i guess i will?

are you trying to get into a lurking contest w/ me m8

@Mercenary Lord

I'LL REK YOU M8 I SWARE ON ME MUM.

(That's how that goes, right? I don't remember. American here.)

Nope. Jeanne literally can't lurk. She isn't built for stealth.

She envisions herself as the spear tip of The Clairvoyant. Or in her absence, the mortal deliverer of God's judgment.

Like I said, we'll wait for Reg to finalize and see if he feels the restriction should be lessened some.

The main reasons for the restrictions, as I said in our talks, is mostly from the wide variety of usable powers at any given point in time.

Of course, I expect people will be a bit miffed with my Thing I've been working on, given this discussion. But as I say below, everyone has a chance down the road to increase power if they choose, and eventually take a chance if they want to.

Though you already know they idea behind that, if you remember my EC on LF. It's different, of course, but I'll still ask you to keep quiet on the subject, if you please.

@Mercenary Lord
I don't want to say much, but getting more powerful is a point that will come up for everyone. But as you said, Phantom doesn't have much to work with, and even then finding his body would spell death for him.

Come to Church? He looks like he needs salvation. Or that he'll spontaneously combust upon stepping into the archway.

@Feisty-Pants

He's gotta wait for Reg to approve him, first.

But I second that motion. As soon as he's approved I practically demand he go to interact at the Church.

Oh I figured as much. I'm just teasing. ^^

[Override]

Church it is. @Old Amsterdam. I understand what you are saying. Honestly I am cool with it, but if Reg decides to lessen the full moon part, I am not gonna complain. xD

I think it would be fun to interact with that character. Certainly a yin yang thing going on.

But with powers linked to nudity, how does one get more naked to get stronger, do I have to make James open up and be emotionally naked/revealing where he goes around telling strangers his deepest darkest thoughts to power up? All the while being completely butt nekkid?

Rocking up to ya doorstep like..

[Old Amsterdam]

@Athoriel
I laughed at that.

Again, I don't want to say much because this is all a ways away and everything, but this power increase doesn't require additional stipulations.

@Afro Samurai

Posted again! Sorry I'm linking you here, but I accidentally posted first before linking you in the IC.

By the way folks, if you click the titles on each of my posts, you'll get to listen to some awesome music, which I used to write for the post. ^_^

Also, are my posts still satisfactory?

[Old Amsterdam]

@Feisty-Pants
There perfectly satisfactory.

@Override
Alright, I normally don't do this for reasons I've stated, but....

I did some thinking, and I'm approving your CS pending further approval or changes requested by Reg. Move it on over to the CS tab and enjoy the IC.

Wunderbar! I look forward to writing a response!

Mind you, be gentle. She's praying at the altar. XD

@Feisty-Pants

Alright. He was gentle I think. xD

@Override

Quite so! Now just to wait for Afro to post, and then I'll jot something down.

[Old Amsterdam]

@Mercenary Lord
3-4, about, until he's awake. I've already informed him of what I've done, what he needs to check, and of the PM Feisty sent me. As well as the other PM sent to the two of us, and all that.

I try and keep him updated on the basics while he's asleep.

Before I make any comment I wish to emphasise that I will respect any decision Regitnui, or in his absence you, decide to make. Intent is hard to communicate through text and I am merely giving my opinion, with no intention of causing conflict.

Comet's max speed is Mach 200. At that speed a single punch has enough force to rip through a tank. Sure he might hurt his hand doing it, but he could still annihilate Override's character in the blink of an eye. Speedsters are incredibly powerful because if they skip the powering-up stage of the fight they can end fights before they even begin, not giving their opponent the chance to even bring their abilities to bear. In addition to this he would be easily capable of dodging Overdrive's lasers.

Traveller possesses the power to make portals, limited by mass and distance. On the other hand, she was recently able to move a block of stone, cement and asphalt weighing about 5 metric tons to Alaska with relatively little strain. Using that kind of power she could quite easily open portals to the exosphere, where people would be sucked up by the air-pressure differentials and dumped hundreds of kilometers above the ground to burn up on reentry. In addition to being able to summon a virtual army of heroes in an instant.

Other supers are admittedly not as powerful, in general, but both of these could quite easily defeat Overdrive's character. And most other characters could as well.

Effectively Overdrive's ability is a slightly more expanded and colourful version of telekinesis. Telekinetic shields become forcefields, blasts of kinetic energy become lasers, and tactile telekinesis becomes super-strength/speed. While I'm not arguing that he should have powers capable of annihilating houses on an average day, the description 'a solid punch' makes them about as effective as a loud fart when used against anyone with any kind of super-durability. Even a straight mortal could stand back up after that hit them in the face. How about having beams that move relatively slowly (subsonic) as 'lazorz' and have the power to explode cars? That would fulfill the requirement of badass exploding lazor beam and give lower-powered characters the opportunity to dodge out of the way of this explosive power. And fighting higher-powered enemies he could pull tricks like point-blank shots, or surprise angles. Or using his forcefield manipulation to trip up his opponents, and blasting them while they're down.

This has been the end of my little novel. Now that I have stated my opinion I will dutifully shut up ^-^.

[Feisty-Pants]

There. Posted.
