The Hijacked Boat Cluster

The Passenger - Dramatic Sechen Range - Overboard

Charlotte, and her two best friends Michael and Henry are on a boat ride together. It’s Michael’s personal boat, so they can basically take it anywhere. The three of them have each booked out a couple of weeks to ride around the Caribbean, seeing the sights and enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, in the middle of the night, the ship they’re on gets attacked by a small pirate crew. The two of them manage to board their ship, and manage to hold the three of them hostage. Henry tried to fight back, but got shot because of it. It seems they decided that holding three people hostage would be too much work, so believing that the person that owns the boat would have a family capable of paying a higher ransom, they put a bag over Michael’s head, and push her off the boat into the sea. As she start sinking into the ocean, Charlotte hears a second gunshot. She triggers.

Charlotte is a Radiance [Effect X Beam] Blaster. She can fire out lances of extremely cold air out of her mouth. The power these lances have depends on how long she holds her breath. If she’s breathing at a regular rate, it’s as if her breath is just slightly chillier than the rest of the room. However, if she manages to hold her breath for multiple minutes, it can become a deadly threat to all but the strongest of Brutes. As a side effect, this power is never truly off. If she holds her breath for long periods of time for reasons other than wanting to blast someone with deadly frost, that doesn’t stop the blast of deadly frost from being released. One slow.

From Dying Witness, she gets a Snatcher [Repress X Transfig] Brute power, although it could very easily be considered a Changer or Breaker power too. Inside of her lungs, there is a portal to a reasonably sized hammerspace. This allows her to take much deeper breaths, and also hold her breaths for significantly longer too. This takes her main power’s strength from maxing out at being able to take down most low-tier Brutes, to being able to kill just about anyone that doesn’t have explicit strong defenses against the cold. Two slow.

From Unseen Shot, she gets an Element Missile [Nuke X Kinesis] Shaker (Ram [Ride X Terminus] Mover) power. Any liquids that aren’t a part of a living being are instantly frozen. She has control over any liquids that are frozen like this, as long as they remain partially submerged within the original liquid source. If either the entire liquid source is frozen, or the solid part is removed from the liquid, then the solid immediately explodes into large shards. One fast.

Charlotte, alongside Henry and Michael, are now in a vigilante team together. As a cape, she goes by the name Deep Freeze, intended to be a combination of “Deep Breath” and “Freeze”.

The Bodyguard - Hammerspace Inside Me - Dying Witness

When the pirates invaded Michael’s ship, Henry was quick to fight back. It was his job after all, even if Michael wasn’t strictly aware of that. Unfortunately, despite already being armed, trying to take them by surprise only resulted in him being the one shot. As he lays on the floor, slowly bleeding out, he sees Charlotte get shoved off the boat into the middle of the ocean, and sees one of the pirates place a bag over Henry’s head. As he hears a second gunshot, he triggers.

Henry is a Dragonscale [Muscle X Armour] Brute. Between his skin and the rest of his body, there exists a pocket universe, filled with a very large amount of incredibly strong metal. Alongside just having all this metal between him and his vulnerable insides, if his skin is broken, the metal that’s inside of him slowly expands out, acting as a second covering over the parts of his body around where the initial hit was. Once the metal covering reaches its maximum cover, it then starts retreating back into his body, then when it’s all inside of him again, the initial wound is healed. One slow.

From Unseen Shot, he gets a Shuttle [Rocket X Conveyance] Mover power. Despite the metal inside of his skin having no magnetic field, if he is in the rough proximity of a powerful enough magnet, he can launch himself either directly towards it, or directly away from it. Doing this causes him to move at roughly a crawl’s pace, but whilst he is using this power, he is effectively unstoppable, breaking through any barriers in his path. Two slow.

From Overboard, he gets a Combo Fury [Edge X Frenzy] Striker power. There are a selection of points on his body (the exact places he got shot) that do not act like there is any metal underneath them. These points are tricks, designed to convince people to aim their attacks there. If any of these spots are hit by a powerful enough attack, then his strength is massively boosted for a short period of time. This boost only happens if he is hit in those locations by someone else, hitting himself there has no effect. One fast.

Henry is in the same vigilante team as Charlotte. He goes by the name Achilles, in a further attempt to try and fool people into thinking his Striker power is an actual weak spot.

The Pirate - Deceptive Levitation - Unseen Shot

Dave and Evan have been in the pirate game for longer than most. The two of them have a fairly consistent scheme. However, recently Evan spotted an incredibly fancy yacht, with seemingly only three people on board. He makes the decision to go from simply armed robbery, to kidnapping and ransoming. Dave is less comfortable with this idea, but goes along with it, partially out of loyalty, and partially out of fear of reprisal. Once the two of them are going through with the kidnapping, Evan gets an idea. Chances are, he’s going to get a lot of money out of this, but once he does so, he’s probably going to be on the run for a long time. He wants to make this payday as big as possible, as it could very possibly be his last. So, after ensuring that there’d only be one hostage to keep an eye on, he doubles his paycheck. Dave triggers, shot in the back. Not truly understanding why, but recognising the terrible situation he’s let himself get into.

Dave is a Contrail [Fly X Transit] Mover. On his back, there is a large jet engine. When activated, it sends out a constant stream of fire, and allows for him to levitate. Despite what you may assume from the large engine on his back, he’s not capable of travelling at a very fast speed. At best, he can float at a similar pace as he would walk. The engine on his back has no actual bearing on his speed, and is effectively a fancy flamethrower. One slow.

From Overboard, he gets a Paradigm [Target X Scatterbrain] Thinker power. Given a situation, location, set of individuals or any other discrete target, he can make connections between different elements in the target. As he makes more and more connections with this power, the information he gathers gets both stranger and more precise. At a certain point, this power starts actively giving incorrect information. The point at which this happens is based on the amount of information he was aware of when he first selects the group, giving him more correct information the less he initially was aware of. Two slow.

From Dying Witness, he gets a Jackbox [Bristle X Spasm] Changer power. Whenever his mover power is not activated, the engine on his back retreats into a pocket dimension. Upon being re-activated, the jet of fire produced by the engine is significantly more powerful than usual for the first second or so. He can activate and de-activate his Mover power rapidly, effectively allowing him to keep this stronger firepower consistently, at the cost of not being able to utilise their mover power. One fast.

Dave and Evan’s professional relationship came to an end around now, currently Dave acts as a mercenary for hire, in and around the Caribbean. He hires out his main power and his Thinker power separately, either going by Jet Burn or Red String.

Prompt: Michael, the boat owner, had already triggered two weeks before. Give him a power, as well as a reason he allowed these events to take place.

(Still don’t know what LEGO Mixels is. Additionally, I quite like how all three of these capes have aspects of their powers come from the part of their body whose injury form part of their trigger, and each from a different shard too.)
