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>:

That's what I'm hoping for! I was scratching my head for a bit trying to pick something, because ice powers seem more like something a "cold" personality would have, but having it being used to aid others, plus the addition of heat powers with it would hopefully be more Mei-like.

as to how it'd manifest, i think your idea about mei's body temperature being noticeably hotter or colder than it should be is a great way to start. subtle too. you could potentially build it up a little more before she even necessarily realizes something's up.

Oh, yeah! Like she feels overheated or freezing and maybe thinks she's sick or something. Then her fingers frost over and she realizes Things Have Escalated.
