Announcement: Additional Material

Posted: 28th November 2010 by Jeff Bouley / Deacon Blue in Announcements / General

I’ve been adding some more entries to the “About Transhuman Powers” page (accessible through the drop-down menus at the top of the page) over the past week or so after I noticed some gaps (bringing the total to 19 categories thus far). I have no doubt that there are many other types of powers I could add and simply haven’t considered yet, so feel free to chime in with some suggestions of your own, either in the comments section for that page or for this post.

About the only kinds of powers I’ve felt the need to avoid so far are flight (I just cannot conceive of human ability to simply defy gravity to that degree and somehow provide propulsion of any significant kind). I’ve considered that perhaps a Morph with sufficient skill could alter his or her body to glide a short distance or that it might be possible for some kind of Eco to have an ability to affect gravity such that he or she could levitate briefly, but out-and-out flight per se just doesn’t sit well with me in my attempt to have some semblance of reality.

Also, I can’t see intangibility being an option either, though the Warpsmith power category could potentially provide a close approximation.

Other than those two areas (and magic), I haven’t really ruled much out so if you have thoughts, share them please.

Oh, and I have a couple stories in the works right now, both of them one-shots, so new fiction should be up sometime Monday, Tuesday at the latest.
