DPS. all you bring is Pain and we love it nom nom

hehehe you know it

support

: D!

i hope so

I'm going to say combine DPS and support somehow, maybe Symmetra-style?

oooh now that idea i like

Come do area-of-effect/territory control style support with me, we can set up Battlefield Damage Hell for the other team. : D

fuck yes, we can drink the beverages of our choice while they run into the murder zone and scream

Yesss. Teammate comes in? Awww, hey buddy, have some heals. Enemy wanders in? WELCOME TO THE DEATH ZONE.

hell yeah. heals and/or buffs

Maybe I can do heals and you can do buffs? Team effort. : D

: D now that i like the sound of

not only can i damage, i can make other people damage better. that's 37% more damage per damage

Friendship is beautiful, Lint.

all's fair in LOVE and war

(Have to admit, I secretly like the idea of getting to heal people because I'm a med student and the idea of fixing them up without all the messy bits is deeply appealing some days. But I also like the idea of being able to do some damage, hence 'aggressive support character'.)

(healing magic would be so useful hhh)

(although some medical knowledge would probably be required so as to avoid like. highly aggressive tumors or something
...there's your lethality)

(''sola dosis facit venenum'')

( : D exactly so. A Gift, of one kind or another)

(So say it's something that's either really potent at healing or really toxic, depending on how you apply it. Maybe some kind of plant mage/mad botanist deal, that could be fuuun.)

( : D depends on the form the magic takes. using various magic plants sounds hella cool. a walking pharmacy )

(like a more supernatural version of things like digitalin)

(Exactly. Like if Poison Ivy stuck with being a doctor instead of a supervillain, most of the time.)

What do you think you'd want your power set to be, if I'm going with, like, scarily-applied life magic stuff?

hmmmm.
i do like the idea of being able to alter the environment
hello kiddies, the floor is now lava

that wall? has spikes on it. that patch of ground? slippery

two and two make four with that one

Ooh, could explain why we get to be a team: floramancy + geomancy = winning combination.

heck yes

i can get your plants places they might not have been able to go

Your buffs could be some sort of super mineral boost maybe? "Remember, kids: take your vitamins so you can crush your enemies."

: D or or, maybe. stone armor

Yesss. So much fun. : D

we'd be unstoppable, you and i

Nowhere on the ground is safe, and if you can't fly faster than these carnivorous vines can grow then the sky isn't either.

...I think this meme just turned into us making self-insert Overwatch characters or possibly supervillains, and I love that. : D

: D shit, let's be villains

Yaaaay. : D

we need a cool supervillain team name

(also pfft i just realised there's a bit of a Te Fiti/Te Ka thing going on)

Hm, those are always tough... I think we could be the fun kind of villains, the quirky ones who had probably some sympathetic motives and wind up turning to the heroes side about middle-to-end of season one.

Like, we just kind of gradually ditch the whole bad guy thing and wind up as their weird new friends.

(Ooh, even better. Any excuse to hum Disney soundtracks during battle is a good excuse.)

perfect, I love that trope. we tend to recurr whenever some relatively lighthearted stuff needs to be thwarted as the series gets gradually darker

(getting a patch of ground to follow us with a boom box on it would be child's play)

what would our motives be.... some attempt at helping people that winded up, well, with massive property damage?

Maybe, yeah. Could be some Robin Hood style stuff, too: oh no, this rich asshole who keeps trying to profit off exploiting the disadvantaged keeps having sudden accidents with his property... how unfortunate...

(Like, I'm not saying this version of you would be responsible for that sinkhole that opened up outside Mar-a-Largo, I'm just saying I wouldn't rule it out.)

(That does sound like something I'd do given the opportunity...)

started out as a robin hood thing and then got rapidly out of hand. esp since our powers would be area effect

like. the heady realisation that no one could stop us kind of got to our heads a little

Open up a sinkhole, suck in a Porsche or two, sell them on the black market and donate the money to charity. Totally reasonable plan.

i know right? no downside! apart from pesky heroes

Like, good intentions but we kinda didn't think this through.

nnnnnnope

What comes to mind for me is support, with an emphasis on speed? Like. You get in and out quickly with whatever people need.

for me for you*

do you think we did any... heists?

ooooooh i like that

kind of like an Ana thing? shoot and move on?

Ooh, probably. Could also throw in some environmentalist stuff, since the powerset lends itself pretty well to it. "Okay, fuck it, I have had it with all this damn wasteful real estate development. I'm gonna tear down this stupid condo and put in new trees."

fruit trees do fruit trees

Yeah, kind of like that! With the distance it would work out really well too.

Maybe you can skate around on dust or something, too. Ooh, or levitating rock skateboard. : D

: D sick. i am the helper sniper. the support in the night. the one hit wonder. i aid and then melt into the shadows leaving people to wonder... who was that?
I love the idea of helping people at range tbh

and oooh like
i could surf on liquefaction

or shoot geomagnetism would levitate a rock skateboard if you think in Comic Book Science

zoom in, do the thing, zoom out

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we went full-on Comic Book Science a while back here.

and i love it

(Going to bed now but this is still great.)

D have a good sleep! Indeed)

thanks plurk
