yeah, if he can create burning oil, why wouldn't he be able to create fire as well, it would make sense


That actually doesn't necessarily follow, logically. I was under the impression that his power was the secretion of a flammable oil. While I can see your brilliant association of "oil" and "fire" they aren't actually the same thing, so you're giving your character two powers.

I hope this applies to other people as well because Linn controlling ice can become extremely powerful, seriously just research iceman from the x-men and you'll see what I'm saying, the same can go for Nathan as well, a lot of our characters have the potential to be incredible strong.


Dude.... pot calling kettle black. You are, far and away, the absolute worst offender for an OP character in this RP. One of the worst I've ever seen. Your character's power isn't necessarily OP in and of itself, it's just that every time anyone says anything about how they might fight your character you seem to think that you always have a solution, even if you have to make up new powers or remove weaknesses. You can't just say "Yeah, I guess your character could get one over on mine, let's hope they never fight!" You always have to be "Um, no, actually, Jack's power makes him better because of X." You're refusing to accept that Jack's power doesn't win every time.
Not once has anyone said something about a hypothetical fight, and you just left it or conceded that your character would come off worse. Every time you had to argue about how Jake would win.
If your character's like that... well he's an asshole, but what the fuck ever, but you don't need to do it here in OOC as well.
Oh... I actually thought it was intentional.
Bruce rolled his eyes but said nothing as Jack continued to yell about something or other. He didn't want to comment or join the argument, having been asleep when it started and therefore unaware of what it was actually about.

"Done?" Bruce asked, "Good. Does it make sense to expect an ambush? Who knows we're on this mission besides us? She can't lie in wait if she doesn't know we're coming. I guess the military grade jet doesn't help, we could have just flown commercial and tried to be covert."

Press jumped in and dumped on Jack's "burning through walls" idea. He also called him by the wrong name, which Bruce found amusing.

"Yeah," Bruce agreed, "Not too subtle. I guess nothing about you is. I wonder why that is...?"

"Do we have a plan besides 'look for people with tattoos?'"
I mentioned Titan restraining collars, but I don't know if there actually is such a thing.
I'm actually not accepting anyone else at the moment. If you like, I can send you a message when I am.
Bruce was tired and bedraggled this morning. He had his mask pulled down over his eyes, trying to catch a nap(at x3 synchronization, to get some extra time) while they were in transit. Unlike Nathan, who could be pumped full of drugs to keep his powers in check, the Overseers seemed to be at a loss for what to do about Bruce's power. They could completely turn it off with a Titan restraining collar, but that was just a bandaid for his lack of control. Instead, they opted on forcing rigorous control training on him. Though they couldn't control his synchronization, they could measure it.
He was outfitted with a watch that had both a regular, mechanical clock, and a digital one with a remote link to an atomic clock back at HQ. The digital would always show Normal Earth Time, and the mechanical clock would always show Bruce's Relative Time. There was a third display that calculated how many times NET the current BRT was. Not only was he expected to keep a steady desync level while performing difficult tasks, but they had taken to having him hold his sync at .85 while sparring. It gave Bruce a new appreciation for what it was like to fight him, but he could see a big difference from when they first started doing that to him. It was definitely honing his reflexes and physical speed.

His control over his powers was improving, but last night he had had a bad dream(nerves before his first mission) and accidentally slowed his personal time, making him tired and sleep deprived the next morning.

Some kind of commotion woke him, and he raised his hood and resynced to see Linn and the new guy about to match blows. He briefly considered getting between them(as was a habit of his whenever his teammates seemed about to fight) but Ambrose was on top of things, as usual. Bruce decided it was a bit late to be sleeping, so he pulled his mask back off of his head and rubbed his face.

"How're we going to find her?" he broke in to the conversation about the mission suddenly, "Split up?"
Yeah, but he'd be wasting fuel lowering himself to the ground. If everyone else is parachuting, he may as well too, right?
So who's the pilot in the group? Probably a Monk, but I just realized that I don't know if anyone has that skill. Or it could be that all Heroes are trained in flight.
How about Bruce just super sonic sucker punches Jack?

And that's how I let you know I'm still around. Can't post right now, but I will in like... five or six hours. Gotta go to work, but it's a half shift.
Oh, and send it in the form of a short post. So I know how your character acts when questioning.

I'll post again later tonight, so if you have a question submit it soon. Doesn't have to be elaborate. In fact, if it's too long I'm just going to cut bits out of it.
