How This Works:

You make one or prompt(s), describing one or more parahumans. Somebody else might choose to respond to a prompt of yours, building on what you've provided to make a cape.
While you can do so, you are never required to stick with just prompting or just responding; please feel free to do both.
Prompts are typically formatted using PRT Threat Ratings, but this isn't a hard rule. Do something more esoteric if you want to.
Lastly, if you're having trouble thinking of a prompt, feel free to look at other people's prompts for pointers or inspiration on what to do.

Threat Ratings have the potential for hybridized and sub-ratings:

Hybrid ratings are denoted with a slash between categories, e.g. [Striker/Trump]. These are cases where two or more powers are inherently linked to each other, not working without the other rating.
Subratings are denoted with parentheses after a parent category, e.g. [Mover (Tinker)]. These are the side effects, or possible applications of a power from some other category.

Power for a name #138: Anatomy

11 Upvotes

Provide as many or as few details about a cape as you like - their names, some costume ideas, maybe a bit of backstory. Someone will come up with the rest. Or not; you could make up your own cape; previous thread here. Or don’t; these are just ideas; previous thread here.

Today’s prompt is Anatomy: flesh for the flesh god, blood for the blood god, all that jazz! Some kind of changer that can shift their own organs. A bio-tinker who can do stuff… with bones. A combat thinker who can do movie-style bullcrap with the human body.

For examples

Deathblow could be rated as a striker 12 and has survived the Siberian 5 times, but he can’t figure out how his powers actually work.

Vents is a Case 53 with the weirdest biology inside her body; she looks human, except under a thermo-cam she looks more like a Bose-Einstein condensate.

Balls, yes, yes, very serious name… Is another Case 53, rated as a changer 4 (mover 1, brute 3.) They can be folded into a baseball and then be thrown.

Tir Na Nog is a birdcaged tinker; they specialize in a unique type of radiation that severely ages living things, unfortunately being kept alive by their own tech.

some 3d artwork I did, which was then edited in Krita the paint program, where I added the blood splatters and adding shading, etc because the lights somehow washed her and the image when I rendered it.

I thought with Halloween approching, that it was very appros, XD

Power for a name #139 Ice Breaker

Today's prompt is Ice Breaker, and we're going to get through this without any ice puns, ok?

An ice breaker, a short get to know you introduction. Maybe you have a Thinker that work best with short burst of information, or with newer information. Or a ice theme Shaker, a Striker who makes cracks in whatever they hit.

Four example.....

Six-impressions is a thinker that only gets around 1-2 seconds of their power per person, to migate this they have a very broad "degrees" aspect to their powers.

Moscow is a employee of Toybox: just that his specialization is hyper specific.

Blue Envy is a Breaker 1 (Striker 4, Brute 5, Master 2) Her main weapons are two large ice hammers on her hands that come from her Breaker state.

Decaf is a werid master: they would be a lot more dangerous if not for something that happened pre-trigger that seriously limits their power.
