@Wade Wilson I know what Ken would say and he would say, your well being comes first. If you need to rest, please do so. I'm sure Souffle appreciates your honesty and care. You're in school and you're young. We all understand completely. I may come off as persistent sometimes but that's because I'm your pseudo mother on here and it's in my job but at the end of the day your health, sanity, and happiness is far more important to me.

Rest. :)

Seventeen? Dude, Abe only has 6 abilities, even then only one of them is actually his strongest. The rest, if anything, don't even compare. I mean, you guys were passive-aggressively noting the same thing about Felicity's abilities, but as lovely pointed out, it was just covering what she's capable of. I think only a small handful of them were actually ones that she excelled at.

And if there's a problem with me being as detailed as I possibly can with Abe's powers, than I will apologize for being thorough. Didn't know that making sure everyone knew exactly what he was capable of was a bad thing.

My meme game ain't strong enough for this, so clarity it is.

The passive-aggression seen vis a vis Felicity, and making a resurgence now, absolutely has to do with the level of power both possess. Felicity got plenty of askance glances and memery, but ultimately no one pushed it. Hecate kids gonna Hecate, low skill for now, all that jazz. The Hecate kids are overpowered enough to raise some eyebrows (and hooooo boy did they), but magic's their schtick. It's not too far out of what's be reasonable. They're the high end of the scale, but they fit.

Abe here breaks the scale so hard I nearly dusted off an Oppenheimer quote. I could dredge up a DBZ Power Levels meme, and it stiill wouldn't be adequate. Because right off the bat, to be perfectly honest, you didn't describe exactly what he can do.

Those with this ability are seemingly able to cover a wide variety of abilities. The potential is seemingly endless. They can charge objects with electricity, heat them up, and/or make them conduct electricity so that, when touched, they will induce an electric charge to anyone that it touches. Another set of abilities include being able to manipulate an electric field, negate an electrical field, use electricity to literally “pull” themselves towards something or someone, increase sharpness of objects, and a whole mountain of other abilities.


Key sentences bolded. You covered the domains he can affect, which in and of itself makes tears of blood well in the corners of my eye sockets (I have far too much experience with physicist RPers not to react that way to "can manipulate electromagnetic fields"), and then listed twelve specific examples. Seventeen, if we're completely real with each other, but for the interests of fair representation I lumped all the Electricty Aura subpowers into one. But the point is that you listed three domains, each with very, very large numbers of subdomains, and then listed a few examples of how he can affect those three domains. Two of those domains are varying degrees of migraine inducing, but even the one that makes perfect sense does the trick. And that is just his Electricty manipulation.

Abe, in essence, completely subsumes and outclasses several other domains in the game. He's got the physical and combat buffs to make Jonas and Dana irrelevant. He's got the electronic manipulation to make any Hephaestus kid just shy of irrelevant. And I'm just covering his Electricty right now. I've barely touched on the other two.

Abe could curbstomp the actual children of the God of War, as well as the kid of a War Goddess, and the banchou that has poweres entirely focused on his passion surrounding fighting.

With the exception of the Hecate kids, everyone else has Ability sections three to five abilities long. Like I said, the Hecate kids juuuust barely get a pass because Magic as a whole is their schtick. They've got an excuse. Abe is so many orders of magnitude above everyone else on power levels that I should be asking if his name's Kirito.

Actually, Kirito should be asking if his name's Kirito. I was going to write something longer and more comprehensive than this, but even with my favorite soundtrack, I was giving myself a headache.

Hence Snow referring to more powers. To avoid obsolescence.

@Krayzikk
Just gonna be straight here so nothing gets lost in my words(I tend to get carried away).

All of your points are valid ones, for sure, but some things I think you might have looked into the wrong way.

Each of the main sections of Electrokinesis, Aerokinesis, and Atmokinesis are overviews of what most Zeus kids - and Zeus himself - are capable of. They were not retaining to what Abe, Ceci, or any future Zeus kids will or would be capable of. I like to think that you didn't just pick and choose which section you wanted to quote me on as I'm sure you're not that kind of guy.

As for the bits about his other abilities, they really don't make the other kids useless tbh. They really aren't that strong. Like, Aerokinesis is like...80% weaker than Electrokinesis and Atmo the barely even covering the first 2% of what people with that power are capable of. honestly, the only thing that would be considered "powerful" that's within his arsenal would be the aura, but as LoCo said in the discord chat, Abe's personality, specifically his not wanting to be like Zeus, prevents him from utilizing the full potential of his Advanced level in Electrokinesis. I merely put it there just so it's known that he's skilled with that particular ability.

I just don't want people to think that just because I can I would make a character so OP that it broke the game. Truly, if there were any misconceptions about Abe's full capabilities, I apologize. My wording sometime escapes me, and gets lost in the length I aim to achieve. I assure you, he isn't any stronger than most of the characters that have been accepted. Also, a note that someone touched in the discord chat, I think it was Write. He doesn't have much combat prowess, so if that helps you guys feel better about if he's op or not, then there it is. :)

why do people who can't read try to gm

the electrokiniesis sphere alone outmodes everyone

There is no "perception", or issues revolving around it.

There is the hard objectivity of what Abe's listed abilities are capable of, the number of them compared to everyone else, and the 'balance' of his personality. What Snow stated, in much more blunt terms, is that the reality of Abe's Godly Abilities outclasses everyone else in the game. Rhea included, because unlike Rhea, Abe is actually capable of controlling most of his abilities.

I cannot speak in plainer, more direct terms than this. While he is blunter in his sentiments than I, Snow is absolutely correct in his assessment and I have no qualms about stating my complete agreement with it.

Honestly, that was rude as hell. You don't need to talk to him like that. Tundra is most definitely intelligent and sensible enough not to overpower everyone else ICLy. A character sheet doesn't define the character's actions. Just because a character has the power to blow up an entire planet, doesn't mean they are going to. Don't read so literally into it.

Appreciate the words, but could we not let it continue after this? The matter has thus been settled. :)

LOL Agreed. Btw, I've decided to just stick with the character look I have now. Don't feel like finding two new face claims. :P
