A New Reckoners' RP - Signups and Interest thread

[Through the living jeff he/him(straight)]

You know what I’m realizing?

everyone is creating their own factions.

I think I’ll just join a faction, or not be in one at all.

I’ll make a choice soon.

[Lord Spirit he/him]

I want to have my own faction, but Shakespeare was designed as a spy, so I’ll join a faction or something. Anyone want to hire him?

[Lunamor she/her]

I’ve been thinking about Plastique‘s powers a bit more. Y’all please let me know if any of it sounds unbalanced.

She can choose for her attire to be absorbed into her blob form, and it reforms properly when she solidifies. Anything not considered “attire” can’t be absorbed but can be carried around. She can melt individual parts of her body if wanted (ex. melts everything but an arm to hold a gun while in blob form). When fully melted, she could have a general sense of where things are but not clear sight unless she doesn’t melt her eyes (this is where her enhanced reflexes would be handy). Unmelted body parts are more vulnerable and healing them requires absorbing roughly equivalent materials needed to reconstruct them while in blob form (ex. a human hand or chicken carcass to replace a lost hand). When fully blobbed, she can survive underwater indefinitely but can’t swim. Her speed when melted is the same as her unmelted form’s.

Now that I’m thinking of it, her blob state is similar to a boneless kandra with the consistency of (Calamity spoilers)

I guess if we're starting factions, anyone can join my reckoner cell (I'm actually moving it to Buffalo, KC was just a random city). I don't know if a bunch of epics makes sense for a reckoner cell, but maybe it's just a reformed epic orginization. I'll prob add a few regular characters too if that's okay with you @Aeoryi

Yup!

Also, you're welcome to start as factionless and just go around causing havoc, or maybe you'll get an irresistible offer and join someone later on!

Nothing is unbalanced compared to what I can come up with  . That's just fine by me, and makes perfect sense.

Fish's School of Fishies?? Strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear about them! I was going to call Fish's headquarters the Aquarium originally... 

Also, I have added Aeo's character Sundew to the approved characters list (because she was previously approved by the old RP and Aeo is too busy gaming to send it here ).

Has anyone had a look at my redone character?

Yep! You've got some questions here from Aeo, and some from me:

Quote

I know Aeo already asked, but I'd love to know specifics on range and limits for the gravity switching (funny story, I originally was going to have an Epic who controls gravity and then I realized how OP that is...), like can he switch any object's gravity? Other people's? Can he switch a small area's gravity? When it says gravity switching, I'm assuming that's the direction that gravity is facing?

Weakness-wise, a bit more specific would help. How close to darkness, what counts as darkness, etc. Same thing as with Ignis, you don't have to make an extremely inconvenient weakness. Otherwise, it's looking good!

Edmonton cannotically happens after steelheart's death. Buffalo happens before.

He affects things in a small circle around him, but he has to have the intent to do it. it is a 5x5 meter bubble, and when they are out of the bubble they turn normal. His weakness is darkness in which he can not see anything.

So it depends on ambient levels of britishness how deadly cookies are.

Ok! I'll add him to the list. Does it have to be pitch-black, as in he'd be ok if he was walking around at night and it was super dark?

Not pitch black, but mostly just night time super dark...
