[OOC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

[Subject Zero]

Well, now I'm imagining a dance squad of clones completely in sync with each other.

@Noire

As was I. That's exactly why I added that one.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Accepted, Subject!

[BingTheWing]

I'm sort of thinking of this guy who can affect the momentum of objects. E.g he can stop speeding bullets, or throw a ball into the air and let it smash through a brick wall.

[Subject Zero]

Like kinetic energy manipulation?

[BingTheWing]

Soort of. But not with molecules, just physics and inertia and stuff (not my best subject). Oh, and he can create and destroy momentum, not just transfer it.

[RoflsMazoy]

I think we had one of those, except she had about two posts before dissapearing. Although, that one was apparently twisting things in ways. I'm not entirely sure. We also had another one that controlled friction which is sort of similar in the usage at least. Here are links: Pamela and Cypress (second character on that list) On a side note, manipulating potential energy would be pretty sweet but completely over-powered.

[Subject Zero]

I've played a character with basically that power (and then later his clone) and it was really fun, so I say go for it. My character was able to affect his own momentum for movement. For example he could run much faster than normal or jump up into the air and push himself further. Kind of like Alex Mercer in Prototype.

[Archmage MC]

Be careful when controlling primal forces. You can very easily break any character that is in control of a primal force.

Hello every one! If this is still open I was hoping to do a character with replication or mimicry type abilities, there would be limits for sure but I want to run the idea by everyone because its completely rational to not want that kind of character in the RP. There's no hard feelings if you agree, I have plenty of back up ideas.

[Revans Exile]

@Sapphire Would your character be more like Rouge from X-Men or Peter Petrelli from Heroes?

Oh, actually our arc 3 plot device is basically like that. Except she can perfectly replicate and use all other meta powers... Actually, you're probably not supposed to know about that either... But it's Arc 2 stuff so I guess it's fine?

@RoflsMazoy

Arc 3? You talking about Gia because that's out in the open and that's Arc 2. Unless you guys have been secretly plotting behind my back, you traitors! Also, Gia could use any abilities completely. From what I've read in the past five minutes, mimicry seems to be an illusion of sorts. Could you give more information on the powers, Sapphire?

[Sapphire]

@Revans Exile

I was thinking more like Peter Petrelli, except I never liked that after a certain point he just knew how to use all the powers so they won't be getting any knowledge from people and I promise they will NOT be a Sylar but will suffer from a similar hunger for power and knowledge.

@RoflsMazoy

So arc three is going to be Metas vs all Metas rolled into one. Its funny to me because I was planning on my character very calm and meditative, in moral alignment they will probably be neutral good, they will likely be opposites. If you're cool with it I'd like to go ahead and make my character.

[Subject Zero]

Personally I'm not very fond of having powers like that in game. It makes that one character look so much more powerful than everyone else and kind of detracts from the other characters. If it was like Rogue and they only had one power at a time, I'd be ok with it but not if they can just do everything everyone else can do.

@NarcissisticPotato

Yesh! Explaining is fun ^.^ So basically, if this isn't already a thing, my character can sense other metas and in some cases their ranking. When she is within a 10 foot raidius (distance is subject to change) of another meta she replicates their power, she will know what it is but not how to use it. Any other knowledge about that power she has will stem from her own studies. She actually spends a lot of time working with an organization that teaches metas how to use their powers (this is assuming I can make my own faction, which I will if I can) learning how to use powers besides her own and it takes a lot of effort on her part. Using other peoples power basically requires her to think like they would and then try to replicate the process they would most likely use to access their powers, for powers that are pretty common (Assuming certain types of powers can be common *Technopaths*) this isn't as much of an issue because her 'faction' has likely helped a person with that power and has a record of it. So if mimicry is an illusion then no she does not have mimicry but Half Replication (Knows some about the power D/C/B), whoever Gia is has Full Replication (knows everything about the power A/S/SS). These are different from Basic Replication or Passive Replication (little to no idea that a power is even being replicated, usually never know about their power E/F). Does that help?

[Subject Zero]

Sounds a lot like Synch from Generation X to me. How long does she keep a power after acquiring it? Does she have it forever or does she lose it after a certain time or when the person leaves the area?

@Subject Zero

Neither, I handicapped them so much in other ways that it just kind of made more sense to have them be kept, plus her situation with 'Avarice' makes every encounter dangerous but I'll explain that more later.

@Sapphire

I see no issue with it.

[Subject Zero]

Yeah, I know I said I don't like that power but you seem to have a good handle on it. Btw, just because I'm interested in how these things work, what would happen if she encountered one of my characters duplicates? Would she be able to make her own duplicates if only the original Legion can clone himself?

[Gentlemanvaultboy]

If she meets me does she grow an owl head?
