Yes but that would be the way I choose to use my ability.

But doesn't that undermine the whole point of the one "person, one power" rule a bit then?

In a way, yes, but I want one power because I want people to be creative and tactical with their one power. I think it would be more interesting and exciting that way. But, since some of you are so hung on the idea of multiple powers, I would not mind you guys having multiple powers so much as you keep things interesting and exciting. Plus I want to take feedback and opinions from you guys so I can make this, well we can make this a fun and enjoyable roleplay for everyone.

 

[SP3CT3R]

God, my character is so edgy.

 

[SP3CT3R]

Actually, sorry for double posting but I'm getting second thoughts about my character and I need opinions.

Should I

A) Make a hair manipulator who can grow quills and shoot them to give people allergic reactions

B) Stick with the edgy boi, who has a ton of weak and kind of edgy powers because he was experimented on but is stuck in a straitjacket forever

C) Try to double (Emphasis on try)

I agree, I think that'd this RP would actually benefit more from a one power limit than having everyone running around with half a dozen different abilities.

My issue, however, is in the way that limit is implemented. Because the way it functions now, it doesn't really encourage people to pick one power and use it creatively but rather to pick the vaguest power you can think of.

What powers do the edgy kid have?

Thank you for your feed back. If you'd like, we could go to DMs and discuss further how I can better implement the limit?

I vote A because I've never seen that in a superhero rp!

 

[SP3CT3R]

What powers do the edgy kid have?

His "true" power is some kind of power copying/absorbing, but he can't use that because it requires use of his hands.

The powers he acquired through it are (at the moment):
•Teleporting small objects - Short range, works better when people aren't looking.
•Self-contortion - He's not mister fantastic, but he can rotate his head 360 degrees, flatten against walls, and some other stuff with some time and unpleasant crunching noises.
•Astral projection - Only when asleep. He can possess things that move.
•Avoiding detection - He can make people not notice him, to a limited degree.
•Hallucinations - Exhales a gas that induces them after enough exposure. Can control what people see and hear.
•Feral mutation - Has sharp teeth and claws.

It's kind of in the air right now, as that's six unrelated powers, but he'd probably still get squashed in a fair fight.

You can make teachers.

 

[Flame Demon]

since shadow manipulation and darkness manipulation are the same should I put it both down, I also wanna add more details to the power description so I kinda have to know

 

[SP3CT3R]

I thought B was cool but I guess it's just 3edgy5me. cant believe im saying that in 2019

 

[Flame Demon]

I edited my character to explain her powers a bit more

Just a heads up, you're probably gonna need to change the wording on your character's power explanation since aDistraction has confirmed that magic isn't a thing in this setting.

 

[Flame Demon]

It's not magic

 

[UnusualYak]

It's not magic

Right, but when you say things like "One of the bonuses of having dark magic is that she can see in the darkest of places to she won't get hurt should she accidentally make an entire room pitch black" when explaining the ability, it might come across as being magical in nature.

!!ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I have decided that there will be one power but an application of that power. For example:

Power: Gravity Manipulation

Application or specified ability: Enhanced Combat

Application or specified ability explanation: User utilizes gravity manipulation with their physical combat, reducing or increasing the effective weight for their advantage or changing the direction/magnitude of gravity.

And throughout the roleplay you can come up with creative ways to utilize your specified ability.

Tell me if you need help understanding.

 

[Flame Demon]

He has a point.

That is because I have had characters with dark magic, so that kinda went on autopilot, sorry fixed it.

However I don't reallt understand the specified ability/application. Isn't that like limiting us to one thing only?

Your power is darkness manipulation correct? If so, what I mean is instead of having all the abilities that come with darkness manipulation, you have one specified ability/application that you get creative with and make your own such as, generating or projecting shadows, or being able to adapt to dark environments, or solidifying or giving solid-like properties to darkness/shadows.

I don't feel like there are many powers that can be very creative, but I can try

 

[Worthlessplebian]

The specification of powers.... if I say my specification is aerokinetic combat (fighting utilizing air) is that too broad of a specification because it can do everything from enhanced strikes to projectiles or do I need to specify further?

 

[Japanime]

Let's use solidifying or giving solid-like properties to darkness/shadows as an example. Some ways you can get creative with this is generating extra body parts, such as arms, legs, mouths, eyes, etc., on yourself, others or any other surface, form armor around your body or a shield made from darkness/shadow for protection, make tendrils, etc.

I think that would be ok.
