OK here's my villain app.





There was a lot of conversation and activity taking place, and Terra was doing her best to keep up with it. The fatigued man, identifying himself as Bruno, apparently tasted Ben's sweat to determine if he was lying or not. While Terra had the beginnings of an understanding of what was going on, Ben's later comments put the pieces together. Different Earths. Her father had described one of his most dangerous villains as being able to travel between alternate dimensions, and bring things and people from those dimensions with him. Could he be responsible for bringing them all here? She couldn't be sure, especially as her father had told her that the man with this power was dead, but she kept the idea at the back of her mind.

While she had been ruminating this, Ben had transformed into a different alien, and had begun to fuss with the console, eventually producing a holographic map of the facility they found themselves in. The Paradox Engine, it appeared to be called. Terra wasn't sure what that was supposed to mean, and instead tried to scrutinize the map. The wrist-mounted device that Ben used to transform also piqued her interest, but was of a lower priority. Meanwhile, this other character, Danny, claimed to be half dead and then melted into the floor. Terra watched him with deadpan confusion, before returning to the panel Ben was working on.

"This thing telling you anything besides a name? Where are we? A space station?" She herself tapped at a few buttons, trying to see if she could pull up any relevant information. She couldn't read the text, but Terra had fumbled her way through a few alien computer systems before. "Would love to know who built this place. Geldarians... Flaxans... If I could identify the power source, a reactor or something, I could hazard a guess at what this 'Paradox Engine' was built for."



Others continued to appear, and Terra's confusion only grew as they introduced themselves and bragged about their accomplishments. The alien turned into a human by means Terra didn't yet understand, and claimed to have saved the universe on multiple occasions. Between his technology that was unfamiliar to her and his grandiose claims, Terra wasn't sure what to make of this character. She was fairly traveled in the universe, and what she hadn't seen for herself her father had likely told her about, and she had never heard of this guy. She was admittedly less familiar with the superheroes of Earth, and couldn't reasonably disprove the other boy's claims, but his powers were interesting, and his claim of global recognition was spurious. Terra also had the feeling that she would have heard about someone that important, likely from her father. Their clothing didn't seem to be from modern Earth, anyway.

Her brow quirked in confusion, but Terra remained calm, stepping forward to see if the strangely-dressed man they were helping needed medical attention. He seemed mostly fine, but exhausted. She tried to talk to him to see if he was conscious, "Hello sir, can you hear me? Can you tell me your name?" She looked over at the Ben character, asking, "What's wrong with you? Hurt?" She took a serious look at them, grey eyes scanning them, analyzing the potential threat they represented. She didn't know enough to make a judgement. "Are you humans? Are you from the Earth? My father tells me about what superheroes of the Earth used to be like; is that what you're supposed to be?"


A blur of color tore through the skies of Talescria, the capital world of the Coalition of Planets. The blur had a name, Terra Grayson, and she had been raised on this world hundreds of years ago. As she observed it from the skies, she ruminated on how different it had become. Before, it was an ecumenopolis with spires stretching into the clouds, and the skies were choked with transports and aircars. Now, after the war with the Viltrum Empire, it was more idyllic. Greenery had taken over what was previously industrialized, and the empty sky scrapers teemed with plant life. Terra took a deep breath of the fresh air, and sped along through the sky. She had an appointment to make with an old friend today.

Or she would have, if a sudden flash of light did not rip her out of Talescria's skies and deposit her in... Well, she didn't know. It appeared to be indoors, a control room of types, in dilapidated condition. Terra hung in the air a few feet off the ground, fists raised, prepared for anything. There were others, a few humans by the looks of them, but others that seemed clearly not human. Her eyes flicked from person to person, trying to see if anyone had a better idea of what was going on than she did. Gauging that the level of confusion she currently had was shared with everyone else, she decided to feel out the person in the room that was the most unfamiliar to her.

"Hey you, alien!" She pointed at the black-skinned creature that was stood across the room from her. "I don't recognize your species. Are you the one that's abducted us?" Looking to the others, she saw that they were panicking, and felt that to avoid a chance of violence, she had to assume control of the situation. She descended to the ground, lowering her fists, and tried to speak in a softer tone. "My name is Terra. I'm a peaceful agent of the Viltrum Empire. I just want to know where I am, and why I'm here."
Don't ask Terra how her powers work. You'll come away more confused than before you asked.
spiritual genetics


@Lewascan2 It's not even canon to JJBA that nothing except Stands can affect or detect stands; both Cheap Trick (a stand) and Kira (a stand user) were killed by the ghosts of Reimi's alley.

I only mean "special club" as the idea of a superpower that is completely undetectable and uncounterable by the rest of the cast, because only characters from the same property (of which we have none so far) would be able to meaningfully interact with it.

Stands also aren't genetic, they're the ripple of the soul, an expression of spiritual energy into a battle-avatar. The Joestar family all has stands because The World is a fucked up stand, not because they're genetic stand users.
I think one of the better house rules I've seen in my time for stand users in a RP that has other canons involved went something like: stands count as ghosts/spirits/auras for people that can detect and interact with those kinds of things. Makes them seem less like their own special club.
You snoze, you loze.
@ActRaiserTheReturned Mostly just that it's accumulated like 60 years of comic book convolution in half the time.

I've never played a Final Fantasy game.
