Body Type: Lean

“Why not? This is Zane’s philosophy for most things, but most noticeably for his clothing and physical appearance. Zane’s idea of good style is usually something that turns people’s heads, and not typically because they think he looks devilishly handsome either. With a sense of style like that, there is no good way to describe what Zane’s clothing looks like on an average day.

Zane’s other appearance markers are a lot simpler to describe, as they don’t change radically from day to day.

With his shock of blindingly white hair and pale blue eyes, he almost appears to have stuck his finger into an electric socket just to see what it might do. Zane doesn’t mind looking this way though, as it suits his style philosophy quite nicely (and it is distinctly possible that he did insert his finger into an electric socket, just to see if he could divert some of the energy from there, into his own energy storage, but more on that later). The crop of bone colored skin cells atop Zane’s head is variously styled depending on the day and attains assorted looks: brushed forward, brushed up and fluffy, spiked, parted, faux hawk, etc. . . The length of the whiteness is between a quarter inch and three inches, depending on what part of Zane’s head you are measuring and how long it’s been since his last hair cut.

Just below the shock of albino shading lie two discs of blue ice. These orbs don’t stay simply ice for long though, as they usually have a bright twinkle to their hardened surface. Zane is characteristically a fun loving jokester, which accounts for the twinkle, but occasionally will drop into moods of depression or a flare of anger. In the former, his eyes will attain the look of a pond on a cloudy day, blue, dull and lifeless. But for the latter though, the pond becomes a raging sea and the lively twinkle the flare of fire. It is highly suggested NOT to anger him because while the flash of anger doesn’t last too long, it burns with a very intense heat once lit.

Physical Abilities:
The only physical ability of Zane’s that is anything beyond standard human is his ability to ride a unicycle, and this isn’t even all that amazing, as it just takes time and practice with a hint of inherent balance.

Supernatural Abilities:
Zane was born with a hole in his essence that connects directly to large bore energy conduits that power the supernatural in the universe. It is not a harmful discrepancy in his makeup and is only unidirectional. The energy only drains into him, and never the other way. Zane must dispel the built up energy in his system in other ways. The only way direction is caused by the pressure differences on either side of the hole. There will always be more energy in a large puissance line, than there will ever be within Zane.

As far as is understood, this hole was undetectable and dormant within him until his adolescent years. During puberty, along with the other physiological changes that mortal humans experience, Zane was first made aware of this anomaly in his supernatural anatomy. It was during this formative and body altering experience that the hole finally became large enough to effect Zane. Since that time it has continued to grow, but will never elevate him to god status, at least, not as far as it is currently speculated. It is thought that the hole’s growth pattern is similar to that of a muscle. The more you use it, the bigger and stronger it gets, up until a certain predefined point. Zane has not yet found the end point to his supernatural strength.

-Energy expenditures
-Zane can release stored energy in its raw form from the surface of his skin. The speed, power, intensity and size of the energy release can be controlled.

-Energy can be converted to heat energy before being released from the surface of Zane’s skin. This causes Zane’s whole body to increase in temperature for as long as he desires to release energy in this fashion. His body has since acclimated to such heat levels and has gained a resistance to heat in general.

-Energy can be fed into Zane’s metabolism and processed like food energy. Because this is supernatural energy, it can lend superhuman abilities to either specific parts of his body, or to the whole system at once. These effects are usually seen in greater speed, strength or endurance.

-Zane can infuse objects outside of himself with his stored energy. This infusion requires that Zane acquire physical contact with that object. If Zane has energy stored in an object, he can manipulate that energy and thus, the object. Floating objects, doors that open on command, and stringless marionettes.

The energy can be removed from an object in various ways. Zane can simply reabsorb the energy through physical contact or direct the energy out of the object in the form of a beam, heat, or all at once, causing the object to explode.

-Stored energy can be released into other beings, as well as objects. This energy is then given over to the control of that other being. This means that the energy is used to power the other being’s physical form or any supernatural powers that they might already possess.

-Energy detection and absorption
-Because of Zane’s link with the universal energy streams, he has gained the ability to perceive these supernatural energies in the physical world. In addition to being able to sense the use of supernatural energy, Zane can also absorb this energy and add it to his own. While direct access to the large energy conduits is impossible for Zane, due to the small size of his connection to them, tapping into energy fields that are nearer the surface of reality is possible for him. Anything that has energy is a potential outlet for Zane to plug in to an utilize.

-Experimentation
The possibilities of the uses of universal energy are limitless. Zane, however, has only learned how to harness it in limited ways, as documented here. As Zane grows in knowledge and continues to experiment with his manipulative powers over energy, the ways in which he can utilize the energy will surely grow and become more refined.

Signature Moves/Attacks:
-Laser Beam
Zane can release stored energy in its raw form from the surface of his skin. The speed, power, intensity and size of the energy release can be controlled.

This short, concise description requires a little more explanation. The raw form of energy that referred to is hard to describe, but is the same kind of energy that is utilized in energy weapons, to give a fairly well known example. The effects of this launched energy can also be compared to the discharge of an energy weapon. The affected area reacts as though hit by a large bullet-like object (of whatever size the energy beam was) and is also effected by the heat discharge of the beam. The amount of heat given off is proportional to the size of the discharge.

-Leech
Anything that has energy is a potential outlet for Zane to plug into an utilize.

This literally means anything. For example, a plant has energy in it. It stores up energy from the sun that it gathers through its leaves. Zane could suck that plant dry of energy and leave it a dry, withered husk. Mind you, one plant usually does not store an immense amount of energy within it, but consider a tree that has been growing for 100 years or more. Such a giant would be a decent repository of energy. This power is very dangerous, as it is a very quick and simple way for Zane to kill things, anything. He tries to only use this ability when it is either absolutely necessary, or will not cause harm.

Home:
Psychotopia City

Origin:
Planet Earth

History:
Zane grows up on earth and realizes his powers during puberty.

Zane’s family members are mostly normal people with mutants and other supernatural folk in the family tree. There are dormant genes in the family line that occasionally produce a gifted son or daughter.

Most of the time these ancestors in the family tree are not important, although they are not ignored. Zane grew up knowing that there was the potential that he was like one of these ancestors that he’d heard about, although as time went on his hopes grew fainter and fainter. Usually the realization of powers comes on quite early in life, although there was always the tale of that late bloomer that always got passed around, as a warning and a hope that there was always the chance that you too could be a gifted one.

Zane discovers his powers along with his deepening and cracking voice.

At first, Zane thinks that he is sick, and takes a few days off from school to recover from what he thinks is a flu bug. What Zane doesn’t know is that his conduit to the powers of the cosmos has finally become large enough to begin draining substantial amounts of energy into his system. Zane feels sicker and sicker, and has this feeling like something inside is about to burst. He is taken into the doctor to check for appendicitis, but when he checks out normal, as far as the doctors are concerned, it is finally suspected that Zane may be endowed with his family’s mutant gene.

The family elders that are still alive are summoned and asked to assist in determining exactly what is afflicting Zane. As this process is moving along, Zane only continues to feel worse. It isn’t always a painful feeling, but a notion that something inside is full, and the pressure continues to build. About a week after the feeling was first noticed, and determined to be more than a stomach ache, Zane’s body finally took the initiative to assist itself and disgorge some of the energy that had been building up. It occurred at night, when Zane’s mind was most at rest and his body was most in control.

That morning, Zane woke up on the floor beneath his bed and opened his eyes to a view of the ceiling. You ask how Zane could be beneath his bed and be staring at the ceiling? Zane himself asked his question, and was quickly answered as he saw a Zane-shaped hole burned all the way though his mattress and box spring. There was even on outline of where he was lying on the floor charred into the carpet of his bedroom.

While the evidence in his bedroom was being examined, Zane was being interrogated by a select group of the family who had been determined to know the most about the dormant family gene. Zane found that after the nocturnal incident, the swollen feeling that had been building inside him had abated, but was not entirely gone. It was soon conjectured that there was something inside Zane that was trying to get out, and the incident the night before was his body allowing that something to escape. After a series of experiments, Zane was able to reproduce the heat that his body had produced without his consent during the night. Once the initial hump had been overcome, control of the discharge of energy started to become more natural to Zane and required less and less concentration to direct in more and more specific ways.

At first, Zane was limited to dispensing energy only in the form of heat from the surface of his skin. Over time, Zane was able to regulate the heat dissipation by degrees intensity and also location on his body.

It was a disappointment to Zane to find that while he had inherited his family’s special gene, it seemed to only be limited to this worthless buildup of energy that could be released in the form of heat. It didn’t seem to be a very useful power except for helping out in the kitchen occasionally.

It was during a moment of frustration and experimentation that Zane discovered an alternate use of his built up energy. He’d gone out into his backyard to blow off a wad of heat energy when his temper flared in vexation. “What’s the point of this useless power?” Zane yelled, as he began heating up the exposed portion of his skin. “I’m a useless $%#^ing oven!” He concentrated the discharge of heat to his hands and held them before him. “What good am I?!?” Zane’s hands began to glow in the intensity of his frustration and because of the heat that was exiting through them. It was at that moment extreme energy release and anger that his body altered the method of energy removal. Zane’s hands stopped glowing from every surface and shot two glowing iridescent pillars of puissance up into the sky in the direction that his hands were pointing. Zane’s anger quickly faded as his curiosity took hold. The twin beams lasted for only a second and faded into nonexistence as soon as his anger lost control.

For the second time, once a method was achieved once, the modification and control of it came fairly easily, as it had with the heating method of release. It was not long before Zane was able to exercise detailed control over this new form of energy release.

After this discovery of a new method of energy release, it was decided, by both Zane and the rest of his family, that more research needed to be done into Zane’s particular brand of gene mutation. It took a decent amount of effort and searching, but eventually a teacher was found who was well versed enough in psychic powers and the like to determine exactly what Zane’s mutation consisted of. Under this man’s tutelage, Zane learned the repertoire of moves that he currently knows, and was taught all the methods that this man knew in regards to unlocking other techniques. Also, this man was the first to tell Zane of the existence of the Dojo.

Apparently, due to his teacher’s skills, and the circle of people that he associated with, an invitation was given to him to join the Sensei’s newly founded world. This man, Zane’s first sensei, declined the offer and chose to remain on earth to seek out and train more fledgling gifted humans, such as Zane himself.

After being introduced to the idea of the Sensei’s new world, and the possibilities that would most likely abound in such a place, Zane wholeheartedly pursued and devoured all knowledge that he could find relating to the Dojo. And from what he could find, it sounded like an amazing place. His parents were staunchly opposed to Zane gallivanting off to such a place before he was in the legal majority on earth, but once he became 18, they decided that it would be up to him, since they would have no legal authority over him anymore anyway.

As you can guess, since you’re reading this profile from within BlackStar, Zane decided to enter the mysterious world of Au’Marui, the god of insanity.

Personality:
Zane is easily characterized by his off-beat-ness. He is a goofy and fun loving person by nature. This does not mean that he is foolish and stupid though. Zane is an intelligent person and the possessor of decent problem solving skills. In addition to his intelligence, Zane has a strong personality, and likes to make himself known. This can translate into putting forth ideas in a brain storming session, to wanting to just lead the whole group himself. If faced with another, stronger personality, Zane will try to logically see who is more capable of being the “leader” and will submit to a more qualified person. If everything is moving along smoothly without any intervention on his part, Zane will step back, and be a follower. It is simpler to follow, and there are times when obeying is more desirable than directing.

Don’t get the idea that Zane is just a comedian and a logical leader when the situation calls for it. He is also a very caring person, but sometimes that side of him gets covered up by these other personality traits. When it really matters, Zane will stick up for those that have earned his trust, and will almost always give assistance and show compassion to a person in need.

Known Weaknesses:
-Combat
Zane can only attack and utilize stored energy when he actually has some energy stored. If his tank is empty, and there are no sources close by to drain, he is next to worthless.

-Non-Combat interaction
Zane is a touchy person sometimes, and has a short fuse that will detonate the anger bomb over some really stupid things. This causes him to not think as rationally, which leads to foolish decision making.

((I thought I would add this, just because it was something that I wrote as I was brain storming for this character))

Puissance Theorem
There is one force that moves through the cosmos. This is the force that acts according to Newton’s Laws and is the gasoline that powers the universal machine. It is the force that holds atoms together, tells the plants that spring has arrived and that it’s time to bloom, and guides the heavenly bodies in their courses through the void.

In addition to this natural energy there are extra amounts of energy that flow just behind, beneath, above, and to the left and right of the visible universe. These excessive currents exist to power the supernatural. The various gods, demons, spirits and other occultic beings that exist draw heavily on these hidden streams for their existence and reality altering powers.

Not only do spiritual beings harness these streams, but a handful of mortals, and creatures between gods and mortals, can access these secret flows of power. Usually, such sub-beings must use specific methods and techniques to gain limited access to the large energy veins. This is not always the case, but the closer you are to mortal and the further you are from god status, the greater inherent difficulty you will have in connecting with supernatural energy.

[LordPsycho]

Wow.

You either are very lucky, or you've been studying some of my older RP'ing with DP.

The source of the Immortals Power does indeed lie within the "Immortal Realm" To be cut off from this is to be banished,as early DP was. This means you have to find alternative sources of energy or risk being dispursed throughout the cosmos.

[Mr. Barret]

[HisLordship]

Indeed. Such a storyline would have been considered arrogance and powerplaying in any other fold.

But here, you stumbled upon the Sensei's secret history. Most excellent luck, eh?

I must commend this outline. Promise for Roleplay, for certain. Well wrought, though character development will yield more depth.

[GBE]

Hmmm... I run on a slightly different theorem as such, that is similar but not the same to your theorem. I have no right to say who's is right or wrong, but, I will follow the theorem that I first liked, which is obviously not yours lol....

The Warp/The Mobius Continuum Thismight interest you in a bit of light reading...

However, your character is certainly a very well planned out and thought up character. You've had me thinking wo would be perfect to challenge and who would be perfect to work with your character. The history and family ties is almost a favourite of mine you could say (there's a lot of characters in my repetoire, you've already had Swix's greeting - she knows all about this..).

Anyway, a very impressive two posts. It will certainly be interesting to roleplay with and against you. On that note, even though you're new here. Would you be interested in having a roleplay match-up against one such as myself...?

GBE out...

[Mr. Barret]

Well, I was planning on responding to this post last night, and I’d gotten a decent amount written, and then, for not apparent reason, my computer decides to spaz, and give me the BSOD (black screen of death). So, I lost about 30-40 minutes of typing. I’m quite disappointed about that, mainly because I was writing about a complicated subject (continuums and theorems), and I may not actually come to the same conclusions as I re-write this.

So, that being said, I will try to rewrite the thoughts I had last night, as my desire to try to reconcile the two ideas is still present.

I did read the entire thread that you linked to. It was quite a mind-numbing read, but I think that I understand the gist of it.

I’m not sure if this is necessary the correct place to post such a dissertation, but I’m going to anyway, and maybe it can get moved later.

I think I’ll first try to summarize your theory, and then try to mesh it with mine own. Let me know if I’m getting all this right.

The Mobius Continuum is a passageway that lies behind the fabric of the visible universe. It, in and of itself, does not have any inherent powers or energy. It is only a hallway.

(And now I feel like I’m missing a part of the train of thought that I took before. The idea is dancing right outside of my grasp)

Now, Zane attains a small dribble of energy into his system from somewhere (I’ll go into the idea of how/where later). He can then use that energy using the techniques that I’ve outlined in my bio. Fine, there’s no conflict there

How does he attain the energy though? One way he receives energy is directly from the source beyond the physical universe. I’ve stated that there is a disturbance in his genes that causes this pinprick of a whole. He can also absorb energy from beings, creatures, and objects on the physical realm.

I’d like to propose an idea about the origin of this energy, and the path that it takes from somewhere, to the physical realm. The Mobius Continuum contains doors to anywhere in the universe, the physical universe that is. You also alluded to the idea that it also led to dimensions of energy: of fire, for example. My proposal would stipulate that there is only one “dimension” of energy, instead of the multitudes that would be necessary for every kind of magic that exists. I would say that there is only one place that the Mobius Continuum can draw energy from, but this energy is manipulated in transit to be applicable to whatever kind of being is drawing the energy. Let’s take your example of Coal, the fire dragon. Coal would use whatever technique that he possesses, and would open a small rift/hole/portal in the physical universe and into the Mobius Continuum. This portal would lead to the dimension of energy. The energy would then be summoned to Coal’s location. “But wait,” you say, “he summoned fire, and not energy. How does that work?” Well, that’s where my idea comes out. I suggest that the energy can only leave the portal in the form that it was summoned for. In this example, the energy would have to leave the Mobius Continuum in the form of fire because that is the use that it was summoned for. I believe that I can believably make this assertation due to the massive amount of potential that pure energy has. I would pose that the Mobius Continuum has some of the effect on the raw energy to sculpt it into the proper form. I envision the energy as being something like Play-Doh, and the Mobius Continuum as something like a mold. The energy is called forth, but it must move through the preset hole that the summoner of the energy has created in the Mobius Continuum. If there is a star shaped hole, the energy, or “Play-Doh,” must exit as a star shaped thing.

I’m not sure if this idea meshes with your own concept of your theory, but I believe that it would not be offensive to you. Please, let me know what you think about this slight modification.

I would also like to take some time here to ramble further about Zane’s energy absorbing powers. (Actually, I think that I may have remembered the topic that I thought I’d forgotten)

Zane can extract energy from objects that have energy in the physical world. Such objects include plants, animals, people, and anything that has some kind of energy associated with it. Some things that you might not think of readily would be items such as hot water. There is energy stored in the hot water that makes the molecules in that water move faster than they would if the water were cold, or even further: frozen. An item such as a block of wood, on the other hand, would not be an appropriate item for Zane to be able to drain energy from. The block of wood does not have any energy associated with it, except for the energy that makes it a block of wood. I will say that Zane does not have the amount of strength, or the correct type, to break apart such bonds and draw energy from broken molecular or atomic bonds.

When energy is drawn from an object that is not associated with the Mobius Continuum, such as a plant, the Mobius Continuum is not affected, or touched in any way for the access to that energy. Let me expound on that idea a little more. Where does a plant get its energy from? I would pose that it gets energy from the sun, the soil, and the water that it is allowed access to. Are any of these other things associated with the Mobius Continuum? I would say no. Let us take the sun for example. I would propound that the sun does not access the Mobius Continuum either. The sun is like an engine. A certain amount of gasoline is poured into this engine, and the engine transforms that gasoline into whatever kind of energy that it was manufactured to do. When the gasoline is gone, the engine stops working. I see the sun in the same way. When it was created (I do not wish to get into a discussion about the creation of the universe here) it was provided with a certain amount of energy, and when that energy is gone, the sun will die and stop burning. If you have heard of the idea that the universe is like a clock, I would point to that example as a analogy of how to think of this. The universe was created as a clock and endowed with certain laws and a certain amount of energy for its total operation. Because of the laws of the conservation of mass and energy, this energy does not become depleted. This “clock” will continue to work and operate according to its laws for an indefinite amount of time. I do not know if the universe has a life span and will eventually end. ANYWAY, the absorption of energy from “natural” items does not affect the Mobius Continuum, only the physical world.

But what happens when Zane absorbs energy from a creature that in some way can access the Mobius Continuum? And honestly, I’m not sure what a good answer is to this question right now. Pardon me as I muse about this with my fingers. If, at the end of this post, I have not arrived at a definite conclusion, please give me your input about your own theories. ((I believe that I’ve come to an adequate explanation, but input would still be appreciated))

I suppose it would depend on whether the creature was more of a battery, or a conduit. Zane is a creature that is a combination of both. He has both a direct conduit to an energy source (the Continuum), and is a storage unit for said energy, until the time when he wishes to utilize the energy.

If Zane attaches, leech like fashion, to a creature that is a “battery,” then I suppose that the maximum amount of energy that he could obtain from that creature is the amount of energy that they possess in their storage at the time. That part is fairly clear to me.

The difficult part is understanding what would happen if Zane tried to absorb energy from a creature that could create a portal to the Mobius Continuum. Let us again take the example of Coal, the energy sucking, fire breathing dragon. If Zane were to absorb energy from Coal, would a link then be activated directly to the Mobius Continuum, and thus to the energy dimension? This would assume that Zane could cause such a channel to be created. And now, as I say that, I would state that Zane cannot create links to the Mobius Continuum through the medium of other creatures. That would make him too powerful a character, and the idea that I have of him would not allow him access to such manipulative powers.

So, Zane cannot cause other creatures to access the Mobius Continuum and thus take energy directly from the Continuum through the medium of said creature.

There is another case that I thought of as I was wresting with this. What if there is a creature that maintains a constant connection to the Continuum? Let us use the example of a god, such as Au’Mari. Such a creature, if I would deign to call him such, would be in constant communication, and connection with the Continuum. This is due to his constant need of energy to maintain his god-like powers (omniscience and such). Such a being, if Zane were able to access them for the purpose of draining energy from them, I believe, would allow Zane a direct tunnel to the Continuum’s energy store. The limit to this would be the fact that such a being would be able to, most likely, have the power to stop Zane from doing such a thing, if desired. I believe that that makes for a good limiting agent on such an ability. Also, Zane only has a certain amount of energy that he can store in his body anyway, and would soon become full from a direct link to an unlimited energy source.

To summarize: Zane attains a direct link to the Continuum’s energy if he is able to gain vampire privileges on a creature that constantly maintains a link to the Continuum.

*phew* That was an interesting chunk of text, wasn’t it? But, even so, I don’t think that it was altogether that confusing. And actually, I think that’s all I have to say about universal theories right now. (And as I said before, I’m not sure if this is the best place to post such a theory. Maybe I will re-post this in the thread you linked me to)


Anyway, give me your input in that. I’m referring to anyone here, but specifically GBE, as it is his theory that I’m talking about here.

And now, since I’m done with that mess, I will address the more personal comments that you made, GBE.

I’m pleased that you find my character so intriguing. I must say that I have not read much of your own writings, but from what I do know, you are an impressive writer and RP’er yourself. (The fact that you are the Sensei of the Chameleon style speaks volumes) And therefore, I thank you for your complimentary interest in me.

When you ask if I would, “Be interested in having a roleplay match-up against one such as myself...?” What do you mean? I would readily accept any kind of agreement that we could come to. But what are you thinking? A battle, or something more like a cooperative venture? I’m up for whatever.

And now, I think my fingers, and brain, are quite taxed, so I will close this massive mess, and wait and see what others have to say.

[GBE]

That was a very interesting read. I must say I can't find any particular fault with the combined theories there. I find myself agreeing with what you've written, and, severely hope, that if I had been in the right frame of mind, would have come to a similar solution.

As I said in my particular post, I don't hold my theory above anybody elses, but, it allows me to comprehend the usage of powers and abilities more coherently, an explanation as to how that energy is stored and used. It is, as you have noted, difficult to pin one theory for all kinds of powers and abilities, and I'm thinking right now of something telekinesis, although, I've just had the solution to that too (the energy is drawn directly from the Mobius Continuum to power the part of te mind that would manipulate objects.)
Ok, so, it fits most and not all. If people choose to run with this particular theory, then, that is their choice, if not, that too is their choice.

It's nice to have met someone who has put such theories together coherently. As for being Chameleon Sensei, I got that because I can switch between styles where necessary. I'd never boast I'm one of the top roleplayers around, but I'd like to imagine I'm somewhere around talented and inventive... lol...

As for the 'role-play match-up', I was initially thinking a challenge between you and I in the Challenge Arena. I just have to modiy a currently existing chracter to be less of a powerplayer, which I will post up shortly, along with a link to the original profile.
But, it would be interesting roleplaying with you seriously in a roleplay of some kind. I'm just currently stretched for inspiration - I'm having a major lack of it at the moment...

[Mr. Barret]

I'm pleased that you find my ramblings to match up with your own theory quite nicely. I believe that I won't have to specifically use the stated theories much in my day to day role playing, but it is nice to have some of the complicated theory stuff there, in case you want to refer to it.

Let me know (PM or whatever) when you decide upon something for us to collaborate on. I'm busy enough with the current things that I've claimed responsibility for, that I don't think that I will initiate anything right now, but I would definately like to work with you on something.

Looking forward to seeing you around,

P.S. Do you think I should post any of this in the Underground Bunker? Either under the original "warp" thread, or under my own subject? I think I might, but I want to get some opinion on whether anyone else thinks so.

[Mr. Barret]

yeah, so this is a double post. This is my profile, I can do that.

These are some things that I'd like to add to my profile. They're just some specific additions to Zane's energy manipulation powers. I think my descriptions are pretty decent, but if anyone is confused by them, please tell me, and I will try to expound upon my subject matter and erase your confusion.

-Control of biological objects (plants)
–Utilize energy infused in plant to spur growth and other biological functions. Let the plant do what it would do normally, but in the specific fashion that I want it to.
–EX: Zane gives off energy into an ivy bush and causes it to grow to twice its former size
–cause thorns to grow, leaves to sprout, flowers to bloom, needles to elongate, sap to secrete, fluids to develop (poison ivy), fruit to mature, roots to burrow, branches to lengthen, etc, etc

Consciousness transference
–Due to Zane’s link with the Continuum, he has the ability to move his consciousness into the energy provided by the Continuum.
–Zane can sense his energy when he has transferred it to another object. He can also control the energy when transferred to an inanimate object. For the consciousness transfer, Zane attaches some of his spirit to the departing energy. The transference can be the total consciousness or only limited parts.

Moldable energy
–Energy is emitted in the same manner as the laser beams, but is not powered forward in the same fashion. Instead of being rocketed toward a target, energy is released and crafted with the mind into defined, or undefined shapes. Such shapes can then be manipulated by the mind that formed them and utilized like telekinetic clay. Such energy can be either volitile, or stable, depending on the motives of the manipulator. Stable energy can be touched easily by the hands and does not cause damage in any fashion other than that of a normal, conventional weapon. Unstable energy can be compared to plasma. It cuts like a lightsaber and it is highly suggested that you don't touch it.


Zane's not god-like yet, but if I keep this up, he will be soon.

Double posts are only bad form in RP's and standard threads, where you could have easily edited your previous post and the added content is recent and short. If you're adding a large section, or adding to a much older post, or posting in a Profile/Amphitheater story/Bunker thread, there's no need to avoid double or more posts in a row.

Truly, double posting is only frowned upon in the rare case when someone adds one additional line or so with a new post, when they could have saved much space by editing their first.

Ahem. Apologies for the ramble. Just wanted to say you're no where near transgression. I find your theory most interesting, since it's somewhat related to my own. I will spare you the long bio, but Embri is linked to and part of the lifeforce/energy/mana/whatever you want to call it for it has a thousand different names. Any additions to our world are welcome, no need to worry if they are contradictory.

The Dojo is a world of impossibilities and contradictions. It is best described as "abiding for the moment to the will of the majority" - there are no untrue realities, only prevalent and recessive.

Thank you for the double posting etiquette. It was actually quite interesting to see what you thought about that. I've never seen what the big deal about double posting is, but when it is just another additional line that could have been added to the previous post, I can understand the faux pas in the logic.

On the subject of your other topic, do you have your own theory of the universe posted anywhere? I looked through Embri's bio again, but I did not find it there. Is it in the underground bunker anywhere?

I like reading other's views on this fictional universe of ours, especially after GBE gave me the invite to read his Mobius theory.

While the Dojo may be a world of contradictions, I find that I am not a person that likes contraditions. I would like to read your own theory just to see if it makes sense with mine own (and GBE, who I stole my combined theorem from). If you have it posted somewhere, I'd like to read it. That is, when I've finished with reading through the Forum Wars (oh, my, gosh, what a thread. . . long . . . )

anyway, I'll be going to where I should be posting right now: in the challenge arena
