[OOC] Experiments

[Drake Baku]

you guys have never before had this much company of me before
normally I am sleeping already, its 1 in the mroning

I am still up cause my wife is reading a book
i am beginning to think she might have lost track of time again...

[phantori]

This is so tirinnnnnng...

I wish I could stop time or something to go read all the posts, then continue it and let you post away again.

In the meantime, what the heck can I even post now? No one's really talking to Red... (Of course, I haven't read the IC posts yet, so maybe someone has.)

Who doesn't lose track of time in a good book? ^_^

[Drake Baku]

worst part is, she is a bookworm and can completely zone out of the real world
has been situations where you could actually drop something like a couple of jeans on her head and she wont even notice till she stopeed reading and only then notice the pain...

I dont think anyone had said anything to red directly
066 had yelled at everyone to take step away
you could respond to what happened after he yelled

[phantori]

Hm...that could work. Plus, she's about timed out on the "transformation sequence". It'll have to wait, though, I need to go eat something.

[Charlie]

This would be a fantastic telltale games series!

I have a similar problem. If I get really into a book, I will actually stop eating if I don't monitor myself. Luckily for me, I am by no means thin, so me not eating isn't overly bad right away. Now, I will often go without sleep too.

If a subject has a kid with another subject would the kids have powers?

[Drake Baku]

good question...
that would be a good reason to go into a discussion

We were all manipulated physically, so the question would be more:
to what degree will these changes be fixed to our DNA?
I mean if we would find someone with a robotic arm it wont be genetic BUT all the things we really know about modifications dont show up in our children cause there mostly outside only, not genetically fixed..

I KNOW, look at plants, there are plants that have been genetically modified to create new breeds of flowers, BUT if we were to find any that can still have new children in those, will they be the same as before modification OR will it be the new breed?

its truly a good question...
we are not officially possessing these powers, so our children should not have them
BUT it is genetically added,so our children might

BUT then we have an other question, would these children possess the same powers of one of their parents, or a mixed new power or a stripped down one
I dont see them having new unique powers due to the reason for us having them, if its in our DNA now then our seed/ eggs possess the same modifications

what are the thoughts of everyone else about this ^^

[Savato]

Well I think that if some have kids, they could eventually be 'mutations', having similar powers but the effects are different and such.

If we speak of passing on genes, there would probably be more chances of having a child that's a mutant by having both parents like experiments than a single parent being a freak and the other normal. There's also a chance they make a normal kid.

My character isn't developed enough to make children, so she can't naturally pass on her genetic disease and the immortality that naturally comes with it, let alone her powers.

[Lotrix Molick]

If it has modified the genes, then yes it will be hereditary to some extent. However, the child will not have the same power. It will be different but similar. If both parents have powers and the child gets the genes from both, the power would likely take aspects of both. However, if the child obtains only some of the genes, a power may or may not manifest in some way. (Basically, it would be a mutation with no actual effect as it lacks enough genes.)

Those with "stronger" powers, like 080, would be damn near guaranteed to pass on some aspect of their power as his DNA was essentially ripped apart like a kitten with a ball of yarn. So, if the power is a really vast change, then I could see the chances being higher. The less obvious changes are probably less likely to be passed in a way that will actually alter the child.

If it happens, I have a possible way to determine if the child has powers:

If both have powers:
roll d%
1-30: Child is normal
31-70: Child has power related to both parents
71-100: Child has power related to one parent (roll 50-50 shot to determine which parent)

If one has powers:
1-70: Child is normal
71-100: Child has power related to parent with power

If one has really obvious power:
1-30: Child is normal
31-100: Child has power related to parent with power

[Drake Baku]

I like Shade's idea ^^

I do wonder however, eventually we will get a power upgrade, so how will that result with the child matter

BUT I also think some people might just give the child a cosmetic mutation
080 and 010 both possess clear appearance mutations, I can see how a child might get his/ her looks from them WITHOUT the powers that come with it

Possible. In 080's specific case, the cosmetic change is associated with the stone skin power

[Whirlwind]

I agree with, passing some sort of power trait onto offspring, probably like a 1 in 5 chance they get nothing, but never the exact same power as the parents. Probably just a form. Kind of like Cyclops and Havok in the X-men series, brothers with similar mutations but different.

Is our blind cyclops going to mate with the FrostyFire snake of the group? o:

She'll prefer the soft hugs of the young woman trapped in a little girl's body? ;D

That didn't sound creepy at all, lol. She'd still probably prefer Shin's hugs, but sure- hugs all around! :D

[Drake Baku]

hahahaha

well the powers of the childs do need to be connected to the parents due to the parents powers as its genetically linked.
not like with X-men where a child of cyclops can generate crystals or something XD (just a random example)

But she'll feel sad of you think that! :o
