Lightstep comes with Enhanced Senses in his kit, already!

Soldier X and Sewer Rat are in there in the hopes that Regeneration, Fitness, and Self-Enhancement (or Transformation) combines with everything already in Lightstep's kit form that Peak Performance suggested synergy that Kermie theorized: everything that enhances the physical body.
Lightstep's main power isn't his enhanced senses, so at 1x, it isn't guranteed to pop-up without a synergy. Best to plan for it not having a synergy just in case, and double-up on enhanced senses.
 
Come to think of it, Lightstep + Steadfast would result in someone that can attack and move at the speed of light. They'll be blind during the process though, so some form of clairvoyance or enhanced senses would be needed.
Nah Just buff speed more so like with Mona's Flight it Overflows to letting them sense at lightspeed.

Lightstep(7)+ Steadfast(2) + Fast Tract(3) + Soldier X(1)

Super Fast
Super Tough

and with Soldier X giving Regen and Fitness maybe get a Synergy for boosting all Physical stats.

Wolong laughs. "Yes, but I also believe it is because of the strength of your power. It allows for some bleedover effect into other abilities in order to allow you to properly utilize your main powerset."

Fair enough on that front.

Oh hey look at that both Daggermaw (in one of my ideas) and Sewer Rat (in both) had Enhanced Senses as well.

(Personally, from what I read of his profile, I thought that Lightstep's weakness was that he could only use his power in short bursts. It's always described as one knock-out punch, and not anything for an extended brawl.)
 
Personally, now that it's been all-but-confirmed that Enhanced Strength+Enhanced Senses+Clarivoyance leads to a synergy, I kinda just wanna throw Nox, Red Huntress, and either Daggermaw or Mr Hunch in a blender and hit mix. Just for shits and giggles.
 
Lightstep (7) + Soldier X (1) + Daggermaw (1) + Sewer Rat (3) + Multiplex (1)

Lightstep (7) + Soldier X (1) + Sewer Rat (3) + Steadfast (2)
Lightstep pretty heavily wants one of Sewer Rat or or Fast Track alongside Daggermaw in my eyes. This power has every self enhance except self-enhance, where one of each is something I'm pretty convinced is the source of something here. So build in an enhance from there and Daggermaw to build it up further.

Lightstep/Sewer Rat/Daggermaw: (3x) Enhanced Senses, (2x all) Enhanced Strength, Transformation, (1x all) Self-Enhancement, Enhanced Speed, Invulnerability
Lightstep/Fast Track/Daggermaw: (2x all) Enhanced Senses, Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Speed, (1x all) Transformation, Invulnerability, Self-Enhancement, Ally Enhancement, Enhanced Speed

All of these leave 2 cost left in the build where you either go Steadfast or 2 of Soldier X (General defense from Regen and the power seems tailor made for a self boosting synergy)/Multiplex (transformation combo with Sewer Rat's size changing)/Hunch (general Daggermaw combo)/Millions (Help Fast Track) depending on what you want to push for.

May I offer a Red Huntress + Memoria + Millions + Daggermaw + Hunch in these troubling times? :V

I can kinda get double tapping.

But feel like for a Synery about Enhancing all physical abilities of the body

Youd need both regen and fitness. For natural heeling the body has and enhancing the overall base body passively.

Since FFM does show sometimes all you need is 1 keyword.
 
Enhanced Strength
Enhanced Speed
Enhanced Senses

Those three I'm certain are part of this combo.

The problem is, I'm not sure which of the two of the following are also a part of it.

Fitness
Regeneration
Transformation
Self-Enhancement

-----------------------------

Side note, when Bitterman was talking earlier about our Senses/Strength/Clairvoyance combo, he also mentioned that there was 'room for growth' with it, in terms of an extra keyword or two. My best guess on that front is extra copies of some of the existant keywords, but i will admit that my Uncle Iroh idea is mostly just throwing extra stuff at it and seeing what would stick.
 
BTW Im pretty sure Leizi Fitness power is the reason why a lot of people comment how hot she is.

Since her Power is Elemental Manipulatipn and Fitness.

So if we want to test giving someone their youth back for like Song we definately need to add fitness.

I think you can remove the teansformation since As far as I van see it doesnt enhances what the body already has but gives it new traits.

Like how adamant became a metal man and multiplex could turn into tech.
 
Random note: Between Marie, Uiara, Hydrocity, Umibozu, and Gerridae, that's five hydrokinetics. Are they the most common -kinetic type/Elemental Manipulation type?
 
Corkboard updated. Read all about it. Special thanks to @ScorpioSting for helping out heavily this time.
Kingdom of Thieves
(Partially contributed to by @ScorpioSting)
  • Most of the Wonderland escapees, who have unified around Monarch.
  • Have taken over the NID. Nobody allowed in or out.
  • Unified around Princess, Monarch adoptive daughter.
Monarch
-A petty thief, who was unjustly thrown into Wonderland due to her power making it extremely easy for her be an escape artist. Now she's out, and she's slowly starting to organize the Wonderland escapees.
-Can create "gates" which allow for teleportation to anywhere, conserving momentum as well.
-Bitterman has stated OOC that she would have linked the Uni District with the QZ, where the Leviathan is, if we had let the New Dawn mission expire. This would have turned Uni District into goldnine hell. Let's not have that happen, shall we?
-Trying to take control of NID to give Princess a safe place to live.

Princess
-Monarch's adoptive daughter. Extremely, extremely dysmorphic. On her back she has two head-like lumps, one of which looks like Scarlet Maturity, the other, a woman's face.
-May be boosting others powers. Power copier? SM power copied?
-All Wonderland villains are (apparently) unified in making sure that she stays safe.
-The Horae Guard want her for some reason.
-Born in Wonderland, mother and father unknown. Confirmed by Bitterman not the result of rape/sexual assault.
-Loves her mom, but also really likes Mona and the deceased Apiary.
-10-12 ish in age.

Hercules
-Monarch Lieutenant.
-Strong and durable. Notably, completely immune to ranged, energy-based attacks, and elemental attacks, vulnerable to only physical damage from close quarters.
-Current best counters: Ellie (Rock), Rhys, Mona's Lightspeed Dash

Warpstar
-Monarch Lieutenant, serial killer.
-Dysmorphic appearance, a black outline with jagged edges who moves like he's being fast forwarded and rewound.
-Shockingly affable personality.
-Power: Strong, can teleport parts of his body anywhere he can see, making him hard to pin down and adept at attacking from unexpected angles quickly.

Acid Rain
-Monarch Lieutenant.
-Algernon-type. Specialization: Acids, bases, dispersion methods. Mass casualty event waiting to happen.
-Has not said a single word out loud yet.

Marie Marionette
-Monarch Lieutenant.
-Hydrokinetic, specialization in manipulation of bodily fluids, aka Bloodbending.
-Got an arm torn off by Warpstar, as one of Monarch's "punishments".
-now basically has a blood arm. Fun.

Dollman
-Monarch Lieutenant
-Algernon-type. Has a toys/childhood aesthetic sense.
PREVAIL
  • Also known as Valiant Red, White, and Blue. (Stupid name.)
  • Piloted by Silvio, formerly known as the Algernon Stockpile.
  • Seems to have taken bits and pieces from the original EXCEED.
  • Powers unknown, but QM has compared it as the "Vergil to EXCEED's Dante". Likely has one really good mode instead of multiple modules.
  • NEW ISSUE EDIT: In possession of Telekinesis focused of slashing, Power Null, and Teleportation. Again, not beating the Vergil allegations.
  • Also seemed to trigger warnings of Psychic Interference in EXCEED-BEYOND. Making Silvio angrier???
Legacy of Trilogy
(
worked on by @ScorpioSting)

A trio of heroes who want to take Monarch down, but like, in a much more chill and subtle way than Crusade.

Marvelous Shine
-Male, Japanese, in his 50s
-An oldhead with experience. Was considered a peer of King and Novalight in his day.
-Power: Basically an Ultraman-he absorbed energy and used it to transform into a hard-light body that could fly, was strong, and big.
-Disappeared after the Sussaration because he didn't like the way heroism was transitioning. Ready to get back into the game.

Samsara
-Female, 20s, Indian? (off name and skin color)
-Marvelous Shine's step-niece
-Glamorous.
-Power unknown. Possibly related to spinning. Maybe psychic?

Gerridae
-Female, 30s????
-Kidnapped by Marie Marionette and then became a victim of Stitches, which left her face malformed or ugly and her body scarred.
-A hydrokinetic. Owing to her gear, probably cannot create water ex nihilo.
-Owing to her name, can probably walk on water?

I was wondering when someone was going to pick up on there was a whole untapped part of LL's power that I casually revealed a while ago lol
 
Unless we somehow recruit Yara in Hero Worship (while it's possible, I would think there might be some prereqs, high rolls and maybe commitment to actions in the future, like there were with Ellie), I would say we should go for Song Yu-Jin for our next hero. I think we could make something really solid even without increasing his low Tolerance. High potency need not be the end-all be-all.

...Besides, I'm a sucker old martial arts masters.

Perhaps they're just the most visible or maybe viable type of energy manipulators? If you're going to be a hydrokinetic hero/villain, you'll basically never lack for water.

It was kinda obvious once you know about Leizi having Fitness as Keyword which you told us about if Leizi died. Then add all the narrative about her beauty just adds more clue.

Still this is confirmation that fitness can affect the looks and age of a person.

Eh I like Song Enough that id prefer to give him Fast pass first to make him a real heavy hitter.

Also unless we can ensure R-Train supplying the MG's frankly other than for Yara I'm not willing to use up any more of our ambrosia right now.
 
All we need to do now is give our next P13 Abigail (Giant Slayer)'s power and then we'll have our Guts. :V
If we were really being sticklers about it, a Guts expy would have to be someone who is unpowered but still somehow able to keep up with metahumans with sheer grit and legendary equipment. Nevermind the fact that it's bullshit, and he totally has the power of being Too Fucking Angry to Die :V

I mean, isn't that Ellie? It's the armor doing all the work for her.
 
Technically, she is a metahuman. It's just her power is: can fuel and pilot EXCEED-BEYOND.
Personally, I've been wondering if that'd be coming up in the interview.

"Yeah, I thought I wasn't a parahuman, but it turns out I have a passive power that makes he a font of psychic energy. Unfortunately, I have no natural ability to actually use it, so it's normally pretty useless. But that makes me the perfect person to wear the suit."

That's a clever lie, but remember when we got the draft of Ellie's recruit sheet?

Leizi considers her one of the worst liars she's ever met. I doubt she can sell it well.
