He's not talking to himself, he's talking to air :D
 
Side adventure? I was planning on making a post that gave Cyrus the potential to follow the sewer group later, but I could always discard it if time travel would be preferable.
 
Time travel sounds pretty legit for a power.


So does messing with time (controlling it)...


Although I doubt it'd be accepted unless the drawbacks were AWFUL.
 
That kinda defeats the purpose... (Plus how would you even know you have it?)


How about every time you use it a year of your life goes away? And the lifespan is like... 80 years? 70? Idk...

Yes, a side adventure. Shura gave us our own thread (because we're so speshul) to post in until character leaves the sewers and joins the main thread again. I'm planning on typing up a post that involves the military so that I could expose Jenny's meta human status and bring some action. However, it's just an idea. I'm looking for opinions from the other people who are involved.

Ability: Time travel.


Limitations:

  • Cannot time travel with more than two people.
  • Must be wearing a space themed clothing article.
  • Can only time travel if the weather permits it.


Drawbacks:

  • Horrible migraines for an extended amount of time (depending on the amount of time traveled) after returning back to present time or staying in different time period for more than 24 hours.
  • Only living tissue can go through time (*cough cough* Terminator *cough cough*) so clothes are absent.
  • Overuse of power may cause sore throat, fever, internal hemorrhaging, and/or death.
  • Heart is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any minute.


Mutation: There is a clock in the palm of xir hand.


Too bad time related powers were banned if I can recall the rules properly. Haha!

Oh, now that's cold. Badum tsst!
 
Ah sorry... I wasn't sure if @Lucem Tenebris was going to join the main group and spy or stick with the sewer group. I only moved posts up to a certain point because @DamagedGlasses started posting with two characters in the same post. It was only the last 2 pages of posts that really went over.


 
Yeah time related powers were banned because it made everything confusing and weird. The person I had playing it did a great job of not making it OP but it was confusing in an RP where people were paired off. I dont want to think about it in a setting where everyone is grouped up
 
@Darth Pai, I enjoy the second idea. Penny is getting hungry, and I am trying to stall her from eating your characters, but you're all making that so hard >.< Haha, but regardless, if Jenny does ever introduce herself, that is when I am going to have Penny remember some things.

That was a joke?

The ticking time bomb heart sounds weird...


And my initial idea was their life would slowly drift away.

I'm... I'm confused... with what you just said...

Darth Pai said...? Shura means that she once had a roleplayer who did a great job at playing a character with a time travel power and not making it over powered but it was confusing to keep up with. It would be even more confusing in this roleplay since everyone is grouped together.
 
Confusing to keep up with how? I mean, if they travel to a different time, which, let's say, is a few minutes earlier while a group of people are walking by, and they interact with that group, in the future, they pop up there.


Confusion...?


Fails to see confusion
 
With multiple people posting, it gets confusing with what's happening, what time it is, what has happened, what's going to happen, and what's going on in the first place. It's easier said than done especially if the time traveler posts that and the other character is interacting with someone else and confusion starts. There's more reasons that I'm sure Shura has to ban time traveling, especially with a group of characters this big.
 
...


I'd say that if the person with the time power posted what time they were in, it'd lower the confusion.


Just... Just one question.


"The time traveler posts that and the other character is interacting with someone else"


What...?
 
Haha! I'm sorry, it's a bit late where I'm at and my mind is focused on studying. What I meant was that if the time traveler posts a reply that contains time travelling context and interacts with another character who is in the present (or the past where the time traveler is), it would be difficult for the roleplayer of the character who is in the present. xD


Think of it like this, you and I are both already confused on the topic of time traveling by simply discussing it. Imagine roleplaying it. Haha!


Though there are ways that could work, Shura does have her reasons and if she decides to remove the ban then why not? :)
 
How would it be difficult for the player who's in the present?


I think roleplaying it would be fine, it's just your context was off.


The ban removal sounds okay because now we're using names and places where we are. The time traveler can say "Past, a few minutes ago" or "Past, back when ____ happened" and "Present" n' stuff. (Future doesn't sounds possible, it might spoil some plot ideas...)
 
I do see your point but I also see Shura's point since she has had experience with it and now she has a bigger group to handle. Were you thinking of creating a character that had the time traveling ability?
