| Question | — |
What would be the best power(s) for someone with size growing powers I had an idea for a character that has the power to alter his size drastically, being able to grow up to approximately 120 ft tall. In addition he can alter his density to become virtually immune to bullets and ballistic weapons or become lighter and move faster, as well generate chemicals to either ... (more) |

Ok so basically again it wouldn't really work that well ok, yeah I'm mainly just asking what happens when an object emits high frequency vibrations underwater since I know you can't exactly shake water and I looked online but found no real answers since everyone seems to say different things. Also I ... (more) |

| Question | — |
If someone had vibration based superpowers how would their powers react underwater I had an idea for a character who can emit very powerful vibrations. As I thought about the possibility of how this character's vibration powers would work I eventually started to wonder how would affect water let alone react while underwater. For a better idea let's say he's submerged in either a bo... (more) |

Ok so it's not just a simple matter of having vibrations hit a rock at certain frequencies but also a matter of mass of the rock in question and the rock won't be able to process the vibrations in any other way other than being heated up (I know I'm probably butchering what your saying but still). Al... (more) |

| Question | — |
How many megahertz of vibrations would it take to Shatter solid rock Backstory: I had an idea of someone who can generate powerful vibrations that can either be used to amplify physical attacks or fire these vibrations in a direct oscillating stream for ranged attacks. In addition he has superhuman durability so his own vibrations don't kill him, but his main trait... (more) |

Hm alright yeah I think I can see that, yeah thank you that was very useful and informative. So basically they could theoretically work so long as the person uses them "correctly" for a lack of better words. Like if they want to go a little bit fast and determine grab they adjust and when they want t... (more) |

| Question | — |
Could a winged humanoid with two sets of wing types (one set on the back and one set on the arms) function properly So, I've been experimenting with this idea of someone with the power of winged flight. The details about said character I haven't fully figured out and might not make. That said, I have a basic idea on the main attributes of the character, which is winged flight. The concept is that the character wou... (more) |

@#8176 you do have a point, yes sites like these should be free of judgement and sometimes a story having a darker grittier tone might be the purpose to not only hit readers down to their core and even expose them to certain subjects that probably should be discussed and if a question is uncomfortabl...

Hm ok so basically it's just a touchy subject, ok fair enough, alright and yeah I'll take in the advice that about modifying the title like "in science fiction setting". I am aware that even slavery in most nations is illegal, it hasn't stopped people from continuing to do it and I understand that as... (more) |

Hm ok fair enough. Honestly this why I like this site more than stack exchange because over there I would've had my question shut down almost right away but on this it's a lot more liberating and creatively open, in anycase I will look into it and then go from there, like I said I'm just a nerd who h...

Exactly, now given in my story because they were literally raised from birth in the facility and were mentality conditioned to the point where they don't know right from wrong, not even knowing that the experiments done to them were actually pretty evil. The ones who did especially get tired of the e... (more) |

Plus I wanted to do a storyline where some of the subjects rebel and escape, while a vast majority are tok indoctrinated to join, so that's part of the reason why I rather keep it all more psychological than anything else (more) |

Hm not a terrible idea especially since I already put it where they have these specialized implants in their brains that allow for Neuro-telecommunications between each other for faster and silent communication, I don't know if there's an equivalent to this but I wanna say it's kind like codecs from ...

Ok so even though the question itself isn't terrible per say, it's not only a mess but also isn't ok because it's more of a real world issue..so should I make changes to it or just delete altogether, honestly I was mostly just asking out of genuine nerdy curiosity, especially since I recently rewatch...

Is it possible to indoctrinate child soldiers to the point of being robotic in science fiction setting Backstory: So I had an idea where there's this secret society type organization with a specialized super-powered group to deal with serious and major threats. After something of a civil war breaks out with the small group the organization decides to greenlight a secret project to breed soldiers me... (more) |

Ok thanks for the info I appreciate it. Yeah I am really enjoying this site so I would that this doesn't happen more frequently especially since it might drive off people and this site is way too enjoyable to let that happen so hopefully something gets figured out (more) |

Ok fair enough, yeah my attitude was just that after centuries of being around and having so many members eventually there's gonna be different telling of how things started and even when there's official documentation it sometimes either gets questioned or even gets lost so with so many people havin...

Why was the codidact proposals down all day I tried to post a question on worldbuilding and after I found I wasn't able to get into the site. I kept getting redirected to page telling me that codidact proposals was unavailable and it even told me that the site itself was the issue. It was like that most of the day and I don't know if anyone el... (more) |

Hmm ok so in other words it would be fine to leave where the people of the organization just don't remember their origins and probably make more sense since it's easier to rationalize. Also I guess I would have to compare it to kind of like a secret society where there's millions of people involved f... (more) |

| Question | — |
Would it make sense for an organization that has existed for centuries not remember its own origins Backstory: In my story there's this organization that is kind like of movie version of Men in Black combined with the Kingsmen where they hide in the shadows and maintain order in the world. Now they don't really "rule" the per say like illuminate or anything like that, but rather "guide it" so as... (more) |

@#85389 hm yeah makes sense since this guy is highly trained and will likely take any advantage he can in order to win this fight, plus there are few thing I didn't mention mostly because it wasn't relevant to the question

(Continue) Plus I can add it where he has built in traps like bear traps or a harpoon gun that he can deploy and use when his target is either distracted or off guard and can use these to slow him down or incapacitate him altogether. Or even put it where the traps are on him and he uses them when his... (more) |

Not a terrible idea but parts of that wouldn't work too well since my idea was that he would go directly to fight the guy and he has no money since being raised in a lab he has no concept of monetary gain so the idea of hiring mercenaries is out. That said you're definitely onto something since I alr... (more) |
