Empowered - A Tale of Strength and Weakness in Spamopolis

[pitwhousedtodopokemon]

OOOOOOO,I'm in the chapter!
...I'm going to die, aren't I?

[andromedene]

Whaaaaat on Earth was I thinking about to get that first power.

[Alphakoka]

Sora is Hisoka? :/

[idlehands]

Please let me suggest to Nex that he walk out in front of a speeding bus.

Those are some really creative powers, I really dig this story.

[Dervish]

I either got the uber awesome jackpot or the most ominous bit of foreshadowing ever. :D

Pit, you're screwed. You have a worst friend than Jorick, Nargle, and Sora lol.

I will have to finish reading this later; I was just way too curious about what Jorick gave me for powers. So far, I love how the powers manifested (super creatively, I might add!) And your characterizations for everyone are distinct and fantastic. Awesome stuff!

[Smiral]

The people with mind-based powers freak me out, that's not fair.

Nah, what's not fair is Holmes playing dirty like the dirty cop she is.

Shh... you got to be an immortal dick fingered, flesh shifting nightmare fuel last time.

I still resent you for killing me, you damn hooligan. :[

Pssh. Fool, I do what I want.

[Smiral]

I change my mind, my immunity field power beats everything ever, suck it nerds.

Can't argue with that. You're still a dirty cop though.

Interested to see how this turns out, some of the characters' powers are extremely overpowered. Really good read though, glad you're writing pretty quickly so far.

^ Ya, most of the powers seem to be a bit much. I like the ones that have obvious discernible weaknesses—my character's necessity for eye-contact, for instance.

My character is easy to hate but hard not to be interested in. Good combination for a villain, Jorick. I suspect that either you or Sora will be the end of me.

Or idle is going to make you look into a mirror. ;D

Wait I'm confused, if Sherlock has omnipotence how would anyone be able to kill her anyways? Why would she be worried about "Being marked as a threat"?

Just because she claims to be omnipotent doesn't mean she actually is in the usual sense of the world. There are limitations to her power.

Also, if she was marked as a threat then she would be attacked by her own people and wouldn't be the military commander of the situation any more.

Bad things. ^_^

Oh hey, I was wondering if anyone would get it. Yes, I 100% stole the idea for that rubbery glue stuff power from Hisoka (a character in Hunter x Hunter for those who don't know). I was watching the newest episode of the anime last Tuesday and decided I wanted to play with that power too, so I snaked it. Sora's character has little to no other similarities to Hisoka though. :P

This talk of power levels and such amuses me. Just be aware that even if they don't seem to have a weakness, there's always going to be someone who can wreck their shit anyway, and it might be easier than you think. I've thought up completely reasonable ways to kill everyone, even for characters who I have no plans to kill off. It's entirely possible for all of them.

[Hank]

Wonder what my second power is.

[Walker of Darkness]

The river has flipped and the hands are being revealed, some played close the the chest, others in the open. But what awaits at the bend? Who will fold, who will bet?

Not even the barely veiled interest Hisoka had to Gon?

Power: Ability to defeat/kill/murder/stuff other Empowered people like they're nothing.
Pro: Can defeat any and all Empowered
Con: Still trash against non-Empowered.

I AM THE LAW.

ok ok, ill stop now.

Chapter 3 - Opening Salvos is now up.

I have two things of note to say.

First, this chapter is kind of chunky and long because I wanted to get a bunch of power descriptions out of the way instead of pussyfooting around with them. Deal with it.

Second, there will almost certainly be no new characters added after this chapter. If you have not been shown or named yet, you're probably never going to appear. Deal with it.
