- Significant Grade, I will be kind since the limits Redikai has given the kid are reasonable, but for starters the abilities they wish for won't exceed street-level without some magical training

Oh thank goodness. I was really worried Kimmy was going to a higher grade because I was 100% sure I wouldn't get enough votes for her. Although, maybe I could have depending on how long the vote goes? When are you thinking of closing the votes anyways?

  • [X] Dragon Legally Distinct Lizard Aliens Invasion: It was a normal day, the sun was shining, the birds singing, and then a meteor hit the earth, a normal enough event if not for the fact it contained a young Dregon, an alien taking the form of a giant fire breathing lizard with wings, whose greed and pride are the driving motivator of they actions, and who is not a Dragon, stop asking, that has decided the earth is the perfect planet to start his conquest.
    [X] Intelligent Computer Aided Truck (ICAT): Developed by a small rival company to General Dynamics (albeit focused more in the field of vehicular manufacture and construction, as opposed to general engineering), the ICAT is a relatively less sapient, but still sentient machine originally intended to help with general construction. However, this large and vaguely bestial construct has seemingly gone rampant on its first field test after the testing structure was completed! With it rushing around town to find other construction sites to help around, regardless of the safety hazards it brings along... And the sheer havoc it causes in its path.
    [X] Become Human Again
    [X] Mr Mimic's Wrath: A disgraced Scientist from General Dynamics returns with his "Magnum Opus", a suit of Armor that allows him to mimic powers and abilities, to assault and steal the vaunted technological marvels of General Dynamics to fuel his own desires and schemes. ADOG and the security of General Dynamics face the Wrath of Mr Mimic.
    [X] Who Doesn't Love Cults: Araya reluctantly works to build up Olympus to its former glory once again, but steps on the toes of several cults along the way. Cults that really don't appreciate their followers being converted to Greek Mythology. Especially when [Instert Generic Being Of Worship] is so much better. Now she has to deal with crazy cultists going after her when she's already busy trying to meet her weekly quota. Wonderful.
    [X] All I want for Christmas is~ FRANKY FROST'S HEAD ON A PIKE!
    [X] Legally Distinct Average Kid: Kimmy is an average kid, that no one understands. Mom and Dad and Micky always giving her commands (Bed, dork!). Doom and gloom up in her room is broken instantly by her magic little soul that grants her three wishes. 'Cause in reality, she is a- [For copyright reasons, this song cannot be continued.] To actually explain, Kimmy Truther is a kid in New York who has fae blood in her, which has granted her the ability to make three "wishes" that can only affect her directly. She mainly uses her wishes to give herself other powers and not get sick, though their strength is limited because of her age, limited magic pool, and skill with her power. She hasn't gone out heroing at all because her dad is really protective of her, but she really wants to. Her mom isn't around.
    [X] The Cheese Baron - Lorenzo Tomasino is an Italian dairy union boss and mob boss. While his own personal combat abilities are very low, what with him being a fat, middle-aged man who is very nearsighted in one eye while the other looks as though a solid hit will knock it out of its socket, Lorenzo displays a superior sense for managing public opinion and manipulating the narrative around situations to his favor, making him a villain that's difficult to capture due to his ability to always appear to be reasonable and legitimate even when he is everything but. He is known in the criminal underworld as The Cheese Baron due to using cheese wheels to traffic drugs.
    [X] The Atomic Scholar: College student and budding scientist, Brian Atom, transforms into the Atomic Scholar with the help of his experimental gadgets and a penchant for cheesy science puns. Using his "Proton Pack" for flight, "Neutron Gloves" for enhanced strength, and "Quantum Visor" for advanced vision, he combats campus and city threats. His humorous quips lighten his battles, though his reliance on gadgets sometimes makes him vulnerable when they malfunction.
    [X] The Evil Eyes: An epidemic of unusual accidents has been sweeping Metropolis City. Multi-car pileups caused by single moments of distraction, competent professionals mangling themselves in the middle of routine jobs, wild animals appearing seemingly from thin air. The only connection between the victims has been that they minorly wronged someone beforehand, and received a certain gesture back--a glare of the eye. With knowledge of the potential karmic overreactions and their cause spreading, can Lady Fortuna solve the local problems of probability before the city itself starts to crumble?
    [X] "Normal Dog" isn't normal: The narrator (unless it's funnier if the narrator can't), Tele-Pete, Professor Shade, The Fortune Twins, ADOG, Mr Mimic, ICAT, and Kimmy Truther (sometimes, depending on her wishes) can tell that it's not normal.

You know what, heck it. I'm not happy, but this energy is exactly what this needs to hopefully last longer than the others. And I definitely applaud your enthusiasm here, and this isn't enough to make me steer away from this.

Anyways back to work on the idea (hopefully not too big). And other ideas too for future turns (who said that just because ADOG's creator died and lost the blueprints, means that General Dynamics doesn't know how to make it again? And better.).

Edit: Oh, and if you haven't already. Maybe use something like Google Docs or some other word processor with autosave, to avoid what happened to the other collaborative superhero worldbuilding project.

Very good. I want this thing to last a good, long while. And at the very least... I don't want to see you go through that again. I know how it can feel, to lose all of that progress with writing. Or just in general, lose a ton of progress.

It's awful. So, I implore you to look into that and use something with that function. And maybe cloud storage too. But yeah.
 
And I'm a bit sad that it seems like the Evil Eyes and Atomic Scholar didn't make it through. The latter seemed cool and could have brought in more super science of the modern age instead of future science and...

While the former would have been a nice widespread issue to worry about. I guess we won't find out what plans Donald had for that then.

And the very likely possibility of ICAT being boosted is worrying. I didn't mean to make such a big country-scale threat out of it. Just a rival/foil to ADOG.

I've been thinking for a couple of days and have come up with the next character I'm going to make (after Fairyland hopefully passes) and decided to share it, although I don't really like their last name. It just doesn't feel right. So if anyone has a better one, please share it. Oh, also, the way I've been planning things is to create a character and then create a larger thing that character is connected to.

[] Not-A-Phantom
Young Sunny Jenson, he was just 13, when his parents built a very strange machine. It was designed to view a world unseen. When it didn't quite work, his folks, they just quit, but then Sunny took a look inside of it. There was a great big flash, everything just- [For copyright reasons, this song cannot be continued.] To actually explain, Sunny Jenson is a kid in New York who, due to an experiment created by his parents, can now partially shift into a supernatural higher dimension. This partial shift allows him to have more "impact" while receiving less "impact" back. Basically, though, he can fly, is durable, and hits much harder. The more he shifts out of reality, the stronger he is, but he hasn't had his powers for long and isn't able to shift more than 50% yet.
