Empowered - A Tale of Strength and Weakness in Spamopolis

[idlehands]

That was great and I really hate yours and Nexerus' characters. A lot. I want to suggest so many things to be done with them.

Good.

Maybe some horrible things will end up happening to them and it'll be nice for everyone.

Or maybe they'll come out on top and reign as the supreme douchebags of Spamopolis forever.

[Elendra]

As elements within the story, I enjoy pretty much everyone, but boy are there a lot of people I want to have die and or otherwise have unpleasant fates! Myself included!

That's weird.

A blindfold?

I got this guys don't worry

ahem

YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.

[Doivid]

I'm liking this quite a bit so far. Not so sure how I feel about my first power, but with both I can totally be a spy. 8D

[Lucian]

You're a cruel, cruel man, Jorick.

Jorick said 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.

Aw :(

Oh well, still entertaining to read.

Virtual pat on the back.

At least the story's good.

Several things, Jorick:
1. I lament the fact you grouped me with Zed.
2. Oh wow you sure bring the worst of Spam there. So many people I want to see dead.
3. Nice story
4. I'm wondering if story me's vibrate things is that limited.
5. What the hell is story me thinking for that second power? :/
6. More importantly, which would take priority, my extracting or Smiral's neutralizing powet?
7. Nice story.

You have a bright future ahead of you if you get into the female sex toy industry. ;D

That was an unexpectedly violent chapter. You are a magnificent bastard at unflinchingly writing about people you know being awful, awful caricatures. It's fantastic. :D

At least this time around, I'm cheering for myself for being a good guy (subject to change, I'm sure) and not just because I'm a brutal, murderous Peacemaker with awesome fighting skills.

[idlehands]

Dervish, you, me and Goldy make a great team. :D

And I agree, one of the reasons I like Jorick's writing is because he spares no one.

Was really hoping I'd be introduced as a military experiment named Subject #8 or something. Kind of a Weapon XI type thing, X-Men style.

Yeah, it's like I can only use them as vibr....dammit.
ohwell. Hope it's not that limited and I can gave a building a localized earthquake.

Oh bby

[pitwhousedtodopokemon]

Horrible. New chapter needs more pit.

In all reality it's good though.

1. Good.
2. Also good.
3. I know.
4. Maybe. You saw how Gold couldn't figure out anything great with his wind powers, then Idle gave him tons of ideas. There's all sorts of potential for seemingly shitty powers to be great. It isn't strong enough to shake down a building through sheer force though.
5. "I wish I could take that guy's power" when seeing some random Empowered guy doing cool shit with his not shitty first power. It's all about the phrasing. Story-Jorick's thought of "I wish I could trade powers with someone" gave him the power trading thing where consent is needed instead, for example.
6. Seeing as Smiral's neutralizing thing is an always on area effect, the moment your guy stepped into it that area he wouldn't be able to use his power stealing ability.
7. You already said that, you little shit.

Holding off on the on-screen violence for the first couple chapters was hard. Had to make it up to myself with this one.

And thanks, I'm glad it's appreciated. I'm mildly surprised that nobody has raged at me yet for making a super rapist character.

Not even myself.

Then it's useless, fuck that shit.
Even if I turn out can vibrate people to mess with their aim and balance and can do it on mass, if it can't be used to make buildings crumble, then it's useless. >:(

7. You already said that, you little shit.

It bears repeating, you SM bastard.
