Demigod traits

• All of them are superhuman from the ReadRiordan website
• - ADHD gives them instincts, reflexes, and senses better than regular mortals TLT pg.93
• - Average demigod juggling limes sees them in slow-mo. DOA
• -Every demigod shown has showed that perceive things fast enough for time to slow down when they’re in combat situation, from Percy’s first fight with the Minotaur to Reyna seeing arrows move in slow motion it Annabeth seeing a lion pounce in slow-mo TLT ch.8,BOO,TSS
• - Average demigod archer can be compared to an Olympic gold medalist according to Apollo. TTT chapter 21
• - Magic resistance strong enough to not notice a sleep spell by Morpheus that simultaneously knocked out every person and machine in Manhattan. TLO chapter 9-10

Weapon

Anaklusmos/riptide is a 3 ft long sword with a leaf shaped blade. Made of celestial bronze that harms the divine and monstrous beings of the world along with mortals if the mortal is important enough such as Setne and Carter Kane, and it can even cut down ghouls and ghosts. It’s disguised as a pen that always returns to him and durable enough to survive full submersion in lava

• Celestial bronze is a powerful metal in which even just - small cuts can lead to immense pain SOM ch. 18 and- SOS pg.8
• - and has shown similar abilities to Imperial gold whose wounds can touch the soul and eat away a persons’ life force BOO ch.4
• -After being uncapped riptide releases in half a second TLO pg.158
• - Always returns to him at most in a few moments TLT pg. 160
• - Can deflect energy blasts. TLO ch.8

Strength/striking

• - In the first book as a 12 yo rips off the Minotaur horn with his bare hands. TLT pg.60
• - At 13 he beat down the 15 ft. Cyclops Polyphemus using the power of friendship. SOM ch.8 and pg.218-219 .
• Polyphemus was said to be the strongest of the species. - For reference Ma Gasket and her kids could throw trucks and being hit in the face with a 3 ton metal claw only made Ma Gasket mad TLH ch.24, so Percy had some force behind those hits
• -one shot a gorgon who were later shown able to tank getting hit by a truck in the fast lane of a highway SON ch.2
• - Cuts a stone fountain in half BOTL ch. 5
• -hits someone in the chest hard enough to send them flying SOM ch.19
• - Cuts trees big enough to crush human sized monsters and this was after having his heart pierced by an arrow. HOH ch.30
• - Easily cutting a nikette in half,who's a human sized woman made of metal BOO ch.12
• -clashes between Percy and Hyperion caused shockwaves and charged the air with ozone TLO ch.14
• Him and Kronos shake the entire Manhattan bridge with a single clash. TLO ch. 11 https://imgur.com/2nZ0kDD
• - For reference on his strength, Kronos was strong enough to easily rip down doors large enough to steer a cruise ship and smash them, and stomp a hole through a mountain TLO ch. 19
• - Percy and Jason shook the ground with their strikes. MOA ch.10
• - For reference on Jason,he was strong enough to deflect a blow from a giant capable of shaking an entire mountain, Mt. Diablo to be exact. TLH ch.42
• - Hit colossus a 100 ft. tall bronze statue, who was no selling electrical and fire attacks and boulders from a catapult, hard enough to stagger it THO pg. 330
• -easily blocking a minor god’s blows TSC -Impressive because minor gods still have general god powers including varying degrees of divine strength. Nero, the most minor was still strong enough to be three times stronger than someone who threw a car with enough force to crush a cyclops
• - Slammed, not pierced, the ice on the Hubbard Glacier and caused the whole thing to shake SON ch.46.While this feat may seem ridiculous, so is fighting enemies that can stomp holes through mountains, shake mountains, and even lift them. It also could have just been his geokinetic abilities, but either way it’s one of his best feats because the Hubbard Glacier is huge
• - Stopping King Prophyrion’s charge, a giant who was said could lift mountains. BOO ch.43 Not hyperbole because the - twin giants Otis and Ephialtes show that stronger Giants can lift and stack mountain one on top of the other. GG Ares ch. - His anti, Zeus also has a feat of lifting a mountain and slamming it on an enemy’s head. GG Zeus ch.Percy did this when he was still weakened from Tartarus
• - Jumped onto this wall SON ch.11 https://imgur.com/gallery/JYNYJaN
• - While weakened in Tartarus from the acidic air and other features of the place designed to kill non-monsters, Percy was able to grab Annabeth and jump several hundred yards. HOH ch.56 Notice the corpse complexion cause they are literally dying from just breathing

Lifting strength

• - The second time he fought the Minotaur he was 10 ft. tall in full armor and Percy was able to easily grab him and toss him off a bridge TLO ch. 11. If it weighs anything like a real bull, it’s in the same range as a car.
• - Percy catching the weight of a big spider monster and a car that had been falling under a dark gravitational force for a couple minutes MOA ch. 51.
• - He had a hold on a celedon who he said was as strong as the Minotaur. SOA pg.30 That’s impressive because the - Minotaur could throw a car down a road and it skid for half a mile TLT pg.56 https://pastebin.com/mbtl01iPMeand throw a limo 100 ft. into the air TLO ch. 11. Solid strength feat to hold on to someone that strong that’s trying to throw you off for a couple minutes
• - Withstood being pulled in by setne when he kinda made himself the new center of gravity. COP pg.6
• -Percy casually pushing aside the 10 foot long lid of Kronos’ golden sarcophagus with one hand. SOM ch.9, BOTL ch.16 To compare Kronos’ https://i.imgur.com/L3Cg7w5.jpg to real sarcophagus’ and to see why this is a feat at all King tut outermost coffin lid weighed 1.36 tons and was about 7.5 ft long The sarcophagus of Pakal the Great is close to 12 ft long made of stone weighed between 5-7 tons Since Kronos’ was made of gold Percy was easily moving several tons, maybe even in the low teens with ease.
• - He can scale to Thalia who pushed a boulder the size of a compact car up a 500 foot hill the length of a conversation although she did struggle. TSOH and GG Hades ch.

Combat Speed

• - Cut a volley of arrows out the air. SOM pg.133
• - Blocked point blank gunfire, Zoe and Bianca were shooting at that distance so the skeletons should be too, and raised his lion cost as a shield after six skeletons opened fire TTC ch.12 https://imgur.com/gallery/gyjrcUy. While he didn’t necessarily see the bullets, he could still perceive it showing he can perceive supersonic movements * - Kronos is so fast it’s like fighting 100 swordsmen at once and even then his adhd still made him aware of things around him albeit vaguely TLO ch.19
• - Percy and Jason fought so fast their blades blurred MOA ch.10
• - Soon after having his energy drained Percy was able to fight a Giant fast enough to react to cloud-to-ground lightning and Percy was still fast enough to move as a blur, although it was 2 vs.1 that they eventually lost MOA ch.44 and 48
• -Ares swinging down to slice him, but before the swing was completed he was able to jump over him and attempt a slash at his back Note that the water didn’t actually push him into the air because it’s never worked independently to help him in that way.
• - Percy moving fast enough to amaze Annabeth, who fought and tagged a vampire named Kelli who moves at blur speeds and had a fight sequence that lasted half a second HOH ch.7 and 16
• - Along with Frank and Hazel he was fast enough to kill a group of Karpoi who are grain spirits, SON ch.19, that are fast enough to cross several feet steal a box of matches and back before the person could finish blinking THO pg.290
• -Dodging, reacting, and killing Mrs. Dodds who’s fast enough to appear to materialize. TLT pg.10,15 Materialize is used several times to describe speed throughout the series from Percy such as
• -thinking the gods materializing thing is teleporting when they really just move so fast it appears that they teleport. TLO ch.9
• -Arion running so fast he materializes MOA ch.4
• -Keres, battlefield spirits, materializing. Percy took a couple of these spirits down till he was hit from behind TSOH pg.16 There’s some more, but you get the point ](https://textuploader.com/1pgzm)
• -Percy stomping an Amazon. An Amazon named Kinzie was able to move fast enough that Hazel’s eyes almost couldn’t follow. That’s great speed considering Hazel was able to albeit barely see her supersonic horse Arion run away at a speed she called faster than forked lightning. I had that exposition because Hazel described the Amazon that Percy fought moving her spear with lightning speed. The last thing Hazel used lightning in reference to speed was supersonic, and seeing as a fellow Amazon’s speed made Hazel react the same way she did to Arion, I’d say Percy casually stomped a supersonic opponent. SON ch.32
• - Killed six dog demons before they could make a sound. TLO pg.6

Scaling to a son of Athena * -Zane dodging the charge of a leonte that was fast enough to move down a hall as a flash of yellow, and move across an office in a flash DOA pg.25,42 * -Scaling to Annabeth who could dodge Kelli HOH ch.15 * -Who’s one of the fastest characters we’ve seen in the universe. She’s fast enough to blitz Rachel before riptide can even switch to sword form after being uncapped. BOTL ch.14 And from the lightning thief that it only takes half a second for the sword form to release, but Kelli moves faster * -Leo doing a backward somersault to dodge large rocks thrown at him at super speeds. TLH ch.43 * -Piper coming up from below a ridge to move fast enough to to be a blur of turquoise and black TLO ch.42 * -Jason deflecting lightning in a fight with a ventus he was tagged when he wasn’t ready to fight, so thishad nothing to do with being a son of Zeus cause he can be affected by lightning, This one needs context cause you could argue against it * -but venti are storm spirits. In PJO nature spirits obviously make up nature. From trees spirits to river spirits,they have humanoid forms, but are also literally a tree or river or flower. For this venti named Dylan his true form is a literal storm cloud along with the other venti that comes with him. Venti are literal thunderstorms because they are the thunderclouds. It’s not the same as characters like avatar characters that can generate lightning cause in this case the lighting is being generated by the actual cloud. * -Besides that feat he did dodge a charge of a venti who are fast enough to move only a little slower than Arion who’s supersonic BOO ch. 59

Movement speed

Only faster than above average mortals * - Ran 10 yards before Bianca could say anything. TTC ch.6 * - human magician in good shape struggling to keep up SOS pg.9 * - outpaced Sadie while holding a heavy object, COP pg.12 * - Apollo who had been turned mortal couldn’t keep up with Percy and Meg THO pg. 57

Durability/Endurance

• Took two shots from a nikette capable of throwing a metal wreath hard enough to bust a hole through a brick wall and was alright BOO ch.14 https://pastebin.com/jTd5qpcv
• - Kicked 30 ft by Ares TLT pg.341
• - Flung threw the air from a shockwave caused by a metallic warrior the size of a skyscraper TTC ch. 13
• -thrown across an arena by the giant Antaeus. BOTL ch.14 https://imgur.com/gallery/oxDm3j7 with no harm done to himself
• - Hit by a hellhound, who has been shown knocking down giants, but 12 y/o Percy only stumbles back and isn’t in any pain even though he had been badly cut. TLT pg.130
• - Hit by a magic/cannon ball from a laistrygonian giant who is strong enough to use flatten cars as shields and tree trunks as weapons.They’re also strong enough to send a dozen demigods flying like rag dolls with 1 hit. He got hit and was still able to dodge another ball thrown. SOM pg.17 and BOTL ch.18
• - Took some small explosions that left craters and was close to a little bigger one that destroyed a locker room SOM pg.18-19
• -A spell from Setne that made the ground explode, but Percy was able to stay on his feet while the ground was ruptured COP pg.20
• - Took a couple hits from they 15 ft. cyclops Polyphemus, who could hit hard enough to cause trenches SOM pg.218-228
• - Hit by Atlas who could send people flying,hit a superhuman so far that Percy didn’t even see where she landed, and his hits made fissures large enough to be leaped over. TTC ch.17
• - alongside Annabeth, they jumped off a 300 ft. cliff, landed on solid ground and kept running the moment they landed HOH ch.54 and 55 this was while in a weakened state
• - Hit with a blast of lightning from Jason who was possessed to kill him. Jason's best feat at that point was destroying a mansion while his powers were suppressed with one bolt MOA ch.10
• - Because of poison from a daimon(which can only be cured by a god) he could barely stand, was seeing yellow spots, nauseous , almost passed out from just walking, could barely move his body, and he was still able to fight the Titan Iapetus. TSOH pg.16-25
• - Hit by Ephialtes who’s stronger than another giant who can shake a mountain. TLH ch.42 While weaker than he once was, he used to lift mountains GG Ares ch. although Percy was hurt he could still fight. MOA ch.46
• - Backhanded by the Giant King Porphyrion though he was dazed and if attacked again he would have been helpless BOO ch. 43
• - Carter hit him with the Fist of Horus which team rocketed him. He got hit hard enough to fly out of Carter’s sight at “escape velocity” and knocked into “orbit’. He came back to win the fight. SOS pg. 6
• - In Tartarus, killing Arai brought pain and curses from the monsters he’d previously killed and he simultaneously felt the pain of an arrow piercing his heart, stab in the gut, among dozen others and it took gorgon's blood that disintegrates you to put him down, and even then he got up because he felt it would be a lame way to die. HOH ch.29
• - Tanked and breathed in a poison cloud that caused the ground to steam, air to burn, and dissolved his bag. HOH ch.48
• - Was in a cloud of plague mist by plague spirits which was capable of insta ko’ing a mortal THO pg.49
• His best feat is surviving Mt. St. Helen’s eruption from being in the heart of it. For comparison the 1980 explosion released 24 megatons. While he did almost die, that was more because of the energy drain than the explosion itself. He was actually still conscious and cognitive immediately following the explosion. It wasn’t till he was racing back down to Earth like a comet did he pass out. BOTL ch.11 and 12
• - Some explosions to scale. Luke and Thalia were in a building when it exploded. TDOLC pg.21
• - Jason survived an explosion that turned dirt and rock glassy and made a thirty foot deep crater,and he was the one holding the thing that exploded. TLH ch.43
• - Piper,Leo,Jason being knocked out of the sky about airplane height, with Jason trying to slow them down until he couldn’t TLH ch.22 https://imgur.com/gallery/Pu4d6K4 Piper hurt her ankle, but Jason and Leo were fine.
• -Annabeth fighting a lion/wolf/crab hybrid monster who’s aura alone ko’ed a bunch of mortals in the vicinity. She took three red energy wave blasts, with the last one destroying a train and blasting her 50 yards away. She got back up not too long after SOS pg. 10-14

Agility

• - Jumps 7 ft. In the air (Minotaur height) and turns in mid air to land on its neck TLT pg.59
• - Leapt ninja style. SOS pg.6
• - Agile enough for Carter to think he practices gymnastics. SOS pg.14
• - rolling around and somersaulting. SON ch. 12
• - Impressed Apollo with an athletic display.THO pg.330
• - Pushed from the top of Times Tower, during the fall grabs a ledge and flips back on. TSOA
• - Easily jumped from plane to plane in a museum TTC pg.145 the graphic novel omitted that part of scene but this is the museum https://imgur.com/gallery/no1wCIE
• -jumped up a giants body and swung from the chains on the roof to tie him up with the agility of a crazed monkey BOTL ch.14

Mist control

The mist is the uppermost layer of the Duat which is the realm of magic. It’s the reason mortals don’t see anything out of the ordinary when dealing with the magical. Someone who can control it can alter memories, appearances, summon weapons, make creatures to fight for you, hide objects even if they’re directly in-front of you, create illusions, and teleport. Though he’s not very good at it Percy has shown the ability to make small illusions and hide in plain sight

• - Makes a cop see a presidential motorcade. TSOA
• - Hides their descending ship. MOA ch.31

Magic

Heat resistance

• - Lava setting him on fire felt warm and first but it quickly started hurting. BOTL ch.11
• - Full submersion and not melting BOTL ch.11 catching me up and blasting me downward into the lava.
• - The air turning into a blast furnace cause magic, knocking out mortals, melting pavement, and quickly rising to the point Percy was afraid Midtown would burn down. TSOA
• -possibly tanked a fire blast from the chimera that melted metal TLT ch.13,14 I said possibly because it’s not clear if he dove into the fire or away from it, but it mentions his clothes and whole body being on fire during the scene.

Magic resistance

• - Didn’t notice a spell that slept millions of mortals and technology TLO ch.9 and 10
• - Carter's magic attack didn’t work. SOS pg.6
• - celedon capable of affecting several thousand through song although he had wax here it melted and the rest of the time he was vulnerable to her magic, he was able to resist later on the roof. TSOA
• - Celadon sang a song to make people on Times Square dance but Percy actively resisted it showing that he can force his way through magic if his passive resistance doesn't hold. TSOA
• - Broke the celadon’s spell that was used to make him lose his resolve. TSOA
• - Setne put a fall spell on him meaning he couldn’t get up without falling back down, but he was able to break it to avoid another spell. COP pg. 6
• - Breaks a time spell inflicted by Kronos by using his water powers TLO pg.10

Mental defense

• - Didn’t have his mind torn to shreds by his father though it almost was. TLO ch. 17

Intelligence

• - First to figure out Ares stole the bolt and that he had help from Kronos. TLT pg. 334-337
• - Comes up with good plans even if unorthodox TTC pg.146

Combat feats

• - While it’s just a spar against Luke he hit a move that takes others years to learn with his first try. TLT pg.116
• - Untrained Percy fight the Minotaur for the first time a monster trained since birth to kill that even Theseus one of the greatest heroes and co-inventor of pankration(mma) had trouble TLT pg.60

Percy vs Ares * - Although Ares wasn’t taking him seriously it’s still impressive for a week trained 12 y/o especially since Ares seems to have battle precog because he knew where Percy was attacking before he even did it. Also shows how his adhd lets him see how his opponents tense, so he knows where the attack is gonna come from. TLT pg.341-344 * - After a year he’s considered one of the best swordsman in the last hundred years, cabins of super humans don’t work him out and he wishes he could fight the war gods cabins SOM ch.6 * - Curse Percy vs. Minotaur TLO ch.11 * - Against Carter he showed to be quick and strong, and while it was completely one-sided, he still told Carter he did better against him than most others SOS pg.5-6 * -Beating up the 1st and 2nd cohort of Camp Jupiter. Lots of rolling and flipping showing a very active and athletic fighting style SON ch.12 * -Easily beats Magnus,son of Frey, in hand to hand combat TSTD ch.1 While Magnus isn’t much of a fighter, he’s still capable of ripping a 20 ft. long lamppost out the ground and jump 60 ft. vertically. Percy’s trained in unarmed combat at Camp and this is one of the few times he does

Will

Aegis feats

• - Thalia making monsters run away. TTC ch. 17
• - Luke scared during a fight with her TTC ch.17
• - Percy resisting aegis' power TTC ch.6

Important to note that- while using his powers does drain him over time, the amount he's drained is pretty overstated. His storm powers are the only ones that drain him, in the way that he'll feel physically tired from it, but being to able to use his water powers at a high level is never affected especially considering his best feat occured after prolonged use of his storm powers.

Hydrokinesis

• - 2nd time ever using his powers and blasts some toilets to send people out a room TLT pg.96-97

Miranda Lawson

OST
Miranda Lawson is a genetically engineered human created by the billionaire Henry Lawson in the hopes of building his own dynasty. For the beginning years of her life Miranda was provided with everything she could want, but soon realized her father saw her as nothing more than something to be controlled for his own ends. Escaping along with her genetically identical infant sister, she joined up with the human rights organization Cerberus for protection. Due to her impressive capabilities she quickly rose through the ranks and eventually became head of the Lazarus Project, an attempt to bring the recently deceased Commander Shepard back to life. After the success of the project (and the death of most of the staff on board due to a traitor withing) she became Shepard's second in command aboard the new Normandy during their mission to stop the Collectors from abducting human colonies. Eventually this mission would prove successful, after which Miranda cut her ties with Cerberus and began to oppose them in order to protect her sister and bring down her father once and for all.
Note: A number of feats can be performed by any squadmate regardless of who they are. These feats will be marked with [Squadmate] and the gif is not guranteed to have Miranda in them. Similarly, gifs of Miranda's in game abilities are performed by Shepard (since the abilities are functionally identical in game regardless of who's using them)

Information on In-Universe Technology
Firearms: Mass Effect firearms work by using mass effect fields and electromagnetism to accelerate metal slugs to sufficient velocities and are designed to squash or shatter on impact. A single weapon can hold thousands of rounds, smaller than grains of sand. In general Mass Effect weaponry tear up stone and concrete, destroy a satelite uplink in a single shot, and blow apart enemy heads

• As of Mass Effect 2 weapons make use of a disposable heat sink (known as a thermal clip) which can be replaced in seconds. Spent clips are hot enough to ignite flamable liquid on contact

Body Armor: Body armor is made of fabric hardsuits with kinetic padding, with less flexible areas potentially reinforced with ceramic. These suits can be be sealed to protect against hostile enviornments. Resistance to gun fire depends on the amount of reinforcement over a given body part.
Kinetic Barriers: Kinetic barriers create mass effect fields that repel projectiles moving at sufficiently high velocity. Barriers can easily block single shots from pistols and submachine guns, and in the novels these can block at least limited shots from assault rifles and sniper rifles
Biotics
Biotics are the ability to create mass effect fields and manipulate dark energy to produce effects like telekinesis. However using biotic abilities requires time and concentration, and can be very draining.
Offensive Feats

• Sends a woman and several mechs flying
  
• Disables and begins to tear apart a LOKI mech, and then throws it

• Sends her father flying through a window
  
• Lifts a commando into the air and then sends her flying with a pulse
  
• Claims she could crush a mech
  

Defensive Feats

• Blocks gun fire
  
  • In the novels a barrier creates a powerful gravitational field that completely stops the momentum of several bullets
• Redirects a chair thrown by Jack
  
• Creates a barrier to protect several people from seeker swarms for several minutes (though it only blocks seeker swarms and not anything else, and she's drained at the end)
  

Abilities

• Warp: Rips foes apart at the molecular level, causing damage and halting regeneration, and can also detonate other biotic powers. Can be upgraded to either increase its damage or increase the blast radius when it detonates biotic effects.
  
  • In 3 it can be upgraded in various ways
  • In the novels warp creates several microscopic mass effect fields that warp space-time and tear into Anderson's flesh. In one book it's described as thousands of rapidly shifting mass effect fields that quickly tear apart a large cyborg
• Slam: Lifts a foe up then slams them down with a force of 600 Newtons. Can be upgraded to either hit with 800 Newtons or slam the target down on their most vulnerable points to incapacitate them
  
  • In gameplay slam can pick up and slam down a Geth Prime
• Reave: Drains a target's health and disrupts there resistances and can be upgraded in various ways
  

Guns
Miranda specializes in heavy pistols and submachine guns, though has been shown using other weapon types.
Heavy Pistols

• Shepard's pistol could shoot through a pipe containing flammable gas and then ignite it with a second shot as well as shoot through a window bordering a vacuum
  
• In the novels pistol rounds can at point blank range blast through a krogan's head and go right through a quarian's head and lodges itself in a shuttle's bulkhead
  
• The M-3 Predator can blow apart the head of a LOKI Mech
  
• The M-5 Phalanx heavy pistol is said to have no loss of stopping power compared to a soldier's assault rifle, and comes equipped with a laser sight
  
• The M-6 Carnifex heavy pistol in Paragon Lost could cause a ceiling to collapse with multiple shots
  
• The M-11 Surpressor is a specialized silenced pistol
  
  • A silenced pistol is barely audible to a person at close range
• The M-77 Paladin has unquestionably superior firepower to the Carnifex, though with smaller clips
  
• The Acolyte fires ammunition similar in effect to a warp bomb, devastating shields and barriers
  
• The Arc Pistol uses a laser to ionize the air and create an electric shock that can be charged up
  
• The Scorpion fires projectiles that stick onto foes and then explode and can very quickly bring down Cerberus troops
  

Submachine Guns

• Can blow apart a large piece of artwork with a single shot
  
• [Squadmate] Quickly guns down a Krogan. who have hides impenetrable to all melee weapons short of molecular blades
  
• [Squadmate] Blows the arms off of a mech and blows up its head
  
• The M-4 Shuriken submachine gun can pretty quickly bring down an armored Krogan.
  
  • In Paragon Lost it could tear up a Krogan's armor and blow apart the head of a collector with a single shot
  • The M-9 Tempest is considered an upgrade to the Shuriken, though it doesn't have clear feats
• The M-12 Locust can pierce through kinetic barriers at a distance of 25 meters
  
• The M-25 Hornet can go right through a soldier's helmet with one shot
  
• The Blood Pack Punisher automatically fires armor piercing rounds out of a second barrel

• [Squadmate] Quickly guns down multiple husks
  
• Blows the arm off a Loki Mech with a sniper rifle
  

Weapon Modification

• In Mass Effect 2 these upgrades are specific to weapon types, and all are applied as soon as they are researched. They increase the damage and utility of the various weapons
  
  • Heavy Pistol Upgrades
  • Submachine Gun Upgrades
• In Mass Effect 3 upgrades are items that can be applied to each induvidual weapon. They vary between weapon types, but tend to increase accuracy, damage, penetration, melee damage, etc...
  
  • Heavy Pistol Upgrades
  • Submachine Gun Upgrades

Misc Tech
Omni-Tool: An omni-tool is a handheld device composed of a combination computer microframe, sensor analysis pack, and miniature fabricator.

• Overload: Unleashes an electromagnetic pulse that does major damage to shields and synthetic enemies, can stun synthetic foes,, and overheat weapons. It can be upgraded to either cause synthetic enemies to explode on "death" or have an area of effect of three meters
  
  • In 3 it can be upgraded in various ways

"Nobody's perfect"

Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm just a guy in his early thirties living in the oven that is called Phoenix, Arizona with a wife (If you're reading this, hi honey!), cat, and two ferrets. After too many stops and starts I've finally started going to school consistently and am officially starting at ASU in the fall studying Biomedical Engineering. I'd eventually like to work on artificial limbs.
Or turn people into cyborgs.
On top of delivering pizzas and school I also do a little bit of Amplifier repair work and deal Craps and Blackjack for various casino party companies.
When did you first become interested in horror?
The first books I could ever remember reading were the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stein. That combined with the fact that my father was a big horror fan himself (He let me watch Alien for the first time when I was about eight years old) eventually led me to start reading Stephen King. I can't definitively say when I first became interested in horror as a genre as it's basically been around me all of my life in one form or another.
Was there a specific moment you knew you wanted to write in that genre?
I wrote stories of all types for a long time without any real direction on what type I wanted to focus on. While I did read a lot of Stephen King and grew up with him I also read a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy along the way as well. When I really decided to focus in on horror was after reading "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski for the first time when I was eighteen. That was when I learned that horror wasn't just scary monsters or people in hockey masks chasing horny teenagers around a lake. It evoked that deeply unsettling feeling that you can't define and makes you more terrified because you can't.
I knew I wanted to evoke that feeling in people. That feeling of 'something's not right but I can't pinpoint it'. A terror and looming dread hiding in the periphery of your vision that you think you saw for just a second but when you look is no longer there.
I don't think I've gotten there yet. But I'm working on it.
Where do you find inspiration? Have real life experiences ever made their way into your work?
I try to find inspiration anywhere I can. A lot of my ideas come from thinking about something weird that I saw or can't explain and coming up with some sort of story around it. A good example of this is the sign in "I deliver Pizzas". I can't speak for the extradimensional abilities of the street, but the sign and street are real and it's really goddamn weird. Especially since the sign says 'no exit' and the street it's on actually does have an exit.
Sometimes it's something mundane that I see if I can make weird or creepy (like Canada Geese, for example).
One of the biggest fears I have is losing control of my own mind and will to some type of disease like Alzheimer's and that's led to a decent amount of ideas. That has served as one of the major inspirations for a couple of my stories, the main one being "I was a test subject for a medical experiment..."
How did you discover NoSleep? What prompted you to begin writing for it?
I actually got an amazon recommendation on my Kindle for the PenPal ebook quite a bit ago and bought it with no knowledge of its origins on reddit. When I looked up more information about it I found the creepypasta channels on Youtube (CreepsMcPasta and MrCreepypasta specifically) and listened to the other stuff they had.
It was a number of years later that I finally found where the hell all of these stories had come from. I had stopped writing for quite a bit of time when I turned twenty three because of the amount of rejection letters I got from various Litmags and was fed up with trying to get published anywhere.
A little over a year ago while browsing reddit I found the writingprompts subreddit and thought it looked fun so I tried that for a little while. It's good practice but the most notice I got over there was a response that was essentially an extended rickroll. When I looked for a subreddit dedicated to original writing not based on prompts I stumbled on this little corner of the internet.
Was it difficult transitioning from the WritingPrompts format to writing for NoSleep?
It's a fun activity and great practice but I had pretty much no problem switching to the NoSleep writing format. I had already been listening to the stories on the more well known youtube channels for a little while and caught the general idea of how the stories should be formatted pretty quickly, although there have definitely been a few stumbles along the way (Mostly the believability rule).
But honestly I just enjoy writing horror stories so much more than the Scifi/Fantasy stuff that permeates that sub, and as anyone can tell you that if you enjoy it it's hardly work.
Do you have a favorite writing prompt you wrote for the sub?
[WP] When the king dies, a 100 floor tower falls from the sky and the crown returns to the top floor. Many climbers form adventuring parties to reach the top in hope of being the next ruler. Posted by u/lordhelmos
I enjoyed it so much I ended up writing 12k words that made up the beginning of a novel. Unfortunately I have a terrible attention span and it didn't manage to hold my attention at the time enough to finish it. Although once I get my short story collection out it's my plan to try and flesh it out into an entire novel. I think it'll be nice to have a bit of a departure from my usual stuff.
What NoSleep stories and/or authors have had the strongest impact on you?
u/1000vultures definitely as it's the first piece of fiction I'd read from the subreddit. u/The_Dalek_Emperor is another favorite (I know I'm not the first to say it, but Borrasca is an absolute masterpiece).
Since becoming involved and reading the subreddit more I've really enjoyed stuff by u/EZmisery, u/Colourblindness, u/Scott_Savino, u/Poloniumpoisoning, and many more that I'm going to feel bad later for forgetting to mention because this place has so many good writers on it.
What is the most terrifying thing you have personally experienced?
When I was fifteen my Grandmother was on her deathbed in a hospice. She was in her late eighties and had been sick with pneumonia for a couple of days. When it was obvious she wasn't going to get better my siblings and I were taken out of school. I can remember waiting outside of her room with my brother and sisters while, one at a time, each of us went in to say our goodbyes.
This was a women I had seen nearly every single week for my entire life. She had all of these machines hooked up to her. An IV. A breathing mask. It was hard to actually see the fragile old woman buried underneath the tubes and blankets.
I started crying and couldn't stop. I could hear the looming specter of death in every raspy breath. It was the first time I could ever remember seeing someone that close to death.
We're incredibly sorry for your loss, that's heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing. <3 Do you think that experience played a role in your interest in writing stories that explore the concept of an afterlife?
Time doesn't heal all wounds but it definitely dulls it. It was 17 years ago and it doesn't occupy my mind too much lately. But thank you :)
I don't personally believe in an afterlife, but it definitely made me think about the concept more than I had at any point in my life up until then. My parents were never very religious so I hadn't been to synagogue or church enough to really think about it much. It was a nice thought at first to think that my Grandmother was around and watching over us. That she was still capable of feeling love.
Over the years though the thoughts became a bit darker. As I got older the concept became less and less nice to think about. Eternity is a very, very long time and no matter how pleasant would eventually get to the point that it would be impossible to enjoy anything. There is no adversity to overcome in paradise, and hence nothing to strive for.
Paradise sounds boring. And an eternity of boredom doesn't sound like paradise to me.
What are some of your biggest influences from media?
I love Brandon Sanderson's world building.
Stephen King, as I said before, has been a huge influence as well. I could only dream to make as realistic characters as him.
Pretty much everything Neil Gaiman has ever done. The Sandman comic book series especially. The Twilight Zone.
H.P. Lovecraft minus the racism.
The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
And of course the comedy stylings of the MST3K crew on the satellite of love.
Other than writing, what are some of your hobbies? What other creative mediums do you enjoy?
I'm a gigantic nerd and am always up for a good game of Magic the Gathering or a session of DnD. While I don't like puzzles very much I do enjoy solving problems around the house. It makes me feel useful when I can fix a garbage disposal or replace a broken stair railing.
D&D, eh? exits out of a tab with an alignment chart spreadsheet of all the NSI mods We may have played a campaign or two before. What's your favorite character class to play?
Warlocks! Whether I'm making a deal for a book of shadows from a celestial or enslaving an imp with the power from an unknown elder god from the great beyond I enjoy the variety of things a warlock can do. Plus getting back spells on a short rest is always nice.
Do you ever explore writing other genres besides horror? If so, what other styles of writing? Which do you prefer?
Before nosleep I was mostly interested in Fantasy and Science fiction. On my subreddit I have about the first 15k words of an unfinished fantasy novel and the first 10k of an unfinished Science fiction comedy novel. I still haven't decided if I'm going to finish either eventually.
You've dabbled in humor before with your Possessed Dumbass series. Did you find writing something with more comedic tones to be more fun or challenging?
It's definitely a lot of fun. A ridiculous amount of fun, if I'm being honest, but very hard to pull off in an effective way. If you lean too far into the horror of it than the comedic parts are jarring and out of place and if you lean into the comedy too much than the horror falls completely flat. I honestly don't know how Gas Station Jack manages to do it as well as he does with how many words he's written.
How much time do you spend writing in an average day or week? Do you have any rituals that help you focus?
When I was first starting to write on here I kept myself on a strict schedule that I've since lapsed on. As of now I average about three days a week and four hours a day. So, about twelve to sixteen hours a week? Now that I've actually thought about it I should probably put more time into it.
As for rituals, a nice playlist of music in the background always helps settle the writing vibes in the right way.
When crafting a piece of fiction, do you generally start with an outline or simply begin writing?
The only outlines I've ever produced are for the novels that I've tried working on. When it comes to anything shorter than that I let the idea ruminate and stir in my head for a day or two before I decide to write it down or not. If it gets past the brainstorming stage I just write it down as fast as I can without worrying too much about it. Being pretty critical of my own ideas most of the time I find that outlines don't really work for me unless I have to keep track of a lot of characters over a long period of time.
Have any of your stories ever involved research? If so, what was involved?
For some of them, definitely. The most research I've ever done was the story about Canada Geese migration patterns. Despite that research I somehow still managed to call them Canadian Geese by mistake. I actually managed to find a couple of scientific papers about the average and top sizes for populations of them and figure out exactly where they end up and where they go.
As for most of the other stories, a little bit of research always goes a long way to making it sound more realistic and believable. Which of course is the backbone of this subreddit :)
In I Closed Twenty Two Doors Today the narrator suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Was the true horror of the story an unknown entity making its way into the narrator's home or panic from a miscount?
Whichever one scares you more.
What inspired the concept of The Thing in Manzanita Hall?
I wanted to make as truly unique of a monster as I could so like any good writer I smashed a bunch of ideas together until something I felt was good came out of it.
I have a bit of a soft spot for stories told from the perspective of someone who finds something they probably shouldn'tve seen. Sinister is a really good example of this type of story and I wanted to make something like it.
Demons make an appearance in many of your stories. Is that a topic that interests or terrifies you?
Definitely more interesting than terrifying.
I feel demons are a great concept to use in place of the more terrifying aspects of humanity. They can be the memories you want to forget. They can be the symptoms of mental illness. They can be the metaphysical concept of infinity given life.
Your work often includes general theological themes, notably in your most popular series, I was dead for six minutes and saw Heaven. I'd rather go to Hell. Why do you think so many people feel religion marries well with horror?
Religion tries to describe concepts so far beyond the realm of mere mortals like us. It tries to describe in words things that are, by definition, indescribable by words. Horror is similar is a lot of ways.
Of course there's also the fact that so many people are terrified of religion in general. A gathering of people sitting in a room once or twice a week getting told about how if they do things that this one book says they'll be given everything they want, but if they deviate from that then they'll be sent to a place of indescribable torture. No room for error and no room for disagreements.
Given that, it's not surprising that it makes such a good horror topic.
You've been involved in several collaborations with different NoSleep authors. Are there any challenges or unexpected benefits in working together with others?
I love doing collaborations. Despite how a lot of people see writers, sitting alone in front of a computer typing to themselves, I'm of the idea that the more cooks baking the pie the better it gets. The more eyes you have looking at it the more opportunities you have to catch mistakes and make your own work better.
The biggest challenge, of course, is keeping a good schedule. Like in any creative endeavour it can be like herding cats, as u/deathbyproxy can attest to when everyone was working on our giant october collab last year with the Skinner Foundation.
You use the name Tim for characters in several of your stories. Are these all the same Tim, or separate Tims? What's the significance behind the name?
I'm not going to lie here. There's no intended significance behind the name and is most likely just a giant coincidence because I've never noticed it myself. Although there was a Tim I met a couple of years ago that is probably one of the worst human beings in existence.
My Aunt is married to a Tim as well though and he's a nice enough guy. So, to answer that question, I have no clue.
Will we ever see more installments of the series about your best friend?
I was intending to write a fourth part for this story, I really was. I even had two separate ideas about how to end it that I got halfway through writing before realizing they just weren't good.
I don't know what it was about this story specifically that I had so much trouble with. And from some of the feedback it seems like some people were just as frustrated by the unintended ending as I was, although the last part I posted still sorta works as an ending so I'm going to leave it as is.
I may end up finishing it at some point but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.
Are there any topics you feel are too controversial for you to address or that you prefer not to explore in your writing?
As for controversial topics, that's hard to say. Horror is meant to push the boundaries and buttons of the people that are reading it in the worst ways. There's a fine line between effective horror and just plain horrifying. As for myself, there are a couple of subjects that I won't mention by name that I'm personally not comfortable talking about. Moreso because I don't have the experiences or knowledge to portray them correctly than out of any fear of offending someone.
What are your feelings toward NoSleep's immersion/believability rule? What impact, if any, do you think the suspension of disbelief format may have when transitioning your work toward a mass audience unfamiliar with NoSleep?
It can be frustrating sometimes when a story gets removed but the believability rule is what makes the subreddit unique. I wouldn't have it removed or changed for any reason, otherwise the sub wouldn't be what it is today. As for transferring to a different audience, I think it'll help out with making a more believable story and characters. There are obvious stories that wouldn't make sense out of the context of nosleep but I think most of them work just fine as standalone pieces.
Do you have any favorite reader reactions to your writing?
I loved pretty much all of the comments for I was dead for six minutes and saw heaven. It was a nice combination of theological discussion and the most amount of discussion about the story of anything I've written. It was really cool to see all of the speculation and discussion about the story and possibilities.
Also, I silvered a comment for a particularly funny joke and he sent me a picture of his pet hedgehog. And it was adorable.
What story or project are you most proud of?
My favorite story I've written is The Lost Ones. I think it's the story where I hit the best balance of 'What the hell is going on' without adventuring too far into the 'This isn't interesting' category.
What's the most valuable lesson you've learned since you began posting to NoSleep?
Not everyone is going to like what you put out. No matter how popular or how successful something is, there are going to be people who hate it and feel the need to let you know. A hard lesson to learn, to be sure, but a necessary one.
You can't please everyone.
As a successful author on NoSleep, do you have any advice for new contributors?
I don't think of myself as that successful but the best advice I can give is to be persistent. Most of the time, in pretty much anything, people end up failing because they stop trying when they hit resistance. The first story I ever posted got about 350 upvotes and was narrated by one of my favorite narrators on Youtube.
The second story got a grand total of five upvotes over a day before I deleted it.
The next couple of stories after that didn't even break fifty.
Persistence is key.
What are your short-term and long-term writing goals?
Short term - Finish editing my goddamn book. I've been taking too long with that. I promise it'll be out before October! There I go setting a hard deadline for myself.
Long Term - Gain the ability to pay rent with my writing
Community Questions:
From PLF__0519TTV: What got you in to horror?
The genre has been around me my entire life so it's kinda hard to pinpoint an exact movie or book that really solidified my interest in the genre. If I had to make a shortlist, it would probably be the Goosebumps books, the movie Alien, and The Stand.
Submitted anonymously: Are there any stories you've wanted to tell that you couldn't due to NoSleep's rules?
Plenty.
Even though my main focus is on the stories I post here I still enjoy writing in other genres that definitely don't fit on Nosleep. I enjoy the worldbuilding aspect of Fantasy and Science Fiction a lot and want to explore that a bit more.
Submitted anonymously: What's your favourite story that you didn't write?
It's a toss up between PenPal, Borrasca, and The Strangest Security Tape I've Ever Seen. All three are great in their own ways and it's hard to pick one over the other two.
From Colourblindness: Your demon possession stories were massively popular. Do you intend to ever return to the concept again?
Definitely. Once I flesh out an overarching story with them a bit more you'll definitely see the Cranberry Ginger Ale swilling meat suit inhabiting immortal concepts again.
Submitted anonymously: Have you ever been to Cawdor or Cawdor Castle?
Unfortunately no, but I would absolutely love to visit it someday.
Submitted anonymously: Is it Canada goose or Canada geese?
Canada Goose if one, Canada Geese if multiple. Just whatever you do don't call them Canadian Geese or else you'll definitely get corrected by angry Canadians.

What's with the bagged milk? WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING US!
Submitted anonymously: If you were able to spend the day with any figure in the horror community (author, director, actor, etc.), who would you choose and why?
Ari Aster (Hereditary and Midsommar).
To start off with, he's one of the few directors or writers living today that's displayed grief on screen so accurately and with such deep understanding. He makes it so goddamn terrifying that it becomes scarier than any possible jumpscare that he could put on screen. It's hard not to be terrified when the feelings are so visceral and real.
From Colourblindness: You participated in a nosleep April fools gag where authors swapped stories to confuse readers. What was the experience like and do you feel like you thoroughly confused yourself and or others?
Mine got removed!
Well, the one I wrote got removed. I didn't realize at the time that alternate reality stories weren't really allowed on the subreddit and wrote something about the Mandela effect that I thought turned out ok. The author that wrote the story that I posted under my name turned out so much better than mine I honestly wish I would've thought of something as absolutely nuts as that.
The entire event was fun and probably pretty confusing from the reader's side of things although I imagine the Mods confused the subreddit a bit more when they temporarily shut down the subreddit.
From ByfelsDisciple: What do you think is your most underrated story? Your most overrated?
I think my most underrated story is The Lost Ones. I spent a lot of time crafting that particular story and hoped it would get a bit more attention than it did.
As for overrated, I would say 19 Reasons why I know there's a monster under my bed. It took me about thirty minutes to write and thought it wouldn't get much attention. I did have fun writing it, of course, and enjoyed it as much as any other story I've written but was quite surprised that it ended up at the top of the page for any amount of time.
Submitted anonymously: If you had to live in the established universe of one of your characters, which would you choose and why?
Let me preface this by saying I wouldn't like to live in any of them (as most of them are terrifying to think about the implications), but if I HAD to choose it would probably be the ones with the demons. Unless you seek them out or screw with them they don't care about you.
Submitted anonymously: Which actor who's played James Bond do you think is most likely to secretly be a serial killer? Which one would you most want to eat cereal with?
I wouldn't be surprised if they find women's skulls on Sean Connery's property after he kicks the bucket.
As for cereal, definitely Timothy Dalton. Mostly for the fact that he seems to actually have a sense of humor about himself (if Hot Fuzz is any indication).
Today paper roll; over or under?
Over. What kind of monster puts it under?
Asmodeus, is that you? If it is could I get a new hellhound? The one you gave me chased a car down when it got out of the backyard and I don't have any more room for bodies.

Does this answer your question?
What fruit do you empathize with most strongly? What fruit fills you with an unbridled fury?
Starfruit is so underrated and delicious and I wish more stores carried it.
Where do you get off just being everywhere, Honeydew? You managed to get yourself in everything and somehow be the worst of whatever you're a part of.
You said we're allowed to ask you anything besides where the bodies are hidden, and we, like, totally respect that. So, uh, hypothetically speaking though, where would you hide bodies if you had to? Just wondering, no reason.
I mean, hypothetically, there's a lot of desert where I live. Hypothetically there's this particular rock that's been spray painted half black just past the city limits sign. Hypothetically, you could turn left at that rock and drive down the dirt road until you reach a wooden sign with "Abandon all hope" written on it. Hypothetically, if you got out of your white pickup truck and walked for a mile due north you might find an abandoned water tank with unmarked crosses along the outside of it. Hypothetically, of course.
If you were to write an installment in the Final Destination franchise, what's the first death scene you would write?
The scene opens with a school trip to Ringling Brothers circus back in the day when they still abused the shit out of lions and elephants. When they bring out the elephant to do it's thing one of the carnies don't lock the cage for the lion all the way and sneaks out into the main performance area. The lion, scared and confused, frightens the elephant to the point that it tries to find the closest exit big enough for it to get out of the big tent, which unfortunately is right through the teachechaperone on the way back to the students and he gets trampled.
On it's way out it knocks down some of the supports and the large tent starts collapsing, causing the crowd to go into even more of a panic. The main character's best friend gets trampled by the crowd but dies just after the escaped lion bites open the jugular of the main character's best friend, leaving to confusion of death order later in the movie. Two of the kids that no one care about die when one of the supports finally collapses and smashes both of them at the same time.
Just as the main character and their love interest look like they are about to get out of the tent alive a stray support rope that was holding up the tent from the outside snaps and smashes the love interest in the face. Just as the main character sees this happen they hear the growl of the escaped lion directly behind them.
