Well, if the other immortals are neutral to them, then they're probably neutral to us too. To become a god, I don't think we necessarily have to kill all other immortals, I don't believe we're that kind of protagonist.


I had thought that the tangible force was just what we wanted to project (that or a form of descriptive fluff), but if it's not, then you're certainly right about the shielding. If it's both-ways, all the better, as it will protect us from psychic intrusions.

Soon mortal men will be no match and any physical challenges must come from others.

And the leaders of the enlightened sensed use, that is how we were found so quickly.

The head of the order would have your place of residence marked once they sensed you

Heh. I was totally going to suggest we find a lonely young woman and offer to help warm her bed a couple of story posts ago.

I didn't, but it looks like we got that anyway.

Anyway, 7X Healing Factor. What good is immortality if we can be incapacitated through physical damage?

Oh, and grow retractable bone claws.

I am totally not trying to turn us into the Wolverine, no matter how appropriate it may be...

I say put the points into regeneration and a minor form of telekinesis to redirect bullets(just frequent I'm hoping since it's not full-blown telekinesis). Regeneration is really useful in almost any situation, and with a good enough gun redirecting bullets could potentially take out multiple enemies with one bullet.

Water plus 1 point towards unnatural speed (powerful+versatile+frequent)
Or just get bursts of unnatural speed(Powerful+versatile)

We are dealing with a lot of conflicting organisations so water should be a priority.
Night-vision would have been very useful against the apparent ambush.

I'm for the increased regen and against anything magic.

How about some type of extreme stamina power?  That way we could do something like swim the English Channel or run the length of the country all at once.

@Everyone for regen:  Remember, we can't get regeneration: we can only get 7x healing speed, which isn't nearly as good. It just means that instead of taking two weeks to recover, it only takes 2 days. I think that means that if our arm gets chopped off, it will never grow back. However, if that's the case, I'm amazed we have any limbs remaining (after all, we've been around for over 1000 years). 

@Toaster:  I'm against real magic, but I'm for magic-like abilities. How about invisibility? Or if that's too extraordinary for you, just a sort of mind-trick like thing (people see you, don't bump into you and the like, but don't pay any attention to you)? That would be fine, I think.

Point fire, point regen.

Guys, lets make it easy on Silleh and try to rein in our thoughts to something central. Every single person throwing out specific abilities and far-off speculations clutters things. Right now, we have a singular issue of where our points go.

We seem to have agreed to put one point into regen, for the most part. Now we just have to decide on the second...

Get 'Unkillable' We might as well have a safety if we get shot or such, anyway guys I dont think we can choose our own powers. if they're up then yes, we can but otherwise it wont happen. Plus there is no magic in this place, so most powers you are suggesting couldn't work.

Ochita, we have unkillable!

We can choose whatever we want in the alloted points.

Well, I'll support the point in regen if the GM lets it in.

Rather than fire, I'd recommend water. This would let us notice people and the world around us better, which would offer a bit of protection from ambushes and attacks that would incapacitate us instantly. Fire would not be useful against rapid-incapacitation attacks such as headshots. Plus, once we get a 6 or 7 in water, we'll more or less be able to read minds.


@Ochita:
I think we already have unkillable. And magic-like powers are permitted, if I recall correctly. Read the spoiler about stats: he describes powers such as being able to shoot lightning and stuff, so I think spell-like abilities are permitted.

One point into air, save one for a future 3 point ability.

I don't know what it means either, but I believe he previously said we had it. He certainly implied it in one of the recent story posts, saying that a slit throat would annoying due to the staining of clothing.
