I updated Adam, and Amanda's power sections, detailing what they're capable of with their current powers. I also added something about an ability Shannon could learn. I'm definitely pushing the fashion/aesthetic power angle for her.

Ah, thats right, I also added a tidbit to my character's strengths: reading his mind when he's thinking faster than normal could be strenuous. If he's really thinking, you could be trying to take in 10 minutes worth of thoughts in a few seconds.

What effect that has on a telepath is up to the writer :|

Ok, you're a telepath. You're reading people's thoughts as they happen. That girl is feeling pretty uncomfortable in her boots. That girl wants to blend into the wall like a ninja. That guy wants a damn burrito damn it. You feel pretty smug that you know what these peeps are thinking.

Then there's this one guy who is thinking things much faster than everyone else. If you are going to figure out what he is thinking, you're going to have to unwravel 10 minutes worth of thoughts in a few second. What effect does this have on you? Do you get some feedback? Does it take more energy to figure decode his thoughts fast enough? Does it have any effect on you at all?

I'm fine with any of them, but I'd like to know :]

I imagine it would probably result in a very loud but incomprehensible burst of static whenever he does that. I'm guessing he doesn't really spend more than a few seconds (hours) at a time slowed down, so it would most likely result in him thinking like a normal guy most of the time, with occasional jump-cuts which make him skip over to a completely different train of thoughts. Memory readers could probably decode what happened by analyzing him for some time, while thought readers would just get confused at his sudden shift in focus, unless they also have extremely enhanced intellect, in which case they might catch a word or two.

But I'm not really a GM, nor the writer of a telepathic character, so it's not really my place to say, I'm just throwing that out there.

That's about what I was thinking as well. It would be like listening to an old cassette on fast forward. Just a big jumbled mess until you slow it back down.

Yeah, I agree with the other guys. It won't really come in handy since we have like one character capable of Telepathy (And that would be Deborah, it's a limited/weak form that requires an object someone owns).

*considers making his character a telepath, then discards and saves the idea for later*

Personally, I've only ever made one telepathic character, and that was in an extremely collaborative environment. A lot of my other characters with powers have been of the arena-usable sort, and telepathy in a competitive combat scenario is extremely iffy and generally not well-suited to a fair fight.

That said, it would certainly be an interesting challenge trying to write a character with a power like that. Especially if you're trying to get other people and characters to like them... Lol.

Dang it, now I want to try. >_<

I actually think it could be quite fun, and I am not just saying that because I have a character who's main power is essentially just being immune to telepaths... <_<
It needs a bit of OOC cooperation between writers to use to its full extent, a bit like Red or Deborah, but it could work really well.

The idea I have in mind wouldn't really be a telepath in the conventional sense. It would be a much more grounded variation than just "I can read minds!". There would be reasoning behind it.

And interestingly enough, I'm uncertain as to whether it would work on Saila... That would be a terribly interesting thing to actually write out.

Truth is that I want a telepath to enter Red's mind just to see how he would describe the vast memory Hall of his. Although it would take an extremely capable telepath to not freak out with all the data in his head.

Yeah, that should make for a fun episode to say the least... xD
Posted for Daniel. I should have a post up for Saila relatively soon. It will involve the group with Deborah in it, so I'm expecting a rather interesting reaction... :D

Edit: The disappearing ninja post does it again! >:[]

I once had a character in the previous incarnation of 218, who could perform psychic feats through psionic apparitions that only he was able to see. His connection to them allowed a form of telepathic immunity, in that if anyone tried, the apparitions would sense an invader and start screaming and screeching into his head (and thereby affecting the telepath as well). This happened once. Both characters were squirming on the ground crying and screaming for it to stop as their ears were bleeding.

Man, good times.

Hello! I know that the board says open, but I'd still like to check. Are you still accepting? Because I've been looking for something like this.
