@HallionActually, you can pick any combination, but they, and your powers, require a good bit of time to master, so if you stretch yourself out too much none of them will be very strong.
A generalist would be pretty weak, but could do most of the basic things. A specialist, in contrast, would be really good at one area, but have little to no ability in the others.
Sisko and Kira stepped off the turbolift and onto the Bridge, followed by SG-1, when a console started to beep. "Sir", a Bajoran security officer said, "A ship just dropped out of warp, a Constitution class."

"Constitution?" Sisko asked. "The last of those was decommissioned over sixty years ago."

"Apparently not this one, though." said Kira, temporarily taking over the console. "I'm detecting photon torpedoes and military grade phasers. Isn't ownership of photon torpedoes only legal in the Federation for Star Fleet and planetary governments?"

"Yes, they are. Black Market?"

"Unlikely. None of the known technology over there is of a design that's less than 100 years old."

Sisko shook his head. "They might have found or built era appropriate phasers, but Star Fleet makes sure to decommission and destroy photons, and the plans to build them a kept top secret." He started to think on the matter when they were hailed by the ship. After listening to 'Jedi Master Kiana' who was commanding it, he responded. "This is the Bajoran Space Station Deep Space Nine, and I'm Commander Benjamin Sisko, the Star Fleet officer in charge of this station." Kira pointed at her screen and he looked over to see that the USS Shran went missing 102 years ago, presumed destroyed. "I assume that you salvaged the Shran from where ever it ended up after disappearing over 100 years ago."

As he finished another ship dropped out of warp. It was a design which wasn't familiar. "That's a war ship," said Kira, "multiple plasma cannons, a fighter bay, and some sort of torpedoes, and I'm detecting over seven thousand people onboard."

"Is it with you?" Sisko asked the Jedi Master.
@mattmanganon
@mattmanganonHumans run most of the ships we see. There is a Vulcan science vessel named "Serak" in one episode I think.

I heard a theory that Discovery was actually the story of Section 31, which explains some things. I haven't seen the show though, so I don't know how accurate it is.
@PKMNB0YI didn't remember you saying not to. I only remembered KoL saying it, and they aren't a GM.

I wasn't planning on starting a fight either. I was just going to demand answers. I'll delete the last line, though.
I stated that about 40 minutes have passed since my last post, in case anyone wants to do anything before Inuyasha causes issues.
@HallionWith a few exceptions, namely the Vs'ks'thi aliens, who have no natural talent for it but can learn to do some basic things, and the Nulls, who are unable to use any magic except magical items. The Watchers rarely learn it, as it isn't part of their culture, and the angelic races consider it blasphemous unless it the very specific "El gave me a special ability" form of sorcery.

Just don't go too crazy with your other magics, and remember that you would need to have spent a significant amount of time to get very far.

High Schools in New York teach basic witchcraft, sorcery, and Ki as electives, but they don't do anything too advanced.

Witchcraft tends to be the slowest one, as rituals are the most efficient way to do it. Sorcery is taxing on the body and may take time to gather large amounts of energy, especially if you draw power from a sapient being that resists you. Ki is fast, but far more limited. It also doesn't allow you to become nearly as powerful as the other forms, as it is limited by your own stores of energy, like your powers are.
Stark

@KoLStark was surprised that the woman wasn't obsessing over him like the others, so it took him a second to realize what she had asked. "Oh, I built it myself." he replied. "It's not a costume. It's an actual armored exoskeleton. See, I'm not from this universe, where I'm a fictional being. In my universe, technology is a bit more advanced, and there are people with magic, powers, spider wall climbing hairs growing out of their fingers, and other things that don't exist here." Jarvis notified him of a potential mutant and he stood up. "Well, it was nice to meet you. My name's Tony Stark, by the way." he offered her a handshake. "Maybe we can talk again some time." He didn't wait long for a reply before donning the armor and heading to meet someone he believed to be from his world.

Tony Stark & Tyr Anasazi


As Tyr neared a hotel Tony radioed him. "Pull into the garage at the Super 8 up ahead."

Tyr accepted, as Stark likely knew more about this world than him, and parked the car when he got there, Stark flying in behind him, astonishing the driver of a leaving car. Stark landed and took off the suit. As Jarvis connected to the hotel's WIFI to get them a room, Tony went through the rear bag on the motorcycle and, after a bit of convincing of Tyr and rearranging of the contents of the bag, Tyr managed to get his Gauss rifle into it and close it. He also hid the pistol in his jacket. "If this is anything like my Bronx." said Stark, "They won't like people openly carrying guns. Make sure you keep them hidden in public. The same goes for those bone things on your forearms if you don't want to draw attention. They won't be used to seeing people with 'extra features'."

Tyr smirked and rearranged the sleeves of his leather jacket to cover them up, making sure that it wouldn't be difficult to use the blades if he got in a fight where he needed them.

"Jarvis, stay with the motorcycle." Stark said, pulling out the keys and handing Tyr the bag and keys to carry.

"Very well, sir. I have also booked you a room, though you will have to pay cash. Two queen beds and a kitchenette for $130 per night."

"That means I can only afford two nights." said Stark, then sighed. "Well, if we need short term cash, I guess there's always criminals to beat up."

"Bounty hunting?" asked Tyr, "don't you think that with our equipment that's a bit beneath us?"

"True, but it would be the fastest way to turn a profit. I'll think about it, though."

They got in the elevator and went to the lobby to check in, but when Stark mentioned his name the manager giggled. "You really should come up with a better alias if you are going to be traveling in cognito Mr. Downy." He handed them both keys.

Stark shook his head. "I'm not Robert Downy Junior. I'm Tony Stark. Somehow, I've traveled from my world to this one, where I am a fictional character and am played by that actor."

The man giggled again. "Whatever you say, Mr. Downy."

"Fine, I'll prove it to you." said Stark, and tapped a blue-tooth looking device in his ear. "Jarvis, please come up here."

"On my way, sir." Jarvis responded, and less than a minute later the Iron Man suit stepped out of the elevator.

"Nice, you brought the costume with you, and had one of your assistants wear it to play Jarvis."

"Jarvis, turn around and open the suit." said Stark.

Jarvis did and the manager looked at the empty suit with amazement. "How did you remote control it?" he asked.

By this time several people had gathered in the lobby and started taking pictures of Stark and the suit. Being used to publicity, he was a superhero after all, Stark ignored them. "Fine, I'll prove it's the real deal." He walked over and entered the suit, which then closed and powered up. "Can a remote controlled costume do this?" asked Stark as he took off gently, as to not damage anything, and made a few lazy loops around the foyer.

He landed and the people cheered. "I-I guess you really are Iron Man after all." said the manager. Stark nodded and entered the elevator with Tyr, still wearing the suit.

They entered their room and put down their suitcase, Tyr immediately opening it and removing the rifle and half a bottle of scotch that the biker had left in there. "So, now what?" Tyr asked.

"Well, I need to study this world." Stark said, turning on the TV and changing the channel to CNN. There he was surprised to see that he was today's top story.

"Are these "Iron Man" sighting a hoax, a PR stunt, or, as some believe, a fan's dream come true?" the news woman said, as poor quality footage from a cell phone was shown in the corner of the screen. "Has fiction become reality?" She paused and put her hand to her ear. "I am now receiving reports that Iron Man has just checked into the Super 8 in New York's Bronx district, with a story of inter-dimensional travel and a demonstration for the gathered crowd." This time they played a much better cell phone video of him in the Hotel lobby.

"Well, so much for laying low." said Tyr.

Inuyasha


Inuyasha wondered the streets of Tokyo for almost half an hour before realizing that he wasn't getting anywhere, so he walked up to a man in a nice suit. If he was going to be in this strange land, he would need to earn money and gain favor with the locals and their rulers. This man was obviously a rich merchant or minor ruler to afford such clothes. "I need to speak with your Shogun. Can you tell me where he is, so that he I can seek an audience?"

"Shogun?" the man asked, before noticing his Cosplay outfit and assuming that he was just in character. "We don't have a Shogun any more, but the National Diet Building is the seat of the government for Japan, and it is here in Tokyo."

"Could you tell me where this building is?" he asked.

"Sure." the man replied, then gave him directions.

Inuyasha thanked him, then, to avoid the crowded streets, wall jumped onto the roof of a nearby building and ran in that direction. Ten minutes later he ran up to a strange looking build with a sign out front labeling it as the building he was looking for. As soon as he caught the scent of something familiar, he stopped, however. Moths. Not just any moths but demon moths, as he could feel a demonic wind here as well. He then remembered the source of this familiar smell, a problem he thought he had dealt with years ago and in his homeland.
