Maybe the odds of success change based on the degree of the manipulation? This is complicated...

EDIT: Kiku had an idea; I sent it to you via PM, Talis.

That's what I was thinking, I'd just going to leave the effects of the secondary power up to the player. Nothing too serious, something like your glamor having a tiny oddity. Like the fire wall has a tiny bit of green in it. A simple slip on the ground as you are walking. Just something off that wouldn't affect the powers. Like I said, a tiny bit of bad luck you can play with. Nothing like you suddenly get struck by lightning... Because that would end up killing me too.

Which brings me into the primary power. That will be a lot more direct, like James willing a scaffolding to break it's hold and fall on someone. A tiny bit of bad luck that has disastrous effects if done right. For a gun, James wills the gun to backfire, but overall the other player has the results. The actual results and effects of bad luck are in the other player's hands, which allows for chance and probability. I think it's akin to like a wish power, James wishes something to happen and it may or may not.

So all in all, the other player can control it, just under the guise of luck.

EDIT: Also, I just want to say, I know my character (Aside from the powers) is kinda bare, but I am planning to make it better and add history in as I go. I was never good with personality and history to begin with, because I am never 100% sure how I am going to play him until the thing starts. I will be adding junk as we go.

Posted a character and sent a sample post to GMDKENJK. I wasn't quite sure if Talisman or Machina would need to see my sample post, but I still have it if you two need to see it as well.

Couple announcements:

Firstly, the rebel faction is closed to applications until further notice. We have a bunch of 'em already and not many Mortix types.

Secondly, the intro post is up. Feel free to throw up your own character intros at your leisure; we will probably not begin in earnest for another day or two yet. Still waiting on a couple possible apps and whatnot.

Lastly, and this is not really an announcement, but whatever: feel free to develop side-plots with characters and stuff. Being inspired by superhero comics means there will be a lot of random villain-fighting and nefarious plots and stuff, but it would get boring if that's all we did. You want a character subplot but need someone in charge to help develop it? Cool; tell us. We'll help. We're awesome like that, or something.

Oh and Aythr, you're approved. We're being pretty lenient on powers because we know most of you guys and trust you not to turn into godmodding jerks. But! If it starts happening, the wrath of the gods (us) will be upon ye! So let's all be awesome. (^_^)

Whoot post! O8 I'll have Gene's intro up soon as well~

If I wanted to go ahead and think up a secondary power for Gene, would it be too late for that?

Oh snap, I forgot the costume for James! Oh well, he's a free super with powers that can easily be hidden...

Suppose when a faction decides to try and recruit him, he'll come up with something or another.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done

James just reminded me of Foxwood's theme. Sung by Pizzarelli.

If it helps Fammikins, you can get that stuck in your head instead of that.

I like your luck-based character already.

I thought about having one of the men pull a gun on him and backfire, but that would require a bit more backlash than just tripping in a puddle... Like perhaps a car or a motorcycle *Glances at Fammikins* almost running him over... Although, that would be a great way to meet other characters..

That's... weirdly appropriate, Shiva. Huh. Snazzy might be the right word.

Also, I love how Machina was all like "post leisurely" and we already have four. Awesome, that's what that is.

And Talis, if you're concerned with meeting other characters, I was thinking of dropping Gabriel in on him anyway, if that works?

Works fine, what with the gentleman thief and a man who just won 900 bones illegitimately (Can't say he cheated, only... Only got lucky). Besides they're both free supers... Oooh! And they both like wearing fedoras.

Also, not only four posts, but four, amazing posts.

One cookie if you can figure out how Snyder survived an exploding box. He did not use his Super power.

By not being in the box when it exploded in the first place? I'm tempted to say that if the box was on a table, there was a hinge somewhere, but... I'm so bad at figuring out illusionist stuff. I watched an episode of Criss Angel once, and was like really close to my TV trying to see where the wires were.
