What would Noelle and Oliver's original power have been?

WoG bank.

>08:10 Panda: Fantastic. Last but not least: Noelle.​

>Panda: Deets on what her power was originally supposed to do?​

>08:13 Wildbow: Powers aren't supposed to be anything specific.​

>Wildbow: They're too variable in the results they give​

>08:16 Panda: As far as vials are concerned?​

>08:19 Wildbow: The vials are named in sort of a compromise between the observed results.​

>08:20 Wildbow: So her 'Division' vial turned up, say, seven or eight different powers in the course of testing.​

>Wildbow: A duplication cape that spawned off copies of people they could see (with the cape's memories/personality)...​

>08:21 Wildbow: A cape that could create 'pods' they could respawn from if they died within a certain range.​

>08:22 Wildbow: A case fifty three that could smear themselves over someone in a semiliquid state and then walk away with a share of that person's vitality and that person's features (no powers)​

>08:23 Wildbow: A cape that could, again, spawn off chunks of themselves that would then expand and eventually serve as deployment zones for their own low-intelligence duplicates​

>08:24 Wildbow: A cape that, upon touching someone, locked in on that individual's DNA and qualities, and then spawned off a roughly identical, loyal duplicate.​

>08:25 Wildbow: A cape that could absorb people to regenerate rapidly, at a cost of their own features/identity.​

>Wildbow: (and the life of the victim)​

>08:26 Wildbow: A cape with exceptional shapeshifting and self-duplication abilities.​

>08:27 Wildbow: Noelle's own neuroses and personality was liable to create something with a master and brute aspect to it.​

>Wildbow: Well, the brute extreme was largely her injuries​

>Wildbow: And the vial's own tendency towards brute/shifter powers.​

>08:29 Panda: This is very open-ended. I'm impressed.​

>08:30 Wildbow: Yes. Bask in my brilliance, please.​
