Jump #324: Infamous
>The Magician: Mastery over word, mind, and matter. The initiation of new projects, great works, or a new way of life.
To be fair, considering the crap I've gone through, seeing everyone flip their shit at this sort of stuff as super powers... well, let's just say I'm going to stir the pot a LOT more.
>Age: 19
>Location: Los Angeles
Should I fly to Los Angeles? Find my asshole brother?
>Identity: Drifter
Oh, wait, I don't have one. Oh well, there was no sense in my violence anyway.
>Drawbacks: Remnant (+300)
Whatever's left of the DUP is after me, probably because being a conduit is clearly not the only thing I have going on. That's okay though.
>Strength (Free, Drifter)
Like Shazam, I have the Strength of Solomon!
>Stamina (1200)
The Stamina of Solomon!
>Durability (1100)
The Durability of... Dolomite?
>Regen (1000)
The Regeneration of ... wait a minute.
>Toggle (850, Drifter)
At least I won't be breaking anything by accidentally zapping it with electricity. Rather annoying if that happens.
>Energy Form (550, Drifter)
Being able to walk around in an electrical form is pretty awesome, can't deny that.
>Biocapacitor (350)
Double the power, double the satisfaction. Wonder if I can reproduce this in some way and build this into my power armor?
>Light Body Armor (300)
It won't hurt to have a little subtle armor underneath everything else. The more it blocks, the more my body doesn't need to.
>Safe House (Free, Drifter)
At least I've got a place to stay.
>Motorcycle (0)
And a way to get around. Electric motorcycle! Or better, Conduit-powered. Wonder if I can reproduce this, too.

So... the long and short of it? I pop up in Los Angeles, keep my head down for now, and look for work somewhere that I can pull my weight. Maybe I'll work in construction, that's a nice thing. In the meantime, I'll roll out my standard greeting program and patch the universe... slightly.

Across the world, five teenagers (who may or may not be with attitude) gain elementally-aligned rings, a sense of where each is, and the knowledge that they can be something... more.

Across the world, a number of people wake up with foreign tongues in their mind, and find they have the ability to transmute matter, uplift animals as their familiars, and create tools to manipulate eldritch energies readily.

Across the world, a musical language embeds itself in sleeping minds, and in a distant corner of the ocean, a tower begins to grow toward the heavens.

Across the world, in dark corners, rituals speak of dark obscenities and for the first time in memory are answered by a mark burnt into their skin and arcane energies abruptly at their disposal.

Across the world, many find themselves suddenly inspired to invent things that they never had imagined before.

Let the dead husk of the Deparmtent of Unified Protection come. Conduits are the LEAST of their concerns now.
