Colors, Traits & Powers

Power Combinations

Color Assignments

Upon acceptance into the game, all characters are assigned a color that corresponds to strong personal traits they possess, and the color of their personal scrubs and their wrist device. These colors also correspond to special abilities which may be activated in the character on the fly, as designated by the mods, and/or as specified by conditions in the table below.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Once a character arrives in the game, the player is free to utilize color-related powers as a plot device anytime, provided any conditions for activation are met.
• These powers are NOT "on" all the time, and may prove to be unpredictable or unreliable at inopportune moments to provide players further plot device. Please also note that they might be temporarily deactivated or activated for a period of time as dictated by the mods.
• Powers may only be used on other characters with the player's explicit consent ahead of time. So be sure to talk to each other!

Power Combinations

The combination powers listed below may be triggered by physical, skin-to-skin contact of 5 seconds, ONLY DURING TIMES AS DESIGNATED BY THE MODS. THESE COMBOS ARE NOT "ON" OR OTHERWISE AVAILABLE ALL THE TIME. The combo powers last a maximum of 10 minutes before fading and requiring additional skin-to-skin contact. Unless otherwise noted, the resulting powers are available to each person in the pair individually. Color combinations not listed below do not trigger a combination power at this time. Use of combination powers negate the individual's personal color power.

Color Power Combinations

Hunter Green

Black

Increase in muscle mass and density, accompanied by a jolt of super strength-providing adrenaline.

Hunter Green

Orange

Psychic link between the pair that allows the creation of a shared, tangible "shadow avatar" who mirrors their synchronized movements and may fight for them without sustaining damage.

Hunter Green

Teal

Psychic detection of eminent danger triggers an "alarm" reflex (offensive or defensive) via their skin: Spikes, shooting acid, steel plates, etc. Anything reasonable and skin-based is OK.

Hunter Green

Navy Blue

Ability to instantly manifest temporary, tangible weaponry or defensive items from the ambient energy around them.

Hunter Green

Yellow

Kinetic energy from damage/attacks is absorbed and used to create muscle mass that becomes increasingly more dense and impervious with each blow.

Black

Teal

Ability to slow time to a crawl for the world around them but not themselves, allowing manipulation of elements before returning to normal pace. (Bullet time, not super speed.)

Black

Magenta

The ability for each to shapeshift into a discrete living object for offensive or defensive purposes — A tree, a wolf, a bird, etc. (They may be different from each other.) While transformed, pair maintains a psychic connection and may communicate.

Black

Red

Creation of personal protective "diamond" shield which is also sharp and hard enough to be used offensively. When in proximity, the pair may combine their shields for a larger, even tougher, even sharper mega-shield that they share.

Black

Light Gray

Any enemy who lands a blow to either in the pair instantly sustains the same exact damage on themselves.

Black

Navy Blue

Any sort of attack, whether by weapon or hand-to-hand, is hyper-accurate and high-damage.

Black

Violet

Psychic link between the pair that allows psychokinesis against an enemy — Manipulating the enemy's perception with a shared thought.

Navy Blue

White

Regardless of what is used for offense, it always works and always strikes home, whether directly, via ricochet, etc.

Navy Blue

Teal

Psychic detection of eminent danger triggers ability to detect any and all weaknesses, which appear to glow on the enemy — The brighter the glow, the more damage may be done there.

Navy Blue

Magenta

Psychic connection revealing most advantageous moment to travel back to anytime within the past 60 seconds, and then ability to travel back to that moment together to change events. May only travel back (not forward), and only a max of 60 seconds from the present moment.

Orange

Yellow

Explosive Intangibility: The ability to absorb energy, become physically intangible, and then direct the energy into an outward blast. May be used to "phase" into something and then blast it apart.

Orange

Violet

Ability to physically adapt any or all of the body into what has been touched — To be made out of stone for defensive purposes, grow vines for offense attacks, etc.

Orange

Light Gray

Intangible Invisibility: Ability to make oneself entirely invisible with a thought, paired with the ability to phase through matter as needed.

Teal

White

Psychic detection of eminent danger to allow for preemptive manipulation of inanimate surroundings via verbal command — Instruct trees to form a shield with limbs, an avalanche to fall onto enemy, etc.

Magenta

White

Ability for each to change their physical size with a thought, from a minimum of ant-sized to a maximum of 30 feet tall.

HANDY NOTE: On the community layouts, the band surrounding a character's icon is their color for a quick, at-a-glance reference.

Comments

[enterprisingheart]

For the conditions on the black scrubs, is that the person associated with the color feeling hopeless/backed into a corner, the person they're providing the boost to feeling that way, or both?

[sixthiteration]

The person with the black scrubs feels that way.

Thank you for asking; we'll clarify on the table!

[pretendtoneedme]

For people in white or black scrubs, can they impart that blessing onto themselves or onto others only and they don't benefit from it?

[sixthiteration]

To others only! They would only benefit from it if they were around someone ELSE with that same color and the conditions were met and that person chose to touch them.

[super_seal]

When the change of colours occurs in game, will the characters know they have a new colour?

[sixthiteration]

Yes, their scrubs and their wrist device will be in the new color.

[underachievement]

A question about red! Does the shield only repel people or other physical objects as well?

[sixthiteration]

When we came up with it, the idea was other people because of the personality traits, but use it however you like if it makes plotting/gameplay more fun. :)

[underachievement]

Ha ha I love it thank you!

[skyward_eyes]

For Blue/Black combination, is this only for physical attacks or would it be useful also for people who have taken a power like pyrokinesis?

[sixthiteration]

As long as the conditions are met, you can use the combo powers for whatever you like, without whatever purchased powers you like!

[skyward_eyes]

'without whatever purchased powers you like'

Was that supposed to be 'with'?

[sixthiteration]

Yes, typo, sorry!

[bindsthedead]

What is the difference between the blue/black and blue/white combo powers? Is it that blue/black always hits the mark and hits hard, while blue/white... if it doesn't hit, the attack bounces around until it does?

[sixthiteration]

White/Blue is like Domino (luck-based, from the White) — You literally cannot miss, no matter whether you are randomly tossing a twig or using a bazooka. Maybe a bird catches the twig in mid-air and drops it so it pings off a bolder and then flips back up into the enemy's eye, blinding them.

Black/Blue is exceptional accuracy that hits very hard.
