MonsieurShade:P Can you give me a example of what he can do with both his physical augmentations as well as his sound blasters Everyone else: I put a list of characters who are still here in the character side, tell me if I missed anyone

Sure thing, possible wall of text incoming: There are a set of speaker-like sound emitters similar to that of a sound cannon built into the palms of his hands that can emit and extremely wide range of sound frequencies that range from too high for a person to hear, to about 154dB louder than the amount of sound that is hypothesized to be able to kill a human being (200dB). The sound he produces is not enough to be fatal itself rather the bulk of the damage would come from the intense pressure, vibrations, and force generated from the emitters. The sound waves he produces travel in a sort of conical pattern with most of the intensity being lost as the intended target is farther away or outside of the cones (in other words, if you're far away or even a few feet behind him you'll still hear the sound but you won't be damaged because you aren't being subjected to the other forces at work). His body itself has been built to withstand a good deal of the stress thanks to his father's augmentation during his surgery, swapping out the original aluminum prosthetics that his mother made with ones made from a titanium alloy. Most of the bones in his upper body and nearly all of his organs are now artificial, some of them implanted because his original ones were damaged, with others being implanted to avoid rupturing or breaking upon activation of the emitters, only his brain (which is protected by a plastic polymer dome) is still organic. Now for the issues with his body; because the weapons he was equipped with were experimental, he can't just go all out whenever he pleases as his body hasn't been specifically tailored for just that task, meaning his prosthetic arms can be damaged by sustained loud noise emissions (hence his field repair kit). tl;dr- He could theoretically shatter a sheet of tungsten carbide with a strong blast, and could walk away from a beat down from a guy like mammoth, however both situations would leave him in need of repair.

Okay let try to get this right as I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. His blasters have the capability to kill someone, more if they are all in the same area, pretty much instantly and no real way to you know... survive it unless they can some how move fast enough to dodge sound waves. This raises another question how far is too far for it to not kill a person? Moving on to his body it is basically made of recyclable parts that he can interchange? There is no real risk of him being injured now is there? He basically only needs to do a quick patch up and he is good to go. Not to mention you just said he can shatter a considerably dense and durable metal as well as get pretty much be torn apart by a Supervillain like Mammoth and be able to walk away from it. Sorry I'm just concerned as there is no real limitations I can see in him as well as he basically has instant kill switches built into his hands...

Good god, 354dB? The level is sound would be insane. Guns and rocket engines reach 170-180dB. The level of sound would be greater than 1,000,000,000,000,000 times that (for every 10dB the level of sound goes up by a factor of 10). That would rupture organs easily and if you survived forget ever hearing again.

Sorry I'm just concerned as there is no real limitations I can see in him as well as he basically has instant kill switches built into his hands... I understand your concern, totally myself for going further in depth with him. His blasters don't go from 0dB to 354dB, I plan for there to be a build up to maximum output, and leave the decision for how long it'll take to you so it'll be fairer, and while it is tricky to avoid getting hit, it can be done as the sound extends in a conical manner. For the sake of avoiding becoming OP, i'll say that the range at which the sound is still considered fatal when he's going full blast is about three meters and he can only sustain it in short bursts before it begins to damage his augments (we'll say about seven seconds), the flaw being that the speakers aren't big enough to have a large range like that of an actual sound cannon, and one has to be within that conical shaped range, other wise it'd just be an extremely loud noise now that one isn't being subjected to the other forces like pressure and vibration. As far as his limbs go, the kit isn't meant to let him switch out parts, rather keep them functioning at the bare minimum (i.e. being able to move his fingers and pick things up) after receiving partial damage to his limbs, were as serious damage such as the blow out of a speaker would require a longer period of time to acquire the proper equipment and actually repair, were as the kit is nothing more than a patch job. The kit also hinges on him having at least one functioning limb to do the patching, so if both limbs are damaged, not only is he defenseless, but if he can actually escape, he'll not only be in need of outside assistance for repair, but he'll be unable to do the most basic of tasks such as feed himself until his fingers and arms can at least move. Against a strength based super, Dimitri flat out has no chance going hand to hand as his arms are built to endure a fair bit of damage but do not augment his strength in any way. And i'll admit I might have come off as OP by saying "walk away", the better term would be "he would survive the beat down", though he'd still require extensive and time consuming repairs that he himself may not be able to do after the fight. -- EDIT I also forgot to mention that just because Dimitri has the power to kill someone, doesn't mean he's willing to do so outside of a life threatening altercation. He's still a kid after all, and with the exception of child soldiers (that have been that way their entire life) or children with mental disorders, I can't imagine a kid would do something that drastic just because they can. Also, although Tungsten is hard, it's quite brittle in composition (in truth I wanted his harms to be made of the stuff, but again, brittle, not to mention hella heavy).

Indeed it is, but again, the emitters he has are small, and won't even come close to covering the range of a true sound cannon, not to mention he receives damage as well. Think of it as a glass cannon of sorts.

Holy crap numbers! I had no clue that it was that strong... It may just be in a small area that is some seriously out there sound you have to admit, I mean louder than a rocket launching off?! Despite the ay it is released I still find it nearly imposable for anyone to be able to dodge his attacks because as far as I know sound waves are pretty damn fast, the speed of sound is roughly 770 MPH I think. I am willing to let the body thing slid as from what you said it seems he isn't stronger, faster, more agile, etc. than the average person because of it. ...I really like the idea of the character and I do like to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to OP concerns... I will like my Co-GM Wave's thoughts on this again before I give a final verdict on this if that is okay with you Shade.

I assume you are going for a similar device to Cyborg's White Noise Cannon (Sonic Cannon). For its capability we would have to assume it is well above 200dB. This is a fictional type universe so I suppose it would be a matter of what would happen if he fired it at somebody? Obviously Cyborg doesn't insta-kill his opponent under most circumstances even though it should.

I'm completely fine with you taking the time to review my sheet. Thanks for giving me time to work out the kinks and discussing the character with me rather than just saying no :) > I assume you are going for a similar device to Cyborg's White Noise Cannon (Sonic Cannon).

Dimitri's body however will not be nearly as strong or high tech.

Well if it is like Cyborg's sonic cannon... Just don't go over board and I will be glad to have you on board :)

Understood! -- So, in order to avoid conflicting with the current flow, might I be made aware of current events? Also, how would you as the GM prefer I enter the RP? Would you prefer Dimitri having been within the current class or late?

Jin is odd. She doesn't use her powers in everyday life, but suddenly having them not there at all... well, it's like having one eye covered and walking, or trying to write with your non-dominant hand. Your perception is all weird... Your brain throws all kinds of signals out and some of them are wrong.

I think so, go ahead and make a character sheet. Never hurts.
