We could always do implants too--you remove, you die.
So the forcefield keeps the mutants in /and/ disables powers? Or does it only do one?

In my idea it would only disable powers when the Mal gets close enough, but it would permeate through different dimensions, stopping Mals moving through those dimensions. So Aleyna for example would have access to all the mirrors inside the field, though she'd be blocked off from those outside.

I'm more in favour of the no bomb collars too. Just having a force field that screws with your powers seems good enough to me. And if someone really wanted to have bomb collars, I suggest our characters get actual collars instead of implants.

I like the idea of the forcefield messing with their powers, too. The bomb collars seem kinda unnecessary.

Same--forcefield over the collars and implants

Since it'll block off the Mal's powers when they get close, does that mean the force fields line the perimeter of the facility? Also is the facility one building, or is it a collection of buildings? Is there a fence around the facility? Sorry trying to get a clear picture of stuff haha

Also for this stuff to permeate all dimensions... That's some crazy tech right there. Can't even begin to imagine how it works, but are there any other types of powers like Aleyna's? For example, teleportation/wall-crossing, etc.

Hey! So, I have another suggestion. How about a post limit? I understand that people are usually very hyped when a RP starts or people start flooding in, and they have an urge to speed-post. Trust me, I do too! I too want to start the RP and keep it going before it loses momentum, but then people who have trouble catching up will start lagging behind. Forcing them to skip various plot points to keep up.

My suggestion is simple, anyone is only allowed to post if 2 other people posted after them, and it's been a few hours (3-4) since the last person posted. I think this would be very beneficial to everyone, either if you have a busy schedule and can't keep up, or if you're suffering some writer's block. Those replies piling high can be very intimidating.

So, tell me what you guys think!

@Witch Cat that's a good idea. Maybe we should also consider a post heading, such as:

Character - Location(s) - Characters Interacted With

Johnny - Grocery Store - Susy and Jimmy

I'd assume there would be multiple facilalties around the world under different names, you can't sweep up and imprison and entire demographic in one bulding, and also I'm pretty sure there would be gaurds posted around the facilitly along with the force-fields. (Which would also extend underground and in the sky too.)

I think Aleyna is the only one who can teleport at this point in the story. I guess Daniyal would also be able to teleport if he uses his powers creativetly, but that will be happen much later on. Also, I think we should just have the force-field mess with a mal's powers. Throw in some science mumbo-jumbo about frequency waves. Saying it messes with powers in other dimenshoins too kinda breaks immersion in my opinion.

(Apologies for any spelling mistakes, I'm writing this up on my phone.)

Oh defnitly! Infact, here's a template I made.

A lot of that is answered in the lore, in the OP. It's in a hider somewhere.

As for the post headers, I can see maybe putting a name above it for people playing multiple characters, though I've always found those things like settings and who is being interacted with easy to keep track of. It's like reading a book. The author doesn't need to tell you in the chapter title where the character is or who they're talking to, since that's all explained in the story itself. That said, I'll go along with whatever the majority decides.

I'll be fixing up my CS. hopefully I'll have it finished in a few hours after I finish my lectures.

@Witch CatA post limit is a good idea. In any group roleplay it's good to not have one person posting without the others. I know Discord said she wanted one-on-one interactions to be kept to a minimum (she said each character can post twice and then you move into PM's if necessary), but since we're still in the first day and we're waiting on three more people to get their first post in before we have the story line move, I'm guilty of posting a lot, haha. (sheepish smile) Once the plot actually starts moving I definitely agree with you.

But I think if it's a one-on-one conversation it should be a little different. I think they can ignore the "waiting for two other people to post"-thing, as long as they stick to the 2-posts-each limit that Discord mentioned before. Otherwise short conversations end up taking forever, especially if people aren't posting every day.

Overall, I think @SecretlyDiscord should be in charge of deciding the exact terms of the post limit. Since she's in charge of the thing.

@SheriffLlama I'm fine with or without a header. Could be nice to have the character names since we're having a more people join, but I don't really like having pictures at the top of every post. They take up a lot of space and they're kinda distracting to me. :B But if everyone else wants to have them, it's no biggie!

I've pretty much finished my character. You can all check him out now, I won't steal your soul anymore.

Goodness, me!
I go to class and come back to stuff! :P
I like the idea of having character names at the beginning of each post, just to keep character names straight, I'm not sure about the images (though it could be an individual choice seeing as it's not messing with the RP itself) or who's interacting with who. At a certain point in the RP, the use of character names will be commonplace regardless of who's writing (just no manipulating the other characters (but you already knew that)). If you want to direct posts with interaction logs for now, that will be fine. Hopefully we'll be able to write with all of the characters together later on where there won't be as much of a need for that.

Once the plot kicks up, all our characters will have something to say/do. Of course, I am aware of the fact that people can be very busy. I myself am taking 16 credit hours in college (which is full time (omg it hurts just typing it)) so I can't be here all the time. I set a personal minimum of one post per day, but other may have different schedules. Once the plot picks up, I hope that we can all get a post up on a daily or tri-weekly basis. I know this sounds unreasonable, but I think we can talk out schedule errors in the OOC. I will definitely be letting you all know if and when I cannot post, and can only ask that you all would do the same. I promise not to be draconian about this, as I know that life happens.

On a lighter note! If we choose to have our characters "graduate" from TEF-149 and leave the facility to do some saving of lives or whatever, the bomb collars could come out then. Kind of like in Battle Royale (or Suicide Squad??? Idk I haven't seen it) where the bomb collars are activated if and when the malfunctions don't behave. Other than that, I can take the collars out of daily life and put it under special circumstances or procedure. Which brings an idea to my fried brain: bomb collars could also be used during an emergency, say some kid destroys half of the building via acid or fire or chemicals (etc.) and the mals have to be taken somewhere else. The bomb collars would prevent them from running off in those cases. Or the collars could be used during some sort of "outside time" where there aren't necessarily enough guards to supervise the little beasties.

Anyways, that's my two cents about the whole thing. I'll have my daily post up soon. :3
Sorry for the wait.

Hot damn, what timezone are you in that you just got out of class? It's one in the morning for me, so if you're in the US then it can only be ten at the earliest for you.

Also, I'll get my next post up sometime today. If Drei is accepted, I'll post as both of them.

I get out of class at 10 (but then I also commute to school so I get home at 10:30). I have breaks tho, so it's okay.
I'm trying to get my degree as soon as possible. If that means late classes then so be it! (I'm a night owl so it's not bad the morning classes are THE WORST.)

I look forward to your post. :) I just finished Vincent's part, now moving on to write for Maggie....

EDIT: I am so tired, sorry for my garbage post. will write tomorrow. (tired smile)
Wish me luck on my exam tomorrow!

Good luck and all that jazz. Sleep tight.

@SecretlyDiscord I like that idea for the collars. :> And sleep well!

I'mma start on my post, but I never ended up being able to sleep after waking up at 6 am last night yesterday morning, so I dunno if I'm gonna have the brain power right now. We'll see.

For those who want to know the original lore/systems/etc. Which pieces if any are taken in for this are obviously up to everyone, especially SecretlyDiscord.
My vote on bomb collars is that they stay. Explaining away a force-field that neutralizes powers would A) be very difficult and B) undermine the whole premise of the story. If normal people have technology that can just prevent powers from being used, then there's no reasonable need to let them keep their powers or treat them differently than normal people. Even the "turn them into superweapons" idea wouldn't make sense, because if they have something that can defend against the powered people then surely any enemies would get the same tech in a short enough amount of time. Collars that explode/inject poison/etc. when detected outside of a certain area or on command would make more sense, and workarounds for travel using extradimensional methods are much easier to come up with. Even with a unified world government, it would be unrealistic to think there weren't at least terrorists and resistance factions out there, some of which might manage to take over a compound of their own under the radar.
The collar being grafted onto their necks might not be necessary, and if we keep it as exploding within three feet of the forcefield then we know that it's relatively far away from the edges of the compound and will almost certainly have markers to show distance away from it, since having a bunch of powered people getting killed by accidentally getting too close would be a waste of resources. Unless the forcefield is highly visible, of course. Or simply keep the high walls around it as a marker.
I could probably come up with a good ID system if given a few days. Off the top of my head would be: TEF149-XXXXX based, obviously TEF149 being the compound, so if we use the first two digits as the district they were born in (since world travel would be common in a unified world government) and the third as type of power (kinetic, empowerment, weakening, transport, alteration, manipulation, influence) with the fifth and possibly fourth being the classification number for the specific power, OR since the compound can only house 100 inmates, it could simply be their arrival number 00-99. So someone with two powers or a power that can be applied different ways would have the fourth digit filled with a letter just like their third digit.
Example: Someone who can cause water to freeze would be --A--, whereas someone with hydrokineses who can also cause water to freeze would be --KA-.

Anyway, those are my suggestions. Have at them.
