On an unrelated note, I had intended to do a post on the Aquarians themselves at some point, where parthenogenesis was going to be (and still will be) a part of their biology, but I got scooped, and he wrote it up better than I could have anyway so I might wait a while to write that up, but there are certainly other aspects of Aquarian Dawn I'd like to get to sooner or later (for the record I think I talked about it in brief in a private discord group somewhere!). I think I have a different take on elves for the setting that could be pretty interesting, and also dwarves, and fey, and I want to talk about this superpowers angle at some point as well.
Ok, so quirky superpowers:
- Emit laser-pointers from fingertips
- Create strobe effect by blinking
- Can disrupt the internal clock of others by one second at a time
- Dream other peoples dreams
- Can see the last thing a dead person saw from looking in their eyes
- Can communicate with a dead person while they are freshly dead, before their synapses go to shit
- Bodily fluids are a powerful stimulant
- Bodily fluids are a powerful depressant
- Their presence makes music sound euphoric
- Objects do not wear when used by them
- Empathize with everyone and everything
- Their qualia is objective reality in the space around them
Not a terrible list, but I think the proper Aquarian Dawn list, if I ever make it, will be more finely crafted.
