Era of the Old/New Gods - Closed, may be reopened...

Btw guys, just to give you guys an advantage over Carter, I'm giving him the intelligence and grasp of the universe of a kindergartner, if you couldn't tell from my first post.

Lone, is it cool if Carter keeps the faster healing ability? I just figured that a gigantic beast the looks like your worst nightmare is going to end up being a bit of a bullet monkey, and being able to heal quicker would help.

Also, since I haven't posted as her yet, can I change Claire's power? I want to change it to closer to the original electricity manipulation, except change it to where she can only utilize the electricity through a metal medium.

1). How fast? If it's instant then I'm going have to say no. If not, then go ahead.



2). Sure.

So the manipulation of electrical currents? Cool.

@lone- um, not sure. It won't be instant, because that's stupid and overpowered. Well, I would say three times faster, as that way he could heal from a gunshot wound in about a month, though a month IC time can be forever. Six times faster would set his recovery at two weeks, which is a long time, but not impossibly long. Which would you prefer?

@lieo-basically yeah, except she generates the current using the same system that she always has (her neurons generate a whole hell of a lot of excess energy). How it worked before was that the more she moved, the stronger the electricity got, and keeping her from moving causes her to lose her powers. This will work similarly, except the electricity she generates is too unstable to use like a lightning blade, so it has to be conducted through a metal medium of some sort.

Avoid spandex.

Im fine with three times faster.

What would spandex do?

I believe that was an attempt at humor.

Spandex is also a rubber based material.

Wait....


...

what? The Lieo is attempting humor? I must inform the rest of the scientific community!

So Maxx, is Claire still going to be the mercenary-ish type? Because if so then I have a plot in mind.



Anyway, time for Amnesia.

yes. Fire the PM ray!

Sent.


And I found two possible choices for Drake's theme song...

The second one.

Since I basically revealed it in the chat here is Lash's power in dept

New Supplice wrote:

Power: Remember when I said Lash's power has something to do with emotion? Her emotional state in fact. Depending on the emotion she's feeling her body will change and give her abilities based around that emotion (Emotional Power Shifting). In addition; a hardly visible aura will surround her and have different colors depending on said emotion. If she's given the opportunity Lash can change her own emotion if she concentrates greatly on thoughts about what makes her feel these emotions.

Anger. When Lash gets p*ssed off no matter the reason her aura will turn blood red. At will she'll be able to emit a thick blood red gas -which appears heavily like steam- out of her sweat pores. With one focused thought this gas will sort of "combust" giving anything that is touching it one very bad electric shock and will immediately dissipate. Anyone who breathes in this gas will get twice the shocking.


Fear. First, when Lash gets scared she'll wet herself and that aura will turn bright yellow (lol). Then, her skin will take on the features of say a chameleon. As in it'll change colors to camouflage Lash in her environment, making hard to see but not completely invisible. Not too much to explain about this, you've seen this before.


Love/Lust. Ever heard the phrase: Love Heals? Well, when Lash is feeling love/lust her aura will turn dark purple, and through physical acts of affection (Hugs, Kisses, etc) she'll heal both physical and emotional wounds. It varies depending on how loving she's feeling as more intimate means of showing love may well heal all wounds. A side effect of this is that you can literally become addicted to her love.

Happiness. That Aura will shift to light-green. Lash's eyes will turn the same shade of green as her aura, of course, this means that anyone who looks in her eyes will be overloaded with happiness that they'll be pacified. No matter how angry or sad they are they will become happy. Much like her Love someone can get addicted to her Happiness.


Sorrow/Grief. Lash's aura will turn dark blue when she's saw (awwww). Lash's tears (if she starts crying) will emit a high concentrated gaseous chemical that will cause anyone's eyes and other orifices in the area will sting like hell, causing them to tear like she has.


Hatred. Lash doesn't get a usual aura, instead depending on the amount of hatred she is currently feeling (and the hatred of those around her) the aura will start white and gradually get darker until it is black. During that process Lash will gain enhanced strength and durability, since I was literally brain dead when it came to thinking of what Hatred will do. Nothing extreme, her skin will be strong enough to repel knives if no significant force has been applied and she'll be strong enough to lift your average human. Though, the more hatred around her the stronger she'll get.


Anticipation. When Lash is anticipating something her aura will turn dark yellow and pink. Anything her body will speed up, not like super speed or anything. Like, her heart will go faster, her blood pressure will go up, etc. She'll be able to react to things faster, meaning enhanced reflexes but nothing extreme, and her body will heal minor physical wounds much faster than when she isn't feeling anticipation. Though, she has a heightened chance to have a heart attack, and will be nervous or hell sometimes she won't think things through.


Nostalgia. Lash's aura will turn orange when she's reminiscing about the past. On touch her aura will wrap around somebody and their memories will be stolen by Lash. As she'll receive them and whoever she stole the memories from will lose them forever. Stealing memories will boost Lash's memory greatly to the point of where she'll have photographic memory, and will be twenty times more observant.


On touch Lash can alter people's emotional state. She can make people angry, calm, lustful, happy, etc. Anything she can think of, potentially this ability can be much like mind control as she can easily control a person through clever use, such as she can cause the person attacking her to calm down, or incite a violent rage. She can also completely remove emotions from people making them apathetic. There are a few drawbacks to this, first the person must not know of this power or they will easily be able to resist. Second, it's always temporary and will always wear off after a few minutes, or seconds (so she could make someone calm enough not to attack her- only for a few minutes later for that rage to return) and the target will revert to their natural emotional state.



In addition Lash can "sense" the emotions of those around her, it's basic but if someone walks to her outside her line of vision she'll know. Though, she can't tell the exact emotion unless she looks at them. If she looks at people she'll be able to tell their emotion--- as everyone has several colors surrounding them each associated with an emotion. Shouldn't need too much explanation. With this ability Lash has an enhanced ability to understand emotions, and as a result, she can also understand people at a greater level merely from their emotions. Another ability she has in relation to this is that on touch she instantly know all about somebody's emotions in great detail. To save you a lot of reading (and me a lot of typing); on touch she'll know every emotion the person has felt (going as far back as the very moment of birth) depending on how long she touched the person. I guess it's only useful for character interaction, or if the right moment calls for it.


Lash can also see the very source of emotions which I call The Emotional Panorama and she can see Emotional Echos. The Emotional Panorama is the collection of emotions that take the appearance of say single colored (Depending on which emotion) Northern Lights. The Emotional Panorama is every where there's emotions, every inch of the Emotional Panorama is connected even the differently emotions/colors. Emotional Echos are much like the Emotional Panorama in terms of appearance, they take the form of colored-clouds instead of the interconnected Panorama. Echoes are created when very strong emotions are felt (Such as extreme sorrow over a deceased loved one) and will remain there for months on end. Only Lash can see this, though she has the ability to visualize the Panorama for everyone else to see. This ability is useless until she taps into it, much like her ability to know people's emotions in-detail on touch she can learn about the emotions felt associated to those connected to the panorama, and if she taps into an emotional echo she can see a memory attached to the echo. Of course this causes Lash to get major head-aches as her mind is filled with all sorts of information.

Name: Martin Dahl
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Martin is a Danish male standing at around 5"10. Although he is healthy, Martin is not very muscular or large, but seeming to have a wiry strength, although he isn't the definition of strong. Thus he is pretty lightweight, which contributes to being a "glass cannon," when using his powers. He has fairly pale skin and dark blue eyes, with sharp facial features. His skin is slightly tanned due to living in California for several years, and the coloration simply hasn't yet disappeared. In addition to this, a couple scars can be seen upon his face and several other parts of his body if you get close enough, due to abuse by his late stepfather. The most prominent of these is a short mark travelling down his right cheek. Martin has short, dark blonde hair that is usually unkempt - on occasion, he will comb it, but this is rare. Martin usually wears casual clothes - A t-shirt, grey hoodie, dark blue jeans, and Nike sneakers are his usual attire. The shirts are usually of different surf/skate brands. Rarely, he will wear a collared shirt and khakis, but only on special events such going out to dinner.

Personality: Martin is usually fairly quiet. He seems to constantly be pondering something, although nobody is ever quite sure what this is. When he does speak, he does so normally, although if he will sometimes do so with a tone of anger from being interrupted from his thoughts. Around his friends and people he trusts (Martin generally does not trust many people), he can be talkative and outgoing. He is fairly serious, although will crack a joke every once in a while.

Other: Martin has had an interesting history. As a young child in California, his mother divorced and married another man. Although he was kind and gentle to his wife, he was abusive towards his stepson, often hitting and terrorizing him. At around age 7 the two got in a large fight. After being beaten down on multiple occasions, a bruised and tired Martin accidentally discovered his power by using a vibration shockwave on his father, knocking him back into a wall. The stepfather died from brain damage due to this. Nobody could figure out why this was, as Martin was a short and thin young child and could not have possibly killed a 6 foot, 250 pound man. His mother, rather superstitious, believed the cause had been demons infested in her child and abandoned the child at an orphanage. After spending a couple months there, he was adopted by a young italian couple who lived in San Francisco. After living there for several more years, he was brought to Black Fall due to his adopted father having to change jobs at the age of 15.

Power: Martin can generate a sonic vibration wave from his body. The ability to create such a shockwave has a variety of uses, from knocking objects or people back to shattering fragile objects. When this is in use, the wave can look like distortions in the air travelling in the direction of it. In addition to this, Martin can generate vibrations directly from his body - a power that also has a variety of uses. He can also diminish or negate outside vibrations or those within his body, thus being able to control the strength of these. However, such a power does not come with out a price - After using this, Martin can feel dizzy, nausea, or lightheaded. After using it for 10 years he's been able to ignore immediate effects but after prolonged use, such as a fight, these effects can certainly take place. In addition he is considered a "glass cannon," due to his frailty. He is not immune to his own shockwaves and vibrations, and if he is not focusing himself they can break his bones and cause other types of internal damage.

Lone, this is just a joural-style nitpick, but you know Carter technically doesn't have a face, right?

Yes...

You said neron examined Carter's face. But carter doesn't have a face.

Yeah, uh fixed to appease your anusburgers.

What's an anusburger?

Inside joke.

Har Har Har.

Don't you think that's rather insensitive?

Nope. Not at all. =P
