POWERS BRAINSTORMING

> POWERS BRAINSTORMING

Hello everyone! One of the major goals we have with Meadowlark is customizing and tailoring the game experience to the characters themselves, and one of the main ways we hope to do this is with characters' powers. However, we know this may be a little difficult from the initial application phase, so we thought that having a powers brainstorming post could help everyone out! To reiterate what our application page says: This power should be complementary of your character's personality or self, such as a character with a strong motivation towards helping people finding themselves with a shielding or healing power. It should be unique to your character. By this we do not mean that only one character in game may have a fire power, but that the form or starting level of those fire powers should be specific to your character, such as one character's power first expressing as the creation of small flames on their hands, while another's first expresses as fire resistance. Please bear in mind that we don't expect anyone to have their character's full power development trajectory figured out from stage one. We want this to be something that evolves and changes according to the character's experiences and development in game, so what you start with here may evolve some months down the line. This post is primarily to provide a venue for interested applicants to brainstorm and use one another as a sounding boards. Please fill out the form below to give everyone a starting point! <b>CHARACTER NAME</b>: <b>CANON</b>: <b>SOME CORE CHARACTER TRAITS</b>: <b>ANY POWER IDEAS</b>: <b>ANY POWERS YOU'D PREFER TO AVOID</b>:

Hmm, maybe the ability to make plants grow and control them? Like making vines wrap around someone, or form a ladder, or something helpful? Or something to do with rocks and dirt, like an earthbender?

Out of curiosity, can you think of a way to tie emotions to this? Like emotional reaction.

Yeah, I was thinking of that too! Like if Keith has an outburst, maybe vines stretch out in a threatening way? Or if you go with earth, then there's a rumble like a mini earthquake? If he's in a good mood, maybe flower buds spread open, trees can rustle their leaves and drop fruits. If I remember correctly, there are gardens and such all over the city, so he'd have areas to work with.
