[OOC] Calling all Supers

[prussianblue]

@prussianblue doesn't play a character, does he just play the world?

@Blue2

Precisely!

Edit: our introduction will likely be out by the end of this day. :)

@Dusty If you don't mind, I have a question regarding your character's abilities.. how long do the effects of his hypnosis last?

@HowlsOfWinter

@HowlsOfWinter

Good question, and I'm afraid I don't really have an exact answer. Its mostly based on the suggestion or command given, and some suggestions can take years to manifest while others are immediate and more precise. Really, it depends on what Brundy is seeking to accomplish. Though that's not to say someone can't break free of his influence early.

[prussianblue]

@Dusty: I have a few concerns about the powers and weaknesses of your character.

About changing history- manipulating the actual course of time/space is a big no-no, though I think you might not have meant that. Perhaps this power is able to suggest changes to the person’s memories of how things happened (kinda like the Mandela effect?) but after a certain period of time, say a few days to a week, they realize that their memories were false and maybe it causes confusion in the aftermath.

About erasing memories- I feel that this is a bit overboard given his power of suggestion- he could simply just convince them it didn't happen, and under the same effect of the last one, it wears off after some time.

For clarification- to what extent do his powers work? Is he able to exact them on analytical minds as well as creative minds? (Very important in real-life hypnosis!) Is there a specific environment that fosters a better connection, like a dark, quiet room or maybe a distraction filled busy street? How far away can he be before his powers are too far out of reach?
Additionally, what is his associated weakness? What I found was “Unfortunately to do so Brundy must be looking the other person or creature in the eye, and verbally impressing the command upon those he’s hypnotizing. Should he, or his victim be wearing, say glasses or contacts the suggestion may be hazy, incomplete or ineffective altogether.” which sounds more like a shortcoming to the extent of his power than a weakness. Also, in what way does his power work on animals? And lastly how does one break free from his influence?

@prussianblue

Is this all stuff you want me to explain in the OOC or character sheet?

[prussianblue]

In your character sheet, pretty please.@Dusty

[prussianblue]

The starter is posted and our RP is open! If you have questions, direct them over here and I or LordofthePies will most definitely have (or come up with) an answer. Have at it, you all!

So is the president of New Alaska separate from the president of the U.S? How much of a role does she play in the continental U.S?

[Kidd]

@LordLinguinie

Yes, the president of NA is separate from the US President (who doesn't have to be Donald Trump or anyone real, honestly). Since New Alaska is basically an annex of the US, she's a US appointed leader, but her legal power is only over New Alaska; it ends at the Star City border.

@prussianblue
Do you think that it would smart to move my character or wait to see what Cori and Alexander do first?
I was thinking she could head towards Washington state to get as far away from the DC as possible, through a transfer of hospitals or something

[prussianblue]

@JewelProphet30 Yes.

[JewelProphet30]

@prussianblueOkay give me a little bit, I'm trying to get my littles in bed lol...

[CrabInATree]

Yay, company!

[JewelProphet30]

@CrabInATree I figured you might like some company :

[JewelProphet30]

I apologize, I had to skip time a little....if that's not okay let me know! @prussianblue

[LordLinguinie]

So are all of the characters going to be brought together by some big event? or is this more like Heroes, where 3-6 storylines all somehow converge to one big blowout? Or are we not at liberty to know yet?

[prussianblue]

@JewelProphet30 nope- good.
@LordLinguinie likely the former. Still working on it presently.

Night, you guys!

@JewelProphet30

Do you want to be confronted by Cori and Alexander? They could go to the hospital to either investigate someone getting injured by a super or someone getting injured who is suspected to be a super. It's also possible they are sent to overlook the screening with the Ray, where your nurse carried out the test, Alexander would sent so that any super wanting to retalliate can't use their power while Cori rounds them up. Maybe Jake could be called to have his blood checked?
