Right. Cloaking.

Just making sure to "Clear it with staff", But One of my characters has Cloaking. I feel I should emphasize that. It's a very light "Cloak". When moving, He glistens very noticibly, When moving, He's translucent, and when attacking, he's fully visible.
The cloak is based on light bending around the subject due to a substance he's bathed in interacting with a substance delivered intravenously. Due to this, Any sort of concentrated light, (Flashlight, Muzzle flash, light fixture[Reguardless of firelight or artificial.]) or any sort of heavy winds, Bleeding, bumping into people, or water cause the function to fail, without use untill the substance on the skin and armor is reapplied again. And last but not least, The character can make noise. Breathing, Footsteps, Flatulence, The works.

So, Admins, people with the "final say", What do you think about this unique ability?
Too OP?
Mary sue?
Discuss.

 

Yes.

What? lol.

 

Yeah. He activates a bracer on his armor that injects a dose of the 'reactive fluid'.
It wears off, yes, after a certain amount of time. Depending on his heartrate, The fluid can be metabolized quicker, and be broken down quicker, Hence, The more he moves or fights with it on, Or panics, the quicker it wears off.

If he's relativly inactive, It can last quite some time.
Honestly, I'm a little hazy about a way for him to deactivate it ICLY, So, I just freeball some sci-fi mumbo jumbo.
But, yeah. It is as jank as jank can be.

 

Not to sound rude, but I Think You skipped all of those drawbacks I put in place.

 

The Idea comes from a Ferrous Fluid. The Injected agent is essentially that, (Overall healthiness of the subject, being floran notwithstanding. I didn't want to mess with the canon of their hereditary metabolic systems, Because I didn't want to mess with whatever lore might be in place regarding the excretory systems of the Floran people, as Ingesting Ferrous fluid is known to, atleast in humans, lead to uncontrollable bowels.) When it is injected into him, Rushes through his system. The injected agent is sort of like a fluid magnet. While trying to stay within the suspension of disbelief, The idea is that as it goes through his system, and spreads over his body, The liquid polymer he was 'Dipped in' reacts to match the polar arrangement of the liquid, bending the light around him in a manner that makes him 'Invisible'.
The Idea behind Ferro-fluid can be found Here.

And the Idea behind the "Light bending material" that worked as an invisibility cloak exsists even now, Created by some kids at a college somewhere in the states, However, googling it only results in finding bad green screen "Invisibility" videos on youtube, and Photoshops.



You've gotta understand, this is about as easy as i'm sure it was for Mr. Aldous Huxley to write the Bokanovsky process in "Brave New World", Or for the creators of Halo:Combat Evolved to explain the Elites having cloaking. Thankfully they didn't have to, because I don't think they could have.
My point is essentially, I wanted to give the character somthing unique, that could fit into the lore snugly, without disrupting other rper's experience.

I won't argue against whatever ruling you decide on, I rather support it. I've been in plenty situations before this server that godmodding was an issue, Hence my taking Many steps to avoid comming off as "Over powered". I will defend my decision, but I won't argue your ruling. The Floran is a shorter, Weaker chap, favoring knives and misdirection. A typical theif archetype. I felt it would be both necessary, and fitting to give him the edge of stealth, Within the bounds of accepted lore and the unspoken meta guidelines for "Over powered abilities"
