Between slowed perception and violin playing. I can't have both, it would be overpowered


There is nothing to choose between. Playing a violin isn't a power, its a skill. Like being able to play the piano or cook really well.

You don't have to choose between the two because your power is channeled through music. You USE your violin to activate your power. And even still, your power isn't tied to the violin. You could probably have the same effect if ur character played a piano or a flute. You could still alter perception through the music you were playing, no matter what instrument it was. Though, I suppose, u would only use the violin since thats the only instrument, as far as we know, that your character can play really well. The proficiency of your power may depend on how well you play an instrument. So it would probably be weaker in potency if u played it with an instrument u were very unfamiliar with like a trombone. lol I imagine his power works on the psionic level, psionic manipulation of the pleasure sensors in the brain that react to a pleasurable stimulus that is melodious, like music.

But the nature of certain powers have several applications. Like Telekinesis. And your power doesn't seem really OP at all so as long as you don't abuse it. If anything, its more situational. And that fact that u have to use an instrument or something that can create music as a source of power is also a limitation and further implies how un OP it is. So if someone broke your violin, u'd be fucked. :P But being able to entrance, lure, and blast them with music as I described in my last post, doesn't seem very op. As long as u dont abuse it. It should be fine.

Sorry, I probably seem like im getting worked up! LOL But I LOVE music based abilities and fighting styles and what not, so I really hope you stick wit that concept cause I LOVE it! LOL
Eh, can anyone help? I can't choose XD


Choose between what?
@Angel Eyes

Hmmm, something more support-like. He uses his violin to enrapture an audience within... A fifty foot radius? That means everyone pauses what they're doing and just listen to the music. They enter an entranced mode and are basically in an unconscious state until the song ends.

I was thinking the idea of slowed perception of reality when listening to his music which means easy use of his bokken. Hmmm... I might combine those two.


This is definitely a lovely ability. A character called Emma Coolidge had this ability on Heroes, but it was a little more advanced.





As you can see here, Emma had the ability to see sound as light. Similar to Dazzler from X-men. Using her Cello, she could not only entrance people while they were listening to her, but she could lure people to her by thinking about them as she was playing. This could be further amplified by something like a speaker, allowing her to lure a crowd of people to her. Additionally, she was able to use her ability offensively, by channeling the light produced from her cello and blasting it outward in an arc, like a concussive energy blast. Though, because a cello is a very large instrument, it wasn't something she could just use on a whim.

But in your case, a violin, this would be much easier and could be used in conjunction with eachother. Placate and lure an enemy to you and then blast them with a blast of light. Emma's light was able to create a large crack in the wall of her bedroom, so its pretty powerful. She did it by striking her cello in a very sharp movement straight across.

I would imagine your character's father often employing or rather forcing your character to use his ability to lure his enemies to a general vicinity or at least sedate them and then having them all murdered on the spot by his goons.

Though, powers that induce mind control like effects are always very iffy. It's fine to abuse it on npc type characters, but on another roleplayer, you usually have to get permission first to be allowed to control them since controlling another player's character is generally seen as a big no no. Sooooo....idk. lol Just some food for thought though I guess.
@Nosuchthing

Hmmm... He has some fetish on wearing aprons and baking cupcakes...

CUPCAKES OF POISON AND DEATH! *best metal band name*


LOL well im kinda curious what the idea u had for ur music based power. like, how was it gonna work? cause there are many variations to music/sound based abilities.
@HushedWhispers

Also, Glad to hear you are gonna be Cleopatra's big sister! Hehe! But I just noticed something. Why don't any of the families have a youngest daughter?
@Angel Eyes

That's my problem actually because Japanese men either look older than what they are or younger. So I'm deciding between the two...

I might go for Sen Mitsuji actually.


He kinda looks like Ezra Miller. lol But that face claim could definitely work as either the younger or middle brother, depending on where u place him. Though, to be honest, he looks half-asian half-white. So if he was in the montgomery or the edmund family, he could potentially be a half-sibling if like their dad had an affair with an asian woman at some point. Could be an interesting dynamic.

Edit: Cooking based power? ROFL! How would that work?
@Angel Eyes

Hmmm, he's an orphan, adopted Asian man....

Here's my face claim:



Or maybe I choose someone else... I might go for Montgomery or Edmund actually. For the Middle Son spot.


I was actually expecting him to look much younger. LOL But whatever family u decide on is fine man. But you don't wanna wait too long to decide on the family u want to join tho cause u might have to fight for that role if someone wants it as well.
@Hillan

Oh I'm doing a free spirit, marijuana loving, music playing character right now :) Not sure whether I choose the Davidson family though....


I <3 HIM already! LOL
@HushedWhispers

I was curious, but why do you have the oldest Davidson daughter crossed out? Is that gonna be your character by chance?
So @SgtEasy and @Stern Algorithm Are both going for a character with sound based powers. This should be interesting! lol
