You should expound on your answer. Explain your mutations functionality instead of its usefulness. Describe the enviroment -- was it Rogue Isles? What sickness?
my mutation is an alternate form of heterotrophy. I can subsist on the energy caused by changes in the emotional states of others.

How does energy come from emotional states? Do you mean like an empath? Expound.
it's like empathy but it's more like how when you break a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen you get a charge as well. i'm probably no more empathic than like a sniffer dog or something. it's a psychic energy thing I think like how some psychics can just will themselves to not need food any more. except I need other people's will.

Do you think true love exists out there? Why or why not? No simple answers! Tell it straight.
if it exists i've never seen it. every time people talk about love they just mean really deep like and that's just a matter of degrees. people get bored with each other they get used to each other's habits, they get terrified of a change in their lifestyle and they tell themselves that that's true love and that's why they've been together for forty years when really it's just that the idea of going out and finding an alternative probably won't net them anything that's all that much better. or they use it to justify obssessing over someone who's not that into them and pester them into it until they get them into the same place.
might exist, but I've never seen it.

like you've always got someone from about three feet away above behind your shoulder, moving in, closer, moving further away, always checking, always guiding, sometimes moving around to look you in the face, sometimes sweeping around and down, turning you around like a doll to examine you from all angles, like you're a puppet, a toy, a doll, a plaything to be watched and examined and to satisfy some strange unspoken need or desire of the watcher, who guides you just by observing, who makes you somehow different with no touch other than their eyes?

((For my first real OOC question: What reference materials or characters did you use to help define your character?))
((Oh, rivers that rise above their sources, wherefore art thou.
Carceri was created on a DXP, quickly. I had no visual theme, no character concept, just the name (that I've used now THREE TIMES beforehand), and origin, figuring I'd work it all out later.
The mutation origin may have been a mistake, in hindsight; black oily powers, blasts of screaming skulls, punches that make tentacles out of the ground? It's very hard to theme that as a mutation in the vein I like (that is, a single, unified, biologically-relevant power source), and it's even harder for me to ignore 'origin.'
The idea spilled together as I sought out a real name for the character, and, yes, I will admit, someone pleased to refer to another one of my characters as 'a supple, smooth-chested youth' in a tone of text that indicated it was a sort of biseinen cheesecake. I stumbled on a name I liked in the past - Amos Verne, the Troubled Youth - but couldn't use because Ruhelos, Swivel's dad is named Amos, and I need to avoid doubling up on names. That still put me in mind of the characterisation of a troubled youth, and that put me on the path of investigating ways to 'make' a youth troubled in this society.
I've said before that one way to inspire myself is to look at things I hate. It's easy to look at bad writing and be inspired to see ways that the whole story could be done differently or better. Todd MacFarlane has done a number of stories I think are terrible, and while I am sure that he, sleeping on a bale of money the size of a shipping container, doesn't much care what I think, his stories typify the most self-indulgent awfulness of the 1990s antihero.
I was then suggested to join a silver-age, no-killing supergroup. WELL.
Suddenly I had this darkity dark dark saddy sad sad character concept with a terminal heaving cough and suffering as poitns of definition and I was suggested to join a silver-age, no-killing group? The two ideas catalysed in my mind. I wanted to do this; I wanted to take the trappings, the tension, the edge of that 90s characterisation and drag it back from the point where its darkness was meaningless. I wanted to make that character about responsibility, about respect, about suffering but not suffering in a way that tortures and torments and actually means something along the way. Not a suffering that lasts forever with no meaning, but with a much more present cause and effect.
Thus: Carceri. Empath with a shard of mot in his spirit; to Mot as Galvatron is to Unicron, but insistant that he will work through the pain, that he will never feet Mot, that he will never let himself die, and striving to avoid becoming another sentinel.
And yet, he's sweary, he's oversexed, he's perverted, he's shameless, he's a little manipualtive and he's disdainful and condescending. His powers terrify people, rend at their souls, batter their bodies and leave them feeling exhausted, drained, and in some cases, heavily traumatised. He is not nice, but he is not good. Fear is the price of his instrument - and people do not fear him because of rational reasons. They fear him because it is how the meat is programmed.
Hope and Ideals are very important fucking things.))

ahrgahrlgeb. Try to make this SUPER quick. I'm poor. I grew up poor, our farm fell apart because my dad's useless. Mom left, we moved to inner city because he couldn't afford shit and didn't have creds to do anything. He became a bigger drunk and started beating me. I was hospitalised six times before I was ten. I contracted an STD in school because of our drinking water. I developed a mutation that let me feel what EVERYONE felt around me. FUCKING EVERYONE. SO! Bully beats up kid? I feel the bully hating himself I feel the kid hating himself I feel the hit I feel the girlfriend watching in horror. ALL of that. ALL AROUND ME. ALL THE DAMN TIME. I do shit at school and by the way, suicidal thoughts are even suckier when you know they're NOT YOURS but they're SOMEONE'S in the room. I went through this shit, graduated, started working ass-end menial labour shit - because college costs money that poor kids with no assets and no support network can't have because HEY WHY DO WE NEED CITIZENS WHO CAN DO MATH - and worked four jobs non stop. And every day I get to hear from some rich middle class college graduate FUCKWIT telling me that if I just TRIED HARDER I'd be RICH like THEM, a white upper middle class asshole who was born in a house his parents OWNED and shit. THEN OUR LOCAL GOD OF DEATH WOKE UP And suddenly instead of feeling the shit everyone around me istelling me, I get to feel what HE'S feeling, which is, by the way, MURDER DEATH KILL HATE STAB STAB STAB, and that gets REALLY FUCKING OLD when you get it ALL THE TIME. THEN! I get to log onto a website to watch upper class assholes ask questions like 'oh, is racism real?' or 'hey, are gay people icky?' and 'please, tell me how smart I, a billionaire born to a millionaire, am!' and 'my sexuality isn't standard, and that makes me so very unhappy!' AND YET! I get to know that right now there's a girl in Sudan who's being raped, AGAIN. A kid in Oklahoma who's hanging himself because he can't stop the bullies. A home in Johannseburg where every last person is dying of AIDS because condom distribution is BAD. SO TO ANSWER: I'm poor but I'm so fucking rich I can't even feel properly hard done by about being poor. And my only major comfort is just how much MORE of a pack of assholes the people RICHER than me are and my ability to say I'M NOT THAT BAD.

"Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up." The one thing Jarvis is always asking me is 'why are people so cruel?'. I honestly don't know what to tell him. What do you think makes a man cruel?
What, really? This is easy. Humans developed to have a very small scope of interaction because our population exploded far faster than our brains expanded. Species-wise we're the same people who dropped out of the trees like 100k ago. Upshot is that your average human can only really see about 100~ people as ACTUAL PEOPLE. Your average person in the USA cares more about their lawn than they do about people who are outside of that tally. This is called the monkeysphere. So Jarvis, most people can only REALLY see 100 people as ACTUALLY PEOPLE, and therefore, start to view everyone OUTSIDE that sphere as lesser, or not worth caring about. And thus, it becomes easy to be cruel.
The more you knoooooow.

"The more things change, the more they remain... insane." I'm beginning to think that the more society progresses the more ignorant people become. What's your opinion of this?
If information is being produced at a higher rate than people are acquiring it then yes, people are getting more and more ignorant just as a matter of relative position. Upshot of this is that every time a guy like you makes shit that's totally new, the gap bteween how smart my dresser is and how smart I am gets SMALLER. This is part of why people hate smart people.

"Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion, rejection without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western science." Can religion and science actually co-exist or are they destined to be constantly at odds?
As long as religion makes testable claims that science can address, yes. If someone believes the planet is literally six thousand years old then we have a lot of proof to point out that that's simply wrong. If someone believes the planet earth is somewhere between sixty and seventy trillion years old we have a lot of proof to point out that THAT's simply wrong.

It means you're fundamentally untrustworthy and your friends have to hope that the private person they see is less of a lie than the public one.

Nah. I love Curie, but if I found out she like, killed kittens for fun, I wouldn't love her any more. the only people who don't put conditions on love are dogs. And well we should, because seriously, the idea of bottomless and unreasoning love is kinda creepy and stupid. I don't love my dad, and Ariel Ablaze shouldn't feel she should have to love HER dad because in both cases and contexts they've demonstrated that they aren't worth love. We worship love in this culture, we erect stupid shrines to it and act as though it'll fix problems, as if there's no such thing as an abusive parent or an unfair relationship with a spouse. Love is something we make and it's as strong or as good as we make it, and that means it can be broken and it can be broken by other people too. If you're bothered by that, then fuuuuuck, you better get better at building and find someone who'll help you, or put a collar on yourself and learn to fetch, because that's all you got.

What can be unethical about assistance?
I don't mean to get all randian and shit, but you can't just help by doing what you think is helpful like marriage incentives are REALLY BAD SHIT in 'poor urban communities,' which mean black communities, because the people there don't need a reason to 'stay together.' They need means to care for themselves, but if part of your income relies on you staying with - say - a wife beater or a cheater - then you're not going to have a healthy home environment. So you can't just pick random things to help because you think they sound good. Gotta get at the root of shit.

What, in your opinion, does it mean to be 'scientifically literate'?
It means having a basic familiarity with the rules that we know and can easily prove to be true. Two hundred years ago, knowing about optics and deep time was probably advanced scientific literacy. Nowadays, we can make five dollar telescopes and ten dollar trips to the aquarium, so it's easier to manage your extelligence. If a person can quote newton's most basic laws (gravity, reaction, inertia), know the difference between a hypothesis and a theory, have even a basic acquaintance with the scope of the universe - like what BILLIONS mean - then I'd say that's basic scientific literacy. But in a hundred years, we'll be able to have in-school particle accelerators and the scientific literacy of now will be the sign of a moron.

Elaborate. Why are/n't asymmetric relationships a good thing?
You got parasites and symbiotes. Most people think relationships are all symbiotes, everyone feeds everyone else, but that's bullshit. Just look at the q/a thing here, so many people who basically never ask anything, and if they stopped answering the overall traffic wouldn'tchange Most relationships are a lot more parasitic. Where one side gives more than it gets. Some peopel are just wired to handle this more, some people can just give more, and other people can't give as much. So you get these people who everyone talks ncely about like Delia who do so much for those around them, and who drive shit around them and so on, but who don't get nearly as much from those around them as they put out. I'm not saying 'all friends are parasites,' but I'm saying that the idea that all people in all relationships are equal is insane and derives from the idea of a society where all men are expected to BE equal rather than people are equal in the EYES OF THE LAW. I don't have the same rights as you, after all. The government and I have a relationship, where it has almost all the power and I have like the ability to cast one vote that's worth a sliver of an electoral college which can just ignore me. My dad and I have a relationship where I wait for him to die so I can piss on him, and he blames me for mom leaving. You can be a helpful symbiote and try to return as much as you get, but you might just not have that ability. So by and large just try not to be a drain, but recognise that sometimes, there are friends who will be able to carry you when you couldn't carry them and that's just okay. We're not all wired the same.

What's more interesting than this is the notion that there are some memories we have that are too keenly kept because they re-activate our experience of them. When it's a good thing we call it vivid memory or something like that, but when it's a bad thing we call it PTSD. Would I recommend deleting PTSD memories? Fukkin ytes. Look, people can say 'oh, these things make us who we are,' and that's fine, but you don't need to vividly remember, say, the image of your lover dying in your arms from a stroke at the age of sixteen to KNOW why he died, and to have his LIFE, the REST of his memories still matter to you.

I don't have perspective on my own life either. Because for all that I grew up raised by a man, beaten, abused and terrorized, and went to school with other people's suicidal impulses in my head, I was still a whilte male, which means that when I walk down the street, cops aren't so likely to shoot me for carrying iced tea, and employers aren't so likely to give me less money because of that a uterus I decided to wear for the day.

What is your opinion on abortion? Is it murder or a basic human right?
If there's a full grown adult human who needs my blood - specifically my blood - to live, and I choose not to give it to him, I have not committed murder When we're talking about fucking blastula it's even more retarded. Anti-abortion rhetoric requires an enshrinement of sexism and a rebellion against science. If an abortion is a sin so is vomiting, killing the same number of cells that have the same ability to sustain themselves without my body supporting them.

Frankenstein: As a creator myself, I have always been rather appauled by Victor's reaction to his creation. Do you consider him cruel to create such a creature only to be repulsed by it? Do creator's not have a duty to love that which they create?
Compulsory love is creepy. Do you love the multiphase drone missiles that shred through nurserys in Azerbijan? You made a thing, you created that thing, and then, upon reflection, upon seeing it in action, can you imagine being repulsed by it? The whole point of it is that he made it to be beautiful and amazing and was horrified to realise that what he'd been trying to make, and what he'd been imagining weren't what he made, weren't what he meant.

"Prejudice rarely shows reason" (I, Robot). Do you consider prejudice to be often unreasonable or is it usually founded on genuine fears and insecurities?
Prejudice always has a very simple, fundamental, sensible reason, which is to say when resources were limited we evolved a strong tribalistic sense that means we want to find ways as groups to exclude other groups from our resources and form a smaller, safer core. We don't live in that world any more, so prejudice is an ugly unnecessary part of our history, but any scientist, you know, like you apparently are, should know its logical origin point.

Thinking about the future at all is basically a skill. Most people get used to thinking about it in ways that go right, and are really optimistic despite waht they think. People just assume they won't fuck up, that they'll get it right, that shit just won't Go Wrong. And if you start to think about things going wrong a lot, we call that clinical depression. Thing is, you can get hit so hard you forget how to think about tomorrow. And just want to exist for one more day. And that changes how you treat people and what you think of people as doing.

Okay, three things. First, get something hard and firm, like a metal key or something, and press it against her thumbnail. If it changes colour you're still getting bloodflow to the extremities. She should be breathing, regularly, like uh, 3/4 time? And third, she should be keeping a rhythm with the flow of blood in her arm, I think it's like 1 beat per second?

Say you're hunting a villain, and the gun you have is too small. Do you just go buy a bigger gun? Even if it's from a shady source?
I think Zex has a better claim to an untrustworthy source of power than I do, but she's pretty much the only person I know. There's a strong magical tradition of 'be ware of the origin of power,' which was true back when all power was meted out in tiny amounts without any real understanding, infrastructure or legitimate education behind it. Fact is, power is power, and the source of power isn't very important. That said, if I'm hunting someone, the issue isn't going to be the size of my gun, it's going to be the tools I have to find them.

What do you think makes people who otherwise appear to be intelligent do dumb things?
Mostly it's because intelligence is a learned skill, a mental construction that occupies a section of our forebrain that isn't in the hierarchy of decision making. What this means is that we often make a bad decision, and THEN we rationalise it and justify it, instead of making a rational decision based on all the information we have.

What defines a 'good' person to you? If that term is too broad, what makes a person trustworthy to you?
I'm an empath. Formspring's been a weird experience for me because it's the first prolonged contact I've had with unreadables. People just are trustworthy. People will lie to you in the first five mintues of meeting them, and I really do mean everyone, they'll tell you something aloud that's not quite what they're thinking. Sometimes they'll tell you a big lie, sometimes a little lie. It's not the lying that's the problem, it's what they lie about and why, and that's where it all comes to a head. Of course, I'm an empath, not a psychic, and since mot's arrival, I lost the ability to really properly read people, which means that I'm relying mostly on my intuition of people picked up from years and years and years of observing human behaviour with the cheat codes on. The funny thing is, because I've seen how it worked, how it all looked under the hood, it all makes sense. It's all pretty easy to work out. So what makes a 'good' person isn't something I have a big list of definitions on, but I DO have a big list of things that make a person a dick. I assume people are, by and large, a little bit nice. Imagine a big spectrum, like, 1-100, with 50 neutral in the middle, I figure most people start at 55. And it's how it works out. People are mostly okay with being nice, they're okay with being kind to one another, and if you run up to a guy on the street and say 'hey, okay, can you hold my keys for five minutes,' nobody will screw you. But when you're say, pretentious, or deliberately deceitful, or disrespectful of the human rights of others, if you're a casual mysoginist or violent for fun, if you're the guy who cares more about how he's perceived than about doing the right thing, if you're ignorant and proud of it, these things knock you further and further down that spectrum.

((You're putting the cart before the horse. We have powerful associations with colours, and tones, things that are hardcoded in us, then softcoded by our culture. It's a big mess of possible symbols; if you're looking for colours to inspire and pull you in a direction where you didn't have one, some examples are that bright blue and yellow together are quite hopeful; a muted blue and a grey has a crisp, professional air; a brighter blue with a cyan trace is crisply easily read but can feel watery.

D-38 is purely utilitarian, and Elhanan, Carceri, Tradewind, Living Liberty and Knight Rain represent connections to other players or other groups, and therefore, I would want to keep that connection to those players. Torn simply has never died - he's been rerolled and recreated through so many versions it just seems he should endure... and Ryker is both connected, but he's an archetype I love, the teen dilf character, the responsible dad without having the same aging of life.))

Why is it people idolize other people?
Because we are all keenly aware of our own failings and cannot see those failings in others, we can't hear the nagging voice inside or the doubt that stems from something as simple as a misused word. This means that we often see the better aspect of other people than we see of ourselves, which can naturally lead to considering other people far, far better than we consider ourselves. Eventually this perspective becomes a proxy for ourselves; we see in other people the person or people we want to be, never realising that we might be almost the same as that person in this way.

How do you feel about dogs? Maybe I asked this one already, I don't remember.
Congratulations, you get to be spared the delete all button. I don't like them very much? They have a similar set of emotional reactions to humans without a lot of our thought, and without that it's a lot like all the feelings are coming through a megaphone. Don't get me wrong, cats are basically nasty, selfish, meanspirited things, and I prefer dogs, because a dog is at least unthinkingly nice. But I really hate the idea of unthinking devotion. I really hate how we've fetishised in our society these animal behaviours and tell ourselves laughing jokes about how these animals are. When a dog finds an owner who loves it as much as it loves him, that's great. But lemme tell you, like, barely one in ten dog owners really does that. And then you get fuckers like dog fighters.

Are you the center of your group of friends or are you more of a "serial sidekick?" Why do you think that is?
I'm a tagalong. Mostly because I don't have these long-term connections everyone else has. I'm not tuned to anyone, and everyone has their own shit going on. It's kinda nice, watching these people with their own lives, their own histories, mostly associating with one another. I turn up, I follow along, I beat people up for them and I don't cause a fuss. It helps that 'parole' is rarely a GREAT reason to build a social network, and that as I'm not a single woman, the amount of attention ANYONE in this city pays me is going to be below average.

Here's space to tell me more. Elaborate for me about your ideas involving the pantheon Lock mentioned.
It's a matter of bias. You have no idea how it looked from the outside, because you're not on the outside. You've been a metahuman for what, ten years? From the outside - and I went back and looked - the posts were all 'Wow, I can't believe it,' and 'Well, Max should go to the police,' against you. The guys FOR you were THREATENING VIOLENCE on people who dared to APPROACH you about it. You had a cop talk to your girlfriend at the time and suggest that she avoid putting shit on the public record about your location, and SHE went ape at HIM like he was the unreasonable one for trying to bring things to a nonviolent conclusion. And again: This isn't about a broken bar, this is about fourteen NORMAL PEOPLE who were HURT. You don't think that this a clique reaction, that it's an in-crowd out-crowd reaction because you're in the middle of it. You see the people who you like - Grant and Fist - as being 'right' so you have to perceive the people who they were arguing with as being 'wrong,' so you use the term 'pitchforks' and 'mob,' without even realising the implication there. When it's just possible that you and your friends all had bad judgement that day and made bad decisions. Hell, right now, you might even be smarter and wiser for it. You sure seem to be. It's why I've been so damn happy at all your posts lately because you've been posting as a mature, sensible adult, you've been showing insight into yourself and into other people. It's reassuring, considering that back then, I could have BEEN one of those people, and could have left there with broken limbs and permanent scars because you were having a bad day. Fourteen people were injured. Fourteen normal people. And you HAVE to see the reaction of others as unreasonable to justify the unreasonable reactions of your in-group.

Philosophy 1: You're on a rail cart speeding down a track with five rail workers ahead. The breaks are dead and if you hit them you will die. You notice that there is a side-track, and down the track is one worker. Sacrafice one to save five? Why?Why not?
Yes. Simple math. The argument contrary is that the flipping of a switch constitutes a deliberate action to kill one person. It can be perceived as murder, as a killing. Of course, in my case, I don't think agency works that way, and my prohibition against killing would have me paralysed and unable to act at all, possibly throwing myself off the train and leaving it to someone not so crippled.

Philosophy 2: Same situation as before, but you are on a bridge above the cart. You notice that next to you is a very fat man... if you gave him a push, he could stop the cart with his weight (you are too light to stop it.) Sacrafice one to save five?Why?
Actual act of agency to kill someone who has no moral impact on the scenario. No. This is the common response, further stymied by me being me.

Philosophy 3: You are a doctor with 5 patients injured in a rail cart accident. Each needs a different organ. You could harvest organs from a patient unconcious on the operating table, however... would you sacrafice one to save five? Why? (Morbid I know)
The postulate also assumes these are the ONLY WAYS in which the people will live, and the answer is no. Further necessary for the postulate is that they all die at THE SAME TIME, so you can't sustain them as long as possible waiting for other donors, then use the organs of the one that dies first to save the other four. But since that scenario happens all the time and it's called triage, it wouldn't be interesting I guess.

Philosophy finale: Three nasty hypothetical scenarios, uncomfortable to answer I know. But it's interesting how at some point 'sacrafice one to save five others' can turn from a good act into a horrible sin. Why do you think this is? Any closing comments?

I understand that in some cases it is done for the privacy of another, but sex is often not talked about. When privacy of someone else is not in jeopardy, what is it that makes this topic off limits or taboo?
Natural discomfort. People are intuitively conditioned to avoid things that allow them to feel emotional hurt. You, intuitively, keep a secret of things that have connections to your own inner workings that make you sad or angry. Sex relates to that sort of thing to other people. As to 'why' it's because sex is hardwired in our minds to be a competitive excursion, with us vying for better partners and resources and shit. Upshot is no guy likes talking about his dick unless he's sure that he's got the biggest in the room. Because these are secrets everyone keeps, everyone keeps talk of the scope of their weapon hidden. Because everyone naturally keeps these secrets, those who speak out about it often lie.

Do you feel you connect with people or better understand them through physical affection or sex? Do you think many other people feel the same way?
The ability to empathically feel another person's feelings from a distance, an ability I lost when mot awoke, needs a lot of exposure, skin to skin contact, or personal interaction, to be enabled these days. Often I have to make empathic guesses, have to understand the person on a pretty deep level. I have to know how they value things, I have to be familiar with their reactions, I have to very literally know THEM, rather than know the front they put forwards or the habits that they have. Or if we fuck, I get all that information kinda uploaded nice and quick during the act, because all of the barriers are down and mot can't touch me then. That's no longer an option for anyone, though. On the other hand, I think I'm tuned to someone in the Hyperion Force, now, and it's the most sexless friendship I've ever had. Even if it is like having an ant in a jam jar by my ear.

Sex or physical affection comes in different "flavors." Speed, strength, position, gender, ect.. Everyone has preferences, but have you ever thought about WHY you enjoy these things the way you do? What do you think it says about you?
I have thought about them a lot because unlike most people I have lived my life with the very real possibility that nothing I like, or think, is truly my own. Extreme isolation was able to let me engage in some of that contemplation.

Is there a negative character trait you tend to write off as an acceptable flaw? If so, are the flaws you find acceptable in others different to the flaws you find acceptable in yourself?
I don't tolerate violence against women. I don't tolerate a mindset of casual violence against women. I don't venerate rapists. I don't tolerate the company of rapists, or people who think rape is something to talk about casually. I lose my temper with people on the internet who benefit their whole lives from authority, structure, government and interdependent interconnection and then have the gall to act as if they are above the law. I am disgusted when I see people who flatten city blocks whining about being asked to control themselves. I am horrified when I see infinite energy sources and solar-system destroying power being put to the important task of whining on the internet about education standards. I have very little patience for ironically embracing sexism.
These are things that seem to be outside the social norm for the culture in which I was raised. These are things that are rude, socially awkward, embarassing or unpleasant to mention. I'm okay with this failing. I can accept being disliked for thinking these things and feeling this way.

(( Would you watch a "Smallville" style Wonder Woman series? Obviously I would since that's basically what I do everyday already with Eiko. Thoughts? ))
((I don't think I'd like a Smallville style series that focused on Wonder Woman for three reasons.
The first is that Smallville just isn't a very good show. It's a monster-of-the-week teen narrative designed to do for the Superboy mythos was Lois And Clark did for the Superman mythos and introduce it to people's mums. The show was built down to the floor with cynical communal writing, self-indulgent narcissism and all the effects you can get out of pragmatic problems (actress X is cheap) and political problems (actress X is shit, but she's going to star in a movie soon so she's willing to do a lot of guest spots and bump up ratings) that keep the story from having a cohesive, sensible core. You don't need a whole story planned out from the start (look at Breaking Bad), but you do need to have consistent, guiding hand on the rudder, ensuring that verisimilitude is maintained and minimizing plot cul-de-sacs. Even monster-of-the-week content should show you those infamous 'Who I Am' stories that I talk about.
The second reason is that Smallville is a permutation story. It takes a story you know, Superman, and it expands on a bit of it, making it into a field for many smaller stories. Honestly, I think Smallville could have been a really great series in this context, because it's a different take on a character that's well known and regarded. But Wonder Woman is not, in fact Superman. There are not six well-known Wonder Woman movies. There was not a successful TV series in the 90s all about Wonder Woman which launched a major actress' career and helped accelerate a comic culture. Her symbols are not recognisable literally the world over. That is to say: You can do stories about Superman's backstory and precise details of his history because there is a known and recognised history and backstory. We need to address the media and culture surrounding Wonder Woman in general being inadequate. We need the core stories, we need the core character, presented and made public. We need THAT before we can get onto Smallville.
The final reason I wouldn't do it, assuming that we could fix that permutation problem, and fix the political problem, and assume it's of good quality, is that Smallville features heavily with the plot trope of a powerful icon being less powerful. For Superman, whose history has rarely featured genuine, serious losses of power, that's somewhat interesting as we watch him grow upwards. Wonder Woman like most women in comics has suffered humiliation and degradation as 'plot points' and having her powers stripped away. In an egalitarian, sensible society with a culture that didn't have the fucked up views it does on rape and women, I would be okay with a Smallville style Wonder Woman series. No such society exists.
There's also a pragmatic thought which is that Wonder Woman isn't like Clark Kent; she didn't grow up in our culture, she's a stranger from a strange land. I'd rather see a Wonder-Woman inspired story about say, youth who somehow inherit parts of the greek pantheon's powers, as derived from Wonder Woman, and who live in the same universe as a Wonder Woman series. If you want to do a teen story, make it about teenagers coming to understand the perspective of a woman who comes from a place that's so very different. Not just saying 'teenager, plus world-crushing power.'))

((Looking back, what was the best idea for a character, group and/or storyline you never followed through on (that you don't intend to pull off in the next 2 and a half months)?))
((At one point during the '1 dollar VIP' sales, I did a test and found that these VIP-for-a-month accounts had three AE slots. I was planning with the next one to spend maybe 10 bucks on VIP accounts and BOMB those slots with story arcs for people, composed of 3 arcs.
The arcs that were in mind included a 3-piece arc where key secondary targets were already dead when you got there. The point of it was going to be that in arc 1, they were being taken out by Nation operations; arc 2, the secondary targets were Longbow hits, by irregulars (I was hoping to have my own Longbow Irregular character by then, and maybe someone else's), and arc 3, it was going to be Calibre working in the shadows, with a final mission where you could 'rescue' operatives from all three factions 'in disguise.'
This was because I had in my head of the idea that low-level heroes' stories should be able to intersect with higher-level heroes' stories in ways that aren't disempowering.))

What defines family, to you?
I don't know. It frustrates me that it's something so obviously important to so many people. It really matters - it's how people learn from their environment, it's how security gets provided, it's how you come into who you are rather than having it forced on you. It's how we get artists and engineers and idealists, rather than people like me who have all these skills because I did the shit I have to do. I've got a friend who recently got adopted, and another friend who finally found herself a family, and it has me wondering what's the right reaction. Does everyone need a family? Is that what's missing? Is that what'll make OTHER people happier?

Questions about a lifestyle you don't deal with could be interesting (like what I lived like before powers etc) Questions about growing up with powers WITHOUT murdering anyone, since it seems I'm a rarity. Questions about hero containment. About being redundant. About why I do things the way I do them. About why I'm good at the things I'm good at.

What are these people expressing?
First there's the reference in the name of the song, 'Thunderbirds are coming out.' This refers to three things at once. The old kids' show thunderbirds was about a super-rescue organisation all operating out of one family, where every character was played by a really badly-handled marionette. Their catch phrase was 'Thunderbirds are Go.' Coming out is a common phrase used to indicate admitting to your peers and friends your own homosexuality and has since been co-opted to mean admitting to and no longer making a secret of almost any character trait that was formerly a secret. So the song starts with that idea - thunderbirds are coming out. The video clip shows a sequence of multiple different bands from Melbourne. These are all real bands - each one asked to come in and be part of the video clip. They all sing the exact same song, not even in their own voice. They all do that while still acting like and looking like themselves. This is to imply that there's not as much separating these pop culture elements as their trappings suggest. The band at the very end who you never see singing are in fact TISM, the people who made the song and the clip. That band always appeared in masks and hoods to make sure that nobody knew who they really were. This was partly to subvert the cult of celebrity they felt was too pervasive in music culture, but also as they said 'because we're really boring guys.' They wanted their music to be judged more on the music than on who they were saying it, and why they said it that way. note that this is all before we're talking about the words of the song. The song starts talking in the voice of a teenager frustrated at being told who they should be by their parents, rebelling and changing that part of their life. But all they change is who they listen to - instead of their parents, they become their peers' puppet. This means that youth culture is itself self-confirming usually fed by external elements that are directed at that culture. Elements like the musicians depicted in this clip, who, the visuals suggest, aren't really all that different in the first place. The song goes on to talk about elements of an individual that seem independent but really aren't - particularly getting political views from youth radio. This is all underscored by a catchphrase that is easily chanted, rhythmic and gets in the head, and also derives its home from a children's show about being someone special.
tl;dr: Being a member of our society is often a about accepting an illusion of individuality.

What do you really want?
I think it'd be nice to look at a question like this and actually know what it means. Everyone around me can usually at least stammer around it. Hell, I know what they feel when you ask them that. There's usually this rising hope, then this crushing worry, and this tension as they try to make their words express the shape in their head. But I don't really think I want anything that's not just a lofty phrase that I learned to answer this kind of question with. "I want to fix the world" is a pretty cool one, and it makes people think you're a badass. But what the fuck does it even mean? I'm one guy with black knuckles and a death god inside. I don't really know I think what it means to really want something. Any time I see a thing that I think might make my life, I consider if I can do without it. And usually the answer is 'yes.' And so most of the time I do. I don't even know if I WANT to know what it is to WANT.

What's a problem that you see in the 'super' community which you don't think gets brought up enough?
The utter hagiography of people who have done as much harm as good while those of us who haven't ever raped or killed anyone get regarded with suspicion, or ignored, or treated on the outside, because we someone 'don't know.' Being a moral superhero makes you a minority.

How would you define Hyperion Force?
During the seventies there were these hero groups that had SUPER strict rules No killing, no public fussing, no killing, no gloryhogging, no killing, etc, did I mention no killing. Called Silver-Age style, they were allowed to push a lot of social wrongs - I think the first gay superheroine was in one of those groups - but they still had a strong moral core that they were willing to stand up for and state. Hyperion Force is one of those, still around, still meaning something. Sure, it has its fuckwits and a lot of people in it are insular. But I've never heard anyone say 'Oh, it wasn't really a rape rape.' while I was there. I've never heard Alexia say 'Oh, this isn't THAT important.' I've never heard Carrie running away from her responsibilities because she was having a hard time choosing which boy she was going to boink. When a member died, we brought in the killer, and made them face the law. And there was no idiocy about 'oh, maybe THIS one is worth killing.' We have an ex-cop who gets cookies. A librarian. I've gotten off the point.
Hyperion Force is a group of heroes that actually matter.

Why are you redundant?
In any given combat situation, people have their own measures of self-protection. It sometimes ends at the limits of a person's skin, but in this city, everyone has something they can do to keep themselves a bit safer than normal people. (Particularly the normal people - people like @Pathrunner and @shrikespikes f'rex.) Some of us are really good about being able to transfer our survivability to others. You do it by being obvious and able to take punishment. You pull people's attention to you. You force them to focus on you. Then you ignore what they can do to you. I do something similar. If I shock someone into raw existential terror so he can't fight me, I'm protecting myself, but I'm also protecting anyone else around me. Alexia Dale does what you do. As long as we have Alexia, I'm always second choice for any task. I'm not as well-liked. I'm not as good for the mission morale. I'm not as well-trusted. There have been times we've needed two Alexias, and I've taken up that role. (Though sometimes we've used Lucas for that.) But the point is, Alexia can walk through a riot. I can shut that whole riot down and send everyone scattering home. So, very simply: I'm redundant, because in most of what the Force does, I don't have to do what I can do. A lot of the time I'm just a black smoky smear that knows how to punch people in ways that hurt more than they'd ever imagined possible.

How is Hyperion Force different than any other organization?
Our public media manager hasn't had to excuse any mass murders, cover up date rapes, excuse any serial killers, or hide members from the police. So there's that. Beyond that, we're just doing the right thing, as hard as we can. You know, boring 'monster of the week' stuff - digital t-rexes and ninja buddha statues and such, things that everyone else seems to be too busy chasing their own dicks and worrying about their girlfriends' ex boyfriends' girlfriend's boyfriend shit.

Why do you do things the way you do?
This question's overly broad and hard to answer, but I recognise that by putting it in my 'questions I'd like' thing, I should have expected it. I do things the way I do them because they're the tools I have with the limitations I have. I don't kill because doing so would give mot more power, tear me into pieces and leave a breathing incarnation of mortal death in my place, the kind of thing that most heroes think they've faced in the belly of the beast, but worse. I box because I learned how to fist-fight growing up. I terrorise and horrify people around me because minds are fragile and weak and it's easier than trying to beat them all into submission one by one. I feel bad about it afterwards because PTSD is a thing and I know it happens.

Longbow rehab includes this bit where they show you these educational videos that are about instilling a good moral sense. But they're all shit that was leftover from US educational programs in the military in the 1950s. So I was sitting there with Walsh in the corner giving me evil eyes while the screen showed me 'Is It Love?' 'How to balance your checkbook.' 'The perils of promiscuity!'

Why do people like scary movies?
People like scary movies because they like to be frightened. Our systems have a chemical pump in them that drops an endorphin that rewards us for surviving and escaping a dangerous situation. Over time we came to seek out ways to stimulate that reaction without actually experiencing the danger. Movies help us feel like we're experiencing things, they use music and tone and shots to pull our percpetions into a space and then make us experience them in our brain. That lets us get emotional reactions without ever having to experience things. People watch scary movies so they can feel that thrill of avoiding death without ever having to do anything dangerous. You wouldn't have any kind of connection to it, though, because that'd require an empathic reaction. You wouldn't feel the danger of being in a scary situation, you'd just be looking at a bunch of people behaving less rationally and sensibly than you, then dying.

Because a mentor would require someone else to have gone through what I'm going through in a way that gives them both experience I would respect and advice I could use. I'm okay with being unique.

What was your favourite part of Book 2? I have an idea, but I'm curious to see if it's right.
Not the scene on the fishing boat. Pretty great dialogue, I like that she punched, not slapped him.
Not the scene in the princess' chamber. Very intense, and it was kinda fun that you somehow wrote a sex scene with Sparrow that STILL doesn't give away his/her gender.
Not the scene with the witchtaker and the thief. That kind of argument gets annoying to read too long because you wind up just wanting the one who's right to win.

Why is the tsundere arch type an appealing thing?
It makes people feel special. Here is someone who is flummoxed by their feelings, someone who knows how to bark and snap - but with me, at the right time, they are sweet and kind. Everyone wants to feel a bit special. When your partner is an asshole to everyone but you, that's a way to feel special. It means you're seeing something of them that nobody does see. You're in somewhere with them that's more intimate, more safe, closer. It means that the connection between the two people is so much stronger because there's less stuff in the way.
Also I suppose angry sex is pretty awesome.

I went to the ruins of Nova Praetoria and found an old plaque that Carrie used to see every day when she left the house. S'one of the few things she remembers really clearly. I recovered it in the ruins, buffed it up, and had it engraved with the Hyperion Force logo in place of the Powers division symbol.
I got Alexia a CD, don't know what she really likes but I figure if she doesn't like Whitesnake she's probably not going to like anything else I offer, and a copy of Colette's compilation of short stories from 13-16.

What is the hottest thing with heels?
Went to find a SFW picture on Colette's phone of herself in heels. No such thing exists.

Who do you miss seeing replies from here?
Ash, mostly. Faige, kind of, but apparently she's all running the fucking business empire and saving days. I do sort of miss watching Aglow spout idiotic amoral bullshit llike this was her fuckin' deviantart account, because nothing was quite the same for that shot of moral superiority. Kazeno, but to be Kazeno's friend is to miss her.

It's been a month since the beginning of the new year. How does yours look so far?
There's more stuff to do. Dip in grunt level crime has prompted restructuring in the police force. I'm now considered more of a present threat because I don't know, longbow need to justify their manpower. Government operations never get smaller, I swear.

Anyone got any opinions about this new Hero Distribution Legislation, or have you not been keeping up?
Won't work, will fuck up everything, but the occasional massacre of children is just the price of doing business in the greatest fucking country on earth. Do it right and you can get book deals and be loved by millions.

Do you consider us friends?
No. You don't consider us friends, so why would I impose that idea on the situation?

I think that I'd feel everything I ever did to Chris Brown and I'd still do it the next day with nails in. It's song technique. Most of it's bad. But when you can't buy instruments or music lessons and all you can do is imagine along with music you hear, when your voice is your instrument, it's the freeest form of music you can make. It's poor man's music. It's the music of streets. Fuckin' sick of it being spent to buy lambourghinis for shitheads who want ice sculptures of their erect dicks. Whoring out culture.

Alright, fess up: Who else was approached about being 'inspiration' for a teen superhero TV show?
Not me. Max is Paragon's Will Smith, the black person that doesn't scare white people, so they're not going to talk to the scary ones before then.

Why do you think you're disliked?
Think, bitch I know. I'm disliked for a host of reasons. Most of them because it makes it easier to dismiss me.
