So, cybernetics...

That could work.
Implanted and unstable AI(Like my character in the current semi-serious RP.)
Ways to keep characters alive for a prolonged period of time.
Fun with murder bots.

Not to mention Sirius, a character I made and love, has two augment arms.
Mechanical strength and bone breaking punches yaaaaaaaaay

Human. He's about 20 and was raised from the age of 7 to be a ruthless assassin.
Unfortunately, that didn't completely work and he ended up killing his adoptive father that was also his boss and the one who killed his parents.
There's other details, but it'd be a tad lengthy.

I do though think the soul stuff will work fine.

I just got back from playing games, etc. Marx, you do not get to make this call.

This RP, in any way, is not built on hard science. The solution could be a simple as it being Coro's inherent property, meaning he is the only one capable of doing it without someone losing all of their body. This would require soul-based fuckery since you basically die, which, if Coro's job is the same as last time, would end in him getting fired. Hell, it could even be the inherent property of a Reaper's physical body, meaning no-one else gets it, without being in the right criteria to become a reaper without dying.

?What about Nano-Bots? Would they exist, and if yes, how would they work and how advanced would they be?

...So wait I get Coro was important to the previous iteration of the RP, but why are you automatically keen on making an exception to the "ohgod not more shapeshifting" quasi-rule for Coro? I thought it had pretty much been agreed upon - even in the semiserious RP, for heathen's sake - that any significant amount of shapeshifting is severely mildly aggravating at times.

Note: Also, I'm back... Already. After my little freakout I realized that the rest of my usual internet activities are much more boring without the Nexus being around too. (I mean asides from TVTropes, which now sits at 529 bookmarks in my menu. Aaaaa.)

Because we 1, already have souls and the afterlife, 2, have psychics, 3, have a dream anomaly, and 4, I did the precursor plot already.

I also never said that I would actually make it canon, only that Marx could not make the call about shapeshifting and suggested examples to support me. Whether or not shapeshifting appears depends on if Coro wants to do that character again.

I did wish to have the same character as before. i wished to keep her TF's down alot more as i felt it was rather high before which is why i was considering the consequences. and i simply wished it as it is a minor aspect of her to be able to do. She has always enjoyed learning about other races and using a inherited trait from her mother, she changes into the race she wishes to learn about. the consequences before were that she had to deal with all the natural instincts that come into being that race. she truly became what she changed into which often caused confusion for awhile but i feel its not enough so i added the additional issues should she be able to use it more than the initial time

as for the method of her transformation if anyone missed it before as it was explained along time ago. Coro's mother Yol naturally had insanely chaotic genetics to a point where she changed often from the environment around her. similar to an eevee except that the DNA is not stabilized after the change allowing another drastic change. This manifested in her children whom all have nothing in common by looks to her. Yol was born from a dragon and human where the dragon was cursed into a human form. the DNA was still there for the dragon but was altered and unstable due to not being her natural form. this is the origin of it. this trait passed to all Yol's young and indeed to Corosar.

Corosar uses this to her advantage by using a heavily modified atomic teleportation device (which is a watch like device on her right wrist.) to rearange her DNA and body into that of the race she wishes to change into. she adopts the mind of the race she becomes. unlike her mother that can change without help Coro can't at all without the device. she also needs a DNA sample before she can change.

though again... that is if she will be able to change after the initial time.

That is an amazing wall of text and I hope I do not have to implement it this time around.

I would like to not have a big pile of things that must be explained, and giving you your own inherent property seems wasteful. I would rather it be part of another property, so if you're still doing the reaper job it can be tied in as I suggested before.

as i said its more a background trait she had. i don't think its gonna come up at all. as for the reaper job yea she is definitely would have that available.

Good to see you back!
Also, your profile picture and signature look really interesting...

You can actually go back to the Nexus RP threads on Chucklefish and see for yourself.
That was a first attempt, though- I'm going to refine him so his story and character make a bit more sense (i.e. just a mask does not constitute a complete disguise).

Speaking of which, are we going to go with that idea I suggested and you built onto about paranormal activity and ethereal beings?
If so, I might work that into Sirius' character/plot- it'd be interesting if he had the ghost of the man who trained him as an advisor.

Hmm... I wonder if cybernetics are worth using with psionic powers? Would that be considered op? I think I am going to focus on making one character use psionics, but how do Avali fair with that kind of ability?

Avali are 0.8 and are difficult psychics.

Note on terminology: Psionic both refers to mind-to-mind psychic skills and those who can use said skills, similar with Psychokinetics. Psychic is a catch-all term for both Psionics and Psychokinetics.

I understand that, but since we keep talking about the specific branches (psionics and psychokinetics) then I just end up saying one or the other. I could start saying psychics if it starts to bother others. You said we were discussing psionics so I wasn't sure if we were doing anything psychokinetic related. Unless we are doing everything, but just nerfing the op abilities or banning them. I think I might try to do an Avali still. I mean I can just easily do a Kineptic, but what would be the fun of doing that? I need some challenge. As long as my character doesn't suffer dire consequences or something then it should be doable.

Sooo... How's the progress on the bit about Psychokinesis?

Ill do a Sigmund and throw something down.

Brain waves influence gravitons, extremely limited range, can be amplified with tuned magnets?

Should I bother elaborating?

REVERSE SIGMUND. I have been drained for some time which is why I wasn't here, but you're still an ass for trying.

Simple version:

Energy fields, or something. Some shit about manifestation of will or psi or whatever aesop I need you to learn today.

Can also use it to LIFT OBJECTS and throw them. Also based on aesop energy.

Cybernetics let you plant probes into your hands to let you fuck around with the properties of matter at a hefty energy cost. Melt your friends!
