in re: the Wave Mage:
- Ooooh. Preeetty. Nicely done.
- I really, really like the idea of the wheelchair-bound guy who, with a *lot* of time, care, effort, passion, and so forth, fuses with his now-awakened wheelchair into a pretty much fully functional (though now obviously no longer fully human) whole - something of a cross between a Modified human and a 'waveship, with a few waveship-style abilities, and the corresponding qurks (though possibly not quite as many nor as strong - depends on the ability set.)
- The "make anything we want" aspect is...worrisome. Seems a tch overpowered Personally, I'd suggest a sort of freakish combination that combined a relatively *small* amount of the liquid metal with all of the (now mostly disassembled) powered wheelchair (with onboard computer). It would let you make anything that you could reasonably construct out of the pieces of a high-end motorized wheelchair, but not just *anything*.
- The "bend reality to our will" part is *really* worrisome. Is almost certainly overpowered. Personally, I'd suggest building him as a ship. He'd be about the smallest, lightest ship imaginable, so he could be zippy indeed. That whole "can't get out of the ship, ever - and really pretty noticeable in a crowd" thing pays for a number of quirk points, as well - perhaps enough for a pretty short-range ability to play with the local grav effects. Snag something like an Odd (but findable) Dietary Need, hook on a few more useful (and instantly handwaved) devices, and it should compare pretty well with the other stuff that will be out there at that time.
- You know, though, that as soon as he gets well known enough for someone to do a news spot on His Story, there are going to be folks all over trying variations on his theme (with varying degrees of success).
- If *I* were doing somethig like this, I'd have finished it up by eating the last bit of the handwavium. Also gives it a bit more finality. Not much, but a bit.
Also... Fen is a term for sci-fi fans. Specifically, it is the internal-use plural of "fan". Fem is a term for people (of either gender) who act strongly in ways generally thought of as "traditionally female" by the norms. Two different things.
Not that there *couldn't* be a Fem Black Market for handwavium, mind.
and...err... how does "earning a slap every time" work when she covers you? (minor, I know, but while I'm here.)
