Thanks
Still a 7?

Right now there isn't much of a story to "contribute to" other than the interpersonal plots/interactions between characters. I'm certain there could be something that would involve your characters. But, very well then, your characters will just fade into the background. You're free to return at any time.I'll send you a PM, Aeron.

First, you need to calm down. There is absolutely no need to get all worked up. We're all mature here. Second, while lightning contain all of that, it does not mean it's "pure kinetic energy". It's pure electrical energy. You could make the same argument about a of thing.But, let's not continue this argument any further. I'm already tired of this shit and I don't want any arguments on my thread. What I do think we should do is change Quinn's power a bit. We can discuss any changes in PMs. There is no need to respond to Leonerdo, and vice versa.

Kinetic energy has molecules! Wow! No. Kinetic energy is nothing like other forms of energy (atoms can have kinetic energy - but we call that temperature, and operates different than what we - sorry, I mean , understand typical kinetic energy). In fact, this stills stems from your lack of understand of kinetic energy. In fact, it's a pretty metaphysical term that we use kinetic energy to explain motion and inertia. That said, take out the word "kinetic energy" and replaced it with "motion" and you have what is essentially the same idea. So, sorry to burst the bubble, but kinetic energy isn't a biological phenomenon.And nope, wrong again. Lightning is NOT pure kinetic energy, it is an electrical discharge. It is electrical energy. Saying lightning is pure kinetic energy is like saying lightning is pure motion. Which is, of course, dumb! But congratulations, you know that lightning is made of plasma and the general idea of what plasma is. Just by saying that, you contradicted the prior statement by suggesting lightning is pure kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is produced as the ionized gases that makes up the lightning heats up and strikes, and also results in .No, I definitely read. The reason it doesn't make sense is because I said the same thing back to you. So, you absorb the kinetic energy in a punch, but it still maintains its momentum and creates an impact, hitting you in the face? How would you even convert kinetic energy into plasma? What exactly is the result of that?Holy shit. Take a step back and examine how insignificant that petty detail is. Okay, whatever, the flame. The point stands. The flame is plasma. Stars have plasma and super heated gas. Entirely irrelevant to the conversation at hand. It looks like an attempt to make yourself feel better, or something, I don't even know at this rate (but, hey, speaking of petty irrelevant details - and this probably doesn't mean anything to you or anything [I just figured to mention it since you seem to enjoy doing it] - I was here long before you, or even most people given how I was in this roleplay's previous incarnation). But on a more serious note, I want to cover some details I haven't yet done here yet. I was talking to someone and this is what came out of it:They: "But in theory, you could get kinetic energy from your bloodstream moving."They: "Not a lot."Me: "If you want to absorb that, go ahead. I'll sit here, off to the side, while your brain and the rest of the body is being deprived of blood and oxygen."Me: "And then there's your heart, still pumping, and your bloodstream not moving. You'll probably even get a heart attack."They: "That is if you absorb all of it. But what about a small portion?"Me: "You'll probably suffer the same effects as super low blood pressure. Granted, the blood pressure might be the same, or even build, but a slow moving bloodstream will at least make you light headed and tired. And then you might feel tense, because if your blood pressure builds, that's applying pressure on the inside of your veins and arteries. And if your heart rate remains the same, it's working just as hard for a smaller benefit. And the blood is moving slow. So the heart might even work harder."EDIT: Woop, woop. Sorry about that Allen, didn't see ya there.

Totally. Because, you know, moving normally in a world that moves in slow motion is a skill. If I trained hard enough, I can see everything in slow motion and run really fast. Thanks. Your insight is invaluable.I want whatever it is you're smoking. Biologically producing kinetic energy? Redirected kinetic energy? Kinetic energy is energy derived from motion. It isn't the same kind of energy as electrical energy. Or heat energy. It's something else entirely and you probably shouldn't think of it as actual energy. It's motion. Motion, motion, motion, and you can not turn that into a plasma blast because it doesn't make an ounce of sense. How does plasma blasts even create black eyes? You know what plasma is? The kind of stuff electricity and fire is made of. What? What? You can't understand the state my brain is in right now. Or apparently kinetic energy. Like, what the hell is going on right now? By a count of hands, who is in high school or who graduated from high school? Because I'm about to drop down a God damn science textbook. From the '90s.

Well, what I want to know is can she absorb energy and nullify any attacks against her? Like if she was shot with a laser, or get hit with a bat, would she absorb the energy out of those attacks, and receive no damage? And personally, I think she should only absorb kinetic energy.
