Unthreaded Bells/worlds discussion

I have her opacity classified as Thinker, not Trump - the categories are kind of weird and not necessarily perfect ways to carve up reality. Her brainhacking is not a power.

Loki-bell is going to be so embarrassed by her circumstance alt's plot, I assure you.

Eh, I'm still hung up on this (someone is wrong on the internet). Yeah, the classifications are not always clearly defined, but power nullifiers are definitely trump:

"Either her power wasn’t anything that anyone here would have been able to defend against, like Flechette’s arrows or a controlled version of Scrub’s blasts, or she’s a trump classification.”

“What’s that?” Regent asked.

“Official classification for capes who can either acquire new powers on the fly,” Tattletale gestured towards Grue, “Have an interaction with other powers that can’t be categorized or they nullify powers.”

~Imago 21.1

But eeh, it's your AU. Do as you wish.

I don't think classifying immunity with nullification is necessarily the One True Way; they seem very different to me. For example, the Siberian was immune to all forms of physical damage, but I don't think they classified her as a trump for it, did they? Despite the fact that she could be said to "nullify" any physical attack power that was directly used on her. Because she didn't affect the person using the power, or any application of the power other than directly to her; she was just... immune to all things that might physically affect her body in damaging or unwanted ways. I could be wrong, and it's possible that we never even see how the Siberian is classified, but that's how I currently think of this.

[Alicorn]

Yeah, my interpretation here is like kappa's.

[Alphabeta]

Well, the thing to remember is that the power ratings are given by people, who can make mistakes or have differences of opinions. Maybe there's an argument about the classification of Lorica's immunity on Parahumans Online or something.

[kuuskytkolme]

You know, that would be so hilariously meta that someone needs to do it.

So the Olympian templates, Rhea/Patience/Zeus, tend to pair up with their native Jokers? I see that Trouble has Rhea as his SO.

Whether in a "best friends" sense or an "orgasm friends" sense, yes, yes they do. :D

I just noticed the male Elspeth in Frozen while scrolling trough the spread sheet. I don't know why, but for some reason it's something I didn't know I wanted, but now that I have the idea I am so, so on board with it.

[Tulip]

What's Lorica's relationship with Brockton Bay going to be like? Will it be like Juliet's thing where she lives there in place of one of the template's default towns, or more like Pattern's thing where it exists in her world but isn't her home, or some third option along the lines of moving there after her trigger event?

(Also, thanks for making me aware that Worm was a thing that existed, because seriously, that story is amazing. :D)
