~Powers/Abilities~ Below are listed multiple different types of powers that a person may have here at Plot Adventures. This list is just a generic throw-together meaning you don't have to pick one of these powers for your character. However, it's not a sin to have power. Manipulators Water Manipulator These individuals can take the molecule, H20 and move it around as they please. As you all should know, water has three states, solid, liquid, and gas. You may create an individual with water manipulating powers and a reasonable extent of experience. We don't want the site looking too much like Avatar with God-Like manipulators and such. I do encourage you to be creative with these individuals. They are telekinetic in the sense that they can move water without touching it. Remember, it's just water. They can, however, encase objects in water, freeze it, and move them that way. Just remember to keep your powers remaining probable. Ice Manipulators These Manipulators are very similar to water elementals but they focus more on the decreased energy of water. They may take away kinetic energy at an alarming rate, meaning they can freeze anything very quickly. Although they may not be as well rounded as a Water Manipulator, they are certainly more experienced and capable in the field of ice. Fire Manipulator These individuals are pretty self explanatory. They can start fires, move flames, burn shit, whatever. They have the ability to make fire at the snap of their fingers. However, keep in mind that with this power does not come resiliency. They can still be burned. These individuals are human like everyone else. Fire can be pretty powerful if used correctly. Air Manipulator According to Websters Big Ass Dictionary of stuff, Air can be defined as "a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and minute amounts of other gases that surrounds the earth and forms its atmosphere." or "a stir in the atmosphere; a light breeze." Keeping that in mind, I want the users that make these Air Manipulators to realize that air is oxygen, nitrogen, and multiple other gases that make up our atmosphere. Feel free to suck the air out of someone's lungs or fill up a balloon with helium. This type of Manipulator is the most powerful though. Without Oxygen, Fire and water cannot exist. Be careful and realistic with how you role play these individuals. Remember, we don't want God-like people here; With Age comes experience. Earth Manipulator Often times, these types of manipulators are seen as brutes. However, you can customize your characters any ways you'd like. Keep in mind that Earth Manipulators have an unspoken connection to plants. Referring back to Websters Big Ass Dictionary, earth can be defined as "the solid matter of this planet; dry land; ground" or "soil and dirt, as distinguished from rock and sand; the softer part of the land." Those guidelines are pretty set in stone. However, the interesting part about earth manipulators is their ability to enhance the growth of plants. I'd like to keep this as realistic as possible though, so, no spider man hands, meaning plants can't just grow out of nothing. In order to manipulate a plant for an earth manipulator's personal gain, there must be a plant around to manipulate. Plain and Simple. Copycat Ability to copy or absorb another's powers or skills. Power Bestowal This character must fit a certain criteria in order to be sorted. First, they must have another power that they may bestow. Second, they must know the limits of their powers I.e. they may only pass off their powers for a certain amount of time. Also, having bestowed his/her power on someone, the original character is not longer able to use their power but they may, at any point with the snap of their fingers, get their powers back. Negation These individuals have the ability to nullify one's powers. This is mostly a defense mechanism and should be accompanied by another minor power. Negation is not permanent but may prevent people in certain proximity to them from using their powers. Fatigue This power can be interpreted many different ways. You can spread fatigue to people around you as you please to a reasonable extent, or you may decide to switch your fatigue with someone else, taking their fatigue level. Maybe even both! Power Sensing Ability to sense or recognize superhuman powers. Memory Manipulation Ability to push aside (not erase completely) or enhance the memories of another. Animation Ability to bring inanimate objects to life. However, once the identity of the object is compromised (a basketball coming to life them being stabbed and deflated) control over that object is lost. This also includes the power to give life to pictures. Please refrain from giving life to Poke'mon. Darkness or Shadow Manipulation Essentially, when one's shadow is stolen or disappears, a part of that person also disappears. In that sense, the subject is harmed psychologically. Also, this power brings darkness and lack of light which can cause blindness in a sense. Be creative! =] Density control This power may not be popular at all but I, personally, find it interesting. Dictionary.com defines density as "the degree of opacity of a substance.", "Thickness of consistency; impenetrability", and, but not limited to, "Complexity of structure or content." Keep in mind that by being a density manipulator, anything can float or sink in water. Also, things may become transparent, less thick, etc. Emotional Projection Ability to make someone feel a certain way. May range from most any feeling a person can feel. Elemental Transmutation The ability to alter chemical elements, changing them from one substance to another by rearranging the atomic structure. Is limited to self-transmutation. Gravity manipulation Ability to manipulate or generate gravitons, or other types of gravitational interactions. Remember, this is not telekinesis. Light manipulation Pretty self explanatory. Cannot make physical manifestation out of the light but can intensify light and also cause blindness. Magnetism manipulation This is also pretty self explanatory. It's like being telekinetic to things that are metal. You may repel or attract metal. Mass Manipulation Ability to increase or decrease mass in an object or person to a certain extent... Radiation Manipulation Ability to generate, manipulate or have immunity to toxic radiation. This person should, theoretically, glow in the dark. Haha Telekinesis The movement of an object or objects without actually touching them. Literally, you can break the word telekinesis down into tele (at a distance) and kinesis (movement). Movement at a distance. This power can be abused easily so be careful. Illusionist This is by no means being a magician. This power involves what eyes perceive to exist but actually isn't there. Therefore one's sense of touch can deceive an illusion. Sound Manipulation This includes amplifying, muting, creating etc sounds. Time manipulation Ability to affect the flow of time by slowing, accelerating (I.e. making a pot of water boil quickly by focusing that time on it), reversing, or stopping it. Don't go too crazy with this power. Electric Manipulation Self Explanatory. Can create Electricity at whim. Weather manipulation To a certain extent. Also self explanatory. Be mature about this one. Energy blasts Ability to expel various forms of energy from the body. Energy constructs Ability to create complex shapes (such as giant boxing gloves or cages) or even functional machinery (such as fire extinguishers or laser rifles) out of solid energy. Energy Conversion Ability to absorb one form of energy and convert it into another form of energy. I.E. Solar to Heat Kinetic to Solar, whatever Force Field Generation Ability to project powerful fields of manipulated energy. Concussion Beams Ability to generate or transform various forms of energy into a "solid" or concussive beam of energy. Physical Powers Intangibility or Phasing This ability is almost ghostlike. While you are phasing, gravity no longer effects you. Interpret that as you will. Immortality Pain still occurs but death never comes. Accelerated Healing You may heal yourself, others, or both. Duplication They can make up to 10 of themselves. For smaller items that they might want to duplicate, they may do up to 20 because those small items would not exhaust their energy as much. Same thing applies to larger items. Use your own judgment. Temporal Duplication Ability to bring past versions of oneself back to the present. Invisibility Self explanatory. This does not include phasing through matter. Invulnerability Ability to be immune to one or more forms of physical damage or injury. This is not immortality. They must have a reason why they are immune to what they are. I.E. exposure to toxins may have exploited their invulnerability and inadvertently caused them to become immune to it. This is more of a focused "I'm invulnerable to this one thing because...." type of power. Kinetic Absorption/Release Includes Temperature. Ability to absorb forms of kinetic energy into oneself and convert it into physical strength. Merge Ability to temporarily merge two beings into a single being, which results in a completely new and stronger being. This new being should resemble what it has been combined with and also may share the power of that person. This may be done against the characters will (not against the user's will though. a.k.a. power-playing). Poison Generation Ability to assault others with one or more varieties of toxins, with widely disparate effects (Even Disease!). Resistance/Immunity This is separate from invulnerability. This power focuses more on preservation of one's health. Self-detonation or Explosion [0] Similar to the Pokemon Electrode. Remember, this takes a lot of energy and will exhaust the character to the point of faintness and extreme fatigue. This includes invulnerability to extreme heat but not fire itself. However, fire generated by the initial explosion does not hurt. Sonic scream Loud Screaming! This is similar to sound manipulation/ amplification. Superhuman Reflexes Ability to react/notice faster than a normal human. Think Fast! Superhuman Senses Ability to see, smell, taste, feel and/or hear more than a normal human. Not Night vision or X-ray. Does include microscopic vision. Strength Pretty self explanatory. Does not mean one is invulnerable or immune to anything. However, invulnerability may accompany super strength. Once again, be creative. Night vision See at night.... hahaha X-ray vision Can see bones through most everything unless something is too dense like metal. This is where density manipulation can come in handy. You can only see through things up to a certain distance as well. Yes, this is a fo0rm of enhanced vision. Wall-Crawling This can accompany certain types of shape shifting; I.e. a spider shape shifter is obviously wall crawling. This is a form of a gravity manipulator as well but it is limited to one's own body. Water Breathing Breathe under water! This may be, a lot of time, accompanied by fish shape shifters, water manipulators, etc. Mental and Knowledge-based Abilities Linguism Can comprehend and Speak any and all languages. Empathy This is the ability to feel other people's emotions. This may be considered a form of extra sensory perception. Precognition This is the ability to see the future. However, be realistic. This power is incredibly strong. I will not approve anyone who can, at whim, see 1,000 years into the future. A vision of 1,000 years into the future might be okay but total comprehension of such a time span is simply ridiculous. Psychometry Ability to relate details about the past or future condition of an object, person or location, usually by being in close contact with it. Telepathy This involves the ability to read the minds of individuals and the shift their memories/thoughts. Lie Detection This power is pretty self explanatory. A person with this ability can determine how genuine a person is. This person can tell if what people are saying is true, based on the reality of the subject. Remember, a lie can have truth to it. For instance, if this Lie Detecting individual asked an atheist if God exists, that atheist would say no based on their genuine opinion. However, this may not be the truth. God May or may not exist making their statement true or false. Mind control The ability to alter the perceptions of others, and general ability to control the actions of others with the mind. Possession Essentially, a person can take over someone else complete without them recollecting anything you do while they are possessed. During the time of possession, the possessor's body is inside the person being possessed. Transportation or Travel Electrical Transportation Ability to travel through electrical conduits (such as power lines, or telephone lines). Can enter through devices such as televisions, electrical poles or computers. Summoning Ability to summon animals. That's it. Just Animals. Superhuman Speed Ability to move at speeds much faster than a normal human. Teleportation Ability to move from one place to another without occupying the space in between. Time travel Ability to travel back and forth through time. Must be short periods of time back and forth. Be reasonable. These people are more experienced that Time Manipulators and can go ahead in time unlike Time Manipulators. Miscellaneous Flight Without Wings. Just a snap of the fingers flying ability. Ability to lift off the ground, to ride air currents or to fly self-propelled through the air. Physical Transformation Wings Self Explanatory. Color, size, type etc of the wings is up to the user. Shape Shifting Ability to change appearance or body structure. Types of shape shifting include Animal Morphing Ability to take on animal forms. May be able to take on the abilities of the altered form. Animal morphed into must exist in the present. You have the option to choose to only morph into Canines or felines etc and accompany this power with another. Elasticity Ability to stretch, deform, expand and contract one's body into any form they can imagine. Inorganic Ability to transform completely into an inorganic substance while retaining organic properties. (I.E. Becoming a talking filing cabinet.) Liquification Ability to turn partially or completely into a liquid. Sublimation Ability to transform into a gaseous, mist, or fog-like form. Transformation Ability to transform into substance touched. (I.E. This person may be holding a fork and become a fork and then they will both come clattering down but the 'man-fork' can choose to remain in fork form. Organic qualities are not retained. I.E.E. No Talking forks unless your power is Inorganic) Customized Here I'll put powers that users come up with themselves. Remember everyone! Be, FREAKING, creative! I have some suggestions as well. You may give a character multiple powers. However, they may not have all the capabilities of those powers. (I.E. Sound Manipulator only able to mute noises with the ability to breathe under water.) Think outside the box! Edited by Prestwick Willows, Aug 10 2009, 07:30 PM.
