SO, I spoke to Kage today. She's pretty much up to her eyeballs in work and mid-terms, so said that we could try to come up with our aliens
( Read more... )
Derp, I guess I might as well put my thoughts here:
- At least one of these guys should have a hypnotic/manipulative kind of power, due to the government manipulation going on. - I don't know if it's ever been stated what these guys look like, but in my head they are tall and gangly sort of like this guy, but with fewer arms. And robed so that the natives can't see the whole of how alien they are. - I had a thought that one of them could have tried to go home through the Gate prematurely and got spat out -- like that poor girl Roxas and Axel threw into the Gate and who came back minus eyeballs and sanity. So this guy could also be deformed with tentacles!? and crazy.
Agreed on point 1! And I think Flonne's reasoning on point 3 works nicely pffff oh man I remember that whole bit. Axel and his wonderful ideas.
Yeah, I'm thinking they're not all that tall, but still taller than the average human. Definitely more humanoid- but I think they could possibly get away with having a few extra limbs, just that they're easier to conceal, like folded behind their back/mistaken as some weird spikes/extra shoulder blades and then BAM THEY GRAB YOU WITH FOUR ARMS INSTEAD OF TWO WHAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
LMF- those snake hinge jaws ideas are hilarious. Um, run with those ideas? I haven't been able to track the threads and know how far you've gotten. And honestly any threads I'm in NPC my characters? I was hoping to keep up but. Just. I can't.
Other abilities: Agility, maybe ability to copy weapons? Moving fast. Energy balls. Mild hypnosis is good. Maybe their voices can be used as weapons. Power of hypnotic suggestion. Temporary memory loss that makes them seem like they're teleporting? Poisonouse gas from their mouths. draining energy directly from you if attacked or getting to close.
I can honestly say I pulled a lot of those out of Doctor Who and gaming. Memory loss + hypnotic suggestion [the silence] voices as weapons [lastest episode] poisonous gas [the old people in the dream lord episode] agility and copying weapons are common rpg stats, well, the first is... draining energy, since the gate drains energy, they might be able to do it food -maybe how they eat?- but not on a great enough scale to get home, thus the gate.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking they were crazy tall, just like... basketball player tall. 7 or 8 ft at most, and used to hunching over.
surprise arms = hilarious. We could totally go with that. XD
