Perhaps PM Archer with it, so he can decide if it's good. That way he'll get the info he needs, and you can keep it a secret from us.

There's always another secret

Agreed.

@Archer I have written the power description, tell me what you think.

Spoiler

Epic Powers: The first effect is the user has an increased awareness to sound waves, this isn’t better hearing, they can sense sound waves. The basic ability is being able to basically turn the volume up and down, the more it’s altered the more concentration is needed. Making something louder is much harder than quieter. Threw training users can teach themselves to funnel sounds and even, through extensive training, catch sounds and redirect them. There is a range around the user that they can manipulate, though this can be increased. This power is also heavily influenced by emotion, strong emotions usually cause big burst of power that the user would not be able to replicate.

 

[Archer he/him]

My forte isn't Epics, but that looks well thought out to me, and reasonably powered. Well done. 

I still like the power plausibility idea, but it didn't get established. Still, from my perspective, certain backstories are OP. Eg. Called up my main man Ruin and he hooked me up with a spike because he owed me a favour. But so long as you have a reasonable backstory for them, it's acceptable in E3.

If this could get shoved into Eve's "Life story" section....

Spoiler

The Doves (age 0-5):

Spoiler

Eve’s first mother was a charity organizer, her father an accountant. She had two older brothers. One was 12, the other 8. As children they’d have contests with an intent of scaring one another. Eve practiced walking quietly and eventually even at a young age started naturally being utterly smile. When she was four, she was out on a playdate with another kid when her eldest brother had his friend over. She was an Epic with fire powers and lost control. The Dove house burnt down and all were killed, but Eve. One of Eve’s mother’s friends was a worldhopper and a worker at the orphanage Eve was placed in. She took Eve to Scadrial where she dropped her with her friends the Yins.

The Yins (age 5-10):

Spoiler

The Yins adopted Eve as one of their own. She always knew she wasn’t really one of them - they were dark-skinned and she extremely pale. But they always treated her kindly. They had one child of their own, a female atium misting two years older than her who became her closest friend and basically a sister. The parents were both gold mistings. They were very aware of her past and when she developed a want to learn how to fight, they supported her the whole way. It was when she was out in a field training in swordplay that an infamous Hemalurgist came by and killed them in order to harvest their abilities. When Eve entered her house to find their corpses, she immediately sent a spanreed to her mother’s old friend like she’d told her to in case something like that ever happened. It turned out, Eve learnt talking to her son who was now in possession of it, that she’d been killed by a Coinshot accidentally overshooting who ran out of coins and landed on her. Eve was devastated and at age 10 visited Alleycity for the first time, catching a ride from a kindly worldhopper who she never saw again. There she lived as a beggar for a year before the childcare authorities found her. They dropped her with the Tacets on Roshar.

The Tacets (age 11-15):

Spoiler

The Tacets were a more elderly couple who had never been able to have children. They took to Eve immediately and loved everything about her, even her pessimistic attitude. The Tacets were Alethi, but didn’t force her to take on any of their customs - it was her choice whether or not to cover her safehand. She didn’t typically, being left-handed, but did on occasion. Eve didn’t really communicate with many people her age while on Roshar, she was extremely introverted and spent most of her time practising her aim and stealth. She kept that up for five years. When she was sixteen, things went wrong again. It turned out that the Tacets’ cousins actually owed heavy debts to a group of Shardbearers and had been avoiding taxes. To that clan, the punishment for that was death to all relatives related by blood or marriage. They left Eve alive, before that point she had never taken upon herself the Tacets’ name, deciding she didn’t qualify under the requirement, but made it clear that if she ever told anyone what had happened they would hunt her down. Knowing there was no way their neighbors wouldn’t ask, Eve fled in panic back to Alleycity.

Heyo, It would be great if you could add that Devaan died fighting Hellbent.

[Kidpen he/him]

Hey, it would be great if you could add that Voidus gave Mahz all of his powers, and that it will be passed down every time I make a new character.

mmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, That happened.

Just to be clear, it didn't.

By the way Gancho, while I've got you here, have you already done genetics? We took a pretest the other day, and apparently that one chapter in HPMoR prepared me equally as well as a girl who has the same class who took it in 6th grade. So if you haven't already done it, reading HPMoR is an equally good way to study as reading textbooks.

I have not done genetics, but that makes a spankin' lot of sense. 

And it helps with more than just that. Reading that book literally changed the way I think. 

And the way I write.

Spoiler

There was a pause.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. An amazing Harry Potter fanfic that I do not have time to explain right now, but I will do so later if Gancho doesn't do it first.

Same. Totally changed how I do things.

I'd be happy too.

It's basically an alternate version of the Harry Potter series, except Harry Potter is a child prodigy in the ways of Muggle science and rationality.

And when he gets put in a Magical society...

Keep in mind that this may or may not be a spoiler, you do not know.

You'll have to read it and find out.

Alright, here's my attempt at joining the Alleyverse. I haven't done an organized RP like this in years, so I'm a little rusty. This is my idea for a character. I'd love any input.

Spoiler

Name: Lanrielis

Investiture: Awakening (sixth heightening)

Special skills: Hand-to-hand combat, has an affinity for awakening her opponent's clothing.

Weakness: Goes through a lot of Breath, since she likes to occasionally awaken her opponent's clothing. Never became proficient with weaponry.

Appearance: Female; 5'7" with a muscular build; broad shoulders; shoulder-length red hair

Family: Youngest of three children born to a wealthy Hallandren merchant.

Occupation: Mercenary

Personality: She rarely takes anything seriously, which is part of why she didn't last long in the city guard. That, and her inability to learn how to use a sword. She enjoys awakening opponent's clothing because she finds their reactions amusing when their shirts start trying to move themselves.

 

[Lunar Blessing she/her]

I think the sixth heightening might be a bit much... but don’t quote me on that.

I chose it since that's when it becomes instinctive, but I can definitely drop it down. Also, it's unlikely she'll stay there, considering her weakness.  

[Lunar Blessing she/her]

Yeah, I’m just saying you might be asked to change it

I like it, I like it a lot! but yeah, Potency was correct, you might have to change it. Especially if they don't have a good weakness.

[Elandera she/her]

Sounds good!  Like I said, it's been years since forum RPing, so I'm practically brand new at this kind of thing. I'm not sure what's standard. Also I'm fine with getting ideas for new/different weaknesses.
