    Ah, you do know how to cheer me up

    AAAH! CHANGE! TOO MUCH CHANGE! The pictures are all different!!! Oh well. Yup, that's the idea. I think the skeleton thing is simple enough that you don't need to be too science minded to at least try it out so should still be in character. Maybe reference getting some bruises from the early times he tried it when he forgot to reinforce the skin that made contact too? Combined with the shield this should produce a decent shockwave too. I think there'd be a bit of muscle stiffness after any particularly large falls like this, but it wouldn't do any lasting damage, it'd actually probably be the equivalent of a decent workout all over his body so he'd get pretty strong if he did this regularly enough.

    One with all limbs attatched? So I guess a Steel Inquisitor that hasn't gotten into a fight with Kelsier?

    Sneaking in stealthily behind the two Voidus, the First Lurker of the Dark Alley entered the hall. The smell of freshly baked cookies preceding him, along with a sharp almost... metallic scent. "The Dark Alley sends its greetings, along with... snacks" He drawled upon entering.

    Well now the Dark Alley is going to have to throw a party, I wonder how long it will take for someone to spike the punch We're also now home to one full Steel Inquisitor. Mwahahaha.

    Just sunk $200 into the collector's edition of the new Dragon Age, crashes on startup, check specs, all fine, contact customer support and absolutely no one can be bothered giving any advice other than 'try to get a refund'

    Hmm, well there are workarounds to increase his compressive strength more than his mass increases, if it were just the closeness of the atoms I think that would work, although that would also shrink him a bit and then his weight wouldn't be any different so he'd not get the shockwave. I think Edge and I were agreed that if he lowered his density first to slow his fall he'd be able to survive and if he vastly increased his density/tangibility just as he hit he'd still get a bit of a shockwave. An alternative would be to just increase the density of say his skeleton which is about 15% of the body's mass to maximum and leave the rest of his body (Except for whichever parts actually make contact with the ground, he'd need to increase those too to avoid massive bruises), he'd then be able to survive a fall roughly 6x higher than an ordinary person (Assuming the skeleton was increased to the point where the rest of body mass is negligible comparatively) He'd then still produce a shockwave although only 1/6th of the size as if his whole body had gone dense, still depending how dense he can get it should still be enough.

    It is painful, but still less painful than falling into concrete Yeah that's the problem, the extra strength wouldn't help offset the impact you'd need to introduce a braking force but then that slows the descent and makes him more obvious. <Has frequently wondered that about ghosts and other intangibles, also talking, how can they talk without being tangible enough to move the air with their lungs? If someone shot Nightwielder in the lungs while he was mid-sentence would he die? On the topic of Nightwielder something that's been bugging me since I read Steelheart and still don't know the answer to, if UV light pierces Nightwielders shadows then how in the name of Calamity did he keep the city shrouded in darkness? Shouldn't the sunlight have pierced the cover over the city as easily as the UV torches did?

    It's not my call but I'd be inclined to call it tangibility rather than anything else, decreasing density can't cause you to go intangible. My scientifizing of it (Which is now a word) would be that his power weakens or strengthens all of his body's/objects interactions with the rest of the universe, so not just physical mass but also electromagnetism, gravitation, etc. which would allow phasing although I'd have to think a lot about the consequences of a power like that. You'd want to reduce your density (Or whatever we call it) to aboutthe point where the air around you is relatively as dense as water to a non-altered body, so yes it would be capable of pushing you around a bit but I think if you left it til late enough it wouldn't get that much of a chance. Do you ever think we overthink superpowers Edge? ... Neither do I

    Well if he had virtually no density while falling so that the speed he reached wasn't massive then increased his density as he hit he could survive pretty much any fall, although then you wouldn't get the cool cracks and whatnot. Having a shield under him would be more likely to project an outward force as he hit, the air under the shield being pushed out, although probably still not enough to knock people from their feet. 20m fall would only take about 2 seconds which is not enough to reach terminal velocity, I think he'd survive that without breaking anything whatever his density was, although I'd need to do some research to be sure, material science is not really my thing. EDIT: Actually thinking about it, if he kept density at a constant he'd only be able to survive the same fall anyone else could, because the extra strength his bones gain is offset by the increased force of his landing being dependent upon his mass, if he vastly decreases his density just before he hits so that air resistance slows him significantly then he could survive any fall and if he knows he'll survive the fall he could increase his density to increase the shockwave/impact. So the ideal solution would be to fall as normal then a couple metres above the ground go virtually intangible so the air cushions the fall, then just as he hits the ground go full density to create the impact.
  12. Voidus
    I'd have to know specifics to figure it out but I think that yes he would break bones to the same extent anyone else would, the increased resilience would be offset by having a higher terminal velocity, Depending on the surface he'd probably send up some cracks but no I don't think shockwaves are likely
  13. Voidus
    I think if Funtimes insisted someone do something with a slightly stern expression then it's in character for pretty much anyone to do anything
  14. Voidus
    Shhh! That's a secret they only reveal when you finish your thesis.
  15. Voidus
    Incredimazablenabling for all!
  16. Voidus
    I wouldn't mind if you had, I have more Epics than I know what to do with She's definitely not likely to have a happy ship with any Epics
  17. Voidus
    Woosh? How uninspired, if you'd like I can lend you scribbler so Calamity gets added with a 'boop' This may be possible, I'm still plotting out the twins character development to the extent that I can, but then no matter what I plan for my characters they never do as they're told anyway
  18. Voidus
    Ooh, Lucentia/ Calamity ship: Twinkle Twinkle, little star. All of the Epics I make as Jokes seem to get claimed and introduced to the RP somehow, how the heck did Jingleberry get claimed?

    Waiting eagerly for tomorrow when I can get my copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition. damnation these Australian release dates being slightly behind!

    It was after reading Warbreaker that I realized The Jokers philosophy in life was just not designed for the level of awesome that is Brandon Sanderson

    If there's one thing worse than having sever anxiety attacks it's your psychiatrist deciding to change the medication for your anxiety attacks and so stops your dosage, making them about 5000000000 times worse. Does anyone want some skin? I feel like ripping mine off right about now.

    It's special white text that appears blue when highlighted You shall nevar find it!! Vondra is the leader of the Dalles.

    She's less decent than you might think She can do it herself, although the ones on her back were mostly done by a tattoo artist. (Also Inkokinesis is the best name for her power )
  25. Voidus
    I think she probably could although she probably wouldn't realize it, it would be easier for her to alter herself like that than another Epic and she wouldn't practice her abilities on vanillas so she'd not be aware of the extent of her powers just yet. I think I also gave a limit to how many she could actualize at a time so it would cut down on her limit if she kept one like that permanently activated. Bio's up in EoO.
