@DYBAD Damn, I didn't know Absorbing Replication was that powerful! Your explanation is wonderful, my friend! I had no idea that combining those two together makes for a versatile powerset and an eternal opportunity to learn and grow! Your character sounds fascinating! I'd love to hear more about them!

@DYBAD Unfortunately so, but I've been putting my own twists on Omnipotence to make it more interesting to me. Like Author Authority comes with depressing loneliness and a disconnect from everything. With Autopotence, since you can do literally everything, what is there left to do? Arcanepotence has what I mentioned before, which is the potential to destroy or harm something because of feeling an intense emotion like anger or bloodlust. I've been trying to find something that is more or less all-powerful that speaks to me on a personal level. Like, for example, Fictional Lordship. If you give this power to a nerd, you can bet your ass that they'll find a way to become Omnipotent through it! XD

Thank you very much ^ ^

Absorbing Replication does most of the heavy lifting, but without the perfect transportation and limitless travel offered by Planeswalking, your progress would be far slower and your long-term options much more restricted, which is really bad when you live forever. Together though, they complete each other just perfectly, forming a combo that I have come to see as the Holy Grail of superpowers XD

I would certainly love to talk about the character if you're interested :) I haven't really updated the sheet in over a year now (despite having quite a few reworks on the way), and I sense an opportunity to replenish my spirit and finally get things done ^ ^

I hadn't thought about Author Authority's downsides due to the sheer power-level and transcendence of the power drawing all the attention (one of the few powers making you effectively Omnipotent in a very relatable way), but it's true that the immeasurable gap between you and everyone else may eventually be experienced as a great loneliness if you're not really into godhood and desire more genuine/horizontal relationships.

I suppose you could just "write it off" from your mind and never be bothered again, but it's the kind of transcendent shortcut that we as humans cannot empathize with, making it not that much of a solution.

Fictional Lordship definitely sounds like immense fun, in an even more relatable way than Autority Authority, since it is centered on the perspective of readers rather than writers, capitalizing on the myriad fictional wonders already created instead of having to create it all yourself ^ ^

Couldn't Arcanepotence fix all the damage caused during emotional powers as soon as you calm down and get a hold of yourself ? Though it wouldn't change the fact that it did happen, and being very emotionally inclined I imagine the user would carry a real guilt for having failed/hurt their creations. They may allow them to remember what happened as penance for the wrongs done, and perhaps even submit to the judgment of their creations, accepting their sentence with great dignity and humility, walking a more human path from there on and learning to be a better person, both for their sake and their creations'.

Man, I sense great storytelling potential here ^ ^

@DYBAD Huh. I've never thought of Absorbing Replication and Planeswalking as the perfect combination, but you've convinced me, my friend! The powers seem to synergize pretty well from how you've described them to me. Planeswalking adds infinite possibilities to increase the efficiency and potency of Absorbing Replication. After all, there's only so much you can absorb and replicate in one universe. Now, you have untold planes and realms to explore and grow your power! Yeah, I'd love to hear more about your character! Tell me everything. 😀

In regards to your second post, all of those powers can easily overcome such "limitations", because they are Omnipotent, but still. If you look hard enough, most forms of Omnipotence have some downside(s) to them. Fictional Lordship is quite fun to think about, especially if you love fiction! May I ask how does Arcanepotence have great storytelling potential? You've piqued my interest, especially since I'm trying to make my character's rise to Omnipotence compelling! 😁

It's a deal then ^ ^ It would be best to discuss the character on the sheet's comment section though, so I may keep track of the ideas shared and potentially use them for future updates (many of them were the direct result of this brainstorming approach).

All downsides and imitations can indeed be handwaved away, but this easy shortcut tends to nullify any narrative dynamic. As explained above (in the second paragraph of my second post about Arcanepotence), I imagine some users with both high emotions (prone to cause trouble) and high moral standards (big on responsibility) would prefer to own up to their mistakes rather than shrug them away and go on as normal, and it is this humble approach of almighty power centered on empathy and accountability that could be a fertile ground for compelling stories, by creating a more genuine and balanced relationship between the user and the world's inhabitants.

I understand, and it sounds like an excellent idea! Perhaps I should do it for Zander sometime! What if the person with Arcanepotence was once a human who achieved Omnipotence? I like the idea of an Omnipotent Being trying to be responsible by learning to control its emotions and owning up to its mistakes.

I definitely recommand creating a character sheet for him too, it's a very practical and motivating way to shape the character, their capabilities and narrative evolution, with a direct connection to the SPW and its wealth of supernatural inspirations so you may better illustrate what they can do and how, with an easy access for potential readers and their valuable feedbacks.

Have fun ! And feel free to ask if you need anything, after spending so much time on mine I probably have most of the answers ^ ^

@DYBAD Thank you, my friend! May I ask how do you create a character sheet on here?

Character Sheets are simply blogs that were categorized accordingly for clarity and recognition, so the format is totally free and you can write them however you want ^ ^

The coding of the SPW has changed quite a bit since my time though, so I can't offer much help with the infoboxes (the part at the beginning of the sheets with pictures and key personal informations).

Best ask some active contributors on the Wiki, since the infoboxes for characters were originally derived from those used for power pages, they should be able to show you the ropes so you may soon create your own custom version.
