  • The Great Manifestor War has begun! *laughs* allow me to explain... Some devilish devisors have taken on the task of pitting two manifestors against each other through the use of a popularity poll app! My character; Phantasmagoria, has taken the bait.

    The war consists of cosplaying popular characters from TV, whomever plays it best (or at least the one most voted for by the student body) gets popularity points. Thing is... I thought of using an already existing character to be Phantasmagoria's adversary; there are Façade and Penny Dreadful... But Façade seems to only be able to manifest costumes (I might be wrong, anyone please confirm), and Penny Dreadful is far too uninterested to do anything but zombie-like creatures and keeping the existence of goth alive.

    Flower could only cosplay Poison Ivy, and by then she will have graduated.

    Are there any other Beltane-style manifestors in Gen 2?

    The Writing On The Wall wrote: “Pretty much,” Krystal responded with a chuckle. “Façade is a manifestor and creates these shells around herself, that look completely and totally real. I mean, she can even make clothes.”

    “Impressive,” Laura said from beside me. “She certainly didn’t look like she was wearing any kind of mask.”

    Krystal nodded at that, then in an almost conspiratorial voice, she said, “And get this… Façade has some kind of social anxiety disorder, where she can’t deal with other people very well, so she creates these new personas to hide behind. One day she might look and act like some kind of goth, and the next,” she gestured in the direction that Façade had gone, “you get this.”

    It appears that manifestors on the level of Beltane, Farrago, Horrorshow, and Robert Rose, in terms of effective mass, durability, and adaptability, are well over the power level for Gen 2.

  • Power mimic who copies Phan's powers and has a similar sense of humor is my suggestion.

  • Thanks for answering, Null!

    Yes! I read that too. I asked because I thought that maybe Krystal had only explained a portion of her powers. Which could only be confirmed or denied by the author who created Façade. *cross-fingers* I'm hoping she can apply her manifesting abilities in varied ways.

    And regarding the power level thing... It would make sense. But let us remember that manifestations are but fancy, tangible illusions, and Krystal proves to be very skilled with her powers, so maybe there are manifestors not limited by their matrixes, they just haven't been explored yet. In any case... My muse refuses to pound out any more manifestors so I'm really hoping there is at least one in Gen 2.

  • Thanks for answering, Cryptic!!

    It could fit the role, but I sort of wanted some sort of manifestor rivalry of sorts. Ditto appears to be a good enough candidate though, makes me wonder if she's gone the Mimeo-route and studied up accross the many powers.
