No, you're falling three fucking stories. I am sure you've never jumped three stories ever in your life (I'm also fairly sure you've never done parkour either if you even remotely think that's possible), and I'm also very sure that if you did, the last thing going through your mind would be your own ass. I've fallen a maximum of fifteen feet when I did it, and you know what happened? I performed the roll perfectly, but you still need to LAND. I sprained my left ankle and very nearly broke my foot. And I landed on grass. Mild physical boost or not she wont be coming back from a thirty foot fall without huge amounts of internal damage, if she even survives. Not even someone like Henry could do that without potentially hurting himself.She would have to absorb just about 75% if not more of the energy in order to not die. Do not do this 'good parkour technique' with me. I know it is. I've done it. That doesnt mean it makes you Superman. And superman at seventeen? I am very doubtful that your character would be able to be a 'master of parkour' at that age. Your post reeks of bullshit. Do not do this with me. Because this is basic logic and physics. I'm fine with her falling, but falling that distance and trying to pull that crap isn't going to fly well with me. The only way you could make it even seem realistic would be is she absorbed most of the energy. Not a little, A LOT.Fix it.


You're saying the truth, but you're being pretty harsh...

Yeah Mark is just going to be on a jog. If a character is outside and feeling lonely, say that they just see a guy running past them.
Mark

After a trip back to reception, Mark got his room key and found that his stuff hadn't actually been taken back to his room. With a slight sigh he carried it all back to his room. With another sigh he found it to be almost uncomfortably exquisite. Just like this mess of a school. He dumped his stuff by the bed without luggage next to it, didn't so much as glance at the rest of the room, placed his scorpion's cage on his dresser, and fell flat onto his bed. Mark felt exhausted.

The game in the dark ended before it began for him. All he knew was a mixture of disappointment and relief that he did not have to face other metas in a squabble for a flag. When it was called off, he had slumped down to a knee before recomposing himself and changing into his regular attire. He was currently sporting a dark green short sleeved shirt, black vest, blue jeans and a pair of black inexpensive running shoes. He was also currently sporting a very fashionable pillow on his face. He didn't know what to think of this school. Either way, it had been a rather harrowing first impression: stuck in the dark with all manner of people who could possibly kill him with a thought. He was tired, so these thoughts began to hover over his mind like a bad smell while his coherent brain began to shut down.

He now quite firmly believed that he should find out exactly what he is getting into before he agrees to it. He also believed that he wanted to remain on the good side of as many people as physically possible. He began to formulate plans on how he would achieve this and how he could avoid having to interact with any of them ever again unless they were nice. That is, until he heard a small chirp from his shoulder.

It appeared as though that one surviving bug from before had still attached itself to him. Perhaps it was still obeying the order to keep watch on people, and this one was assigned to him. Mark wasn't sure. Understanding the logic of powers was beyond him. Nikki had looked as though she was in pain when he last saw her though, and it had kept with him through a change of clothes, which was odd above all else. Maybe the electric shock had fried its little brain to only obey the last order it was given? More speculations. What he did know was that it had just brought him back to reality from a sudden burst of anxieties.

He sat up. Analysing the unnamed roommate from what he could see was not something he could exactly be bothered with at this point in time: it was much more useful for him to analyse someone when they were right in front of him. That way he could immediately put what he deduced into practice, and perhaps stroke his ego over correct assumptions. At least, when they weren't covered in scars. Those were not deductions that he liked to make. Thinking on them briefly now, he decided it wasn't fair to assume they were self inflicted, but assuming that they were a delicate topic was a must.

With that thought, he seemed more at ease. He decided he was going to scout out the island by going for a jog around it. He picked up the nice little map the reception desk had given him, and went off to get his bearings. And give himself some time to digest what had happened in his time at the madhouse.
I think it's more likely that they will be fighting with some of the horrible people present.. Temporarily at least.
Wire

Well, that seemed to win him over. Good good.
And we've learned something about our new associate: those guns aren't just for show.
Might be a good idea if to get one ourselves given the our next destination..


Wire finished up before carefully and quickly reattaching the chin on his helmet. He got up, stepped nonchalantly towards another thug grabbing his morning meal who looked as though he had been listening, and held out a gloved hand.

"Sorry, I'm going to need to borrow your gun."

The man looked defensive, but there wasn't much he could do to refuse the helmeted figure with a spoon in his hand. With brief narrow stare at the unflinching enigma, he reached down to his holster and passed it to him.

"Many thanks." He reached into his duffel bag, picked out a laser sight and snapped it onto the business end of the weapon. He looked down the barrel, gave it a small tweak, and turned back around and followed his comrades.

Bruh, I don't think any of us here are extra-dimensional physicists or can claim any sort of knowledge in that branch of pseudo-science. Let's not get too carried away.


I'll have you know I got my Phd in psuedo-science.

And dammit.

Anyways, I have decided that it'll be best if I just end the match here, and just timeskip an hour or so after class so everyone can jump around. Sorry, but this CTF thing isn't working out.


You kidding me!! No all out assault on Mark and Henry? It was building up to that for so many damned posts! XD
I think to explain that away and the requirement to hold her breath, how about her power envelops her in a sort of dimensional shield that covers her skin, hair, eyes, nose, etc. So she keeps the air already in her lungs when she shifts into this other dimension, and possibly anything else that she extends the shield onto, like her clothes, or a bag, or another person...

Of course, this shield is just there to keep her together in this other dimension: different dimension means different physics, which means her molecules are going to behave differently. Which could easily mean she will quickly turn to soup. It doesn't do anything else. Not that I can think of anyway..
I honestly think that having to hold her breath is a great drawback, and that her lung capacity should just be that of a regular human. Which of course, she can train.

And there is a pretty obvious limit that she can have that no one seems to have touched on: how much time does it take for her to actually make herself intangible? I'd say about 0.5 seconds would be a good limit for that, and with reaction time, it could take her less than or over 1 second between seeing something she has to avoid, and actually activating her power.

In my opinion, thats pretty balanced.
