I dunno, I think the fact that he has to be playing his violin sort of limits it by default, although perhaps the effect breaks quickly once he stops playing?

That's true, but still, two powers tho
Edit: But damn don't take my word for it, I ain't the GM!

Can my character have two wangs?

@Angel Eyes

Between slowed perception and violin playing. I can't have both, it would be overpowered

There is nothing to choose between. Playing a violin isn't a power, its a skill. Like being able to play the piano or cook really well.

You don't have to choose between the two because your power is channeled through music. You USE your violin to activate your power. And even still, your power isn't tied to the violin. You could probably have the same effect if ur character played a piano or a flute. You could still alter perception through the music you were playing, no matter what instrument it was. Though, I suppose, u would only use the violin since thats the only instrument, as far as we know, that your character can play really well. The proficiency of your power may depend on how well you play an instrument. So it would probably be weaker in potency if u played it with an instrument u were very unfamiliar with like a trombone. lol I imagine his power works on the psionic level, psionic manipulation of the pleasure sensors in the brain that react to a pleasurable stimulus that is melodious, like music.

But the nature of certain powers have several applications. Like Telekinesis. And your power doesn't seem really OP at all so as long as you don't abuse it. If anything, its more situational. And that fact that u have to use an instrument or something that can create music as a source of power is also a limitation and further implies how un OP it is. So if someone broke your violin, u'd be fucked. :P But being able to entrance, lure, and blast them with music as I described in my last post, doesn't seem very op. As long as u dont abuse it. It should be fine.

Sorry, I probably seem like im getting worked up! LOL But I LOVE music based abilities and fighting styles and what not, so I really hope you stick wit that concept cause I LOVE it! LOL

Can I call Electrokinesis?

I'm aiming for the eldest Davidson.

Can I call Electrokinesis?

I'm aiming for the eldest Davidson.

I'm gonna assume that you already know that Mother Davidson already has that power. lol I guess you want it to have been passed down though, like a second generation electrokinetic.

Also, the role of the eldest Davidson has already been filled I believe. I think his name is Jerome. I know if two individuals were vying for the same role at the same time, she'd choose based off the merit of the character sheet. But I'm not sure if it applies once a character has already been accepted before hand.

The role of youngest Davidson son is still available. Sooo...thats always an option.

But I'm not a GM so its up to Whisper's confirmation of course.

So i've been skimming through the OOC On this and it seems really interesting, but Going through it all and skipping some I'm not sure which spots are still available. Could someone a little more familiar with everything help me out on what's left?

@Angel Eyes I meant daughter.

@Angel Eyes

Hmmm, that sounds good... Sure, I'll keep the two, the violin playing is... very situational, yeah. The "listen to the music" and "slowed perception" power is going to be used more regularly than that.

So @SgtEasy and @Stern Algorithm Are both going for a character with sound based powers. This should be interesting! lol

@SgtEasy

If that's the case, I'll probably go for something else. Don't worry, I'm not mad or anything. To be quite honest, I tend to overuse sound manipulating characters, so this is an opportunity to try my hand at something different.

I'll make my character's ability be based on Maxwell's Demon. He can cool things down with one hand and simultaneously heat things up with the other.

@Mr Allen J Oh. Well that role is already taken by Whisper herself. That's why she has oldest daughter crossed out. Unless she wants to give it up, youngest son is the only Davidson spot left I think.

@SgtEasy How do you plan on making it more accessible to use?

@Ciphra I'm not exactly sure myself. But we are only 5 pages deep in the OOC as of now, so just skim through to see any character sheets that are WIP and check the character tab to see what characters have already been accepted. Then from there, decide if u want to go head to head with someone who is already working on a family role that u want, or just choose a different role.

Edit: @Stern Algorithm Oh thats a cool idea. There was an X-men named Oya who could do something like that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oya_(comics)

Also, just kinda curious. If u were gonna stick to the sound based ability, how exactly would it have worked?

@Angel Eyes

It's not going to be easily accessible. It's situational and needs to be planned. As I said, the bokken which he uses for Kendo class (which is everyday), is going to be more accessible than the violin.

As such, the slowed perception is used more regularly. Not that he'll be getting into a lot of fights.

Unlike Oya, my character has to heat and cool at the same time, and cannot do one without the other, preserving conservation of energy (though violating the principle of entropy).

It was going to be sound as a science rather than as an art (music). In essence, shattering brittle materials like glass and bone, or causing vertigo, nausea, and internal hemorrhaging. Using soundwaves to generate vibrations. Also voice and sound mimicking and ventriloquism for deception and disorientation. For me, music is too 'magical', I prefer dealing with the physical and scientific properties of sound. Not that I have anything against other characters using music as an ability.

I feel u on that. There is a vast difference between the basic manipulation of sound and the utilization of a very manipulated rhythmic version of sound(music). When I see music as the basis of a power, i think of it more as a psychic ability to manipulate the portion of the brain that stimulates pleasure sensors when someone hears melodious patterns and finds it pleasing, like with music. Raw sound, like with the voice, is more of a manipulation of the vocal chords to achieve dissonant effects like glass shattering, vertigo, etc.

I think they are both very cool, though the 'magical' element of music, definitely hits my soft spot a bit more. lol

But if ur character has to heat and cool at the same time, what would the resounding effect be?

Damn, this OOC really took off, didn't it!
Before I slept, this was only at the top of page 2, lol.

FFFFUUUUUU- I can't find another good face claim. Hush told me to change it due to the fact that it would mean one of the fathers cheated.

Also, I'm interested in the Forbidden Love aspect because that sounds delicious :)

@SgtEasy

You can do eet. I have faith in you.

@Garden Gnome

I can't google XD, I cannot find one that fits my character. Every one I consider is being overshadowed by my previous face claim T_T

@Garden Gnome

Well since Hush said no to the half-sibling cheating father idea, your character can still be Asian if he was just adopted. Are u looking for an Asian face claim still? and what age?

@Angel Eyes

I just asked her whether my character (Katsu), could be adopted. And no, I was looking for a Caucasian face claim. And I'm thinking... 21-22

@Angel Eyes

Oooooh okay. So your looking for a Caucasian faceclaim just in case she says no to the adopted idea right? Believe it or not, when I realized there wasn't an asian yakuza like mafia family, I was REALLY shocked and kinda disappointed. lol But I actually considered making an adopted asian myself.

Which family is your character gonna be in?
