Master Elodin Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Little Homie? But I had no plans to give Nathan any Epic powers. Who is Little Homie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Who is Little Homie? Are you okay with language, violence, and a twisted sense of humor? The video I'm referencing has all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I see. I can give you the name of the video—I personally enjoyed it and am more than happy to share—but I just wanted to warn you up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sure, what's it called? "Lil' Homie" by Key and Peele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Randm character concept, which I'm pitching more to see if anyone has done it yet? I think there are shades of it in Nathan, but maybe not exactly the same... Basically, an epic con man. As in, a con man who pretends to be an epic. Think Jack Harkness, way back he was introduced; a grifter, drifter and all-around malcontent, faking epic powers to get a leg-up on things. Usual M.O, of course, would be to roll into town, get what he wants and et outta dodge before he has to actually back his claims up (which... might not work for an RPG), but... figured I'd run the idea by ya'all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhoof Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Haha he sounds very amusing there are indeed shades of him in Nathan, and people have suggested some characters with motivators who pretend to be epics I think, but none exactly like that. He could be an amusing part-time character Or goes to Corvallis and gets trapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Sounds interesting. How would he fake Epic powers? He probably needs something flashy, at the least, to make sure people believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakingamber Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 He's Knighthawk! On a different topic, here's a timeline: David's birth:2005 Day of Annexation/David is 8!: 2013 RP: 2018 It would take about 1 year for Steelheart, after taking Chicago, to cement his rule. Then, he would have 4 years for Conflux to actively power the city. So: 2018! It would take about that long for people to consider Steelheart as feared as Night's Sorrow or Obliteration.

Blackhoof Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Actually, Steelheart is set in 2023 (ten years after annexation). The RP is two years before that, so 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that actually written down somewhere? That's as great as a blind man pissing during an earthquake.

He could be an amusing part-time character Or goes to Corvallis and gets trapped Only way I can think of that working would be to have him drift between RP topics. But I'm also pretty sure the only way his story can end is in him getting locked down in one ()probably Corvalis or Astoria), outted, and then lynched by angry epics and/or vanilla's. Sounds interesting. How would he fake Epic powers? He probably needs something flashy, at the least, to make sure people believe him. I'm more of an "ideas" guy. Practical things like "how does this work" aren't precisely my forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Well, technically his Rending should have ended last night, so it's more that death for him is just so easy. He doesn't have to revive, he doesn't come in a burst of flame or an explosion, he just goes to a "peaceful" place with Calamity and then he's back in his fully healed body. Did we ever get a hard limit on how long Rendings go? I mean otherwise it doesn't really matter if he has some hallucinations of a place that doesn't exsist, he still dies.

I mean otherwise it doesn't really matter if he has some hallucinations of a place that doesn't exsist, he still dies. I guess we could factor in the negation of death-related trauma as one of the quirks of his power. Like Deathwish not feeling pain when his damage reflection kicks in or Lucentia not flinching when she's shot in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Elodin Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 By the way, I was thinking about Night's Sorrow and maybe it could be someone really close to Nighthound who he gifted before he died. Then she goes on a killing/destruction spree. She might need to have other powers as well, but I think that might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 On another note entirely... it's Earth Day!

Fatebreaker Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 You know Kobold, I'm not sure what I expected this earth day, but a ponified version of a fictional character congratulating me on helping to depopulate the world was certainly not one of them.

mail-mi Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) So: 2018! That is...quite a large number. Did we ever get a hard limit on how long Rendings go? I mean otherwise it doesn't really matter if he has some hallucinations of a place that doesn't exsist, he still dies. I guess we could factor in the negation of death-related trauma as one of the quirks of his power.
