[Aldur]

Forty-two alerts while I slept.

Hah! Beat you! I got 106!

 

[yoikes]

@RemainingQuestions Just when i thought Mitch could show off by copying someone else's power right away... Oh well xD

 

[welian]

I'M STILL GETTING ALERTS WHILE LOOKING AT MY ALERTS OMG

 

[Swoob]

looks like the perfect time for the recruitment drive to begin was when i accidentally missed the alerts for this and left for the conference


anyway


the conference is over and im officially back, hopefully there'll be a noticeable difference in my writing. If anyone wants to talk to me about any stuff I learned from it or how it went feel free to tho i don't expect it


I most likely won't be able to really get back into action until 2 or 3 pm or so when i arrive home, but I'll start getting to all my obligations asap and if anyone who hasn't got their verdict send weli, frixz and me a pm of their cs that would be wonderful c:


is there anything else I missed?

 

[Aldur]

is there anything else I missed?

No, but I missed you :3

 

[ManicMuse]

@Suzuki Mine


Love the character. I suddenly want several trouble makers to attempt to play spin the bottle with her!

 

[Lemon Boy]

Would anyone like to pre-plan relations with my Little dreamer seeing he's been attending for a fair while now.


I don't personally plan to post until the timeskip, but I'm more than open to relationship discussions and all!

 

[TerraBooma]

Morning! How're people doing today

 

[Necessity4Fun]

Well, I wanted people to check the parts I just wrote of Kendrick's CS but, I might PM it anyway as soon as I get home :33


I'm currently at the bus, wasting cellphone battery xD 12%

 

[CloudyBlueDay]

AHOY. I am official. Praise me.

 

[Swoob]

missed u too aldur and everyone else as well


with the coming influx of characters i am also open to relations too

 

[Necessity4Fun]

@TerraBooma forever referencing to Kennith and Kendrick as 'K Team' xD


Why the sudden influx of K letter characters, I wonder :33


I'm being random and still wasting battery >.<

 

[TerraBooma]

@Necessity4Fun K team BEST TEAM


it's pretty simple


also yaay I'm official now

 

[ViAdvena]

So many people of Mary's age. Let's go to school together! 8D


@Swoob you know, I have a silly rumor about Eden's hair that I never get to use...

 

[TerraBooma]

Kind of curious about something, now that we're accepted should we post now or wait for the class timeskip thing I've heard some people talk about?

 

[Teh Frixz]

Go where you wish or hold off. I just dumped Tabby off in Political Powers

 

[Sopranos]

Oh okay thanks everyone, I'll do a little adjustment with Laurent and I'll probably remove one of the two superpowers

 

[Swoob]

So many people of Mary's age. Let's go to school together! 8D
@Swoob you know, I have a silly rumor about Eden's hair that I never get to use...

i must hear this rn

 

[ViAdvena]

i must hear this rn

It's super silly that only a child that believe in fantastical things would believe that- oh wait...


@Manic Muse Isabella and Mary need to meet ASAP


Kidding but really, it would be interesting if they do with Eden in sight

 

[Gus]

@Sopranos[/URL]
His secondary power doesn't really seem to be related to his Main power at all and I think secondary powers are always meant to tie into the main somehow. So, personally, I would suggest changing it into something that actually relates to his main power in some way. It kind of sounds like you're trying to mix in Enhanced condition with Pyrokinesis, which aren't really linked in anyway. So I don't think Welian would really allow that.

I agree in general that there should be a connection between powers, but there is precedent for this. Dante turns into a fire flinging demon hulk like thing when he gets angry, so Laurent strikes me as more or less Dante's little brother (power wise)


I would point out though, that while Thor is marginally less strong than superman, they are both clearly in S class territory. Class A is maybe somewhere in the range between Captain America strong and Spiderman strong. Hulk, Superman, Thor, Abomination and similar are all poster boys for S class.

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.

  Notes
  
  A pink heart underneath her left eye.
  
  
• Amicable
  
  
  When not finding a way to dig her claws in and drag out what she wants from a person, Sarka is overall a rather friendly gal who can get along with folks. She's a bit laid back, easygoing and is up for anything that sounds like a good time. Normally it doesn't take long for her to gather a little circle of friends wherever she goes - if she's not with one already.
  
  
  Flirty
  
  
  Be it playfully or for real, it's hard to tell with just how often Sarka makes some kind of suggestive comment - regardless of gender or authority. Most of the times, if someone is able to get a bead on her intent, they're a little too deep and she's already begun spinning her web.
  
  
  Mischievous
  
  
  Sarka likes causing a little bit of trouble. Much of the time it's harmless pranks played between her and her social group. Her favorite kinds are more power intensive, which can sometimes result in some rather nasty (but quite amusing in her eyes) situations.
  
  
  Sly
  
  
  Sarka plays a graceful game of chess wherever she goes. In her mind control is the ultimate power, and if you can move a few pieces to the right position, that control will be absolute. For this, the end justify the means. She's not one who cares to sit right at the top though. Sarka's rather content at being a shadow queen and watching everyone else squirm in the spotlight. When she's lost interest in them, she tosses her pieces in the flashiest of ways and moves on to the next match.
  
  
  History
  
  
  COMING SOON...
• Other Character's Name
  
  
  Description of relationship with said character
• Lie Eater
  
  
  Sarka has the ability to draw out and nullify lies and secrets. If she's able to kiss an individual on the lips, she can pull a secret from the person's memory. The longer the kiss the longer she gets to search, and once she pulls it out the person loses possession of the secret. Also, if someone attempts to speak a lie within the same room as her, she can "eat" the lie and leave the truth behind. She can activate either of these abilities at will.
  
  
  
  
  
  • 
    Preemptive Lie Detection: Sarka can detect when someone is going to lie, allowing her to act in time to "eat" it as it's being said.
    
  
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  
  
  
  • 
    Verbatum: Sarka can only "eat" lies when they're being spoken. If someone tries to write out a lie she cannot nullify it.
    
  
  
  
  
  
  • Lying Eyes: The lies that Sarka can nullify from individuals are restricted to those within her sight. If she cannot see the person she cannot strip away the lie.
    
  
  
  
  
  
  • Truth Drunk: Taking in a secret or "eating" lies affects Sarka in a similar way as one is by alcohol. She can handle a dozen or more throughout the day, but Lord forbid if she were to try and get a compulsive liar to tell the truth.
    
  
  
  
  
  
  • Deep Diving: If Sarka pushes too hard in trying to find a secret within someone's memory, she can actually lose her sense of self and potentially slip into a coma. So far the longest she's dared to "go under" has been half an hour.
    
  
  
  
  
  
  • Good Will: Individuals with stronger than average wills, as well as those with psychic barriers can fight back against or completely resist the influence of her kiss.

[/QUOTE]
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.

 

[Sopranos]

Well, I'm kinda working on it, just a few questions. If you rated 6 pts of strength, how strong you really are ? Or rated 7 points of Agility ? Examples would be nice too.


Thanks

So your conference was a creative writing conference? I, for one, would be very happy to hear more about that. But could do a conversation if you'd rather...

  Independent: One thing you can know for sure that Laurent doesn't like a crowd. He doesn't like to make friends and tends to solve his problem his own way, with his own hand more than has to rely on someone. But this also isn't mean he wants to make an enemy out of anyone.
  
  
  Pride: People say that pride is Laurent's huge weakness, but of course he doesn't listen. He sure has more than enough confident in his ability and isn't bothered when someone say something different.
  
  
  Serious: Laurent is indeed a serious man, he takes every moments serious . You won't see him as the type who crack joke around or hit on women just for pleasure.
  
  
  Impatience: Laurent isn't the calm and gentle kind. He can get reckless and violent easily when provoke. This is also a deadly weakness of him.
  
  
  History
  
  
  Laurent has never in his life seen his real parents, he was adopted and raised by a bar owner in New Orleans. He enjoyed his life there, it wasn't much but it was simple,. He was taught martial art, taught to play the Saxophone, to mix drink,... It was his home, and he couldn't be more grateful to the man who had raised him. When he was an adult, Laurent was a Jazz artist and he was in a band, everything was fine to him.
  
  
  Until a day, when a group of mobsters stepped in the bar, they wrecked that bar up, beat up everyone. Laurent was no exception, outnumbered, he was beaten to almost a certain death. But their target was his adopted father, they shot him in the head as Laurent was lying in pain. This was the first time his superpower revealed. He was shock and in pain, as he shouted out for his father, Laurent started to cough blood, so painful that he thought he would died... But then the most horrifying thing happened, he stood up, like a living corpse, gave out a deadly look, walked toward these mobsters. They were scared, shot him with a gun. The bullet went through his body, but he kept on walking despite the bleeding hole, like it didn't matter anymore. They tried to throw a punch at him, Laurent caught it, and with a tiny move, he broke all 5 fingers. What happened next was a total massacre, one man died due to blood lost by a wound from his neck, it was like being torn apart by hands. One was burned to the worst death. When the police came, Laurent was the only one alive, he was fainted among all the others corpses.
  
  
  After this incident, he was revealed to be a Super and sent to the Facility 108 to learn about his Superpower.

  Berserk: When he experience a shocking event or to be provoked, Laurent starts to lost his mind and his alter ego takes control of his body, known as the Wild Laurent. In this form, his eyes glowed, he can barely speak, and Laurent is a completely angry, sadistic, wild beast. He will attack anything or anything that in his way, friends or foes. Also in this form, his strength, agility and resistance are remarkably enhanced.
  
  
  • Unlimited: Without his sense of pain or safety, Wild Laurent won't feel pain even though if you shoot him with a gun, stab him with a knife. Therefore, he will keep going up for the fight until he is calm, unconscious or dead.
    
  • Enhanced Strength and Agility: In this state, not only that Laurent is stronger, his reflexes is also greatly increased. Hand to hand combat with him would be extremely difficult.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • Weakness 1: Though he is stronger, faster and tougher in Wild Form, he is also more vulnerable in combat since he does't have any sense of pain or safety anymore.
    
  • Weakness 2: With the right emotional manipulation, you can control Laurent quite easy. To calm him down from Wild form or just provoke him into a weapon of destruction.
    
  • Weakness 3: When return to his normal self, as all his sense return, also his wounds. This is Laurent's one of the most vulnerable moment and can lead him to a certain death.
    
  • Weakness 4: Also, he can be stopped if you hit him strong enough to knock him unconscious, use emotion control ability to calm him down. OR...or if you can and feel oddly sadistic, just chop a limb off him, that would do the trick... well if killing is too simple.
• 

So I remove the pyrokinesis power and fix "Berserk" a little bit. What do you guys think ?

I think the point of the nine point scale is to keep it very vague. The story is meant to be detailed, but the combat system is not. We're not here to organize an arm wrestling contest. That said, my understanding is that 1-3 is the range of normal humans. So 3 could dead lift 1000 pounds or so. 4-6 is super human. What that means is a total guess, but I would put Cap at about a 4, since he is reputed to be able to dead lift almost a full ton. Spiderman, on the other hand can stop a train (though only just barely) so I reckon that is at least a 5 or 6. 7 to 9 is into wtf territory. Hulk and Superman and Thor and Thing would probably be a nine (in my opinion) So seven or eight would be like Strong Guy, Luke Cage and Colossus? I am just a random (somewhat elderly!) comic nerd who has only been in this RP a couple of months, so I have to stress that I really really really don't know. @welian or @Swoob or @Teh Frixz would be the ones to answer this question definitively, but it might not be high on their to do list, as they are busy making the world run and such. (as well as writing!)


So this is me trying to help out, but maybe dead wrong. (Hope I am not overstepping my bounds as a player to try to clarify.) All I really do know is this: my faculty character "Solo" is rated at 9 for strength, and he is literally a living singularity. He needs to exert forces on the order of 10^27 pounds (over 400 septillion) just to stand up and walk around. That is utterly ridonculous, and I am pleased that I was trusted with that kind of power, and I plan to use it very, VERY carefully indeed. S class can break the world, one way or another, and A class can be almost as dangerous. If he can pick up a truck, but not much more than that, I would think a six was reasonable.
