[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4607868, member: 4936"] Hee...you know what would be cool for cactus von cactusalot... The spines could be crystalline, and form a phased auditory array. He can control each spine's resonation to a fine degree, or let them vibrate in response to incoming soundwaves. Each one, in effect, acts like a tiny sonic transciever. When they all act in concert, they create effects as commonplace as vocalizations, or as extreme as that sonic blast...with the sonar ability coming in at a healthy 'medium' setting. That also makes them unspeakably hard and sharp, hence the high damage. Hee hee It's really cool when disparate effects can have a cool global explanation. InVino, I'll take the mutant. Probably not an Examiner though...I just don't see that as being this character's strength. I'll probably go Esper. Ideas forming. Is it possible that this character is a member of a more or less stable "species" of mutant human? I have this mental image of a reclusive race of giants living in remote mountain valleys, hiding away from prying eyes. They herd mutated animals native to the region with sonic attacks, using them for food, clothing, tools and protection.
