That's bizzarre, Nein: I just got attacked by yellow jackets this afternoon too. There were a bunch buzzing around something in the tall grass, and some got in my shoe while I was walking through it to feed the horses. You know what this means, don't you? THE YELLOW JACKETS ARE LAUNCHING A FULL-SCALE ATTACK ON HUMANITY!!!! RUN! TAKE SHELTER!

Truce 07-19-2006 12:46 AM

Or, you know, maybe he sent them to you? That can be the only explanation!

mauve 07-19-2006 01:33 AM

Ecurt was brought down by his own creation??? Wow. Super Shojo Sailor Mauve is truly a danger to us all.

Truce 07-19-2006 01:35 AM

Technically, she'd be stronger than normal Mauve, as it's an addition, not a substitution, of her powers.

So, yeah, truly a danger to us all.

mauve 07-19-2006 01:50 AM

And we're all worried about a comet? Pah. Clearly we have our priorities mixed up.

Arhra 07-19-2006 08:41 AM

Newb, you miss the point. People are made of organic materials. Rocks are not. Well, mostly at least. If this transportation functions by construction of a body, you need all the right amounts of calcium, carbon, water, iron, potassium and so on.

Also, time delays aren't really that great a concern, but you do not seem to understand something about nanites. Only two or eight nanites doing something is massively ineffective. You can fit hundreds, if not thousands, of nanites on the head of a pin. It's like trying to move a mountain with a workforce of one guy armed with a spoon.

POS Industries 07-19-2006 10:52 AM

Hmm.... seems that the devil's busy making a snowman....

NAME: Pedro O'Sullivan
APPEARANCE: 5'10", 145 lbs, long brown hair, pale skin, hazel eyes, and typically dressed in black and grey business attire and a long black overcoat.
POWERS: A vast fortune, remarkable intellectual and strategic talents, extreme sociopathy with tendancy for sadistic violence, the full resources of POS Industries Int'l (a vast corporate conglomerate which, after the events of the last RP, owns about half of NPF City in one way, shape, or form as well as the entirety of Gaia Online), adept training in classical fencing, about ninety some-odd extra lives, the use of a magical ring imbued with the Power of Heart, and the ability to transform into a persona called "Negative Kamen".

NAME: Negative Kamen
APPEARANCE: 5'10", 145 lbs, long white hair, pale skin, glowing red eyes, and garbed in a beautifully tailored black tuxedo, cape, top hat, and a dark grey metallic mask.
POWERS: Everything about Pedro O'Sullivan that we all can't help but love, along with relatively enhanced strength, speed, and agility, the ability to manipulate and give physical form to the shadows of himself and those around him, and short distance line-of-sight portal creation. He also has the ability to summon an ultimate attack if necessary, the Negative Heart Crusher, which channels all the darkness in his soul into a concentrated mass-destructive attack. It should be noted that, as a side-effect involved with the use of this ability, all of the darkness in Pedro's own heart is temporarily washed away and so he prefers only to use it as a desperation maneuver.

PyrosNine 07-19-2006 03:29 PM

Heh..overslept this morning and my mom called home frantically to see if I was dead or something... Oh wells.

Either way I'm back and I'm back for good! FOREVER!

Bailey 07-19-2006 06:37 PM

This is starting to look like an argument I saw once in which one person was trying to light something on the other side of a wall on fire and the other person was saying that they couldn't because "fire spells don't work like that"

When I said they manipulate matter, I really meant that they manipulate matter. They can change atoms into different atoms easy. The problem is that when the density is vastly different, that's a bad plan.

This couldn't be used to just change the air, but only because teleporting into the middle of a vacuum is a bad idea for continued survival.




And I understand what you were saying about abusability, but that's why Mother is there. Mother stops me from doing anything truly gamebreaking, and if I go too far by accident, there's a built in safety in my abilities right there in Mother suddenly saying "Action restricted. Unable to comply."



I understand that you need to exert and maintain control, and I respect your desire to do so, but I've left a handy control right in the bio.

Arhra 07-19-2006 11:47 PM

Newb, your so called control practically screams 'will be bypassed at some point'. Seeing how these nanites are not operating on anything even remotely approaching a scientific level, they will not be granted some of the advantages possible with 'real' nanites.

I will declare the following (some of these are already stated, but just making them clear) to keep them operating to their intention:
-The nanites are unable to replicate on their own.
-The nanites are unable to operate for extended periods of time away from their power source
-A group of nanites below a certain size is unable to operate (this size being something smaller than a speck of dust).
-The teleportation ability requires significant numbers of nanites on both sides and requires some time for disassembly and reassembly.
-Any matter manipulation must follow equivalent exchange and is generally energy intensive and slow, depending on the extent of manipulation. For example, simply doing something like reshaping a metal item is fairly easy, whereas something like condensing gold out of air would take absolutely forever (years?) and heaps of energy.

Now, I think that's everything. Is this acceptable Newb?

Premonitions, I am giving you your one and only warning. Any further godmodding like that last post and you will be removed from the RP.

que? You're going to have to Help me out here. and. since the story has'nt exactly taken off yet, If I was god-modding, It would'nt have much signifigance. I have'nt done anything outside my character's abilities.

You controlled TB's character. HE may've been able to dodge, or block before you did the time freeze and after. Did you note that or did you just continue on by saying "I never got to do that." ?

Bailey 07-20-2006 06:09 AM

Yes, those restraints are acceptable.

Arhra 07-20-2006 10:12 AM

Premonitions, it essentially comes down to two cases of completely ignoring effects, something I was feeling lenient on the first time given the circumstances and the godmoddiness of that attack.

While the TK itself is not the problem, its the way you went about it. Using that ability in such a way is abusive since how can anyone defeat you if you can just freeze them and stab them in the head? Given it was called an 'inappropriate dramatic pause' I allowed it upon the assumption it would more be used for humour and possibly as a last ditch defense/attack.

Additionally, it was out of balance power-wise because of the ease with which this was accomplished. Slicing someone into chunks faster than they can see and then kicking them once they look startled does not suggest much parity in power.

Finally, you declared the effect of your attack, it's a fine line to walk when writing acitons but generally one should at least leave the exact extent of the damage to the other person.

Toastburner B 07-20-2006 08:51 PM

...It seems I died again...I guess I better go read the thread.


[EDIT]I'll let it slide this time...but I express the desire to counter-attack...within the rules, of course.

Anyways...dice roll leads me to my Professor Form.

Super human abilities-stronger ,faster, more agile than average human, comparable to spider-man's super strength
yeah, him dodging a superfast slash is not very likely. thing is, most people who don't specifically state their physical abilities think they can pull of shit witha batmanesque creative liscense. I on the other hand, pull off this same shit but within parameters that have already been stated. But rest assured, if my past actions are any example, then I wont be that much of a nusiance, just defending my case.
Edit: me ignoring the "effects" of an average strength human being on my super-humanly strong form? Hell, If you go up and punch freakin BEAST in the gut, you're more likely to break your wrist than actually do damage. I can actually lift a midsize car , but it will not come into gameplay much, since there are others more predisposed to chucking cars on the team. But your attack would'nt have done much, if any actual damage.

Arhra 07-21-2006 08:33 AM

This kind of mindset can lead to godmodding quite easily in my opinion. 'Faster than the average human' does not translate to 'ZOMG! I slash so fast yous can't see me lol'. A conceit in the overwhelming superiority of one's own abilities to others is what it comes down to.

Additionally, I see no mention of superhuman toughness and it was not average human strength. Also, enhanced toughness does not mean virtual invulnerability, it just means more of an ability to take a beating and keep going. I might add that as an ability, near invulnerability is something I would tend to frown on, depending on how well it was handled. Thus, your argument there is from incorrect information.

PhoenixFlame 07-21-2006 10:08 AM

And it's not just toastburner, either. Those of us disliking people randomly teamkilling others for no better reason than "Oh! Oh! It's my turn!" could very easily draw excessively large ranged weapons with our own eye-untracable speeds.

Because rest assured, the only reason Phoenix didn't shoot you was because it'd have been too late to matter.

Flarecobra 07-21-2006 10:13 AM

I agree. That's something that you won't see me do.

Fenris 07-21-2006 11:42 AM

Me neither. I wouldn't even throw him if he was in his Prinny form, unless he asked me to.

I hope to god I don't get teamkilled in this game, because if that happens, I don't come back. I'd just say something along the lines of "Oops, I'm dead!" and not post again unless revived by one of the dieties or by a magic caster or somethin'.

Flarecobra 07-21-2006 12:17 PM

And as I've said before, I think I'm the only one with White Magic.....

And if I get TK'ed, expect Phoenixey wraith upon my killer.

Uh, do such spells as "Cure Critic" and "Heal" count as white magic? 'Cause if they don't, yeah, you seem to be the only with White Magic.

PhoenixFlame 07-21-2006 12:29 PM

And while Flare is the only one with white magic, that is not the only way to survive mortal wounds. After all, one could be raised as a member of the undead scourge with-...

Alright. Alright. Have Flare heal you. ((Or Skyshot!))

Raiden 07-21-2006 12:57 PM

Screw that. If I die, I'm either:

A) Gonna get revived at the God's Pantheon.
B) Have Mes resurrect me through my soul gem.
C) Have Raiden Jr. remake his father with his memories.
D) Have Phoenix bite me before I go, making me the god of Thunder, Nachos, and Vampire stuff!

*glee*

Flarecobra 07-21-2006 02:56 PM

Sorry Skyshot, didn't see you signed up.


Make that me and Skyshot.

Bailey 07-22-2006 07:00 AM

And, to a (much) lesser extent, myself.

If I feel like sparing the time and energy, I could heal you with my nannites, but as has just been established, this would take quite a bit of power (I'm going to assume an amount based on that required to teleport the same person).

So only expect me to heal you if I get a decent power source.

The only person I'm healing off of the sun is myself.

Mesden 07-22-2006 07:03 AM

Something called a thread limit and another discussion, Newb.
