JohnnyAppleseed098 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thing is, I once made I character sheet for myself. I built myself with 28 INT and the following powers. My main powers contained a MultiFlash that affects Mental Defense (I mess with people's minds to destroy their sensory abilities). I also had the power to be able to tell a perfect lie. Lastly, I had the ability to use my mind to be able to hack into any electronic device. So, Super Smart MultiFlash Perfect Lies Hack Into Electronics With Mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealone Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Imagine the property taxes you'd have to pay and having to rule over that many followers ... I'm sure he has tax collectors among his followers who waive his taxes for him. If not, well, what good are followers?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

massey Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Recently I am hoping for a superpower that is decidedly dark. Too many people in Europe recently deny the Holocaust. Or that Vaccination is nessesary. Or that slavery was bad. Or that feminism is a nessesary thing (as long as not taken to extremes). I want to transform them so they would fit precetly as victim of that time (jew, black, people suffering from a pandemic, women). And then send them back to the time they believe was full of "gumdrops and icecream". The power would pull them back just before they are about to die/get raped/similar horrible stuff. As I see it, two powers. Possibly linked: "You fit right in..." would be a Transform. It would change the looks, clothing and ability to speak to fit right in as a victim of that time. "...now go there" would send them back to that time to experience how wrong they were firsthand. Many here would go for Movement, UAA (especially EDM, UAA) but I am not a friend of that. I feel like a Transform could do that as well (the reasoning is that time/space/dimension coordinates are about as important as not being a frog or a stone statue). Mental Illusions gets you there faster and easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 No, not really; they are two sides of the same coin. Only in a world where everyone died exclusively of old age. As in, not this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealone Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Only in a world where everyone died exclusively of old age. As in, not this one. Nah, in this one only most people die of old age. Not all, but most. But that's not good enough in your book, I suppose. For fun, I'll even support that claim using some US statistics, despite the digression it entails: ---- For US statistics on life expectancy, let's look to an authoritative source like the National Center for Health Statistics (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/index.htm), which has published a table of life expectancies by age, race, and gender (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr59/nvsr59_09.pdf). In Table C. Number of survivors by age, out of 100,000 born alive, by race, sex, and age: United States, 2007, we see that, for every 100,000 people who were born 65 years ago, 83,587 are still alive. Put another way, the odds of still being alive at age 65 are 83.6% ... and the odds of dying before age 65 are a paltry 16.4%. So yea, in this world chances are high that living forever is the opposite side of the coin which has not dying of old age on the other side... since most people clearly aren't dying from car accidents, diseases that take them in their youth, etc. I rest my case.

dsatow Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Most of you people want to live forever. How boring and unoriginal... I don't know about you but Ashildr, on Dr. Who has an interesting immortality in that she only remembers the last 100+ years or so. When I was younger, I thought Superspeed would be fun except now I think the world would end up being incredibly slow and aggravating to me. I thought about telepathy but having gained some wisdom and clarity on they way people act, I don't think I would even want to be in their heads anymore.

Christopher R Taylor Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 But that's not good enough in your book, I suppose. I'm not sure the point you're trying to make here. I want immortality not to live forever, but to not grow old. That's all life support vs aging does, it doesn't make you never die. It makes you never grow old. That's the power. There are many, many ways to die other than old age, and one of them will eventually get someone who does not age. You just don't get decrepit and broken down, which seems like a pretty good ability to have. But then, when you're young the idea is entirely abstract and you don't know what aging is really like. Yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantriped Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Speaking of other ways to die... I was quite bemused when I read the section on solar radiation damage (I think it might have been in Star Hero, but I can't remember now), and calculated backwards from it to deduce that an average human suffering from an average amount of daily solar radiation listed would die in about 90 years.

Sadly, I know what aging is really like. There I days I wish that wasn't the case, but you know, my aches and pains and creaks and such are minor compared to those with more years than me ... and they complain little, so I try not to complain, at all.

Christopher Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Mental Illusions gets you there faster and easier. That would not cut it. These people are in deep denial of reality. Having everyone around - even the cameras - document them popping out of existence for a while would make it a lot harder to deny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNaga Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Most of you people want to live forever. How boring and unoriginal... I put I wanted to live 1,600 years. Is that better than being ageless? With me living for 1,600 years I could possibly map out all of the oceans and sea life in the oceans. With me having Eidetic Memory (Sight, Smell/Taste And Hearing Groups) I would never forget what I saw when mapping out the oceans and sea life in the oceans which would a be plus and would be a great help to people who study the oceans and the sea life in oceans. I would think that living forever might get boring after some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
