Easy there, guys. Don't explode your brains and take it down a notch with the off-topic stuff, please and thank you. Glad to see you're getting along so well, though. ;)

Okay, here it is; properly. XD

[quote=Ethan] I'll let my Character Sheet do the talking. ^-^[/quote]

A wise idea.

When I read the age and appearance on your character, it was like seeing a ghost. He reminds me of Kidney, which both horrifies and fascinates me. Kidney was the greatest antagonist ever to grace the pages of Twisted, just so you know.

The only issue I see with the CS is Roger’s ability to “distort reality”. To be able to actually distort the reality of the dimension is just too strong: coupled with his advanced dementia, he’d be housed downstairs. I have two suggestions for how to fix this. One: Roger is able to distort the [i]perceived[/i] reality of one person, and only at a time when they are overcome with emotion. (Be it any emotion or a particular one like nostalgia or wistfulness.) Two: (I like this one better!) He carries with him a small, unassuming writing implement. Instead of drawing on paper, he can draw on the fabric of reality and send little cartoon animals, people, whatever, bouncing out of thin air. I would think he’d have to wear some kind of gloves to keep him from imbuing these creations with the strength and willpower to do any harm, and they might even break apart when touched or when bumping into something too roughly. (In my mind, I see fine-gauge titanium chains around Roger’s wrists, outside the gloves, making them impossible to take off… but the specific details are up to you.)

Or, if you have another idea for his powers, feel free to bounce it off me. I’m all ears! :)

The others are right, Roger is wonderful. It's the first time I've seen a super soldier done in a manner that didn't make him seem the sort to pull a Leroy Jenkins. :golfclap Well done!

[b]Kiddo,[/b] I’m super-cool with you playing his withdrawl symptoms as part of his arrival. Good to hear we’re on the same page.

I’m also with you on the source material: an OC in the borrowed setting. I have great respect for fanfic, so don’t be ashamed of your inspiration: some of that stuff is completely brilliant. Those writers just do it differently than we do, that’s all.

In regards to Kevin’s powers and his limiter, I’ll start with a quote from Wikipedia on electric shock.

[quote=The Wiki] The minimum current a human can feel depends on the current type (AC or DC) and frequency. A person can feel at least 1 mA (rms) of AC at 60 Hz, while at least 5 mA for DC. At around 10 milliamperes, AC current passing through the arm of a 68 kg (150 lb) human can cause powerful muscle contractions; the victim is unable to voluntarily control muscles and cannot release an electrified object. This is known as the "let go threshold" and is a criterion for shock hazard in electrical regulations.[/quote]

That’s the limit of what Kevin can do, the "Let Go" threshold. I’m too lazy for much further research, but I’m going to say that’s also enough to blow out a light bulb, fry a television or a computer screen, and to be a literal pain in the ass. Here’s how the collar works: it’s a solid piece of metal (perhaps the metal from a Master Pokeball?), and doesn’t appear to have a seam. The Institute staff lasered away the fur beneath before attaching it, and it doesn’t ever move. (You can decide if it’s physically attached to him: I was thinking through a dermal piercing or a small wire that goes into his spine. But if that’s not cool with you, it doesn’t have to be. I’m just violent.) There’s a microchip situated directly over his spine that interrupts his neural impulses enough that he can’t use his psychic or electrical attacks very well. This is very similar to the chip implanted in my Cadie’s skull which keeps her telekinesis restrained.

[quote=Kiddo] I'd like, if possible, to be allowed to keep his energy power uninhibited.[/quote]

[img=http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/MadeByMaiden/LoLBlackWidowNope_zpsb6a6b9e3.gif]

Sorry. If you want him uninhibited you’ll have to change his power to something significantly weaker… like making him naturally the power level I described above. I would suggest you keep his power level and accept the collar. I think (considering the setting) I’ve described a very reasonable method of restraint.

I agree that his interactions with the other characters have great potential for hilarity, but you need to check the OOC first posts again. The Ragdoll belonged to one of our former players, and will be officially removed (much to Buck’s dismay) in my next post. The remaining PC’s are Pumirya’s Simone, El_Tigre’s Dante, Oblivion’s Anya, Katelyn’s Lia, and my own Cadence, Jax, Bernadette, and Nurse Buck. (Maybe Jean, but all the other nurses are NPCs.) Bernie does have a CS but it’s not finished so I haven’t added it to my gallery yet. Just one more thing on my long to-do list.

Nonsequitur, that’s beautiful. So Ryn was a bit of a bully and Bob was a bug. I’m satisfied, and thank you. :)

Amazing work, everyone! These are all brilliant, and I’m excited to see the characters in play. I’m curious as to whether or not you guys would like to do a simple character exercise for me, like a sample post or a day-in-the-life short story. It’s not mandatory or anything, just wondering.

I also realize it’s only been three days since the thread went up, and if I follow through with my full two weeks it’s still eleven days until the thread closes. Even though this is staying pretty active, we don’t seem to be getting much new interest. The IC is halfway through a post cycle tomorrow, which means I’m due to post again next Sunday, and if we can get all our sheets turned in by then the new recruits can jump in with the post cycle. (We’ll discuss the specifics later.)

[b]In other words, I’m making the new deadline next Sunday, June 8th at Midnight. (The 8th going into the 9th.)[/b]

Phones, you still with us?

Now I seriously need a break. x.X
