Even with these limitations, access to this many forms and this many powers is still too powerful for what I have in mind for this RP. Let me know if you have any other superhero concepts.


I do have another possible thought, if you'd be willing. Any forms past the base form are inaccessible for the time being, with them being unlocked and earned as time goes on. Would this be an acceptable change?

Made edits to the sheet, you should be able to see them. Couldn't find an entry on mechanical genius, so I went off of super power wiki's other mechanical related stuff. Been a long time since I used that site. I actually...hate using that site for powers, tbh, only because the lack of specifics, as its more a general resource for stuff. And back when I was rping in this one place I helped found, we got people constantly just posting those powers, without any personal touches of how their character could do their stuff.

Anyways, I updated the cannon a bit, if it needs more, I can change as needed. Same for suit, noted how its really just a glorified suit of armor atm, while adding the skinsuit bit for how Serene protects herself. I might add a bit later about how the big shoulder stuff are the direct rep for the solar collectors. Anyways, both images are finalized for character and suit, Dark Suit from Metroid works well for a prototype high tech suit. Hope its good.

No it wouldn't. This would just be a delayed overpowered state as apposed to an immediate one.

Okay your character is still very powerful but I'm willing to see how it goes and we can adjust later in the RP after I've seen her in action. I'd much prefer one turret than 3 as I want her to be more of a superhero and less of a sci-fi mercenary. A lot of her powers are geared towards shooting and destroying things which is fine, but savior of the people should have more utility as apposed to raw power. Also a fully charged shot taking down a building is super strong and will need some proper drawbacks on attacks of that level (maybe a suit shut-down & reboot).

Also I'd like to see a weakness in regards to her living battery technique, like what happens when she expels too much energy to charge something?

Being 'only human' isn't really a weakness as a few of the heroes and villains are 'only human' because they don't have superpowers.

@Bone Father

Your character is far far too strong with multiple element manipulations, further up in the thread you can see what I said about the other character submission with similar abilities. I'm afraid you'll need a different character.

UPDATE

Going to make a local 'justice force' type collection of superheroes who have been operating in the city for the last few yeas.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand, he doesn't have multiple element manipulation, he only has one power that can be used in multiple ways. And he can easily be countered by people who can control temperature, such as ice users, or weather manipulators.

@sassy1085 This looks great, just a heads up though I'm assuming SoarkGal means electrical powers? Because Im seeing a lot of electrical bases submissions lately. Just a heads up.

Sort of like alien nurse? I like it!

Approved. Though I will be keeping an eye on the biomass ability in the IC.

Having Fire, Ice and Wind powers is 3 elements and the 'weakness' is much too specific to be viable.

Thermal energy is very nebulous and seems like it would either be too broad or too specific. Where exactly is thermal energy being drawn from and in what form?

He can be easily countered by ice users, temperature manipulators, weather manipulators, among other things. And to use any of those abilities, he has to absorb thermal energy in order to use them. The thermal energy comes from the heat in the surrounding area, such as the air, the ground, bodies of water, etc. All objects, creatures, etc. contain thermal energy. As for what form, he absorbs the thermal energy through his palms and that has a limited range to outward of about 10 to 15 feet and the further away the weaker the absorption becomes. Furthermore, depending on what time of year it is, the colder it becomes, making it more difficult to properly absorb thermal energy. Also, depending in what environment he's in (such as a polar ice cap) absorbing thermal energy becomes next to impossible, making him unable to use any of his powers.

Thanks!

Which biomass ability do you mean? The healing, or the mimicry? As for the mimicry, don't worry, I'm a biologist, so overtly BS biology pisses me off. Embryon will not be learning camouflage because it's too complicated (involving specialized skin cells, and the neural pathways to control them). Basically, Embryon prefers mimicking metabolic pathways (ability to construct or deconstruct specific biochemicals) rather than anything with an overtly structural, physical, or behavioral function. So maybe Embryon can produce neurotoxins, but King Cobras and Japanese Pufferfish are not easily accessible to the homeless, and Embryon would consider creation of a neurotoxin as 'excessive lethal force'.

So basically he can draw the energy he needs from almost anything? This is a highly populated modern city, there is never going to not be things to draw thermal energy from even with that radius. So it's barely a weakness. And having a vulnerability to a very specific counter-superpower is also barely a weakness. Your powers are too strong even if they did have significant drawbacks.
