Heroes: How do you build...

[lensman]

How do you build telecommunications / wireless girl?

HRRH, what about network security and accounts and being a portal and ...

Mind link only to radio receptive devices?

She is Mona Lisa Overdrive. I did not catch the characters name

Knowledge 100-

minuses when she has to be more specific. :D

Been a long time since I read Gibson, but both HRRP to receive and send signals, as well as Mind Link for special systems or people, sound like they're required.

First, you gotta ask, what does she do? You need to get the effect down, before you can reason backwards from effect.

So some more detail for those who haven't read the book would be helpful.

I think her name is Hana? The comic gives the impression she is literally tapped into Internet and ALL telecommunication/satallite transmission and I think cellular tranmission all the time.

So is it just HRRH with tons of Rapid?

Rapid: 1,000,000x is Six levels of Rapid Sense modifier on HRRH (18 Active for single sense)

It allows a +18 PER (+3 PER / rapid increment) to counteract penalties for performing tasks more quickly.

At 1,000,000x it takes one Phase to percieve what others percieve over 6 hours.

What about operations like cut / paste so that she can 'dump' information collected.

I suggest a Power skill for the HRRH

Just go to the Cyberkinesis section of the Ultimate Mentalist book. Telepathy (Machine class minds) and Mind Control (Machine class minds) with some sort of extra limitation of only machines that telecommunicate. There is IR Communications: IR Perception (Sight Group),Transmit (7 active pts); Only to communicate with machines (-1).Total Cost 3pts. This IR power just turns you into a remote control.

There are plenty of cool computer and machine powers in the Mentalist book. I don't have it in front of me, but check it out. Oh, and she is called Wireless in the comic and the forums. I believe Nexus is right that her real name is Hana or Hanna.

I realize this is not your fault, but isn't kinesis motion? Telekinesis is the ability to control the motion of mass at a distance. Cyberkinesis would be the ability to control the motion of machines. Like throw them at people or something.

Cybertelepathy seems like a better word.

You're right, but it's the current usage anyway. Some people use:

cyberpath, cyberpathy = your "cybertelepath" = the equivalent of machine-class mind telepathy/mind control... but I think most people find the word unwieldy.

with

cyberkinetic, cyberkinesis = transmutation of machines, like that Alpha Flight guy could do.

or even

cyberkinetic, cyberkinesis = animation-like control of even mechanical devices like cars.

I wonder if we could get "cyburgy" (cybernetics-working") to catch on, for the catch-all term. I kinda doubt it...

Edit: I'm guessing it evolved from pyrokinesis and cryokinesis, which are more about generating and controlling heat/cold than about "moving heat" or "moving cold". So the -kinesis suffix in our little subculture has been associated with control more than motion.

I use datapath.

If 'Esper' is short for someone with ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception), someone with CSP (Cyber-Sensory Perception) could be called a 'Casper'.

A ghost in the machine, eh?

Hahaha! I really like that, seriously. I say we try to make it catch on.
