Just for fun: If we didn't have our self-imposed limits
Just for fun: If we didn't have our self-imposed limits
#1
We've all agreed to the setting rules. We've also agreed that no one character can do everything allowed by the setting rules - or, for that matter, everything that would be convenient for that character. The meta reason is that being able to do everything is boring from a story perspective (ref. "http://allthetropes.org/wiki/So_You_Wa ... a_Mary_Sue]So You Want To/Avoid Writing a Mary Sue").

But what if each character could do everything in his, her, or its field that's allowed by the setting rules?

This could lead to some serious power escalation - and some serious character clashes. But it could also lead to some fun...

Exhibit A: Noah Scott can build any android, not just meganekko based on fictional characters. "Hello, I'm the vice-president of Stellvia Corporation, these are my bodyguards, and I'm here to discuss that merger you seem to not want."

Any more?
