Before I give a final verdict on this one, I just have one question. Is there any particular reason you chose a 'mysterious energy' over say 'light'? I feel as though all of your abilities could be accomplished using light and hard light manipulation. Bending light to allow for invisibility and creating hard light for forcefields. I would find it a bit more tangible than a 'mysterious energy' personally.

Marcus will be joining at the start of the RP, probably get into trouble, too, he's good at that.

To be honest, no. There was no particular reason for putting 'mysterious' but only describe that the energy she manipulates is invisible and unseen. I probably should have taken it out. I didn't plan on the energy to be revealed as anything bigger or anything.

I tried to stay away from Light because I didn't want her to be mistaken for someone that can create light constructs and light energy attacks like Dagger or the Green Lantern. If anything her energy based abilities are more on the psionic side and not by controlling light if that makes any sense. Probably not. I'm a little on the slow side.

I'm not sure how Emory will work along psychic types; I hadn't really considered it until it was brought up, but he doesn't really have a brain. (He's much like his creator, in that respect...) But whilst he lacks a brain in the traditional sense, he is still very much a sentient being that thinks, feels and the whatnot; it depends on how Minerva types work - do they interact with the brain, or with thoughts themselves? If the former, Emory may well be immune to psychic-based attacks.

Speaking particularly about Lucas, however, that raises further interesting questions, since his psychometry is touch-related. Emory's slime form is considered organic by my own terms, but it's also not a 'known' substance, it's unique to him. This makes me wonder whether he'd be immune to Lucas' prying touch, or whether the opposite would be true: would touching Emory act in the same way as touching an object, but with far more efficiency? Since he would essentially be coming into contact with a substance that had its own mind and thoughts, rather just ingrained memories.

I don't have a particular preference and I don't think it ultimately matters; the relationship between our characters promises to be an interesting dynamic that I'm really looking forward to. I'm just sort of tossing ideas around and raising questions, because I'm an antagonistic provocateur at the best of times and an [insert unsavoury words here] in the rest.

Perhaps @Lord Wraith has an opinion on how Em and Lucas/psychics in general would work.

While I can't answer for any other Minerva types, as I'm not sure about the brain thing, I can answer this as concerns Lucas. Yay for that fact. lol

As an organic that is, technically, not created by humans or shaped by them, Emory would not come across as an object to Lucas, much like any other living thing. He'd leave impressions and emotions in other objects though, same as everything else, from what I gather, but with the occasionally strange oozing sensation which Lucas would never have considered combined with emotions before. Though, for the most part, he'd leave much the same impressions as any other human.

The main reason Lucas would be surprised, upon first meeting Emory(and probably numerous subsequent times), is due to the fact that he isn't wearing actual clothing or shoes or whatever. As he's made all of that out of his own slime, it is also organic and not a man made object(at least, that's my take on it, given as I don't get the feeling that he's creating something out of the slime, just shaping it into the appearance of... If I'm wrong, whoops, but good to know).

So, since everything Emory's 'wearing' doesn't count as an object, it would come across to Lucas as completely silent. Which would be very weird given as he would be looking at things that ordinarily give off some sort of memory. And presumably he'd also be able to touch them, feel that they seem exactly like every other bit of cloth or shoe out there, but they just don't have any memories whatsoever. That would definitely be something that catches Lucas' attention without fail. Though Emory would have to pass within 10' of Lucas first.

I'm very much seeing invasion of space happening on Lucas' side of things. :P

Sorry, Busy with school. I should hopefully get a CS up tomorrow perhaps, depending if there will even be open slots until then.

Whoo! Also, pretty sure the slots in the character tab are only stopped at ten because Lord Wraith got tired of writing them out. Going over ten characters does not seem to be his concern.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

That all makes a lot of sense, I like that approach. Thanks for explaining it; I feel that the characters will have a particularly interesting dynamic; Lucas unnerved by Emory's apparent nonexistence, Emory by Lucas' ability to easily unearth the secrets he's kept over the last five years. I'm very excited about him meeting Lucas in particular.

i feel sorry for the possibility of lucas touching one of Anthony's contructs. imagine all the jumbled up memories. lol

@Tyler They'll certainly wind up making impressions on each other, and both entirely unintentional, too. Haha, I've always loved that moment when characters just wind up staring at each other all uncomprehending of the other's reason for staring.

Oh geez, yes. That'd be one confusing conglomerate. Not only because it's combining memories from multiple different places, so like double, triple the input, but also cuz if the parts are all taken from machines that had their own individual functions and were well used, he'd be remembering bits and pieces of work and interaction that would make no sense with the new machine. Like, someone using a pencil as a hair pin but ten times more complicated.

Ooh, hey, completely missed that there was a post in the IC up now. Whoo! Can we start posting? Or, still waiting to get more people?

Also, is there going to be a list of major NPCs for reference? I know I've seen Serena's name in a few apps and possibly in the OP, but, y'know, I like lists, and they're easier to look through.

I believe we're supposed to wait until we've a full cast. The last I heard, @Lord Wraith was going to post a second entry IC - as Zeke, rather than NPCs - to initiate the story's development. Perhaps we ought to wait for his clarification before making any moves.

EDIT: I also second that a list of important NPCs with brief bios would be beneficial to everyone, myself included.

You could make some minor changes and go straight Minerva and actually use psionic powers. Becoming invisible by blocking yourself from being registered by other minds or then you'd have other possibilities down the road too.

No worries. While ten is a comfortable number, I'll be continuing to look over character sheets and accepting any I like.

Yeah I was going to hold off for a bit more and then make a post as Zeke to officially kick things off. I just had some time earlier so I typed that post up.

I can definitely start a list of notable NPCs though.

Yeah that's too complicated. I was just trying to be simple with the old fashioned Invisibility/Force Field combo. I didn't want her to be a Minerva because that will stray away from what I envisioned for her. Being just mentally invisible isn't as effective as regular invisibility at least not to me.

I'm just trying to be creative and create a new type of energy instead of having her powers stem some light bending or Psionic powers. Apparently its a thing now according to Powerlisting. You're not letting me live Wraith, goddammit.

But I might just change it to where she can use energy to bend light but not create it. Probably sounds less complicated.

I just like things grounded within an extent so if I can steer you away from 'mysterious energy' to light or psionic energies I'm happy.

But uh your answer didn't actually affect my verdict. I was planning on accepting the sheet all along lol.

Aren't there quite a few energies out there that actually are invisible? >.>

And I'd definitely appreciate a notable NPCs list. Especially with one or two sentence bios, to give a quick idea what they do and how they might interact with the PCs.

Actually, I had a thought concerning Lucas making himself useful, and I don't know how much Serena actually needs the help, but he might stick around her just in case. That, or just doing whatever anyone tells him to, really.

EDIT: I tweaked it anyway. Now stop being a cocktease and give me the okay to throw my shit in the character tab.

Don't fling your poo into the character tab. That would be nasty.

@Heathen Accepted :P

There's numerous energies that are invisible, sound is among the first that comes to mind.

Honestly I haven't fully fleshed out Serena just yet (so doing the NPC bios will force me to do that), unlike the other NPCs Serena is new to this RP, the others have appeared in the Vigilance Universe before.
