Return of Powers

Lauren turned her chair so that she was facing the group, looking at each of them in turn. Her gaze lingered on Ireneus for a bit longer, her thoughts unreadable. "My name is Lauren." She said simply, reaching behind her back. "And until you lot start advancing your skills, that and..." She paused for a second as she pulled a knife out from behind her back. She held out her arm, rolled back her sleeve, and before anyone could react or try to stop her brought the knife down on her forearm. "This," She grunted, "Are all you get to know about me." A couple of drops of blood trailed down her arm, then all at once the bleeding stopped and the cut closed by itself. She took a rag and wiped off her arm, then the knife, and put it back. "Now that we're all cozy with each other, there are a few rules we need to set down. First of all, we'll be spending about a week crossing the Postrussian Desert, but don't think that means you get to wait to start. For today, we'll just get you familiar with the Crawler, since it'll be your home for the next week, and any other times we have to cross the Wilds. Starting tomorrow, You'll get up and get ready for the day before ten AM, at which point you'll start physical training with me. Three hours after that, We'll break for lunch, then You'll be learning several different subjects from Rhia, and when you're ready she'll be helping you learn to control your power. If necessary, we can stop the Crawler and take the lessons outside. If we do, remember that even though the Desert is one of the tamest of the Wilds, it is STILL a wild. Don't leave our sight if we go outside." She turned back to the console as they left the tunnel, the desert sun high overhead. The front view port dimmed to compensate, and Lauren spoke again. "You all have a new Control on your personal comms." As if on cue, everyone's phone gave them a notification of a successful download, "This is the control for the Crawler. The controller is universal, but the default setting on each is a different part of it. The remote can be used to control the Flowsteel that the crawler is made of. Apparently flowsteel is some kind of metal that becomes liquid when in specific magnetic field. Don't ask me how it works, I didn't invent it. Anyway unless you really need to don't change your setting from the default. I don't want to have to break up fights because someone changed someone else's 'room'" She typed a few sentences into the console in front of her and leaned back, letting the Autopilot take over.

i totally have a CS for a vampire who refuses to drink blood from an intelligent race. instead he drinks animal blood to stay alive and keeps himself from giving in to the hunger through pure force of will. he can use Healing magic, and Sun magic, although the latter hurts him.

Chevalier: A New Initiative

And now Elizabeth's terrifying ability to understand anything comes into play. Later she's going to disassemble the powder and figure out it's ingredients, followed by several (Failed) tests before she figures out that Black Powder uses a higher grade of Sulfur than normally found in nature.

Chevalier: A New Initiative

Elizabeth barely flinched when the weapon went off, instead her eyes widened like a child at a toyshop. "That's AMAZING! Obviously the powder must be the key. I assume it's combustible, like lamp oil, but at a MUCH higher rate. When it's confined, the heat expands, forcing the ball out of the tube. But what does the wadding...? Of course, it's to stop the fire from the powder from simply escaping around the ball. Ingenious! I simply MUST get this into my lab." Just then she heard the boom, and sighed. "Although I suppose that will have to wait. I'll attend to the queen myself, don't worry." And with that she nabbed another strange pouch out of a nearby soldier's hand, saying "I'll be taking that, thanks." And hurried off to talk to the queen.
