ATTN: ALL PLAYERS

As of this week, Sunday, November 20th - Saturday, November 26th, all those being held within the Peace Patrol Prison will be outfitted with power-restraining collars. (Pending they actually have powers, you know, details.) These collars do not undo the effects of powers, do not uncreate these powers, but do the following: prevent those powers from being used on other people/characters/the environment.

Powers have essentially been capped, bringing all villains to the level of "average human" as far as general capabilities. It doesn't alter mentalities, if part of their physiology requires X and Y to persist, this still holds true.

This is not a perfect solution ICly! Measures are still being researched, ICly, as to how to stop convicted villains from injuring/harming/committing acts of mental or physical violence against others. These collars stop villains from using their powers on other people. The collective group working on it (spearheaded by Felix, Eleven and Ray assisting on the tech end of things, Felix the mastermind behind magic, research, and probably also sliced bread) has been taking time technically talking to casts or doing research in order to make these collars effective per each character.

This is the pat happy reason for why it's taken so long, etc.

As a consequence: all future villains caught and convicted by the Peace Patrol will be outfitted with a similar collar up to and until such a point as another means is worked out.


On another note: Sakura is still the public face for all of this. All flak for the prison break, the fact this happened right before the collars were ready, that she held the remaining trials behind closed doors and only with a judge and evidence laid out and argued for and against, that can and should be held against her or examined.

Any questions, please ask me here, in AIM @ shadhahvar, or on plurk if you have me there. Also I have an email address, which only eats emails once in a blue moon! You can find it on the contacts page.

Edit: This means all prisoners outfitted with collars are released back into the population by next Sunday. They should be monitored and tracked by the Peace Patrol, but theory and actuality are often two different beasts of burden.

Hmm, yeah, I see what you're saying.

Well, the collars have already been made -- but since the prisoners aren't supposed to be released until Sunday, that leaves time for someone to ICly say, "hey, this is a thing that we want to do" and then have residents go "um no". Since I'm sure there'll be plenty of characters who will be oppose to it, I think it's possible to head it off there instead of ... having characters walk around and suddenly seeing Legato walking around too. Does that make sense?

I got a question with the collars already being made, which is slightly fandom specific.

Since it sounds like the majority of people have not heard of these collars- how can the collars be created to 100% legitimately block all powers despite fandom? I mean in regards to Tyki as an example (though this problem applies to a few of the other villains) - the only known thing to stop his phasing skill is with Innocence or something of it's equivalent.

Did they use some sort of substitute and/or talk to Cross about this slight dilemma? Since I know Allen was never approached about it. Even if you might be fandom savvy- the characters aren't. So I find it a bit weird that no characters outside this small group were ever consulted about their particular villains.
