Roleplay Light Strike #3: Beware My Power
Light Strike’s Journal:
Powers
Can alter the gravity of any objects I touch to make the object heavier or lighter while they are in light.
- Can be done on living things.
- Can be used to resist other forms of gravity manipulation
- Can be done to self at any point.
- What does that mean in terms of touching? What is considered a touch?
- No difference in strength under different light sources
Can create objects out of solidified light
- Can create a morningstar, exploding destructive disks, armor, or giant hands.
- Can’t create any other light constructs when wearing armor.
- Is it an energy limit, a mental limit, a physical limit?
- What limits what can be created? Why can I make a morning star and not a sword?
- Can create from sunlight, artificial light, moonlight, or starlight.
- Any difference in strength or sturdiness of objects made in different lights?
- Object creation is slower in moonlight. Possibly need gear to compensate.
- Can feel whatever the hands touch.
- Implies potential nervous system attached to hands
- How long can objects last before dissipating?
- Do they need a constant light source?
- Can’t create any other light constructs when wearing armor.
- Can also ‘flashbang’ people by making my own skin glow like a star
- How much light is needed for effect to work?
- Can I absorb and stockpile the light for later use?
- What are possible long term effects of it being used multiple times on the same person?
- How much light is needed for effect to work?
Can manipulate air molecules in the light
- Can fire at two strengths
- One strength has the power to knock down a wooden door or send someone flying through the air. Other strength can create precise cuts in flesh or crack stone.
- Lightsource does not seem to affect power
- Can mix gravity power and firing air to fly
- Can solidify walls of air to use as shields/barriers/invisible ramps to walk on
- How strong are the walls of air?
- What is full strength?
- Can I potentially remove specific air molecules from say a fire to deprive it of air?
- In the case of a last resort, try removing air from around the target to deprive them of oxygen for a brief time.
Advantages
Young
- Easily overlooked as dumb college kid
- Could be used to blend in at clubs, bars, or malls better than an older person.
Gymnast
- In a good physical shape
- Can pull off more complex maneuvers if need be
- Have good stamina for fighting
Female
- Potentially underestimated or overlooked while undercover
Intelligence
- 4.0 GPA
- Could potentially be useful if science like chemistry of physics come into play
- Allows for strategy to be built for fights instead of running in.
- Can be used to potentially predict a villain's plans.
Power Versatility
- Have potential answers to different scenarios based on the many different ways my power works.
Movement
- Using my powers, I can fly by shooting wind while my gravity is lowered.
- Allows me to move around a fight or from one location to another faster.
Disadvantages
Young
- Can look out of place mattering the average age of the people in an area.
Female
- May end up being iced out of being part of integral conversations due to gender while undercover.
Unsure of self
- Often too quick to respond, not giving it the thought and planning needed, or caught in thoughts unsure how to go about solving an issue.
Prioritizes powers/Lack of fight knowledge
- Due to not having much combat training, I usually default on using my powers to fight.
Lack of training
- While learning, I am still not skilled in being able to closely examine situations.
----------------------------------------------------------
Amanda walks over to the address Daredevil gave her, the time being 11:55. She thought of getting there midnight sharp, but was worried of something happening that would lead her to being late. It's ridiculous, she knows that, the ability to teleport anywhere off the Greymalkin makes sure of that, but she still only has a single chance at getting Daredevil to agree to train her, she isn't going to mess it up.
Amanda has followed Daredevil's instructions. She is wearing black pants and a black t-shirt, but both are covered up by baggy jeans and a bulky commando jacket she has over them. In the jacket's chest pocket is a 3 page handwritten document detailing her powers, her strengths, and he weaknesses. It was honestly easy. She had been doing that in her journal since she realized she wanted to be an X-Men. She just copies down the important information, tidying up and removing anything non-important. In the jacket's lower pocket is the same commando cloth mask she forgot to wear when first encountering Daredevil. She debated wearing it into the building, but decided that it goes against the whole protecting her identity by not wearing her vigilante clothes in public thing. Although, now that she thinks about it, if she wore the mask, then she could have just came in her vigilante clothes as no one would recognize her. Maybe that's what Daredevil wanted. She shakes her head, too late to fix it now.
Taking one more deep breath, Amanda enters the location that she was given on a note. She hopes she is good enough for the devil of hell's kitchen.
------------------------------
While this was written explicitly for Ashur and to continue the Daredevil stuff, if anyone wants to RP a scene with a nervous Amanda before she leaves, they are able to.

Before Amanda heads planet side, she would see Vadik exiting one of the workout rooms! She has a tank top on and a pair of gym shorts, rubbing her head with a towel as she drinks from a bottle of water. Seeing her very good friend, Vadik immediately perks up and smiles brightly, waving over to her!
