endgame plotting.


So now that you've read the gdoc and have an idea of what is presently planned for endgame, it's likely you have ideas and plotting you'd like to do -- we'd recommend putting proposals for player plots down below, as well as detailing your character's abilities and what they can do for endgame or what you'd like them to do for endgame. We recommend being as thorough as you can be when discussing this, and keeping an open communication line with your fellow players; this will help make endgame as smooth as possible as well as ensure that you get to participate as much as you want.

This is the post where we'd like you all to communicate and plot together -- revived players, surviving players, and players coming in as Nuwa-goers, this post is for you to get together and discuss everything you'd like to do. If you have a player plot, please top level with it and discuss it with the game. Feel free to top level about anything. For right now, we have some things to hopefully help everyone's creative juices get flowing, but treat this as a sign up post, too. If you see a player plot you want in on, respond! Talk! See where things can go! This is your time to shine, and the characters' time to impact the game; none of this is possible with you. You guys have shown us that you're amazingly creative and deserve to run the show here, so please, take it and run with it.

Tears (from the Bioshock Wiki)
Elizabeth is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to manipulate Tears, contingencies within the space-time continuum that show possible scenarios which, if tampered with, can enact themselves within Columbia or any universe in particular. Elizabeth is the only person known to be capable of controlling these Tears naturally, and can exploit them to summon objects such as weapons, ammunition or parts of the scenery, as well as living beings. She can also use these Tears to travel through time and space and so is able to transport herself and Booker to other time periods and realities. Another use for the Tears is to merge different realities together, though doing this is stressful. However, her control over her powers is limited by a long distance restraining device called the Siphon, preventing her from transporting herself out of Columbia.

I'm going to say that being powered (and possibly amplified by Yuno), she has better control with her tears than from her original canonpoint - this allows her to have more control on the destination than early canon point Elizabeth.
