Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Reader mode
The fact that Ellie reads the after action reports and memos and generally pays attention is so good because it means she has to know that Mona isnt always like that. She regularly has pleasant and productive social interactions with the general public and the rest of the team.
 
BTW can I just say how disapointing Stockpile actions here is.

For all says he wants to protect people its looks like what he really wants is to hurt what he considers villains without caring about collateral due to his grief and anger.

Also his emotional manipulation of BS while trying to scan in order to beat her up is also while smart not really heroic dude.

Same. Genuinely felt bad for him after the scene and then was so disappointed I was rooting for Ellie to kick his ass.
 
Chihiro's interview tent is far enough away that it should serve as a rally point for the evacuated.

We could have Ellie lay into Silvio for attempting to mess with her mind in the interview.
 
It really does seem like Silvio's gonn go to deep end believing his righteous all the way down even as he comits atrocities either uncaringly or ignorantly.

Which if Crusade loses and disolves leads to him being used as a scapegaot as leader. Afterall his not american, and rebound means he was gonna ide off anywany. So his perfect scapegoat.

Alright when I first read about my cain by reflex was eithr not using him or focusing entirely on Espionage to keep him hidden along with not giving him P13 power.

But thinking about it some more, I realized that thanks to Dr. Silver we have synergy that wed honestly want at P13 while also being ironically fitting for Cain.

So I made Espionage and Protection. To give Cain a Powerset primarily to Protect others. I went with Ispy and Miss Conception to give him Invisibility to hide his identity and hopefully let him make others invisible too which also another form of protection. Millions would stack our othr Energy Manipulation while also helping Bastions forcefield recharge.

For me The Peak Irony of Cain a Known Triple count Murderer being given a Power to protect others thourgh shields or Invisbility is incrediblty Interesting.

Now I'll admit retreading Force Fields is a bit boring but lets be honest It's definitely a Powerset we'd want more than 1 to ensure we don't lose members and to have shields to protect Innocents when needed.

@BrainInAJar what do you think of giving this powerset for Cain?
 
Be kinder to Stockpile, he's just going through his edgy phase.

In regards to Monarch, the brutality of tearing away Marie's arm makes me think she's somewhat honest about playing ball, but she's still being too brutal. If large parts of her "kingdom" are only staying because they think leaving is worse it's going to be a mighty problem once someone presents a better offer.

There's also the attempted plan against New Dawn which has gone totally unmentioned so far; in which case Marie Marionette might even be a deniable asset and it's all part of the plan.

Firstly, I wish to remind you:
Bitterman said:
So, coming up we have Cenotaph, which is the first time you guys have chosen an action that can result in new candidates. Depending on your rolls, you can get between 2-5 candidates. In that pool will be user submitted characters.

A quick note on that: by letting me use your submitted character, you are giving total control over them in this story. That means I will write in the way that fits the story best. I will try to honor the spirit of the character, but events can change people. Also, I won't be able to treat anyone with kid gloves. You have a sense of where this story can go and what can possibly be included (body horror, psychological torment) and what I will not be writing (sexual violence).

Bad things might happen to your character. They could die.

If this makes you uncomfortable, please let me know. You can DM me. No judgement, I totally get it. I feel like I need to give this warning, given that some of these characters are from other works and near and dear to people's hearts. Again, I will do my best to do them justice, but you will have no special voting power or ability to decide what happens with your submitted character in this story.

So my opinion is far from definitive, and might not be best. But as I wrote him the power that would most "optimal" for him would be invincibility, but what he'd actually want is a power to sense danger, though he would enjoy a protective power. He'd also dislike Invisibility, or rather, he doesn't want to hide himself. He'd accept it if he got it, of course, but he'd probably not use it in a fully deniable way.

Again though, all of this is my opinion and reflects an understanding of the character that might be outdated. We can just give him whatever we need at the time and I'd probably be fine.

However and finally, what I do know of the QM's plans would make a form of Space Manipulation the most "fitting", so I'd prefer plans with it, ultimately.

Nah, I'm thinking of a Fast Track/Daggermaw/Soldier X/Multiplex "Peak Performance" synergy fishing.

Hmm I can see that. Though Id probably still vote for Wade Family since it would really fit him as our main tank.

So if that wins not sorry ;v

Fair but as much as he might not like it we need a way to disguise his identity simply because him being known is way too much heat.

Though I suppose I can Switch Miss Conception with Outsider and Milltions with Multiplex. For Transformation Disguise instead of Invisibility.

Dollman and Acid Rain's garage labs were seized when they were put in Wonderland, right? Meaning anything they have now is rebuilt from scratch instead of having taken it back, right?
 
Something funny I just realized about a certain synergy, after some discussion with Realm. We might have been aiming for Anti-Psychic the wrong way.

Like, think about it. Assuming Nora was right, all metahuman powers are somewhat psychic, so we can't avoid it completely. But Clarivoyance was defined as "the most clear expression of psychic energy".

So instead of featuring Clarivoyance, the formula could be instead completely without Clarivoyance:

[Mental Manipulation]+[Energy Manipulation]+[Invulnerability]+[Self-Enhancement]=[Anti-Psychic]

Mental Manipulation to steel your emotions. Self-Enhancement and Invuln to ground your thoughts and wall them off from the world. Energy Manipulation to deflect the psychic waves.

Thoughts?

I will throw in my own thought from that conversation:

That it would be more likely to manifest in someone naturally closed off emotionally/mentally in the manner we're wanting for an Anti-Psychic

Still, the combo has merit, and I think it is the path to follow if we want an Anti-Psychic, after all it's going for the opposite of how we would get a psychic!
 
My proposal for Cain would be:

The room is dark and you'll be eaten by a Grue:
Zeno
Miss Conception
Daggermaw

Space-Time Manipulation, Invincibility, Energy Manipulation, Invisibility, Transformation, Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Senses

This combination aims to make a power that traps people in an alternate dimension full of illusions where they will be hunted, as appropriate for the first murderer.

This build probably won't actually do that but gets the Transformation and Invisibility people prefer while also grabbing Space-Time Manipulation, which I want. A Potency 13 space manipulator sounds strong as hell already, nevermind the other powers.
 
Oooh boy we are going to have a lot of Tol 10 characters if we have any say about it huh?
We really do need to unlock fast pass...
 
Plan transform
Daggermaw 1
sewer rat 3
Multiplex 1
Nox Esurientum 6
Mr hunch 1
Hydrocity 1

I admit this is all designed to make a transforming something.with a lot of keywords.

Its up to the votes but really the Main Problem is having to deal with the issues giving a Known Murderer an Incredible Superpower like that.

I Made Espionage and Protection precisley to be palatable to the team and maybe the public by going with a Powerset protecting others with Both Shields and Illusions.

Edit: Also there are other T10 we can give Zeno too anyway. Yara in Case we dont figure out psychic synergy in time. Shelley if we decide on her as T10 instead of Cain. Hell hopefully thered be more missions were we can recruit lots of candidates like cenotaph without risk of Prometheos discovery.

Maybe Chihiro will open up PR Actions that also lets us recruit candidates withour risk.

It's a Potency 13 power, there's no way it won't be crazy strong; even John's powers can be incredibly deadly with just a little application. I'd rather have a cool appropriate power.
