Nah it's not instinctive. It's more watch and learn or trial and error, so obviously teaming up with someone he knows will be ideal. However if not it's pretty much trial and error. Some abilities are obviously simpler (Such as a speedster can run fast) than others, and they'll be the ones he tries to mimic. Essentially if four villains, and three heroes + him meet in a street and clash the only advantage he'd give the heroes is that he can change his ability depending on the situation.

@Sep

Indeed, at least until he gets stronger and possibly increases his slot ability. Though one question, is there any limitations or exceptions he can't copy? I know Might has the ability to mimic physical attributes of others but only natural occurring, that counts out abilities gained by machines and I think magical abilities (the description made it a bit hard to understand what was defined as not being able to mimic). Likewise, yours would be the opposite which makes me wonder if there's any limits similar to that or not.

However, I do look forward to meeting him when you get him done. ^-^

You're forgetting the fact that insects exist, as do other supers. Besides you forget heroes do exist that have no powers what so ever, though I was thinking of giving him his own small healing factor anyway if that makes you feel better.

@Sep

True, but have you ever tried to find them when you're actually looking for them (they aren't exactly easily to find)? And also consider the landscape, city scenes are much harder to find them in than country side. The supers I admit, I forgot because I was more focused on the animal aspect. When absorbing a super's ability, how are you planning on doing that? Is it going to be a more linear version or almost exactly the same? Does he instinctively know how to use them and do the abilities have to be naturally existing? I'm only asking questions because honestly, I'm curious, especially if Rach and this PC might ever cross paths.

No need, I've done a char like thsi before. Also yes, he can't hold onto more than one ability at a time (currently, as I said he might be able to get better in time).

@Sep

The way you made it sound he would lose it if he didn't continually think about it. Which is a great weakness, but in my mind a bit too great since you would need to find a convenient animal every time you went super or needed to protect yourself. Something that can become tedious after a while and even frustrating, unless you got a way to summon one without a cost to you, when you can't plausibility come up with a reason an animal would be there. I mean usually when there's a high power scrape, most creatures are smart enough to skid-dale away before they get crushed. At least the smart ones are. :p

Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

For the most part, Lyn's Hunt was a mission success and all that's left is clean up really. ^-^

Ah, I had a feeling there was something in regards to swearing, probably should have just looked back to be honest. Still, I was hoping it might be somewhat flexible in regards to dialogue, having perfectly formal criminals is always a little jarring.

Also, good to know my intro can be in the past, otherwise I can't really see the whole 'club intro' being so ordinary with the threat of impending meta-human annihilation over everyone's shoulders.

@MelonHead

There's actually ways/loopholes around that if you're willing. Sometimes just mentioning they cursed, or stated a four letter words, use symbols instead of the actual word, etc. can still fit in the realm of reality, and still keep in the rules. I do it a few times myself since Rach can be rather foul mouth when she's angry.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

@Dedonus can read my mind Fallen, didn't you know that?

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

More like Rogue but without the excess stuff. Able to mimic certain attributes of animals via physical contact (Spiders relative strength for example), or if in contact with another Super he can gain a random power to borrow. Though obviously depending on the power it could prove difficult for him to use, and he can only hold onto said power with a conscious effort (knocked out = byebye ability) and for so long as it will be tiring. Obviously as time goes on he may gain the ability to take on more than one ability or hold it for longer.

@Sep

Could also be that when he absorbs another ability, he loses his old one? In addition this reminds me of something I considered and I can pm it to you to see if you can borrow aspects since I'm not likely to develop it. It could give you ideas after all. As for him reading your mind, I'm not so talented sadly! :P

Thanks for posting Fallen.

I was wanting to ask @Dedonus how he feels about Mimics?

@Sep

Welcome, and might help if you define the mimic you're aiming at. There's usually two types in my mind: those who mimic powers/skills and those who mimic appearance.

After looking at that timeline it might be best if Lekh's intro was sometime in the last two months and he's been essentially laying low since then, so I have some time to accommodate for all the craziness kicking off. Also let me know what you think of this character, if there's any problems or whatever. I've read over the OP a few times but I might have missed something. (There's no issues with swearing is there? I do tend to use a pretty course vocab with most characters)

@MelonHead

As long as you're not swearing every other word, which honestly Rach would if there wasn't, then swearing frequently should be alright. I know Rach usually has about 4-6 swear words because she's always irked about something.

Well there's the Red Reaper but my guy was just The Reaper.

I will probably resubmit and remove the other form he used to have.

---

I'm going to make soemthing new anyway.

@Sep

Alright. Currently, unless he knew Rach before she came to Lost Haven, or worked in the CDC, I'm afraid I can't provide much of a connection for the present though. Also, some stuff to help you and @MelonHead out some.

Our timelines right now in visual form:

@NeutralNexus

The best visual description of the current time line I've yet to see, provided by our wonderful NeutralNexus.

So the time line is:
- Demon Invasion (1 month ago)
- Cowl's Riots ( 1 week + a couple days ago)
- Umrbaxis Fight (2 days after Cowl's Riots)
- Pax Metahumana kick off with tv announcements (~36-48 hours ago)
- Pacis Metahumanae domes form in key cities (a couple hours - 4 max)

@Dedonus

And the more neatly written version by our awesome Co-GM Dedonus.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Cool, cheers.

@MelonHead

Welcome, can't wait to see what you come up. Though if you make a villain, NeutralNexus might just smirk with delight as well as there's numerous connections possible with the current listings.

Gee thanks Fallen.

My real question is, should I re-apply or use my old sheet?

@Sep

I think you might need to resubmit your character as I think the name and color was reused by something else.

<Snipped quote by Fallenreaper>

Me considering returning. WHATS IT TO YOU?!

@Sep

Oh, Sep? Well, there goes the Thread's Sanity ratings.
