Topic: I want to sell Powers, any suggestions?
In: Boards ► General

Posted On Nov 22th 2010:
Hello everyone, this is the Seven Colored Puppeteer.
I've noticed that all of human society is influenced by the existence of individuals who wield powers considered abnormal to humans. And, like any individual with a unique and useful skillset, such individuals are highly sought after.
If they are paid so well, how much can one make turning the powerless into superhumans?
Before I begin my business, I need to know how much it should cost to grant the potential to use magic to the magicless masses as well as the knowledge to use it.
Any laws I need to be aware of in the North American continental area that might make my business illegal?

First! Also, calling bullshit!

What does bovine waste have to do with anything?

It's a figure of speech; he's saying you're a liar. To explain why… Selling powers? If it was easy enough to mass produce parahumans, there would be a lot more of them running around.

"Superhumans"? I'm sorry, but are you some sort of Parahuman supremacist? Are you with the Elite? Also, Magic? Tinkers create super advanced technology; I don't think you can call powers magic.

Adepts are the ones that talk about magic, not the Elite. That said; can you really grant powers to people? Does the magic endanger your soul or anything? I'd rather not go to Hell for dealing with the Devil.
Also, where are you located? I'm pretty sure that's going to factor into who you're going to be selling to and by extension, how much you're going to have to charge.

Oh God, no! Void as a parahuman is worse than the notion of Endbringers!

Coyote-C: Seriously? Even if OP was serious (they obviously aren't and are clearly fishing for attention, I don't see why you are all feeding the obvious troll), then the notion of Void Cowboy getting powers is still nothing compared to the horrors inflicted by Endbringers, you ass.
We lost a lot of people to Behemoth not weeks ago; fuck you!

Whitecollar: I'm sorry, did you not see the Shinto Priestess from Japan driving Behemoth off in record time a week ago? The notion of parahuman abilities being supernatural in nature wouldn't surprise me.

Is this topic even in the right part of PHO? Even so, this isn't going to turn into one of those scream fests about cauldrons and conspiracy theories, is it?

Seven Colored Puppeteer: If you really do have the ability to grant people powers, I would advise you seek out the nearest PRT facility as soon as possible.

Even if the OP is an attention seeking troll, you're clearly out of line.
Even if the OP isn't an attention seeking troll, this thread is still devolving into a mess. I'm locking it until I can get a more experienced mod here.
Seven_Colored_Puppeteer: If you're really capable of what you claim you are, I would strongly urge you to join the Protectorate.

Private message from Seven_Colored_Puppeteer:
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer: XxVoid_CowboyxX, after the rude responses I've gained asking about how I should conduct my business, I've decided I'd grant you magical power if you agree to act as proof that I am not telling falsehoods (and with the added bonus of angering those who have slighted me.) Do you accept? No, there is no risk to your immortal soul. Although, the loss of humanity would mean that your immortal soul would automatically become a Phantom and pass Sanzu upon death, unable to become a Ghost or Vengeful Spirit. But I have not seen evidence that it's possible for one's soul to become a Ghost or Vengeful Spirit upon death ever since coming to Earth Bet, so I don't believe anything is being lost.
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: Sign me up!
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer: Good, where do you want to meet up and when?
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: Wait, how do I know you're not trying to lure me into a dark alleyway for the purpose of kidnapping me?
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer: I did tell you to choose the time and date that we meet up, didn't I?
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: I'm not expected to come alone, am I?
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer*New Message*: Why would I want you to come alone? I am literally trying to make money and I need clout for that. That said, I would want us to come to meet in a public place.
...
The incredibly nerdy boy blinked when he read the new message he received. Now he felt like an idiot for suspecting that Puppeteer was a pedophile rapist or something.
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: In that case, when's the earliest you can get to a location called Fugly Bob's? It's in Brockton Bay.
And sent. Greg Veder minimized the web browser before triple checking his computer project. Nope, still found no problems with it. Then again, this subject was one of the few things he was good at in school; unlike English... or Sports... or getting any girls to like him.
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer*New Message*: The fast route Google Maps is show puts at Sixth day morning. I want to settle in, so how about the seventh day of this week? Half-way between Sunrise and High Noon.
...Was that an English error he was looking at?
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: Seven days to get here?
►Seven_Colored_Puppeteer*New Message*: No, seventh day of this week. Three days assuming no problems.
Was the self proclaimed magic user illiterate? Or a child perhaps? Well, he had nothing to do Saturday Morning.
►XxVoid_CowboyxX: Fine, I will see you then.
... He logged off of PHO. Class would be getting out soon, and he needed to find someone who was willing to go with him during Thanksgiving break to Fugly Bob's. As much as he'd love to ask out that Charlie girl, he vaguely recalled her doing something for Emma Barnes. Emma was a teen model and one of the most popular girls at Winslow High; the sort of girl he'd accept an invitation from at the drop of a hat, but knew he probably should not get involved with when he wasn't thinking with the head in his pants.
In contrast, there was that girl he shared his programming class with; Taylor Hebert. He originally was planning on talking to her months ago, being a fellow nerd; but his self preservation instincts stopped him when it turned out that Taylor was, while not exclusively, the biggest target of the popular girls at Winslow. However, as November progressed, one would notice that those who bullied the nerds didn't pick on Hebert as much as they used to. Was that a sign that he could approach her without fear of that track star giving him a wedgie?
Well, there was no other way to find out other than asking.
And when the final bell rang, he would collect his things and approach her...
"Hey, Hebert; are you free Saturday?"
He wouldn't be stopped, not before asking her to come with him to Fugly Bob's, even if she rejected him.
"Did Madison put you up to asking me out as a prank?" she asked with obvious suspicion.
"Uh..." He froze up at the accusation even though that wasn't the case. Of course she'd be worried about being pranked! "No, I wanted to meet an online friend named Seven Colored Puppeteer, and I didn't want to come alone."
And there it was; while him having no filter surely wasn't a big problem, it probably wasn't a good point to him.
The girl with the beautiful black hair blinked through her thick rimmed glasses, and she seemed to relax a bit before asking "Did you say 'The Seven Colored Puppeteer'?"
"I did," he answered, slightly confused on why that was what she would zeroed in on.
