@Shard
I do, however, want to keep away from the aura being a purely 'affects people's emotions' thing - in the first RP I tried this powerset with, it was, and it was kind of just a 'your character thinks this about me because I said so', which is never good. As a result, people tended to just sort of ignore it.

The idea of it dialing up with his emotions is a good one, though. I never want it to be totally unnoticeable, but in regular circumstances it could be more 'goosebumps and this guy's weird', which would go with the fact that he tends to show up behind people, say cryptic but comforting things about their personal life, and then just walk away, and when he gets more emotional it might get cranked up to 'vomiting, nosebleeds and oh god what the fuck is this thing'. I think that strikes a good balance - he'll never exactly have a thriving social life, but a few particularly patient people could manage to be his friend.

And the signals thing is totally fine, I just wanted to justify the idea that animals don't like him. If that can get baked into the aura, then that works for me - maybe they're just more sensitive to it?

Thank you for the comments!

@TheWizardLizard

I am excited to see how my character's pythons will interact with this ability.

This is another interesting power unlike the usual things that crop up in this style of roleplay; and it makes Shard and I very optimistic. Please keep inventive powers like this coming! They are so refreshing.

We think you have the power pretty much down, you've thought about what it allows her to do and how it will negatively affect her, too. We like that you gave the venom healing qualities too, that's a definite step away from how most people might interpret a snake-based character. Our only questions are relating to the snake-hairs:

• Are they sentient on their own - i.e. do they move around etc without her influence? Or does she have complete control over them, and without her influence they are inanimate?
• Is she able to cause them to grow and shrink, move them around, etc? We assume so but just wanted to check.

Also, we understand why you'd like to add pyrokinesis (relating to the mythical creature), but we feel the 'snake theme' is much more coherent and that fire powers would detract from that. We would prefer she didn't have pyrokinesis. Overall, another great power!

@Tyler

You guys are making me flush with all y'all compliments on her powers.

I am completely okay with not having pyrokinesis. It would be more of an aesthetic power if anything, you know?

I had this vision that the pythons were partially sentient; They would be mainly motionless without her activation but would occasionally move around and hiss.

Yes she would have the ability to make them grow, shrink, ext. I added a wikipedia page to provide more insight on trichokinesis.

http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Hair_Manipulation

I guess that portion of the power is better outlined her weakness and limits portion of her abilities.

@Shard

Yes, they would inject venom very much like a syringe.

I have a desire for a gorgon like character. I have fleshed out a character design and the powers will be something like this;


I have weaknesses fleshed out too.

Powers

Gene is a copy cat Gorgon. Her power’s are very alike to those of the mythological serpentine beast.

Her main power is prehensile trichokinesis; Otherwise known as “hair manipulation”. The difference between most with this power and Gene, is that her ‘hair’ is composed of snakes. The venom that each snake contains is not lethal, but the polar opposite. The “venom” is an extremely powerful healing substance that can cure aliments ranging from physical wounds to tumours.

Gene’s yellow pythons are incredibly resilient and are not severed easily.

Gene also manifests many of the physiological adaptations of a snake. This includes a flexibility that is parallel to professional contortionists. This is complimented by her collapsable spine and ribcage. While her eyesight is certainly lacking, her body is incredibly sensitive to vibrations and can detect movement through vibration in the air and ground.

I was wondering if I could potentially add minor pyrokensis to her power list, considering Gorgons often had this ability. If not, then that's completely okay!

Portwood Institute for Talented Youths (PITY) - Super-School Interest Check

I am interested!

Academy 218: Still looking for new people to join - now is the primetime.

I was wanting to play a medusa/Gorgon like character; I was wondering if I could have hair manipulation (much like the Superhero Medusa)/Snake like attributes alongside minor pyrokenisis (sorry if I butchered the spelling, on the run rn). Gorgons in mythology had this attribute. There would be a twist to it; My idea was that the fire would be actually more of a healing power, but can be used as a weak offensive power.

I am very interested in this! Read the OOC, and adore this idea!
