    • OMG... I just had this weird, NSFW, idea...

    A boy who was a big Babylon 5 fan has an unusual form of GSD: he was turned into a Centauri-like form. Completely.

    For the uninitiated: the Centauri look superficially identical humans with odd tastes for hairdos... but just superficially, and only with their clothes on. They don't have easily-accessible major blood vessels in their wrists, for instance... and they have six tentacle-like penises. Which were shown on-screen.

    having a pouch would add to the embarrassment, I think. and then the thought that she might give birth to little blind fetuses that have to crawl to her pouch.

    Actually, Null... you might just be sadistic enough to make this girl a reality.

    Sadistic would be making him explain how he still has six months of nursing to go until the final due date.

    Prehensile penes, at that. They proved surreptitiously useful for Ambassador Mollari when cheating at playing poker, though you do need to watch where you put them and what is going on around them - that mug of cold beer looked painfully heavy when carelessly being placed on such a sensitive appendage.

    My ever growing list of rainy day characters has had an entry for a while now about a girl with the codename Kusi (Finnish for piss). She's got what should be an extremely abrasive personality and actively tries to insult and antagonize everyone around her, but her cuteness aura undermines everything she says.

    Now would the cuteness aura be a psychic or magic effect?

    • Bad idea: Teaching Jericho how to make Irish Coffee with some suggestions on optimal coffee roasting techniques, then handing him a bottle of Shine's devisor Irish whisky and a bag of green coffee beans from Jobe's first batch of bonsai coffee trees (she took up Bush-shido in order to save space in her lab). Is there such a thing as Devisor whipped cream? We may find out soon.

    That would be up to Jobe or one of the other biodevisors if you're hoping to churn up an exotic array of fatty acids in milkfat. Jericho could be kept busy trying to keep the producers from developing chronic mastitis.

    Nice idea wrong cause. Fobar can breath air just fine.
    But his bones are made of cartage and would be crushed with out the support of the water. A good anty/low gravity system could get him out of the tank. Or even standing near Dr. heavy.

    • In fact, it references he needs clean water so it doesn't clog his sinusses.
    That doesn't sound like air breathing to me...

    • It said that he needs to stay in the tank do to having cartage instead of bones. And can breath water. Not that he can't breath air.
    I've bin assuming that he is amphibious. At least as far as breathing.

    It would be possible that there would be Elementary-school age offspring from the initial Drows that Jobe made. Stick Nikki with a hyper-active Elementary school drowling.

    • A girl with a vaguely asian or native american appearance with i and l class warping and an esper ability named Jenny. Gets occasional flashes of memories that violate the universes rules, but still feel like they did happen to her somewhere. Eventually able to teleport between dimensions. Gets an occasional compulsion to shift across dimensions with little warning. May feel more uneasy around class X entities than most.

    I'm joking, but it does bring up an interesting question... if a body's autonomic systems are functioning, and it's still 'alive', but there is nobody inhabiting it, could someone ( or something) move in and set up house?

    As I understand it, powers don't inherently follow bodies.

    GSD almost certainly does, because those traits cannot be turned off.
    MATD or CTA, once the body stabilizes at the end result probably does.
    There's no guarantee for mutant powers to do so.
    Magical inheritances would depend on the letter of the underlying Contract.
    Channeled, Imbued, and Batson Factors aren't very likely to remain with the body.

    To the extent that probability was affected in her vicinity, the odds tended to be stacked against her more often than not. There's no guarantee that that was a mutant warping effect.

    • All this avatar discussion here while I'm re-reading Kakao 79% put my muse and I in an very interesting headspace today.

    So...Trash Fairy avatar? Nature spirit of the Anthropocene! Spirit of landfills. Just so we're clear.

    I want her, yes her, to be well-kept in appearance and poised most of the time. Maybe a hint of garbage smell, which she covers with the correct amount of perfume (so not gagging, overpowering, just normal). So noticeable right after she showers, but only then. And of course, she has since learned how to golf.

    I'm struggling with a powerset though. I've thought about some sort of compacting warping ability, methane and other gas types of manifestor, or even a decaying ability, but nothing seems to fit as well as I'd like.

    One of the novels written in the Mage: The Ascension RPG narrative universe had a main character who was a Shaman who was actively connected to the Spirit of Rubbish.

    Some really interesting narratives related to his Awakening, and his initial connection to the spirit.

    The (always temporary) offering altars that he made to help empower his spirit, were usually set in or near dumpster's, or using ashtrays... :dry:

    You could make her a smoker, who would have a valid religious exemption to the Whateley rules.

    A marker fossil for the start of anthropocene has been proposed: Gallus gallus domesticus (Cue bad jokes about implications for the Out of Africa theory)

    What most laymen writing their "100 million years from now" stories don't understand is that from a geological perspective, landfills are just very small deposition centers of unconsolidated subaerial sediment and plastics are just another carbon source. One or two dumps might survive in a recognizable form, but that's about it.

    FWIW, having an indolic "dirty" note or two is what makes many perfumes smell sexy across cultural boundaries. Skatole is part of what goes into tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom notes. Quinolines and pyridines are also strongly scented waste markers, but at low concentrations in a perfume isobutyl quinoline is said to smell "Leather, Green, Woody, Powerful. Pyralone is finer, more aromatic and tobacco-like, and has less of a dry, earthy character than Butyl Quinoline Secondary." Think Cabochard, or Bandit.

    She'll need some hefty regen for her digestive tract, but if she can chew it she can eat it. Anything. If it was alive, it won't be, even bitten off of biohazardous regens. She doesn't quite pass lumps of brown coal, but it might as well be compost or peat. Her urine might be loaded with transition metals, caffeine, 17a-ethinylestradiol, benzoates, salicylates, amphetamine, etc.

    People should think about that before pissing her off. All that methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, terpenes, etc. had to go somewhere. Her burps may be disgusting, but they're also highly flammable.

    Personally, with the right applied perfumes (maybe a hesperide, or something from BPAL with few base notes), her smell ranges from "I really, really need a bath" to "F* me now. Hell, bring your girlfriend too."


    If you want to get heavy into the death and decay symbology, remember that Kali is also a mother goddess. The entire dorm's cycle synchs to HER. Don't count on just a pill or shot on your date tonight if you want to avoid pregnancy.

    • I think the limitations that null0 included make her quite a bit more distinct. I did have to look up Matter-Eater Lad though. ;)

    - "If she can chew it she can eat it."
    This would limit her more towards the things that are supposed to end up in landfills, and not the chain link fences around them. The hardness of her teeth and bite pressure can be set to balance her out a little better. Maybe super tough enamel, but normal bite strength.

    - The other type of waste.
    The peat suggestion is good, but that make me think more of terra preta , which might be a better fit. It's much more of a mix. If she's filtering and reclaiming trace levels toxins to emit through pores to mix with perfume agents, or wherever else, metals and other trace elements could be recycled as well.

    I may want to avoid the whole shrine thing because of Carson's edict. But chewing cigarette butts like gum could be a thing!

    Oh, I can work with this!

    The shrine thing in Mage is more the form of personal bargains that you can make with spirits, so wouldn't involve worship, but may not be applicable to this narrative universe.

    Also, i recall around 25-30 years ago seeing a tv program about a frenchman who could digest almost anything. He was given an award for this, which he promptly dismantled and ate.

    The one limitation that he had, was the one laid on him by his dentist, as he was getting too much wear in his teeth, due to chewing on timber and light metals. He ended up carrying a set of wirecutters/tin-snips everywhere, so he could get metal objects down to a swallowable size.

    Note: that this was an american tv show about a european weirdo, so may have been in the category of stories that were "Too Good To Check!"

    • Sorry for not checking earlier, but a magic personification of the Anthropocene is very interesting to me. Nature is nothing if not determined and if something shows up in a significant enough amount, it will start to seep into nature. Calthemites are a beautiful example as a natural geologic formation that only forms in urban environments.

    Since the Anthropocene is essentially an entire geological era, it does make sense to narrow it down to something like trash. That then got me thinking about the possibility of a plastic elemental. There may be multiple types, but they all have common characteristics like malleability and being very difficult to decompose. This could manifest as a minor shifter trait with some enhanced durability. There have been various microorganisms that have evolved specifically to digest plastic. If these creatures are a part of nature, then their diet would have to be as well.

    Also, a trash fairy would probably also be immune to the fey's natural allergy to synthetics.

    Nothing about that allergy sounds natural to me. Bees do chemistry to create their hives. Coral does chemistry to build their reefs. We do chemistry to make plastic. Why do the Sidhe have an adverse reaction to the things we build, but not to the things other creatures build? Because those other creatures aren't threatening to outshine them. We are, and it burns them to know it. Literally.

    Of course, the Sidhe and their sycophants will spout some BS about how it's really due to plastic being "unnatural." But what is nature? It's just a word humans made up to describe the parts of reality that we didn't create. The universe doesn't give a shit; plastic is no more or less special than a bird's nest or a snail's shell. The Sidhe are the ones shitting themselves over it. They've done this to themselves, and they've done it so hard it affects their whole species, even those sourced from human stock without all the Sidhe psychological baggage.

    • Allergies are funny. We know that some Sidhe have allergies to synthetics, but no real evidence that all Sidhe share this allergy. And it is more like an allergy than, say, the Sidhe's mystical weakness to cold iron.

    An allergy can be described as an overreaction from your immune system regarding an otherwise innocuous substance. You can be allergic to a substance you have never been exposed to; in fact, one treatment for allergies (desensitizing therapy) is repeated exposition in controlled circumstances so your immune system gets "used" to it. Over-sheltered children, who are not exposed to natural antigens when young, are more prone to developing asthma and allergies later in life.

    It's not too unreasonable that a Sidhe-type mutant -- who, essentially, get an almost-fully-grown body from a species that hasn't been around for a long time, without the benefit of going through childhood in it -- would be prone to allergic reactions from antigens that weren't around back before the Sundering. Everybody treats it as a mystical issue like cold iron, but perhaps it isn't; perhaps it's just that Nikki should have gone to a competent allergologist and undergone desensitization therapy.

    Animals are a natural part of the ecology.

    Every animal part, and, animal product is natural.

    Humans are animals, therefore, everything that we create is natural.

    So when you sit in your house, your garden, your crowded rush hour street, or your local "toxic waste" dump, you can celebrate being in the natural world... >:)

    Look at the bacteria that thrives in harsh conditions.

    There are bacteria that live comfortably in undersea vents with pressure levels of 100's of atmospheres, and temperatures of super-heated steam.

    Life will always find a way to exploit the differences between energy-potential in all kinds of ecological niches.

    The distinction between human and nature is an artificial one created wholly by ourselves. (Usually as a form of the de-humanisation that's a prelude to exploitation. As a species we tend to de-identify with the out-group that's being screwed over, in order for us to suffer from less psychological damage.)

    This would suggest that the "Sidhe Allergies" would be more of a magical nature, rather than a biological one.

    Sir Lee's suggestion of allergeno-therapy for de-sensitizing Sidhe would be worth trying, ftom the pov of biology, but it may also be worth exploring how this fits with the Pattern Theory extensions relating to magic.

    We know that Mythos-Creatures/Class-X-Entities come from outside our universe's normal frame of reference. They are so alien that even seeing them disrupts our sanity, and makes our heads explode. (Literally.)

    But, as with vaccination for biological organisms works, so to with Class X entities, eg. Josie Gilman.

    There's at least half-a-dozen PhD's worth of research there.

    It's combat focused, right? So are the nanites smart enough to do a Destiny's Wave thing, and mod the bod to sword-sword?

    IIRC, there's other magic swords like Destiny's Wave that are bonded and give people sword-sword powers?

    • Bad idea I'm using: Naked mole rat "miraculous".
    Manifestation imprints on Miraculous Ladybug's concept, and Rufus from Kim Possible.
    The manifestation generates as a little flying 'mole rat kwami' and when it goes dermal mode creates a skin toned 'magic suit' that seems to give Val Barbie anatomy.
    thinking one of her holdouts is a bluff nudifier.

    In an old D&D game, one of the NPC races got tired of always being poor. The result? Troll Sausage.

    Hey, Gary! It's your turn in the grinder!
    What? It's only been five days!
    Yeah, but the murder-hobos killed Steve, so we only got a quarter-day out of him.
    Why not toss murder-hobos in grinder?
    Dude! Are you crazy? Unless one of them's a paladin you don't know what kind of diseases they got: some of that shit can't be killed with fire! Think of the customers!
    Right. Sorry.
    Look. Mabelle is headed out to re-train as a Paladin* of Lugh so we can get a foot through the door into the artisinal sausage business. Once they're broken in, the don't get diseases.
    Why can't we use Purify Food and Drink?
    Gary? Steve was our village cleric.
    Bummer.
    ...
    Let's go with my left leg first. I don't think it healed right after I took an arrow in the kneecap, so watch out for adhesions when you trim it.

    On a somewhat related note: referring to a teacher's behavioral clone (that shares half their DNA) by a word that can refer to a pet, especially after some point between 2009 and 2010, depending on how long it took Susan Kade-Chambers to earn her nickname...

    I have Shaggy ( Norvile "Slim"; Avatar of Slender Man) and Velma (Val "No name yet"; Manifester who's manifestion could lead to WU Dermal syms) .
    So I need a Fred, Daphne, and a Scoob.

    • Fred and Daphne can be your garden-variety exemplars. They had no particular abilities or personality traits other than looking good/being the "Jock and Cheerleader" couple.
    As for Scooby... PLENTY of options. Let me see, we can begin with any of the "werewolf"-type students: Techwolf, Bloodwold and such. We could also go with one of the oversized-canine-companions available: Buttons in Gen1, Cookie in Gen2

    • Daphne should be an exemplar, yes, but maybe give her a mild attraction aura she can't shut off. She did get kidnapped a number of times. Or maybe a probability mangler, ending up in danger is a family trait even. (edit: Ooo, maybe a family curse!)

    Fred should be part of the Gearheads. It is his van, after all.

    Fred and Daphne aren't really a couple, and go their separate ways often. There were a number of episodes where it was just Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne and Scrappy. But Fred and Daphne are hinted to be mutually attracted to each other, so you could also play up on that.

    That makes me think I will use Rick as I was already thinking he would go to Poe and not as a Changeling.

    Fred should also be a low-level Gadgeteer, after all he was always coming up with the traps that they would use to catch the villain.

    Scooby also seems to have a probability mangler trait, as he inevitably screws up Fred's trap, but also ends up catching the bad guy at the end of the story.

    • I referenced the same thing in the Lost & Found a while back, but Xenoblade 2 could work surprisingly well as a crossover. (Not as well as it does with Worm, but still.)

    2 polished cross-shaped crystals, one an emerald green, the other an amethyst violet, on closer inspection appear to be incredibly complex devises that act as supercomputers. Despite being labeled as devises, they also seems to interact with ambient essence to a degree.

    They would likely be found among similar, but significantly less powerful and polished blue crystals that resemble truncated octahedra.

    Should someone attempt to power the crystals with some amount of essence...

    (As for how they're here, they could simply have been crafted by a devisor or team earlier, or you can bring in time-travel or alternate universes.
    Warning: Spoiler! [ Click to expand ]
    )



    For a completely different crossover: pick a Class-X entity or artifact from Kirby. Any of them. (P.S. The artifacts in question might be a tad too large to securely store.) This can be anything from standard eldritch horrors, to a friendly eating contest between 2 of the most adorrifying beings in the universe. (Eating the other contestant results in immediate disqualification.) Bonus points if the Ancients and the Isokist are one and the same.

    Some variations:
    - Only one type of plant is allowed, but any type of cultivar is totally okay. Alternatively, a few types of plants may be selected.
    - Additional life forms are allowed, or are not allowed.
    - Machines are not allowed, as they are not life. Alternatively, an "overseer" miniaturized machine is allowed (no nanobots!)

    • For some reason, I feel I should mention that in an unpublished/unused film script I never got finished writing, I had a character (in a small, oddly overcast town full of odd characters) named John, who always seemed to be getting into lethal trouble whenever the visiting main characters are around, with no notice from the other townies except an old Native American couple called Nic and Zea - who would simply tell the visitors, "Don't worry, it's his way." John, of course, always reappears no matter what happens - getting killed by three strangers, getting buried alive, getting impaled on a pitchfork, getting crushed by a large stone, getting drowned in hot water...

    • Oh, I assure you, John has been this little guy's name for a very long time.

    Though like the others, he's a relative newcomer to this quaint New Hampshire village.

    I should add that the connection here was to Zea, who can look very different, depending. This shouldn't be a surprise, as she is winkte, having been born male; you wouldn't have recognized her in her wilder days as Teo.

    When he's not puffing on his pipe, Nic tells the two visitors that he is very happy to have come here because the People were so popular elsewhere, even as his own family were greatly despised. They were here in the town of Final Fossil last, as the people led by Ron Ober and his wife Tania were already here, having had so many other places they could be rather than on top of this valley. Mayor Ron graciously gave them some of their land, even though Nic didn't want it. They have been very happy to be so accepted by the tribe of Ober, Ron, and the others who came here such Efrid the fire man and Sunny Kitt (who divorced Ron's friend, Ray), none of whom are at all similar to him and his wife.

    • ^ As some superbeing made by an Artificer or something.

    Anything super weird magic in the past = Artificer.

    ----

    My OC, a really OP prophesized "Greatest Mutant" or something:

    Charity: Power Thief, Infinite Slots, Infinite Duration, Full control over time slots of power expression. (Self?)-limited by needing to having the "theft" be willing.

    I'm not sure how to justify the power mechanics being "The powers must be freely given", beyond "Self-Imposed Mental Block"... Get a Friendly PSI to do it?

    My saving grace is that she should be far, far away from Hawthorne and being given Frosty's powers, or Antenna's or anything else really OP to combine with.

    ----

    Bad Idea: Having all her taken powers active when she's asleep, but they somehow don't harm her.

    Have the power copying require maintaining a psychic connection to the donor so the donor's implementation of the power can continually be referenced in maintaining Charity's copy of it, nudging it back into alignment whenever it drifts. If the donor pushes back against the connection, the signal cuts out and Charity's implementation of that power quickly drifts out of true and then fails completely as she cannot "remember" how to create that power on her own.

    • Nice! I wanted her to have infinite distance from source, but I'll likely use your explanation.

    ----

    Also was thinking that the teachers wouldn't want her taking Hawthorneies powers 'cause how they're gonna learn control without a power to control?

    But, would allow them to be a bit more free, like Ember not having to worry about her power, and taking it back only for training, etc.

    • I forget which story (it's either a Heyoka or Roulette) that we hear Foob talking about the limits of psychic powers. A psychic connection doesn't have the same strict range limitations that you find in radio equipment because in the astral plane physical 'distance' doesn't apply, which is why Kayda can dream-walk with Debra regardless of the physical distance between them.
    Psychic's have a distance limitation because unless they limit their 'view' somehow there are too many signals to listen to, so they can't find and focus on a single mind.

    It's not hard to imagine that once Charity's connection is made it can serve as a beacon, allowing the connection to function regardless of physical distance, again like Kayda & Debra dream-walking.

    Side question: How does Charity handle powers with incompatible physical requirements? e.g: a flier may have lighter bones to reduce weight, while a brick has denser bones for extra durability. Does charity switch between them or do things go weird?

    Have you come across the concept of the "Devil's Advocate"?

    To quote one jesuit, "How do you know if he's truly moral if he hasn't been tested?"

    From a tech/engineering perspective, a design may look great on the drawing board, but it's only when it gets built that you find out whether it works or whether it catches-fire/explodes/implodes/collapses/requires-unobtainium/Insert-your-favourite-failure-mode-here.

    'Tis better to catch the fail-points early, so they can be changed before they get really expensive. :D

    "Another interesting idea blown out of the water by the torpedo of common sense." :D

    The only real failure is when you stop trying to improve your ideas and skills.

    Thanks!

    On the "Incompatible Powers" question... I dunno. I don't think she'll encounter that, where she lives... But, it depends on the cause of the body shift. If it's Exemplar or something, being constantly applied by the power, if she uses it long enough, she'll start morphing?

    Or, to fulfill the "Most Powerful Mutant EVAR" prophecy bit, she can choose what parts of the whole powerset to use and/or steal?

    But, the thing is, that the prophecy was made years ago by her Precog Diedricks Bio-Devisor "Grandmother", so not gonna be a fully accurate prophecy...

    So I'm thinking "Depends on the power". Like... Hmm... Let's go with Phase... If she took his powers, and got injured while using them, or used them while injured, his Exemplar will turn her like him?

    TTYL. Gotta go. Really wanna find that Astral Psy reference.

    • My mistake, it's from Kristin's "A Tenuous Blade" (I still don't know how to quote stories)
    """
    The emanations or energy used by those of us with psychic abilities are not typically blocked by physical objects. They don't even decay over distance in most mediums. Mostly, we are only limited by our own ability to distinguish specific psychic energies in the extremely complex background of other energies that we do not wish to experience. A good example of this would be like walking into a dark, smoky, heavily air conditioned bar where a heavy metal band is playing extremely loudy to a packed dancing crowd... after having been out in the quiet desert all afternoon. A good friend has saved you a spot at their table, even has a drink there waiting for you, and is waving and shouting at you to come join him."

    "And you can't even see not to fall down the stairs at the entrance?" the Japanese boy sitting next to Frank commented.

    "Exactly!" Louis agreed enthusiastically. "Your eyes are still adjusting to the light change your ears are still shifting to compensate for the increased volume of sound, and between the smoke and all the other motion in the room; there is nothing to distinguish one man making big gestures from anyone dancing or ordering drinks. Those means of communication aren't any larger than the other things slamming those senses while they are going through their normal adaptation process to that gives us the capability to experience both gross and refined details with the same sensory apparatus.

    Our psychic senses are similar. Every one of the billions of human beings on this planet is thinking, feeling, and engaging in the process of communicating with others for at least a two thirds of their day. And then they go to sleep and do the same thing more powerfully in an abstract uncontrolled manner. Even many of the non-sentients inhabiting the planet generate some noise in the soundscape that is the psychic ambiance. That, more than anything else, is what prevents you from sharing a conversation with a teammate on the other side of the world. Your thoughts might reach that far... but finding them amidst all the others? That is a challenge.

    • Final note on Charity for Malady:

    If your aiming for "most powerful solution" my favourite answers would be either

    1) The power intelligently synthesises abilities together, kinda like XO's shell does with machines

    OR

    2) Charity's physical properties change depending on one frame of reference, with some vague reference to quantum superpositions (e.g.: she is gravitationally low density but structurally high density)

    Of course then they'd have to have lemon based fire grenades too...

    That would give them a theme of being based around one of the most disturbingly disfunctional families in gaming lore, the Johnson family from Portal, comprised of Cave, Caroline and their daughter Chel.

    • Bad (but potentially profitable) idea: pitching a WA series idea for a comedy harem anime centered on Thunderbird and his hangers-on, with Chaka only being introduced at the beginning of the third season.

    I'm actually embarrassed to suggest this. Especially since it would be child's play to make it actually happen, were the Canon Cabal shameless enough to try. I'm pretty sure the first two seasons could be generated by an automated script-writing program fed with existing harem series scripts. The hardest part would be making Scott come off as enough of an oblivious boy-scout without it wrecking suspension of disbelief.

    (Conversely, the CC could retain some shred of dignity and self-respect by talking Shannen McMickens into writing the script; I'm guessing the "High Priestess of the Harem-nomicon" - yes, she calls herself that - would jump at the chance to write one herself, and she might even do it on spec.)

    While you could charge more for a utility belt, the number of coffeeholics compared to the number of superheroes suggests the caffeine route would be way more profitable

    Of course that depends on how much he can scale the production, as devises they don't lend themselves to mass production, unless Mobius makes a devise to produce them, and the question there is how far removed from the process can he be for it to still work. If he has to work on each one directly at some point or another, doing more specialized custom work would be more profitable
