[OOC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

[RoflsMazoy]

Loki does not sound like a 26 year old

He sounds like a 12 year old who knows what he wants to do in life and is in the process of doing it but hit some minor delays

[Lord Santa]

Hey, he's childish

He's not supposed to act his age

[RoflsMazoy]

@AcerRo @Teal @MiddleEarthRoze

I think we should probably collab to finish off this encounter when roze comes back because we are falling way behind in the times here

We started our encounter chronologically two days ago in the story or something

[Teal]

Just you three. My character is already out of the group. I only want to see if Roze has anything to say to him before I leave.

Holy shit! Two chronological days? I thought we're still in the same day.

[NarcissisticPotato]

I think it's just one? Ruby getting into Stucorp and facing off against Cedric occurred on the same day so we're currently on the day after that! Anyhow, just get a collab finished then you guys can come and play with some proper villains! Also, can someone TL;DR that whole encounter for me? From what I've read, it's just Elijah and Roze agreeing to team up with the good guys!

[AcerRo]

Pretty much Roze wants to go with Alec and Elijah is all about that Stucorp. If (s)he doesnt post by the time I get some time to post tomorrow. I'll post and hand her a phone so we can get to move on without leave he(r) behind too much.

My crappy posts should be coming to an end soon.

[RoflsMazoy]

@Roze @Bee

Since we're just about to wrap this up, can we just collab the very last part of this on bee's page? Since Acer isn't here, we should at least start with us and add him in later or something

[Teal]

A sensible way to solve this is to pretend that the whole argument with Elijah, Roze, Alec and Alto happened before the current events and then going with a timeskip, detailing the trio participating in..whatever's happening. What do you guys think?

Also, will come up with a post soon.

[RoflsMazoy]

That might be what happens, we'll see how it goes

[QuietThinker]

Is this still open to new players? Because I've got a character and an idea on how to introduce him to the world rather organically ._.

Not a GM, but I'm positive it's still open. Throw us a sheet.

[QuietThinker]

Not a GM? How does that work?

---

Name: Mark Heaton

Alias: Wire

Age: 19

Affiliations: Aperture

Description: He stands at 5 feet and 8 inches. He is Caucasian, and has brown hair and light brown eyes. A slim yet toned build.

Powers: Wire has nerves which transmit signals at the same speed as a wire. On average, that is a 300,000% improvement, and it permeates every nerve cell in his body and brain. This has given him the curious ability to change his perception of time at will, from real-time to almost a dead stop. 15 seconds could be extended to a full year; he has all the time in the world to formulate ideas and solve problems. The rest of his body is perfectly ordinary, unable to keep up with his thoughts, but able to work close to perfection within it's limits.

His thought process is also faster in general. Mark can grasp things quickly even without making use of his ability, due to how fast his neurons can make connections.

Nerve damage is not permanent for him. Unlike ordinary nerve cells, his can repair themselves back into full working order.

Weaknesses: Electricity can be particularly dangerous for him. As his nerves give little to no resistance to currents, shocks that make it through his skin pass straight through him to ground. This can mean that if he is hit by an electric shock, he may not even flinch as he can counter the spasms as it passes through his body; especially as it passes through so quickly. However, if it passes through his heart, he is at serious risk of death from even a small shock.

Computer and TV screens are restricting to him, as he cannot use them and his ability at the same time. No screen has a fast enough refresh rate to keep up with him.

Skills: Wire is able to act without any noticeable hesitation. His combat style can be created on the fly to suit his opponent. He can learn new skills with breathtaking speed.

Equipment: A handcannon with a variety of different ammunition, as follows:

Incendiary rounds
Tranquiliser rounds
Armour piercing rounds
Explosive rounds
Grappling hooks
Tracking bugs
Liquid nitrogen capsules (for particularly troublesome metas)
Adhesive capsules (for metas not affected by tranquilisers)

Ranking: B

Other information: English

There's no official GM for this rp because the gm disappeared ages ago, and we've kind of done everything without one, with certain players handling certain npc factions. Currently, Letter bee handles stucorp and the FBI while (I believe) potato and rumiko handle aperture. So I guess, if anyone were the gms, they'd be bee and potato but that's just as far as I know.

This is really for anyone that needs to know.

Also as far as I know, this rp is open pretty much indefinitely but that's just my take of things.

What Santa said, sums the most of it up! Right now, Quiet, I'm debating if I'm ok with his powers. I suppose a certain level of unpredictability would counter him? With that in mind, I shall give you my seal of approval but let's see what the others say!

[Letter Bee]

I'll wait for Rofis, Acer, and Roze to add something.

[Teal]

@Potato, I think he's good to go

@Quiet, and if you have any questions about the plot, let me know. I have a full summary of what's happened until now in my PM storage.

Not so much unpredictability as things he physically can't handle, which I suppose unpredictability plays into. Like, he could watch a bullet being fired at him, but couldn't do anything but watch. If he saw someone pulling a gun on him though, he could probably move out of the way of the barrel in time if they aren't a rather quick shot. He can make mistakes too, and feints will have some effectiveness against him. Oh, and he has to activate his ability himself, so that can dull his reaction time quite significantly. Not to mention he can't exactly do anything about stuff outside of line of sight.

I get quite particular with my powers. If you think anything's too vague, then I'll try to elaborate.

That would be appreciated!

[Aura]

I want to post but I feel like the scenes keep moving too fast for me to even find a place to post. I'm not talking about people posting too fast but the scene abruptly going ok that's done now we're suddenly here. I'm not sure if I'm the only one >< but yeah... it finds hard to have character interactions with that happening

[Teal]

I made a Dean post. Sorry for being so lazy, but I'm really not fond of him. I'd like to get rid of him as fast as I can so that I can work on my own stuff.

[AcerRo]

Bee's post under Roze's. Is he talking to us or someone else. Cause I'm about to straight head to Stewies.
