In The Throes Of The Mad King's Game: A Superpower Lottery RP

I was expecting someone to have level 6 super-tasting by now

At that level, you could probably pull some Daredevil shit.

Tell if someone's lying by tasting the molecules in the air or whatever.

Level 1 Explosion Generation could be interesting, too.

And here we go, I averaged out 3.5 on the Carry Limit so I rounded up if that's cool. I can round down to 3 if ya want though.

Name: Seth Caerwynn
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Prisoner Number: AE-4271
Crime Committed: Possessing an unauthorized Mark, Resisting Arrest
Appearance: Like this, but with glasses◊

Personality: Seth is a con man. He can switch between personality types like an actor switches roles. Beneath his cunning and his charm, however, lays an idealist. Seth wants to take this society and tip it on its head. To those he opens up to they will find a man hellbent on bringing down the empire he holds responsible for the wickedness of the people. Until his trust and respect is gained though he will seem cold and calculating but once the shell is cracked one would find him a good man working for what he believes to be the greater good. Sometimes you just have to resort to less than wholesome methods to get results.

Power(s):

Sense manipulation (34)
-Multiple (6) - 3
—Sight (1)
—Taste (3)
—Touch (4)
Carry Limit: 4 (3/5/5/2/4/2)

Bio: Born to a poor family Seth never had much. He didn't harbor disdain for his parents because he never truly believed it was their fault. He was an idealist in his youth. He saught the good in the hearts of men but instead found darkness. His family was shook down for money from other, stronger families who used the money to get by. Yet he never hated them either. No, Seth fixed his hatred on the system. The upper class and society as a whole had forced people to such depraved ends. He discovered he was one of the few non-nobles gifted with a Mark that his father had stolen himself. A power with which to enact his will upon the senses of those around him. He was only thirteen at the time and his powers were wild and uncontrolled. He spent days attempting to master it with ever so little progress.

At the age of fifteen his father was killed by another for not having money to pay for "protection". Over the grave of his father he wept and told himself that he would change this world for the better. And sometimes to fight evil you had to use evil methods. His focus redoubled as he quickly whipped his power into shape as his resolve hardened. He could change what you saw, what you tasted, what you felt and it was glorious to Seth.

Seth became a con man at the age of seventeen. He used his charm and his power to take all the resources he could get his hands on. Money came easily if slowly and he lived comfortably. He was going to amass enough money that the nobles would have to take notice. That they would have to recognize him. But the con man was conned. His girlfriend of two years betrayed him. She had been bribed by the nobles to discover his secrets and she had sold him out. Like all those who came before, he didn't blame her for betrayal after some time passed. She, too, was simply a pawn to be used by the powers that be. He had fought tooth and nail to avoid the Dome but he was unsuccessful. So now the 21 year old man finds himself in a world full of others like him. People who hold power and yet are forced against their will to dance for the nobles pleasure.

He was going to find a way out. He wouldn't rest until he had changed this nation. It was just a matter of time.

Well, we have a super-taster now.

He's got sense manipulation, not super-sense

Dang. Guess I was actually hoping.

Then again, could he just be all "I'm manipulating my sense, and making it super"?

Manipulate the senses to taste sound? Am I on to something?

I'm imaging Aizen with a sharpened tooth brush.

If someone has a 1 in ability, can the player make it so the power is so random that they have no control over what it does? Completely random effects and such?

It's not that they can't control it to the point where it runs amok, it just means they have so little clue how to operate it that what they can do is extremely limited.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Hey, it's a lottery. You win some and you lose some.

You'd have to roll like six ones in a row, maybe a two here and there, but still it'd be pretty unlikely

We're getting a lot of 3s and 4s actually, I expected less so.

Edit: I was wondering how many more players you'd like to get before we begin. I don't mind, really, just wondering. We've about thirteen, so

What does Death Mark entail?

Basically, it's a debuff that makes the target take more damage.

I don't...understand.

I'm guessing it's like this◊.

Imagine you just stepped on a thumbtack. With a death mark on you, a minor prick turns into a five inch wide hole in your foot.

Actually, if I'm not wrong, since we are averaging the results of throwing six dice, it is a lot more likely to roll 3 and 4 than anything else. So everyone gets decent level powers and while it is harder to be a God, so it is harder to get a power level of 1 or 2.

Also not that one of the players with a higher carrier limit (yours truly) has force field generation as a power, and is generally defensive minded. He can protect the others from Alex Mercer-pire.

Or as I like to refer to her/it, Dio Brando and Alex Mercer's lovechild XD

Eheheh.... Since we're on the topic of my Alex Mercer&Dio Brande Love child, what exactly can Yohane do (just so that I can know my limitations with him/her)?

Is Yohane basically Alex Mercer if he was a vampire (what benefits would she gain from the vampire-side besides the blood drinking part, and would she be weak to sunlight even though she has the other stuff?), and part Gluttony (still confused on the whole Matter Consumption thingy...) from Full Metal Alchemist with the high-speed regeneration of Ulquiorra from Bleach?

Which makes it even more unfortunate for those of us who find ourselves on the 1 and 2 side of things.

But I suppose that's what where coming up with other things to do with my character comes in.
