Emphasis on "very basic." We don't know a lot and we're not that good of teachers.

August
The last month before college was productive. You discovered a newfound ability: Liquification. It doesn't always work when you want it to, though, you can't liquify your whole self at once, and you've sometimes found yourself turning mushy when you're stressed or in danger. A bit useful in combat, but not much (what with the uncertainty), and you've had a couple of scares when you almost revealed your newest set of powers.
Still, you managed to get through. You started hanging out with the boxing people, skipping either a swimming day or a workout day. This has many perks. One, you hang out with a bunch of new friends. You start going out with one of them, Thurman Dixon, who has a variety of powers. Super strength, toughness, a bit of a healing factor, some super reflexes, and the ability to heal others a little bit. He's thinking of becoming a superhero, but he can't think of a good name. (He'd go into medicine, but doesn't want to waste time and money on a medical degree when he can just touch the guy and heal him. He's also not interested in his parents' suggestion of becoming a clergyman.) You go out with him for pretty much the whole month, enjoying his company. You make out a lot, so as to maximize the power gain from him. Also, he's nice.
In addition to watching, you box a little. Thurman shows you how, and in this way discovers your healing factor. By this point, people who know you have pretty much have accepted you as a late-blooming super; it's a perfectly acceptable excuse. Well, once he feels you're ready he suggests you spend a few rounds in the ring. Your powers make up for your lack of experience, thankfully. About a week after your first boxing match, your father finds out somehow and you're forbidden from going back to the group, but you picked up a couple useful powers. Well, technically one (flight, not that you know why that guy was boxing), but a couple of other powers were enhanced a bit.
Your summer of working out is paying off. Your body is still pretty slim, possibly because your healing factor won't allow big changes to your physique; however, you think you're around the peak of human strength given that limit, even without your super strength. Your endurance is also rather excellent. Excellent.
It's pretty much time to head out to college. Any last-minute preparations to make?

Roll To Dodge / Re: THE RETURN OF YOU ALWAYS ROLL FIVE. 101% QUOTE PYRAMID FREE
« on: December 31, 2012, 06:10:22 pm »Because that decides the definition of a species. If we take, say, a several Deinonychus antirrhopus and a few housecats, then by your definition only the housecats would be a species, since only they could possibly procreate due to not being dead. If you say that the Deinonychus antirrhopus are a species, then you can't summon a species, since in that case a species is a taxonomical concept and thus not actually summonable due to the non-physical nature of concepts.That's one definition of a species, but most include provisions for extinct species.
Of course, species defined in the past have a little problem called evolution. Just look at any anthropological debate--individuals don't all fit neatly into Australopithecus or Homo, or into species within those genuses, because there aren't strong differences. If there were, there would be an individual Australopithecus who gave birth to a whole separate genus, which is ludicrous. TL;DR: Classical concepts of taxonomy don't work well on evolutionary timescales.

What HAS he been given? An arm, a foot, and an eye, but he's not a drake anymore. That's like turning from a human to a monkey or something, to him. And this guy is kinda being a jerk--he won't answer a question! It's a simple yes-or-no question, which he answers with a vague answer which implies yes, but never says it, suggesting that he is trying to trick my character. The further lack of an answer only confirms it.

« on: December 31, 2012, 06:00:12 pm »Um...I suppose so. Why?The argument of summoning an entire species doesn't make any sense, though.Is an extinct species also nonexistent?
1. You can summon an entire species. Just summon every member of that species.
2. No one was talking about summoning species.
There has to be sense for an exchange to be equal. Otherwise, the best analogy is sying that 0/0=5.

Accept Foghorn's offer, but ask for Alice to stick with us until the attack at least. We could use her covering us.
Sharpen our skills with earth manipulation and in combat with the spear, sparring and creating some sort of moat, both just in case.
And yes, family time.

« on: December 31, 2012, 05:53:37 pm »Oh, sure. But then, there's a lot more adventurers than shopkeepers supplying them.Used reasonably, powerful shopkeeps make sense. Former adventurers probably have lots of capital, especially in the form of wares; and magic items can do a lot. Of course, the way described isn't reasonable.It would make sense if the adventurer was an investor, not a shopkeeper. One would think they would have better things to do with their lives than sit around in a store all day. I'd understand one or two adventurer shopkeepers, but those would need actual in-game reasoning. It would take a very specific kind of retired adventurer to be content with running a store all day.
