Editing String Theory (section)

==Abilities and Powers ==
String Theory is a [[Tinker]] similar to [[Leet]] in that she has very few limits or specialty restrictions on what she can build. Her creations worked on a countdown timer from the moment construction began, requiring careful time management and sufficient resources in order to achieve the best results. When the conditions of time or resources weren't met, her creations would backfire.<ref name="SB44">String Theory is like Leet, with few limits or specialty restrictions, but her stuff has a ticking countdown timer from the moment she starts constructing it. All about time management and having the funds/resources on hand.<br /><br />Want to freeze the Earth's oceans? Maybe doable, but it's going to take a lot of rare/valuable resources, three months of steady work, and it's going to happen 1 week and seven hours after the job's complete. Fuck up, don't have the materials, or lose track of schedule? Get out of dodge, backfire incoming.<br /><br />Except she leveraged the resources from initial threats/ransoms to ramp up and didn't stop until the authorities came down on her head. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/13678115/ Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref><ref name="27.4" />

She claimed to be able to work extremely rapidly as a result of having had four years to design new technology in her head while imprisoned.<ref name=":0" /> As a result, she was able to complete the G-driver within the span of only forty-three minutes.<ref name=":43">“We attack in… thirty-nine minutes.  Time things for forty seven minutes from now.  Most of the combatants will be cleared from the field by then, and the rest can move to safety before you put your work to use.”<br><br>String Theory nodded slowly, “You’ll hold out for eight minutes after the initial offense?”<br><br>Defiant paused.  “Make it forty-three minutes from now.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11/interlude-10-y/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref> This was later expounded upon to be due to loaned time manipulator capes and her construction of specialized drones to do the construction for her.<ref name="time">“You’re not working at all.  We barely have time.”<br><br>“They found a way to give us time.  Time manipulators have been allotted to each of us.  If we can give a convincing elevator pitch.”<br><br>[...]“Shouldn’t you be building something impractically large?”<br><br>“I set my servos to build.  Tools in motion, engines heating up.  I’ll go back in… two minutes and thirty one seconds.  But I ''clearly'' need to make fun of you before then.  What can you even do with that?” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11/interlude-10-y/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref>

Her Driver weapons were extraordinarily powerful, capable of significantly injuring and even potentially killing [[Endbringers]]. As a result, the Endbringers coordinated their appearances so they would never face her devices in combat.<ref name="R93">Not going to happen in any incarnation of the Wormverse, or Behemoth would be built stronger to counteract (Or, as in the case of String Theory, Endbringer cooperation/timing would keep her from ever being able to set up a proper hit). - [https://www.reddit.com/comments/49fd14/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

===F-driver ===
The F-driver, short for "Firmament-driver," was a powerful weapon created by String Theory. Not much else is known about the weapon other than that String Theory threatened to use it to knock the moon out of orbit.<ref name="27.4BG" />

=== G-driver===
The G-driver was a weapon designed for combating [[Scion]]. It was an upgrade of the F-driver, hence its name G-driver. The name was also meant to stand for "God-driver."<ref name="27.4BG" />

The G-driver was operated remotely from a laptop during the [[oil-rig battle]]. It fired at Scion through one of [[Doormaker]]'s portals, and targeting was further refined from the laptop using coordinates provided by [[Number Man]]. Due to the mechanics of String Theory's power, the firing time could not be changed and was set down to the second.

In operation, the G-driver's payload shot a beam that resembled a bug zapper. The shot was able to fling Scion out of the atmosphere, although it failed to damage him in any meaningful way.<ref name="27.4">[[Extinction 27.4]]</ref> The G-driver was incredibly destructive, being shown to destroy an area of a city a fifth of a mile wide with a single shot, pulverizing the buildings into small chunks.<ref>An area of the city a fifth of a mile wide and a mile long was pulverized.  Buildings were driven into ground, and broke into chunks no larger than a human head.  The wavelength of the beam let those chunks lift up for a fraction of a second before the next wave of the beam thrust them down again with the same force as before.<br><br>The Simurgh was almost, ''almost'' out of the path of the beam.  He clipped her, and she reoriented, pulling out of the way even as she was hurled back and down.<br><br>Much of the lower body she had been building broke away from the force of the impact.  A wing shattered.  The remainder was lost in the plume of smoke that rose from the tract of land he had blasted.<br><br>Dauntless, too, was in the path of the beam.  He had his shield, and he was rooted into the ground in a way that resisted being thrust away with the kind of power that could push a moon out of orbit, but the grazing hit still demolished one of his arms, tore out a chunk of the Titan’s side. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/28/last-20-a/ Excerpt] from [[Last 20.a]]</ref>
