@Famotill Hey, do you think you could update the list of accepted BPAP members? If not, or you're working on it, then ok.

Titans of Earth

@Gisk If that's true, then wouldn't that mean that once then "threshold" is reached, they can't be deprived of energy anymore? Since bullets would still have a fair amount of speed, they'd still be fast enough to leave some sort of mark on him if the bullets landed.

Titans of Earth

@DeadBeatWalking How is a sword or a fist different from a bullet when absorbing kinetic energy?
Also, nothing slower than a tain or car can be absorbed? How does that even make sense? Fast things can be deprived of energy, but slow things can't?

Titans of Earth

I will assume by your words that Press is accepted. Also, Press is paranoid. Sure Press might not need Horus, but he'll always keep him around.

Meanwhile, what should I do with the Artist posts I made? Should I just replace them with posts about Press?

Titans of Earth

A robotic enemy would probably have its own security systems to prevent it from getting hacked, at least easily. I highly doubt anyone who creates automatons would allow such a thing, and would definitely place security programs to keep their inventions from being used in the wrong hands. As for cybernetic parts... well, people are going to have weaknesses somewhere. I'd say it really depends to the extent that the person who has the cybernetic parts can control them, so maybe Press has limited control, like enough to hinder their movements. As for his hacking, let's say it's pretty weak at the moment and he can only enhance other hacking programs. That way, Press can't just go to any old computer and suck all the info out of it using his mind alone. Also, keep in mind that his armor is still in beta, so it still has bugs to work out. And Horus and Press have a history together, so I'd doubt they'd be separating anytime soon. After all, life as an inventor can be lonely, and he'll need some form of companionship. As for surveillence, well, he is paranoid, and so its his backup plan.

As for your new character, do what you want. It's your idea (maybe inspired by mine, but yours all the same), so yeah.

Titans of Earth

Alias: Engineer (Engie for short)
Secret ID Nickname(s): Press Dalton
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Brown hair in a bowl-cut-like fashion, brown eyes, black shirt, black leggings, black shoes, rather pale skin as a result of not going outside often.
General Personality: Easily irritated, shy, paranoid.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Powers/Abilities: Able to control any electrical machine with his mind (ranges from a robot the size of Optimus Prime to the coding a computer relies on). Also able to create a variety of machines and gadgets which are still well ahead of the normal developmental schedule (I'd say high IQ, but this only applies to machines. Maybe like his body knows how to create the machine before his mind does).
Weaknesses: Any machine Press controls must be in a 1-mile radius. Any machine Press tries to control must have at least 1 working power source. Press is only as physically powerful as any other normal human can be. If Press is incapacitated, then any machine he was currently controlling (w/ his mind, of course) will cease to function (though it may still be turned on). Sometimes a machine Press creates will fail to function as intended (either functions differently or not at all). If any machines require an encryption to break, or other similar safeguard, Press must break it before he can gain complete access to it (which he is capable of doing with his mind, perhaps even enhance other encryption-breaking programs and such using his mind).
Weapon(s): Suit of armor (still in beta) created from the best materials Press could get his hands on. Metal gauntlets for strong strikes with his arms, energy blaster in right gauntlet, mini rocket launcher (6 shots only) in left. Helmet of armor has a screen showing HD pictures of what is outside (works like a regular clear glass visor, but better), as well as multiple filters and sensors, too many to list. Jetpack for obvious intentions. Hammer (nothing fancy, just a regular hammer). Mini-storage cube (perhaps 2.5 in., height, width, and length) containing a variety of gadgets and other works in progress (encrypted controls so that only Press can access it). Automaton falcon named Horus, designed mainly for surveillence, but also for companionship.

@Fanotill Do whatever you want with Artist, I am done with him.

Titans of Earth

Well, here's how it went. I made a 2/3 coin toss, heads meaning I keep Artist and tails meaning I delete him. I got 1 head and 2 tails. So now I can either create a new character or I can use Michelle.

Famotill, you are the GM, so you should probably have some say in this. I am fine with either using Michelle, or creating a new character, which I actually have a few ideas for. If you think that I should make the decision then ok.

Titans of Earth

On the one hand, I have human genes telling me to take the easy way out and delete Artist. On the other hand, I have you guys trying to convince me to keep Artist, which is equally powerful. There is only one way to settle this: coin toss. I'll be back shortly.

Titans of Earth

If I had realized just how many problems I'd have with Artist, I probably would have given up on him and moved on with Michelle. Wonder if it's not too late to back down now...

Titans of Earth

Well, it sounds good, I'll grant it that, but then how do I explain why I carry a notepad? Hmmm... maybe there could be a slight compromise for the drawing-to-scale part, where since the drawing is smaller, enlarging it takes more energy (thus shortening the time frame), or makes it weaker than if it were drawn to scale.
