Good to have you. That would work fine. If I was writing one like that, I'd go with someone like gambit who can "charge" melee weapons and bullets. You can do whatever you want, though.Also, in my stories there's something called "magebane". It's a sedative that also suppresses a person's powers. Against really strong people that's not enough to stop them, but for your run-of-the-mill otherkin it works fine.

Magebane, eh? A nice, non-lethal and battlefield control thing. I wonder if I can find a way to use syringe like darts (similar to a tranquilizer dart) in regular weapons......
I'll go look up some stuff.

Also, to have acquired the powers, is it possible for the power set to have originally materialized in the family just before what is considered modern history, and then skip generations every so often, and shows up when one of the family with the power-set touches an object with the intent to use it as a weapon? Not very well-worded, I know, but I hope you get the idea. That way I could make jokes about Audie Murphy being my character's grandfather

It could go active, and skip generations. Normal genes skip generations sometimes. Or the gene that unlocks our powers could skip generations. It would then lie dormant but activated until you needed it. At that point you would get one power from the set.

Hey there TachyonBlade, so your post ^above^ made me remember about one of the XXX movies (Triple X or something) with a firearm which does use syringe like darts. I just thought you might me interested in it. Link it's the Model 629 with the colourful bullets.

Hmm. That would be ideal, then. Well, on to making Coolkid Mcgee with guns. I'm pretty sure one of my tactical power would be ammunition out of metal or the material the ammo is made out of, because running out of ammo = bad

Oh yeah, Triple X... Pretty good action movie, with some... decent acting and plot. Shame about the second one.

But anyways, yeah, that would work pretty well. I was going to go with a S&W *insert one of their really powerful models here* anyways, so if we assume that the modified pistol would be provided by the BPI, that would compliment my anti-power kit pretty well. I just need to settle on a role. Battlefield control is out, damage spiking is likely, debuffing is also likely with Magebane, but I'm going to make any ammo refreshing powers not affect those darts. Or I could just pump everyone full of them, spam them everywhere, and then boom, everything ever is all right. For a bit.

I started an OOC.
It includes a sheet for species, in case you want to make one for your character. I've put succubi, Seraph, dwarves, elves (referred to them), imps, and Watchers (roswell aliens) in my stories so far, plus one evil spirit. If you want me to right them up, just tell me. I may do it anyway, though.

Astral Ammo? Summoned? Or you could just carry insane amounts of ammo.
The magebane darts block paranormal abilities, so it would make sense that they scramble your powers a bit if you try to use them on mage-bane.

I would have suggested a hammerspace for ammo, but then I nearly laughed at how abusable that would be. Fill the hammerspace with bullets, and if we come across an eldritch abomination, just empty out bullets and explosives, throw grenade into pile, and run.

So, I think I'll just go with carrying a whole lot of ammo. Not like I'm gonna use that much.

Lol, the words 'I wonder if' tempted me to make the suggestion. Just wanting to let you see that it is possible to have syringe like bullet darts. Your character sounds like it will be pretty darn awesome :)

Thanks a lot. Its a personal preference of mine, to make revolver toting normal or close-to-normal humans with a love for aviators and AC/DC.

You are very welcome :3

Another bit of lore:

How to make a god:
1) Follow the "how to make an otherkin" steps with no regard for if the creature can reproduce with anything outside of its group.
2) Continue it for so long that the species you created is as far beyond humans as humans are beyond chimpanzees.
3) Congratulations, you made a god.

How to make a demigod:
1) Find a species you, as a god, want to interbreed with.
2a) Make sure it's within the first few days of pregnancy or
2b) Artificially impregnate it.
3a) Standard reproductive practices or
3b) Bodily fluid transfer of another type.
4) The Reproductive Retrovirus in your body rewrites much of the DNA in the cell/mass of a few cells.
5) Congratulations, you made a demigod.
