Do the Undersiders count as following Joe for the purposes of Oi!? I ask because the idea of them suddenly developing whatever accent Joe has is funny to me.

If we examine this thoroughly, Joe is a Brocktonite so has a local accent with Taylor and Brian being locals as well, with the rest being from elsewhere. Rachel's former home isn't mentioned to be Brockton same with Lisa coming from out of state with Alec being Canadian.
So if they do have their accents changed, Lisa and Alec will be the one's to notice, Rachel might not care at first but Lisa losing her shit would make for a great omake with Rachel playing the straight man. Though the perk says it takes a few days to work.
It occurs to me that the PRT are going to take this perk as more evidence that Joe is a power tinker.
"Previously Kataklyzein's stranger power only worked on those who were unaware of him. We have confirmed that the effect is now active on everyone, albeit at a reduced level of effectiveness. Clearly this is proof positive that Aperion is tinkering with powers!"

Albeit when people mention Tybalt squaring the fuck up with someone and them not reacting until they start sporting stab wounds, realistically a lovetap from Tybalt could put someone in a full body cast, and he can react fast enough to send entire teams of Capes (who mostly have baseline human durability) to the ICU.
If he ever actually acts with hostile intent, the only evidence he's going to leave behind is going to be across the ceiling and walls. It's like, 'yeah it's hard to figure out what's going know when you've got a couple holes in your lungs' is canon Worm shit. Aisha could do that.
The slightest effort from Tybalt would look like the aftermath of Kratos going on a rampage. Drown in blood? More like have your entire ribcage turn to powder, moments before you get vaporized. I hesitate to think if anyone will be able to figure out its even Tybalt attacking them, and not just someone firing high speed, precision artillery strikes at them.

I'm picturing Joe explaining himself later while meeting with the Undersiders.
Brian: "An Endbringer attacked Brockton Bay, and you just turned away and vanished. What was that?"
Joe: "Well, an Endbringer attack is serious business. I had to go make some meth for my cat. The good stuff."

So, Hard Science from the Raildex Universe. It is completely deadly to someone who has magic, so with the Shard/Magic Equivalence, no granting it to Aisha or any other Parahuman, and there should probably be tests to make sure there isn't a certain potential brain tumor to avoid future... incidents. But my question is, what else would count as magic? Would Aura? Goodness knows RWBY itself has went back and forth on this, so it would depend on what LordR says, is there WOG on this issue? Would certain types of Alchemy count as magic? And here's an issue: Synchronicity Event, which boosts all Psionics and would give Jozef the ability to awaken Psionics in others, is itself in (among others) the Magic Constellation. Does this mean that F.E.A.R. based psionics is partly magic, and therefore incompatible with Certain Scientific Railgun psionics? Also, given Jozef's ... reluctance.. to open up to others, is this all a purely theoretical exercise, because no way would he ever give psionics (either the Raildex or F.E.A.R. type) to anyone outside the Celestial Forge membership anyway. Also, Tybalt. I suppose even if Aura does not count as magic, he also has Strike Witch powers, so I'd guess no Raildex psionics for him either. How fiated is the Raildex magic explosive allergy? Is this something Jozef could fix with something other than Spiral Energy (because we don't want to awaken that too much)?

The Key Crest from Tales of Berseria (Edit: Symphonia, sorry) stops any malignant power manifestations. Esper's magic allergy (and vice versa) included.
Also, yes, RWBY Aura is magic (or at least connected to it in some not specified way). Here's a bit more about it:
Avoidance really was supposed to play a bigger role in UH, huh.

It has been confirmed,i think,that there is a link between magic and semblances.

Also,good chapter and happy new year.
Happy New Year!
I have to say it is both disappointing and very typical of the RWBY staff to drip feed a lore detail that significant. Just confirmation of a link, no mechanics or anything that would let us understand the stakes when a semblance goes up against magic.
Sorry, I'll stop before general RWBY frustration comes out. It is slightly disappointing since the interaction means that magical countermeasures probably overcome defensive semblances, even incredibly specialized defensive abilities, a fact that may or may not be relevant to this story. Now I'm left to either hold off on exploring the concept or be one of the hundreds of writers who explore the mechanics on their own only to have all their (generally quite creative) work invalidated with a single update.
Wait, didn't I say I'd stop before RWBY frustration came out? Thanks for sharing the link, and once again Happy New Year.

This is basically just wolves of fenris. Their entire thing was basically just wolves. They have wolf priests.
I'm surprised some of his spy and stealth perks doesn't help him with this, and make it easier at least
They most definitely do. After all, he complains that acting is uncomfortable, not difficult. Which is probably a matter of personal opinion, not a skill. Also, listing all perks that help him with acting normal would probably kill the pace of a scene a bit.

Receptionist: err, let me get someone qualified for this?
Skidmark: take your time, I'll grab some coffee from the machine while you call someone

Assault: hello, I heard you're here to surrender?
Skidmark: yup, come and take me away
Assault:... Okay I gotta ask, why
Skidmark: Coke cat
Assault:... what?
Skidmark: that fucking cat from the forge, it literally smoked, injected and snorted everything I had, EVERYTHING
Assault: so he's dead?
Skidmark: o fuck no, I wish! have you ever seen a coked-up berserker? Jesus Christ alive, it was a fucking massacre. and after he was done smoking my supply, thrashing my workshops, and beating the ever living shit out of people in a way that was more art than a fight he stole Squealer's tank and had that crazy look in his eye as he started playing Sabaton and driving towards the Nazi side of the Bay
I just wanna be behind bars before someone tries to pin all that bullshit on my ass!
Assault: *pinches himself* this is really happening? I'm not in some sort of drug-fueled fever dream?
Skidmark: I'd be genuinely surprised if there were any drugs left in the bay after that cat is done with it, that thing has a drug problem

Yeah but the same cannot be said of Tybalt, the Catgod of War.
OH GOD! kill it with fire! Scion has full permission to golden beam that out of existence. That's legit horrifying!
Matrix and Fleet are probably my two favorite characters in the fic, the first interlude from fleet perspective about "remembering the road" was like action hero level badass, I thought he was cool as a mecha-power armor that kicked ass even before we got into his head and saw what made him tick
Matrix disgust with the real world is hilarious and 100% understandable since he's basically material perfection made manifest XD I real can't see him go grey goo swarm because he doesn't want this disgusting place to be a part of him. I love it
hahahahaha! I'm laughing so hard right now! right after Tattletales thoughts about how Joe doesn't act at all until he does

FIC REC: author inspired by "Brockton's Celestial Forge".
Link: Equestrian Celestial Forge
"Equestrian Celestial Forge": Similar premise as BCF, except the benefits are randomly distributed among the Mane Six.
So far, there are 26 chapters, does a decent job exploring what characters think of various Perks ("lame!" and "nerd-stuff!" are common complaints by Rainbow Dash), and how their newfound gifts are mostly used to improve their current lifestyles: baking, farming, household chores, veterinary care, etc.

I just read all of this. Why is this one of the best CF stories I've yet come across?FIC REC: author inspired by "Brockton's Celestial Forge".

Hmmm… probably because it has a pretty unique vision of what it wants to be compared to a lot of other CF story variations. Love to see it. Also, it hella satisfies my personal preference for characters studying/investigating crossover magic/science/phenomena. Would recommend to anyone here in a heartbeat.
Shouldn't his clones music channel both bring in some revenue via youtube ads AND the fact that they are so skilled should have both private persons and corporations contacting them for payed work. Within like a week?
Was just rereading some highlights of the fic when I came across this:
Well, Lisa, that did not age well, now did it?
You can practically feel her smashing her head against a wall while looking back at that moment and wondering why she had to be a idiot after seeing what he can do a few days later.Was just rereading some highlights of the fic when I came across this:
