[ THE CHIPS: DNW ]

[posthumansmods]

THE CHIPS: CAN IT GO?

So, you have been chipped. Painfully. Even so, some of you can and will try to get it out or screw with it...but there are consequences to things like this. For mod ease, we ask that you comment here when you want to do something that will destroy the chip---whether or not it is successful.

Copy/paste the form, fill it out, and ask questions if need be!

Things that can immediately put you on this list: natural immunities that would attack the chip (i.e. Tony Stark's Extremis), being able to go on fire (goddammit, you Torch people), or thick/impenetrable skin.

Further information (updated Sept 2010) found here.

As of June 13, 2011 chipping has been disabled. All chips have been rendered inert. More information is located here.

[ascending_angel]

How would it be affected by shapeshifters? In Mystique's case, she can move around her molecules at will, and in Warren's case, his muscles AND skin became bigger, harder, and thick/durable when he 'shifts.

Also, they both have healing factors, and especially in Warren's case his body will force out anything that's invasive. Even healers can't heal him SO I HAVE BEEN A BIT CONFUSED about the way the chip would work/stay in both of these characters. Would it stay in and malfunction? Would it break? Could it be healed out? Could the shapeshifting destroy it? etc. etc.

And another question since I play two fliers: how far up in the sky can they fly before the chip would activate?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

When the chip leaves the body/is affected, it will register as such. I think that it would survive Warren's shifting, but not Mystique's. It's durable because it was made to combat most known mutations---and in the Marvel U, everyone and their mother has a healing factor---but some of the more robust/odd ones can destroy it.

Tampering with it/shifting will initiate the electrocution, though. And I'd say that they could fly at their max heights before it triggers, but space is right out.

[idateforsupper]

I have to echo what Kris said. Laura also has a VERY strong healing factor, so how would that be effected? She's able to heal bullets out of her skin, so yeah.

If not, she'll want to cut it out, and I'd like to work something out about that eventually.

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

As I said in the above response, it is made to combat healing factors since everyone and their dog in the MU has a healing factor. It digs in deeper if the healing factor kicks in...but cutting it out would destroy it, definitely.

[germanblues.livejournal.com]

Hrm. Sort of on the whole healing factor topic, I didn't really think mucha bout it before, but since the thread's here, I"ll ask. Schwarz' nanotechnology's made to recover, adapt, and evolve. It doesn't work so well on a personal basis (else he'd get denser the more he'd get smacked around. Or maybe even find a way to be water proof --THANKS WARREN), but wasn't sure if the chip, being a foreign object at all, would trigger the nanotech's programming. The most I could think of is it being attacked like a foreign body, but I'm not sure how resilient the chip would be to it being attached by other technology (as opposed to you saying it's resilient to healing factors).


Sorry if this makes no sense, but I have a headcold the size of Montana right now and I'm barely recalling my name. So yeah, a thought or three for mods to ponder!

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

This seems like a similar problem to Tony Stark's---his internal nanotech disassembled the chip, mostly beyond his control. The chip is actually fairly resistant, but not against StarkTech (for future plot reasons). I would say that Schwarz would be able to take it apart if you'd like to pursue that.

Okay, so it has been established that people that can spontaneously combust can melt the chip. What about people that can survive being set on fire? Or people that could potentially melt/short/damage the chip with any other type of energy like/other than fire?

Karla here can absorb and redirect large amounts of energy. Her powers make it so that she can survive explosions, fires, and energy attacks (yet, for some reason, not bullets of knives).

Would she be able to short out the chip somehow by either overwhelming it with energy or somehow being set on fire? Or does it have to be a total molecular immolation to melt them?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

The reason the chip fails for fire-based people is that they are setting their actual molecules on fire. In the case of, say, Toro, he is fire when he is on fire. His lowest point of heat is 780 F, but can climb up to the heat-pulse of a nuclear warhead detonation. So, not a lot can survive that kind of heat/energy expenditure. I think that it would be possible for her to overwhelm or short out the chip, but it would take a great deal of energy. I might say that it would be possible during an attack, rather than something she could do on her own? Either way, yes, it is possible---but difficult.

fgdhdfghk that should be "cleavagearrow" not "journal"

[wasaflowerchild.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure whether or not Karolina should be on here, considering her powers. She's not lighting herself on fire but...alien physiology and solar energy? I don't know, it's up to you guys.

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

I would say that it probably wouldn't be affected by her solar energy, as we haven't seen it be hugely offensive or high heat.

[wasinnocent]

I should have asked this sooner, but, do the capekillers or whoever, have fairly advanced weapons? Like armor piercing ammo and things that could hurt someone with semi-tough skin? Charis is not even close to Supergirl level of invulnerability, but she has thick/durable skin. It takes armor piercing rounds to hurt her. Is it cool to assume they have ways to hurt her/get the chip in?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

They definitely do have armor piercing rounds and fabulous gadgets we have yet to see. They will be able to get the chip in her.

[ultimatethunder.livejournal.com]

Okay so. Thor's pretty much a battery for electrical power. How much power surge can the chip take before it shorts out? Is it possible for him to do so by accident or could it be a focused effort to do so?

Also, how effective would the chip be at generating pain at a level to discourage him from leaping around?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

The sheer voltage that Thor can produce is enough to short out the chip. It's rugged, but it isn't impossible to beat. High heat and incredibly high voltage shocks are enough to kick it out. He'll be added to the list!

[im-good-now.livejournal.com]

Zuko doesn't light himself on fire much like Torch-people would but there are plenty of examples in canon in which he can warm up his body to pretty high temperatures. Considering that he's been doing a lot of campfire lighting, would it interfere with his chip?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

The fire people literally incinerate the chips, since their body temperature's "normal" plasma setting is 780 degrees Fahrenheit. If you think that his body gets around that heat for extended periods, he may be in danger of affecting the chip.

So, what about EMP? I'm sort of assuming that would just...make things worse.

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it definitely would just make things worse. And beyond that, it would not disable the chip. The maker safeguarded against that specifically, since he'd had problems with that in the past.

[wentonabender.livejournal.com]

Question! It's been shown in SPN canon that Castiel's vessel is pretty much totally immune to being damaged by anything but another angel (at least at the point in time I've taken him from). Does that mean that if he got the chip out, the wound would heal?

Just want to double-check... pretty sure Supes is invulnerable enough that chipping him wouldn't have worked too terribly well. Am I correct in that assumption?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

Yes, his invulnerability probably kept the chip out of him. He'll be added to the list!

Because I'm too lazy to log out

[bestdamncaptain.livejournal.com]

Since this wasn't up/an option when I brought Kara in, I made up a way for her chip to be in. But with Supes here I was wondering if he could fry it with his heat vision. Like... shoot into her arm and melt it?

[posthumansmods.livejournal.com]

This is perfectly acceptable!
