That wasn't exactly what I meant be effect on psyche. Although, the fact that it'll initially still hurt like hell will be enough discouragement for most folks. What I meant was, if it's able to add such an 'inertia' to a person's appearance, can it add an inertia to their personality and emotional state, making it harder for them to change. The end result being something like the eternal pulp-heroes who go for decades without any real character growth. But that's not as good an idea as it seemed back in the pub.
This is a better idea . Does anyone remember that episode of Cowboy Bebop? Or the Green Mile? On it's own, that does sound like a unique kind of hell.
It takes your hopes and desires, washes them around your fears, dries them with a few ideas right at the forefront of your mind, then irons it all according to the phases of the moons of Saturn. And because, if it's humorous, people might be able to deal with it better.
Do you want to write that? Because washed through foul-mouthed Kidd, it's making me giggle away here to myself just thinking about it.
Come to think of it, in a lot of ways Jet and A.C. are the opposites of each other. I suppose it's a good thing Jet's outside the usual comic-book superhero fandom.

Quote:However, that one is never-changing would have an effect, as one's unbiomodded friends grow older and older, and even a sibling starts being mistaken for your parent. Again, look up above at the idea of Handwavium having a sense of humor...

There's a reason some people take great care with their Handwavium. They've seen the sort of "sense of humor" it appears to have, being a memetic substance. No one wants to be on the brunt end of one of those practical jokes. (In some of his poorer moments the first year or two after his biomod, Jeph Antilles admitted that he felt like he was the victim of a really bad prank on the part of someone.)
