7/10, too sad, obv Hamlet ripoff, also giving yours a lower rating makes mine look better
U MEAN ITS CALLED INSPRATON
But seriously, I wasn't thinking about Hamlet at all when I was writing this. I barely even know Hamlet's plot. There's a guy who kills himself or something after killing another guy.
You forgot about the skull bit. That's like the most important part. :v
Except not really. I don't think. Maybe. Braining is hard.
Two quick questions. One: Are you serious? Two: Would you be interested in a summary of Hamlet?
The answer to both of those questions is a resounding 'Not in the slightest, dragon-amigo.'
I'm aware that Yorick's skull doesn't really have much plot significance in Hamlet other than giving Hamlet a chance to wax philosophical (I really love using this phrase, by the way (it makes my soul sing :D )) about death and all that fun stuff.
I was just saying that because going from the way Hamlet is portrayed, it seems that a ton of silly people seem to think it's that important.

For more info on my lack of sincerity, highlightificate my post.
It was vague, open to interpretation.

"YIELD?!" Shkasha demanded of Dirus.

Web M'ber if he's still trying to dropkick me. Otherwise just heal myself.
"Dammit, Shakasha, why are you trying to kill allies?"

"I just... d-d-don't w-want t-t-to be bullied... a-a-anymore..." Selina seems to be starting to calm down though.
"I'll take care of it. Where are the bullies?"
<Um...you're not going to hurt them, are you?>
"Not permanently."

((Wut mate. A random guy couldn't beat up Gandalf because Gandalf doesn't exist. If he did, then magic would, and he'd probably win.))
((I am basing it off the assumption that Gandalf is transported from his universe to ours, without any of the laws of our universe changing.))
((So our universe stays the same, sans the fact that inter-universe travel now exist and works perfectly? Hmm. Plus, Gandalf always has his magic powers, that's not only Canon, but also adhering to the Rule of Cool.))
((Magic cannot exist in our world. Therefore, Gandalf cannot have magic in our world.
The metaphor works this way because piecewise wouldn't let something so logic-ignoring into his game.))

((I can enter an alternate dimension with the press of a button, where space is compressed. The Armory Master can create matter at will. Look at the two manipufails and tell me we did not do horrible things to physics. And Xantalos isn't quite right in his description. It's more of the tech it's encountering is either meant for the suit, or close enough it can adapt.))
((Simply put: The "alternate dimension" seems like it could simply be rotating into some other orientation. I have never seen proof of the AM doing so and hence cannot comment on what method was probably used. Ice-9 was simply turning way too many things down to absolute 0. And in that case, it can't do anything like what he implied.))

((That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. What are the high ends? How much fine control? Can I pick things up with it/how much can I pick up and with how much control? Can I cause it to vibrate accurately enough to make sound? Range on the Aerovoyance? Am I over thinking this?))

((Reports indicate yes.))
I had honestly not considered that last night and wish I had given it more thought.

Well, as it so happens, that might have been intentional to my sleepy mind. Your rolling included:
"You start off a little weaker.  You get stronger at set intervals, as you find out the nuances of your power.  You wind up a lot stronger than most (second only to the big monsters and some second-triggers)."
So yeah, you are potentially dangerous...but as of yet, you haven't figured out how to best use it. It does not help that:
"Your power changes over time, often at unpredictable moments, forcing you to adapt and recalibrate.  You’d think this would be a good thing, but really, it’s not working out that way."
Which I don't know how it works.

Aerokinesis is actually pretty useful if you think about it and use it right. Flight, ad hoc barriers, admittedly weak blasts...it all depends on what you try to use it for. And aerovoyance (that air-sensing ability) is pretty useful. You know how Taylor can see and feel through her bugs? It's even better than that.
((Hell, it's basically an excuse to bypass Manton! Just grab hold of the air in people's lungs and hold it there/pull!))
I would count the air in the lungs as the same as the blood in the  heart: "It's still in the body, Manton effect still applies, try again."

((you mean like how a universal manipulator wouldn't work in NYC either? there is stuff in ER that breaks physics just as badly or worse than Samus's suit.))
((Not if Xantalos's description of it is accurate.))

((If they literally invented everything, they would have invented something that reminded them to breed, and something to breed for them, and true immortality so survival of the species would not require breathing. and an immovable object, and an unstoppable force. And of course, those last two cannot coexist. Needless to say, once you apply logic and stuff it all starts to break down.

They also would have invented perpetual motion machines, guns that fire bullets faster than the speed of light, matter-summoning devices, spaceships that can survive going through a black hole, intelligent politicians, and a version of Twilight which doesn't suck, which are pretty major impossibilities. Especially the last two.))

((Any tech it finds. Besides, given that the ER-verse loosely operates by the real laws of physics and logic, sooner or later it would run out of space, overheat, and/or find two techs that clashed. And if it doesn't, I want my medigun!

And as for Contessa...Contessa's fights are kinda boring when she is only a little worse than her opponents igoring her power. When her opponents have many more numbers, or tech, or something though...It's kinda like how a Neo vs. Contessa fight would be neat, or one between Contessa and Agent Texas from Red Versus Blue, or Tex v. Agent Smith...or Contessa v. Miyamoto vs. Neo vs. Smith vs. Superman vs. Tex vs. the tarrasque...))
