Did no one else want to try suggesting someone from my massive album?

Goodness! So many ideas:

- Light and Darkness energy projector - Flux
- Electricity manipulator - Overload
- Super-metabolism archer - Spectrum Mark

Hard to choose.

By the way, I won't be doing "Elemental". The build is too complex and I am not yet finding a way to successfully pull it together.

I may stick to Cyclone, or put one of the above together.

Every time I notice the game's name I can't help but think "dash dash dash!" https://youtu.be/GvfFIfbEHHI

I decided to bounce over to Anathema, goddess of reflections, because the GM had her in xir list and the other ones -- Crois and Ralshae -- are both Eternals and cannot possibly be portrayed within the game's background. Anathema is a weird character; she's a summoner/artificer/ritualist/illusionist with no direct combat ability at all. She might have a bit of overlap with Yun's super-genius character if xe decides to go that direction, although her gadgets are more mystical than technological... assuming of course that such things fit with the GM's vision of how the world works.

Alright, GM,

I have a concept down. I am liking this one for the potential outside of a fight.

The idea is a mix of mental "allure of darkness" creation, crystalized into the concept of "Shadows". The power is a bit mental/psychic, which is then focused into more physical manifestations.

Does this work as a mutation?

And... if we have a concept, where would you like to see it posted?

Yes I don't have restriction on powers. They come from the same source but take variety of form. You can take the Ritualist advantage, they are just actions who focus the power of the character under different forms and are instinctifs, the powers come with the knowledge to use them (but not understand them). So a genius as the blueprint in her head while the ritualist as the knowledge of the rituals he can do.

Post where you at the condition we can access the link. I will create a Notice with everyone link, and maybe put every sheets on my google drive and give access to have everything centralized.

Great. That's a lot of flexibility.

I have an initial build here, powers and points only. Still needs background and personality, and we know the origin is, well, a meteorite.

Let me know if this set works. I have added a few explanatory words for each power so that they can make more sense in his context.

Hey y'all.

Looks like I'm the last one on the starting roster, so thanks for having me.

I've got two concepts I'm interested in developing...  I've done variations on Arianrod before but don't have access to my old builds anymore.  So, both would be built from the ground up.

Chimera  (my first choice)
Water elemental, with possible ranges including ice and steam effects.  I'm thinking olympic athlete with some emotional component as a weakness or draqwback that may affect her powers...   She is a literal chimera (she absorbed her twin in the womb and actually has two DNA in her body), and when she sleeps, her "sister" manifests as a water-form, with other powers also asociated with water...  But they are different both in power-profile and personality.


Arianrod (a more than acceptable backup)
Spider-themed.  Gymnast,  scrapper, Able to take on a "swarm form" of arachnids and communicate with local arachnids on a gestalt empathy level.  Possibly regeneration associated with the swarm form.  spits venomous "shards" rather than flings spiderman webbing....  I'm interested in exploring the change of and possibly fear of the gradual loss of identity...

Any preference?

Currently Psyche is a mix between telekinesis and telepathy (i.e. the Jean Grey powerset, minus Phoenix Force bullshit), but if we do get a gravity controller I think I might shift it all the way towards telepathy so as not to tread on toes.

EDIT:

Nah, telekinesis is fun.

In reply to jait (msg # 33):

I really like the idea behind Chimera. Arianrod has a lot of overlap with my most likely backup character in the event Anathema does not work out, which she may not because of...

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 31):

I'm not sure this works out well for Anathema. I imagined that her magic was utilizing the mystical powers of the meteorite itself that are now permeating the world, with an overall goal of understanding how it works.

MrKinister: I like the powerset I will try do dissect it better when I have time.

jait: The two are cool concept so I don't have preference (maybe a little toward Chimera).

TMTO: Telekinesis is best power! Seriously that my favorite powerset, you can do near anything with application of kinetic force.

Loony: Your concept can work. Powers are hightly personal and each see the world differently. For one their powers could show them that everything is made of mystical glyphes and changing these glypes changes the object, while another could see a computer code and have the same effect. Yours powers can help you understand the fondamental forces of the univers just with different interfaces, and the Expertise "Magic" represent how well you undertsand what your power tell you.

By all means, please.

All the numbers are present. I hope I didn't make any math errors.

If it is ok, I'll go with it.

MrKinister: I finally had the time go throught your sheet seriously. It's good except that you surcharged the cost on your attack powers.

Strenght-bassed Damage 8, Affect Insubstantial cost 16 points, not 18 (Damage is at 1p/r and Affect Insubstantial is at 1pts/r, in total 2pts/r, so 8 ranks equal 16pts), unless I miss something. Same for Shadow's Sweep.

Isn't "Affects Insubstantial" a flat extra, costing only one or two points?

Oh. Yes you are right. My bad. Flat+1 work at half stength, while flat+2 work at full strength.

So the cost should be 9 or 10 points, unless you forgot another modifier.

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 36):

Not sure I like that interpretation. I'm going to fall back to Kaori the bug girl.

Wow. Thanks. I have no idea how I missed that, but clearly I did. And not in my favor either. So, that's good. =)

I'll correct it when I have a chance, and perhaps add a few more skills, or maybe another flavor power.

Hmmm... I suspect I forgot to add an extra effect to that Damage, since this is a copy of my HeroLab writeup. I'll take a look at it tonight, once I get home.

Greetings everyone! I'll probably be the slowpoke for a while, as I'm very busy trying to adopt a child (while also ushering my current foster placement to its expected reunification in the coming months). Anyway, I'm kicking around two concepts (note that I haven't had any real time to read what's come before in this thread but will try tomorrow). The first concept is a teen dad from the "wrong side of the tracks" who's also an aspiring rock star and actually has the talent to pull it off. Power-wise, he's a reality shaper, but it isn't what it sounds like. Basically, he's a typical blaster with judicious use of Variable Descriptor to allow me to RP his effects in different ways. EX:

Planar Outburst X [2 + 2 PP/rank + 3] ?? PP
Effect: Move Object (standard, perception, instant)
Descriptors: Cosmic, Variable (any energy or matter)
Traits: Lifting Capacity (?)
Flat Extras: Precise, Variable Descriptor 2
Ranked Extras: Damaging, Increased Range

The second concept is a powerhouse who accomplishes things by controlling vectors. Basically, he uses his mind rather than his muscles to hit things very hard, as well as ignore damage. Playing into his whole schtick, he's also a world-class hacker. Unfortunately, this character isn't as developed as the other currently. So, I'm not entirely sure where I want to take this guy just yet.

Well, those are the concepts I'm kicking around for now. Feel free to chime in on them if you'd like.

Ok, found it. I did indeed miss the "multiattack" extra in that power. No wonder. I have updated the sheet to include it.

Well, regardless, it still comes out to the same point cost since it is an array after all.

Thanks for catching that. =)

All right.   I've got a preliminary build put together.

Sarah Swath is an olympic gold medalist swimmer and one of Penmore's newer darlings.  She's always had an affinity with water.  She works (and trains) at a local athletic center, does the celebrity thing and had mostly adjusted to the increased public attention.  She's known all her life that she is a chimera (absorbed her twin sister in utero).  In fact, she has one green eye, one blue.

Once the meteor hit, Sarah's appearance has changed dramatically.  She's now blue-skinned and blue-haired with gills and webbed-feet and fingers.  Still moderately attractive, despite the very obvious alien appearance.

Anahita manifests only as a water-form, when Sarah allows it or Sarah loses consciousness, although Sarah's surrendering control to Anahita is not a guarantee that Anahita will take it.  When Anahita gives over control, Sarah doesn't have a choice.

Ana can almost pass as human, (Subtle 1, not Subtle 2) but doesn't have the fine-details down.  So, up close, she's a girl-shaped form of water.  She's also mute, lacking the vocal apparatus of the human body.

I did a rapid glance and I like the concept, I will go a little futher in it tommorow. Just a question, I don't have the Source Extra, it's equivalent to Limited to Near Water Source? And the Enhanced Trait under Inate Package is not defined.

In reply to PaperTiger (msg # 44):

Good luck for the adoption.

I personally like the second more, but it's your character and the first concept could be great to roleplay.

So here's the fun thing.

Psyche's Flight is Platform based, which means she needs to be supported by something. I happened to find some very inspiring videos for this.

Very inspiring, yes! ^_^

Although I think at that point it functions more like a vehicle than a platform.

Magic carpets are supposed to be modelled that way, actually. Same with wishing chairs flying off to the magical faraway tree. :)

Status update please~!
