Talk:Esper/@comment-71.163.139.221-20140918082245

Here's a comment thread where you can post what kind of Esper power you could come up with, whether it would be practical or maybe just plain OP and what restrictions you'd put on how it could be used. Also, feel free to discuss your opinions on each other's, as well as my, ideas, and maybe add on or attempt to refine them, as I fully understand and accept that not all observations are perfect and are up for debate.

IMC(warning! Wall of text inbound), I think someone who could control the four fundamental forces of the universe, and maybe with it an added function of complete elementary particle manipulation, would be on a much greater scale of danger than Accelerator.

Think about it:

The first fundamental force is gravity. The practicality of it would be that you can easily move objects of any weight by eliminating the gravity of the isolated object and you personally can essentially move in total freedom. The danger in battle against it, basically, you, the opponent, have the choice of either floating to space or being flattened into a bloody puddle. The second force is Strong interaction, which controls the bonding of the atom's nucleus and its particles. At the atomic scale, the strength of the bond is immense but weak compared to a larger mass such as us. Now, take the atomic strength of this force and bolster it to the perspective of it being inflicted at the size of a human. We're talking about giving a bonding force control, usually over 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force, 1 mil times stronger than its weaker counterpart and 10 to the 39th stronger than the force of gravity, to a growing human. Combined with the complete control of elementary particles, or even just larger particles in general, and you can create and destroy anything you choose to. It's self explanatory how practical and dangerous it is; the manipulation of the force alone without the particle control is enough to put the fear of god in any enemy, plus you can't hurt the wielder, as they just have to dispel any weapon used against them, up close or at a distance, physical or not. The 3rd force is Weak Interaction, which controls the radioactive decay and nuclear fusion of subatomic particles. Personally, I dunno how this force can be manipulated, but it most likely can follow the road of its stronger counterpart. You could possibly be immortal if you don't allow your body's particles to decay, you can accelerate any other object's decay, plus you can do mass nuclear fusion at will, in essence becoming a human energy pool. Lastly, the 4th force is electromagnetic force, which controls ALL electromagnetism present in matter. Yes, similarly to the strong force, electromagnetism is another glue for the larger particles. Also, you aren't limited as a pure Electromaster, who controls just the flow of pure electrons as electricity and how it affects the world because of that control. You'd have control over the forces that determine the internal functions of ordinary objects, all the way down to how their atom's electrical structure works. You'd possibly even have control over the whole Electromagnetic spectrum, despite the name implying that one with this power could indeed control it. In other words, you can control how lightning works, how visible light works, etc.

Summing it all up, and as much as this is gonna disturb people for me to say this since it disturbs me greatly too, but one with this Esper power if they reached level 5, or even at lower levels, they could play the role of God, or be a plain human god of destruction. Since physics mostly, or even completely, rely on the 4 fundamental forces, Accelerator's vector manipulation most likely would fail, as all the other Esper has to do is simply impose a will of one of the forces to dispel those rocks, beams, even the plasma he could throw with kinetic energy, and who knows what else that could be done by either side. This is considering no restrictions are applied to the control, such as Accelerator's need to come in contact with. Against Touma and his IB and his plain misfortune against him and his enemies, a simple material poof and he'd be gone, or a gravitational squash and he's a puddle, or even let him fly far far away with no return. The electromagnetic force wouldn't do much good, we've seen what he's done against Mikoto and Accelerator, though the dodges from the metal beams, containers, rocks, and explosion were his good dodging.

As for the restrictions in it, I'd think the Esper has to see the target and look at it to use their power on it/them, as well as great focus, but like accelerator can make various barriers around himself, so could the Esper, but up to lvl 5 it requires total focus on defense to keep a barrier that dispels attacks up and at level 5 it requires at least half of one's total focus to create a decent barrier of sorts.
