[OOC] There Are No Heroes

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I'm considering a psychic character, but just to clarify, it would take 1 fate point to have a single psychic power and a second fate point for an additional ability? I'm considering between remote viewing and telekinesis.

@knighthawk

It costs one twist of Fate to gain what would be assumed as a discipline of psychic ability. For example, because remote viewing and telekinesis are not closely related, they would cost two together; they are considered two unalike abilities. Furthermore, if you wanted to be proficient with them, such as performing complex, difficult or straining tasks, it would take a third point of Fate. By that I mean, it would not be wrong for a psychic with telekinesis to move objects around ten to fifteen pounds with concentrated effort, with full effort and nothing else one could slow or even halt a person running, but with no effort one could easily bring a rock to their hand. A complex task would be something akin to causing an enemy's weapon to drop its magazine and forcefully lock its bolt - and with enough strength that the person couldn't just depress the lever and cause it to slide forward.

Remote viewing, by that same standard, is brief, hazy, unclear and often confusing or worse; one can imagine how getting blunt information across huge distances might affect perception. With someone specialized or adept in it? They might instead be able to identify a white car's make, model, year, its number of occupants, direction of travel and a brief description of those in it. Otherwise it's just a white sedan with maybe three men in it wearing dark clothes.

I hope that provides you a bit of insight into how these abilities operate; psychics and wizards are much more heavily limited because of their versatility and relative freedom to mingle without consequence beyond maybe a headache or eventual madness.

@RedXCross Hope that's alright. I feel bad it's been back-and-forth between me and @The Harbinger of Ferocity, lol, so feel free to take some liberties with Piper to get it moving.

@Kidd

You and @RedXCross have an opportunity to interact if you wish as I will not be around this weekend; my next post being Monday evening.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

You can expect a post from me this coming evening.

[RedXCross]

Hey @Kidd, where are ya?

[Kidd]

Hey, sorry! I was swamped with work and school.

I'll try to be more conscientious in letting you guys know when I'll be MIA for a bit. I should be around this weekend though

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Expect a post from me this evening.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Given both your characters are familiar enough to know some of the strange, @RedXCross, @Kidd, I will concede that this is not lycanthropic in nature. I was intentionally a bit vague about it at first, but I do not want to lead you down the overtly wrong path.

[RedXCross]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity
Ehh, that's fine. I mean, Chris knows vamps exist and that's about it. Everything else is speculation and conjecture.

Monster thing ripped person apart and left animal-like damage. I don't think it's going to be exactly on the mark.

I changed it to "supernatural" though just to leave things a little more vague.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

That works out much better, @RedXCross. I have no issue providing misinformation or clouding obvious answers until you all go digging for them, I just do not want to cement you into a certain path when your characters would know that's not the right one. All I can give you, is that the attacker appears to be human, but it's off - well off - beyond that.

[Kidd]

I'm in classes all day but I'll try to reply tonight

[Kidd]

Sorry that took longer than I expected. Stuff came up yesterday

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

No need to worry, @Kidd, @RedXCross. I will post tonight myself then and we will keep this story moving.

[RedXCross]

I'll try to get some sort of post up today.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Kidd, hopefully you are able to post soon?

[Kidd]

Yes! I'll work on a post right now. My Fridays are swamped, but it's finally the weekend.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Kidd, @RedXCross, expect a post from me the following day. I hope you are still able to find yourselves involved and intrigued in this story thus far, as slow going as it might be at times.

[RedXCross]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity I don't mind a slow burn at all! It may be slow, but it's actually moving forward, which is something that doesn't really happen in many RPs if you're not careful. :P

[Ashevelendar]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Hello ! This RP is still alive ? It looks really interesting :)

[Kidd]

I don't mind the slow! I have a lot of other RPs AND a lot of school work and work work to keep up with, aha. I am definitely still invested in the RP, and you're doing a great job GMing.

ALSO, as a heads up: I'll be leaving for vacation Friday morning (it's Tuesday evening for me now), so I won't be around to post for a week. If you want, I don't mind if Piper is set to autopilot for that week so the RP can keep going.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Yes, this roleplay is still active and posting, @Ashevelendar. It is also taking character submissions if you are interested.

[Ashevelendar]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Thanks for the reply. I've seen the days on the IC posts and that's why I asked.

I'll have a CS up tonight ( 8:36 AM here ).

Quick question. Can we make any kind of inhumans ? Meaning anything that can "evolve" from a human ? Like...a Banshee let's say ?
