Question

[Kobold King he/him]

Whenever Nighthound is done trolling.

 

And of course, Lightwards still has to finish his big musical number about "this day."

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Also, shenanagins. Lightwards is sounding more and more like a grouchy old curmudgeon every minute. How long until he chases Nighthound away with a cane, shouting for the little hoodlum to get off his lawn?

 

Well I think I should bump up his age to at least 39--after all, he's supposed to have been a college professor just eight years previously.

[Voidus]

So this is probably waaay too late, but any chance I could throw in a character? Looks interesting.

[Edgedancer he/him]

I'd read that.

You propse interest I deliver something for the siblings.

 

Michael looked at the dog his sister brought home this time. “No obvious injuries, manutritioned as one would expect from a stray but nothing he can´t recover from.” He told her. Jeanie picked up the dog and carried it out in the garden, while Michael prepared a bowl with dog food, which he also set down in the garden.

 

Both of them sat down and watched the dog eat. “You are not going to stop bringing more strays in for me to pepper up, are you?” He asked his sister.

“Nope! And why would I when I basically have a vet here?” She gave him a  sly smile and sticked out here tongue.

“Maybe because the cat you brought home last time actually bit you.”

She hid her hand behind her back. “It´s not like they want to hurt me, they´re just afraid.”

 

Michael shook his head and ruffled up his sister´s hair. She frowned a little bit. “Don´t you think I´m getting a little old to be petted?” He chuckled, continued to mess up her hair and leaned back in a posture mimicking thought. After a couple of seconds he smiled and said, “Mhmmm, nope, not at all. You´re still a adorable little girl as far as I´m concerned.” Jeanie gave him a playful push against his shoulder. “Jerk.” They both chuckled as they continued to watch the dog eat.

Nighthound is out of the way so go ahead and sing and no I won´t let the musical go.

Well, I´m not calling the shots here but we haven´t told anyone to leave up untill now and a couple of people dropped out, so I don´t see a reason why you shouldn´t. Just write up a profile and pm Twilyght the weakness. I always wanted to see a Steelinquisitor pony.

I would do a Human, actually I really want to do a human who's a bit crazy and thinks that they're an Epic.

[Kobold King he/him]

That´s actually his middle name. Honestly, I´ve been playing with the idea of writing some little excerpts from his time as a not Epic, when he wasn´t a complete monster.

 

I would also read that. In fact I've been thinking of doing the same for Lightwards--a mini-project, perhaps?

I don't think it's ever too late, but of course TwiLyght is ultimately in charge of that sort of thing.

 

Your character idea is pretty interesting. How would it work, though, with your human unable to doing anything epic?

First ponies now backstory, we do seem to like our side-projects. In my case, more short ones like the one above might follow.

Nothing wrong with that, I just have the same concern as Kobold that the act/delusion would be hard to hold up after contact with an actual Epic, unless he also had an Epic covering for him like Nathan does.

[Voidus]

I'll just do a short bio and a more detailed one later if it gets approved.

EDITED for completeness

Real name: Jeff Carlisle
'Epic' Name: Purple Phoenix

'Powers':
As a researcher he was installed with a state of the art mind-computer interface in his spine to allow his brain to control many of the devices they created from Epic abilities.

Resurrection (He has no way of actually resurrecting, he just believes he can due to his 'deaths' every night)

Has a protective field similar to what the Reckoners were supposed to have, only works on metal though as it's based on a magnetism manipulating Epic, also accelerates any bullets he fires out increasing stopping power.

Purpley explodeyness: Access to a pair of gloves which destabilizes the bonds of a given item (Usually uses pebbles) which can later be detonated by a specific frequency or a hard enough impact, is set off by a mental command explodes into a cloud of purplish energy.
As an ex-military he also is in good physical condition and quite adept at hand to hand and armed combat.

History: Previously a military engineer/Research scientist after Calamity he was part of one of the first scientific efforts to understand Epic abilities, during his time in this project they invented a number of devices to emulate Epic abilities such as Energy based explosives, however the Epics they were researching slowly became more and more violent and eventually one killed most of the research team, Jeff only managed to kill the Epic by using their recently fabricated energy based weapons against it, but the trauma of the event caused him to go insane, he suffers from split personalities, one which is aware that he's just a 'vanilla' and one that believes he is the Purple Phoenix, the vanilla identity is the protector and does everything to set up traps to protect him from other Epics, however PP believes himself to be using his powers to protect himself.
He also believes that he doesn't need to sleep and that instead every night an Epic tries to kill him, and then he resurrects the next morning, his other personality frequently takes over while he's 'dead' and sets up traps, plants exploding pebbles, recharges his gear and plans for the next day to keep PP alive.

He believes he has an Epic weakness, which practically means that when faced with it he will not even attempt to use any of his tech.

Real name: Jeff Carlisle

'Epic' Name: Purple Phoenix

'Powers': Resurrection and blowing stuff up in purple energy balls, possibly some other minor things still working on it.

I like it.

[Voidus]

So can I get your approval to enter? I'll PM the 'weakness' and do a better bio

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Yes. When and where will he show up? And which alliance is he likely to join? (If it's Thoughttown or CorpseMaker, you'll need to ask Mailliw or Joe for permission. If it's the Wacko Brigade, we can work out a way for him to join around the museum heist.)

[Edgedancer he/him]

Welcome on board Voidus.

 

@ Mailliw: Are we still going to do something in this Thoughttown scene or work towards the fade away? Plus, Altermind is a brave man, putting Voidgaze of all people in charge.

[Voidus]

His protective self is pretty cautious so he'll likely try to observe all the factions before supporting any, since he believes he's an Epic he puts on an air of aloofness and isn't particularly fond of either humans or Epics, especially anyone with energy based attacks, (So probably a no go for CorpseMaker, he'd probably be ok with a minor electricity epic though so thoughttown is a maybe)
I was going to have him show up tomorrow when the Wacko Brigade go to the museum to start his observations.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Thoughttown or the Wacko Brigade are probably where he'd be safest.

I'm waiting to have Mat reply responding to AM's mental questions to Mason. Then we'll see how it goes.

 

That's why she's not the only one in charge. He is the head person in charge and PF and VG are his assistants.

 

Edit: We're welcome to add you, Voidus, but I think the Wackos is the best place for you. 

Edited August 8, 2014 by Mailliw73

[Voidus]

Purple Phoenix resents your accusation that he's Wacko! He also welcomes it and accepts it as basically true.

On a side note I thought some of his tech could potentially be responsible for some of the widespread destruction in the area, particularly if at some point someone else gets a hold of it.

Edited August 8, 2014 by Voidus

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Funtimes will love him, and Nathan will cover for him if he slips up.

[Voidus]

Well funtimes would definitely love half of him anyway, then again she could just turn the other half into kitty so they'll probably end up getting on, if Nathan gets in touch with the Protector then they might be able to come clean to each other but PP is in control for most of his interactions with other people so it depends how things play out.
Anyone mind if I jump in with his grand entrance to the city? Or is there a turn order to be observed?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Depends. Is he likely to be noticed, or in an area where he's likely to be seen?

[Voidus]

I was just going to do his entrance into the city, set up his plans for stalking the Wackos.

[Kobold King he/him]

Welcome, Voidus! I can't wait for Purple Phoenix to join the Warriors of Light the faction of his choosing.

Edited August 8, 2014 by Kobold King

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Cool. Then go ahead. The Wackos won't break into the museum until morning. 

[Voidus]

Ahh! I posted right in the middle of a telepathic conversation, that's what I get for not updating the page
Sorry guys!

[Mailliw73 he/him]

It's totally okay. It doesn't have to go back and forth between us two. You can post whenever, since you're not connected with our storyline yet.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

I'm going to wait for Joe or Edgedancer before I post now.

[Edgedancer he/him]

I'm going to wait for Joe or Edgedancer before I post now.

I´m working on it.
