Question 2

[Voidus]

It would make anyone lose all authority
A well timed use of his power right before Steelheart takes off for flight and the fart jokes would never stop.

He simply must meet Funtimes posthaste.

So I guess the Epics in The Dalles are split between Vondra and Quicksilver at the moment, yes?

If I do make that Avatar Epic, I can't decide whether I want him as a criminal or on the police force. Maybe Frequency will work with Quicksilver when he gets to town. Hmmm.

[Tulir he/him]

So, I am thinking of Florist being with Vondra, with Aura and Event Horizon with Quicksilver.  Sound good for everyone?

[Kobold King he/him]

Yeah, a companion epic would be cool. He should also have the power to make people sneeze as well.

 

It occurs to me how much Lightwards would fear an epic who could make him flatulent at will...

He would lose all authority in a heartbeat.

 

I'm afraid that there is no force in Oregon that could prevent Lightwards from murdering him then and there. He has a low tolerance for that sort of thing.

 

All this talk of The Dalles has made me forget that I actually need to post in Portland here soon. And I'm still working tirelessly to finish the Calamityville post.

 

Oy vey.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

The Dalles thread is up! 

 

….I'm torn between wondering if I made Koschei too creepy or not creepy enough.

The Dalles thread is up! 

 

….I'm torn between wondering if I made Koschei too creepy or not creepy enough. 

 

...I've been suspecting Koschei worked something like this for a while now, but somehow it's not comforting to see my suspicions confirmed.

 

I would definitely say Koschei's creepy enough. He's very clearly a sick and demented person above and beyond what we're used to seeing in Portland.

 

I'm writing up a Backtrack post now, if that's alright.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Cool! I'll get a post up tomorrow.

Joe or Voidus, do you want to post in Thoughttown? Altermind pretty much ordered Strongsteel to sit and then asked for ideas. I think Strongsteel could reply or Pan, for that matter. Otherwise, Joe should have Voidgaze and Sihtline come back.

[Voidus]

I don't know that Strongsteel has much to say, I can do a quick post for him but he doesn't know enough about the situation to suggest anything.

[Tulir he/him]

Joe also needs to do the Corpsemaker welcoming Quota from Mundivore scene.

[Seonid he/him]

Icons!!!

 

 

 

 

In order, Guardian, Paladin, and Ranger.

 

Also, new minor Epics!

 

Will O'the Wisp

Human name - William O'Brian

 

Powers - Constantly accompanied by three floating fairy lights, which emit a pleasant music that induces a vague desire to follow them and to see what they are up to. Also predisposes a person who hears it to trust Will.

 

Can focus on up to three individuals, making it very hard for them to resist the compelling urge to follow the fairy lights wherever they go. Often uses this to lure vanillas to their deaths for his own amusement.

 

Epics are much more resistant to the compulsion, but are not immune, especially if he is only focusing on one.

 

Weakness: High Noon (from 12:00 - 12:01) on the Summer Solstice

 

Quicksand

Human name - Prithvi Chandrasekhar

 

Powers - Can change any patch of ground into quicksand. When he stops focusing on it, it changes to regular sand.

 

Can also breath while buried underground, and can move through sand as if he were swimming through water, and has a sort of tremorsense while doing so.

 

Weakness - Coming into contact with water while he is moving through sand.

 

Miner

Power - Can create mine shafts and tunnels at will, and can shape them to a minute degree of detail. Can sense deposits of any type of metal ore or other mineral.

 

Weakness - Curry.

But not before desecrating it by turning it into a purple bowler hat.

Good. I think. 

 

Totally fine. 

[Seonid he/him]

The Koschei creep factor was off the charts. And I mean that in a good way. I can't wait to see him get his due. Are we good to start posting in there? Or should we wait until you have more backstory up?

Nope, you're good to go. And thank you. 

[mail-mi he/him]

Joe also needs to do the Corpsemaker welcoming Quota from Mundivore scene.

And it's also Joe's turn with the Reckoners/Timeport side of the story. 

[Tulir he/him]

Ohh, and Voidus/Edgedancer, you can respond if you want to to Parity's interruption, or not, mainly it was something I could write her doing that would make sense for her.

[Seonid he/him]

Posted! Should we have a separate planning thread for The Dalles? Or will this one be good enough for now?

[Kobold King he/him]

Alright, posted in The Dalles. It cane out a lot more weird and rambling then I'd intended, mainly because it's midnight and I'm tired right now. But hopefully I can get away with saying it's because Backtrack is having a bad day.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Joe also needs to do the Corpsemaker welcoming Quota from Mundivore scene.

Joe or Voidus, do you want to post in Thoughttown?

 

Right Forgot about Quota. I'll write that Up soon. The other two are up. Geez I'm falling behind.

[Tulir he/him]

I will be MIA at minimum the majority of tomorrow, but it could be until Friday that I won't be able to get on.  Just giving a heads-up, so don't expect me to respond to something during that time.

[Edgedancer he/him]

Here is Edgerunner's bio. Edge dancer, you should like this.

Epic Name: Edgerunner

Human Name: Emma Runes

Weakness: <PM'd to the GM>

.

Primary Power: Friction manipulation. Edgerunner can manipulate her own friction. She can increase her friction, allowing her to climb vertical surfaces as well as decrease it, which allows her to slide around. She can also change the friction of inanimate objects.

Secondary Power: Gravity manipulation. Edgerunner can manipulate her own gravitational pull. (eg Basic Lashing)

Passive Power: Accelerated healing. It isn't much faster than normal, but allows her to heal from diseases or small wounds quicker than normal. It is three times faster than a regular human's.

Appearance: Small and lithe, Edgedancer has long, curly, dark hair. She keeps it pulled back out of her face with a black headband. She tends to wear a dark blue zip up hoodie. She also wears dark colored leggings. Black boots complete her outfit.

Age: 19

Home City: The Dalles

Weaponry: A knife inside her hoodie pocket, and a knife strapped to her right forearm. She keeps a very small emergency pistol in her boot.

Edgerunner is quiet and tends to lurk in the back of conversations. She is stealthy and sneaky. She hid when Koschei came into town and was able to stay away from him. She now works as a spy and assassin for Mayor Vondra.

Edit: I picture her as a Catwoman mixed with a powered down Edgedancer and Windrunner.

Yes, yes I do like her, great now I´m jealous.

 

The Dalles thread is up! 

 

….I'm torn between wondering if I made Koschei too creepy or not creepy enough. 

Don´t worry he´s creepy. If you are even in doubt whether he´s creepy enough, remember these words. "Nighthound would like him."

 

Ohh, and Voidus/Edgedancer, you can respond if you want to to Parity's interruption, or not, mainly it was something I could write her doing that would make sense for her.

Responding to explosions in close proximity of your face? Why would I ever not do this? (Again we can count ourself lucky that the explosives most of our characters don´t know about didn´t trigger.)

 

Posted! Should we have a separate planning thread for The Dalles? Or will this one be good enough for now?

Nah, currently it should still be okay, maybe if we end up with even more sub-topics, potentially with their own GMs.

 

Alright, a short bio for my vanilla Dalles Doctor.

 

Name: Baxter Game

 

Age: late 40-early 50~ish

 

Appearance: A man of medium size with short brown hair and slightly dark skin. Most of the time he wears a a white doctor coat over a rather informal jeans and shirt combo.

 

History: Before Calamity Baxter Game worked as a doctor, this did not change after the Epics appeared. However, it did make it harder to run a proper clinic. Because of this he traveled the fractured states with his wife and daughter, helping people as best as they could and making a habit out of serving his patients hot choco.

 

About 1 and a half years ago they found a place that both needed help and could offer stability, the Dalles, and settled there. There they ran a proper clinic again, his daughter working as his assistant and his wife dealing with their paperwork. Around a year later their lives were disrupted again, after Baxter´s daughter turned into an Epic and run away from home almost immediately. His wife folloewd her in an attempt to bring her back and hasn´t returned since. Currently he´s working alone in his clinic, well almost alone, he keeps a european shorthair cat.

 

Seeing a lot of suffering brought about by the hands of Epics, he supports Vondra fully but his child´s transformation caused him to start and consider Epics in a new light.

 

(I admit that I have not yet very well planned out his daughters epicness, so I´m open for suggestions. )

I like him!

 

(Who's going next in The Dalles, by the way? I set it up for Voidus to write a twins response, but apart from that I really don't know.)

 

((And before anyone chases me with torches and pitchforks, I'm finishing a Calamityville post now. Or trying to.))

Well, right now just about anyone could do a post to introduce their characters but for actual story progression it would either be the twins or Vondra dealing with his new prisoners.

 

Threatening PPs wife was probably not the wisest move, last time someone tried to hurt her he killed them and then tried to kill everyone who even reminded him of them.

I know, two of my characters where there.

 

Nighthound being smart in favour of being mean? Blubbering berry, that is ridiculous! But hey, you said PP can´t feel emotions such as hate anymore so it shoud... *reads RP-post*... send him in an almost murderous rage threatening lots of violence, sure I can deal with that.

When I get home I'll do a BusDriver post.
