Energy Control -> Electrokinesis, maybe? you know, I was going to do this, but i was waffling on whether or not "Electrokinesis" was the proper term to use, and how cool it sounded... See, I kept Energy Control as Electricity control for a few reasons, being the first person to have it. As someone who has taken several classes on energy conversion and such, I understand the dangers of saying ENERGY control. As far as physics is concerned, Energy can be several things. Speed (Kinetic) Height (Potential) Heat/Friction (Internal) Molecular Bonds (Nuclear) And the list goes on and on. Saying a blanket 'ENERGY' control is way too dangerous for the power, and starts to infringe on other powers. So I decided it might be best to just nip it in the bud there and call it Electricity Control or Electrokenesis. |

It's meant to be solely electricity, more or less. Electrical type energy to be specific (you might be able to handle things like lightning, though it differs greatly from the Aspect...)
Didn't expect people to get all specific on me. >.>

I love, love, looooveee the gift empathy fix. I just want to hug you all. <3 Problem is, the explaination for it is super-confusing. Looks like you just copy-and-pasted Rob's stuff. It's gonna need some polishin'.
First off, use the simplest terms possible. Proximity is good once, but if it's like, all over the place, it's gonna sound technical and confusey. Second, avoid using characters as examples; not everyone is familiar with the characters used, and when they grow, you'll have to edit a lot. Third, it's electrokinesis, not energy control.
The summary is good but confusing. The "/" makes it seem like one in stage one can have 3 powers less than (use this instead of the symbol) stage I, and a power at stage I, which is incorrect. Also, I think under Stage II, it should say "3 Powers = Stage I."

I can work it over again real quick, shouldn't take too much to try and fix what you're suggesting. |

Je suis suggests a board/category/subcategory/thread that's basically a chat room or email center for anyone to log on and jump in.
Because social interaction isn't restricted to face-face.

If there was some interest, I'd be willing to create something. |

"Je suis" is pretty incorrect there, amirite? Hehe. :P I thought those look cute, but yeah, prolly mostly unused. |

I had an Idea for Bio-Crystallization.
Something along the lines of
Level 1- ... same as now
Level 2- Can extend crystallized spikes from parts of the body + same thing as it is now.
Level 3- Spikes can be used as a projectile + same thing it is now.

someone had complained that I'd nerfed it.
I'll have Rob take a look at it, he's actually better at figuring the Gift levels then I am.

On it. And while I am here, a suggestion of my own.
Elemental Kenesis: Wind, Energy, Water. (The only two applicable ones.)
As an added bonus, at level one they allow their user to 'see' the element. An electrokenetic might be able to see the paths of electricity through a circuit if it wasn't heavily insulated, or a Aerokinetic would be able to see the independent air currents. Not at all times, only if they concentrated. Hydrokenetics would be able to see the flow of liquid moving through objects, find water underground, etc etc.
Nothing amazing or even useful in everyday life, but a neat little idea that could be helpful and adds a nice bit of flavor.
I didn't add it for Pyro and Tera because their elements are plainly visible.

It seems like I can't ever see the names of demon or vampire characters, so I'm going to suggest changing them so they're see-able. I was thinking maybe silver-ish for demons, and a different kind of red, maybe a brighter one, for vampires.
On linked gifts:
Why are cellular regen and super strength linked? I suppose they're similar, but I personally believe they're not similar enough to always follow the other. Why not link cellular regen with cellular acceleration? Cellular regen with bio-crystallization? Super strength and super speed, or enhanced reflexes? None of these gifts are really similar enough to each other that developing one would result in developing the other. Like telekinesis and telepathy. You'd be more likely to develop one of those if you have the other, but it's not a mandatory thing.
Adoptive muscular memory and eidetic memory. I can see these two being linked, but therein lies a problem: what if someone wants to make a bookish character, with eidetic memory, that will be just a bookish character. Adoptive muscular memory develops, and suddenly they can do Kung-Fu if they see it. Should these two follow each other, no matter what? :/ Basically, I'm against restricting people on what their character can or can't do/be, if whatever's being restricted doesn't really need to be restricted.

If characters do not wish to have a power, they CAN refuse it. It merely comes to play that the second level of eidetic memory IS Adoptive Muscle Memory. If they don't want it, they don't get it, simple as that. If they don't want their level two power, they don't have to have it. This was done because those gifts couldn't evolve well without gimping the player, or overpowering them.

I meant to ask if you could refuse a power, thanks for answering my unasked question and saving me the trouble  |
