Character/Power Discussion

[karambit]

A favorite past-time of mine is discussing the pros/cons of physics, chemistry, and biology in regards to super-human powers under the premise of Heroes.

I'm not a licensed of certified expert on anything. I have a lot of experience crafting and modeling super-human abilities under the guidelines of Heroes, plus I have a creative bent with a solid foundation in science and para-science (specifically psionics).

I offer my expertise to new players to answer questions about powers, any question. I also offer an open invitation for anyone to join in on the discussion. Finally any suggestions I offer are not those of the staff, and therefore you must seek approval from the appropriate administration/moderators before implementation.

New Discussion: Zombie Virus Generation

User is a carrier for a virus/bacteria/parasite that causes the infected to become feral and homicidal. Sickness is highly contagious, but requires infected bodily fluids to come into contact with mucus membranes (mouth, nose, eyes, genitals, anus) or open sores to spread. Disease causes rapid deterioration of health and cardiac arrest, typically resulting in death. After about ten minutes, typically resulting in widespread frontal lobe deterioration, spontaneous resuscitation occurs. Infected individual is now contagious and prone to highly aggressive behavior. Infected produce certain pheromones indicating their status as infected, resulting in markedly less aggressive interaction, pheromones have a distinctive scent comparable to rotting flesh. Intelligence level of infected varies depending upon level of neuronal infarction.

interesting. haha, sorry, that's all i have to say. i mean, i could see this being used in like a weird sci-fi flick, but i don't know how well of a storyline one could build around it except in like a scenario involving a science lab on a remote island that does less-than-ethic stuff to human subjects.
which would be an interesting story for a different type of rpg (kinda like a human nature vs human morals type stories like in "The Condemned")
but, then again, i'm not very creative when it comes to this kind of stuff. haha.

Indeed. I have no intention of ever using the ability. I created it and used it during The Adventures of Jason Karambit in Future Times. I realized I never finished it and likely never will.
