The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story (Rebooted!)

<Snipped quote by Isaac>

I'm going to be putting my foot down here; in general, while time powers aren't foreign to Worm as a setting, they are typically aggravating to work around in a lot of ways. Not to mention how you've compared it to Eri, who has undeniably one of the craziest abilities I've ever seen, and at the very least, she has the limitation of being a literal child, alongside it needing time to stock power, and her having effectively no control over it.

So, yeah, I'll be saying no to an ability like that. I feel it would be unfun for other players to work around, and irritating for me to try and work through with my antagonistic forces. Apologies here, but I really just want this chain of complaints to come to an end.

@Mintz

What if I did that then? What if I gave him no control over it? Eri's being a child doesn't really do anything given that her powers would work the same as an adult as a kid if given no training. Also, she has been seen controlling her power, such as during the fight with Overhaul, I believe. I can also impose some kind of stocking limitation like that.

I'm just curious. What are you worried about with Time powers? From what I can see, you are worried about powers that go back in or loop time, as that would be really annoying and logistically impossible, and my power does neither of those things, so what's the issue? Not to mention I have practically no use against people that can negate or directly counter Time Manipulation with their own powers.

Type 1 Immortality (I'm sure it's a power somewhere) also makes my ability basically useless.

I think I get it but honestly, pal, you sorta stacked the deck against yourself with your idea of an introduction.

I think his power is meant to be more like: if someone got hurt, he could reverse time to heal them. He might also be able to age someone, potentially to dust.

P.S. Still working on my WIP, just waiting to hear back from Mintz.

@RBYDark

I get that. I'm sorry for what I said. It was not warranted nor needed. Hopefully you guys forgive me one day. On the bright side, You actually got it right. I could imagine someone who can actually reverse situations to an earlier point would be a PAIN to deal with logistically, which is why I made a character that cannot do that.

World of Light

@Lugubrious It doesn't just have to be me though if you want the extra xp!

@Isaac

That is literally even more of a no then what I was describing as it falls back on rule three and still is unenjoyable for players.

@Akayaofthemoon

I think you need to fully explain your definition of Godmodding, since all it says in rule three is to make it so nobody is super perfect and dodges all attacks and thinks things all the way through. My character will not be that. My character is not a god. It's a time power. So what? So many characters within the world of Worm have time powers. I don't get the difference between theirs and mine. I obviously don't have enough weaknesses yet, but I can add more.

Alright, what I mean by re-write is this.

Person runs forward, gets touched, person now has to go back to where they were before (assuming that the power would be limited to say a minute or couple of minutes).

As a writer, I would have to redo a post to put myself back where I was to continue forward while losing a few minutes of what is happening around me.

Not only would that be an unnecessary challenge to write but also is highly annoying. Minus all the other ways it could be abused without certain drawbacks. It is still not enjoyable for others to have to deal with. Also, it only being a touch, you can touch a whole lot of things in a small amount of time. There would have to be way more limits.

All and all, it would be a struggle to set all the limits and parameters but I also feel like it would not be a positive for all other players involved.

Obviously, Mintz has final say but I am telling you, the power is a no for me.

@Akayaofthemoon

You misunderstand. My power does not move someone back or forward in time. It only moves someone's physical form forward or backward in time. It works like this: Take Eri's Quirk, Rewind:

Rewind gives the user the ability to reverse a living being's body back to a previous state.

then, add the ability to do that essentially forward in time.

There is no time reversal like the type you describe.

It's only living objects so I guess that does kinda still include grass and stuff. Hmm. That's tricky. What do you mean by rewrite? He can't change things that have already happened. Villains can still kill superheroes and he can't stop that. He alters time, but it's not like time travel. He can't physically go back to the past to change things, his powers can only target one complete thing, size doesnt matter. So, if he were to touch the grass on the earth all that would be affected is one blade of grass, Maybe it would become so old it would naturally die, but everything else would be fine. However, if he were to touch a tree the roots, leaves, and branches would be affected. His powers aren't all that...well, powerful, under the right circumstances. He's good for recon and brainwashing/mind control reversal, and...Oh, I think I get why you're worried. Don't worry, i'll find some way to word it so that he can't take away powers among other things.

The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story (Rebooted!)

Fair warning, this can change if you want it to, but barely alive is alive enough for his powers to function, so if ya want to kill someone when he's around, you really have to kill them dead.

@Isaac

I don’t know what Mintz reaction will be but I can certainly say for myself that I would be very against time altering powers. It again, can usually fall under rule three of godmodding for obvious reasons (such as abusing it in every situation as one example). Also, no one wants to play the freeze game or re-write a scene again with a different outcome. The machines needed for writing the power would probably get annoying for other players.

@Akayaofthemoon

No, it's not altering timelines or changing events, just the flow of time for people he touches. Eri can't change timelines with her time powers, she can only reverse time for objects or people. His powers cannot extend farther than reversing or speeding up time on touch for anything living. That means buildings cannot be affected, he's not capable of reversing the earth to it's beginning, he actually has to touch things, so anything intangible cannot be changed. Also, I'm specifying that living thing, so he can't actually revive the dead by reversing time, as only those who are alive can be affected by his powers. There are a lot of weaknesses and he is in no way a god.

Assuming it were allowed:
Striker would be the core rating, since the power requires touch to even do anything.
Secondary rating would be Trump, since technically, this sounds like it can grant effective superspeed. Power-granting is Trump.
Assuming by "reverse time", you mean it displaces them back to a position/state along their own personal timeline without actually reversing time as a whole, then yes, it might provoke a Mover rating as well, especially in a personal capacity. Rating number/intensity would depend on how far back the PC could rewind.
As far as can be told, there's no specific combination of power ratings that never end up together. There's some unlikely/uncommon combos, but having a classification in one power type doesn't necessarily preclude having another.
There also might be a Brute rating for the effective self-healing it sounds like this would do.

So, in summary: Striker/Mover/Brute/Trump, possibly with a small side of Breaker.

@Lewascan2

No, it's time reversal like Eri's from MHA. Also, the Shards just....wow, they sound like Stand names. I can just imagine a JoJo/Worm collab: "Go, Killer Queen's Administrator!"

(I'm sorry me will be serious now ;-;)

The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story (Rebooted!)

Got it. I understand now. What would a person that can reverse time for people on touch and that has a ability to increase or slow down the speed of himself and others be classified? Master/Mover/Striker? Are there any combinations that cannot happen? Also, this series is cool. Also, Scion was a god....kinda, and he seemed like a guy with depth. First one I've ever seen really, but I watch anime, so maybe my scope is a bit narrow.
