That said, I don't actually want John Henry to be our psychic metahuman. It's a role I want to reserve for a Tolerance 10 candidate since our opponents are already established in the field. If we're going to challenge them, then we're going to need to bring our A-game and nothing less if we want to win.

I am just saying if we end up with a bit of overlap in our heroes so like we can get a good mid card psychic now and still use a T-10 for one later

I am very happy my name has caught on with others

Edit.
Also question about writing a candidate I remember someone saying bitterman isn't a huge fan of legacy heroes
But would continuing a masked identity that started before superheroes be like a valid thing

Hmm. So Telekinesis might be Clairvoyance + Enhanced Strength + Energy Manipulation. That gives us some info to work with.

[ ] Overspeed
DNA Profiles: Lightstep (7), Memoria (4), Daggermaw (1), Millions Minefield (1)
Potency: 13
Donor Keywords: Clairvoyance, Transformation, Enhanced Speed, Enhanced Strength x 2, Teleportation, Invulnerability, Enhanced Senses x 2, Energy Manipulation
Build Goal: Combat Teleporter

With the information about Clairvoyance + Energy Manipulation contributing towards Telekinesis there's a decent chance the last part of the combo is Enhanced Strength. The aim here is to create some sort of combat teleporter with Lightstep's bruiser abilities; not sure how telekinesis would manifest here if it does but it could just be enhancing short range combat abilities. This would have to be given to Ellie, obviously.

[ ] Perimeter
DNA Profiles: Memoria (4), Antaeus (3), Fast Track (3)
Potency: 10
Donor Keywords: Teleportation, Clairvoyance, Invulnerability, Energy Manipulation, Self-Empowerment, Ally Empowerment, Enhanced Speed
Build Goal: Zone control, Support teleporter

Trying for some sort of field controller here. Take control of an area and then assist allies with localized teleportation and speed boosting. An alternative here is to use Dragonsteeth instead so we can have teleporting combat constructs, or boost up to Potency 13 to allow for both (but obviously then it doesn't work for John anymore).

[ ] Artificer
DNA Profiles: Chatroom (4), Mister Hunch (1), Multiplex (1), Dragonsteeth (3), Millions Minefield (1)
Potency: 10
Donor Keywords: [Clairvoyance] x 2, [Transformation], [Energy Manipulation] x 2, [Construct Creation], [Ally Empowerment]
Build Goal: Technopath (?)/Support/Engineer/Construct Summoner build

The build I've previously outlined, but adding in Chatroom to try and boost the Potency and also incorporate her remote linking. Millions Minefield is added in to juice up the build a bit further, but we could also just dial it down to Potency 9 to reduce the chance of side effects. Even if the technopathy thing doesn't work out this should result in a pretty versatile support build with the tags included.

If John gets teleporation, that's, at bare minimum, an evasive power that lets him get out of the way of attacks.

That's assuming the teleportation would work on himself and not only allies, which is uh... probably not guaranteed.

If I were to guess the other tag(s), I think the most likely last tag is 「flight」. Flight is basically telekinesis of the body, if you think about it. A theortical 4th tag wouldve been 「Enhanced Strength」because. You know. But potency bleedthrough could eliminate that need. This is assuming Telekinesis is NOT Clairvoyance/Strength synergy, of course.

I think it's more likely the last tag is Enhanced Strength. You know, the tag that was already said to be part of a combo with Clairvoyance.

It's guranteed since teleporting himself and other people is core to Memoria's teleportation abilities. If we use his DNA, then we can expect a similar level of versatility.

I wouldn't assume that? Teleportation, sure, but if we go all in on making it a build focused around buffing/supporting allies that it's possible we end up with the limitation that the teleportation no longer works on the user themselves. Or if you try to build out a combat teleporter, they might only be able to teleport themselves and not any allies.
 
It wont weaken Higher Potency means even a Power from a weak source gets stronger.

Its how BS can heal herself up by absorbing radiation, when Soldier X power only kept her body in top condition without need for exercise instead of healing her.

Its the reason wolong said POtency boost a keywords, Like Handyman strenght and BS Flight.
 
Any Differences to Teleportation will be how it interacts with other Keywords and QM own preferences.

Ex:
Chatroom: Teleprot through Telepathy link instead of touch
Mr Hunch: Use obejects as markers
Ispy: Tagged people.
Million Mines & Ally empowerment: Give others a charge to teleport on their own.
Million Mines: Create Energy blast that can teleport others

What, so you expect everyone that gets Steadfast's DNA to exhibit an equivalent or stronger level of invulnerability? I don't think that's going to happen, for obvious balance reasons.

Yes tehy will. Because Steadfast has literally the best Invulnerability in the Quest Worlds.

Why do you think BS has a singularity body. Thats a combo of steadfast bullshit invulnerabitly and Potency 13/

Now If steadfast had other powers then they might not get his invulnerability, but as a Keyword Metahuman anyone with steadfast DNA gets bullshit Invulnerabitly just with different flavor based on other powers.
 
I have no doubt that whatever we make, Bitterman will make it cool, interesting, and maybe just a little weird. That's the fun of this! We put in the parts, give him an idea of what we want, and then he mixes it up and puts his own twist on it. I have faith in our QM!
 
Idle question, though: Should we have our future telekinetic (putting aside Scissor's access to it) be Yara, as part of her Super Psychic plan, or should we have Yara focus purely on telepathy and spying-ish powers?

Okay? So why doesn't Handyman have Adamant's super toughness then? You're being silly.

A power being overall stronger does not mean it's guaranteed to be stronger in every aspect.
 
Adamant doesnt have Invulnerability or Super Toughness.
His power was transformation to endless mass which let him regenerate.

Handyman has that and Outsiders shapeshifting. Which are both stronger.

Adamant could seal up a shipwreck in indestructible super metal. Handyman can't seal up a shipwreck in indestructible super metal.

Obviously he makes up for it in other fields, but I'm not the one insisting that powers cannot end up having tradeoffs or be worse in some aspects after we mix them with other powers.

Oof, all those poor luck rolls.

But man, Mona really whiffed it with Ellie lol. Being attracted to her certainly isn't helping how she's acting. But you can see the groundwork for why she might choose to hang out with Scarlet Maturity. His words really rattled her.

Poor Chatelet, one day JU will be financially solvent. And Lady Leizi's right, it is endearing how excited Wolong is about Project Prometheus.
 
Unfortunate luck rolls, we could've started earning more money. I feel your pain once again, Opale. T.T

I'm also amused by how Mona keeps fumbling around Noelle while being attracted to her.

For plans, I'd say.....I lean between @Wing101r and @Pawn Lelouch 's plans atm. Wing's would give John the psychic connection needed for R-Train and other future psychic events and has Chatroom which is an immensely useful support tool alongside Memoria. Pawn's seems more unconventional than how I would perceive a support hero would be, but I think what sold me to it is the combination of Bulwak and Steadfast and how it interacts with Millions and Fasttrack, which in my head could be useful in the upcoming Hero Worship mission.

I'll try to wrap my head around other plans as they come, but so far, it's those two that I think I'll vote.
