Also, I just realized that Bloodlight's stance of "kill them until they redeem themselves" would be an interesting concept to introduce to Armageddon. Also, I know the map keeps getting re-linked on this page, but it also keeps getting drowned in new posts, so could somebody link it to the RP Location Poll? Or we could create and pin a new thread for maps of all of our RP locations. IDK, something like that would be really helpful. Speaking of redemption: It's important to remember we should keep truly redeemed characters to a minimum-- ie, faced their fears. Acting redeemed but actually just repressing their powers/using unhealthy coping mechanisms is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only plan for Arachnerd and Bloodlight to go that far, and that because it is a large part of the reason I write them. I was simply referring to it's slight difference from Armageddon's ideology that humanity is irredeemable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, his version of bad is much more "it makes me mad" than "it's immoral," so his definition of redemption is more along the lines of "changed so that they are doing what I think they should be doing." It's like people who offend him have to redeem themselves in his eyes, and he doesn't believe that they can do that without a little... Motivation? Punishment? Temporary state of lifelessness? Basically he's a very corrupted holy-justice warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) @Drake Marshall How did Taya know about Kokichi? I'm pretty sure Liam made sure to neglect mentioning that, or am I remembering wrong? EDIT: I’d like to establish a date for Steelheart’s death and this RP so I can organize my characters around it. That okay? EDIT 2: I just realized with the dates I set up, Kokichi being 19 is literally impossible. So I’m just going to say they’re actually 21 but don’t know it because reasons and also I’m bad at math-ing.

DrakeMarshall Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Taya is pretty much going off of rumors from a high profile break-in and subsequent car chase, involving one of the most flamboyant epics in the Reckonersverse. Also because I found it amusing that Taya was implying that everything is Kokichi’s fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a scale of one to ten, with one being chill and ten being flamboyant, they’re probably sharing the ten spot with Funtimes. Though, to be perfectly honest, she might be less flamboyant than they are. Statistically speaking, it’s likely only 99% of things are their fault.

The Young Pyromancer Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Funtimes is more flamboyant because after the fact, anyone can identify who caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Young Pyromancer Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Just persuasion/deception, and only advantage and a high mod. It can still fail if he misjudged the scenario or the other person has more info. I still really like the skill vampire though. if voidus is a master at making minor epics, I am a journeyman at making medium epics. EDIT: in quantity, not quality.

Voidus Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have Epics of all strengths and sizes, I just use the minor Epics most because no one wants to use High Epics as cannon fodder. (I have no idea why though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 "Decent Epics." I think minor Epic just means they don't have a PI? But, then again, the books contradict themselves a number of times on this point so it doesn't really matter. TBH, I feel like a Decent Epic categorization is a good idea, because there are plenty of Epics that can be killed without their weakness, it's just really difficult. (Actually, both of mine are Decent Epics.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
