Question What would be a good way to counter someone with supernatural fire powers and close quarter weapons?
Backstory I had an idea of a large project to breed specialized soldiers who will be used to fight and kill members of a story-specific group known for being super powered. Theses soldiers are bred in a lab from the genes of many of the members of the super-powered group with one being the offspri...

Comment Post #292558 Ok yeah I guess I did miss your point but yeah no I will keep in consideration, in fact I may reserve it for another character that isn't psionic since it does have some horror level potential as well if not at least psychedelic possibilities.

Comment Post #292558 I have considered having a person or two be slight exceptions with emphasis that it's not very normal, with one character can access his powers strictly through negative emotions (anger, sadness, etc) but when let's loose his power he loses a bit of cognitive thinking since he's pretty good and angry...

Comment Post #292558 Hmm not a terrible idea though I don't about making them able to take it that far. I'm not completely disregarding though since there is potential there, since one rule I have is the energy has to make direct contact with whatever it affects so if the electricity is in a light bulb the user will have...

Comment Post #292556 Yeah see I'm always hearing the term tangible and intangible but seems like no one can actually agree what those terms mean. As far as using physics the idea is that it's a science no one truly understands, kind of like how in real life there's areas of science that gets debated to death. I'm mostly ...

Comment Post #292568 So basically just say that whole tangible/intangible thing is just an oversimplification and it's amounts to Maas with electricity at least having some but light not having any..that actually works. Plus in story I want to put it where it's one of those things that no one truly understands because it...

Comment Post #292461 Right ok that's interesting and useful too, plus I was thinking that this also helps with greater lung capacity meaning that he can do all sorts of stuff for longer periods of time simply because he can take in more oxygen than any other life form. I'm still tinkering though but that will be useful i...

Question Would it make sense for an entity who can control tangible and/or intangible materials be able to manipulate electricity but not light?
I have this idea about people with "Psionic" power. Psionics in my story are primarily beings able to emit and/or manipulate a special energy field from within that takes physical form. They can extend it outward to pick up various materials like picking it up with their own hands with approximately ...

Comment Post #292461 I was honestly thinking like somewhere on the upper back like a whale, and yeah I acknowledge it's likely not too plausible but completely impossible, so the question is I that would be necessary or even affective or not, and so far its looking like it's not

Comment Post #292476 Ok thats something to consider, my thing is I wanted to do something like shin godzilla where I starts off as regular fire and then when mixed with oxygen turn into an oxy-acetelyne stream, kind of like welding

Comment Post #292461 Hm ok yeah that makes sense, plus I forgot to mention it in my edit but two other ideas I had other than the heat not actually affecting his breathing or at least just holds his breathe. One was where he has extra nostrils on his back to take in oxygen from behind him while he's burning oxygen in fro...

Comment Post #292438 Yeah I moved this question from stack exchange and I edited it because I noticed some stuff was irrelevant and plus it was too long, but to answer your question yes he is fire resistant and to that extent has high body temperature regulation, between his having specialized platelets, dense muscles th...

Comment Post #292438 Yeah honestly thanks for the recommendation the site actually walked me through how they want to you kind of do things instead of assuming I know and it looks like the people running this site have the common sense to know that subjects like worldbuilding don't have definitive answer like math or sci...

Question What would be the best way to breathe for a creature that shoots fire from its mouth?
I've had an idea where there's this humanoid based life-form that has no real origin other than being found on some remote island. Kind of like skull island and seems be a complete anomaly in the natural world, supposedly being the only one of his kind. Among his traits is that through complex sy...
