All good points.

Then I suppose that my final point of contention is, what the hell is someone with anywhere near this level of power doing in a moderately sized town?  Karma's power would make the most sense either in a large city or doing charity work coordinating rebuilding after disaster events.
Probably have a vested interest in the place.

I view it as likely that either they have moral issues regarding controlling people in that manner, and are useless against the really dangerous people (Sundancer, for example) without getting a lot of civilians hurt; they aren't altruistic like everyone thinks heroes are, are doing it for their own satisfaction and don't want to move; or they just have something that keeps them here, whether it be knowledge of a danger they're in the best position to stop and think it's best they remain there, or someone like Echidna they need to keep under control.

Oh, and, uhhh, could we get some knowledge of what our powers are gonna be in advance of the trigger event? It'll help to keep things smooth with being able to describe how our char's interpret the sixth sense you get when you get a power, that instinctive feel of how to use it, if it isn't something like Ballistic or Aegis' powers. That, and I'm getting antsy and I'm sure everyone else is too, though that could be because I've been reading Worm some 2-3 hours a day, everyday(in the mornin's) and am about 2/3 of the way through it.

Yeah, this is still trucking, a lot of it is just going on in PMs for trigger planning. I'll make a little place where I store my player data once I get back on my computer, that'll help get everything defined and help me tell what I still need.

Would the character in The Mask be a master while wearing the titular mask?

A Master? No, I don't think so. From what I can tell of what he does from what I remember of watching the movie(which was several years ago, so grain of salt), I think he'd be a breaker. Fucks with physics near him. Swallows a grenade, belches smoke.

You saw what I put for my trigger, yes, Dejavu? No questions or anything, then?

I feel a bit bad when the GM has to specifically tell me to keep things safe from thread locking... I'm not THAT bad am I?

Did we ever decide? I remember discussing quite a few things with you.

That made me look for any game where you recently posted.

And no, I don't think so.

Its more based on the fact that the trigger you specified does have certain... implications.

Are you talking about rape?

Because that can get fucked up, but it's bound to be a way some capes had their trigger events. The ridiculous amount of it that happens explains why there's more female capes than males overall.

I was discussing powers with you(sorta), and I gave my idea for trigger event, but you never commented on the actual trigger event.

Alright, found your trigger, somehow missed that the first time. That'd probably work, but as always, don't get the thread locked. Trigger events by their very nature are offensive, to say the least.

Really doubt a trigger will get the thread locked unless you go into explicit detail with exceptionally gory or inappropriate scenes.

It's not like Toady's waiting with a Lock-Gun to shoot us at the first sign of anything verging on the darker side of life. Because the type of shit in these trigger events is very much stuff that could happen to people(unless it specifically involves other parahumans, that is) in real life.

Let's get this rolling. Whose characters are ready to go and whose still haven't been approved?
