I thought it was more an afterimage of already existing sources like the rain, and floodwater than him creating it.

I think he's actually creating that water. His Aura Of Influence power is supposed to represent that constant water-production.

And for Fog I was thinking a upgrade of Gaseous Form that the maneuvers inflict something like the POISONED aspect, and or BLINDED for a simple solution.

Maybe. Trouble is that Fog can definitely hurt people while in his gas form. The Gaseous Form is supposed to stop you from attacking, and using the Venomous ability to get around that seems kind of sketchy to me.

Sooo, this is awesome so far. i'm at Prey 14.1 and i'm, drawing inspiration for a character in Defending the Borders from Taylor.

I would probably give Cherish a stunt that lets her mess with people's head with Rapport, or Intimidation. Maybe if she performs an Assessment on them regarding their emotions, her Rapport attacks are Weapon:2 for the rest of the scene?


Also, is this thread going to be spoiler-free?

Cherish could probably do with a head-messing stunt, but I'm reluctant to edit her now that she's done.

This thread will probably stay about as spoilery as it already is. No direct plot discussion and character write-ups in s-blocks, but sometimes people will mention things that could be spoilers. For example, we discussed the fact that Regent can take over people's bodies a couple of days ago.

That aside, here's Mannequin. His skills might be a little low...being both a brilliant scientist and a highly successful serial killer costs a lot of skill points.

When not using the gas and the arm gun, Mannequin spends his enchanted item slots on his arm blades, giving him a limited number of extra-strong arm blade attacks each session.

Wow, okay. Having read the latest update, I feel inspired to write up Lily/Foil/Flechette. Because that was badass.

And it'll be nice to have a chance to use ACaEBG.

And here's Lily.

Wasn't so sure about her skills, and I kind of wish I could give her more FP so that she could use her Object Tuning more often, but I think these stats should be serviceable.

And here's Fog.

Decided not to go with Gaseous Form because I wanted him to be fully combat-capable in fog form.

Nice  8).

Though I'm wondering if Mannequin should really have Superb Fists. I'm rereading his first fight with Taylor and he doesn't seem that great at fighting. Not bad but it seems his real power in a fight comes from his defences.
Please, call me Count :).

Thanks go to Shecky for the nickname and Serack for the avatar ^,..,^

Holy crap this was an intense update. Go read it.

That aside, I'm not 100% confident that Mannequin has the right Fists skill. But he's supposed to be scary, so I went for the skill cap. Feel free to change that if you use him in one of your games.

Just read last update, Wow.

And regarding Foil, I remember seeing an upgrade for one of the Toughness killer powers that negated the need for Fate Points somewhere on here, could be overpowered but from what I've seen from her it looks like she warrants it.

An upgrade like that would push Foil into negative Refresh even if I cut other stuff to make room for it. So although it would fit her, I think she'll have to do without.

In light of the revelations about Jack's power, fancy re-statting him to take his secondary powers into account?

I'd just say it is a boost to awareness or something like that, instead of a full power of itself.

I feel like an analogue might be AFSA, but that power is bad.

Maybe a stunt boosting his defenses?
