SkyLion Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 ...and part of my character. Though she quit when she turned Nova (doesn't get her high anymore, and her powers *do*). Pre eruption, she was featured as cover-girl and feature article/interview for High Times magazine. The cover depicted her tastefully nude, covered only in Cannabis. The article talked about her support for legalization or at least decriminalization along the lines of the Dutch. Not only did she partake but finished med school by age 19 and is a world champ snowboarder.,, Regarding it not being a performance enhancing drug, that may be true in the technical sense but I know many snowboarders who wouldn't dream of hitting the slopes before getting high. It adds to their experience and the ones who are my friends say it taps them into a "flow" and taps into their creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Cottus...i thought we had already gathered? Didn't Archer post that Sean locked his door and made his way down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centimane Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yeah, I just edited my post. I missed that bit at the bottom of archer's last post where the Doc and (I would assume) Harald made their way back to the rest of us. However, according to Zeke's last post, Lukas is still off packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centimane Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Ok, I went and edited the novaphile so that it doesn't say anything about her possibly being the strongest anymore. Though I had already considered the distinct possibility that there were other novas (including Pax) who were probably as strong or stronger, after I posted the above I got to thinking about what Alex said about Pax objecting to my wording. And considering how Pax is portrayed in the books, this is actually a really good point. Even if he isn't stronger than Lorena (and he probably is), chances are good he wouldn't react too well to a Utopia-produced novaphile implying that he's weaker than some auxiliary member.So good call Alex.

ProfPotts Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wow! Amazing art Cottus! ::blink ::biggrin And good call on the whole Pax thing Alex... yes, the man has ego 'issues'... ::sly Besides Pax, however (& possibly Mal, but he doesn't show off the muscles as much - just dresses in outlandish pseudo-Egyptian garb... ::rolleyes ) Lorena may well be the next strongest Nova on the planet.

Alex Green Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thank you Cottus and Prof.RE: Mal's StrengthI think Strength is Mal's dump stat. His lowest stat is Mega-3, and that's probably it. So Pax and Lorena are stronger than Mal... not that it's going to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Green Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 *Tickinng? I didn't notice... Maybe. One second. Maybe I show you?*Floating invisibly above the bomb Haunt turns inward - visualising the connection between himself and Bridger as a fine silver thread similar to the one connecting him to his own flesh body. Then, focussing on the image of the bomb, and his perceptions of it (spatial and otherwise), he pushes these images gently along the the thread.Finally, listening carefully, he pushes his shimmering astral head through the bomb's casing to take a look inside - and passing these perceptions along as well...*Pretty kool, huh?*Hey Prof, How much of that do I get? The book is more than a little unclear on this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real telepath?Yup. ::tongueYou've established the link and likely aren't resisting so it should be a piece of cake to give you the memory.Sorry, but you may have noticed that Pyotr is a complete geek and is by design intensely bad at expressing anything other than ise cracks. Sort of a Russian Hiro Nakamura. His powers sort of blend into one ability - he astrally projects and is able to speak (telepathy) and interact (TK) at a mundane level, but it's not a power suite, so I presume he can do things like attach astral cords to people and 'speak' to them even when they're not at his perceived location.

SkyLion Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 you are using distance scan ESP for the Astral Projection too yeah?

I came up with the concept and wrote his eruption story and asked prof if it was possible within the rules and he came up with the crunchy numbers.Haunt is not tough for a Nova, but it would be very hard to think up a better scout or spy concept.

Ayre el KaBeer Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm alive! I'm still ill but I have made it through the worst of this sequence of disease, I didn't realise working in a school and living with two children was going to expose me to so much plague but I'm happy to say I can hear in my right again (not at good as before unfortunately). Going to try to get a post out today, it's a slow day at work the servers report no serious error and all the toner has been changed so I might have time to catch up on QZ while I wait for a hysterical teacher to tell me how her children "didn't" install limewire and downloaded 43,673 virus' on a department of education laptop for the umpteenth time this year.I say again, I live!

Ayre el KaBeer Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks guys. I made a post the day of my previous post here where Will rejects Sakura Masters coming on to him and explains that he's aware of how bathing with the daughter of his host might not be too good for his health. I guess I'll have to retype it sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
