I'm wondering if we can somehow take powers somehow. How much energy do these SHARDS contain? What kind of energy do they contain?

Shards eat planets. They're really big biological computer things, for a given definition of biological which involves crystal and stuff. They would notice being drained of some forms of energy, but not others. They've probably got stupidly vast amounts of memory-energy.
 
If we want to find out we will need to level or draining skill up considerably, because you know, it's the next best thing to limitless powah. While not limitless the amount of energy a shard has should be pretty considerable and possibly game breaking,and it shouldn't be hard to get close enough to a parahuman to try draining. Sounds problematic.

The problem is doing so in a way the shard can't detect; you know, because if they do then they'll all kill us.
 
[X] It's hard to break old habits so you might as well stick to what you know and that's being a morally ambiguous mystery guy with powers. Now you just have to find a place to crash and set up shop. Let's see how Brockton Bay reacts to the presence of the Amazing and Mysterious Mage known as Ebon!

    • [X] It's hard to break old habits so you might as well stick to what you know and that's being a morally ambiguous mystery guy with powers. Now you just have to find a place to crash and set up shop. Let's see how Brockton Bay reacts to the presence of the Amazing and Mysterious Mage known as Ebon!

    It takes you a while to find a good place to hide out and keep your stuff in. Unlike before where you got stupid lucky with your caravan lot that had a secret underground base, you aren't so lucky in this world. Without money or id, and a need for privacy, you reluctantly settle down in a relatively dry location in one of the big container ships that were part of Brockton Bay's Boat Graveyard. It was kinda depressing how all these boats were left to rust away here after a worker's strike backfired horribly, as far as you could tell. Something like this would have been dealt with a long time ago back home.

    Still, the Boat Graveyard was not the safest place for a normal person and almost anything of value had long been stripped away by scavengers and the likes, making it the ideal place to reside in for your immediate needs. With your physical strength and agility, you can easily traverse through the broken hulls of long abandoned boats. The room that you have settled down in isn't particularly big and the wind gets in from the outside but thanks to some excess power left from the Ebon Star empowerment, you were able to patch things up nicely enough to make the place semi-livable. For the short term, it will do as a temporary base of operations. Your shadows don't seem to mind, particularly your denizens who have begun exploring the boat you're in with the help of the Shadows.

    Having secured a place to stay for the time being, you head back out into the city to familiarize yourself with certain landmarks and locations. You're thankful that you're reacquired your Ebon Power conversion ability since it lets you substitute nourishment with both life energy and Ebon Power. You still like a good hamburger though and you do need resources, mainly monetary ones in order to set up something of a service around this place. Plus it's usually easier to buy stuff instead of stealing it. Less hassle and less chance of shit happening.

    You move swiftly and quietly, using a little of the more mundane shinobi skills that you had copied from the ninja captives you held back at your home base back in your home dimension. While not perfect, it's enough to keep people off your back as you move through the streets. Having decided to go do the usual thing, you figured that there was one thing that you needed - a disguise, much like the one you used when you went and did your Ebon Lord duties. Unfortunately, without your magical capabilities unlocked, you can't glamour your appearance into something else.

    So with that in mind, you decide a change in your alter-ego's appearance would be good for you.

    Wait, so by what mechanism are we changing our appearance? Just shapeshifting?
     
    @Chocolate: I think this is our costume we are voting on. We can't glamour or shapeshift yet.

    [X] Merchant of Darkness

    After we get that nifty pocket dimension we can carry everything around!
