MusokaI believe he was referring to both duration and number of adaptations. As for the former, I've already given my opinion while for the latter, I think this doesn't seem like that much of an issue. I doubt their would be scenario that would require more that three adaptations, and I think that's stretching it. There could be certain situations that would require more, but I just can't think of any without exaggerating it.
As for your question regarding someone who is able to counter an adaptation, then good for them. I think that's more of a merit to that person instead of a weakness. Lastly, I don't see why all the adaptations would need weaknesses.
I think Jinxer was more focused on me having sufficient weaknesses/requirements/limits; uncontrollable since it requires the presence of a threat and the abilities being temporary. Like I mentioned, compared to the ability I'm suggesting, I don't think some of the other characters have that many weaknesses and limitations given the power they've chosen. I'm just hoping for some impartiality.
I appreciate your suggestions Jinxer. For the time limit, I think sustaining the ability until the threat is no longer present is a good enough duration since I doubt certain threats last that long. Getting hit by a car, stabbed, or poisoned would require abilities that would only last for a few moments. Temporarily phasing through a car, skin hardens the moment one is about to get stabbed, or developing some sort of immunity for the specific type of poison; several seconds would suffice. However, in the event a threat lasts longer than expected, I'll moderate the duration to not completely counter the situations thrown at me. Would that suffice?
The idea of further developing this ability further is quite interesting and if you have any more suggestions on how to control the initial manifestations of this ability, I'm all ears.

In terms of a time limit, the powers would remain until the threat is no more. In the scenario where a tank falls on top of you and you'd develop super strength or toughened skin, I'd expect the abilities to last until you aren't under the tank and being crushed anymore. Any sooner and you'd probably be dead.
As for other limitations, I think having it only activate in the presence of an incoming threat and only being temporary is a pretty good weakness. When not faced with anything, my character would just be a normal person.
Comparing this to the other abilities and weaknesses of characters that have already been accepted, I think this seems pretty fair. The abilities Diego copies seem like they're permanent while only having physical contact as a prerequisite as its weakness; not sure if I missed something though but that doesn't sound like that much of a weakness. Also, if I sound rude in anyway, that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to point it out as an example and this was the best I could find.

Can I use this as an ability?
Preemptive Adaptation - The power to instantly develop powers and/or skills in response to unavoidable and imminent threats in the future. The users can either instantly develop powers or abilities to deal with threats or their bodies dynamically learn from experience.
Examples: They can grow harden skin after foreseeing being shot to death or stabbed. The user will even develop a power to counteract the powers of another, such as gaining a Psychic Shield to protect oneself from a soon to be telepathic intrusion. After a certain situation the user's skin may become tougher, they may display increased IQ after a difficult test or fortified emotions after a personal argument. User may be able to read different languages after moments of looking them up or be able to withstand a constant bombardment of radiation.
As for limitations, the ability only activates for imminent or very probable threats to the user and the powers gained are likely to be lost once the threat is gone. Maybe the user may or may not be able to control adaptations. And also, some adaptations may be in conjunction with weaknesses.
Yay or nay?

Oh. I guess that means I have to make a character then.
Will this RP start anytime soon?
So, what is everyone up to now?
What's a SiCs?
Not really too keen on Japanese lore. The only knowledge I have regarding old Japan, at least in the anime world, is from Samurai X.

Either seems fine. The personification of the seven deadly sins sound awesome too.
Maybe you could also include any mythical creature and just label them as demons. Making use of lore from other countries would be cool too; you know, something like the Yokais from Japan.

I'm keener.
Darn it, that's quite a tempting offer.
