It actually comes from another Branderson thing, where I coined the term Synergized Investiture Circuit for a thing done with actual Nicrobursts or Ettmetal. I realized that the Reckonerverse is all about brevity, so I took of the first two words. Plus, Investiture wasn't really applicable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Young Pyromancer Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) I find it funny that the summary said Nicroburst's location is a well-sought-after secret, yet literally no one has been searching for him, or even expressed any motive to! I mean, Epoch's laid back, Typhon's Typhon, Armageddon doesn't know anything, we know nothing about the MEC because Voidus is gone and I doubt they would seek him out anyways, Orbit is busy running his criminal operation, and everyone else is either new or neutral. I mean, I guess Doubletake could have been looking for him, but one faction doesn't really count as "well-sought-after" in my opinion. There is literally no mention of him in-thread, or any reason why anyone would want to find him. EDIT: Epic ability activate!

The Young Pyromancer Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) So one faction, maybe two. My point stands. Also, Voidus, can you introduce upgrade? Edited August 12, 2018 by The Young Pyromancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I’m trying really hard to not pressure you to. Unfortunately, I’m sorta failing. I love her character too much.) Oh Ray is absolutely on the list of characters to be brought back. Only reason that hasn't happened yet is because my IRL situation isn't clearing up as fast as I would have anticipated and dealing with that first seems more reasonable than getting involved with barely any time and potentially holding people up.

Also just because people aren’t thinking about looking for him doesn’t mean people aren’t looking for him. If his existence is rumoured I could see Notley trying to find him just to eliminate the threat he represents. It’s not her most pressing concern so she’s not gonna think about it unless it comes up, but she probably has operatives out there searching.

Just need to know for something I'm planning. @Drake Marshall How is Taya's little infiltration under the guise of Agent Rook going? I think she probably would just to say “hey we caught one of your operatives stealing from our facility. If you want to collaborate on a mission we would be happy to work out the terms of such an endeavour and thought you should know what one of your agents is up to” EDIT: also Upgrade is mine and has been introduced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Did anyone else see Kobold's post here and secretly hope he might have been joining the new RP? I knew it was a long shot but I was still secretly hoping it would happen.

The thing we came up with makes sense, so unless the whole trifecta assembles, we can use that. Synergized enhancers is a scary thought.

Less anti-Semitic and more pro-Aryan/Epic-superman. Basically, he considers Hitler's "undesirables" the lowest firm of humanity, with Epics asking then being somewhat more acceptable. Other people are likewise discriminated against based on powers out the lack thereof, with Aryan people second only to Aryan Epics, like himself. Unlike Hitler, he isn't out to exterminate anyone, but he'll kill those he considers lower without provocation, and he constantly strives to become a truer "superman" than Hitler or Steelheart.
