Editing Licit (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Licit could create forcefields in geometric shapes, remaining aware of them to an almost clairvoyant level.<ref name="list">Licit '''Creates solid shape forcefields (prisms, cyinders, cubes) within a short range, clairvoyance around fields, can allow/disallow access through on case-by-case basis.''' -
 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pgn9rgYutpBqJg1lSBP3NHnq9WK4ToLq9K4ys_I4cRc/edit#gid=0 Wildbow's Parahuman List]</ref> He could individually choose what could pass through his forcefields,<ref name="WoW"/> he can walk through his own forcefields easily.<ref name="Eclipse6">[[Eclipse x.6]]</ref> Sufficiently powerful hits could shatter the fields.<ref name="playtest" />

While he was potent defensively and strategically, his low range and lack of offensive applications hinder him,<ref name="WoW"/> as his forcefields often appeared in shapes like pyramids, diamonds, cubes, spheres, and cylinders.<ref name="playtest"/> He can turn some of these shapes into sharp points by manipulating how these shapes are expressed.<ref name="Eclipse6"/>

The range within which he can create forcefields is listed as either line-of-sight<ref name="playtest" /> or twenty feet.<ref name="WoW">Licit creates shaped forcefields and remains aware of them in a very Taylor-like way. S/he (can't remember) can allow permission through the forcefield on a case-by-case basis. He's potent defensively and strategically, but the range isn't all that (~20 feet) and the forcefields generally come together in very solid forms that aren't that offensive or good for capture - pyramids, diamonds or cubes.<br><br>Edict and Licit had training with the Protectorate and issues came up. They backed off and haven't pursued Protectorate training or advancement further - only related to the Protectorate in the most tertiary way at this point. They work well as a team, but Edict has an unrequited love for her partner and Licit is stuck with two very young kids (stemming from a teen pregnancy) to raise, making patrols and general cape life hard. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15078112/ Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref>

He has a relatively low power rating,<ref name="16.x">“Three.  Nothing notable.  Edict and Licit, a low-rated master and a low-rated shaker.  We also have one villainess who occasionally tries to make it in one of the big cities and then retreats back home when she can’t cut it.  Calls herself Damsel of Distress.” -  [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/interlude-16-donation-bonus-2/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 16.y]]</ref> Whether this is due to his powers' lack of effectiveness or his own lack of creativity is unknown.<ref name="8.5 c1">The actual number rating depends on the impact/strength of the power, obviously. It’s perhaps an oversight, perhaps a deliberate action (or some combination of the two) that versatility of a power isn’t counted unless it’s explicit – and Taylor’s isn’t. An example on how this could be deliberate: a PRT squad that moves in on a situation with notice to expect a, say, Shaker-3 that was rated a three only because he’s too much of a dumbass to use his powers to their full potential? They could be really screwed if said Shaker-3 had a fit of inspiration or some guidance/orders from someone that knew what they were doing. So dumbass gets rated a Shaker-5. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/#comment-59978 Comment] on [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref>
