Aberrant RPG - Yourself, the Nova

Recommended Posts

A fun mental exercise to share with the rest of us. See how you compare! ::cool

If you were to *pop* erupt as a Nova right this minute:

1. What primary power, or suite of powers, do you think you'd have?

2. What primary power, or suite of powers, do you wish you'd have?

Well, since eruption is usuallu a traumatic experience, or triggered by one.... and I'm in front of the computer right now.... The only thing that would trigger an eruption would be a slow connection or insane amounts of spam or popups.

Thus: Cyberkinesis...

What power suite do I want? Spacial mastery or Megnetic Mastery. Great stuff there and its hard as hell *not* to get rich with them.

What would I have? I do tech support for printers and my hobby is working on computers...I also do customer support a lot.

Powers gained:

Domination (your printers problem has to do wit hthe software...different department)

Cyberkenesis

Mega-Chr and Manip

I'll add my two bits in...

1. I'd likely end up having something like bioluminescence. That's my odd luck and irony. Though I'd find a use for it somehow, and streaking would have a whole new dimension of fun. ::laugh

2. I'd love to have Flight with Hypermovement. Maybe Gravitokinesis, so I can walk on walls. ::tongue

I'd probably end up with mega-cha, mega-int, mega-wits and mega-man to become the terror of the courtrooms and negotiation tables...:P Oh, and mega-sta for those long hours and teleport to be everywhere at once.

What I'd wish for...well I don't have any use for combative powers...So Warp I guess to go anywhere and bring someone with me. Flight to see if those flying dreams were pretty accurate...:P And uhmmm, X-ray vision to uhmmm see things...yeah...and mega-sta + adaptation to scuba-dive without bulky equipment (so no scuba I guess) and bioluminescence to see something there.

I'd be happy with Flight, Teleport, Matter Creation and Temporal Manipulation (transportation, food, and a way to serious screw with my players and still make it to work on time... ::bigsmile ).

What I would probably end up with Mega-Wits, Mega-Dex, Mega-Int, and Teleport (say something, dodge the pot thrown at me because of what I said, know not to say it again, and solve my tardiness issue ::blush ).

Mega-Stamina (with a slew of enhancements), Mega-Intelligence and Mega-Wits would have to be my top picks- although the others are all great if I could get them!

Powers... hmm... ::cool Spatial manipulation, or some form of FTL travel that could be used to get around the Local Cluster (that's a galactic cluster, not a star cluster!) without getting myself hopelessly lost out in the middle of intergalactic space. Telepathy, Flight, Hyperflight, Armor, and Invulnerability are all no-brainers for that scenario as well.

(And if you haven't already guessed, I was the token space-travel nut in my gaming group, so I've had a while to think about this little question. ::hehe )

I'd want to explore the universe, so:

Mega-Stamina W/Adaptability(Survive anywhere/without food ::cool )

High Mega-Perception w/Electromagnetic Vision&Quantum Attunement(Advanced sensory analysis of new places, orientiering ::shocked )

Mega-Intelligence w/Linguistic Genius&Eidetic Memory(Talking with the natives, orientiering, non need to store sensistive information. ::hehe )

Mega-Charisma w/Soothe(Calm any rowdy natives)

Telepathy(Talking with the natives, learning about them quickly and discretely)

Flight w/Underwater Flight extra, Hypermovement(Flight), Warp w/Combat Warp extra(Quick movement in all environments)

Forcefield w/Impervious(For any unforseen dangers)

Node Spark(Developing new powers/abilities quickly in response to new situations)

High level of Psychic Shield w/Impervious(Protect my mind against hostile telepathic forces)

That's 'bout it. I'd say goodbye to my friends and family, settle some old scores, then I'd be off, first around the solar system, then Alpha Centauri, and then the Universe is the limit! ::smiley5 ::teleport ::biggrin ::biggrin ::biggrin ::biggrin ::biggrin

The only problem with mega-int and mega-wits is that I think it'd make me miserable. Hang out with a bunch of total morons for a couple hours and then imagine spending you're whole life with the dim-witted...

I'll add time control to my list now...:) I don't care as much about immortality as I do about the possibility of sleeping eight hours in a five minute interval (if that makes any sense...) Many a time have I wished for more sleep while finishing off a paper or factum...though immortality is nice too especially since you can share it...(I'd hate to be the only one not aging...it'd be depressing to see my girlfriend get old.)

1] For myself, I -know- that I have the desire to see how other people live, to get on with people effortlessly and to have my luck run good for once. There isn’t a solid theme there, but a nova version of myself (with the unconscious ‘wish fufillment’ that eruptions have partake of) would probably end up with something along the lines of:

Mega-Appearance (Appearance Alteration, Yin Yang{An amusing enhancement I put up on N!Prime ages ago and seems to have vanished from their lists...}), Mega-Charisma (Natural Agitator), Mega-Wits (Artistic Genius), and enough smattering of skills to let me at least -try- almost anything.

Hmm. Now I’m tempted to actually put down exact stats that are appearing in my head, but that is a bit much of an ego stroking exercise. Unless anybody would be actually interested..?

2] If I could pick and choose freely, I’d be tempted by some of the above but the Mega-Mental attributes would sing their sirens call irresistibly so I would nab them and Cyberkinesis probably. Honest I’m just a random person sitting back and making easily supporting any lifestyle I care for using royalties on a few programs. ::biggrin

I'd want to try things I can't try now; exploring the Amazon, delving deep into jungles and doing that whole Indiana Jones thing.

So... absorption, adaptibility, one mega in each of the physical attributes, quantum conversion, and a big healthy dose of luck :)

? ? ?

Powers I would have? Well perhaps some temporal Manipulation........

To get away from the guy who wants to shoot me for ultimately getting the 3 wishes thing ::biggrin ::laugh ::laugh ::laugh (an insider joke between a friend of mine and me)

Realy: I would be tainted as hell.

(read: I don´t care as long as i can rake in millions and millions ::biggrin )

Ok what I would want ....oh Time Travel, Temporal Manipulation, Crosstime Travel, Spatial Supremacy (thanx to tinker's site), Adaptability, as well as, Warp & Far Warp with some Mastery. ::devil I want want much do I? This is so I can go anywhere, anywhen, any possible past or future, & have a cool extra-dimensional summer home. I would also want Quantum Supremacy, so I could make more novas. & I would have Eufiber, must have Eufiber.

Now what I would get would either be one of 2 things. Either I would be a mentalist with good Mega Mental Attributes (i.e. beefing up my strong suit) or I would be a Mega-Social & Physical stud boy with some Armor (i.e. beefing up my weak suits).

Oops, dropped in on this too late, but I'll forcibly hurl in my two cents anyway. I actually wrote myself up once as a baseline, but it did evolve into a nova (I have no idea how) and I ended up with scales, long tendrils extending from the shoulders, Quantum Bolt (acid spit), Megadexterity and Megaperception. I'm not sure where that came from.

If I really did erupt, however, I would probably end up with Temporal Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, and Megadexterity as my meditative nature kicks in.

And like Dormammu said: tainted as hell ::squid

1. What primary power, or suite of powers, do you think you'd have?

2. What primary power, or suite of powers, do you wish you'd have?

This one should be pretty easy.. ready?

1. Mirage, Biolumenesce, Intuition

2. Time Travel, Bodymorph: Electricity, Matter Creation

Not in any particular order...

I'd have a few points in mega-wits, and be one of the first (and only) Nova stand up comedians.

Actually, I'd think Megacharisma and Megamanipulation would serve you better in that capacity, Weng Weng - don't comedians write out their stuff beforehand anyway, or does "stand up" mean extemporaneous?

Why "quantum conversion"?

All I want is teleportation and Mega-Stamina (Adaptation)....And maybe some sort of ability toi speak a huge number of languages....

RE: Stand-ups

Most stan-ups a mix between written material and improv (a lot of written material, but a lot based off the crowd and things that have happened since the writing); also, Rapport and Perform are both Wits-abilities...

I'm not sure that I'd want nova powers...I have this weird feeling that I'd get dicked over and just be really really mediocre.

But weird feelings aside, I think I'd have a few dots of mega intelligence, mega wits, a few of mega charisma, alot of mega manipulation ::devil ,maybe one of mega appearance and then flight! The mega attributes fit me pretty well, and I've always wanted to fly more than anything else...

What would I want?

Flight...and telekinesis...and telepathy. and lots of mega attributes so I could just be real sweet...

Lessee now...

Obviously discounting situational eruption ( I don't know what I'd get from what made me erupt):

Flight (I want to fly!)

Telepathy (I've always wanted to read minds)

Mega-Appearance (I dunno, a change from reality ::bigsmile )

Mega-Charisma (I like to make people feel good)

Mega-Intelligence (I'm smart, but I could handle smarter)

Mega-Wits (Always have the perfect comeback)

Telekinesis (I'd love this, too)

I'd probably end up with Cyberkinesis, even though it doesn't really grab me. I use computers a lot. I might also end up with Mega-Strength or Dexterity.
