Sorry this is extremely long for OOC. xD
Question, then! What would happen if Anora used her powers to create a shield around Darsby’s gun when he raises it at the receptionist? Would it remain as long as she wanted it, or would he end up countering it somehow?
As a suggestion, too, if you think it would help, you could perhaps shorten your posts up a bit, stopping at areas where my character’s reactions could potentially cause a change, instead of possibly having to delete or change a good portion of the rest of your work. Don’t get me wrong; I love writing long posts, it just isn’t a requirement to keep my interest. Both long and short posts have their purposes, of course! If there’s a certain section that nothing another PC does can change stuff, then long can help get that across. But short can also give more options and open more doors without having to go back and edit a crapton.
I believe I have described the appearance of Anora’s powers when I have her use them. They’re predominantly purple and gold, and create an electric mist unless she shapes it. If she hardens it, the object it's hardened into is translucent. I also elaborate on what she can do with them as well as her weakness in her profile. Read that, then let me know if you still have questions? A couple things to add, though: if she ignores the symptoms of overuse, tries to push it further than what her energy levels allow, or uses it frequently in large bursts that slowly drain her without her taking the necessary measures to rebuild her strength, she could fall comatose, if not fatally so. I’m not sure what the strongest attack she could do is, since it all depends on her energy level and willpower. And imagination, regarding what exactly she can do and does with it. So any one of the listed abilities could be her strongest attack, if she puts enough of both of those behind it, and what form she makes it take, which is limited only by her imagination (and if her stored energy/will is great enough to accomplish what she wants, of course). The more of her magic she uses in one go, the more and quicker it drains her. I also have on there that they’re not fully fledged, so she has room to grow and change with it as needed, but she’ll be pretty good with her powers since she’s been using and experimenting with them most of her life.
Edit: As for how it functions, depending on what rules of magic you have, I was thinking it's a sort of a manifestation of her aura, of her being itself, and a sort of collective energy from being a Guardian (if we're still going with that). It uses that collective energy as well as her own to generate its strength and manifest. Its color comes form that aura aspect, which is reflected in her eye color (windows to the soul, an' all that!)
How does all that sound to you?
Still haven’t really found out what my limit for gore is. If it’s any help, I can watch the show Supernatural pretty easily, and my tolerance for gore is higher when with written than visual media. I do love torturing characters more than I probably should, enjoy realistic bloodshed, have no problem writing out violent/bloody scenes (to an extent), and have no issues with/am all for my character(s) being on the receiving end of violence and/or torture of the mental or physical type. Especially if they do something stupid and totally had it coming. Which also means you can expect me to not be one of those people who never lets their characters get hurt. Basically, if you’re okay with it, I’ll probably just have to let you know if you manage to stumble upon a line I didn’t know I had.
Though not entirely gore related, I figure I should let you know about what I won't do, period: gay relationships, and nothing sexually related, be it via gore or otherwise. My lack of tolerance for sexual aspects is the same throughout all media. I can’t even stand watching Law in Order: SUV, and such references have threatened to make me stop watching Supernatural on a number of occasions because of their frequency. Nudity is also out for me, butts being as far as I would accept for showing private areas. ;-) Because I swear, butts were made for the soul purpose of being comedic relief. Otherwise, as long as people are at least in their undies, I’m good. Just undies is awkward for me, mind, and never makes for scenes I enjoy in media, but it’s not something I can’t tolerate, especially when done for practical instead of sexual purposes.
I do have full preferences listed on my profile, though they haven’t really changed since our first go at this. Heh. But don’t worry about it being dark. I typically enjoy dark and love super-creepy stuff, so keep that coming all you want. I also end up being extremely-to-excessively a bit sadistic myself to my characters. In person, I don’t like hurting people. But give me a fictitious character to write for who I can throw into all manner of afflictions, and I’ll tear him/her apart quite gladly—so long as it goes along with the story and doesn’t take anything away from that plot.
