Access Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 After struggling with it for much too long, I have adapted my magnetic defenses into a sort of offense as well. I have slight control over metal objects and magnetic fields. Sure it's not impressive in our world nowadays, but it's great to see my struggling payoff.Has anybody else managed to manifest their powers in a different way after struggling with them for a while. I had been messing with this since I've erupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 That seems to be the only way I can grow at all. I've got a very good grasp of what I do, and applying it in new ways is how I get new abilities.If you can perceive quantum, doing so while attempting to learn new abilities appears to help (me, at least).

billy Horrorshow Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Man, the only thing I've been working on since the frickin' DAWN OF TIME (or so it feels) is getting the whole Superman Invincibility thing. Surviving explosions and other sorts of Horrible DOOM just isn't merchandising-friendly when it rips all your skin off or burns most of an arm off, etc. Doesn't hurt and I'm fine...but man. I'm so jealous of those "Shrug off bullets and Look oh so pretty at the same time" boys & girls.Still, the "zombie won't die" thing does help sell horror films. I remember one of Raja's guys actually saying..."Now if we detonate the explosives on your face right before we start filming everything should be fine."But to really answer your question Bandwidth: The only power I've been able improve is smelling people's fear. Used to just be pretty general. Now I can search by: "Who is afraid of Clowns right now?" Kind of fun. Used it to track the guy who stole my fucking wallet back in March.

Jager Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Bandwidth, exactly what allowed you to round the curve and achieve this new effect.To answer your question:Yes, I have. For me, it revolves around finding different ways to see my interactions with the universe around me.Billy, sometimes looking really, really dead can be an asset. Don't knock it.

Ian 'Very Bad' Blakely Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Okay Bandwith, it's lesson time.You: "Hey hey everyone out there. Here's what I can do now!!!!"Jager: "Hey, I can do something new. Aint' gonna tell you what it is though."One gives the unpleasant people in your life a big smiley face. The other makes them nervous.

The other makes them nervous.I guess it comes down to who makes up your "unpleasant people" demographic. Right now for me it's that obnoxious smelling guy that's renting the room above me, a few executives back at N!, and two ex-girlfriends. Far too small an audience to really worry about what I do and say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I'm constantly learning new abilities. It was all stuff I was told I could do though. So I'm just tapping into stuff I wasn't quite sure how to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Well let's look at it this way. I don't have any unfriendly folks after me at the moment, and if there are any after me, it's not like this would truly make their job any harder. You guys worry about life to much I don't see how you have time to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 In theory, Bandwidth, that is why you have me on your team. To make the bad-people-out-to-hurt-you's job that much harder. He's a Magnetic Genius with pechance for confusing Peanut Butter with Particle Fusion. He's a Mystery Man with a past so convoluted, even he doesn't know who he is. They Fight Crime!

Of course now you have to do one for each member of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Unabashedly offtopic:He's a Movie Star with the powers of the undead. He's a Mystic Chemist who's easily distracted by intellectual conversation. They Fight Crime!Back to the topic at hand:On the one hand, I can easily agree with VB's point. Don't give away good intel about your abilities. On the other hand, Bandwidth is about to star in a crime fighting reality TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Of course if you're really good you can give as much as you like and still leave them none-the-wiser, coz you can always come up with a new way to use an old power. Of course you can also take the point of view that if anything you say might help the development of a fellow Nova then screw your own personal safety anyways I did recently become able to manifest a new ability. I had struggled with it for ages as well so this is even on topic. I became able to gain control over my physical adaptions. I erupted with an ability to adapt my physical form, but these adpations were not under my control. If I went underwater then I became like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, in space my mouth closed up, posture altered and I looked silvery. After some considerable effort I was able to gain control over these adaptions and I now no longer need to look weird when I expose myself to different environments unless I so choose. Took a while but my 'power' realised what I consciously knew anyway, even with the changes in my physical form there is no way I should be able to survive in some of the environments I can. Clearly something more than simple biology was at work here I reasoned. Turned out to be true. Conversely I am now able to exercise considerable control over my physical form at will. So it was actually by learning to turn something off that I got the ability to turn on something new. I find one of the more interesting things about changing shape is that you also gain control over your internal structure and can even create organs that have no direct parallel in normal biology. You look unchanged on the outside but inside it's a whole different story. Consider for example those organs that create powerful chemicals with profound effects on the body and consider being able to enhance those organs or come up with new ones. Dude. You have. NEVER Been so. FUCKING. HIGH. In. Your. Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 I'm about to be exposing myself constantly through the airwaves of television. I figure if I have no secrets going into the project, it will just make it that much easier for me not having to worry about hiding anything.

Long Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ya got a point there Bandwidth. As it is I've been working on my temporal manipulation for ages. Accellerating and decellerating is simple enough, but stopping time? talk about a serious headache. "Ryu, are we gonna die?" "Probably." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
