The World Forged By Powers: Difference between revisions

[[File:th_HWSysLogo_2280.png|frame|Better living through superior technology]]

 

“Tell him a new alien species just came to earth and ask him what he wants me to do about it.”|Charles 'Jade' Ravenholm and Lisa Willems, pretty much summing up the RP.}}

 

 

The game roughly follows the current date in [[Real Life]], through the use of [[Comic Book Time]], but throughout history, people with superpowers have changed the way the world developed. Currently there are significant differences with [[Real Life]]. In general, the most successful company on the planet is [[Mega Corp|HardeWare Systems]], created and powered by the biggest genius on the planet [[Ditzy Genius|HardeWare]] and led by [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Peter Vanderheijden]]. This company was responsible for the creation of the intercontinental [[Portal Network]] that spans Earth (and also the moon). In addition to this they also sell robotics and weaponry to both the military and civilians. Mostly know for their chain of HardeWare Stores where supernormals can buy dietary supplements, powered armour and all sorts of other gadgets and weapons.

{{tropelist}}

* [[All Myths Are True]]: Almost but not quite. Mythological figures are actually early supernormals who realized what they could do if they grouped up.

* [[Artificial Limbs]]: A common staple of the technology of this world.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Cache, Peter and several other characters.

* [[Deflector Shields]]: Kinetic barrier technology and the [[Barrier Warrior|Ostrakinesis]] power are capable of creating objects that feel solid yet have no mass. These can be as simple as shields and blades but alos have applications with entertainment when combined with holograms.

* [[Emotion Control]]: Empaths can make people happy, sad, angry etc.

* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Psammokinesis allows one to throw sand in their eyes as well as the ability to move and shatter glass.

* [[Neural Implanting]]: A still somewhat experimental technology used for such things as data storage and retrieval or hands free control of devices.

* [[Not Quite Flight]]: While there's no explicit flight power available there are several abilities that can induce it such as ventrokinesis, gravitokinesis, Ostrakinesis or good old fashioned wings.

* [[Organic Technology]]: Insectoids use this as their chief form of technology though they have been known to steal human tech as well.

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Since vampirism and other [[Viral Transformation|afflictions]] in this world are more scientifically based the vampires are just your run of the mill super powered humans that can't go out in sunlight.

* [[Paper Master]]: Arborkinetics can not only control paper but ANYTHING with cellulose in them including throwing around trees and attacking with vines. They cannot, however, make them grow.

* [[Phlebotinum Du Jour]]: So many of the characters have carbon nano-tube weave in their clothes you'd think it was the best thing since sliced bread. While most people mistake it for true armour it would be more accurately be described as an extremely thin cloth that does not tear.

* [[Poisonous Person]]: a variety of such powers exist including acid.

* [[Portal Network]]: Interesting two similar versions. An airport style global network of portals is available for travel between major countries and continents. However, largely unknown to most humans, is a galaxy wide system of permanent folds in space, known as bookmark systems, powered by harnessing the power of stars with a ring of solar sails. The bookmark system requires space ships with portal making capability in order to access them as a sort of way to make sure alien races don't use it till they're advanced enough.
