Well, her power is sound projection/ability to impersonate anyone. Is that okay? Should I nerf? Add to it?

That sounds like a pretty cool power.. Why not make it so that they can manipulate sound waves, to a degree? So they could soften people's steps or impersonate people, or make sounds really rather ridiculously loud to the point it damages people's eardrums.. And to do that, they would have really good ears themselves, because they would be able to distinguish specific sounds with ease, and then copy them exactly, or oppositely, to boost or negate them. They could have been a roadie before the awakening!

And then of course, you have the ultrasonic scream which can drive people to their knees in anguish. And no one has any defence against that sort of attack :D

Like it? Don't like it? Inspire better ideas?

Yog, Why can't you post? Hot Rod could basically just speed on in.

Also I'd love a Sonic controller. Those kinds of powers are the ones I'd love to see more of. Not typical melee based powers but interesting without having to completely make an original powerset.

[QuietThinker]

Alright, I've waited a day. I'm going to make your life a little easier by taking control of Wire's situation for a bit. I'll make sure it doesn't conflict with anything else, and then he can get lumped in with the rest of them :D

well that would be rather bad since there are several very powerful villains, and my last post has Hot Rod making a plan of attack so unless any of the others post with their characters agreeing or disagreeing then Hot Rod is stuck for now.

[QuietThinker]

Alright, now Wire's ready to be assimilated into the League. That post took a lot of thought ._.

[MrDidact]

Sounds good.

Who is Howard's boss anyway? The Outfit and Legion are the main game in town, I assume it would be Legion?

[QuietThinker]

Whoever you want. This is Wire's first time meeting him anyway, so it doesn't really matter. He's just another job. Heck, you could have it so that when Wire does take him back to his boss, he shoots him for being unruly, which persuades Wire to join the League when they come calling.

Personally though, I'd say he worked for the Outfit.

[MrDidact]

That might be neat.

Perhaps but the main thing Legion has over the Outfit is that they have a monopoly on Superhuman criminals.

[QuietThinker]

I could go back and edit the first post so that the case caught his attention because it was a member of the outfit dealing with a Meta. Most of his clients are human and from the outfit because quite frankly, the Legion wouldn't need him.

That would also mean that the outfit killing a useful Meta would be unlikely though... So maybe he is from the Legion. I don't know, it's up to you man. You put Wire where you want him to go.

I need Archmage and Asuras to post, before I continue with Hot Rod.

[Asuras]

Sorry bout' that. I'm considering a lot of things pertaining to this rp, and I've been busy with college duties for the entire week.

The scream, I'm using, but I want all her powers to come from her own voice. She could maybe mask someone's footsteps by mimicking a loud gust of wind that seemed to originate from an open window, but she couldn't actually affect noise caused by anyone else.

Ah, but she would be using her own voice :)

You know how sound is a wave? Well, if you were to put another wave alongside it but out of phase, then you effectively cancel it out. So what I meant was not that she could directly manipulate sound, but that she could generate sound waves that negate others. She would mask someone's footsteps by generating the out-of-phase sound of the footsteps, effectively canceling them out! All with her own voice!

Don't believe me? Search noise cancellation on wikipedia ;)

The limit for it would be that she could only really do it for one particular area at a time..

The boosting on the otherhand.. Thats exactly the same principle only that instead of being out of phase, it would be in phase. This would also only work for one particular area at a time, but that area would be bigger because it doesn't matter who hears it :D

Played the Five Nights at Freddy's demo. My laptop screen is probably going to break if I have the same reaction every time one of those animatronic puppets scream in my face...

[Maxxorlord]

This looks incredibly interesting. I'll have to read more into this..

I posted, I'm just a wee bit lost with all the chars, so I hope that my short post will suffice?

[Polyphemus]

I may have picked the worst possible place to pass out from exhaustion.Both in game and IRL.

[Dingo]

Post up in 24-hours, ideally. Sleep depravation, dentist visits, work load, all kinds of fun shit.

[Arty Fox]

You guys need to take better care of yourselves. :(

I hope you're feeling all right there Poly, nothing too serious I hope?

it just occurred to me that super heroes in a super organisation need super suits. We need a super Tailor. :3

[Yog Sothoth]

This may be off topic, but apparently they finally figured out the real identity for Jack the Ripper
