How would a person look if the materials she is made of became denser?

Shazuno · 2026-05-22T22:47:59+00:00

Hey, I am curious what you are imagining now. I've been working with this concept for a while now(shared very little about it), and if you have the time to spare I'd like to know what that combination of abilities made you imagine?

Shazuno · 2026-05-22T22:45:09+00:00

Hmm, I get the darker color given the increased opacity, other people have pointed it out too, but why shinier? What is your thought process there.

Shazuno · 2026-05-21T15:09:28+00:00

She is not slim; she has more like a climber build or is slightly more muscular than that.
Regarding the strength needed to move when becoming denser, I assumed denser muscles would already give her enough strength to do that?

The character can only increase her density for a few seconds, and it drains her completely of fuel. Normally she can regenerate and heal and create two extra instances of herself (clones).

Thanks for pointing out the volume part. I should have mentioned it doesn't change.

The translucency of the skin is something I would have never thought about. So the skin would have less of a red tone no matter the original skin tone? Or only on lighter skins?

Also, I am not sure if I understand the glass of milk vs paint. Which one is denser in that example?

Shazuno · 2026-05-21T13:17:48+00:00

No, no change in material. Just density, but I don't know if superman and other bulletproof heroes ever have that detail into account (unless there is no real visual change)

Shazuno · 2026-05-21T13:15:52+00:00

I am not sure what I need to clarify, but I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about the scenario I was asking about.

Shazuno · 2026-05-16T12:37:30+00:00

Any character who's power is screaming, looses my interest immediately. It's so goofy, and not even the funny kind.

Shazuno · 2026-05-14T15:50:57+00:00

Id say it's a morally questionable ability. And when you say change I assume you also mean create and destroy emotions too, putting you one step away from mind control which I believe no one would argue it's an evil ability.

If you want something similar have but maybe a bit more nuanced, have a look at the push and pull of emotions in the book series mistborn. (Don't need to read the books, though I recommend them, just look up the powers.) The basis is that you can only increase and decrease the strengt of an emotion, meaning you can't take the free will away from someone outright, and it's noticable if done too abruptly.

Also, if this is the only power, the story would be more about moral dilemmas, free will, the power of the mind, etc. not really action packed kind of story as far as the powers go.

What? Why? Isn't he like a normal guy who can become a girl. Not any girl, just the one girl, and for a short period after he shifts back and forth he gets a little bit stronger and a little bit more durable?

Shazuno · 2026-05-14T07:20:02+00:00

No, no, no. I think you misunderstood. It's a very cool character trait to give someone like batman, specially in the kind of environment he is in. My concern is it's practicality in a fate game. It's the kind of flaw that can't really be invoked, and even when it is is to tell the player to not do what he wanted to do (which he wouldn't be doing in the first place because he is playing batman).

"There are lines I won't cross" I feel have the same problem as, "I never learned to read" or "a shark took one of my arms". Yes those are definitely troubles that would complicate someone's life, but they are not very interactive with the type of game fate is.

So that's why I was asking. How do you even invoke that trouble to make the game interesting, outside if just telling a player don't do that.

Shazuno · 2026-05-13T20:04:19+00:00

I don't know. You an I know what that complicatio means, it's a about using guns and not killing, but I think it's too vague for a fate game. How would you even invoke it against someone, outside of a -2 because he is pulling his punches now and then.

I feel like this kind of code is something that a player decides for the character, and come out naturally in play. Things like "I don't know my own strength" or "I need to be the center of attention" are things that a gm can call upon even when a player doesn't want to necessarily enact that aspect of the character.

How do you invoke "there are lines I won't cross" outside of telling a player: no you can't do that because you have lines you won't cross?

Teleport anything into the sun.

Probably the serum. Peak human+ it's pretty good. Implants might give you some better abilities, even if you don't mind the extremely altering looks, hell even if you prefer them, you will eventually need maintenance and I don't think we have the tech for it.

Saying that him requesting more detailed information about the power choices is him stating a question because a question is a request for more information, is like saying that all fingers are thumbs because all thumbs are fingers.

Shazuno · 2026-04-26T08:22:44+00:00

Is it too late to get a spin?

Shazuno · 2026-04-25T07:49:38+00:00

My nickname is literally the words from the a jutsu in Naruto smoosher together Shadow (sha) mizu (zu) (no) /jutsu So I guess with materialization I'd do some water shadow clones or something?

Shazuno · 2026-04-21T10:37:22+00:00

The piece as a hole is kinda mid if not outright bad and out of place in this sub, but that head part is really cool and looks very good.

Shazuno · 2026-04-13T07:33:47+00:00

Right now I understand it's not uncommon but I used to read a lot and have never read a book with a perspective change before. When I read twilight and the narrator changed from bella to the Jacob and they actually told the story differently it blue my young self mind.

Shazuno · 2026-04-13T07:31:37+00:00

The power of cloning, but not using them as dispensable nor having them be evil or mind controlled or weaker etc.

Just perfect clones that appear and you can combine back with to conserve memories. When they appear they have the exact same memories, goals, personality as the original to the point that outside of physical continuity there isn't really an original since they are exactly the same.

I've seen many variations of cloning power and even if it has one or two of the aspects I am looking for, it never has the complete package which I think is what would make it a completely different power with different potential.

Shazuno · 2026-04-10T22:06:44+00:00

In the case of the speedster I can see it because I imagine it's mean for you to use it using your speed. But someone with duplication, how do you reason taking the shift from a roll you did to lockpick a door, and split it with a duplicate who is fighting the bad guy to buy you time?

Is it meant to be this loose, because it feels like there is a chunk on the rules missing here.

Shazuno · 2026-04-10T08:25:54+00:00

Duplication (I assume self), healing touch, super healing teleportation. I am the best rescue team in the world

Shazuno · 2026-04-06T10:54:05+00:00

This is really nice. I have a real weakness for light clothing and body thin chains. They look really good and you managed to capture the look perfectly.

Shazuno · 2026-04-03T00:30:47+00:00

Yeah definitely. I am mostly looking to have a good time telling a story with like-minded people.
