Lower than that (except for Rhys, he can take a lightning strike depending on the strength of the discharge), but still pretty high.


They can die, but that’s all I’m saying for now.

And Wildy’s last words would probably be something about alcohol or sex.

Maybe both.

Yeah saw it so my next question is how detailed is the power gonna be when ever we use it?

Is it simple like You wrap them up in darkness and knock them out in seconds or You turn around and see a incoming sword inches away from your face though it doesn’t get any closer than that due to your shadow instinctively coiling itself around the blade though before it can wrap around the attacker’s arm he releases his weapon and dashes back while flinging five knives which is deflected by the assassins’s sword which your shadow decided to use before handing you the blade.

Also can we combine powers together for some crazy combos like Rhys channeling some of his electricity through our shadow to fry a persons internal organs due to the suit they are wearing absorbing electricity but not being able to stop a shadow piercing their lung.

That’s entirely dependent on your stats.

Awesome i can’t wait to play! though can we team up with our allies to overcome powerful enemies or situations like crow increasing the hardness of a pillar which allows the player to use that as makeshift baseball bat or launch it at a blimp

I’m looking forward to this!

Sounds very, very interesting. That tidbit of world-building you gave us tells me this is gonna be a well-thought, well-crafted work. Looking forward to trying it out!

So, @Ylva, do you plan on adding a variety of personalities for the MC or are you more focused on the story itself? You know, giving a wide range of outcomes depending on our choices and such :thinking:

So…i presume the power of the MC will be Umbrakinesis?

Who knows? I sure don’t. :slightly_smiling_face:


The other characters’ responses will be based on your dialogue responses and actions; there are no default personalities to choose from. I plan to have a wide range of different responses for you to choose from during dialogue sections.

Grr… looks like I’ll have to whip Psyche into shape… combined with Wildcard.

At the end of the day only one truth will prevail.


How does this work? Can she make my reflection die and kill me or something? Or is it just a simple mirror trick :laughing:

Does that include a stylish black trench coat?


Mirror tricks, e.g. altering her reflection or making it appear in an object even though it shouldn’t.

With a name like Bloody Mary I’d have thought her powers came out of a horror movie, shame on her, teasing everyone with a name like that :blush:

It depends. If the case is minor I put it on and act disproportionately violent to the criminal. And don’t forget the mandatory cigar and black and white filter.

If it’s major I get a magnifying glass, brown clothes, and I just shine bright lights in the perp’s eyes until they confess or go blind. And that’s when the singing starts.

evil laugh
Oh, just you wait for it.

Um… um… let me guess, her reflection messes with her all the time?

So why does she have red eyes? Albinism? Powers? A break from reality because the author thought it looked cool?

And I’m guessing zero’s white eyes are from power?

Yes. It drives her nuts.

The last two. Her eyes used to be brown until her powers first appeared.

Zero’s eyes are indeed white from power.

I see. Another question, did you base the MC’s powers from any characters out there with such ability?
