Unofficial Powers and Abilities Addition Thread Infinite

Oh yeah, I just remembered that I had another ability suggestion since it's something I noticed is decently common in media. That being different aspect types for Acausality.

I've noticed that various media types tend to have 2 types of acausality, mental and physical. The most obvious examples of mental versions are things like Steins Gate and Undertale, where characters are capable of remembering past events however they aren't actually resistant to alterations made to their past themselves such as death. Physical acausality however is basically the page version we have now, where characters are just completely separated from the causal effects and aren't effected by such alterations.

Due to there being no distinction between the two, it results in profiles having acausality listed which are just fundamentally inferior to other types in the same category since one is infinitely more limited than the other. So much so that it is useless in most VS fights since the main thing they'd be trying to avoid is alterations to their physical past.

I'd image it would, but it's nice to throw the idea at the wall to see other opinions for it. Especially for something like this where it's already a fairly complicated and diverse powerset

I assume one factor would be the number of characters that have the differences

It sucks, but the project is essentially going through the pages with "Blessed" and swapping it with "Empowerment", and then making sure the verbiage is approximately correct. This may be deserving of a project outside of this thread, since there's 766 of the ******* and that's a lot of proofreading. 'specially since the others don't seem inclined to join us in this crusade.

Rintarou Okabe (granted this profile is actual garbage), Undertale as mentioned before, practically the entire Lupin III main cast in a future update, Gumball's cast, DDLC and of course the most obvious example not on the wiki, Marty Mc-Goddamn-Fly who could still remember his own future despite it progressively erasing. These are some examples that I can think of off-hand that have characters that mentally are acausal, however either have nothing showing evidence towards physically being immune or just outright have examples of them being just as vulnerable as a normal person if they were physically killed.

Back to the future is probably the strongest argument for this being prominent enough as it's literally one of, if not the most well know example, of time travel in media history.

That mostly being listed as limited or minor acausality type 1

I can see it being argued as such, however if we were to consider it like that then acausality has been very forgiving in that regard since none of the examples I named have that and I don't think I've ever seen a profile that does.

Would somebody be willing to create a separate staff forum thread for this project? 🙏
 
Maybe, but it would require some programming skills in this area, and also likely not be case-by-case flexible enough. 🙏

Would Enigma have Type 5 Acausality within Overspace?

Compared to The Beyonders, Enigma doesn't have a subjective linear chronology because its omnitemporal, meaning it was always already a Dominion and always will be one even before it came into existence. Enigma was trapped at the moment of its destruction for all eternity due this fact.

This may seem like just Type 1, 2 and 4. And it is, but that's just Enigma within space-time.

Enigma in Overspace is completely transcendent of even this level of causality and completely outside of things like fear, death and linearity as concepts. Adding to that, it's presented as being above the multiversal Abstracts and Beyonders in power and scope, exists within The Mystery, and is presented as being on the same kind of level as the existence of the Eighth Cosmos White Hot Room.

Wrong thread?
 
Damn. I was confusing this for the one where you ask about P&A.

Where's that thread?

There's no specific thread for just the Dominions. He can just put it in the regular Marvel discussion thread to be looked for in the future.

I know this is my third time here lol but I keep finding weird things when revising entire verses.

Why the hell does Free Movement still exist, it's basically 1 for 1 with Acrobatics under "Surface Running". The only difference between the two being that Free Movement abilities can also include characters who don't accomplish it through sheer speed, however the Acrobatics page just outright says that's Surface Scaling.

What?
Free Movement covers stuff like water walking, how would that be covered under Acrobatics ever?

  • Surface Running: By stepping on any solid (or even liquid) surface and continuing to move, the user is capable of moving on walls, ceilings, and other irregular surfaces. Unlike Surface Scaling, a user needs to keep their speed in order to keep moving across the surface, falling back once they lose momentum.
 
Hey, is there a page based on the concept of Hyperfocusing? Or somewhere that can fit into?

Essentially the power to completely singlehandedly focus your mind onto a certian thing(s) and ignore everything else at any given moment on command? I can imagine this is useful in preventing distractions, or being able to block out things such as hypnosis or external stimuli in matchup debates
 
I think we should have a "Recovery" ability, some people may think healing is enough to cover it, but it's not, because Recovery usually only recover things like Stamina, Mana, Qi and so on

I don't know much about Ki (Qi?) but stamina and mana tend to just be naturally recovering resources.

Yes, but sometimes it takes hours or entire days to recover (and sometimes it's not even 100%) that's why a lot of media have the recovery potions/pills
 
Has there ever been any ideas for a Plant/Non-animal Physiology page? I know some verses have their own pages like PVZ and the like, but I'm curious if you all think its important enough to warrant its own page.

What about Life Link? Has nothing to do with immortality (Type 8).

If a Supreme Kai dies then a God of Destruction will die too.

If Piccolo dies then Kami will die too.
Click to expand...
I think the problem with that being a hax ability is that it isn't really much of an ability? Like the two examples you provide are more-so weaknesses of the character and not really combat applicable. There are combative versions of life-linking as well, but those usually fall under other hax like damage transferal, soul manipulation, or just death manipulation.
 
Is it a bad idea to split fate hax ?

Like
fate hax type 1 fundamental - the fixxed underlying pattern/order of reality or the absolute course of reality as a whole

Fate hax type 2-the pre established ,fixxed (unchangeable )and inescapable course of events
usually comparable to the script or similar metaphors are used to express it

Fate hax type 3- a pre established future(s) determined by a present choice/action
This version is usually associated with possibilities/pontentialities

Are there any plans for a page akin to Thievery/Sleight of Hand, if not an existing page?

Edit: I feel it isn't a false comparison to say that these are much in the same vein as, say, Acrobatics and Weapon Mastery.
Click to expand...
Yh it would be cool to have a page that outlines general mastery of theivery, alongside supernatural stealing abilities like item swaps
 
Nullflowerblush said:
A Heart Purity page, perhaps?
Click to expand...
Would be interesting if that granted any P&As on its own, quite often that's quite verse-specific to the point it defeats the point of a P&A page, at best it'd have to be like Supernatural Willpower in terms of requiring it to specifically grant something by extension.
 
I can't recall why the idea of a Dermal Armor/Bulletproof page was rejected. The idea that being superhumanly durable and being bulletproof/bladeproof are separate attributes is near-omnipresent throughout the medium of fiction itself.
