Saw your ad in the Worm chapter comments, signed up just for this. I'm currently getting a feel for the game and deciding what sort of character I'm going to play, I'll try and get a profile up sometime soon.

i apologize in advance for my attempts to dig myself a hole to china, you'll understand once you've read the thread a bit.

Thanks for all the capes and trigger events.

Neat. I'll get a character up soon.

Glad to hear it. Now to summarize some stuff I meant to put in the OP but didn't because I waited until almost midnight to start typing it.

Firstly, when I run turns. I intend to run the first tonight or tomorrow morning, with another turn every 24-30 hours. Hopefully.
Secondly, what a turn is. It's about a minute long, give or take. Each of those grid squares in the map is about...oh, two or three miles, so it would take quite a while to move about without powers. That is why Movers are so important.
Thankfully, there is a Toronto cape (a villain, but meh) who can create portals. If you really need to get somewhere, you just need to ask your bracelet.

Prepare my vials and syringes, and test whether my super coffee stacks it's effects with the blood runes.

It sure seems to. Excellent.

Delphinium... is teleported to a med-station to prepare for the casualties.

Kinetics stands at some soft of advanced evac point, waiting impatiently for when she has a reason to leave... and an excuse to kill Naga.

Name, Gender, Age: Bethany Culvers ("Pack Rat"), Female, 16

Appearance: Olive-brown skin, dark brown hair. Slightly on the short side, might still have a growth spurt ahead of her if she's lucky. Clothes kind of ripped in a "street fashion" way. Looks like the kind of punk you follow around a store.

Background: Lower middle class upbringing, interrupted by frequent arrests. She was inclined to trouble and criminal activities even before her powers kicked in. She's a kleptomaniac hoarder, which fits well with (and was probably exacerbated by) her powers.

Desired Power: Dimensional pocket that can store anything unattached/not bound to something too large. Smaller objects can be instantaneously brought out, larger objects (like cars) require time and concentration to store or retrieve. She has perfect recall of anything she stores, which can be leveraged (via association) into perfect recall of almost anything. She associates a random object with an idea and stores it. As long as it's kept, she can more easily recall the detail of that object and the associations placed on it. Think Sherlock's Memory Palace if the objects were physical and the user's memory eidetic. Her rating would probably be Striker Six, Thinker One (although the second part isn't common knowledge). She can easily steal useful equipment and sell other stuff to afford what she can't steal, so she's actually pretty well equipped with guns, grenades, and Kevlar under-armor.

Cape: Bonesetter. Healer cape whose powers are proportional to how injured his target is. The larger the injury, the more fully he can heal it. Someone with a paper cut wouldn't even notice the difference, someone heartbeats away from death would get almost completely fixed. He carries knives and sometimes deliberately injures people further so his healing will have greater effect. The trick is to get them as close as possible to death without actually killing them.

Trigger Event: Being arrested for shoplifting. She was on probation at the time and it would have resulted in incarceration, but the thought of going to juvie made her freak out and wish for a way to hide the evidence of her crime. Alternately, her parents got fed up with her latest arrest and locked her in her room, which was so filled with hoarded items that she couldn't reach the window to escape. She triggered on the third day.

This RP sounds really cool. Thanks!

"so i hear you are giving out powers by drawing patterns of blood on people, have you ever considered creating talismans instead? like making the patterns out of cloth then soaking them in blood and sewing it to the inside of an elastic sleeve, it would allow you to switch between designs faster and you wouldn't need to destroy them in order to use another power."

"hm? More or less. I was just at the hospital giving out super endurance runes. You'd be surprised how many normals want super powers. They won't get tired tending to the wounded during this fight. Which is a plus for the long run." He gives Stevens suggestion some thought. He could already switch between runes pretty fast. However, having faster reaction times would definitely help. "That doesn't sound half bad. I am thinking about changing my costume anyway. As it is right now it's kind of impractical." He paused, then recognized the rock man from somewhere but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Anyway I'm surprised word has gotten out so fast, What were your powers again?"

[Unholy_Pariah]

"it is not so surprising if you consider the fact that almost everyone here desires to be immune to nagas manton bypassing hydrokinetics and you  have the capacity to give them such an immunity."

"As for my powers, I can move through matter and use it to replace my physical form.
Although it only works on solid matter and liquids to a lesser extent, the lack of density in liquid forms causes my body to expand but it also makes it difficult to move quickly"

Spoiler:  Profile for Vlad Kedrov (click to show/hide)

Name: Vlad Kedrov
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: Tall and skinny with a mop of blond hair, curious brown eyes and a heart-shaped face. Dressed in cargos, old t-shirt and expensive trainers.
Background: His parents are second-generation immigrants who moved into Toronto after his grandmother narrowly avoided getting blamed for blowing up some expensive buildings in Russia. The family have stuck together and there are several generations of Kedrovs living in the one big house. Vlad, actually born Andrey, loves it in Canada ice hockey included but has always meant to go visit his homeland no matter how much his grandmother tells him it'd be a bad idea.

He's pretty neutral on what he'd use powers for if he got them. He'd stick up for Canada and invasions but he'd probably stick to his and his family's interests if he got the chance, though he'd help out if it was on the way.

Desired Power: Something that allows for moral flexibility.

Trigger Event: Getting hit by a car while messing around on the road. Other ideas include being shot during a store hold-up, getting crushed in a crowd panic and drowning in the sea.

Cape: Polytech - Blue outfit with a grey oni mask. Powers: total control over plastics in literal line-of-sight area, or fifty metres whichever is smaller. High resistance to poisons and viruses. Quirk: low self-esteem, unable to act on own initiative.

Could you please also provide the requested cape and trigger event?

((How about this for a trigger for a regenerator?

Generic civilian trainworker tries taking a shortcut between two train carriages as they are being stored and gets pinned between them because the lead carriage stops suddenly and/or he stumbles while trying to pass through.
So hes stuck there yelling for help but noone can hear him over the noise of the other trains and he starts freaking out, then hours later when his co-workers notice he hasnt signed out they go looking for him when they finally find him they move the train thinking hes just stuck instead of actually being crushed between them and the lactic acid buildup causes him to just split in half now that the trains not holding him together.))

I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but I'm 60-75% sure that that is biologically impossible. The last sentence, at least.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but I'm 60-75% sure that that is biologically impossible. The last sentence, at least.

And im 100% sure that it is,  events identical to this are the reason its standard procedure in Australia to call an ambulance instead of moving the carriage.
