Logarithm is a tech based mentalist character. He has a unique ability to transform himself into pure information, and attack computers, mundane electronics, and even a human's brain waves.
From here, I'll give him a nice MPP with various mentalist special effects, mind control, ego attacks, etc.
The special effect for the character Im going for is that he turns into "virtually" invisible information, and "accesses" the target, taking control of its functions by overriding its previous information...
Right now I am simulating his "information form" by taking Invisibility to almost all sense groups (except Radio, which I want to beable to detect me) with no fringe (somewhere near 110AP I think..I have it written down) and then having a Desolidification (affected by any data draining, erasing, or scrambling abilities) linked to it. He would also have Life Support, and possible some extra senses himself...(Note, in the Invisibility power, I did not buy the Touch group because the book says that Desolid. takes care of that...correct?)
This basically makes me non existant to the actual world. Im not sure if this is the best way to do it, or how to really simulate that he has to "go inside" others for his powers to work. I was thinking of just making the MPP require contact, so Id have to be practically ontop of the target to active my powers.......Can you make a close combat EGO grapple? =P
Also, what would I do for a power that allows me to control machines and electronics, not just those with robotic brains (ie, activate TVs, make cars run, turn lights on and off, etc). Perhaps AOE TK, only on machines and electrical devices, only to make them operate as they normally could (-1?). Hmm, or would a mind control still work. Id like to beable to take control of power armors and such too, pilot or no.
Anyways, any help with this part, or more ideas for the MPP would be appreciated....Perhaps theres another way to accomplish this special effect that I haven't noticed....
NOTE: Another thing...Im only working with 250 pts here =P
