Perhaps Jeff could be going to her regularly to find out when the next super will be attacked, and try to get ahead of the crusaders. Just a thought.

That could be an idea, altough I don't think she'll be able to pinpoint it with great detail. She is limited to what the cards will show her and while she uses her clairvoyance to get more accurate results it is dangerous to rely on them. The future is a lot like water and can't really be pinned down. Also she isn't yet able to gaze into the past or future using her clairvoyance, which is why she continues to use her cards. It's iffy but we can always give it a shot, it's better than knowing nothing.

not to stir up a discussion, I just wanted to reply to this bit

ALSO just so you know I just wanted to get this off my chest, nothing in here is meant to be disrespectful, insulting or verbal assault
just stating what is in my mind on the situation at hand
for all those I am bothering or feel anything unpleasant from this post
I give you my sincere apologies

The character (drake) is most definitely overpowered. The CS says he only has one real power, but then goes on and on about his different powers. Shapeshifting into a dragon, accelerated healing, fire, lightning, etc. It's just way too much, especially when you compare it to the rest of the player chars who have very simple abilities. Second, the only REAL downside to all his power is that he must remain emotionless, which I can understand your reasoning behind but it makes for a really boring character to interact with.


the megamorph is the source of his other powers, I can understand how you may think its too much but that is only looking at it from a simple sight
and someone who can absorb the crusaders (admitted I have not read the powers description my self) is not in my mind something simple and likely even more powerful then Drake in his human shape
then the statement of only real downside

I feel you have not read all the details about his limits on how he can never use the megamorph cause he cannot risk hurting others, so if you slim it down to the base power, which he cannot use, then he really has no powers left
and I have made sure to give each and every power multiple weaknesses, healing can be overloaded, and against robots that are said to be nearly indestructible I doubt his healing will stand up to them for a long time
his fire and electric attacks also dont pose much of a force in general, let alone the other weaknesses they possess
and also for the skeleton change, that is the same as the megamorph, its pretty much only for the beast which I dont plan to release all that often to nearly never if I can help it, so that wont ever be used to begin with
so he has multiple powers, he cant walk on the street due to his appearence and his only 2 attacking ones are not even that strong, a electric knockback that can only be usefull when charged up which is hard to do in fight or some simple flames that can easily be avoided

and just because someone has to suppress his emotions wont mean he cant interact with others normally, he still has them its just he cant enjoy or allow himself to feel it

when you take away his 2 danger powers, your let with 4 things, weak flames, weak electrical, healing which can be overwhelmed and a physical mutation

but this is just me wanting to state this cause this was more about Blade then Drake so you returned to something which was already discussed and over
its not an attack or retaliation, sorry if I offended you
just had to get this of my chest

anyway Drake is off the charts already, they all are
Drake went first cause I tried to remove the most powerful potential one in all your eyes and go with Blade's family
but as there were issues with Blade and my writing it lacks point to join the rp now
even if I were to make someone else the writing issue would break all uses

plus while I have a lot of mutants made, most are villains and the few good guys, well seeing the level here, not that I follow that level anymore
I can write off Drasuul
Seline is the same type as Seras
Danyou is 8, so without Drake or Blade he will be too young
Chii is even worse cause she is 6 and not someone who understands risks, so yeah again Blade or Drake are needed
but Chii is likely also OP for you guys, not that her power is that special, it possess two traits that while worthless to the crusaders would still be seen as a issue I guess
the rest I have are nothing more then simple NPC's I made for CoM

well there is one, but aside that I already am using him in an PM rp
he would likely also be seen as OP
to which I have to say, glad no one from here is working for marvel, cause aside Drake, most of these are at villain or main cast marvel level or weaker
hell Drake is likely the weakest Omega known

that was btw not meant as an insult, just a remark at the difference in level you have compared to mine when regarding powers

@Drake BakuIf you don't mind me saying so, I might have another way for you to look at things.


thanks for trying to help
you did gave me a little flaw with the aura power
the one Blade uses from his original setting is one that once he hardens it, it will become visible
failed to have mentioned that

anyway as I said I based Blade off myself in many things
the electric power, once it runs out he would have had the aura power as a replacement and with so few sources of electricity it would have been limited even more
so with that I dont even see why its such a problem to start with

but I made him as this so if I were to change his powers so drastically It wuld be easier to make a new char to begin with, cause these powers and his name were linked to the sword, if the powers were to change the entire name and sword use would become a different story al together, same with his background cause without the powers as they were he wont be able to enter the coty with his family

basically i would have to work an a new allias, see how to work with the weapons and possible change his skills and create a new background for a large bit, possible even a complete new background if you consider what is meant at the top about how he has been threaded, cause with his age and the time the city has been closed off, chances are he has had all that crap in this city meaning he wont even trust anyone
which means his personality has to change

sorry for being all whiny about it, is that the right word?
but yeah I make a character as a whole, so while there is space to change some small stuff, changing anything of the important stuff would break the picture

If that's how you feel, and aren't really willing to change anything. I don't see how I can help you. If you want advice how to build a well balanced character for this type of setting, (as you said this isn't a Marvel Comic), I'd be willing to help. Just PM me. Other than that, I don't think I have anything more to add.


Also, so far Piper only knows Naomi and maybe Jack through the Fixers. :) It's quite possible that everyone might know of the Fixers and is somehow tied to her through that way. I would not be adversed to that.

I think it would be cool if they are secret. Helping out without asking for the praise. Plus it helps keep them out of harms way.

When I said "know of", it's just that. Rumor of the Fixers. Need something and for the right price. But no one (but the Fixers) know who the members are. (Kind of, since the members also hide from each other)

I think wendy would probably keep mostly to the hq as she doesn't really have any combative powers, so that limits who she would form a relationship with. however, I am willing to work with someone who has a character who isn't technically part of the resistance to create some sort of backstory if they wanted to

I was wondering if you were gonna post anything or just lurk around ;)
Just ignore the accidental "like" to your post. I was on my phone and attempting to scroll.
I've got a question about her power though. How durable are the barriers? How much force would it/they be able to block?

@everyone that replied about my chars

no one answered about the possibilities of blades child if those would have been accessible at all
if the writing issue can be ignored and I only play with him
lets say he was separate from his parents
ok he is 8 but seeing the hq matters and his intelect and abilities I don't think he is op being much weaker compared to blade and drake whike still able to dish out a punch if he needs to

so yeah he can go on missions even though he is so young

if its you guys agree with his powers and able to ignore the writing matters (count ot off for how often they say genius people are socially and in regard to doing stuff different from others XD)

@The Mad Hatter
Hmm, I barely passed physics, so I didn't think about it too much. I was planning on just going with what felt balanced.

Going by her backstory as it is now, though, they can block smaller caliber bullets and shrapnel head on, so it takes a pretty high amount of pressure to break through. It's worth mentioning that she could also angle her barriers, to deflect things instead of trying to outright stop them.

The actual durability of a barrier is not very high. Once it blocks an attack or two, even weaker ones, it'll start to 'crack' and lose its integrity. Right now, I see the character creating one shield for one specific attack against her, and then it either shattering or her dispelling it immediately before creating a new one. The idea is that it's more of a finesse-based and reactionary power.

If that seems like too much, I can easily tone some things down.

@Drake Baku
I didn't realize that you were asking whether or not you could play as Blade's son.

I don't think the matters of your writing capabilities can be ignored, to be honest. I realize this more and more the more you write; I have a very hard time understanding what you are trying to say. I understand the words just fine, but I cannot seem to figure out what you mean with the sentences you write. Even if you are better at writing IC posts (in which case I think you should try just as hard when you write OOC posts), I don't think I can just readily accept you, because I'm not sure I would be able to understand waht you write.

So, even though I hate doing this and really did want things to turn out better fro all parties involved, I think I have to reject you; not your characters, but you as a player.
I'm really sorry about this, but I think you'd have an easier and better time with someone that matches your own writing level better.

@XLegs
I was mostly asking out of curiousity and to make sure she couldn't withstand, like, nuclear explosions in her face with them.
She's accepted.

So first it was possible to ignore it when it was just with Drake
and now due to one person commenting on it, its all over....

well guess that closes this matter then....

Now I want a character that can withstand a nuke to the face. That's brilliant!

That could be done rather easily without being OP I would think. But I'm not going to do such.

I think the ability to take a nuke to the face is pretty OP. Unless that's all the character can do, and is still killed by the ensuing radiation... Which would make it the most impractical power ever.
