Brainstorm - demon with leigion that can go into inanimate objects and bring them to life like that?

A halfer would theoretically work. I just have to get over my aversion to roleplay samples and potential failure.  But if that doesn't work I could do the puppet thing because that's the best thing I've heard since sliced bread. When did people start slicing bread? It couldn't have taken much imagination to think, "I should cut this!" but I think maybe that expression is talking about the presliced bread... anyway. Halfer or gifted. x.x I'll just go make an application/sample for both. Puppeteering is for living creatures only. D: Don't worry about potential failure; we don't reject people, we just check to make sure everything makes sense. Traits are complicated, so we just want to see that you'll use them right. You can bypass the sample if you write a detailed explanation of exactly what their trait is/what it does, if you want. Brainstorm - demon with leigion that can go into inanimate objects and bring them to life like that? Legion entering objects isn't necessary; while we'd like to keep gifts sciencey, because they're really like evolution/mutation, demons are another species from another plane. Magic is okay for them. For example, a Demon of Water doesn't need legion to course through water if they want to create a wave. |

Ahh I see. So the gifts come from technology. Like in that animated film of atlantis. with Milo.

Demon and Fae have a habit of 'breaking the rules' as it were. Or maybe it's better to say that they play by their own rules.

I didn't mean to upset anyone about the puppeteering thing it was just a word that I thought fit to the act. But um yeah..sorry.

I just wanted to make it clear that puppeteering wouldn't work in that way, 'cause I think javvie was about to put that in his/her profile. |

IRough idea for a gift - being able to change energy into any form, and being able to manipulate said energy. Technically ebcause of the way gifts work they'd be able to have other people's gifts, but because they don't have the genetic code that wouldn't work. I eman things like being able to stop something moving by changing the kinetic energy into chemical or static energy.
Another one is Potential energy. Technically they could make stuff float by changing the potential energy of something falling into say, heat energy, and moving it somewhere else.
Though possibly together thw two things, while they go hand in hand, would be a bit overpowered so have them as two different gifts.
Energy Manipulation
Energy Transmorphing (for lack of a better word)
However, they would technically be able to mimick a few gifts so it might be a little overpowered. The rough idea is there anyways. If anyoen needs help with the science behind it, they can just ask me. But I doubt that.

While this does sound science-y, it might be a little much for the average member (read: Meg) to understand. I can put something up in Staff Room about it, though.  |

Arigatou. It wouldn't be TOO hard to simplify - and if people don't understand the gift, they they just don't have it. I guess that isn't fair though. Thanks for considering it! ^_^

With that cellular Regen thing clear, could there be a gift like the Baccano! Immortals, or have it as an optional stage II for cellular regen? If you haven't seen Baccano! and have no idea what I'm talking about (which you most probablywill not), just look at this www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aaEej7OyjMAnd pay attention to the guy who's fingers get cut off. Then the blood flies back, as do the fingers, leaving him unscathed. This would be an epic kind of gift xD You could have it so that, while it won't protect from illness or age, it will actually save people from any other kind of death. Ok maybe that's a little far, but it's oo cool! Be warned, the video has a little bit of killing in it, and a bit of gore. So, be careful. |

Regens and vampires can reattach limbs, but they'd have to pick them up and hold them to where they were severed. They don't grow back. |

xD But that's what's cool about that. They wouldn't get the advantage of not aging, but the blood and limbs would re-attach themselves. THis also makes for interesting plot.
E.G. Keeping Huey Laforet's eye in a jar so it can't fly back onto his head.

The rough idea is there anyways. If anyoen needs help with the science behind it, they can just ask me. But I doubt that. The generic idea behind gifts is that Alteration is lumped into control of a certain power. Pyrokinetics can control fire, move it to their will and cause things to burn easier or harder then we might expect. Leo, my character, has Kinetic Manipulation, which is total control of Kinetic Energy. Though I have kept him tethered on a short leash, the powers of such a gift are staggering in their complexity. If I really wanted to Godmode him, he could stop bullets, be immune to blunt force trauma (AKA: A punch or a car accident), or even turn his falling off of a building into a super speed sprint down the street. Maybe run into traffic, get hit by a car, steal it's Kinetic energy and body slam someone? The possibilities are endless. With one single gift having such dangerous potential, it would make sense that no one gift could cover every aspect of energy. It'd be too much for one Gifted to control, they're brain would probably melt by having that much power. They'd sneeze and turn a tornado into a tidal wave. So yeah, you see my problem with just a 'blanket' power. It doesn't really work with the system. |

Ok, makes sense. But, then a power which changes one type of energy into another would still work, and not be too complex. They couldn't change or controll the direction of the energy, just change it's nature.
Or even seperate them into categories like with the different types of kinsesis.
E.G. Just being able to change other energies into sound energy. This would be able to exclude the complications of thigns such as Chemical energy and so on.
