A trainee could work and pellets too.

BlackSam the sheet is looking better and better

Yog, It's much too early for me to tell haha.
Raineh, Oh believe me I had no such compunctions with Phanstasm haha.

Vita, I look forward to seeing how that works out.
Raineh, I even had to change that ones name to Phantasm haha.

TheBiddz, Well if your electricity slinger uses their powers in a distinct and unique way, along with a vivid and unique character, then it should be fine. As long as their powers, skills, and biography aren't a carbon copy of Volt's. You can make two characters anyway.
((Sorry to see you go LeeRoy, you're always welcome back here if you change your mind))

Rainmaker's Team

Locust reeled back from the hit and one of his mandibles hung loosely from his insectoid face, greenish blood sliding down the chitin. He shook his head and seemed to approximate laughter in a series of high-pitched crackles. Locust spoke then and his voice was raspy and low, "Good hit. But you'll have to do better than that." Suddenly Locust spit a blob of green mucus at Blast Girl, right at her chest plate. It wasn't an extremely potent burst. The acid would eat through her armor and compromise it, possibly inflicting corrosive burns on her skin. Locust followed it up with a series of slashes at her center mass.

Pariah's victims

Magnetar held up a car in front of him just in time to have Shocker's burst of lightning blow it into a fiery husk. Shocker leveled his hand for another blow when he felt someone strike him in the neck. He pitched forward but held his ground and remained standing. Phantom suddenly experienced a mild electric shock that would stun her for several moments as her unprotected skin met the electrokinetic's neck. Shocker whirled around with his hands raised but didn't see anybody. He turned around in time to see several metal marbles fly into his face. They hit him square in the forehead and the electrokinetic fell forward into the ground and out of consciousness.

Strix's pellets caused Chrome to stagger backward and blink in confusion for a few moments. When Changeling hit him with his illusions Chrome shook his head and grimaced, "Your mind tricks don't work on me Fae. But I seem to recall your kind aren't particularly fond of iron. And seeing as how Steel is almost 100% Iron. Well..." Changeling's knives dented Chrome's steel body and his kick staggered him backwards but it became increasingly obvious that direct physical confrontation with the steel man would be fruitless. Changeling's visions were mostly ignored by the disciplined Chrome and he advanced on Changeling with his fists raised.

Adamant was rocked off her feet by the explosive pellet and Redeye began immediately melting the concrete around her with her heat vision, fusing the diamond woman's outline into the street. Bulwark was also blown away for a few feet and Bullseye knocked him out with a gas arrow, causing him to go limp and unconscious. Morph came by and used his gunk to further entrap Adamant and Bulwark, after having finished with Shocker. He moved on to Frost and Aquamarine who struggled uselessly.

Ember saw the pellets flying at her and she raised a corona of flame around her, guessing that it might try to freeze her attacks. The cryo blast and it's freezing temperatures knocked out all of her flames coating everything around her in a frosty sheen. But she was was still up. Ember blew up Charlotte's crows with a fire ball. Then she saw Charlotte and Rolling Girl standing and started firing burst after burst of flame at the pair.

Apogee burrowed underground and found the shield had a bottom. She went back up and started firing away with her heat vision. She was joined by Plasmus and Redeye with Bullseye firing incendiary arrows at the sphere. The shield flickered a few times and Bastion had to visibly strain to keep the shield held up. Extrusion's elasticity was suffering as well and his human net decreased in size and complexity as he tried to assume a simpler form. Colossus was still on the ground but would likely recover soon. It seemed Sentinel was still out for the time being.

Suddenly Strix was shot in the back by a taser. It was followed up with a series of baton strikes to the back of his head and torso. An unseen leg then swept his unsteady feet. The assault should have forced Strix to the ground. A gun clicked and an unseen voice said, "These are live rounds. Pariah told me not to take any chances with you and you know how serious he is. Stay down or get two nice new holes in your head."
Yes but your follow-up post could be construed to be somewhat belittling. I'm not asking everyone to be best friends forever, but as a group it can only benefit us all to be polite and respectful to eachother in this thread.
Can everyone take a breath and think before you post something, not add to the pile of negativity? I'm not singling anyone out but we could do to act our respective ages.
Everyone please, let's not start this business all over again. Forgive and forget, okay?
Plightz, I see you're taking inspiration from Equilibrium hehe. It's an interesting choice but it runs into the same problem of training and experience. For all practical purposes becoming a Grammaton Cleric is as difficult and intensive as becoming a master swordsman hehe. You could be a trainee with competent marksmanship but I would go with the idea of a gauntlet that helps with wind powers in addition to that. Or even a baseball bat, baton, or brass knuckles he wraps in wind to knock people senseless. When he gets more fine control he can even start throwing knives or other objects and direct them with wind currents. Everything else looks fine however. I'd like a PM with your plans and background with the mysterious Devereux, Z, and his father.

BlackSam, The sheet is looking good. The power is very interesting and seems to be a more grounded hulk-like character. Definitely more upper-tier than most of the characters but not gamebreaking.

Poly, This sheet hits all the right notes. SIxgun is accepted.
Well, I'm back. I'm not happy with how the situation turned out but the past is in the past and what's done is done, let's all try to move on past this. If anyone has a personal problem with another player I'd like them to take it to PMs instead of bogging down the OOC. But if there arises problems that affect the group as a whole feel free to bring the issue forward to me and we can have a reasoned and mature discussion that hopefully addresses everyone's grievances and puts the issue to rest in a manner that's healthy to the RP and everyone involved. I want to avoid this kind of confrontation altogether in the future as they are mostly pointless and unlikely to achieve anything besides sowing ill will. This RP is something I want to be fun for everyone and for potential future players and that leads to a satisfying conclusion unlike so many other threads. I don't want people to be chased off by petty disagreements that can be settled in a reasonable matter and neither do I want people to uselessly argue with each other and stir discontent. Any good RP should be about cooperation and collaboration. LeeRoy and others that have left the thread due to creative differences are always free to come back and I'll try my best to create a friendly and open atmosphere here for all players.

On the whole issue of realism, most of said 'realism' is meant to be from the exploration of the political, cultural, religious, and such effects of the kind of world that was created by the appearance of superpowers and magic that many settings often ignore. As for scientific realism, the thread isn't as soft on science as some universes often are but it's not meant to be wholly grounded either. One of the most important aspects of the Awakening was that it allowed for the seemingly unbreakable laws of Science to be bent but those basic laws are still there. Having magic powers still means you have to draw energy from somewhere. Having energy shields means you still have to deal with transfer or heat. Things like that. Any character has to have consistent reasoning for how their powers work. For example the NPC Sonata is an audiokinetic, that means she controls, directs, and even creates soundwaves. Meaning she can create sonic booms or sonic shrieks like Black Canary but she can control them to a point where it only affects the people she targets to any large degree. As long as your character's powers are consistent in how they work and have sufficient explanations for how they bend physics then it should be fine.

I'm probably going to have a lengthy reply post soon and we can get the ball rolling on this thread again.

EDIT: TheBiddz, please feel free to join. This thread always has room for more and for the most part it has been a fun experience.
And I'm off for outdoors adventure. See you all again Sunday.
