nexus Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 This character will have the fairly cosmic ability to rewrite reality on a global scale but her power is pretty focused. She can change the nature of the world so that reality behaves like its driven by the tropes and conventions of specific comic eras including the cliches and unrealistic conventions. It does NOT create superpowered individuals but history is changes to be conducive to such beings (myths really occurred, there are lost lands, etc, whatever is appropriate to a superpowered setting). A tongue cheek way to put it would be "Transform: Mundane real world background/physics into comic book world background/physics" Most people don't notice the change but major figures (particularly other PCs) usually will. The character can't control when this happens and she won't even notice (She's psychotic and always thinks she's in a comic book). So its definitely no conscious control (or maybe triggered) and she can only do once a month and things automatically revert to normal or if she's sufficiently distracted by something she'll unconsciously let go and allow the world to return to its mundane state.

nexus Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Re: Reality Alteration: Welcome to the comics sonds like foxbat with witchcrafts powers Sounds like she wields raw fiatium. This is an NPC right? A little more explanation. This is a player character (mine) in a "people with powers" style game where our characters only recently developed super powers are the only beings in the world that have them. The setting is the real world world circa Summer 2006. Laura Henderson is a mentally disturbed young woman that suffers from the delusion that she is a character in a comic book. Her recently enhancement hs given that delusion more weight since she can bend reality to accommodate her instead of the other way around. This power reflects Laura's ability to impose her delusion on reality itself, transforming the world into a comic style universe. It does not create additional super powered beings or inflict massive alterations on the physical level but people were behave like residents in a supers universe, history and the laws of reality to bend to be supportive of the tropes, cliches and conventions of a superhero world (of whatever age occurs). Just add supers. Player characters and other major figures are not affected in the sense they realize things have changed (such as finding costumes in their closets). When the world reverts back, they'll remember but everyone else won't...not much anyway. The power is triggered when some Laura is confronted by realities she finds uncomfortable or that conflict with her world view too much or anything that makes her question her reality. The effects fades over a week and will not happen again for at least a month ot "real" time. She can only cause it revert unconsciously if she gets too deeply and emotionally distracted by something (GM's call) So yeah, she kind of this game Mrs Mystyplk..ehh Mystylpk.. uh... Bat-mite.

Transform was a thought but we weren't sure how to quantify things like altering history, physical laws, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
