[OOC] Running from the World

[Vetis]

Whoop, I was thinking of another limitation for John, he can only take traits he knows about or can reconfigure, so to expand on his powers he needs to research them, so to start with, John would have like 3 or 4 traits from the off, but to gain new traits (ill ask first to see if they are viable for the parameters of his power) he needs access to information
as for the starting traits:
Speed
Strength
Jumping power
and I was thinking durability in some way or another

[Temporary]

Using the information we now have from the in depth overview I will be able to ask with complete intent, knowing that the RP will be starting soon. Everyone, hit me up if you wanna be in SOUL. I'll hook you up fatty style xD

[RadioactiveRat]

@Prince of Seraphs Thanks for the introduction.

@Everyone Since there are possibly 4 prisoners per cell, who wants to be in the same cell as Manuel, the guy who's been in the joint for over four years and a decorated veteran of the meta fighting arena? His power is extreme regeneration, and he's a walking mountain of muscle. He faced off against many meta-prisoners in duels over the years and has much combat experience. He doesn't belong to any faction, but he's a well-known prisoner himself, who looks after his "people", the few that manage to stick around and keep him calm.

* A question for the GM - can I assume that Manuel is used frequently in the arena to test out new metas, because of his meta ability? Can I also assume that because of that, Manuel has some renown and influence in the prison, extensive combat experience and possibly the first meta most new inmates encounter in the facility (when they're tested in the arena)?

[Vetis]

@radioactiverat sure, im game lol

[Matsuri]

Wew, the hype is real! Can't wait for this RP to start.

I imagine my character Norvandell to be a freak among freaks. He has no powers of his own and copies powers instead. There might be factions that want him, but won't necessarily like him. Plus, I also imagine him to stay out of fights as much as possible while finding a suitable meatshield/scapegoat to hide behind while farming as many privileges as possible from arena fights.

Pity we're just gonna leave the prison, but that's what I imagine my backstory to be like.

[Lady Seraphina]

@Scarifar Thinking of your character I should also mention that the Arena fights are open for all the prisoners to watch. It adds a bit of excitement to there lives and being able to fight and get better circumstances for themselves gives them hope so they'll be less likely to revolt. Bread and Circuses.

@Scarifar

Depending on how this goes a number of us could end up back at the rebuilt Center.

@RadioactiveRat

The Arena fights are voluntary but during the "training" time the mutants get to hone there powers Manuel could easily be roped into being a teacher, and by that I mean a punching bag for Metas who can't control their powers. I mean the guy can't die after all so.

[RadioactiveRat]

@Prince of Seraphs I'll admit Manuel is at a natural disadvantage against most meta prisoners in such a fight, but I'm certain that his experience will put him on top of a surprising amount of seemingly powerful meta fighters. He has the experience of literally hundreds of fights in the arena - he doesn't need to rest in between fights, and he had been there for over four years - so he can beat the crap out of newbies that can't handle themselves under pressure. Besides, Manuel likes the pain - it makes him fight even harder. He can be the punching bag, but he can also pack quite the punch (that doesn't sound right, does it?).

@Vetis Sure, but the power-dynamic between the two characters' personalities will be weird.

[Apokalipse]

someone should make another faction that has a fierce rivalry with SOUL so when we get rescued it'll be like watching a movie because the two factions' members might get in a little scuffle every now and then and i love me some drama

I'm excited (:

I'm shaking in my custom-made baby seal leather boots.

@RadioactiveRat

makes it all the more interesting then :P

[TheUnknowable]

My powers aren't really useful in battle, so my guy's probably at a bigger disadvantage than Manuel. I could find him afterwords and make him relive his childhood trauma, but in battle, I'll just have to rely on my martial arts.

[RadioactiveRat]

@TheUnknowable Y'know, that's probably one of the few effective ways of taking Manuel out of the picture. If you hit him, he will like it, and he'll just keep coming for more.

HA! Elizaveta can take you guys DOOOOOWWWWWWNNNN!!

@TheUnknowable

The Arena, like the fighting aspect of the Arena is nightly but it's also voluntary. If a meta doesn't want to participate they don't have too. There are scheduled times for different metas (or possibly groups of metas) to use the Arena for training. People don't pay for meta-soldiers who can't use they're powers so the Center needs to train them. Since the Arena is one of the few places were abilities work it is a natural option. If you don't have a combat related ability you'd likely train more in the Auction House since it's filled with a variety of things that could be used to train non combat related powers.

Oh and for guy with the release your burden ability he'd likely be part of a bunch of lab tests where they'd force him to swap memories with someone or alter there mind so they could figure out how to do it without him. Just a heads up.

[RadioactiveRat]

@Apokalipse Manuel likes Elizaveta... Bring on the Pain!

[Lady Seraphina]

HA! Elizaveta can take you guys DOOOOOWWWWWWNNNN!!

@Apokalipse

Can't touch me.

@Prince of Seraphs

yeah, I put in his CS that they were trying to duplicate his power.

[TheUnknowable]

@RadioactiveRatjust out of curiosity, what trauma does he have that I can exploit help him deal with?
