Oh man, why didn't I think of that? That would be so awesome.

>>14766471

You were sitting quietly in your living room watching the news of the super humans rising all over the world when you heard a commotion outside. You walk to your window and lift the shades to take a look outside, you look into the distance and see smoke rising from a far off building, as you strain your eyes to get a better look the building zooms towards you and you can see the details as if they are mere feet away; it appears a man is walking through the flames that are engulfing a jewelry story and is grabbing whatever loot he can get his hands on. what would you like to do now that you appear to have incredibly powerful vision?

(now that we have your character all other decisions will come from consensus unless I tell you to roll for an action)

"insane conspiracy theories like the flouride in the water"

Its a strong enough poison to kill bacteria.
But not strong enough to kill you.
So how the fuck does that work?
Oh, btw, scientist here.
Thats less of a theory and more of a question.

rolled 33 = 33

>>14766546
Um... call the police? We don't have a very good combat ability.

>>14766531
>>14766507
>>14766494

It also appears you live in london

>>14766555

It is just an insane conspiracy theory made by those that have no idea what fluoride is, most of the supporters of this seem to live in the bible belt in the United states you have noted.

>>14766556

(looks like this is the most I will get for now)

You dash over to your phone to call the police, reporting all that you saw through your window, glancing back at the window as you are speaking to the operator. Apparently they already knew about the break-in from the silent alarm that was triggered before the explosion took place. Now that the proper authorities have been informed and you now know you have at least some form of superhuman ability, though not to what extent, what would you like to do?

uh, this isn't really a good power in retrospect.can we possibly expand it to include something else to give us more of an edge?

>>14766654

By "expand", I mean that in order to support super-powerful vision like this, we'd need some pretty advanced neural circuitry. I was thinking an extra effect of that would be very fast reflexes and agility like someone else suggested.

>>14766654
Yeah, it would only work if we were a master marksman or something.

>>14766570
If your intending to run a good thread instead of trollin me can you please use better logic than 'oh those Christians are wrong about everything'.

Heres the data:
Fluoride IS poisonous.
The only argument FOR using it is that its concentration is too low to be a danger.
This is catastrophically wrong. Your kidneys filter your blood and it is FACT that fluoride concentrates inside bones and teeth over time, weakening them.
What do we use fluoride for? To help maintain healthy gums and teeth. But we all brush our teeth right? That contains MUCH more fluoride than the water. But we don’t need to swallow it.
So its harmful and isn’t necessary. Add to that there are no long term health studies (that I’ve ever heard of). What we have here is asbestos, except for our generation.

Do you know what the strongest acid is known to man? Fleurosulfuric acid. It doesn’t seem a good idea to use a molecule that’s the strongest anything.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorosulfuric_acid

I say that our power should be to create fluorosulfuric acid. Because energy types is a bit Mary Sue.

>>14766555
You might have noticed that bacteria and humans are pretty different. You know, different size, different cell structure, and so on.

This means that they don't always react the same way when exposed to various compounds. That the exposure is done in very different ways here (drinking vs complete submersion) probably doesn't hurt either. Or, well, it hurts the bacteria, but you get the idea...

Feel free to look over antibiotics as well, if they were as lethal to humans as they are to bacteria, well, you might as well use cyanide to treat infections then.

Treating diseases caused by multi-cellular parasites is generally a lot harder than bacteria, as they aren't quite so different form us, and finding something which kills them without severe side-effects for the host is thus a lot harder. Chemotherapy likewise tends to have very harsh side-effects, as anything which will kill cancer cells will probably kill of other things as well.

>>14766654

We could expand it a bit if you guys want, throw out some suggestions to augment your eye abilities that follow a similar theme and I will include it in your character.
>>14766669
this would be an acceptable addition if enough people want it.

>>14766680

Fuck guys, can we please stay on track and not argue about this? The thread's barely gotten off the ground and we've already gotten derailed by a troll.

I'm the person that suggested Super Vision originally, I like the idea of expanding it that was put forth.

>>14766669
Seconded.

>>14766680
Even more interesting we could use hydrogen electron sapping or proton donation to make bodies super acidic.

>>14766669
>>14766715
>>14766726

That's three votes, let's go with it.

>>14766755
Thats only two votes hoss.

I'm waiting for more suggestions.

>>14766755
(Alright looks like this is the only real suggestion so we will go with it. Power added)

In addition to seeing the man walking through the flames you also noticed that in the short time you were watching your eyes darted to all the little things in the scene and noting them far faster than you normally would. You realize with this better ability to notice the little things you were also able to react to the scene much faster than you would have in the past.

>>14766814

We're probably more than a little curious about our new abilities. Let's go out and give them a test run.

>>14766835
On our bicycle.

For we live -in- London.

>>14766883
>>14766835

any specific tests or just ride around on your bike and try messing with your vision?

>>14766903
Ideally we'd see what just happened across the street. But if we need to make a quick escape then we're ready.

It is afterall, late at night.

>>14766903

Yeah, let's see what we can find. There might be more people like that thief about, and I don't think we're just going to sit and do nothing while innocent people are in danger.

The police cannot be everywhere, they cannot witness every crime, but we can.

We can see. We see all.

>>14766940
Bullshit, i'm gonna school ya in all in chaotic neutral bitch.

>>14766940
>>14766925

which ever of these two people like more we will go with (or another suggestion that gets the most support)

>>14766925

Let's go with this one.

>>14767023

You make your way down the street looking again into the distance at the building, you carefully make your way towards it being cautious of spotting the thief, eyes darting and straining in all directions. It isn't as easy to get your eyes to zoom in and out as it was before, perhaps because at the time you weren't actually trying to use your eyes like telescopes, it just happened; but after a few minutes of fumbling you are able to get the hang of zooming in and out, even getting to the point where you can trace the cracks in the pavement four blocks away. You have now made it to the jewelry store and the fire is still going strong, in the distance you can hear sirens approaching and can find no sign of the thief.

>>14767082

Switch to a different spectrum and see if we can pick up the thief's trail.

Either way, haul ass our of there or the police will think that we're the one that broke in.

>>14767107
What did the theif take? This might give us motive.

>>14767139
>>14767107

You look quickly at what ever it was the thief stole, it doesn't really seem like there was any real pattern to what was stolen other than the area that was hit hardest was the area that you know the most expensive bits of jewelry were stored. It mostly looks like the thief wanted to get the most valuable and expensive jewelry he could.

You do notice an ashy footprint leading away from the store and try to see if you can find any more, as you are straining your eyes you once again start to feel your vision shifting to something you have never felt before, now you can see a path of footprints rather easily, but they seem to be of an indescribable color overlapping with the normal colors of the spectrum.

(you can now see in the infrared spectrum and visible spectrum simultaneously as well as having telescopic vision, the infrared does take a little longer to activate at this point until you have more practice)

We need to go up

>>14767255

Get a better viewpoint of the city? Good idea.

He may have had a head start, but he can't outrun the scope of our vision.

>>14767241
Hop on the bike and follow that trail!

>>14767271

Voting for this. Track him down.

When we catch him, do we want to turn him into the police or deal with him vigilante style?

>>14767269
>>14767255
>>14767271
>>14767290
(combining these suggestions)

You hop on your bike and begin to follow the trail while looking around for a way to get to a higher vantage point too see more of the trail. after about a minute of riding you see a tall building with a fire escape and are able to get on and climb to the top of the building; when there you look to where you last saw the path and begin to follow it with your telescopic eyes, they end roughly ten blocks away where they go into an alley way that is blocked from your view.

bumping

Look in the sky, we need to find someone who can fly and get them to be our sidekick

>>14767553

You look into the sky, but unsurprisingly there doesn't appear to be any one flying in London at the moment, unless you count a few birds in the distance.

>>14767587
we have telescopic vision, are they 100% birds?
or bird men or something

also perhaps we should keep trying out new abilities, maybe we can see through walls or see body heat
or perhaps we can extend our superhuman sight to other senses? hearing, touching(balance), smelling as well

>>14767647

from the extent of your vision at the moment you are fairly sure they are birds. You look in the direction of the alley way the footprints go down and do your best to strain your eyes to see through the walls, and the don't give way in the visible spectrum, but in that strange new color you have now determined is infrared you are able to faintly see the body heat of a single person in the alleyway.

>>14767709
Get back on your bike. Ride up silently. Then hide the bike from view behind a hedge or dumpster. Then see if we can catch a glimps of the scene.

>>14767758

You climb down the fire escape and make your way back to your bike, picking it up and making your way down the street you make sure to be as silent as possible while you cover the last bit of distance between you and the alley, you hide your bike in some bushes and approach the edge of the alley and hide just around the corner; listening as well as you can while watching the human shaped colors nearly twenty feet away from you it seems to be sitting down, looking at something on the ground. you aren't able to make out any other heat-colors.

>>14767773

incorrect link

>>14767856
we should get a closer look, make sure this is the guy we want, and then call the police and tell them where he's hiding.

>>14767882

how close do you want to get? right now you are not yet in the alley so out of his line of sight, would you like to show yourself to him because otherwise you don't really have much room to get closer...unless you can think of something to get you closer and remain hidden I suppose.

>>14767952

Stay put and observe them for now.

Put our super-awareness to use to gather information about what they look like, what they stole, what they're doing. Once we better assess how threatening they are, we can plan how to take them out (or if that would be a bad idea in the first place).

>>14768007

while the objects that the person is holding are giving of much heat you can tell he's fumbling with something small, it looks like the person has been pacing judging by the footprints you can see on the ground and after getting a moment to observe you notice it looks like he's moving his mouth you can't tell if he's trying to chew something or talk to someone you can't see or even just muttering under his breath.

>>14768181
Op?

>>14768007
"take them out"? We're 45 years old, we're not getting into that shit. We'll call the cops once we're sure this is the right guy.

>>14768203

Yeah just forgot my trip

>>14768181
Try to read his lips. With our new grasp of tiny details this shouldn't be too hard.

>>14768289

Roll a d20

>>14768205
Guys, i have some cool ideas for down the line. Just hear me out.

Lets steal the jewellery.

Find an appropriate broken wall and search for a loos brick.

I don't know how to make it roll dice

>>14768337

This. But only if we can pull it off without arousing suspicion...at least for now until we learn the full extent of our powers.

>>14768337
We're going to turn into a gentleman thief just like in classic literature.

Horace Whittenby, the gentleman theif!

rolled 5 = 5

>>14768359

I approve of this.

Also, rolling for lip-reading

>>14768384

You are able to see the fine details of his mouth movements but are unable to associate that with words and sounds yet, perhaps you need more practice lip reading.

>>14768444
How many more times do we need to practice untill we level up?

>>14768444
I guess we should keep watching.
Or call the police or something, I guess?

>>14768337
Find an appropriate broken wall and search for a loos brick.
Then try to sneak up on the character.
Using our super-eyes to watch his hips for tiny movements, see if he’s about to turn. Then hide. Or just stay out of his field of vision.

>>14768493

Depends a bit on your rolls, and how you train.

>>14768595

You investigate around a bit and though you cannot find a broken wall but you notice both a fire escape that let's out in the alley near the person as well as another small service entrance to a building.

>>14768688
Is there anything we can use near by? Its about 70% likely that any street in London has a brick somewhere.

Perhaps a glass bottle. Check peoples recycling bins! But be quiet.

>>14768756

While looking though one of the bins it seems you hit the jackpot, a few glass bottles are intact as well as a small metal pipe with a crack, looks like someone needed to replace it in their plumbing.

>>14768888
Lets see if we can drop the bottle on his head from above.

>>14768888
Grab the pipe, run up to him, smack him in the head. Like a bawss.

>>14768942
>>14768961

Going to need a bit of consensus for this

>>14768942

this

>>14769107

Opting to go the fire escape route you are able to go inside one of the buildings while acting for all the world as if you are supposed to be there, after making it to the second floor you climb out one of the Windows and on to the fire escape positioning yourself as silently as possible and letting the bottle fly. Roll a d20

rolled 18 = 18

>>14769175

>>14769202

Your bottle hits the person right on the head and seems to do a good amount of damage considering the man is bleeding a fair amount. He now appears to have fallen unconscious

>>14769310

Now while the other guy is confused, sneak down and take him out too.

>>14769317

As far as you can see in both visible and infrared there is only the one person there.

>>14769310
Ok, i'm pretty sure there’s only one guy.

So sneak down and check out the jewels. Use our vision to spot the most valuable ones. Leave the rest.

I just realised, we need to tidy up the bottle because of the fingerprints.

>>14769368

Well I say it's lootin time...clandestinely move to his location and search him for the goods while keeping an eye out for anyone else in the area.

Man, we're going to need to find a good fence latter. I doubt we'll be able all to sell all the jewelery without getting caught if this guy did a good job for us and grabbed a lot of nice shit.

>>14769423

I say if we're already going to have a pocketfull of stolen goods, we may as well police up the evidence too. Lets take all the shards of the bottle with us, we got good vision so we should find them all. Including any lodged in his skull. Then push him somewhere a bit less conspicuous.

>>14769438
>>14769458

Both good suggestions. But the way i see it, we'll only take the most valuable ones. Easy to hide.

When it comes to finding a fence i have a plan.

>>14769575

Yeah, let's do this.

>>14769423
>>14769438
>>14769458

You make your way down and quickly pickup all the shards of glass you can find, even the ones to small to normally see, you also look over the man and take all the jewelry that he has, enough to fill a small bag. You then move his body deeper into the alley and behind some trash, as you are moving him you notice his clothing is charred and burnt in many places but his skin is completely burn free.

>>14769575

A little retcon, you take only the most valuable jewels.

>>14769711

Hm, does he seem superhuman? Did he have anything else of note on him? Anyway, we should retreat to our home for now, get rid of the bottle and figure out what's next.

>>14769787

From the type and condition of his clothes as well as his personal grooming you are fairly sure he is a homeless person, other than his worn out/burnt clothes he had nothing else of value.

>>14769711
Once you retreat, make sure you weren’t seen. No cameras etc.
Then cycle back home quickly. And Enter secretly.
The police may want to question you considering you live across the street. Tell them nothing. Not the direction you saw him run in. Nothing.
Just say you heard an explosion, went to phone the police because you thought it might be a terrorist attack. You didn’t see anyone leave as you didn’t think to look.

No sense in "giving them enough rope to hang you with”.
Criminals always slip up on the details, either wrong or lies but also too many. Its also a grand way to wind up in court and spending your life’s savings on a lawyer to prove your innocent. Even if you actually are innocent and messed up on explaining some details or had a sketchy past. Such is the world these days.

>>14769831
Take a sample of blood from his head.

Use something as a swab... a newspaper, but i recommend the inside of a pocket which can later be removed and re-stitched.

>>14769983

You retreat after ensuring there are no cameras or possible witnesses around, and when you retrieve your bike you go the back way to make sure the police on the street facing the jewelry store won't see you making your entrance. When you make it to your house you go back to your living room and turn on the tv to the news to see what will be said of the robbery.
>>14769954
This can be added if people want it

>>14770091
It depends on if you wanna introduce new characters.
Do we have any loved ones in the house?

>>14770171

that depends entirely on you guys, would you like to decide a bit of a back story now? if so the same rules apply to this as did with the powers and naming, roll a d100 and highest of four (or less if there aren't that many in the thread)

>>14770171

(It appears no one wants to do a back story, so for right now we will assume that if you have family they are on vacation or something)

after a few minutes of watching the news the story comes on, it says the police have a rough idea of what the perpetrator looks like, he is 5' 8" with long unkempt brown hair, quite possibly homeless. The news then moves on to the stories about the superhuman menace as it is now being called, reports of a man in Chad declaring himself king, ships being assaulted by a man literally riding the waves right onto the decks. It seems that the world is full of people taking advantage of their powers like you, though you feel you can do better; you will do better. After all these other people are just attacking without thought to the consequences or attention, you are a gentleman that can look at the big picture, and that is your advantage over those that may have "better" super powers.

Your thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door. You look through the peep hole and see two police men at standing outside, it appears they are at ease at the moment with smiles on their face. When you answer they tell you they are here to ask you about what you may have seen tonight, after all you are one of the people that called in the crime. You tell them that you didn't see much, the building was a bit to far away to see much other than you heard an explosion and saw a fire, as well as a man moving through the building, that is when you went to call the police, you didn't see much after that.

And now I must leave for a few hours, if the thread still happens to be up I will see about reviving it, if not we will have another one either tomorrow at roughly 12:00 server time.

>>14770486
Good, don't let them in, remember never to let them in.

A bit too much back-story there. Stuff like eyesight can be proven later. Are you trying to get us in trouble?

Wait... a few minutes and the story comes on? Just after it happened? And then the police arrive? Surly it should be the other way around.

>>14770653
Good night.

>>14770674

true enough, that should probably be the other way around, as for the building, you have noticed it before you had your improved eyesight and to a normal person it is to far away to be able to make out many details, it is several buildings away.
