@Scarescrow
Oh. Yes your characters can draw from the broader application of power.

The Underground

one question, does the application of the power we pick also count as a power?
@The Incredible John

@Scarescrow

What do you mean exactly?

Deregulated: A space colonization roleplay

Is this still open? I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for an unconventional mining settlement.

so can you look over it to see if it is too powerful so I could change. Thank

@Scarescrow

A bit hesitant about this to be honest. Like I said, I don't want anybody totally overpowered. If you can balance out your character, I'll accept it.

I'm okay with this if you are, Cap'n GM@The Incredible John

@Tominas

As long as there's a way to actually kill your character, it's fine by me. For balance sake.

@DracoLunaris

@Instigator

Can't wait to see it.

@Queentze

Something out of the norm to say the least. Would be fantastic to have a character with smoke constructs.

Uhh... Absolute Slicing, I've never even heard of this - but it sounds kind of awesome ^^

Oh yea, a quick question: how much freedom do we have to create the lore surrounding how our characters got their ability?

@Pariah

Oh hey.

Well you're free to make up as much as you want. As long as it coincides with what's already established.

Biography: Simon Sermons was born in the city of Boston during the early 80's. Growing up, Sermons was swayed by the American dream. That he could make a fortune for himself if he worked hard enough. He always dreamed of living the yuppy lifestyle. However his father was a simple dockworker and could not support Sermons' dreams of grandeur.

Not satisfied living in a low income lifestyle, Sermons decided to take his future into his own hands. Sermons had interest in the internet when it first became popular in the early 90's. He began learning software engineering by himself. He applied for several technology companies but due to his lack of formal training and being a minor at the time, he was rejected.

Sermons instead turned to crime to achieve his dreams of wealth. First he simply scammed those more gullible and less informed about the digital world. Then Sermons' began using puppet sites to promote charities which did not at all exist. The raised funding going straight into his pockets. Sermons managed to make a comfortable living this way but he wanted more.

By May of 1999, Sermons with his associate, Anatoli Makarov, pulled off the heist of the century. They convinced several clients of the banking giant 'Maxwell and Smith', that they were company employees who needed their account information. Sermons and Makarov then opened this accounts and transferred the finances into their own accounts. Estimates conclude that the duo stole somewhere between 30 to 40 billion dollars.

Sermons was caught by the authorities some time later and was convicted of several charges. Although he was caught, he refused to return the money he stole. In what would become one of the most controversial case in America, Sermons was punished with life imprisonment at the age of 17.

Days after the infamous attacks of 9/11 and the chaos that followed, Sermons was given a choice. He would be given a complete pardon if he became an asset of the F.B.I. Sermons was quick to take the offer. He tracked down people who were and could have been sources of trouble for the country. From super powered thugs to vehement opposition of the increasingly authoritarian regime. Sermons was taught not only to read people's cyberspace footprints but also their behaviors in the real world.

After years of working with the government, Sermons disappeared on February 2, 2015. A few months prior, Sermons had been part of an operation to track down several dissenters from the regime. This members were traced to a small compound in Los Angeles prepping to leave the country. When word got out of what was happening, several local citizens formed a Human wall around the compound. The authorities tried several times to disperse the crowd but the movement only grew bigger. On the third day of this unrest, police officers open fired into the crowd after reports that they themselves were being fired upon by small arms. Apparently Sermons' took with him sensitive information that the regime are trying to recover intensively. He is now third on the F.B.I most wanted list. However the authorities of the regime still cannot find a single trace of him six years after his disappearance.
