@MelonHead Post up tomorrow, sorry for the delay. Didn't expect to have to train two new girls at work.

thas cooo

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead OMW home now, post up in about 3 hours. Gotta catch the last bus out, missed the second to last.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead I'll be posting tonight, sorry for the delay.

[MelonHead]

I should have trouble with your character's dialect, but honestly, one of the guys I work with actually speaks like that. Reading an extreme Scottish accent is far easier than trying to decipher it in real time.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
I've got Scottish family and I picked up on it, but only when I'm angry. So I do this weird mix of American Southern accent combined with Scottish. Dunnaman is literally just Scottish but with a slice of Swahili bread thrown in.

[MelonHead]

I'll reply tomorrow, having trouble acclimatising back into work and it makes me tired af, too lazy to post.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead I can relate.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
Posting once I get home from my shift.

@MelonHead
Alternatively I'm a big dumb liar who likes to fall asleep with a cup of whiskey half drank rather than actually click the post button.

@LeeRoy

No worries, I was busy anywho.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead Caught me on my break, had enough time to put it together.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
It's like magic, y'know? Once I hit a certain hour I can be productive, but any hour before that I just can't.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
Note to self. Dunnaman is going to learn how to speak proper English before his next encounter with anyone. Writing like this is a fucking strain on my brain. It makes for creative writing and a thought exercise, but holy shit it's hard.

[MelonHead]

I've been playing a cockney street thief in the GCL, which is also pretty challenging sometimes.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
It's always fun to write accents. It makes your character distinguished and actually gives some kind of diversity to the way the writing reads. But man if I don't want to beat myself up for every "ah" I've written.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
Alright, so I'll have my post up in a bit.

But once this is over, I realize now that.

Dunnaman strays too far from who Kanitah was, thematically.

I'm gonna rework his abilities so he's closer to who he was, rather than Fire and Ice extremes.

@LeeRoy

Seems to me like Dunnaman's abilities still fit Kanitah, he just has an ironic twist. Kanitah used a piece of technology that absorbed energy to power himself up, Dunnaman uses a piece of technology that suppresses his energy absorption to effectively power himself down.

Still, your character, if he doesn't feel right he doesn't feel right.

[LeeRoy]

@MelonHead
It's more the deviation from the Kinetic Energy powers.

I feel as though his Re-and-De Energizing abilities don't fit that theme.

It was made in the same way I made Kanitah before. I clicked the random button on Power-Listing.

Kanitah's simplicity was what made him who he was. Dunnaman's got this thing where he's in this awkward grey area of abilities that, when you really think about it, don't make sense.

Kanitah's Random Mix was:
Science Attuned Physiology - For the Word Engine's enhancement to his body.
Old Prime - For being in perfect shape despite his age.
Kinetic Energy Combat - Which I refined into the ring amplification.

All of that was combined with the racial traits of Pundambayans.

Dunnaman's Random Mix is:
Fire Manipulation - For the superheated energized matter.
Ice Manipulation - For the supercooled de-energized matter.
Flight - By rapidly energizing and de-energizing so he creates lift, despite its clunkiness.

And then I went a bit too far and decided to add in different ways that those powers were used in combination.

AND on top of that, he's got Enhanced Pundambayan racial traits.

I'm left feeling like I put too much into him, and that's made him less of who he's supposed to be.

Though I do agree with the Reversal of his abilities. Formerly using it to enhance himself, now using it to suppress himself.
