[OOC] After the End

[Potter]

Please stop discussing it and wait for Penguin and I to address the matter. Thank you.

[Penguin]

Okay... LOL. No telekinesis.

[Rockin Strings]

And I was just gonna have him able to pull towards himself at first, not even fully lift until he has more practice. I would limit the range to 20 meters but can't use it if the item is closer than 10 meters. As the RP progresses, he'll slowly get stronger with it. As for exhaustion, it tires him out twice as much as if he were pulling with physical strength. Plus, how I planned to make him, most of the deadly stuff he could do is stuff he wouldn't do as it's against his morals.

@RokkuHoshi

LOL I'm not sure what you really want it for other than to pick stuff up, which assuming your character has arms, is just a slight convenience. Regardless, I'm going to say no. Sorry.

[Rockin Strings]

@Penguin Alright. Instead of the generalized telekinesis, how about umbrakinesis? No physical uses, only able to conceal himself and blind others temporarily.

@RokkuHoshi

We're going for physical mutations here buddy. Think less X-men. He could perhaps have a spray like a skunk or something that blinds people near him. Check out some character sheets. I'm thinking of people mutating to be like beasts either to a small extent or large extent. That's up to you.

I don't remember discussing how a power might or might not work being against the rules, but whatever...

@chukklehed

It's already been said it would be weak telekinesis. Using it creatively is the reason we RP in the first place. If you can bring a house down realistically with the amount of ability you're allowed, that deserves kudos, not condemnation. You seem to forget there isn't any "winning" at RP. There's no reason to cheat. That's why I don't get why everyone is all up in a tizzy about people being "overpowered". If the GM allows a power, just deal with it. It's not unfair because we aren't competing.

@chukklehed

This is not discussing how a power would or wouldn't work, I'm not sure what to call this. I want to say it's intended as a gentle reminder, but it comes across more as condemnation the way I read it.

Now, not saying my hands are unsullied in this regard... So I'm going to agree to drop it now.

@chukklehed

That's because everyone was following along with how I described up until this point and that's why I had to further explain it. ;) This discussion is between me and RokkuHoshi anyway, Chukklehed. You can put the salt back in the shaker.

I'll put it here though. I gave examples and made it pretty clear.

Animals have been mutating faster than the world has ever seen before. The exposure to extreme radiation and chemicals has caused for change in their DNA. They are bigger, faster, and definitely more hungry. There have been cases of flying snakes, eight-foot wolves, and even three-foot wasps. Humans have been mutating too, with cases of men with large eyes with the ability to accomplish night vision and of people with teeth as sharp as razors. People are evolving regressively to be less like humans and more like beasts. There are smaller cases of people just getting small mutations such as a change in strength or speed but with each different mutation, it becomes more and more evident that these mutations are becoming completely unpredictable.

@Sanctus Spooki

That comment wasn't meant specifically at you. I'm often frustrated at people who raise a fuss about certain powers, and a bit of that slipped into the discussion.

@chukklehed

Okay but what fuss? Rokku was asking questions and I was conversing with them.

[Rockin Strings]

@Penguin I see most of the physical mutations as boring and very limited to how they work. While there are multiple ways to apply enhanced strength, even the weakest of non-physical powers have more applications. That doesn't mean I don't like them or won't use one, just that I'll need help choosing one.

The character I was thinking of would be a great leader, very strategic, kind-hearted, but willing to defend anyone against a threat. I was thinking of telekinesis at first because he would start oƒ barely able to do anything with it until he practiced enough, which would take a long time. The umbrakinesis to scout ahead and allow for an easy retreat of his allies. I can't think of a physical mutation that would match him.

If you have any ideas, I'll listen. I will say no to strength because that would turn him into a brute and that's not what I want. And I'd prefer no animal mutations unless he could get wings and fly.

@RokkuHoshi

I shot you a PM. We can discuss it there.

[Potter]

Penguin has stated her rules clearly. Please listen to her and what her decisions are. If you are unhappy, please maturely discuss it with her via PM. The only person who decides what goes or not is her and is not up for anyone else to discuss.

Thank you! :)

Happy posting everyone. I look forward to the posts.

@Bleu Flacon - I liked your post. Your character would make great friends with Iris who is a huge animal lover. Maybe the three of us could meet up? I'm [Iris] with Saint right now.

@Potter

Thanks Potter! You have power too technically being the co-gm ;P

[chukklehed]

My point was we weren't discussing it because we were unhappy. At least I wasn't. It was an interesting topic and right up until the very end a mature and enjoyable discussion.

[Bleu Flacon]

@Potter
Perhaps so, Vivi isn't particularly friendly but she does make the occasional exception. She is headed to town though.

Ah, okay. They can meet up another time then.

@Potter @Penguin [@Bleu Falcon]

Got my post up, sorry potter, but after Bleu had her do rip one of the attacker's throat out, I couldn't really think of a way for HIram to just decide they were the good guys off the bat

Since Vivi normally trades with the town though, I suppose he might actually recognize her, after given a few seconds to collect himself.

LOL makes for more drama! I'm kinda unsure why you're apologizing to Potter. Haha so many people are coming to this area. This should be fun.
