So Mark and Red are both deductionists, eh? Things are getting interesting (though he is not social at all :P )


The difference between the two is that Mark has to do it all consciously, which means he's pretty fallible. He just has as much time to think about things as he wants.

Red on the other hand just has to look and then he knows. He can do things that Mark never could as far as deductions go.. For example, he could probably learn another language pretty easily, while it would be just as much a struggle as it would a normal person for Mark :D
Wire

In his quest for sustenance, he was stopped in his tracks by a man he did not know what to make of.

"Now you is an odd-lookin' feller," the man said "How do you breathe in that bubble? Fletcher Ross, by the by. Pleased to make your ah-quaint-ence."

Well if that isn't the most antiquated of accents I have ever heard.
Just roll with it.


"..Wire" He said after a calculated pause. He wanted him to know that he thought that he was 'odd-lookin'. Especially with those old fashioned revolvers strapped to his hips. And then he disarmed any tension that could arisen by changing the subject back to the business at hand.

"Any idea where to get some damned food in this place? I'm bloody starving."

His British accent coming through his voice filter. He wondered what his response to that would be. He kept a hidden eye on 'Fletcher Ross's' facial expression. He didn't yet know how much he wanted to get along with this guy, but friends were certainly better than acquaintances.
"So you have one of the more subtle powers?" Nikki grabbed onto a gym bag she had brought with her and pulled it closer to herself. "I got one of the powers people would call 'disgusting', heh."

Mark very slightly turned his head, as he kept his eyes on that bag. A small smile creeped up on his lips, as he briefly tried to think what relationship she had with the bugs in that little bag. It was obviously bugs: he could hear them. Not that it was his business to pry if she didn't want to expand on it further. He knew he didn't. But it was too late, and he had lost himself in his thoughts.

"So, what's your name?"

Oh dammit

He rose a palm to his head and with it obscured one of his eyes apologetically. He let out a small laugh.

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to be so rude! My name's-"

"Hello Nikki! I hope I am not interrupting the conversation between the two of you!...", he turned to Mark, "...my name is Red Winston! Pleased to make your acquaitance!"

Mark dropped his hand back to his side as he looked at this new person.

...Just one more analysis. But don't you forget where the conversation is!

Red. Strange name. Was he born with it? I'd imagine so, and I have no clue what that speaks of his background, but I doubt that it is strictly 'ordinary'...
I tell anything about his powers just on looking at him.
Now why did he approach me? Well, we've got someone he knows here in the form of nervous Nikki, and he seems like the social type unlike the two of us. So if Nikki approached me because I looked normal, and she knows this person who also looks normal.. it would be safe to assume that he is either too social for her to handle all of the time, that he is a social butterfly, or that his ability is something that makes her feel uncomfortable around. As in, he has something that makes her not regard him as normal. Hmm.

I'm going to say that there is an 100% chance that this guy just wants to talk with people. There is literally no malice here. As for his relationship with Nikki.. I'm going to say its at 10% for him being too much for her to handle: why would she then approach me? Surely that would then just make more potential things to deal with. Social butterfly is seeming pretty likely. Thats getting a 55%. With someone like Nikki, from what I've seen anyway, it is quite likely that she will have been befriended, dragged along a bit, and then left on her own as he went off to different people. This is different from the first option, because that implies that she tried to get away from him.. That is almost definitely not the case if she went out of her way to greet me. Unless of course the final option is correct: she doesn't see him as a normal person. That would imply that she wouldn't be too against the idea of them being separated. But this is going to get 35%, because quite frankly, I can't tell what ability he has with a glance. That and he doesn't seem to want to show off, and being an extrovert, I highly doubt he would give up on that chance. But I just don't know, and I'm not going to dig. If I don't, then they shouldn't.

Now.. where were we? Ah, introductions.


With his thoughts in order, time snapped back to full flow.

"Hi! Glad to meet you!" He said this with as much enthusiasm as he could muster out of thin air. Which evidently wasn't enough to sound genuinely happy, but made sure he didn't sound sarcastic or dismissive.

"So I've just arrived today really. Did I miss anything important, like a safety drill or something? I don't know, this place is just far more insane than I was lead to believe!" He spoke to both of them, and this he said with genuine interest. He gave Nikki a slight smile with, as if to silently reassure her.

And although he had told himself not to forget where the conversation was.. he had forgotten to give his name.
Dagnammit, when I post something lengthy, I'd at least like some acknowledgement..

Especially when I put some science into it! >_<
Mark

It was when he noticed an Asian boy staring at him in his peripheral vision that Mark realised just how self absorbed he was currently being. Here he was, in a group of the strangest people he had ever seen, and all that he could ponder was himself. He snapped back to reality, and took a look at his Rolex to make sure he was back to the right time-frame. It was ticking a tad bit too slow. Rats. He calmed himself, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes. It was ticking away again as it should. It never let him down.

"Hi!"

He looked up, and saw that the Asian boy was actually a girl, and that they were most likely Korean. He gave her one of his patented slight-tight-lipped grins. And as she drew a breath to start her next sentence, he accidentally began to analyze her.

What is she doing at the back? A lot of people are going forward to give some demonstration of their stuff, or are talking amongst themselves like theres nothing important going on.. So, is she malicious? Unlikely giving the innocence of that wave, but I can't think of a reason why else she would be at the back of a group like.. No wait, theres the answer. She's a fish out of water, just like me. She's surrounded by the fantastical, and I'm pretty sure she'd be happier to talk to a normal guy that the 8ft lizard. Not that theres anything wrong with being an 8ft lizard.. it's just damned intimidating. Or maybe I'm just projecting myself onto her... Maybe she's just the person that wants to make sure everyone is included.. Maybe she's effectively the welcoming committee and I've been noticed as new...

Alright, so thats a 10% of malice, 50% of nervous, and 40% of compassionate. Right then, so what else can I deduce given..


Mark suddenly realised what he was doing, and gave himself a small knock on the side of the head to snap him back. The world spun again. She very subtly slid closer to him.

"I'm Nikki Biyung, new student here, and I was wondering if I'm not the only one who is hesitant to stand up there in front of everyone."

He discretely raised an eyebrow.

Ah, it was nervous. I thought as much.. Now lets make a good first impression.

"Tell me about." He said while slightly shaking his head, looking ever so slightly upwards. Mark returned her gaze. "I'm really not sure whether or not I even belong here. You'd have to really pay any attention to even know that I have a power." He said it with a wry chuckle.
Oh woo, I get to do a thing!
Schradinger, the power seems a bit vague to me.. And I think its kind of a large jump between amplifying energies to giving her advanced healing and effectively a sixth sense that warns her of danger. That seems a tad OP to me.

I do like the concept though. Hows about instead of all energies, its just kinetic energy? And I'm going to throw some science into this.

Alright, you know how kinetic energy is a relationship between mass and speed? Well, what if there was a third part to that relationship; this blank energy? And she had the ability to manipulate this? This would mean that if she threw a punch, she could increase the kinetic energy of it without changing it's speed or it's mass. For simplicities sake, lets say that it would add 'blank mass' to anything she affects. A 30mph punch could be like being hit by a 30mph car. She'd need some speed for it to do any damage, but it would make all of her punches effectively unparriable.

And get this, more mass means it gets affected less by any force. If she applied this to herself when shes taking a hit, she'd take a lot less damage, and it would be like hitting a brick wall. All without adding any extra mass because it is 'blank mass'.

And this would mean anything could be deadly in her hands. A belt would turn into a flail without the heavy flail. If she applied this to air, she could make it very difficult for people to breathe. It does not mean she could conjure a weapon out of thin air though, as it's properties do not actually change: a belt would still behave like a belt, and air would still behave like air. It just affects how everything else interacts with anything with 'blank mass'.

This does mean that she wouldn't be able to heal herself though. You could easily make the argument that she could sense things through it, but you would have a tough time explaining danger-sense without some tough training. And for a weakness, this would definitely use some sort of mental muscle. And every muscle has a limit to how much it can do without taking a break.

But this is just my thoughts. Its not up to me what you do with your character :P
Wire

Daybreak came with a high pitched buzzing from a duffel bag. Wire raised his head slightly. He was slumped back in a chair, as he wouldn't sleep lying down if he wanted to keep his helmet firmly on his head. It was uncomfortable, and made him much too vulnerable to surprise attacks.

Not that he was expecting one. Still, he slowly pulled himself out of the chair, and stepped over to what he knew would be something important. He reached into the bag and pulled out his strange little device. He held it to his ear and focused on the sound, until finally, it was slowed enough to make some sense.

"..mmmaaaxximum security meta-criminal prison. There has been a breakout from the maximum security meta-criminal prison. There hass bbbbeeeeennnnn..."

It turned to white noise again as he unfocused to tap a button. The sound shut off. This was a lousy way to start the day. He'd have to get more information when he returned home: his software could only convey so much information automatically. But this was pretty important: he wondered how this would affect the fight that he had finally joined. Wire chose not to worry about this gigantic issue too much, as there was simply nothing he could do at the moment. He was just happy to be in the know.

With that, he put the gadget back into his bag, and went in search of some breakfast. And by "went in search", he went in search of the nearest other person who could direct him to where the mob stored their food.
Ah, fair enough. I'll go ahead and make him get some breakfast then XD
Hey MrD, whats happening with Wire and Sixgun? Are you waiting for me and Poly to post?
