Talk:Draph

Draph was in Istory

Draph was the crossover of Slow Burn 706. He was the character on the cover of the istory. He is legitmate and should be put in the main namespace. Moreover, he was listed as a wanted character.

WTF?

Am I the only one who finds this character to be (putting it politely) out of place? Not to discredit the creator, but the iStory writers really should not have put this character into the story. -- Psilaq R.- \m/ -_- \m/- 17:50, 4 November 2009 (EST)

I don't get it

If there's already a mimic in the carnival, why would Samuel want Peter or Sylar? AltesUTC CH

• Draph isn't from the carnival. Or is he? I don't follow the iStories, all I know about them is what I see in the articles here. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:13, 5 November 2009 (EST)
  • Oops, my bad, he really isn't... But he's friends with Josh Davis and Chris Bowman, he's pretty close to being noticed by Samuel and then recruited. AltesUTC CH

Gammar

As you all know gammar is not my strong point and that I write that most of you feel is not needed but shouldn't a serial comma should go in after ability, as it is talking about two abilities, rather than Claircognizance being a power mimicry. "Senna then realized that he knew claircognizance was his ability, and that he had inherited some sort of power mimicry."[50000JH 16:06, 6 November 2009 (EST)]

• I don't believe a comma is necessary there.

Claircognizance and "the power mimicry" are 2 different abilities.[50000JH 15:58, 7 November 2009 (EST)]

Canonicity versus Fan Creation

I think that we need to make a point of only including information relayed as part of the iStory as being canon (particularly because any aspect of the Heroes: Survival site can be changed at any time). Only the information presented by the writers themselves is technically canon. --Ricard Desi (t,c) 23:09, 8 November 2009 (EST)

• Totally agree. daevon 23:25, 8 November 2009 (EST)
  • The head honcho, RGS, has been to the Draph page, at least a few times, and everything that is there is alright to be there. Draphoenix 11:41, 9 November 2009 (EST)

Sketches

Aren't the "elements" that classify Draph's abilities a little sketchy? Air is defined as "invisible interactions with matter and things". The issue I have with this (besides "things" being essentially a less scientific word for "matter") is that telekinesis is placed under it, but it could also arguably be placed under fire, which is defined as "energy manipulation/generation". Telekinesis cannot be seen (thus being invisible), making it air, but also generates kinetic energy outside of the body, making it fire. Water is defined as "enhancing the innate capabilities of one's brain", but to me, water is well.... water. Phoenix mimicry makes sense under fire and it's a slight strech to put telekinesis under air (for the aforementioned reasons and others), telepathy makes little sense being placed under water. Also, the page mentions that his abilities are in accordance with classical elements, but I've never heard of the "void" element. I know the character is permanent but is it possible to redefine the elements we have for his powers?

Also, as a note to the user that created Draph, I have no issue with the character himself, I don't really have an issue with his abilities either, it's just the way the origins and details of his abilities are explained that gets to me. The whole "he has claircognizance but also ability replication that's really not ability replication but something else closely related because of an emotional connection with his unborn fetal twin as well as having six different names" sounds a little ridiculous if read aloud.--PJDEP 02:31, 22 November 2009 (EST)
