Edgedancer Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm not yet sure on that one. Azrael will want him to, but Accord most likely has other plans. The decision will probably end up being made by the vanilla I'll be introducing, as she's Accord's representative. Eternity himself will most likely wish to join whichever faction Accord doesn't want him to, although his motivations are a little murkier, as you'll (hopefully) see (if I can write what I'm planning well enough). Right. Forgot about that. I'll think one up ASAP. Right, about that representative, which got kind of lost in the discussion about Eternity, but were you planning for her to be gifted powers? Because given the range on those, that might be a bit of a problem. Ah yes, those little details. Talking about details (I'm on a roll aren't I? At least this one is tecnically a positive) it's something I haven't paid that much attention to, given that I'm not all that involved with Salem, but does Abadon have flight?

I was, but she doesn't have to be, for the plot to work. (What exactly is the range limit on Gifting, anyways?) Speaking of little details, does anyone mind if I include little first-person snippets into posts that feature Eternity? Just little couple-sentence things, revealing a touch of relevant backstory/motivation, etc. I'm not always sure how to include things like that without an info-dump, and given my initial concept for the character, I think something like that might work well.

I'm not sure about the exact range but short enough that the gifting Epic would have to be in the same city. I'm not exactly sure why information would require a specific narrator perspective to be conveyed? I guess, if it's a one time thing to introduce the character, it wouldn't interrupt the flow too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) First off, I don't understand how incorporeality lets him fly. I don't think that it is. Just like Abbadon's ability to not be killed while sleeping, it seems like an ability that's tacked-on to make him more powerful/invulnerable, without contributing anything to the character. Because all intangibles in the Reckonerverse have flight, as the power apparently can't arbitrarily make exceptions for the ground, which would be awkward to say the least. Pretty sure Twi refered to the GWAMMER! AND SAPELING! part. Edited May 7, 2016 by Edgedancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, if it's a one time thing to introduce the character, it wouldn't interrupt the flow too much. Alright. All that really matters is that the vanilla has Accord's authority to make agreements and such; if Accord has to formalize them after the fact, that doesn't matter. Mostly because it's information that I'm not sure how to convey without breaking the story's flow; the main reason for the different perspective is to tie back to the WHOOC, and make it obvious that it's a snapshot of Eternity's thoughts looking back. I can scrap it; it'll just mean a little more work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakingamber Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I apologize. Also, thanks for explaining the incorporeality bit, Edge. edit:: I'd also like to extend my apologies to breakingamber. I realize that I've been excessively aggressive when discussing what I saw as problems with your character. That hasn't been conducive towards maintaining a friendly RP environment, and I'm sorry for that. It's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aonar Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just have it as his thoughts. Thoughts are in first person anyway, right? The problem is they're thoughts that are hard to work into the scene in context, but necessary for putting the scene into context, if that makes any sense. I need to wait for a couple people to post in Astoria anyways, so I'll mess around with things a little. (Maybe write them from a different character's perspective.)

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Quick roll call: How many Dalles Epics were on Koschei's side, and how many stayed neutral? Off the top of my head, I know Koschei had….

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 As far as I know, that's everyone who Koschei had with him. I would assume that any other Epics present remained neutral or took advantage of the chaos in one way or another. However, I'm not even entirely sure how many current Dalles Epics were present during Koschei's takeover. I know Dewhickey hadn't become Arsenal yet, but as for Glamour, Edgerunner, and Scribbler (as well as the Slivers), I have no idea. If you have time, would you mind telling me about Haze, Tank, and Rewind? I know very little about them and would love to hear more. Your characters are always awesome. I know Scribbler hadn't gotten her powers yet, and Edgerunner I know was away from the action in one way or another. Quicksilver wasn't aligned with Koschei, and IIRC, he didn't really become a problem for The Dalles until after his death. Glamour wasn't involved, either. Though it seems like Koschei had more Epics working for him…. I plan on going into Rewind in more detail in the RP proper, but I confess I hadn't come up with much backstory on Tank and Haze (the latter especially, since Remington's brother killed him in his first appearance).

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Cool! If you figure out some of those other Epics working for Koschei, would you mind if I wrote takeover posts for them (or maybe the ones that we already know)? I feel like that could work well in conjunction with your next few Koschei flashbacks. Sure. If you want to write some posts for Tank, feel free.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Great! Do you have any information about his personality and powerset that I should know? Y'know, I think that I enjoy having only a single character. It allows me to really focus on Adelmo while also having the time to play around with a variety of characters that other people have left behind. There's a certain allure to introducing my own character, but I also deeply enjoy what I'm able to do now. Not really. He was a strength Epic, who didn't so much as bat an eye when Koschei slit a toddler's throat, so he was pretty calloused. Other than that, I didn't really even give him a physical description, so that's all open to interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify Scribbler got them during (Very near the end) of Koschei's reign but she had no access to ink so she couldn't use her powers til after she was released.

My thought is that she's been very smug, very secure. She's known everything that's been going on, so she's been able to afford to be magnanimous. Having her rules flouted to begin with? That was bad. Having one of the most powerful epics in that location call up and say "Hey, I totes caught the guy responsible"? Time for the paranoia.

breakingamber Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I admit to mostly being confused. Since when could he blow up people with a touch? That does seem just a bit OP. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Vanilla, 10 being Corpsemaker, CF would be a 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhoof Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) I don't think the power itself is OP- he needs to touch them, and presumably it is weaker against Epics, but i too dont recall him actually having the power at all aha Edited May 9, 2016 by Blackhoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
