  Height
  5'8" (~173cm)
  
  Figure
  Slender, not much to speak of. The classic teen boy physique that makes scientists question just exactly where all that food goes.
  
  Notes
  Has a secret (and moderately illegal) tattoo of a mer-kitten on his left hip.
• Compassionate
  Morgan is a bleeding heart. He cares very much about the well-being of others, is very sentimental, and always has something kind to say. Many people appreciate how kind he is, however, it's incredible easy to lead him by the heartstrings.
  
  Effeminate
  He's got a pretty face, an androgynous name, he loves cute things, and he's absolutely not ashamed of any of this. Morgan has accepted that there's a lot of boys and girls in this world who are way manlier than he'll ever be. He is absolutely content to stay in the corner and let them do the heavy lifting.
  
  Introverted
  Morgan is an introvert, period. It's not that he doesn't like people - he does - it's that he finds it exhausting to be around lots of people for a long time. It takes effort to ignore them, and sometimes he just wants to be left alone with his own thoughts. Not that he'll ever say that to someone's face, though.
  
  Oblivious
  Despite his powers - or maybe because of them - Morgan can be oblivious bordering on stupid. Take freshman year of high school, for example. Several of his classmates had crushes on him, and despite some very, VERY clear hints... he still managed to friend-zone each and every suitor.
  
  History
  Morgan - who goes by his middle name to avoid confusion with his father - came into his powers before the typical teenage years. His telepathic abilities first manifested elementary school as an eerie tendency to finish other people's sentences. When it progressed to dream-sharing and unconsciously browsing through people's thoughts around seventh grade, his (non-super) parents determined that he was going to be "A Handful" and made sure to get him into an Aegis program as early as possible.
  
  He has been attending Facility 108 for about four years, and hasn't had any high strain incidents in at least six months has had a normal of close calls the past several months, such as accidentally telepathically screaming across the campus about an adorable dog.
  
  He's looking forward to getting the limiter deactivated when he turns eighteen... Although he might leave it on anyways, just for the peace and quiet. Even without using his powers, Morgan is painfully aware that something about him and his abilities troubles his parents - well, at least his mother. But his younger brother is her favorite and he's also a super, so maybe it's a bit more complicated than that.
• Family
  
  • Mr. Brahn: Morgan's father, an Army veteran who worked for Commonwealth as a field agent. Sometimes the man has dreams from the Rapture attack decades ago. Morgan wishes he didn't know second-hand the sound of bones shattering on impact.
    
  • Mrs. Brahn: Morgan's mother, a former Commonwealth scientist who now owns and operates the Brahn's Best Bakery. She dreams about tentacles a lot, but also about leather straps and syringes and blue goop? It's weird.
    
  • Jordan Brahn: His younger brother, a physically handicapped genius and official insufferable pain in the ass. He tends to dream a LOT, Morgan swears up and down that the idiot genius has enough brain activity for a half dozen people who all have ADHD. Morgan also swears up and down that he totally has never read Jordan's mind during a proctored exam.
    
  • June Brahn: His younger sister, a totally normal tomboy. She's also insufferable, but only because she's an attention-seeking fourteen year old girl with power envy. She dreams about being the biggest badass on whatever sports team she's joined that season.
    
  • Hunter Ward: Mr. Ward is the Brahn Spawn's great-uncle, however, due to bad blood between him and Mrs. Brahn, he's not allowed inside the bakery or their home. Thankfully, Morgan does not take Mr. Ward's class. Morgan has vowed to never read this man's mind, if he can help it.
  
  Facility 108
  
  • Asher Torchinovic: Morgan is on okay terms with the mental discipline teacher. He's a good coach, but sometimes Morgan struggles to keep his composure in Mr. Torchinovich's class. It's an introvert's nightmare sometimes.
  • Cecilia Pellegrini: Morgan destroyed her with a snowball during the midterm/winter entrance exams, and he feels absolutely terrible about it. Then she cried, and he felt even worse. The next time he saw her in school, he gave her a giant cinnamon bun. Now they're friends, but he still feels really guilty and feels it's his duty to protect her.
    
  • Ioana Călătoru: Beaned Morgan twice with snowballs. He's terrified of her, possibly more than of Mr. Ward.
  • Eden Trammel: One of his friends. Sometimes Morgan uses his telepathy to try and help Eden unload his feelings on bad days, it doesn't take long for him to regret this choice. It's not Eden's fault though.
    
  • Mary Ross: Morgan tries to stay away from her, or at least stay quiet. She manages to make a lot of things he says into "evidence" that he is a closet pervert. Whether or not she's correct is beside the point, it's the principle of the matter.
• Telepathy
  Morgan’s main power is simple telepathy, which is the ability to see and hear other people’s thoughts inside his head. He can also project his own thoughts into their head, or broadcast his thoughts to many people in his immediate vicinity. It is limited by distance, but is significantly more effective when direct eye contact is made.
  
  
  • Telepathic Dream-sharing: If Morgan is close enough to someone who is having a particularly vivid dream, he will be able to see and hear flashes of their dream within his mind. It works in reverse, to an extent – if Morgan is the one dreaming, then others sleeping near him may also experience his dreams. This has led to several awkward family breakfasts, and an unspoken rule of wearing limiters to bed.
  
  Limitations
  Because of the potential unsavory applications of telepathy, Morgan strives to limit his powers however he can. This usually involves distancing himself from people, as well as avoiding eye contact. He doesn't consider himself lonely, though - it helps that he's naturally an introvert.
  
  
  • Mental Noise: Morgan cannot turn off his telepathy (something he's trying to train himself to do). Without his limiter, he's easily distracted by the errant thoughts of other people. In crowds, he might even begin to disassociate and not be able to tell which thoughts are his own.
    
  • Line of Sight: There's a saying that eyes are the window to the soul. Morgan hates this saying, because it's sort of true. His powers work best on people he can see - especially if he can see their eyes. Tying into his psychic vulnerability, any other psychic super could look into his eyes and read him like an open book.
    
  • Signal Drop-off: His telepathy requires that he is somewhat close to his target. The further away he is from someone, the more concentration and effort is required to find and hear their thoughts. The distance of his powers' effectiveness is longest directly in front of him, due to line of sight.
  • Psychic Vulnerability: Morgan's mind has been compared to a firewall before - he can see a lot of mental traffic from other people, but unfortunately this exposes his mind to other psychics around him. He is notably susceptible to other telepaths, and wears his limiter dutifully partly to avoid potential psychic manipulation
  • All Bark, No Bite: His telepathy is strictly that - telepathy, the sharing of thoughts by mind. He cannot control what people say or do, he can only make himself heard - and he can only hear immediate thoughts, he cannot go digging in your brain for your deepest, darkest secrets.
  • Humans Only: His powers do not work on animals. He cannot hear what an animal is thinking, nor can animals hear his thoughts. However, his telepathy does work on supers who can turn into animals.
• Culinary Arts: Morgan grew up learning to bake from his mother, and grilling from his father. He enjoys helping to make dinner at home, especially since his sister has set the kitchen on fire three times already. There's something about watching people enjoy a pastry he baked for them, that makes him unspeakably happy.
  
  Wannabe Greasemonkey: Basic - like, really basic - vehicle maintenance knowledge. Anyone who's actually worked on cars can tell that Morgan is the kind of kid who read the instruction manual once or twice and now acts like he "totally knows what he's doing, guys". Maybe he'd know more if he didn't always read his brother's mind.
• Formerly known as the Augmentations tab, it has now been renamed to Tools and Weapons, and will contain exactly what it says - a running list of tools or weapons that your character carries on them and uses along with/instead of superpowers.

Someone help me figure out appropriate stats for telepathy while I work on the rest of the profile. Technically Morgan has higher willpower than Chernov atm, also I don't like his intelligence being at 4 because his powers don't really modify his intelligence. He's good at recognizing emotions in people, but it's only because it's a skill that he's picked up over the course of using his powers.

I'd say just drop intelligence to 3 as suggested above and leave Will at 8 as that would still put him at the low end of B rank. Or pop it to 9 if you want to hint at potential crises in the future.

Will 8/9 does seem high given his development so far in game, but as you have often said in chat and elsewhere: stats represent a character's maximum potential; he doesn't have to be a professor X level psychic now, just the potential to be one if he pursues his development.

As for the energy/will question, I think Will definitely fits G's power as written/played. I think a telepath COULD plausibly use energy instead, but it might be a bit less subtle and more a blunt instrument? Like a blast of psychic static that makes everybody within a mile radius have a simultaneous brain fart. That could be energy rather than will. It might not even be an ACT of will, just an involuntary release of psychic energy.

Here is my thinking on the issue of will vs energy vs other stats generally: This whole mess is caused by 'enigma particles' right? So they interact with certain genotypes 'mysteriously' right? Sometimes they cause permanent changes to your physiology, like super strength, bullet proof skin, hyper reflexes, increased processing, regenerative cells, and so on. Those sorts of powers are covered nicely by the other stats. Stuff your body can do better because of how enigma field affected you.

Will and energy seem a little problematic because they both cover powers that allow you to effect the world around you in some way beyond the merely physical impact of your meat.

So here is the model I propose: Obviously it takes energy to make changes to the world. Taking that as a given, the question is: where does the energy come from. It seems equally obvious to me that the answer is generally going to be "The Enigma Field!" Maybe not always, but if we learned anything from "Episode I: The Phantom Bullshit" it is that you should never re-explain something you already hand-waved away with a perfectly good "It's an energy field that surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the galaxy together". Just leave it there, goddamnit you stupid-bearded jawa-hobbit, you don't have to f-

...Sorry. ...It gets me upset.

ANYway, this is my point: If you want to use will to effect the world, fine! You use will to direct the energies of the enigma field to do the thing. If you want to use energy stat instead, that is fine too! You don't need a high will because the enigma field will charge you up like a battery. All you have to do is point your finger or open your eyes or something. Having a low will might even be better for high energy under that model because you could be more open to the intrusion of enigma particles into your body if you weren't so strong willed maybe. Maybe eventually Victoria could learn to STOP the field from charging her up quite so much

So: Problem solved?

This allows for a psychic who just projects but doesn't read, but doesn't have to get all 'constipation face' about it because they just use the energy stored in their brain.

Jordan seems like the type to get all constipation face if he is trying to read somebody who doesn't want to be read (or more likely, trying NOT to read anybody). Either way, he is using will to bend the enigma field this way or that by thinking hard about it. The invoulntary reading would represent patterns the field just 'likes' to take near his brain. He has to think hard to break those patterns.

This also allows TK to be will based or energy based depending on where the energy is stored. Do you lift cars by magnetism? Fine! The question becomes: Does the energy to create that magnetic field come from you? That would be the energy stat. The other alternative would be that you direct the enigma field to tweak the existing magnetic field. And that would be will.

 

[yoikes]

Maybe move some points from intelligence to energy?
Welian described the energy stats in the doc last night as what would be mana in a RPG. So going with the science of the RP so far, the enigma particles, I guess they would have a unique configuration for each super? (Probably, similar base power have similar base configurations) And Mitch's ability probably does something like change it's configuration to match someone else's (yeah this is weird, but bear with me), I would guess, That Mitch needs at least a energy stats of 3?
IDK, it makes sense to me.

Also an intelligence stats of 6 seems quite high for someone whose ability isn't directly tied to intelligence (counter example: Jordan). Maybe if she had a innate capability of understanding someone else's power in the spot, which is not the case since she has to see it being used before.

Do others think this makes sense? This is just food for thought that came from Sin's interjection and last night's stats discussion. I just hadn't thought of this before.

OHHH
How about keeping the same stats layout (intelligence > Willpower), but take a point from each and toss them into energy?

How did i miss this

Yes, her enigma particles would 'mimic' the person whose power Mitch wanted to copy (I think i write a bit about this when she copied Klaus's power).

It makes sense that she should't have 6 for Intelligence, since she's not super. I'm agree with dropping the Intelligence to 5/4 and throw the point into Energy.
I actually also wanted to drop her Willpower a bit, into 4/3 since Mitch has 'Hesitant' as her negative personality trait.

 

[Zahzi]

I know you touched on this tonight. My thoughts. Since his limiter is normally active, what effect would it have on this skill if it was kept as a constant state of being? Movement. Considering Galvanized being active slows his movements to a crawl, I would assume it would be better for his sake, sanity, to have it off most the time. Plus, his weight would not only effect the amount of effort he puts into movement but also the amount of weight he puts on the other objects around him. I would think use of cars or other major transport would be out, short of him using his powers to move them if he were Galvanized all the time. Or sitting in a chair. Generally, interacting with his surrounds could be a struggle. Just some ideas.

There. New round of edits for Red. Made Galvanize an active-use ability again, edited stats to be less extreme and made some edits to the Magnetism description.
Let me know if you see any other issues.

 

[Lemon Boy]

It's painful to have to go all the way back to Page 2 to see his profile.
Here is updated Red character sheet because I am too lazy to keep going back, will look at and state thoughts later.

  • Figure
  Well-Toned; Built for war. Weight varies on his abilities.
  • Notes
  A story for every scar.
• • Valor
  All of his military training is still fresh in his mind. His mentality still perceives him as a soldier. In the event of violence, he will run towards the origin. He will keep civilians out of the line of fire. And he will throw himself in harms way to keep them from harm.
  • Sarge
  "I make training hell so that war won't be." Anyone who has ever said training under Red is pleasant is a liar and needs to have their kneecaps removed. He has been known to drive your soul into the dirt before dragging it back out into the light when they were ready to survive the horrors of war. Fortunately, his job doesn't require this anymore. So there won't be as many traumatizing experiances for the new victims students.
  • Veteran
  Red is no stranger to combat, nor is he new to the theaters of history's warfare. He has seen the most inhuman acts possible, but has also witnessed the greatest humanity can provide. His experience leaves little to surprise him nowadays. Though more altruistic deeds seem to be more likely to get him intrigued.
  • Wrath
  Red has been known to have quite the temper. Worse, he knows how to break someone's limbs in such a way they can't walk again without a cane for the rest of their lives. To legitimately anger him to this point takes awhile, but doing so signs your own expiry date.
  ​
  History "You must have really fucked up if you thawed my ass out." Hunter Ward. Most of history has long since been expunged by the orders of the federal government. A few details can be scrounged up: a child soldier from the USSR and his older sister, seeking refuge in America. Enlistment in the USAF, a highway to citizenship. His military background shows a glowing resume and countless accolades from under four separate generals. In 2018, Hunter Ward became a terrorist. His daughter Layla, a super like him, had been taken away and forcefully experimented on under the orders of the corrupt Commonwealth. To save her and destroy Commonwealth, he formed the infamous terrorist group called Rapture. The clashes between them and Commonwealth were catastrophic, but in the end he was able to recover his daughter, save several other test subjects, and effectively castrate Commonwealth by revealing thousands of top-secret documents regarding their illegal activities. This henceforth became known as the “Rapture Incident”. He turned himself in, at a price. He was thrown into prison without a public trial, but a conventional cell was impossible for someone with his powers. He was placed in cryogenic stasis, originally for multiple life sentences. However, only twenty years later, he was quietly – secretly – released. The feds had an offer for him. Do as they say, and they would pardon as much as they could. They knew better than to lie to him. He was the most competent man to have ever gone through the military, and they needed him again – this time, to teach new supers how to use their powers. It was better than being an ice cube…
• • Layla Ward; Daughter
  The only member of his own family alive; And the primary reason for his past deeds. Being the only surviving member of his family, she's bound to receive top favoritism rights. Given the history of the Wards, no one could complain about this without getting a boot in their face.
  • Brahn Family; Relatives
  Next to Layla and his old compatriots, these are the only people he considers to be family. Before he was frozen, he always kept tabs on them to make sure they were safe. Now..? Well....He doubts they want his presence around.
• Metal Manipulation Red is capable of using the available metal around him to his own will; Whether to weaponize it, manipulate it into a shield, or force its movement within, or outside of the earth. Commonwealth has categorized this power under a series of Class S powers capable of rendering an entire city in rubble within thirty minutes given the assumption it belonged to one without experience. With experience, it falls under five. Because of this, Red is held under heavy surveillance on an almost constant basis. His inclusion in AEGIS is to help keep this without errors.
  • Magnetism The ability to draw, throw, and manipulate the movement of metals through the air without physically touching the material can be a terrifying power indeed. Red has used this ability to not only rip through the ground to access the metal below the city, but to bring down metallic constructs in the air. By default, he can control a direct radius of 50', and an additional 50' indirect radius. With enough focus, he can alter the area of effect from a radius to an extended cone in one direction. At the highest recorded extreme, he has gone from a 50'-to-50' radius to 175' direction in front of him with a spear-like piece of metal. There was a REASON he was put on ice.
  • Galvanize Red's body can manipulate the metals within to create a defensive barrier that has been hard-pressed to be cracked. While doing this slows down his personal mobility to a crawl, the capability of withstanding the harshest of attacks can be invaluable. Activating it requires Red to draw in metals around him and absorbing them into his body, creating a bulwark under his 'skin'. A thin layer is constantly around Red, acting as his skin. When destroyed, this layer will absorb metal around to recreate the faux flesh. The process to remove the excess Galvanization can be rather painful. Imagine having metal shoot out of your body in either one massive direction, or all over. Either way isn't pretty. The only plus to this process besides the obvious weight loss terror, is the fact that metallic shrapnel tends to hurt people around him if shot out randomly. Or, if in a single direction, that might be lethal.
  Limitations
  • Location
  Red requires metals around him to use most of his abilities. Being placed in a location without metals to use leaves him to his own devices. Which is still a formidable amount of hassle to deal with. To clarify, Red has a direct radius of 50' to manipulate metal around him. An additional 50' (100' total) radius is capable of indirect manipulation. The outer radius is only capable of slight contact, while the inner radius is capable of complete contact.
  • Mobility
  Red's powers generally require that he not be completely capable of heightened movement. Galvanize being the highest culprit here. Not one for dodging or high mobility, Red usually presents himself as an easy-to-hit target.
  • Conductivity
  Something most kids learn in Elementary School is that most metals are highly conductive with electricity. And if you're a particular sort that is constantly USING metal, then you're in for a shock sooner or later. Electricity is possibly one of the few ways to most likely get past his defense. Unless you're being stupid and announce your attacks like some jackass in a primary-colored getup.
  • • Buoyancy-Challanged
  The metal in his body, even when Galvanization is turned off, inhibits Red's ability to swim or even float. His only retaliation to being submerged is to change his focus from any threat to escaping the water without hesitation, leaving him uncharacteristically vulnerable to attack.
• Combat Mastery: Hunter has been involved in combat since he was six. Attack. Defense. Diversion. Fortify. Invade. Obliterate. These are not forign concepts to Hunter, nor is the prospect of engaging an enemy up close. To willingly fight Red is reserved for either the seasoned combatant, or the stupid. Intimidation: This is a man who has a permanent file on his record stating he has torn people apart from all directions for accosting his daughter. And yet on the same breath, will resume whatever activity he was apart of with her without a second thought. This is also a man who sucessfully led a group to throw Commonwealth on its head out of sheer force of anger. Are you going to get in his way on purpose? Unassisted PTSD: Over fourty years of combat can do many things to a person. It can teach them to overcome adversity. To fight for those who can't fight for themselves. To remember what is truly important. But it can also remind you of how many people you've let die. How many lives you've silenced yourself. And the ever-nagging question of why you're still here. Hunter has refused treatment time and again for what doctors refer to as 'Survivor's Guilt', believing the idea of him getting treatment would be in insult to those who aren't here anymore. Lacking Trust: Red has, as most would expect if they could read his entire file, problems with trusting others. If this was only in the traditional sense, it would hardly be the cause of alarm. Unfortunately, this also pertains to trusting others in both their tasks, or to keep themselves protected. Hunter has, on multiple occassions, decided someone was incapable of doing so, throwing himself in harms way for nothing, and carrying undue burden for the sake of something being done, even when its completion does not require him.

  Cyan on top of black, metallic eyeballs.
  
  Height
  6"1'. The Imperial system sux ass.
  
  Figure
  Hourglass, toned and slightly muscular.
  
  Notes
  Tattoos on her body. Two bulky bionic arms, lines going down her face from where her muscles were blown off.
• Focused
  Concentration is key. Eve thoroughly completes any objectives she sets for herself. It is what makes her great at teaching since it's what she wants to do. There aren't many things that can distract Eve from following a path she made out for herself.
  
  Intense
  She shows strong feelings depending on the situation. This trait also reinforces her "focused" state. Eve is an intense young woman, passionate about her beliefs and aspirations.
  
  Outspoken
  Eve is frank in voicing her concerns, especially if they reach shocking or controversial levels. She believes it's better to be direct and not sugar coat things. Time spent thinking of a way to sugar coat something is too precious to waste.
  
  Brusque
  The woman can become abrupt in her manners or speech, but only if provoked. She would normally not put someone's good mood at risk unless there was a good reason behind it. Her tongue is sharp and will likely strike anyone who acts like an "asshole".
  
  History
  Eve's life began in Boston and moved to New York when she was 5. She has an older brother named Cole who spent a good amount of time raising Eve himself. Her parents did not want a "princess", so then the little girl turned into more of a little boy rather quickly. A "little boy" who aspired to be like her brother: independent and a role model. Eve had an interest in "building" things out of junk be it little statues or half-assed structures. When she got older, aside from taking a few martial arts classes and acing them, the little tomboy managed to convince her dad to teach her how to work with a welder. Suddenly, her works became a lot more sturdy and managed to stick together better. Every little bit of time she got, she spent it trying to come up with different builds.
  
  Eve discovered her powers when a building collapsed downtown, trapping people inside. In a desperate attempt to be a hero like Cole, she tried to dig a tunnel through the rubble, which she managed to do until her "advantageous" abilities tipped off the wrong wall, tearing her arms apart in the process.
  
  She managed to save some people from their prison. While in the hospital, Eve felt unable to replicate her abilities. Whether it was due to shock, the loss of her arms or her lack of experience she couldn't tell.
  
  In return for her selflessness, the Commonwealth funded a project to replace Eve's arms and in return, she would work for them. She took the deal. It wasn't easy recovering her powers, but Eve found that the arms helped her through the process and felt as if they were a natural extension of her abilities. It didn't take more than 5 months for Eve to take ahold of her superpowers.

• Artistic Touch
  Eve can use amplified sound waves to vibrate any solid material at its resonant frequency with enough power to completely restructure its molecular matrix. She can't change one kind of material into a different one, just reshape it. This can easily knock down bridges or buildings or, in at least one past instance, pull the steel out of a building to make a makeshift bridge (and a rubble pile). Positively enormous amounts of earth can be shifted without much effort. Rock can be restructured almost as easily, but into more durable structures. The sound itself can't be heard by humans unless they have super hearing abilities. If they do, they would hear a low hum. Animals can also hear this sound.
  
  
  Limitations
  
  • Time Attack!: Under time pressure, building anything more complicated than a simple cave is almost impossible, but given time, who knows what she might be able to cobble together?
    
  • Affinity: Eve cannot bend liquids, gasses or plasma. Living matter is also generally too squishy to directly reshape in this manner, but can be very violently shoved out of the way in the process of moving other matter around.
    
  • 0 to 60: The rate at which Eve bends materials is not instant. Depending on density and size, the creations differ in speed of movement. The most basic thing she can create in a couple of seconds is a medium hole in the ground or an average human sized pillar. 1 minute is enough to build something akin to a solid bridge over a river or a 5 meter-tall platform. Intricacy costs time. For more "customized" constructions she needs more time, which is proportional to the amount of details added in.
    
  • Size does matter: Eve cannot bend or control objects that are too small, for example, cloth threads or bones. The size of the object has to be practical. She has a difficult time trying to manipulate anything smaller than 30 centimeters in diameter.
    
  • Out of Range: The range at which she can fully work with is around 30 meters in diameter. Anything over that range and she has a harder time reshaping. The hard cap is 50 meters. She can't "touch" anything that's more than 50 meters away.
    
    
    
• 
  
  Singer: Eve picked up a nice singing voice in her way through high-school. What she left behind, though, were her ambitions of making neo-rock punk a thing. Even if she looks back in disgust, she admits she likes to sing sometimes.
  
  Sculpting: Not necessarily in the literal sense, as she's far less effective with clay and marble. She has statues built with scraps of metal. Perhaps more kitsch than anything else. She has also extended this skill to working a "forge".
  
  Role-model: She believes herself that through Aaron Mallory's guidance she has become a better teacher and someone she herself could look up to.
  
  Childish: Perhaps she still isn't completely an adult yet. This brings about a little bit of naivete and a little bit of hopefulness in certain situations, and a certain hot-headedness in conversation.
  
  Hesitant: Fresh wounds carry with them uncertainty. Her new face will always be a reminder of what happened and how running into things headfirst leaves you blind. When under pressure, she might hesitate.
  
• 
  
  ICybernetic Arm Replacements: [Augmentation] Eve's arms are stronger and a lot more durable than an average human's due to their cybernetic nature. They act as a kind of catalyst which is also able to focus the energy for precision sculpting. In simple words, they're a prism. The excess energy produced by her powers the arms, so there is no need to recharge. Disabling the arms would definitely decrease the effectiveness of her powers, but not by much, since the energy does not come from the arms themselves. They're also a wicked pair of bass cannons.
  
  Face: [Augmentation] Due to recent events, Eve's face suffered a complete cybernetic overhaul down to the bone. Reinforced cranium has been added as the original had to be scrapped due to damage. Synthetic muscles have replaced her old ones and she has a new old face.
  
  Bionic Eyes: [Augmentation] In lieu of blindness caused by shrapnel, Eve's former eyes were replaced as well. These new eyes come with 16K resolution, zoom-in capabilities and the ability to store short clips and/or high-resolution pictures.

Here's Eve. Ready to be read like a book and be judged by you, honest people.

I've got more updates. Need more feedback, please! Thank you!

 

[Necessity4Fun]

How did i miss this

Yes, her enigma particles would 'mimic' the person whose power Mitch wanted to copy (I think i write a bit about this when she copied Klaus's power).

It makes sense that she should't have 6 for Intelligence, since she's not super. I'm agree with dropping the Intelligence to 5/4 and throw the point into Energy.
I actually also wanted to drop her Willpower a bit, into 4/3 since Mitch has 'Hesitant' as her negative personality trait.

I don't think the Ability Scores are related to personality traits at all, just power stuff.
Having a high Willpower would not affect her hesitant trait, and she can still be hesitant while having a high Willpower stats.

But, despite that little confusion of yours, perhaps you're on the right track.
It would make sense that her power would be more energy based than anything else and a Willpower of 3/4 would still make sense to me since Mitch's power doesn't seen to relate as much to mental effort and concentration as, for example, Cecilia's is. (Kendrick was a bad example, since he's got 3 in there too : P)

• Touched up Izzy's history still need input.
• Something is missing with Gavin. He is still too out there and larger than life on how he gets his equipment and I need some ideas on what he would have to make super gear. Insight please.
• Page ... Page is a shadow me so its hard. I like her but... well you always know what you are going to get from her. Panic, rage and little fireballs. Are we okay with this or do we have ideas?

  Figure

  Notes
  Petite in stature, she appears fragile and slender. Isabella's most striking feature is a large pair of furred pointed ears, shooting out from either side of her head. They reach a peak height of several inches above the crown of her head, making them difficult to hide. A long thin tail starting at the base of the back, seven feet in length. Given the tails length, it often flickers in the air like a bobbing snake, a good foot over Izzy's head. This lessens the chance of other's stomping upon the sensitive appendage.
• Innocence
  This is an interesting part of Izzy's psyche. While she is well versed in the hardships of the world, she has managed to keep a whimsical belief of magic and beauty in the world. Believing in things like Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.
  
  Mischievous
  Izzy just cannot help it. Without even trying, the girl seems to always be getting into trouble. Normally, such things blow up in her face. Much of this seems to stem from her over active imagination and hyperactive nature. All the same, she seems to have a fondness for causing trouble.
  
  Compassionate
  When Izzy forms an attachment to something or someone, the connection runs deep. Izzy can be a very sympathetic individual. Sometimes showing great concern for her friends and even standing up for them when they need it. Even with the bond is one sided.
  
  Impulsive
  Being impulsive comes from her level of emotional maturity. Often reacting to her emotions in the moment. Which goes hand in hand with her compulsive stealing. Izzy does not see past the moment and the consequences of her immediate actions.
  
  History
  Isabella Chase was born with some very unique features. Born with a long tail, feline like ears, eyes and teeth, her mother was frightened. Already, with no father in the picture and now a child with such an odd mutation was unthinkable. Such things were not allowed in the bush of Alaska. The mother, however did the honorable thing. Once the snow was just starting to melt, Isabella's mother took the three month old and had a supply plane take the babe back with them. Izzy was soon placed for adoption, however struggled to find a long term home. It was not even her appearance that was off putting to many, but her behavior issues.
  
  
  To amuse herself growing up bouncing from foster home to foster home, Izzy would steal or barrow other people's belongings. It did not take long before she started to look for more of a challenge. Taking up pick pocketing and the like. Though, on fine day when she was about eight, she got caught. In a strange turn of events, it was the very man who caught her picking his pockets, who decided to adopt Izzy.
  
  
  Richard Chase, had been in Alaska on business and ended up flying back home to Maryland, Baltimore several months later with his new daughter. He had lost his own wife and daughter in a horrid accident, only a year prior to crossing paths with Izzy.
  
  
  Isabella never did drop her habit of theft, but with her father's influence in his line of work with oil, gave him many connections. Richard Chase seemed to always have someone on speed dial to get them out of a jam. Which sadly, just gave Isabella all the more reason to pick more and more valuable targets.
  
  
  Finally, two months ago, Izzy stole a 1961 Ferrari 250GT Spyder while at a dinner party for some of her father's business partners. With the threat of lawsuits and serious charges, her father had now enrolled her Aegis. There had been a long standing agreement that she would not have to go until she was 15. Perhaps, having a taste of real life outside of her private school will shake some sense into Izzy Chase. Thirteen might be a bit young but Aegis is Richard's only hope for teaching his daughter her place, before she ends up getting into real trouble.
  
• Other Character's Name
  Richard Chase: Izzy's father, who adopted her at the age of eight. While he is often busy working on his career, they have a close relationship. Richard is one of the few people in Izzy's life who she fully trusts. Richard is aware that Izzy is different beyond just her mutation. He often is over protective of his daughter and works to shield her from the harsh truths of the world.
  
  
  Kendrick Haywood: Attending the same private school, they have had a few run ins. A major one involving her stealing his companion. A stuffed rabbit, whom she had seen move. Izzy had stolen it with the belief it was the Easter Bunny. While the item was returned, there relationship has been on the rocks since which only has become more complex with their now shared courses as Aegis.
  
  
  
  
• Primary Power
  Izzy has physical mutations that are similar to that of a feline. This is reflected in her very light and durable skeletal structure. Much like cats she has seven cervical vertebrae, thirteen thoracic vertebrae, seven lumbar vertebrae and three sacral vertebrae. Her tail consists of twenty-three caudal vertebrae. The extra lumbar and thoracic vertebrae are what make up her mobility and flexibility. These physical traits also extend to her physical appearance. Directional ears made up of thirty-two muscles set high on the sides of her head. When frightened, scared or angry these large fur coated ears normally rotate back.
  
  
  • Heightened Senses: Humans and cats have a similar range of hearing on the low end of the scale but cats can hear much higher-pitched sounds; up to 64kHz, which is 1.6 octaves above the range of a human and even 1 octave above the range of a dog. Izzy has an acute sense of smell. Fourteen times as effective as an average human. This is because she has about twice as many olfactory epithelium within her nose. Isabella has a tapetum lucidum, which is a reflective layer behind the retina that sends light that passes through the retina back into the eye. This improves her ability to see in darkness, though also reduces net visual acuity then detracting when light is abundant. Basically she has cat eyes and can see in the dark.
  
  
  • Cat-like Reflexes:
    Izzy's response time may appear super human to an average citizen. In reality it is simply the harmony of heightened senses with enhanced physical benefits. Still, it is an impressive skill. Think of a cat dodging a snake attempting to strike. Her agility mixed with speedy reflexes might make some think she could even dodge bullets. While her skills are not quite that strong, Izzy would never willingly say so. An example of her abilities is the Cat Righting Reflex. If she were to fall off an object, she will land rather gracefully.
  
  Limitations
  
  
  
  • FOOD: Izzy's body temperature runs between 101-102 degrees and her heart beats between 140-180 at a resting rate. As such, Izzy Chase must in take a remarkable amount of food to stay fit and healthy. Where a normal human could go days without food, she could not. Her metabolism is very sensitive.
    
  • NO TOUCH: The long slender tail coated in silver fur. If you had something attached to your spinal column and was made of sensitive little bones, you would be touchy about it too. Though it is not just that she does not like it touched. This is used for her balance and agility. As such, even a tug, pull, or stomp upon it can be very detrimental to its fragile form.
    
  • TOO LOUD: With the power of her eyes, Izzy can see in the dark. However, this leaves her eyes very sensitive to bright lights. Also the heightened sight straight on cuts down greatly on any peripheral sight. The same goes for her ears and hearing as well. With such sensitive and acute senses, they can be easily over whelmed.
• 
  Belay On Ready to Climb: Richard Chase has invested in teaching Izzy Chase how to safely use repelling and climbing equipment. This was prompted by the recent attacks in Supers and his daughter bringing home some crazy grappling hook.
  
  Gymnastics: Until recently and since she was adopted, Izzy has been enrolled in gymnastic and tumbling classes, even cheer.
  
  NO MINE: Being an only child, Izzy does struggle to share with others. #Onlychildsyndrome
  
  Shiny: Easily distracted or gets off task.
  
  Follow the leader: Not a team leader, very much a follower.
  
• 
  
  Backpack: Black and white basic backpack with shoulder straps.
  
  Rope & Carabiners: Two ropes, Ten carabiners, Six anchors, Climbing harness
  
  Food: Carries 6 snacks or small meals with her and water.

  Figure
  Despite being average in height, Gavin is on the thin side. Weighing only 143 pounds.

  
  Notes
  Gavin has a small birth mark in the shape of a paw print on his upper right thigh.

  
• Compassionate
  Gavin is a warm and caring individual. If you can get past his pushy and overly honest mannerisms, you will find he is a loving, emphatic person. Being sympathetic and feeling deep concern for others, he will often go over board on working to assist someone. Just be careful. Once you become a pet project of his, he is not easily deterred.

  
  Self-Assured
  Some might call it an inflated ego but the Dabbs's think of it as confidence. Others might even call it cocky. Whatever it is, Gavin is full of it. He has a wisp of arrogance around him. The important thing is, he is very confident and aware of his strengths.

  
  Blunt
  There is never a question of Gavin's feelings on a matter. Much like others in his family, he is always one to speak his mind. Gavin will not sugar coat it for you either, there is no filter. Gavin's opinions come out raw and loud.

  
  Presumptuous
  Gavin has the best of intentions, but at times comes across as rather pushy. He can seem more like an aggressive salesman, than a trusted friend. If you make a suggestion that does not fit with his vision, he will tell you all the reasons that idea does not work and continue on with his own plan. Gavin makes assumptions about other's desires without ever running it by the party who he is making the decision for.

  
  History
  Gavin's family name is rather well known in certain circles. The reason for this is, Gavin's grandmother. Back in her heyday, she was a major designer for elite Supers of the world.
  
  It was a rather big surprise to everyone, when Dana's daughter did not follow in her footsteps. Instead, Susan became a respectable lawyer. After meeting a nice shop owner, the couple settled down in Baltimore, Michigan.
  
  Living in a respectable area of town, they raised Gavin. He had an average childhood, more or less. With two loving moms, that showered him with praise and reassurance, his personality blossomed. His parents worked hard to shield him from his grandmother's reputation.
  
  While both his moms tolerated Supers, they were not fond of them. Susan held a grudge against Supers, because of the legal messes they often got into. She also carried resentment, on time missed with her own mother because of Dana's career choice. Sara's shop was destroyed, at one point; while two Supers had been saving survivors from a burning building. The shop was later repaired but the sour feelings were never resolved.
  
  On Gavin's twelfth birthday, a large package arrived on their doorstep. It had taken the three of them to lug the it inside. There in the living room, he opened it, to find everything needed to start design clothing. Gavin had always been interested in the subject. When his moms introduced him to drama, he had been more interested in creating the costumes. Both his mother's were against this hobby, fearful he would follow in his Grandmother's footsteps.
  
  They switched him to soccer. While he had been skilled at that, he was more concerned with improving the effectiveness of the shin guards. This had been something both his parents had been dreading. Despite their reservations about Supers, they let Dana mentor her grandson. If he was going to do it, he was going to do it right.
  
  Gavin excelled in his studies. He spent much of his free time designing outfits for anyone that would let him. Now, in his senior year of high school, Gavin is eager to learn more. While he has mastered the basics of clothing design and is already taking some AP classes for college, he feels something is missing. He wants to better understand the needs of Supers. Gavin wants to follow in his Grandmother's footsteps and become a suit designer for the elite Supers of the world!
  
• Dana Augusta Dabbs
  Fashion designer for super suits, known world wide. Dana is everything that Gavin wants to be. Since he was 12 they have become best friends. Like two peas in a mod.
  
  Sara Dabbs
  Gavin's mother owns a small jewelry shop in down town Baltimore. She is a more reserved quiet woman. Sara and Gavin are very close. She is great at giving him pep talks and Gavin knows he can trust his mom with any secret.
  
  Susan Dabbs
  Gavin's mom is a lot more like Dana, than she would ever willingly admit. Loud, in your face and blunt, Susan is incapable of not speaking her mind. Honest and loyal to a fault, Gavin knows his mom always has his back. Being raised by such a strong woman has left him with a clear sense of self.
  
• 
  
  SKILL: DESCRIPTION
  
  Knowledge of Design: Gavin has a sharp eye for fashion and function. While he, himself does not have any super natural gifts, he is a smart kid. Great at problem solving, he enjoys challenges. Gavin has a passion for dressing those that few can dress. Making them look fabulous, is just as important as, ensuring their clothing does not catch fire. With his extensive knowledge of fabric fabrication processes and technology to enhance it, he is a whiz at suit manufacturing for supers across the world.
  
  NATURAL LEADER: While Gavin is still working to tap fully into this skill set, Gavin is a natural born leader. He has the ability to inspire others. Cultivate connections with others and over all draw out their inner Super. Bring them up and direct them toward a common goal.
  
  Trial and Error: While Gavin might get the measurements right on the first try, the suit not so much. Honing in on right material combination for the right individual can take a few goes. Not to mention, working to create the correct components, has more then once, caused him to blow something up.

  
  
  NO CAPES: Gavin, like his grandmother, knows what he wants. At times this can leave the person requesting the suit with very little input on the project. In the end, people are normally impressed, so they put up with it. Still, he is not your man for specific orders.
  
  PTSD: After the bombing at the Mall, Gavin has been different. Struggling with night terrors and panic attacks, he has been prescribed meds to combat the symptoms.
  
  
  
  
• Formerly known as the Augmentations tab, it has now been renamed to Tools and Weapons, and will contain exactly what it says - a running list of tools or weapons that your character carries on them and uses along with/instead of superpowers.
  
  Garage Aka Layer: Tools > Gavin has a full set up in his garage, for constructing clothing. This includes, nano bots programmed only for weaving together compounds into usable fabric. Between his 3D printer, computers and blowtorch, it looks more like a mad scientists layer.

  
  Sketching Kit: Sketching pad, notebook, colored pencils, charcoal. iPad occasionally.
  
  Satchel: Brown messenger bag.
  
  Connections: Phone and a stack of business cards. Networking is key for an up and coming designer.

• Self Disciplined
  Page Morgan displays great self control, over herself and more importantly, her emotions. While many have the luxury of sacrificing inhibitions or emotional restraint for the thrill and pleasure of a moment, Page does not. She prefers sticking to her routines and set schedules, because when she is pushed outside her comfort zone, it can have fiery consequences.



  
  Uptight
  Page is a little more tightly wound than most and a bit OCD. Due to her underlying fear of the unknown, Page is best known for her stick-in-the-mud ways and being very on edge. This often leaves others feeling that she just lacks social skills.


  
  Dependable
  For better or worse, she is definitely reliable. Fitting with her type A personality, there is a deep seeded need to follow through with tasks she is given.


  
  Emotionally Eruptive
  When Page has become emotionally entangled in a matter, she becomes very passionate, overly so. Being emotionally sensitive, Page can over react to a situation. Given that she spends a great deal of effort smothering her emotions entirely, once let loose they tend to overwhelm her. Perhaps that is why, when they bubble to the surface, a trickle quickly turns into a waterfall.
  
  History
  Page's skill became very apparent at a young age. By the tender age of 6, she was dazzling her classmates with fire butterflies in the sky at recess. Despite the risks surrounding her gift, her parents were reluctant to seek any sort assistance for it, given the religious ramifications given their belief system. This was an unfortunate choice but still their right. Mainly because they lived in Ireland, which had more lenient regulations. This resulted in a fatal accident when Page was eight. After the death of her younger brother, her mother's sorrow was redirected into rage and angry outbursts. Page's father dealing with his own grief and at a loss for what to do decided it was best to remove Page from the situation.
  
  Page's parents sent her to live with an Aunt in the states. Given her emotional state tying into her ability to set things on fire, Page Morgan has worn a limiter since arriving in the United States.
  
  While Page has been closely monitored most of her life, in recent years, she has shown a better grasp on her abilities and emotions. Despite the fact that Page has lived a very sheltered life, working from home and isolating herself, she is taking steps to grow beyond the her boundaries. Page branched out into the unknown by enlisting as a clerk at Facility 108, while attempting to certify for a Blue Card.
  
  With the recent death of her Father in episode one, Page disappeared for while and even upon her return has been emotionally volatile. Falling so far behind in her duties, Page has left getting a Blue Card on the back burner.
  
• SWAN, JASON
  Mr. Swan, for the lack of a better term, is Page's boss. With what was her recent employment at Aegis, Jason Swan had been keeping Page on her toes. Almost as if he enjoyed pushing her buttons. The man may have a lifetime of age over her, but that won't stop her from telling him how it is, maybe.
  
  MALLORY, AARON
  A troublesome new instructor. His ways seem extreme to Page but the man seems to get results. Still he is tame compared to the tactics of Mr. Ward.
  
  MCNABB, ALLEN
  "THIS MAN IS INSANE!" quoted from a write up of Page Morgan left for Mr. Swan. This instructor has never rubbed her the right way. Yes, he always shows up to class, but its almost like, no ones home.
  
  WARD, HUNTER
  Prefers to avoid him at all costs. Him and that damn red marker.
  
  HAMASAKI, Manami
  New student to Facility 108. Page directly processed her intake paperwork. Page is uncertain about this student. She seems so innocent but Page feels there is more than meets the eye with her.
  
  HAYWOOD, Kendrick
  Rich kid. Page is very familiar with this student due to the mile long pile of paperwork of inquires on his well being with Facility 108.
  
  KRAVITZ, CHRIS
  They met when Page attempted to help the kid out during the siege of reports on the Facility. Compared to most the students in the Facility, he does not seem to bad.
  
  
  
• Empathic Fire Manipulation
  The ability to control, manipulate and create fire, based on ones state of being. Page Morgan is able to make fire but it takes more than a mere whim to do so. This telekinetic gift ties into her emotional state. By focusing on one state of being or the other, she is able to either create fire or smother it. This also means that, the hues of the fire Page is controlling, also changes, depending upon the emotions used to channel it. This can be quite embarrassing if not a conscious choice on her part. Talk about sending up a fiery flare of how you feel about a certain subject.
  
  
  • Fire Resistant: Page and objects on her person, cannot catch on fire, nor be burned by extreme temperatures, both internally or externally. This applies only to burns created by heat. Not applicable to chemical or other such based attacks. This has also taken focus on Page's part. Things like clothing stay intact with ease. Objects held or extended from her body take more focus to protect.
  • Dragons Breath: An ability only seen in extremely heightened usage of her powers; this gift has only been seen once. Page is able to build up high amounts of emotional essence within. It is then expelled through the mouth as a fiery blaze. What makes this skill so interesting is, the flames expelled in this manner seems to be alive. The flame is able to avoid some targets and pinpoint, even chase, others. At the time of use, this skill was measured to be effective at arrange of one city block or 109 meters.
  
  Limitations
  
  • Where there is smoke, there is fire: More to the point, where there is fire, there needs to be air. While she can manipulate fire and thus do some nifty things, fire consumes oxygen at a fantastic rate. Even before a fire would be extinguished from lack of air, Page would lose consciousness. Enclosed or confined spaces and flames are not advised.
    
  • No business in the cold: While moderately effected by water, cold is her true weakness. Cold situations are far more hazardous to Page than other individuals.
    
  • I'm irrational? I will show you irrational!: Page's power is linked directly with her emotions. Without the right catalyst there is no flame. With the wrong trigger, the house goes up in flames. It's hard to trigger the right emotional response and create a huge fire when you are scared out of your wits. Same goes for keeping your cool when someone is pushing every button you have. This issue is somewhat complicated by the fact that Page has intentionally lived a sheltered life. Her skin is not as thick as some, so to speak. This leaves her vulnerable to manipulative people, interfering with her emotions and therefore her ability to tap into her powers.
• 
  COMPUTERS AND TECH: She is very tech savvy for the average person. Comes from years of spending all her time inside with only her computer for company.
  
  ACCOUNTING 101: Being a very organized individual, Page has found herself with several accounting and data entry jobs in her past. Making her very capable of doing checks and balances for even large insurance companies. Quickbooks Master.
  
  ORGANIZE IT: With all her book keeping skills and over all need for an orderly space, Page is a wiz at keeping and creating order. Even if to an almost manic degree.
  
  SOCIAL SKILLS 101: Never having had a true friend, Page really does not understand how to have relationships. She rarely picks up on social ques.
  
  SWEETS: Page tries so hard to be good but she has a serious weakness for baked goods.
  
  RULES: Wanting so badly to control her surrounds, Page sticks to the rules, always. Even at times when perhaps the rule book should be tossed out the window for the greater good.
  
• 
  GLASSES: Tool Despite being a Super, years of staring at computer screens still has impaired her vision close up.

  Notes
  
  
  Blue Card Holder.
• Positive Personality Trait
  
  
  Charismatic - Trent is an extremely charismatic guy. Typically people like him before he even has a chance to say anything because he radiates "awesome" (or maybe it's just his personal barrier that outlines every inch of his body and emits a soft white glow.
  
  
  
  Neutral Personality Trait
  
  
  Silver Tongue - If there were some that weren't impressed by his appearance or glow, then chances are he could still persuade them. Trent is a walking infomercial and could sell ice to Eskimos or sand to a camel.
  
  
  Neutral Personality Trait
  
  Center of Attention - due to his narcissistic nature, Trent feels he needs to be the center of attention in almost all circumstances. His quest for fame often drives many of his decisions to insert himself to situations.
  
  
  Negative Personality Trait
  
  
  Arrogant - Because of his narcissistic ways, it has made Trent quite arrogant, thus making him likely to rub people the wrong way, especially if they have a good amount of self confidence or willpower. The tone in his voice often comes across as demeaning because he has a hard time understanding how others can let themselves look and act like.... slobs.
  
  
  
  History
  
  As a child, Trent grew up in a wealthy household were perfection was expected of every member of the family. Pushing him to continually find ways to improve, Trent's father often expressed his disappointment in his seven year old son's lack of perfection. It wasn't long after that Trent began to physically train his body. On his 8th birthday he became a child model and was the only child under 10 years with the muscle tone he had acquired. Despite his success as a model, his father disapproved all the same. Seeking to gain his father's approval Trent pushed himself to be perfect in every way as he continued through his teen years. It wasn't until he was 17 and he had finally found perfection, or what he had thought constituted it. He had reached valedictorian status and had been accepted to Cambridge Law after acquiring 600 UCAS points. His father, rather than congratulating Trent, backhanded him across the face. That's when it happened... Trent's skin began to glow and the impact of his father's hand bounced from his face only millimeters from his skin. He felt nothing as he looked into the face of the family patriarch. Trent was not sure what exactly was going on, but what he did realize was that his father could no longer hurt him.
  
  After that incident, he left home and never looked back. He was able to stand on his own, he knew who he was and what he needed to do for success. Trent kept his powers to himself and went to law school, graduating in record time. It was only a handful of years after when he was disbarred from practicing law when his powers were discovered. Since family had been the driving force for him to succeed it backfired and created a narcissistic young man who seeks fame, power and wealth. What drives him is the will to become even more recognized than his father and to be able to look down upon him from his higher status in society.
  
  He knew that if he couldn't gain fame from taking down big names in the UK that he would have to make a new name for himself across the pond as a 'hero'. It was much different than Trent had imagined when he thought about helping local officials round up common criminals. Sure he got his name and picture in the paper a few times but it wasn't the fame he was after, he needed more. That's when Trent had heard about the Aegis facility and decided to apply for a position....
  
  
• Other Character's Name
  
  
  N/A
• Primary Power
  
  
  Trent has the ability to create a kinetic barrier that makes it impossible for physical objects to pass through.
  
  
  
  • Supporting Power: Trent has the ability to see and pass through the barrier he creates.
  
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  List and describe at least three limits of your character's power, including any 'rules' it follows, such as being ineffective on certain targets or past a certain distance. Use bullet points to keep each limitation clearly separate and organized. Remember, it's just as important to know where a power ends as well as where it begins. You may add as many limitations as you like, but you must not have less than three. Limitations not related to your character's superpower belong in the Skills and Flaws section.
  
  
  
  
  • There can be only one...: Trent can only have ONE barrier up at a time whether it is his "natural" self barrier or one he creates at a distance
    
    
  • Size does matter...: The size of the barrier cannot exceed 720 cubic feet (that's roughly a dome 7ft high and 14ft in diameter). The height and diameter can change, but the volume of which it can hold remains the same.
  • 
    
  • Can't touch this...: Trent's barrier is kinetic only, meaning physical objects may not pass through it. Gasses, Fire and other non-physical things may enter / leave the barrier
    
    
    
  • Don't distract me...: Trent can project a barrier up to 35m away. While doing so he must be solely focused on that barrier in order to keep it active
• A list of non-superpower (mundane) skills and flaws that your character has. Mundane skills include knowledge such as first-aid training, cooking, paleontology, etc. Mundane flaws include physical disabilities, or expanded information on negative personality traits such as gullibility, clumsiness, vanity, etc.
  
  
  
  Keep in mind that your character's superpowers might affect some of their normal skills, for example, we all expect hyper-intelligent supers to have more knowledge-related skills in this list than the average character. However, these skills and flaws should all be things that your character could lose their powers, and still retain.
  
  
  
  All characters should have at least two skills and two flaws.
  
  
  
  Skill: Bluffing - because of his "silver tongue" Trent can often bluff his way out of a sticky situation, one where his powers are not sufficient.
  
  
  
  Skill: Calculating - Trent, being a Cambridge Law grad, knows how to assess risk to ensure that before he commits to a task that it will bring him some level of public recognition.
  
  
  
  Flaw: Narcissistic - Trent takes immaculate care of himself (hence the health 3) and prides himself on his dashing good looks and social status. If a single hair is out of place, a thread loose on his clothes, or anything else cosmetically wrong with him then there's an issue and he needs to get it resolved immediately. He feeds off of fame in any form, but is an insatiable need.
  
  
  
  Flaw: Egotistical – Trent places a lot of value on himself and loves to talk about his accomplishments in order to make others feel envious of him.

I'm looking for feedback / comments so please feel free to take a hard look.

I already know I need a code name but my brain wasn't working but I wanted to get it up for others to look at.

I would add a caveat to "impossible for for physical objects to pass through." Like, what happens if someone drops the planet Venus on his head? Is he fine? He only has a defense of seven...

Maybe throw in a limitation that if, say, the Hulk starts punching his shield he gets a nosebleed, or starts to tire, or overheats maybe.

EDIT: you don't really need a codename. Probably a third of us don't have one.

 

[Bag o Fruit]

Although, if you're itching for a codename...

Looks neat. I am just doing a flyby comment because I am working on a prompt collaboration which I promised J I would have up for input by tonight.

I would suggest putting the two points from energy 1 and 1 into will and defense, personally.

I know the energy/will question is still open, but in my mind it is either/or. You should not have to pay for both.

The way you describe it seems like a will power, and the level of defense stated should be 8 at least, if not 9.

Why not gasses? Gas is physical in nature. It has kinetic energy (That's why it exerts pressure!)

I would include gasses as being blocked (and fire) but maybe not proof against light and telepathy and maybe other TK powers?

Neat idea. Simple and clean. (Contrary to popular belief, I DO appreciate simple, clean ideas. Its only when you consider consequences of simple ideas that things get messy.)

Hmm you raise a good point!

To your first point: I guess my thinking was that because it only stops physical objects (gasses, fire, etc... could still enter / exit) it could bear the brunt of quite a bit. As far as dropping Venus onto it.... well lets be a little more in the RP since I don't see anyone doing anything like that

2nd point: I guess I wasn't specific enough to really say that he can hold the shield at full strength until it simply fails (based on his Willpower). If a shield fails to excessive impacts then it would drain Trent of his stamina and would have to rest before he could create another distance shield. Does that make sense?

3rd point: I thought blue card heroes all had code names?

Thank you for your reply!

To your first point: I put some points into energy because I thought they were needed in order to "create" the barrier, if Weli says those points are not needed then I would happily make the move.

2nd point: I think an argument could be made for needing both depending on the character

3rd point: I feel that the barrier is a willpower and I agree that if I had more points that I would boost the defense.

4th point: I think kept it permeable to gasses because you could not physically "hold" them, same as with fire or wind which would be some obvious weaknesses. I do understand that gasses do have kinetic energy.

5th point: Thanks for the nod about being simple. I really wanted it to be very specific and have very obvious weak points because then it would be easier to work with others to produce some good synergy.

 

[Necessity4Fun]

3rd point: I thought blue card heroes all had code names?

If he ever worked as a vigilante (like your backstory implies), yes.

But I would think that IDK, if you worked as part of the police force or something, you wouldn't need it?
It's just a speculation.

 

[Gus]

All right. Got my prompt written up. Just a couple of study halls and covering a biology class today. Finally ready to dig into CSs and give feedback. Will try to get some writing done, but this seems to be the core need of the RP right now, so as much as I would like to work on the other 10 prompts I haven't got to, plus a few threads, THIS COMES FIRST!!!

*Rolls up sleeves and pant cuffs and wades in*

 

[yoikes]

I don't think the Ability Scores are related to personality traits at all, just power stuff.
Having a high Willpower would not affect her hesitant trait, and she can still be hesitant while having a high Willpower stats.

But, despite that little confusion of yours, perhaps you're on the right track.
It would make sense that her power would be more energy based than anything else and a Willpower of 3/4 would still make sense to me since Mitch's power doesn't seen to relate as much to mental effort and concentration as, for example, Cecilia's is. (Kendrick was a bad example, since he's got 3 in there too : P)

Aaahh yes.

Her power is more intellect than willpower.

Thanks for the input!

Also, how's Tomoko and Naran? Good?

 

[Necessity4Fun]

Aaahh yes.

Her power is more intellect than willpower.

Thanks for the input!

Also, how's Tomoko and Naran? Good?

You're welcome! OWO7

They both make sense to me. Loved Naran’s 'Messiah Conplex' flaw, with the whole 'want to save everyone' thing. I relate to that a little bit >w<, I think that was smart to include as well.

Tomoko is adorable, I love her so much and don't see anything wrong.

But, I stopped wagging in first, to let others who are better at this and see things I don't, talk first.
I started suggesting things for Mitch because Sin said they didn't know what to suggest and suddenly the idea came to me in a flash. You can say I was misteriously inspired XD

But yeah, I'm staying in the second base. I AM more of a problem solver (but not the one to spot it, usually) and like Syrenrei said on Discord, I'm 'incorrigibly nice', critique is not for me >w<

 

[Gus]

Wow did that ever take a long time!

@Natalie
Nix: Looks fine to me. Not clear what edits are still pending. Maybe that is out of date? If it was me, I would collapse 'animal communication' and 'body language reading' into 'non verbal communication' and leave a slot open for other potential development down the road. As I recall the reason Nix ended up with three in energy was due to some insistence in CC that the ability to project understanding into other minds might be developed into a psychic attack in the future. I would suggest leaving a 'supporting power' slot open for that. The two supporting powers are redundant. Animal vocalizations would be covered in the 'language' primary power, and the rest of animal commuication is non verbal and not so different from body language among primates with complex speech (such as people) That said, I don't think it is a big deal and I add my vote to the pile.

Melody: A very interesting, and problematic concept. (I LIKE PROBLEMATIC CONCEPTS!) So far, there has been a LOT of resistance to the idea of changeable stats. For most characters, the work around has been to simply assign the maximum possible potential to each relevant area and agree to work with less as appropriate. Like if you can be a human a lion or a gazzelle, you could put 2 in everything except Strength and Agility and put 4 in each of those but have them capped at 2 for human, 4 for lion and cap the strength for the gazelle but not the agility. Or something. That works well for limited forms, or for high rank characters, but where you have so many radically different forms, the cost of doing things that way is prohibitive. You could maybe get her in for S rank, but that would be a stretch and she really ought to be a C rank as written. I would suggest dropping a few of the more radical forms, and maybe drop a few of the problematic inanimate objects (But keep some also! That is too cool to drop entirely) As for getting the flexibility for the stats, Welian may kill me, but I really think you gotta have a base with some floating points that can be moved around to make her work.

Kate sort of offers a precedent for this: She is fast and tough in the day, smart and quick at night. The cost of this is that she is not in control of the changes. Unlike other form shifting characters who can will the change that they want to happen, she just changes with the time of day. Melody is similarly limited in that she can choose to change, but not the target form. I think that offers a reasonable way forward: Characters who have no choice in the changes can float stat points, but characters who can change when they want into what they want have to pay for maximum potential. IF that is acceptable to welian (and other members too!)--which is a big if—I would suggest a baseline normal kid with stats 2 1 2 2 3 1 1. That gives you 12 which is an E rank. At C rank that gives you 6 points to spare, so I would suggest maybe play around with assigning those as appropriate to the form with a provisional guideline of not allowing more than 4 added to any one stat. Then just run that list by welian again for suggestions. Most of the forms, as I recall won't need upward modification, and downward modifications don't need approval. You can play dumber or clumsier at your option any time.



Lucas seems to be all set? Yay! Now I just need to write him out of the corner I wrote him into.

Hunter seems much better balanced now. I would be proud to charge into battle alongside him again should the need ever arise. I will try very hard to do better next time as I am sure going into battle alongside me is the last thing you want after that last time... Maybe Lucas would make a better partner for Red. One thing that looks odd to my eye is that the headings are all indented with bullet points and the sub-headings/descriptions are left justified with no indent or bullet. That seems backwards, but maybe you want it that way? The relationships tab seems a little short also. Maybe add a few blurbs about students you have interacted with? Colleagues who almost got you killed? At least a post it note so you don't forget to kill them later. Oh, and as an afterthought, maybe steal a point from agility to boost defense? I know he is badass even without his powers, but that can be down to training; I have known formidable martial artists who were not quick on their feet. One lady I studied under was in her late sixties and could barely walk, but she'd put you on your ass, every single time. You don't have to be fast in a fight if you know just what the other person is up to. There is always a minimal countermove if you can read an attacker's intent accurately enough. I understand this is a ret-con, but it seems easier to justify his fighting skill with a low agility than his canonical tanking with a defense of just six. So that is my case for agility 1 defense 6. That and it would give a nice range of values for “1” with Aaron representing the truly impaired and Red representing just a bit below average from age and metallic tissues. As with Nix, this is only a suggestion and I approve either way.


ViAdvena
Marianne. I will just say: I am really glad you are back. I've missed Mary's presence in my classes, prompts and threads. I approve. I did notice a couple of nitpicky things: Firstly 'form' should be pluralized to 'forms' in the “Greed” section of biography. Second: You should have a phone in your equipment section. You know, for like, shooting candid videos of fellow students when they are at their most vulnerable. You thought I forgot about that didn't you? Well the internet didn't forget Lucas, and I haven't forgotten that scene either! Give Mary a phone.


Malikai
Jerimiah Johnson... Kid Green Lantern. (that is how I think of him.) He is already approved, and I have no problem with that. I look forward to his eventual development of his signature 'light whip' and may he never call shotgun before Manami.


The J
Hadrian: Something weird going on with the boxes in your heroism stats. Otherwise no notes. I approve and look forward to future projects with Ajax, not least because I love your profile pic.


Necessity4Fun
Juliana. If JJ is green lantern, you must be starfire. Haven't had a lot of chance to interact with Julie, but looking forward to it. That is a lovely list of skills and flaws, and I can't wait to see how she and Manami get along. I am guessing either best friends or arch-enemies, and I am fine with either one. Should be a blast to write.

Cecilia looks great! Can't wait for next team up with Manami and JJ!

Kendrick has always had a special place in my heart since his inception. I have also enjoyed his development, especially in the exploration of his peculiar friendship with Manami. I look forward to many more adventures.


Swoob
Eden gets the same note as Larry. Absences makes the heart grow impatient. Get back in there and entertain me! Also: Ostrich Riding Skill made me laugh.

B Bag o Fruit
Chris has been the subject of so many discussions and head-canon stories that I feel as if he were one of my own characters, or even my own son. Funny that. Funny too that of all my characters, I have had almost no interaction of any kind with Chris beyond “Hey there!” Explaining the mysteries of calling shotgun is as deep as we've got into in game. I look forward to changing that. No notes. Straight approval. Love that 'pinball' is beyond him.


ManicMuse Notes for you and notes for you on your notes for me also:

Izzy is back! Awesomesauce. I am going to have Aaron kidnapped just so she can rescue him.

Page. I love her. It is my dearest ambition to get her to set one of my characters on fire. Probably Lars. But Kate is coming out of the gate as a strong contender. I have no notes on page either. She is perfect in her beautiful imperfections

Gavin: Everybody's favorite E rank. Looking forward to his continuing story. I teared up a bit writing the summary of episode two over his part in the mall. Hoping Anneliesse can help him with the aftermath of that and that his ambitions with Victoria are successful. I would also like for him to meet Lars. Will they become nemeses? Will Gavin make a deal with the devil to get access to some of Lars's metamaterials tech? Can the wunderkid be corrupted by the madman who was once as he was? Only time will tell...

Lemon Boy I have questions about your questions: Specifically: did I address your questions adequately for any of these?

Aaron: I have not made any yet because I am not clear if my previous explanation satisfied anyone besides AllHailDago... I ought to have at least two votes between Dago and Nessy. Do I hear a third? MiniT? I feel pretty strongly that Aaron is ok as is, and would almost rather write him out than break canonical stories via clumsy ret-con. I am reluctant to do that also though because I understand Welian has plans for Aaron, though she has not let me know what they are.

Lars I have also not edited. I heard the critiques, but I also feel I answered them. He is not realistic, but he is not meant to be. He is a villain and needs to be larger than life to stand toe to toe with supers. I have plans for Lars. If you don't like his background, remember that nobody knows if any of that is true, including him. He is written to be a villain's villain, and if you don't like it, then take him down hard. I promise to make it a satisfying chase.

Manami too, I have clarified but not heard back about. She is a mid range D rank most of the time. She just gets a little stronger and more graceful in the water, and marginally smarter. She doesn't really hit C rank unless she is provoked in the extreme, which has yet to happen in the canon. Her only real fight scene was in a xmas prompt. If, on that basis, people really feel strongly that she should be B, I could do that, but I would be sad, because right now I have one character for each rank. She is not meant to be unbeatable like the hulk or wolverine (Or X-23 if you prefer) She has no healing factor, and she is not super tough. In a straight up fight, she will probably get her licks in and be knocked out. If you can land a solid hit, she'll go down like a sack of fish. (That said, she IS trained to fight, and in her element she'd be a force to be reckoned with simply because most people are not well suited to fighting in the water.) I just want a sweet innocent fish girl who at some point is going to sink an aircraft carrier by throwing a submarine through it. Is that so wrong?

Kate. I think I have two votes if I am counting right? Can I get a third or some feedback up in here?

Anthony: Added “Restless” to Flaws at Mini-T's suggestion. It's funny but I had thought I DID have that in there somewhere.


yoikes
Mitch: Borrower is a classic hero trope, and I've liked her ever since she was the only girl to take Lucas's sudden appearance in stride. Happy to have her on the team.

Sato Tomoko: IMOTO-SAN! DAITSUKE! ISSYO NI IKIMASHO, NE?

Naran: I approve. And to everyone who thinks she is only A rank, I submit to you: A kinetic energy capacitor might take a long time to charge, but there is no theoretical reason she needs to have an upper bound on the charge, nor a maximal power upon discharge. The upshot of this is that, given enough time to charge, she could potentially cause an extinction level event with one punch. Admittedly, unlike one punch man, she'd die from that, but still. She is, and deserves to be, a hard S rank. 9 Energy brought down a bridge by just looking at it. 9 energy in supplementation to 5 strength is terrifying to contemplate. She could easily level buildings with that, and could plausibly write a world ending event as a prompt. Awesome.

DamagedGlasses
Max & Luther: Everybody's favorite odd couple. I have only one complaint: Where's my dodgeball at?


Aldur
Eve Frickin' Knox. Love the codename, glad you kept it. Blow the trumpet and the walls come tumbling down. Limits on power seems better defined and in keeping with what has been written. She is one of my favorite A ranks, both conceptually and in practice. Had fun writing her and Kate apprehending Dr. D. Looking forward to future collaborations.

Teh Frixz
Avoyelles: As The Great Wilfred Brimley once said: “Ooh-wee! Ha ha! Sometimes I 'maze myself! Good whiskey make jackrabbit slap de bear!” That translates from the Cajun to “I approve of this wholeheartedly”

Tabitha: What can I say about Tabby. She has grown so much since episode 2.



welian
Morgan Aw. De sweet li'tl mer-kitten! Dunno if you saw my previous take, but basically I'd recommend 2 2 1 2 3 9 1

He definitely plays out as a will based character, not energy. I think that he should be hypothetically off the charts with the understanding that he is not there yet, and given how much he hates his powers may never be. But just on the off chance that he changes his mind. Give him godlike potential, and then leave it untapped. You know you want to. It's underachiever wish fulfillment cubed!


Dano
Trent: Standing by what I said before. I think he should block anything made of matter, including gasses. Light can still get through, so lasers work fine. Psychic attacks would still work. Oppositional TK could still penetrate it. Magnetic fields. Maybe electricity? Even if electrons couldn't get through (being physical) they could still coat the surface of the shield and cause discharges inside it by induction. Oh, also seismic waves! If you make a dome on the ground they can't punch through shield to get you, but they can still punch the ground outside dome, right? That is plenty of vulnerabilities, I think. I am a big believer in taking away the option to just punch your way through a problem because 'epic' fights where the hero and the villain just trade mighty blows is boring to me. Go whole hog: Prevent any kind of matter from penetrating the shield. That will force creative approaches to get round it. Furthermore, if gasses can't penetrate it, you could use it in space! Also, you would have to be worried about running out of air eventually if the bad guys just decide to besiege you.

If you're still taking suggestions for codenames I really like “Duban” The black shield of Cu Chulainn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cú_Chulainn
It plays into your background being something of a 'black sheep' with issues with your father.

Speaking of which, I feel like that part of the history needs a little more detail? The dad seems a bit... cartoonish? Why was perfection still not good enough? What was the backhand for? For being perfect? I don't get what was going on there. Additionally, I am not sure why simply having powers would be grounds for disbarment? That needs fleshing out I think.

Overall though, pretty cool, flawed, and interesting character. Add some relationships, delete the default descriptions for the skills/flaws and tools/weapons tab and you have my vote for sure!

 

[welian]

Oh my gosh, I'm the GM, I can't just give my own character godlike potential!

Personally, I don't really think I'm going to comment on the whole Aaron situation because I'm just a bit too strongly biased to judge him fairly. Honestly, you could make Aaron blind, deaf and dumb and I'd still find him totally unacceptable if he still had even the capability to end the world, even if it isn't going to be used.

I'm a bit wary of the fact that Lars background could now be fake. Not exactly fond of things like that where the player could just potentially pull something out of their ass and scream "AH, BUT YOU SEE, IT WAS FAKE ALL ALONG AND I ACTUALLY CAN DO OR DID THIS" and other stuff like that.

For Manami, I'd still prefer she either gets a nerf to her speed in water or her Agility gets increased to match the speed she is capable of going at. I'm pretty sure Stats are made to reflect maximum potential no matter what and to me, Manami's maximum potential isn't being properly reflected at all in the Agility stats.

Unsure if you've posted him here yet or not, but I also find it very weird and a bit irksome that Lucas can basically have regeneration, but It's not reflected in his stats at all as far as I can remember.

 

[Gus]

Agility =/= speed

She can go fast in a more or less straight line.
