Grrl Power #355 – Aerial areal detour
Sydney’s wrist-com and choker… (I mean cool tactical throat mic that’s not sexualized at all, especially when Maxima confronted Arianna about it when they were originally proposed…) Anyway, they both have trackers in them, so it would be simple for Maxima to find her.
When you ask people what super power they’d like to have, I think the answer varies based on their demographics. Kids tends to want to fly, partially because that would be awesome and partially because they haven’t thought of more subtle and complex powers like probability manipulation that would let them clean up in Vegas or lotteries or whatever. Especially young males may give you the answer along the lines of “Be able to drive a tank” or “Have a dinosaur as a friend” because the concept of super powers may not be entirely clear to them, though both of those things would certainly be pretty sweet to a 6 year old. Adolescent males will as often as not answer “invisibility”… because they are adolescent males, though that may be an artifact of every generation before recent ones where unlimited access to seeing naked women is a few keystrokes away. “The internet in my head” might be a viable answer these days.
I have little insight into what females of any given age may answer beyond the usual popular choices of flight and, well, to be fair, invisibility still probably ranks highly, though perhaps not for as unrelentingly prurient reasons. A female friend of mine once answered the question with “invisibility” but it was so she could not be noticed… not like a thief, but so she could escape embarrassing social situations.
If I had to pick now, excluding any big universe altering power like one might find on the Infinity Gauntlet, I’d probably go with Harem’s power, so I could draw this comic faster, but also work on one or two other comics I have buzzing around in my head. (And still have time to play video games) That or some sort of skill copying powers like the Taskmaster. I’d go around conventions shaking the hands of all my favorite comic artists and writers. And maybe one guy who was a super successful commodities broker.
Update: Fixed Max’s missing hat logo and posted a wallpaper-ish sized version over at DA.
Here’s the link to the new comments highlighter for chrome, and the GitHub link which you can use to install on FireFox via Greasemonkey.
Final Fantasy white mage abilities would be fun. Healing and protections.
Not to mention a limited elemental offense skillset. nothing a Black Mage couldn’t do better, but limited hydrokinesis is still hydrokinesis.
And Float. Don’t forget about casting Float.
Evidently, the best way to get comments is to ask everyone what powers they would want. Great record!
Asking for odd and unusual names is another. :D
I know every power has been done in the 5 pages of comments I just skimmed for author comments and nobody will probably see this cause the new page will be coming out soon but its just too fun a question to pass up.
So here goes:
Instead of humdrum old fashioned immortality I would go for a sort of partial reincarnation. Every time you manage to die you are reincarnated in a new body sort of like Doctor Who but without the limit on how many times you can do it (sooooo, yeah, basically just like Doctor Who…. ).
Like the aforementioned good Doctor you get to keep your memories and personality.
Unlike him you don’t have a fuzzy period where you have to figure out who you are or whatnot after changing/dying and your personality is an exact copy of the last one you had before dying (Doctor Who’s can change quite a bit sometimes right away).
At least at first. You can forget things with time, or misplace memories, like ordinary people, and your personality can change over time as it is influenced by your new form, perhaps new levels of certain brain influencing chemicals, new mental abilities or lack there of (you aren’t always a super genius like the good Doc but instead move up and down from “would have had trouble getting passing grades in high school” to super genius).
_________________
And no I would not shrivel up and go mad from my friends and loved ones dying. I love my pets just about as much or more than most humans I interact with (don’t start drowning near me at the same time my dog is drowning just down the bank or there is a VERY good chance you will drown ) so that kind of attitude would have killed me off a long time ago. As someone else said on an earlier comment page you would pick yourself up and make new connections. Grandma lived to be over a 100. Her favorite sons moved far away and rarely visited. Her beloved husband died just before they were to retire together. She lost most of her friends in the decades after that. She made new friends, started new careers (went to college at 75! to become a social worker) and engaged in many activities. What killed her was that she thought she wouldn’t be able to physically play the piano anymore. She had been playing since before 6 years old and couldn’t adjust to the idea of not being able to play. So she willed herself to die. Still took over a week of not taking water or food to kill her at 101 years of age. Her body was tough…
Anyway what you can live with or can’t live without is different for everybody I guess. For me constant change and exploration both inside and out would add some nice spice to immortality. And if you managed to land a mind body combination you preferred then it would give you some incentive to not die so fast that incarnation. (so you wouldn’t be constantly happily killing yourself to get a new set up. LOL! Cause the random character generator can also be cruel… )
Side note, EVERYONE goes mad from watching their friends and loved ones age and turn to dust eventually. Just a matter of time and our minds just aren’t made to withstand that sorta knowledge repeatedly. Hundred years? No problem? Five hundred? maybe. A Thousand? could be. Five hundred thousand? … if you’re not feeling by now you’re lying.
If you’re not feeling it as a distant pressure on your mind by now you’re lying* kinda wish that there was an edit button here.
Memory fades. For a lot of people’s memory, assuming they changed their name a few times, they would be doing good to remember their original name after that many years. That’s why people often tell the same stories over and over again. Its one of the ways you hold on to favorite memories: by converting them into a mostly text story where by the end you would be doing good to have a few, possibly 80% false, images to go with it.
So unless you had a very good memory as an additional power the pain of the losses of the distant past would keep fading as new bonds are continually formed. And its not like you would find a soul mate every other day or anything. Probably be a generation or four in a row where you just hung out with some people you liked for a while.
Basically, if you weren’t the kind of person to crack in the first hundred years or so you probably wouldn’t crack at all. (and probably would start keeping recordings and such of favorite memories once you realized they were fading on you… )
Achilles is probably still looking for his woodcarvings, to refresh his memory. “I know I left them somewhere near Troy…”
Was thinking something more along the lines of Deja-Vu induced depression.
The only options in this area aren’t feeling the stress or you are lying… it is entirely possible for someone to be a successful sociopath and have a stunted to nonexistent emotional reality and therefore minimal stress from loss.
True. Sad, but true.
Bet Deus would fall under this group.
Besides the aforementioned memory issues (seriously, there are a lot of psychological and neurological studies already done on memory that show why ‘you would eventually go into super depression’ are wrong, not the least of which is limited memory space and the fact you basically rewrite your memories every time you access them), there’s also the simple explanation of antisocial PD too where you can’t feel empathy anyway. Which doesn’t necessarily make you a serial killer btw, plenty of high functioning sociopaths are logically aware that society is beneficial to them from a utilitarian standpoint and use and defend on those principles, even though they don’t get a warm fuzzy from helping others. They do it because they know it helps out their own personal life.
Time. Utter control over time and its effects on matter. Stop time altogether for a 3D-rectangle area (I sort of don’t want to say ‘rectangular /solid/’ because it’s just air) with a height of three meters, a width of two meters, and a thickness of one centimeter, and it’s the perfect shield. Rewind time on wounded areas to undo their ever having been done. Time /travel/, naturally. With the ‘paradox resolution’ that your changes cause the universe to branch into two, and of course you can control which resulting universe you’re in, though it may be a workaround, like following your own location-history to to the exact moment of the split or somesuch.
tl;dr: time control has /all/ the powers. Especially flight and invisibility. You just have to know which parts to keep, and which to leave free.
That’s a good one of course. I didn’t know we were to go that big. I was going off what the author said for his own pick, “If I had to pick now, excluding any big universe altering power like one might find on the Infinity Gauntlet”
I do like that I picked a power similar to Time Lord regeneration right before a comment about the power to control Time itself.
I have this idea for a super character (not sure wether they will be villain hero or just someone with powers) who has the ability to change the state of matter example they’d be able to turn a solid into a liquid or into a gas they would have to concentrate to maintain it or it would return to its original state over a short period of time
Question, I thought the Orbs did not emit light. Why are they showing a rainbow as Sydney treads along the sky?
They give off a light that can only be seen by the naked eye.
The orbs are paradoxical. Dabbler, using super-science and spells, could not detect any emanations from them (nor runes, sigils and so on). The implication being that they are able to defeat analysis by technological devices and magic. Yet they are clearly visible with the naked eye (and purely optical devices like TV cameras). Hence why Dabbler was so perplexed.
As for the glow, the comic is entirely consistent on that, pick any page at random and see if an orb is near Sydney’s hair or some object like a wall, or other person. If it is, you will see the glow being reflected off of it. Picking up the colour(s) of whatever orb(s) is (/are) nearest. Thus the rainbow effect simply is the glow blurring at high speeds.
I think the orbs can sense whether or not a technology is recording or gathering information that can be used for analysis and then defeating it from there. Sort of like how Bink’s talent in the Xanth novels protects is nature from discovery, only workout the weird coincidences.
wait, so the orbs have a defeat device in them?
Several. Not least being the calorie denial field. The strongest super in the world cannot budge them, if they do not want to move.
I doubt they are made by VW though.
Could just be a side effect of the human eye refresh speed and the speed at which she is traveling. Humans tend to see moving colors as a blur even at slow-ish (relatively) speeds.
Time control. Not just for the obligatory lottery winnings, but I have always wanted to be able to see what past cultures were like.
Stinky.
I’d have to go with the superpower of ‘infinite video game leveling system’ where basically every power is available, I just need to continue leveling up by doing things that grant me experience. Which can be any type of learning at all, including reading fiction books, playing games, learning to knit, actual schooling, etc.. First pick would be immortality (for time) and second would be a super learning ability so I get bonus exp.
Read the manhwa “The Gamer” sometime.
I’d pick gravity manipulation. With enough skill and practice, one could easily mimick several other superpowers including; flight, telekinesis, weather control, pyrogenesis & pyrokinesis (requires high levels of skill and focus), time dialation (just be careful not to create a blackhole), and probably a few others.
Gravity manipulation sounds cool in theory, especially its versatility, but be honest, all the cool things you could do with it require so much knowledge and forethought and practice that you’ll be well out of your prime before you can do all those things, not even mentioning how dangerous it is. I mean, when you fly you have to control your own gravity, but what if, in a momentary lapse of concentration, you accidentally turn up the gravity on your body, instead of reversing it? Or, when altering the weather, you make a mistake that causes a hurricane? Or you mistakenly crush whatever you are levitating? The powers people normally use for those tasks are inherently designed for that task, so there is no danger (or relatively little danger.) Using this power for those outcomes is step removed, giving you too much room for error, and removing the instinctual level of control people normally have over their powers.
+1
I’d definitely have the power of shape shifting. I could freak out so many people with it, depending on who it is… Plus, it would also help in escaping embarrassing situations. Just duck around a pillar, change your features, viola! People (unless they know your power) will most likely not recognize you!
Ahh, such a musical escape. They may not recognise you, but if they spotted the change, they will be able to string you along. Not to mention taunting you by saying “What cat gut your tongue?”
It’s really difficult to pick out any one power, since some heroes can have multiple or just extremely versatile ones. (like Maxima’s)
Besides for the obvious “invisibility and all relating stealth powers”…
Think hammer space + Jumper, where you have control of what one might describe as “wormholes”. It would be incredibly convenient to be able to have the mother of all utility belts at your disposal along with instantaneous travel between any two points. Then it also makes inter-dimensional travel sound like a learnable skill.
Time manipulation (coupled with the caveat of retained prescience) could always be fun/interesting.
It would also provide virtually consequence free stress relief (acts of extreme violence will likely still of a lasting impact on the time manipulator’s psyche even if they rewind to before they committed/witnessed said act). One could save A LOT of money on video game controllers, consoles, computers and various other electronic devices.
Looks like Syd’s got the Rainbow Flight power from Champions Online. :P
Why do I heaR THE rOBOT uNICORN SOUNDTRACK?
Dave, the foreground of that last panel looks familiar. Is that an homage / alusion to something?
Not intentionally though I bet you could find a comic cover or two that looks similar. There’s only so many poses and arrangements for two people flying straight at the camera.
Six pages. People sure do love discussing what powers they’d have.
I was a pretty strong adherent of the old “Telekinesis is better than everything” school of thought… until I encountered Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure…. and decided I wanted ZA WARUDO.
I don’t just mean time-stop, mind you. I mean literally having the stand. Complete with its ability to punch stuff really fuckin hard.
I like to come up with interesting powers and/or twists to common powers in my free time, and I think my favorite so far is whim-based teleportation. Normal teleportation tends to work based on thought (or complex calculations in A Certain Magical Index) but whim-based teleportation occurs instantaneously with no conscious thought involved; instead you teleport to anywhere you want to be at any given point. You can’t turn it off, and there is no build up or warning. You will simply always be located in the place you want to be the most. You can think of it like all places have a Desire Value, or DV, which is how much you want to be there. DV can go up or down depending on circumstances, and you will always be located in the place with the highest DV, This would change your body position too. for example, in combat you would be impossible to hit, because your DV for your current location/position will go down if something is going to be there soon that will hurt you. The weakness for this power is the fact that it is based off of your subconscious, meaning that even you don’t always know where you’ll end up. It also has the secondary power of not getting sick from the constant changes in your point of view.
Man, I would get so arrested for ending up in the Archon girl’s shower all the time!
But, even if they sent me to jail, whoosh, straight back!
Honestly, I’d have to go with telekinesis. It’s a lot more versatile than people think – you can do pyrokinetics by just moving air molecules really quickly in a small area, use it on yourself to fly, stop air molecules in front of you to make a shield, etc.
I’m re-reading and the choker’s never seemed sexualized to me due to the use of throat mics in armored vehicles, always assumed that is where they originated from.
If I never say anything else, at least I will say this: that final panel NEEDS TO BE A POSTER.
That’s honestly just utterly adorable.
I’ll take Dr Manhattan’s power or Silver Surfer’s. Go big or go home.
And if I have to come up with my own unique superpower it would probably be “absolute control over energy” since you can be really op with a vague enough superpower description. What doesn’t use energy? Control the atoms? Check. Control aging? Double check. Moving around in the blink of an eye? Why the heck not! Powerful pure energy projectiles? Easy. Transform myself into a being of pure energy with no need for food, air etc? Sure. Reverse entropy? Check. Produce and absorb any sort of energy? Elementary. Make a heart start or stop? Child’s play. Create a zombie army that I have absolute control over? Could do on a whim. Create life on a lefeless planet? I could create a solar system from scratch. Be too op for a comic? Probably but I would be too busy being awesome to care. Electrical energy, thermal energy, atomic energy, dark energy, any sort of energy that can exist all under my control. *Cue hysterical laugh*
I doubt anyone still looks/writes in this thread but WHATEVER.
My power would be to form an exoskeletal suit from manipulating and increasing the Calcium in my body. Essentially what’s going to happen is liquidized Calcium will come out of my pores to form chitinous plates which I can then further manipulate to create things like shields, swords, maybe the occasional hammer fist. Now this power would probably be relatively painful so I think slight regenerative powers would be in order as well. A nice thing about this power as well is that I could choose to break off the excess calcium I formed which would be a faster way of losing bulk quickly. Granted I would lose my (somehowobtained) well-earned calcium… but hey, if I needed to run best to not have to wait for my massive bone-sword to liquidize back into my body.
We look. Sometimes with quite some delay. :-D
I would throw in ‘high pain threshold’ too. Otherwise the pain might discourage the power from being used in anything other than in extremis.
My power would definitely have to be the ability to learn and use magical spells, and even to be able to discover new ones.
That’s definitely been done in the superhero Universe, with characters like Stephen Strange and Zatanna
I’ve given this a lot of thought, actually. I have two somewhat related powers (that conceivably could be combined, though that would more likely just be combining the “weaknesses” of both than any actual benefit) that I’ve thought up.
The first power, I originally imagined as being bound to a book the user (i.e. me) would have to write in (though that could easily be changed to just speaking aloud – the benefit of the book would be a permanent record, the downside is that it’s tied to a specific item, which in theory, could be lost or stolen). The way it would work, is that any lie and/or falsehood written into it (regardless of whether the user is AWARE that it is false) would basically change reality on some scale – whether just affecting the user, or specifically whatever the lie was about, or potentially changing ALL of reality – to make that statement then be true (which could take away the downside of it being tied to a book, since one would just have to say something like “This book cannot be lost or stolen.”). The caveat, however, is that the user would not be able to UNDO any lies made – further changes can occur, but no matter what, reality would not be able to revert back to any previous state (going so far as to outright ignoring any paradoxes entered into the book that might count as a loophole – such as “This book has never been written in,” or “This book doesn’t exist.”).
The second one is a bit more complex, but still also is along the lines of changing reality. In this one, I can actively control exactly how reality is changed, but I am limited based on my connection to other people. Basically, the more people I know, or who know me, or even who know OF me, as well as how WELL I know them (or they know me, in the last case), the stronger my abilities become. If literally everyone on the planet knew me, I would have a lot of power – but, potentially, if I knew only a handful of people and knew them REALLY WELL, I could have the same amount of power. I’ve left it intentionally vague on how one could quantify my power, and note that because my power could increase based on people who merely know OF me, I would not ever be fully aware of exactly how powerful I was, unless I knew with 100% certainty that I knew literally every single sentient being in the universe. Oh, though to clarify how “power” would work – if I knew literally one person, I might have the power to turn a dime into a quarter. If I knew every person on the planet, I might have the power to turn the entire moon into cheese. And so forth.
On a side note, I kinda hope that people are actually still paying attention to this thread. I’m rather proud of what I came up with, so… I just want people to see it :3
… and thus increase the power of my second ability! Muah-ha-ha-hah!
… I wish.
He he. Very elaborately thought out.
I have partial immunity. I forget names fast. So fast I cannot even remember what yours is, without looking it up again! But nicely done regardless. :-D
Aw boop I forgot the check the “email me” checkbox those first two times. Ignore this comment, I’m doing this solely to see whatever else people are responding with. -_-
Gah, stop reminding me of it!
*runs off with paws over ears*
La la la. Traa la la.
One thing I think would be a cool power is the ability to control what someone’s instinctual thoughts about me would be. It would just be such a useful power in so many situations.
Trying to sneak around? You’re not worth paying attention to.
Need to create a diversion for your teammates? You’re definitely worth paying attention to.
Want to earn the affections of the guy/girl of your dreams? You’re dead sexy, but also approachable.
Want to have an intelligent conversation with someone of differing views? You respect them for their beliefs and are worth listening to in turn.
It would be almost as good as mind control, without a whole lot of the creepy issues that come from a more generalized form.
Clever. Subtle yet versatile.
*stamps Yorp paw print of approval on power*
I want to be able to phase through time, space, and matter, but not have to rely on an object to give me that power. (I read a book about an object called a phazer, where someone was able to phaze–I can’t remember what it’s called, now, nor do I remember who wrote it or what… I wish I could find it again!)
Powerful ability. Time and space are often linked mind, although more usually in a teleport type power, rather than transiting the in-between parts. Although I guess the latter would normally just be called “flying”.
Adding ‘phasing through matter’ though does make travelling through interstellar space fast much safer. No risk of bumping into a rock and being splattered, you just sail straight through it. Likewise if travelling through time, say in a room, to find that someone puts a table where you are standing, faster than you can react.
You could get all sorts of problems without that. Let us say you phase at the rate of 10 seconds of real time for 1 second of your subjective time. That means that any enemy would be able to attack you at 10 times the speed you could react!
Of course if you are phasing in the opposite direction… well there was a Red Dwarf episode that touched on what happens if you are in a world where time is progressing in the opposite direction to yours.
Some of the effects can be rather ickly! And that was just reversing the arrow of time. Add in the x 10 factor and it can be icky very fast!
I have a female friend who wishes she could be invisible to creepy men. Or ugly, which in a lot of cases is the same thing.
As for myself, I’ve already mastered invisibility. Yes, it’s an actual thing you can do. People still technically see you, but when you’ve mastered the art of invisibility, they don’t notice you unless you make yourself noticed. But they don’t run into you or run you over, thank goddess.
If I could have a superpower, I’d want to be a shapeshifter. Or have Harem’s powers.
I’d go for a shareable version of Achilles’s. Invincible immortality, with company. And if they turned out to be unworthy, I would unshare it and find better companions for eternity.
Oh! I like the conscious sharing part. That could make eternity bearable. Nice touch! *scratches behind Yorp’s ears*
*wags tail appreciatively*
Generically unnoticable.
What I’d go for tends to depend on the day, or what I’ve needed to do lately. Usually one of the options below.
Option 1: Manipulation of Subjective Time Flow.
Most commonly used to ‘overclock’ oneself relative to the surrounding universe, for increased reflexes and/or working time. Also allows ‘underclocking’, to get through tedious waits and/or minimise resource usage in a crisis.
Likely catch: the greater the total difference between subjective and external timelines, the harder it is to increase that difference. In other words, the more you overclock the harder it is to do more, until you ‘give the time back’ through underclocking.
Potential power stunt: ability to red/blueshift relative to incoming light, and thus gain access to a wider region of the EM spectrum. Still only an octave at a time, but no longer limited to the 400-800nm range.
Option 2: Teleport
Requires ‘line of sight’ to destination, including through windows. Effectively swaps volume A with equivalently-shaped volume B. Volumes defined by contiguous solid/liquid matter, plus a few cm gas barrier: allows clothes and kit to be carried, but does require a physical jump off the ground to go anywhere, which does limit carrying capacity.
Required secondary power: sensing how much you’d be trying to swap. Particularly relevant since any dense-matter object within volume B will need to be swapped in its entirety, so volume A may need to expand to match, which might catch more dense matter, and so on.
Option 3: The Answer
Ask a question, know the answer. Most commonly used for things like ‘where did I put those keys’ or ‘how many people will I have to cater for’. Occasionally used for finance, but unreliable where non-deterministic future events are concerned (can tell what card is next in the deck, can’t tell which way up the dice will land until they’ve left the hand – but can once they’re in the air). Trick version: ‘what strategy will work to beat this opponent’.
Matter manipulation. I’ve got this all planned out:I’ll start out basically being an earthbender, and gradually develop control over every substance I can conceptualize. Gravity manipulation (see above) that you can do by changing the density of stuff is the smallest part of it; I’ll be creating art, life, pocket dimensions, cybernetic computers, clean air, orbital elevators and superpowers for everyone. Really Marvel’s Molecule Man’s power’s only limitations are conceptual, and one thing I’m very good at is thinking without limits.
OK, late to the bandwagon, but I’d go for a power I call “imagination void” which, I know, sounds absurdly anime-esque. Whatever. Basically you can open a breach to a void in which whatever you imagine becomes real, and you then can pull that back through the breach. You do have to be in contact with the Void in order to summon, though.
Cost of using the power is based on the size of the object, since the energy drain would be from opening the breach rather than from creation once the breach was opened. This means that a doomsday device the size of a watch would be far easier to bring through than, say, an armchair.
Imagination void doesn’t give combat abilities per se, though there’s nothing to bar you from bringing some kind of skill orb through if you want to, since the act of imagining in the Void causes it to be true. On the other hand, every time you have a nightmare you’ll summon monstrous eldritch Void beings into the real world, though not necessarily to a location close to you. The strength of the eldritch monsters is not dependent on the strength of the summoner. This causes most people with imagination void to simply die before they can master their powers, as a low-skill person against a high-tier eldritch monstrosity would obviously not survive for long.
People with imagination void are often unable to actually fight; they usually equip other people to do the fighting. As a result, if one of these people survives the initial process of developing their powers, they are likely to be chased down by any number of nefarious groups. On the plus side, all those groups are very much invested in their survival. Not so much in their freedom, though.
Interesting. An application of the ‘many-worlds’ interpretation of quantum theory, if you want to technobabble it for the sake of the setting. Do you have an ally in a full-body suit who superimposes life and death?
Always preferred shapeshifting, with the preference being very much about that level of control of my own body. Maybe part of that is having several minor physical issues, but way more useful than invisibility even as a teen. Then too the heart issues I got from my father killed him comparatively young, his parents are still going twenty years on.
This made me smile for a long time. Yeah. Having fun is the best. :)
Over half the people I know have a tendency to answer shapeshifting, so I was surprised at how uncommon it was here, until I remembered a good portion of the folks I know are trans.
In my case I’d probably go with something similar but not exactly like it- character customization. I worked it out when figuring out what my three wishes would be a while back, and this was one of them. Essentially, it’d be the ability to summon a GUI that lets you customize stuff in a way somewhere between an RPG character creator and the Sims- limitations are that it only modifies purely physical aspects, the mind remains intact, and while it incorporates needed adjustments for certain changes (like heat diffusal and square cube law ignoring powers for going twenty feet tall, stuff like that) you can’t explicitly give yourself other powers that don’t fit your form in some way- though, incorporated humanoid fantasy races might have certain minor special abilities that come with them, like darkvision for drow, etc etc, and hard scales or rhino-like skin would both make you pretty durable.
It differs from shapeshifting in that there’s no risk of doing something stupid like turning into a small animal and getting caught up in the transformation Animorph-style, it’s explicitly limited to humanoid forms, and you can create presets so you can swap into your normal form or your preferred form at the click of a button, or even use it on others if you’ve gotten their consent and made physical contact (which I just realized could potentially also allow you to make presets of them, meaning you can copy people but only if they’ve tapped the checkbox when the screen appears in front of them.)
” I think the answer varies based on their demographics” is an opinion I completely agree with! Me and most of my trans friends tend to answer with some variant of shapeshifting- specifically character customization, for me. A slightly more complicated version of “character customization” is actually one of my three wishes.
…and I just realized I already said that a year ago, with a lot more of a text wall. Oops!
Lmao, almost just said it a third time before realizing “oh wait, didn’t I say that already?”
But to add on to the last couple, I’ve literally never seen someone answer invisibility, in my whole life. Maybe powerscaling’s just a bit more intense these days or something, lol.
