Things Done in the Dark OOC: A Mind Games RP: Gone Dark

are you guys discussing how to use a cat as a time machine?

Dude, it doesn't matter what the anchor is. All the machine sees it as is a blob of matter. A cat is a blob of matter. A Police box is a blob of matter. The Earth is a blob of matter. It doesn't matter what your using as a anchor. All it is, is coordinates on a screen to the actual machine. It is possible, you just don't like the idea of a cat being able to teleport. Why?

yes it is..... I still wonder how this conversation started...

lol. That is funny....

This conversation is so intellectual it's stupid.

God-Mod, it's Maxx's RP. He may do as he decides. If he doesn't want a superintelligent teleporting cat in his RP, there wont be any superintelligent teleporting cats in the RP. Simple as that. It doesn't matter if it's possible or not and I honestly dont care what points you and him are trying to get across.

Now move on with it and make a damn post in the IC. Arguing over this gets nobody anywhere.

YOU DOOF!!!!!! YOU CAN'T PUT A TIME MACHINE IN A CAT!!!!

Maxx...

Technically based on my Understanding of it the Cat Isn't the Time machine, just it's target.... But more than likely I'm wrong.

I want to see some scientific article explaining in excruciating detail how this would work. It must be written by a real quantum physicist, not you. Those time travel panels don't count.

I still found it funny.

Screw it. I like Loki too much to drop him out of this RP, so I guess I'll just fine tune him.

Name: Loki (Loh-Kee)

Age: 134 (he can't die of old age, and he looks like he's only a year old)

Gender: Male

Species Name: Lorem Ipsum

Appearance:

Height: 9 in.
Length: 1 ft
Weight: 20 lb

Personality: Loki is thought of as very energetic and incredibly confident, to the point where he can be a bit cocky. He is incredibly daring, and willing to take risks because he thinks he probably won't get harmed, which is almost always the case. He is also very curious, and it's his personal goal to try and learn everything the universe has to offer. He is also very proud of who he is and what he does best, and if anyone says otherwise, he would think that person is incredibly stupid.

Weapons/Abilities: Loki may look like an average house cat on the outside, but his internal anatomy couldn't be anymore different. He has incredible endurance, intelligence, speed and jumping power. He can be thrown at the wall one way, then thrown at another wall, then come bouncing back to fight some more. He is not invincible, however. Smashing into those walls hurt, though maybe not as much. Yeah, he could probably jump off an 8 story building and live, but he would probably break a few bones. Yeah, you could shoot him with a pistol, and the bullet may not go very deep, but he would still bleed from it. He is also still vulnerable to fire, lightning, etc. He can also run at a top speed of 25 mph, though he can't run that fast for long. Like a cheetah, his body will heat up quickly. And he can jump into the air and be 10 feet from the ground. His endurance allows him to land back on the ground without getting hurt. He also has retractable claws, that he can use to attempt to pick locks or scratch someone. Last but not least he has an immune system that will never slow down on its own.

Other: He does not like to drink sodium hydroxide.

Well, I hope this gets accepted. I know I didn't get into detail as to why he can do all those things, but I really don't think it matters. And yes, I totally dropped the teleportation thing, since it was such an issue.

Please explain how he is so durable.

For reasons obvious I find this hilarious.

I like this forum. This is a nice CENSORED forum.

Anyone who gets the reference and the person who said it gets a cookie. I'll give you a hint: It's a far cry from what you think.

No, flox! You need to explain how it works. Ask God Mod; she'll whip something up.

You can't just tell me "Jimmy can fly" without explaining how Jimmy does that.

I can help provide information on endurance, Flower, although in truth, I don't think elephant skin is really that strong. One of the most resilient and combat-related creatures in the natural world that don't have shells or dermal armor is the honey badger. A honey badger's skin is extremely thick and loose. Because its skin is so thick, most sharp objects (Including machetes) don't affect it, not saying it's bullet proof, but teeth and claws, (Or blades) would be rendered mostly useless. Because it's skin is remarkably loose, the only safe place to grab the animal is by the scruff of its neck, as anywhere else, it can still twist around and bite you. The strength of a jaguar's jaw can crush the skull of most creatures, and a single swing of a tiger's paw can shatter the spine of a bear.

As for fast running, physical augmentations would be required. A deeper, larger chest cavity to accommodate a large heart and lungs, longer, more powerful legs, and a slightly shorter tail that acts as a rudder for fast turns. The claws should be semi-retractable, so that they aren't fully out, but just far enough to allow gripping surfaces. Larger nostrils aid in taking in air.

Honey badger, Flower, normal badgers don't have that trait. High-jumping animals, such as the kudu and tiger, possess extremely muscular hind legs, and the tiger and jaguar possess larger claws that are likely more hooked in shape, also being sharper, which allows them to climb. If you want his skeletal structure to handle the shock, the tibia and fibula bones in the hind leg, along with the carpals of the hind paws, would be fused into single, strong bones. This would probably make it hard to move the foot in a certain way, maybe to the side of their normal position, though. The bones in the front legs would have also fused to allow better shock absorbing capability on the landings, this is how a frog handles such jumps. Now, if you wanted to base it on insects, jumping spiders, in general, have well-developed natural hydraulic systems in their legs. By increasing blood pressure in the hind legs, they can jump up to fifty times their height. I would highly recommend the bone fusion, though, because it's easier for bones to absorb the shock if they're solid. Cats may land on their feet, but this is because their legs are shorter compared to their body, allowing them to twist in midair so they land in a certain way. If they have too much shock applied to their legs, their bones will break, because they aren't adapted to make huge jumps.

Now, I am aware you are removing super speed, but you should still give him a larger rib cage, regardless. This just means he'll be barrel-chested, for a house cat, there's not much external change. Whether it's running or jumping, a large heart and lungs would aid in both, because this means better capability for transporting oxygen and nutrients through the body.
