Terra CTR

[Monkey_Dunno]

Just some thoughts.

Powers and abilities that should be added:

• Superhuman Physical Characteristics

• Energy Projection (Here and Here)

• Water Manipulation (Here)

• Vibration Manipulation (Here)

• Magma Manipulation

• Limited Air Manipulation (Accidentally created a twister of sand)

• Limited Explosion Manipulation (here and here)

• Pseudo-Flight (Duh)

• Weapon Creation and Camouflage (Here)

The Attack Potency thing is weirdly written, shouldn't it be "Small Town Level normally. at most City Level at her highest", "Small Town Level up to City Level" or something like that?

Can't say nothing about the speed, lifting strength seems fine.

The striking strength part is wrong as Terra didn't broke Robin's staff with a kick, she used pebble to plow through it. However, she could momentarily knock out Beast Boy with an upper cut and somewhat fight evenly against Robin.

In the Durability part it can be mentioned that she took several attacks from the Teen Titans.

Range: Several dozens of meters

The water-manipulation and air-manipulation were only PSEUDO-water-manip and PSEUDO-air-manip, in both cases because the fluid in questio happened to be inundated with particles of earth/dirt. In the case of the "water," it was actually mud. It's similar to the "metal manipulation" that metal-benders have in Avatar: TLA and TLOK--They don't actually manipulate the metal, but rather particles of dirt that are still in the metal. If the metal is exceptionally pure, then they can't manipulate it. Same with Terra "manipulating" air or water. You did already point out that the air-manipulation is "limited," but my point is that the water-manipulation is also just as limited.

The Vibration Manipulation doesn't count because it is from the comics accompanying the series, and the comics are non-cano (none of the show's writers had any input on them).

The Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Energy Manip, Magma Manip, Explosion Manip, Pseudo-Flight, Weapon Creation, and Camouflage (although I would call it limited camouflage) are all definitely 100% legit. The other stuff all seems legit as well except for what you said about the AP, as I will now explain. Neither what you proposed, nor how it is already written, is right. The City Level AP only applies to a very special case when she uses a suicide attack that turns her to stone in the process. Thus why it is written the way it is. The AP actually SHOULD be revised, but instead of what you proposed, it should be: "Small Town Level normally, up to City Level with a suicide attack."

Edit: There is a big typo in the title of the thread that you should correct. You wrote "CTR" which would be "Content Thread Revision," lmao it should be "CRT" for "Content Revisoin Thread." No big deal at all, it just looks kinda silly XD

The water manip isn't exactly water manip, yeah. She threw mud around because she has power over the dirt that composes it. The air manip link isn't loading for me.

Other stuff seems fine. I don't know how we consider the comics. Ask King, I guess.

The air manipulation was basically: She created a tornado of air as a side-effect of a tornado of sand. It is pseudo-Air Manipulation, rather than the real thing.

I am almost positive that the Titans Go comics are not canon to the TV series. None of the writers or people behind the TV series had any actual input on the comics, and there are some very noticable out-of-character moments and weird stuff that doesn't make sense in some issues of the comics. Can't cite any examples off-hand from memory, but I specifically remember reading the comics and often thinking "there is no way these are canon with how out-of-character everybody is acting."

Thanks for taking a look at this, Wokistan!

@Monkey Dunno: Looks like you pretty much have the go-ahead for now to add everything besides the water manipulation, air manipulation, and vibration manipulation. I do highly recommend, though, editing the AP to be the way I worded it: "Small Town Level normally, up to City Level with a suicide attack that turns her to stone." Because the one and only time we saw her use AP above Small Town Level, was with a literal suicide-attack.

Edit: Merely triggering the volcano wasn't necessarily a City-Level feat, despite what her profile currently says. A volcano has many aspects of a chaotic dynamical-system, and as such, can be triggered with a far lower amount of energy than the actual output of the resulting eruption. Her city-tier feat was when she STOPPED the volcano, and that was a suicide-attack.

The water Manipulation was more about the conversion thing to mud, there's also the fact that the golems that she created alongside Slade could also fire water. However, I see your point and agree with the limited thing as the context doesn't give much information about how Terra did this (turning water to mud)

Didn't know that stuff about the comics. However, Terra should still have it regardless as according to Slade her powers were able to cause earthquakes.


I wasn't talking about the context of the feat, I was talking about how it was written because it was iffy. Saying "Small Town Level normally. City Level at most" just sounds wrong.

However, triggering the attack didn't "kill" Terra, it was her attempt to stop it.

My bad.

Thanks for the comment.

As I pointed out in an edit to my last comment: Her currently listed City Level AP is definitely improperly worded, anyway. It says that she is City Level for TRIGGERING the volcano. But a volcano is a chaotic dynamical-system, and as such, a small perturbation in the system can result in a much larger change. Meaning that the power required to TRIGGER a city-tier eruption does not itself have to be anywhere near city-tier. Her only definitively Tier 7-B feat was stopping the volcano, and that was, as I've said, a suicide-attack. I definitely think her AP should be revised to what I said: "Small Town Level normally, up to City Level with a suicide attack which turns her own body to stone as a side-effect."

Good point about the vibration manipulation. However, I would say it should be listed as limited vibration manipulation, for the reason that it only applies to earth/dirt/rocks and not to any object whatsoever.

Other stuff seems fine. I don't know how we consider the comics.

They aren't canon to the animated series, and Terra acts at least somewhat differently in them VS her animated portrayal.

 

[Monkey_Dunno]

Guess that I can agree with this.

Kinda disagree here. As Terra didn't use any "attack" or it was stated that her turning into stone was a mere result of this, the only explanation given so far is in the comics, were is said that it was a self-defense mechanism. I agree that it should be revised and it doesn't apply to Terra normally, but i don't see it as an outright "suicidal attack" on it's own.

Good point about the vibration manipulation. However, I would say it should be listed as limited vibration<p manipulation, for the reason that it only applies to earth/dirt/rocks and not to any object whatsoever.

Fair enough, I guess.

Lol that's what I thought. Man it's not just Terra, basically EVERYBODY acts out-of-character in the Titans Go comics. The worst offender is Raven, she acts waaaay out-of-character in some of the issues of the comic. . . .either too silly, too emotional, too interested in the idea of dating/romance, whatever it is, she always seems to be out-of-character in the comic compared to what we saw of her in the show. To the point that it makes me wonder if the guys who wrote the comic have any real understanding of her character, at all. And then there are the weird plotlines in the comic like Raven having a zit that somehow turns into a freaking manifestation of Trigo. . . .like a literal pimple that turns into a freaking demon, dude. . . .that shit is just downright stupid, and could never POSSIBLY be canon to the actual TV show. Lmao.


@Monkey Dunno:

My mistake was using the word "attack." It was a suicide. . . .something. Lol. Not exactly an attack, not exactly a defense either. But whatever it was, the fact is that she wasn't able to summon that tier of power (Tier 7-B) without killing herself by turning to stone.

Soooo, to bump this thread:

What should the consensus be, at this point, on the additions to Terra's profile? Should we be good to go ahead and change the description of her attack potency to explain that it's only 7-B with a suicide technique? And what about adding Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Limited Explosion Manipulation, Energy Projection, Pseudo-Flight, Limited Camouflage, Weapon Creation, and Limited Vibration Manipulation to her profile?

If people are okay with all these changes, then I can make the edits myself if that would be easiest.

Edit: Also, the 7-B thing needs to be edited not only to explain that it is only with a suicide technique, but to change it from saying that it is from triggering the volcano (which as I explained, isn't necessarily 7-B) to instead saying that it is for stopping the volcano. Can people agree on this, as well?

 

[Goodyfresh]

Anyone? Bump?
