We should think about getting a Kevlar body stocking made up. That way even if we get mushed into a thousand gloopy pieces we'll still meld ourselves back together. We should also experiment with slicing off a strip of skin and sticking it back on like a Bandaid. See if our reconstruction power is passive/works even if we're not using. Also pick up chicks with cheesy rock hard innuendo.

I’m still alive! It has been a crazy past couple of weeks but here we go. I also changed the terms a bit for the momentum mechanics. Since we aren’t really gaining momentum like the other game I think it’s more of we gain more control over our power. So instead of +1 momentum it’ll be +1 power control. Anyways let us get on with the show! -~-~-~-~-~ You had known about this interview for months and always wanting to be center of attention wherever you go; you decided to begin to grow your finger nails out. You wanted claws. Sharp and hard as diamonds. Months and months of practicing and preening followed as you prepared for this. Your parents were concerned about the length of your nails but left you be as they always did. You were their special guy after all, you couldn’t do anything wrong. (Spoiled Brat attribute granted immediate win against the parental concern 3d6 here). Your nails are now 2 inches long and filed with sharp points and edges. At home you’ve easily been able to gouge holes in trees and even your hardwood floors once when your mother did allow you to have the new XBONE game you had wanted (you still got it afterwards of course). “So tell me Alan, how long have you had this amazing ability?” Daisy Meekens, the host of Emmy Award winning variety show Meeks Weeks asks you as you sit on the plush couch in front of the live studio audience. “For as long as I can remember honestly Ms. Meekens” you reply back looking down and playing with your nails underneath the thick gloves you have on hiding them until the opportune time. Of course you are playing the nervous teen in front of the audience, you had an image to uphold after all. Not really nervous at all right? 1. Are you actually nervous? Personality traits sometimes will have affect rolls or cause certain events to happen after successful or unsuccessful rolls. However these traits can change with time or with certain actions. A. Yes, terrified actually. What if I screw up here? No one will like me then! Worse still that cute redhead in the audience is looking directly at me! B. Psshh, No! Why on Earth would I care what they think about me? I’m me. I’m a big loving deal. “How interesting, I don’t know what I would do if I had such amazing powers. Probably wouldn’t be a TV host!” The audience laughter pounds in your ears. “Could you demonstrate?” She asks. “Of course! Let me show you something cool.” You nod towards the backstage crew who begins to bring out a stack of old phone books (can you believe they still make these things?) and place them in front of you. You, with great flourish, pull off your gloves revealing your dagger like nails, covered in rhinestones and gaudy paint. The audience gasps and applauds. “I will make my nails harder than diamonds and use the sharpened filed down edges to cut through all these phone books like butter.” The audience gasps again and you see several of them push towards the edge of their seat. To cut through the books 1d6 = 5 vs 1d6 = 2 [Success] +1 power control (+1 more extra from Spoiled Brat) Too Keep the Claws attribute 1d6 = 3 vs 1d6 = 6 [Failure] With great panache and swashbuckle you swing your arm down with all your fingers pointed straight out in a knife hand. Hardening your fingers and nails you effortlessly slice through all the books, leaving a neat slice through all of them. You barely felt the pages as your hand pushed through it. You began to think you cool it would be to have these sharp nails all the time when you sliced through the last phonebook. This daydream however caused your concentration to waver just a bit so you hit your nails against the stage and your nails shattered. The audience however didn’t notice that and jumped to their feet giving you a standing ovation. Quickly hiding your broken nails behind your back you smiled and bowed, silently cursing your own clumsiness. Oh well. You basked in your adoration and finished the interview. After the show you stood in the alley behind the studio lot waiting for your parents come around with the car (you should really get them to get you a car for yourself). As you stared off into space a large muscular man in a black suit and tie walked up next to you and began to smoke a cigarette. You looked over at him and noticed a gun hanging from a shoulder holster on his left-hand side. He turned and stared at you. “The US government would like a few words with you Alan. We’ve already contacted your parents and they said it was okay for you to come with us” He said in a gravelly voice. Looking behind him you see your parent’s car down the road. Were they leaving or coming towards you? You couldn’t quite tell from this distance. The man reached out and grabbed your shoulder. 2. What did you do? You don’t know if this man is legit or if your parents actually gave their permission. Only thing you do know is that he is huge and he has a gun. A. Go with him, if your parents are okay with it you’re okay with it. Maybe the government wants to study your powers. Maybe you could be a supersoldier! SO COOL! Difficulty 0 / +0 power control B. Go with him but silently let pieces of you fall off as liquid so if your parents didn’t actually give permission they’ll know something happened and be able to follow. Difficulty 1 / +1 power control C. Immediately tense up and harden your fist. Punch his arm to try and break the bone. Difficulty 1 / +1 power control D. Same as C but go for his face. Difficulty 1 / +1 power control E. Transform your body into a liquid and try and go down the nearby drain, you’d lose your clothe and potentially part of your biomass if you can’t get all of you out of your clothing. However you’d escape without any potential gun shots to your body. Difficulty 3 / + 3 power control F. Harden your head and head-butt him and then while he’s distracted try and get his gun [Difficulty 2 / +2 power control[/i] G. Something else. Abilities: Spoiled Brat: Whenever you gain momentum you gain 1 extra, however when you lose a roll you lose 1d6 for the next roll (minimum of 1) Lazaruise fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Feb 9, 2017 |

You know that your body won't replace large pieces of mass that is dropped off and not reattached, You still have a scar on your forehead from the piece missing due to the bucket attack. But you have slightly more fine control over your ability now and this you'd sloughing off the top layer of your skin essentially, parts that replenish naturally with time, though if you drop too much your basically be giving yourself an unneeded skin graft.

Okay, I'm changing my vote to 1B 2A because we're so confident and cocky that the government wanting to talk to us seems like a great idea. I mean, of COURSE they do! It's about time!

I suddenly just realized that I mixed up the first set of dice rolls and we definitely shouldn't have succeeded there. Oh well, consider this one a freebie, i mean, we did have to gain some power control sometime if we were ever going to progress anyways. Whoopsies

Sorry for the length of time between updates and the shortness of this current one, I've be extremely swamped at work lately. Military life is fun. -~-~-~-~-~-~ !!! Gain Arrogant Quality !!! “Its about drat time you guys came to get me, I've been waiting for years now.” You say condescendingly to the man in the suit. He lifts his eyebrows from beneath his sunglasses for a moment before his face returns to stone. “Ah, a bit of an attitude on you I see. We can make use of that, but for now I think you'll need to learn some manners” he says in return. Suddenly he reaches into his gun holster and pulls out a taser aimed directly at you. You attempt to harden your skin but your reaction time was slightly off and you are hit with 10,000 volts of electricty. Before you black out you hear the man say “Red Bear, the subject is ready for transport. Shocked the arrogant bastard for good measure though. We'll have to work on his attitude.” Its dark and your whole body is numb. If you're still numb it can't have been too long since you attempted to block the taser. Your sense of touch should return in a short time but for now you literally can't tell what position your body is in since you can't see anything. You attempt to say something but you can't move your mouth, it must be taped shut. God you hope it's only taped, what if they sewed it?! You begin to think of all the movies you've seen about the government kidnappings and wondered what you had got yourself into. If these people were even with the government. You wonder if you should attempt to change yourself to get away. 1. You've never attempted to use your power during your cool-down numbness period, you're not even sure if it would work but if it did you were going to... A. Turn liquid. Ooze away from wherever they got you, though if they have you in a container you won't be going anywhere Difficulty 3 / Power Control +3 B. Turn your lips incredibly hard, attempt to cut through whatever they have over your mouth to say something. Difficulty 1 / Power Control +1 C. Do nothing, it probably wouldn't work anyways during the cool-down, and you don't know what would happen if you tried. Difficulty 0 / +0 Power Control D. Something Else Difficulty ? / Power Control ? Abilities / Qualities: Spoiled Brat: Whenever you gain power control you gain 1 extra, however when you lose a roll you lose 1d6 for the next roll (minimum of 1) Arrogant: Choose to add an extra +2 to any roll, however if you fail reset your power control to +0 -~-~-~-~ Little behind the scenes info, since we chose to be confident in interview we gained the Confident quality which would have given us the ability to add a +1 with the penalty of losing a power control if we failed, however since we also went with the Man in the Suit willingly and without caution that confidence became Arrogance which you can see at the end of the post. Do you guys want me to keep these potential qualities a mystery for you to possibly piece together through your knowledge of our current personality or would you rather me be more overt about what we could potentially gain (or lose sometimes) by the choices you make?
