet be the limit or simply their comfortable range?

 

[welian]

There's no definite answer. Just focus on how you want your character's powers to work, we can decide later what rank would suit them best.

Very cool concept. I like it. Suggestion for negative trait that fits in with the other three: vague or vacant. The down side of dreaminess might be a bit of lack of focus on the present moment, which could definitely be a problem, both as a student and as a potential vigilante. Just a thought. Alternatively, grouchy or snippy might go along with the bags under the eyes thing.
