Wow, y'all are moving quickly. I need to get my character together haha

Summer Storm

Where is everyone?

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

That works actually. Besides, they've had a busy day and would likely just pass out right away

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Actually, it completely slipped my mind. I was going to suggest time skipping to the characters meeting their roommates that first night. It's cool that there's a lot of inter-house friendships already forming, but it will definitely help for them to know the other first years in their house. Seems a little late now, but I figure whoever's interested can do a short thing through RP just so they can do first impressions?

@Fox@TheHangedMan What do y'all say we let Nolan, Julius, Konstantin and the other boys unfortunate enough to have to live with them get to know each other?

We are so sorry we overlooked your post! The OOC has been pretty busy, as you can see - so we're sorry for making you wait! We've discussed the powerset and we both love it, it would be a really interesting power to see applied to a character and so we can't wait to see the sheet, if you're still interested in applying.

One thing we both agreed on is that we would like the power to be a 'psychic'/'cerebral' type. Trying to explain what we mean as basically as possible, the power wouldn't effect him and make him imperceptible. He would use the power to effect other people's minds, causing him to be imperceptible specifically to that person. He can do this to more than one person at once, but naturally the more people he effects, the more difficult he finds it.

Weaknesses of this approach to the power would be that it has no effects on machines etc, which is a really important drawback for us. We also think that some developed psychics would be able to block out the power, or at least notice it is being used.

Please let us know what you think about our suggestions, as it is equally important for you to be happy with the power as it is for us. We are sorry we missed your first post.

I'm cool with all your suggestions. I'm cool with the cerebral approach, but it does bring up some implications. By this logic, he should be able to make others imperceptible to people as well. For now I'm leaving that as potential of a more focused power, if that's cool. My idea is that he knows how people see the world, and he knows his own characteristics on a very deep level and so can remove himself from their view. I believe that he could learn to remove other objects with difficulty, but never quite get people. Maybe make them stand out less at best. On the other hand, I think he should have no issue (aside from the typical difficulties of learning to use your power) getting people to pay attention to someone or something else, as long as he's perceiving it the same way. Say the person ahead of him in line is gonna get the biggest cookie at the buffet table. It's harder to make the cookie invisible to the guy than to just draw his attention to a different cookie.

There's a lot of little details I'm thinking about that came out of this. Trying to draw a line between what seems like "logical" extensions of his power, and what's too much. Also, the difference between things he can't do until he has more control and things he flat out can't do.

Yeah, been waiting on some activity. Hopefully it was just a busy weekend for everyone

How do you feel about a character being able to manipulate how perceptible he is to people? Say he could make himself completely imperceptible, where people are completely unaware of him, unable to touch see or sense him in any way. Perhaps even be unable to recall him. On the other extreme he'd be really obvious. People would just sense him even if not looking at him, they'd pay him attention over other people, his voice would drown out that of others. I'm still thinking on the limits and whether this ability also affects machines such as cameras, microphones, and and other recording/detection equipment, but what do you think?

@Prints Avoid

Didn't get any feedback on this so I thought you might've missed it. I'd like to know if this type of power is acceptable before I get to work on the rest of a CS.

Here's a power I've been thinking of using. Mind you, I'm not even sure I'll have time for this RP but since I was in a previous PITY RP long ago I feel I should keep it in mind.

No guarantees

Hope you get to feeling better! No rush, we can drag out the trip to the cabin as much as possible. Maybe run into a few bears. Run over a squirrel and feel terrible about it, realize they forgot the booze and make a detour to the nearest city, stop for a smoke, help some random kid get her kite out of a tree only to find neither the girl or the kite ever really existed. The possibilities are endless numerous!
