McCoy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Number Two Son has an idea for an NPC, an inner city youth codenamed Bling Bling. She has an Absorbing Man like ability to copy the properties of things she touches. I'm doing this as a multiform, giving her a limited number of forms rather than a pool. What she copies is jewelry. A few forms come to mind: Diamond, brick with hardened defenses and AP HA Platinum, brick with extremely high ED Gold, relatively low defenses, but can stretch, great for brachiating through mid-town Anything else sugget itself? Thanking everyone in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? If you want things based on physical properties, then you've probably got it pretty covered. If you want to venture further into comic-book pseudo-science, you could have her generate an innate bio-luminescence that can give her some light powers in some gem forms. If you want to go even further afield, various gems have purported mystical properties, and you could base powers around those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoresLost Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? Ruby comes to mind as missing, and when I think ruby I think the early LASERs, so Ruby could be a EB weilding type. Silver could also be done as a attack reflector (mirrored surfaces are silvered). Who needs science, use free form assocation gets more interresting results. Alchemical properties can be fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Neilson Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? Dig up those old Metal Men comics... Gold is highly ductile, so Stretching Lead is a terrific shield against radiation Mercury "The only metal that's a liquid at room temperature!"

Tiree Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? There was a character exactly like this in X-Men: 2099 - if you have a copy or can pick it up, it might help. But if you have any super science metal like adamantium - I would put that in there too.

The Monster Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? Flash vs vision - bright sparkly flashes, for any gem form Invisibility with bright fringe - pure clear crystal HA/HKA - sharp edges/points, possible with any jewelry form, but especialyl suitable for gemstones EB/RKA - laser (I know, already mentioned, but for an odd limitation, make it dependent on having a bright light source, so that the hero is focusing light rather than generating it), especially for ruby Desolid(!) - changing into a pile of small gems, able to slip through small holes, kind of like a "mist form" Images - making jewelry-style signals and pictures on/with the body, especially for a primarily metal form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? Pearls? Silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? I'd make Pearl have some RPD/ED. The special feature, ofcourse, should be being able to secrete a mother of pearl like substance for use in entangeling people, creating walls/objects and maybe even allowing extra running ala Ice Man's ice slides.

Rage Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? And, hey, it'd be cool if she could use forms like Obsidian to drain energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? First off, kudos to Number Two son on a great name and concept. Second, any crystalline form should allow for some kind of EB re-direction, though not reflection. So, some kind of missile deflection with reflection at any target except the original attacker.

EDIT (11/21/05): It should be a limitation "Not VS Attacks with Ammonia, Vinegar, Chlorine (as in pool chlorine) or lemon juice"....Sorry I missed those on my first pass. -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st barbara Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Multi-form suggestions? Don't forget the supposed "mystic" powers of precious stones ! If you can , try to get hold of a copy of George Frederick Kunz's "The Mystical Lore Of Precious Stones" (Newcastle Publishing Co, 1986). Bloodstone for example is quoted as causing "Thunder, lightning,rain and tempest" (p 65) and "Emerald" can "quicken the prophetic faculty" (p83-84).
