TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Unrelated: remember ? "September," the post-apocalyptic pony fan song?Firefight / September spoilers: I just realized it's applicable for an Epic who's just waking up from his Rending. Yes. One of mine in particular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes. One of mine in particular. I'm pretty sure I know which one. Though that reminds me of a question I've been wanting to ask. Did Quota have a Rending, or is he not powerful enough to have experienced one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Quota have a Rending, or is he not powerful enough to have experienced one? I'm not entirely sure. What do you guys think? Do you think Quota is powerful enough for that, or would he have had to make do with faking one? (Because if he didn't have a Rending, he would've gone on a rampage anyway just so no other Epic could say they did something he didn't--and so he could brag about remembering it. No, I haven't changed my mind about killing him. Don't worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he strikes me as the type who'd go on an immediate rampage upon receiving his powers. Can he affect multiple targets at once? Theoretically, could he affect an entire crowd a la the Lord Ruler? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not weak enough that it'd be impossible but also probably not strong enough that it'd be a certainty, I think he could go either way so really just whatever works best for his backstory would be my vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he strikes me as the type who'd go on an immediate rampage upon receiving his powers. Can he affect multiple targets at once? Theoretically, could he affect an entire crowd a la the Lord Ruler? He could affect those closest to him the strongest. However, if he chose to try and reach the entire crowd, his effect would be greatly diminished; i.e., rather than pushing everyone to suicidal despair, he would more make them all feel rather melancholy. He's certainly not weak enough that it'd be impossible but also probably not strong enough that it'd be a certainty, I think he could go either way so really just whatever works best for his backstory would be my vote. Probably a smallish one, then—though it wouldn't be out of character for him to keep going long after the initial effects wore off. In other words, he'd wake up and instead of saying "What happened—wait, did I kill people?" he'd be more "Woah—I killed people? Yeah! Who's up for Round 2?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not right for that part at all. I mean, he can pull off "wimpy kid with a magic transforming car," but "homicidal Epic who pushes people to suicidal despair while drinking lattes?" Can't see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible Oregon casting: Shia LeBeauf as Quota Will Ferrel as Lightwards Ben Affleck as Nighthound Kristen Stewart as Funtimes Jonah Hill as Big Al No offence to any individual actors or actresses, but I personally think any of those castings would be awful enough to awaken Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos to destroy the cosmos out of sheer disgust.

Really, Kobold? Really? You take the most expressive Epic in Oregon and cast the only actress with two standard facial expressions? Just for that, I vote we cast Nicolas Cage as Aldo the Enigmatic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pattinson (or, as Honest Trailers calls him, Shovel Face) is Nathan, with Stewart (Just Smelled Poop Face) as Funtimes, would that be a gender-reversal of their relationship in Twilight, with Stewart playing the homicidal love interest and Pattinson playing her vastly underpowered love interest? And would Hollywood call it feminism? Edited March 7, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she does the personality duality thing pretty well but I don't know how she'd do for the really creepy side of NT, I'm really struggling to think of people for characters, my minor characters are easier because I haven't fleshed them out very much but any of the bigger characters are hard to think of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wait.

And would Hollywood call it feminism? Simple trick; in any relationship with a "dominant" or "progressive" woman as the female half, gender flip the couple. If the woman's constant put-downs or domineering personality become suddenly creepy from a smirking Nighthound, then the relationship probably wasn't half as healthy as Hollywood thought it was.

Which one did you want? I still have Neverthere riding on the dinosaur. That could make a good file. (I don't dare do Metronome. I don't think I could do him justice. ) The only character I have that I actually had an actor in mind for is Vondra, with Stephen Lang as his Hollywood double. I simply can't imagine any of the others as a specific actor or actress. Even Vondra's begun to separate himself from Lang in my mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he have idolized a pitiful man like Jonathan Phaedrus if he'd known METRONOME existed? (Have you made an Adventurer pony yet?) You're welcome. From the files of David Charleston: Metronome was an Epic with a single power: the ability to always know what time it was. No name was ever given to this power. Apparently, his DNA is the reason why Reckoner clocks are always so accurate. If not for the motivator they made, no Reckoner could ever be fully certain if their clock was on the dot, or a second or two off. At least, that's the rumor they spread. Tia said they didn't want him to feel bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never would have bothered making any hits on Epics, they would have known it was only a matter of time until they all fell before the great Metronome!
