How much on a scale of XMans can we make this nonsensical? Like do we have to have at least an attempt at biological/technological reasoning or can we poof storms and ice because magic mutations?

It needs no explanation, but should be something centered around yourself, not environments or physical forces.

And batman was a rich guy with a Thing for bats, proto, so that doesn't fit here.

Batman is the worlds greatest detective and has an above genius-level IQ, I think that counts. Also been exposed to numerous chemical weapons and mutagens...

Doesn't count as an ascendancy for the purposes of this.

For the record, the accepted can all start. Do your owj thing for now, but we should all end up, eventually, in Ireland. For Futurecon. Then Plot will occur.

Okay but what if someone has prostheses that augment their physical strength to a point where they could be considered superhuman?

Then that's mechanical augmentation, not a natural ascendancy.

Vladimir boarded his flight to Britain. He was going to stay in London for a couple of nights before going to Futurecon. He breezed through security, and settled in for the long flight.

Are you joining, trolling, or just here to poke holes in the RP, cats? If you have a character, post it and I'll take a look.

And how is it cyberpunk if it's less than ten years in the future? When in history did things change?
