Super Hero High: Prometheus Rising (OOC, Open)

That is just what he would want Cassie to think as he adopts an inspiring amount of subtlety for a mass-manufacturing operation.

He didn't just regret it from Cassie, though. He regretted it from her protective friends

Then I am sure he will benefit from the presence of Bramwell and Akira.

I still think Andrew running into Grace was the best thing that could ahve happened then.

Goltia would have broken something, and Josh.... Yeah.

The cleaning crew would have had a hard time scrubbing the burnt carbon off the everything.

The interior of the station is actually entirely covered in Teflon, making it largely impossible for anything to stick to it. Granted, it also makes the entire thing akin to an icy road, but that is the price you have to pay for cleanliness.

Are all the teachers allowed to use the PA (Or whatever it's called) system? I want to know so Leroy can alert all the students that left the room that the class is going to be in the simulation room.

Eh, would it not just be simpler for him to wait in the classroom and then have the class go to the simulation room from there?

Most of the students haven't left the class room, I don't think, so it seems kind of silly to walk to the class room and then back, but he might do that

They are allowed to use it if they need to.

Bit random and out of left field, but I found a picture that sorta sums up Abigale's character before everything.

Now it's more like "Come play..." "Fuck off I'm busy."

[Kershya]

Sorry for not online for awhile, I got busy with school work. Did anything significant happened?

[Altruistic Paladins]

Dang, I really need to work on the new character applications. I wrote myself into a corner with characters who did not have enough external conflict to write about and now I have written myself back into a corner since two of the new characters have very, eh, rule-heavy powers. I need to write many qualifiers for my sort of "magic superpower" in order to ensure the character does not have the Superman conundrum of many powers having too little restraint. To prevent the creation of a character who acts illogically in order to keep a plot moving despite powers to stop them or has to suffer from the Worf Effect, I have effectively come-up with plenty of qualfiers so that it comes across as:

"Yeah, she can effectively create a literal wall of fire that will momentarily shoot flames at everyone on one side of that wall, assuming that she at least rested for eight hours, has awareness that it even exists, is experienced enough to even prepare the spell in the first place, prepared that specific spell in her spell-book that day, has the necessary materials with her when she uses that spell, and is concentrated enough for the spell to even happen."

or

"Yeah, she can create a homunculus, assuming that she has eight hours a day to spend working on it for a week and is able to not do anything mentally or physically taxing for that entire week outside of that task and has a pint of her blood lying around the place and is even willing to create one in the first place since she will definitely be injured if that homunculus is destroyed."

This is ignoring even some of the major problems that most of the spells she knows right now are such things as "telekinetically lift objects up to five-pounds in weight" and is severely limited in general utility because, even if she were aware of the ability to summon an ethereal limousine, she would not be able to prepare that in the first place since she is still extremely new to being a mage and thus will spend plenty of her time having situational abilities before she will even be experienced enough to actually use anything that could be considered "threatening".

On another note, I am abandoning this one idea of a superpower which is basically a sort of glitch-based superpower in favor of a superpower that is based on reality warping that basically makes the circumstances of a situation allow all participants within that situation, friend or foe, to benefit from and be harmed by the indiscriminate addition of action-adventure tropes to a situation, ranging from ridiculously situational things such as a fire following a trail of gasoline being able to outrun a car to more general things such as "unlimited ammo", being less of an "ability" so much as it an "action-adventure" switch that basically acts a lampshade to explain odd details, such as why people who are skydiving are able to hold a conversation.

...So, your new character will have the power to tropify reality?

...Interesting.

[Orinon]

Would ahve posted today, but Nationstates shat itself for me. Will post at some point though, don't worry.

Yeah, Zhenya is a person whose powers are based upon being a knife nut, a power that exploits ambiguity in outcomes and death as an excuse to go on vacation in tropical islands train in remote parts of the world and come back whenever the bar "runs out" of vodka and orange juice for screw drivers things reach the "Empire Strikes Back" threshold, and bending the rules of reality so that everyone, regardless of superpowers, can outrun a fireball.

[Ardolf]

Still going?

Reality manipulation, even if it is a comedic variety, would not be accepted. Just letting you know.

Still going?

Yes.

[Terintania]

I keep getting the urge to make a new character....I'm not even entirely sure why.....

Would it be alright if I did? Cole could always be made in to a minor side character (Since he doesn't do much anyway) to make room for another character of mine :/

I guess a better way to describe the power is that it is a superpower that is about temporarily giving small, situational powers, such as the ability to fire a gun sideways without any decrease in ability, to people.

Would that be acceptable if the power was just about everyone within a situation getting situational powers (such as the ability to fall fifty feet and suffer no injury) and just leave out the aspects of the power that manipulate the environment?

[Terintania]

So.....I think my new student may have some slight issues with the combat/stealth/survival teacher.

[Terintania]

Name: Narain Conway
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Nationality: American
Height: 6 feet
Weight: Slightly underweight
Hair: Black
Eyes: Glowing green
Appearance:

Costume (if any):

His armor allows room for his wings to stick out the back

Abilities:
Flight: Due to being born with wings, Narain can fly.
Armor: Narain can create a layer of armor around him. This armor is strong, but not impenetrable. (see 'costume' for armor appearance)
Action Copying: Narain can replicate an action or movement after seeing it just once. Such as, if he watches a kung-foo scene on a movie, he'll be able to replicate those moves. Downside of this power is that he can only remember something for one day. The next morning his knowledge of how to do whatever he had learned will be gone.
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Narain was born with wings and glowing green eyes. His parents helped him hide this, supporting him rather then hating him for being mutated or something. At first he didn't understand why he had to hide, the ability to fly being normal to him, but as he got older, he began to understand, and kept his differences hidden. He was homeschooled, but when he did leave the house, he would wear a sort of strap halter to keep his wings in place, and wore contacts to hide his eyes. Life continued on that way until he was 14. He didn't mind having to hide, as it was just kind of part of who he was, but one day everything changed in an instant. It happened in the middle of the night, and he was using his powers to memorize some badass sword fighting moves, just to be badass for a few hours before going to sleep. Suddenly he heard a scream from his parent's room, and ran in to see his mom collapsing to the floor beside his dad, who was already dead. From the shadows on the other side of the room, he saw chilling, ice-blue eyes watching him, blood-soaked sword in hand. Narain raised his own sword, which he had been using to practice the moves he had memorized, just as the person attacked him. The fight lasted a while, Narain using his wings and newly learned sword fighting skills, and the killer using his masterful and long-practiced skills. Eventually, though, Narain's knowledge began to slip, and his fighting became sloppier as he began to forget some of the moves. He was quickly overpowered, the killer's blade slicing across his throat. He collapsed next to his parents, choking and gasping with his hand on his throat. The only thing that stopped the killer from finishing him off was the fact that the police arrived just then. A neighbor had heard his mom's scream and called the police. The last thing Narain remembers is hearing the police outside the door and seeing the killer jump out the window before he lost consciousness.
Some time later, he awoke in the hospital. His grandparents were there, and they were so relieved when he woke up, telling him he was very lucky to be alive. A while later, he went to live with his grandparents, who were fairly rich and had manged to convince the hospital not to mention anything about his wings and eyes to anyone. Due to the damage done to his throat, Narain was now unable to talk. He and his grand parents learned sign language, and life went on. Eventually Narain discovered that the man who had killed his parents was a man by the name of Leroy Talisman, and decided that he was going to try to find him and make him pay. A few years later, he decided to go to the Academy for the Empowered to improve his powers and his chances of actually being able to face Leroy when he finds him. Little did he know that there was a nasty surprise waiting for him at the school....

[Glovania]

WOW! Someone just made a winged dude just as I tried to post this. Ah well, here is my student app:

Name: Alexander Nylund
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Nationality: Swedish
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 9 st

Abilities: Wing Manifestation - the ability to have wings burst forth from or fold them into his back. These are made of very densely packed feathers that can take on metallic properties at will - meaning they can be used as a shield. Although they are tough, they are only as strong as about a centimeter of metal - they are only a centimeter thick.
Aerial Adaptation - The ability to survive in high altitudes with no impact on his body (lack of oxygen, low pressure, etc.)
Blade Construction - Alex can summon a sword to protect himself. The blade emits a faint light, about as much as a glowstick.

Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Alex is a quiet teen, who tends to keep to himself when in class, and spends most of his free time on the internet, or lying on his bed, listening to music. He grew up in Toronto, Canada, with Swedish parents who moved there before he was born. He lived most of his childhood as a regular kid, living in Toronto, until one day he simply woke up, and upon scratching his back, he realised that two wings, almost as large as him were protruding from his back. Upon realising this, he leaped from his bed, and - like any 9 year-old boy would - ran into his parents room to get them to see. But, to his dismay, the wings were gone. He eventually managed to show his parents, and they kept it a secret from the neighborhood, but Alex's cover was eventually blown when he hit a bird mid-flight. He panicked in mid-air, and began to fall out of the sky, then crashed through the roof of his neighbor's house, some three doors down. His parents were forced to enroll him to the Super-Hero High a few weeks ago, following the incident.

Aerial Adaptation - The ability to survive in high altitudes with no impact on his body (lack of oxygen, low pressure, etc.)

Brief Bio: Alex is a quiet teen, who tends to keep to himself when in class, and spends most of his free time on the internet, or lying on his bed, listening to music. He grew up in Toronto, Canada, with Swedish parents who moved there before he was born. He lived most of his childhood as a regular kid, living in Toronto, until one day he simply woke up, and upon scratching his back, he realised that two wings, almost as large as him were protruding from his back. Upon realising this, he leapt from his bed, and leaned against the door, only to see the wings lying there on the bed, detached from his back. He, like any 9 year-old boy would, ran into his parents room to get them to see. But, upon returning to the room with his confused parents, the wings emitted a bright light, causing the three to cover there eyes, and when they looked back, the wings were gone. His parents, confused by all of this, kept his powers a secret to the neighborhood for as long as they could, but Alex's cover was eventually blown when he tried to leap out of his bedroom window and fly down the street. He made it some distance, before crashing through the roof of his neighour's house, some three doors down. His parents were forced to send him to the Super-Hero High when he turned 11, and he has lived there ever since, keeping in contact with his family via Skype, and other forms of communication. Although he can stand high altitude conditions, he still requires some oxygen to breathe, and is as vulnerable to radiation as any other human, so he regrets that cannot fly out of the station to visit his parents in person.

Nice coincidence. My new character that I just posted also has wings and is in the Hero dorm.

Maybe they could be roommates, if both accepted

I also think that maybe vacuum would be a bigger problem to flying out of the station then radiation would be
