Power Suggestions Meme
The Power Suggestion Meme
(DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO FIND AN APPROPRIATE GIF FOR THIS MEME)
So coming up with new powers to gain in Cosmographia can be pretty hard. Maybe you're fresh out of ideas, and Superpower Wiki isn't giving you any good hits. Thankfully, you're in a game with a bunch of super creative people whose brains you can pick to see what powers they think would be a good match for your character -- and likewise, if you have a neat suggestion for them, you can let them know!
This meme is pretty simple! There's just a few steps;
• Post a toplevel comment with your character. List any current powers they have and any planned trajectory you have in mind for them, power wise or in terms of character growth and development.
• Comment around and people up with powers you think would suit their characters. These can be either silly or serious -- just have fun with it!
• actually now i think about it there's really only two steps uhhh GO WILD I GUESS AND BE MOST EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER

Kaneki Ken
I don't have any plans or ideas as of yet as far as his powers go, so any and all suggestions would be welcome! Particularly, maybe a power that he can use more readily such as Gem Sight, as opposed to something that only comes into play when it's needed. I'm open to anything though!
no subject
Hammer spaceGem space ability? Storing items in his gem that he can take out and use later.He could carry all the books.
no subject
But no, that's a really good idea actually...I'll keep that in mind, thank you, Mew!

Become one with the library!
no subject
...Though that could be a horrible idea combined with the Gem hammerspace, if it ever accidentally activates while he's transferring stuff in or out. Unless the lasers come out of his good eye instead?
no subject
That's an interesting idea though! Especially since Kaneki's already got lots of weird things going on with his Gem; I'll consider it!
Flowey | Undertale
But I'm completely at a loss when it comes to more powers that he should have, so any suggestions are welcome.
no subject
I also feel like it'd be interesting to see Flowey with some kind of healing ability. One that gets stronger the more he uses it on others. It could be bright green, like in-game -- maybe even take on the same sort of forms it does during that big boss fight?

Alice Smith | Twitch Plays Pokémon
no subject
...Like, the visual that keeps coming to mind is something where Alice envisions directions in her head, like a mental DDR game. And the better she is at matching those steps, the faster she moves. It'd be a tricky power to master, and frankly, she'd probably find herself bumping into walls, trash cans and other obstacles at first, but eventually, as she gets the hang of it, not only would it enable her to cover ground faster, but all of the mental arrows would be helping her navigate around obstacles.
...Does that make sense? (|^_^|)'
Naomi Kimishima | Trauma Team (CRAU)
Right now, I'm thinking about blocking empathy skills and further developing a sensitivity to other voices like how she could hear ghosts in-canon. Of course, if I can't figure out how to word it exactly, I think I might upgrade her barriers at this point.
Adrien Agreste | Miraculous
Right now, I'm thinking about either giving him back Cataclysm with appropriate side effects from using too much here, or Luck Absorption which would require a permission post, but also result in people suffering from random bouts of good luck/bad luck when he's around. Beyond that, I'm open to other suggestions even some on the more absurd side.
no subject
Cataclysm would be an interesting power to see played with in gem terms -- especially since in canon we see a few times when it gets used on objects Adrien wasn't originally planning for it to be used on.
Maybe playing off the dark/cat powers you could also look into something like slight of hand or shadow-like abilities. Or if you want something really absurd maybe a more Adrien power of "the ability to never take a bad photograph"
no subject
Yeah. I mean, I played around with thinking how using it too much might affect him negatively here since he can't exactly de-transform from using it, and also how it would affect gem monsters because: 1) we don't know how it affects living things, and 2) if it affects gem monsters, would it destroy their gem if only the body is touched since technically one and the same.
Oh, this is true... Shadow-like abilities sound so cool! And oh god, he would be the envy of models everywhere on accident... maybe attract tourists to Waverly Bay though.
no subject
You could do some pretty messed up stuff and deal with the consequences -- but I'm not sure if you're the type to play "Break the Cutie" with your muses |Db
That just made me think of another ability: attraction. That would end
amazinglyterribly.no subject
I sent sweet little Isabelle from Animal Crossing to Dangan Roleplay. I do not mind breaking the cutie at all.
Oh no always active charm ability... It's bad I'm considering.
no subject
|Db Terrible things to consider -- destruction powers can get pretty nasty.
I am encouraging charm ability :3 Adrien misses having all the girls swooning right?
no subject
Indeed they can... I almost want to give them to him, but I might have to check with the mods how much Cataclysm would affect.
He's totally missing that. Just... excited to be stalked and gawked at.
Anri | Jashin Average
For her next ability, I can't decide between shadow form or some kind of spooky teleport.
Jaune Arc | RWBY
As far as next steps -- most of what I have planned from his initial app are support based powers: healing aura and power enhancement. Eventually his force shields will turn into actual force fields -- but that's a bit in development too.
I realized after having him fight some gem monsters though that I don't really have a good offensive ability for him yet. I know eventually I'd like him to be able to upgrade his weapon summoning to involve a sword. But unfortunately RWBY hasn't shown much of Jaune's symblance or powers. He's not the best in combat in canon which is why most of the stuff I thought of was support based.
His namesake is Joan of Arc so something pulling from that wouldn't be bad.
no subject
No I'm kidding that's terribleAh... well, Joan of Arc heard the voice of God and he told her things about battle ahead of time so what if... some kind of precognition?
no subject
Jaune setting himself on fire would be both hilarious and terribleI was actually debating some kind of light-based abilities to go with the "holy" thing
I play Kingdom Hearts which is kind of where I got that idea fromAre we allowed those abilities or was it just we can't have Garnet-level "Future Vision". If anything I could always downgrade that to a "Danger Sense" ala Spider-man
no subject
Or maybe he's just like the Torch and he has to set himself on fire. It just hurts the first few times or needs an upgrade to stop the pain.Oh, that could work too. Something like Photon or Judgment...
Hm... I'm not sure. It would be something to ask the mods about. I think "Danger Sense" might be a safe bet though if you wanna do it.
no subject
Maybe WAAAAY down the line we can play with Jaune getting set on fire. I think I have some other abilities in mind first.Danger sense I would probably put on the backburner -- I have a lot of support based ideas for him, so I'd like more abilities that can be offense in nature. But these ideas are helpful!
no subject
Fair enoughSounds good. Well... I can see one of his sword upgrades being maybe a holy blade. Other offensive abilities... Berserker Mode. Though, now I'm just thinking about that part in Volume 2 Epi 12 how he kinda went at that Ursa more wildly swinging than anything.
no subject
I like the holy blade idea though.
no subject
Gosh this is hard not knowing his semblance. I definitely think looking into some kind of light-based magic could work. Even if it's like... Hama from Persona, or Holy from FF.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Alternately, I noticed below you were thinking of something perhaps Holy/Light-based. What if you gave him Solar Beam? Just shoot a beam out of your hand, Jaune. You're now Iron Man. Or X-Ray just without the glasses. XD
no subject
But honestly rainbow powers would still go along with an eventual light-based power. Since rainbows come from re-fractured light. So that would just help my case more!
no subject
And haha, this is true! Jaune Arc: Man of Rainbows.
no subject
He has a watch shield and a hat to turn him invisible like his girlfriend does, but otherwise, I really dunno what to do with him.
