[OOC] Viva La Fabre! Super-Power RP!

[Hebigami Shiho]

Yeah, totally all right with that :P

[NuttsnBolts]

I'll try and get a post up sometime today, but it will be lacking action xc

Apokalipse

Inactive posts are fine. They can help build to a better battle posts. :)

I would post as well, but I wanna wait another couple of posts so I can put some distance between my last post

RoflsMazoy

I generally like to have at least 2 posters between my posts, but that also depends on what's happening and if I'm involved with other characters. I haven't really got any interactions with others at the moment but hopefully that'll change soon.

[PlazmaStryke]

I will establish another post tomorrow then. Help keep up and all that. Btw, Hebi- I think I noticed two errors. I just wanted to point them out so that you could not feel....mad at yourself or anything if they are errors, and instead to so to me....cause I'm too tired to do anything but be honest at the moment. 1: You said Ryuosei was girl....middleish part of the top conversation. Right after his name. 2: You used "senpai" for Ryuosei, and not "Sempai," as I do believe is correct when it comes to genders. If I'm right, which I may not be, it's "senpai" for older girls, and "sempai" for older guys.

Ah, thanks, I notice it now after re-reading the post. I think I fixed that. :P And for the senpai part, it doesn't have different spelling depending on the gender, it is exactly the same. :D

Hello everyone! I'm very interested in joining this RP! The writing quality and community is great, and the characters are fresh and interesting. I'd like to iron out my power before anything else since that's typically the most troublesome part of a CS. Power: Trick House Effects: User can store, hold, and withdraw any substance within a "pocket" dimension. Dimension capacity: User's Trick House can store any variety of substances with a mass equal to the users mass. So a 180 pound guy could hold 180 pounds of water. Inside: Anything fully inside is effectively frozen in time. A baseball thrown in will maintain its speed, temperature, spin, ect. Storing and retrieving: Entrances and exits to the Trick House can be opened anywhere on the user's body, including his or her hair (technically dead cells), as long as said hair/fingernail/tooth is still attached to the user's body. Storage method 1: Say a meterstick was thrown at the user. The user can allow it to enter the space where his body is and absorb it as it moves forward, committing the entire length to the Trick House. Storage method 2: Say a meterstick spinning end over end is thrown at the user, and the user is holding his arm in the way. Since the entie length of the meterstick cannot be committed to the Trick House, yet it can still be absorbed, the meterstick will act as if the user's arm was insubstantial and pass straight through it. Limits and specifics:

• 1. When the user stops absorbing a substance partially within the Trick House, that substance will act as if it is connected to the user's skin. Pushing on it will push the user, pulling on it will pull the user. This could cause grievous injury.
• 2. The user can choose whether or not to absorb solids, liquids, gases, and light at will. Somewhat like changing the size of a filter.
• 3. Absorbing living things will cause the user nausea. Bacteria will have next to no effect, but even a small potted plant would cause extreme discomfort. Absorbing a limb would cause debilitating nausea. As a result, the user will unconsciously never absorb living substances if it can be helped.
• 4. The positioning of substances is not fixed within the Trick House. For example, to get at candy in a stubborn wrapper, the wrapped candy could be absorbed, then only the candy could be withdrawn.
• 5. The Trick House cannot be forcefully closed by any means. Half-absorbing and then stopping cannot cut substances.
• 6. When at full capacity, the user simply cannot absorb anything more.
• 7. Anything within the Trick House is known to the user. The user's mind, at a thought, can "know" what a substance is made of. For example, the contents of a box can be known by the shape and makeup of the contents. This knowledge is extremely difficult to fully grasp and utilize, but with practice, can eventually be used to read books by recognizing the printed ink on the paper.

IN SUMMARY User can absorb/expel any substance from anywhere on the body. Storage capacity is equal to user's body mass. Living things can be absorbed but will cause debilitating nausea. Strengths:

• Hard to injure user
• Opponent's strength/projectiles can be used against them
• Excellent at breaking into places
• Sort of capable of passing through walls

Weaknesses:

• Passing through a wall entirely would result in a nude user
• A falling brick may not be fatal, but a falling pallet of bricks would be
• A simple fist to the jaw is effective
• Highly vulnerable to shapeshifters

I know my profile's experience is sparse. (If you have doubts about my RPing experience, which is understandable, visit this forum. I admined and posted quite a bit on this RP.) Sorry for the really long and complicated post. I hope this power isn't considered OP or anything.

[Hebigami Shiho]

*Insert Power Explenation Here*

Mattie_

All right, I don't see a major problem with this. There are some guys in the RP that could actually be more OP in the near future. However, I do want to remind you that your character WON'T be starting with all of these effects, or at least, he will not know of them consciously. The whole concept we have here is that the players' characters are fairly new to their powers, confronting people who have had theirs for at least months now. If this isn't an inconvenience, then I am very much looking forward to your CS! Sounds like an interesting concept! :D

[RoflsMazoy]

If ya need nerfing we can all offer suggestions so don't be afraid to ask!

[NuttsnBolts]

Mattie: Took me a while but I managed to get the concept. So the idea of your power is that your body can absorb things like how a sponge absorbs water but it acts in the same way as if you had a loaf of bread and inserted a knife into it. Passing the knife into the bread from the end means that it could held 'within' the bread, but going from the side means that the blade will stick out one side and the handle out of the other side. (Just speaking out loud to understand the concept) It's a very unique sort of power and I like how you explained the Strengths and Weaknesses. That just helps people understand how to write and not accidentally make an error in judgement. Just make sure that when you eventually start your IC post your have your character freak the hell out cause I can tell you that if I was accidentally absorbing things and passing through walls I'd be scared shitless!

[Mattie_]

Thanks Shiho! I can't wait to start Hopefully I won't need any nerfs. Yes, NuttsnBolts, that's exactly right. Naw my character is going to be psyched he can hold things. His power originates from his nearly neurotic need to "be prepared" for any situation. Up until he comes into his powers, he'd be wearing vests and cargo pants with pockets aplenty to carry as much useful stuff on him as possible. Now that he's got everything he could possibly want on him, he's finally satisfied. Although falling through things and leaving behind his clothes will take some getting used to... XD

[NuttsnBolts]

So we won't see any of this? [Video]

[Mattie_]

lol that video Hmm more like falling through the top bunk onto whoever is below. Or maybe if the dorms alternate gender on each floor, he'll fall into the floor below. Maybe even while showering ;D

[vanovick]

Or actually... http://youtu.be/Hxm3VdgSjv8?t=1m45s Until 3:16.

[RoflsMazoy]

I notice the cast list hasn't been updated in a while It probably isn't a good time though because you're going to have to switch that first post to BB code

[Masaki Haruna]

We're starting the main event soon. Keep your eyes open people!

[Mattie_]

By the way, I won't be able to start until this weekend because of school stuff. Essays and presentations and stuff @_@ And question barrage now! 1. Are all characters supposed to receive the text sent by Ryousei? 2. How long has it been since Colors first started appearing? 3. Do Colors only appear in Ikeburo? 4. Is the general public at least somewhat aware that there are reaaaaally strange serial killers on the prowl, possibly using unique/impossible methods to commit crimes? (Would it be rumored that the superpowered are appearing in the city, or is this completely unexpected?) Sorry if some of these have been answered already.

Not a problem, we're slow paced right now. Yep, all characters will receive the text, so you can either start from that or with Mirurun's. The Colors have been around for quite a while now, however, it is uncertain whether or not the war actually has an end, since Mirurun is a troll and likes giving away powers just because. The first Color, or group of them, have already been killed, so it is impossible to know exactly how long they have been in here. Ikebukuro is Mirurun's playground, so yes, right now they are only in there. Of course they are aware, but since there are so many suspects, they are uncertain on what to do or who to go after. A police investigation is being held, though they are getting nowhere, for one reason or another. I hope I am neither too cryptic neither too spoiling with these, but if you got anymore questions or need anything clarified, PM me. I'll answer you to the best of my capabilities.

[Mattie_]

Thanks for answering, that cleared things up :)

[Renny]

Masaki and Hebigami, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to bow out. HAVE FUN!!!

[Hebigami Shiho]

Don't worry, don't worry. If you ever do feel like it again, just come back around here and we'll find a way to re-integrate you into the story! :D Good luck with any other RP's you might be in!

[Apokalipse]

Sorry I haven't been able to get a post up, I've been busy with a paper I had to write and since this was a slow-moving one, I had been posting on the ones that were more fast-paced. Anyways, I have to go for a bit, but I will post when I get back.
