It's something to do with chaotic systems. Those are when a small change in the initial condition makes a big change in the final result. It's not exactly random: like, for example, the double pendulum is chaotic, but everything it does makes sense and looks reasonable, you just can't calculate why. It's about that kind of predictable unpredictability.


That's a bit of an oxymoron.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, no. I don't think randomness is a great definition of chaos, anyway.


What's a good definition, then?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

The power has a lot to do with your own imagination. It usually applies random effects or transformations, but the randomness isn't from a vacuum. It's from your own mind. Adjust your subconscious and you can hone in the effects.


Is it really random then?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, yeah. But even without Harmonic Chaos, the old Lords of Chaos in my line could usually get it to go where they wanted it to. Just takes aim and focus.


How does that work?
<Snipped quote by Balance>

I can’t imagine it ever would be a great time.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

A far cry from the initial image I was given of you. Nearly had me excited.


I'm sorry to disappoint. Maybe you can find that other guy.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Not most of the time. Sometimes redirections go a bit awry, but that's what being a tank is for.


Isn't chaos unstable?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

You never know. Sometimes it happens that way. Good for you, though!

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Hah, we'll try and stamp that down real quick. Though, to be fair, I don't think we had a great time dealing with the last psychotic break here.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Yeah, so I'm safe here. *Grins*


Do yours?
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

And that’s all you’ve got as far as abilities?


As far as I can tell, anyway.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Do you need those second chances a lot?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Right. And if I ever am, I’m sure you’ll know.


I try to avoid needing them, but it's happened before.
<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Huh. Interesting. So it’s not actively bad for you, either.


Not directly, anyway. I'd figure that most peoples' abilities aren't actively harming them.
