Desu the Blue Nerd Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 [quote name='Jake the Sage' timestamp='1346892797' post='6019920'] I haven't had the time and when someone said they have the entire thing for me to grab I took the chance.. Basically unless I hadn't been given that oppertunity I'd have never gone through with seeing it until a very long time has passed. [color=#0000CD]At least you're finally getting to it.[/color] Though to be honest again I don't think I'll be able to use spiral force [color=#0000CD]Thank god.[/color] Okay actually I just read it and the answer is absolutely, positively no. I CANNOT use Spiral Energy because it is based on "the power of evolution, symbolized by a drill, generated by DNA-based beings such as humans whose double helix molecular structure". Becaue of that, specifically the latter part, I am unable to use it considering I'm not human and don't even have DNA . . . [color=#0000CD]Well it's more about having the ability to evolve. Not about being human. Other creatures can do it. Although thinking about what you are you might still not be able to use it.[/color] So yeah, I can only pilot the mecha. [color=#0000CD]Seriously, I'll smack you.[/color] [color=#EE82EE]Wait.....I think [i]I[/i] might be able to use Spiral Power, [/color] [color=#0000CD]*Raises hand.*[/color] [color=#EE82EE]but I'm not interested in it at all. [/color] [color=#0000CD]*Lowers hand.*[/color] [color=#EE82EE]Unlike Dad I don't go looking for new powers/abilities/skills to add to the ever massing bundle I already have or might have.

[/quote] Well by definition potential is: [b] potential[/b] [b] po·ten·tial [puh-ten-shuhl][/b] [color=#333333]adjective[/color] [color=#333333]1.[/color] possible, as opposed to actual: the potential uses of nuclear energy. 2.[color=#333333] capable[/color] of being or becoming: a potential danger to safety. 3.Grammar .

I can easily become a danger to safety in many places, though most of the time I'd not; however the potential always remains. [hr] I am a void . . . mainly existing of consciousness and universal energy. I only have a body because otherwise it is impossible to speak with people; unless you are a great psychic that is. And yeah I suppose I can't pilot Gurren Laggen mechas after all. That sucks . . . so in that dimension I can't do sh*t (XD) Yet another place I become more or less powerless!

The Warden Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Maybe, but we're not [i]directly[/i] copying, that's the difference. To make something yours, you have to take your own spin on it, even if done before. I utilize a wide variety of powers because I know how they work and thus am able to take my own unique spin on using em. Above all, I use them because I can see the potential in them. My greatest strength is and always will be knowledge. I know the strengths and potential in abilities, and I also know their weaknesses. Would I use an absolute power? No, because what fun is there without the risk of losing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warden Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 But if they're not yours, you're basically just doing what nay crossover would do. If they're not yours to begin with, combining them still doesn't make them yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [color=#0000CD]Well having a complete resistance to only bullets was originally a joke that had been made in an MMO I used to play. Not just something I saw on TV and thought was cool. And my weapon "spawning" does have a bit of a twist (ignoring that although seeming not very original it's not something I've actually seen much of before I started using it) seeing as how it's just transporting created weapons from a secret armory to my current location which would also in turn give me the weakness that if I'm not in the normal dimension I can't spawn any weaopons. But the idea was more of "hey, I like weapons so why not be able to use them a lot and focus my power on them."[/color] [color=#0000CD]And yes, pretty much all ideas have been used already but there's still an attempt to be original.

Jake the Sage Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have good sportsmanship DF. I don't use Shadow Clones and considering the aclehmy part I actually put a lot of thought into it and it isn't something I can easily use without risking being beaten quite easily; also I can't do the same thing as the Alchemist brothers do where they clap their hands together and use alchemy without having the circles draw. I have to have the circles as well as the preconditions for my type of alchemy. And I don't just see it and decide to use it. I have to consider if I can actually use it and if it fits with how I am. Spiral Energy and Water Bending for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake the Sage Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Okay so I use it in the most extreme cases, when I am certain I have no other way out and have had the foresight to think of it. But other than that I don't have much use for shadow clones or see the point in making one when they vanish after one hit. As for the alchemy it requires everything normal alchemy does, energy and a incantation circle, as well as it's own preresiquets to utilize it; in fact I have to still look up the incantation circles to do simple magic, I had to memorize my incantation circle and that is the only one I can draw from memory.

I cannot use it to move anything larger than a puddle of water and then I can do nothing more than hold it or move it around a bit; even then breaking my concentration causes it to drop to the ground. As for wind control I am quite adept at it but the most I can do is make small tornadoes and nothing more. Choking people by pulling the air out of their lungs is beyond me . . . We've already discussed why I cannot use Spiral Energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 In most bodies, oxygen and water are vital for survival. Using wind, you can suck the very air from their lungs and let them suffocate as you pull the air away from them, leaving them in an empty space. Likewise, you can control the water in their bodies to turn them into a living puppet, as the muscles, the brain, practically everything in a living body has water in it. Or, you can merely pull the water out via whatever pathways you choose, leaving them a dried husk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
