Kobold King he/him Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Since Reader didn't set it up for the healer remark, can I come up with a way to fit that in? I'm cool with that.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 * your puns have been interrupted for the following matter of business * Who's up next in The Dalles--Backtrack or Autumn Glass? * you may now resume punning * Vondra can go too with Glamour and Edgerunner. Count me in on that ListTM! In other news, I should have a Paladin post up later today, as well as resolving the latent confrontation between Arvin Weeks and Ranger. Really? Cool! I'm excited. I really like your trio's posts.
Kobold King he/him Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Vondra can go too with Glamour and Edgerunner. Ah, yes. You know I was kind of hoping for a more epic set-up for Vondra's first POV than "Mr. Mayor, Runes and Abners want to talk to you." I'm not quite sure how to make the post anything less than a anti-climax... Is there any reasonable way I can start the post with Vondra jumping out of a helicopter? 3

Make it Copter-Jumping Tuesday in the RP. 2
Seonid he/him Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 If you wait long enough, I'll have Arvin flying into town on a dragon. I'm sure we could work something out. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Make it Copter-Jumping Tuesday in the RP. Nobody's that awesome. So... if I named Blackwave's first mate "Sharkbait," would it be an homage to Finding Nemo or an unoriginal rip-off? 2

So... if I named Blackwave's first mate "Sharkbait," would it be an homage to Finding Nemo or an unoriginal rip-off? "Vondra leaped from the helicopter, as he did every Tuesday. One never knew when such a skill would be needed, and he thought it best to stay sharp." Sharkbait ooh-ha-ha! (Needless to say, I like the name. ) 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 I hope that last post was in-character enough for Reader and tormenting enough for Backtrack. (Though if what I described Reader as doing didn't fit, let me know and I'll change it.)
Voidus Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Vondra could be single-handedly dealing with:The Skydiver: Automated force-field, activates whenever something approaches him at high velocity. 2

(Though if what I described Reader as doing didn't fit, let me know and I'll change it.) It was just great I'm surprised Autumn didn't notice Reader's bad case of the shakes
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 So... if I named Blackwave's first mate "Sharkbait," would it be an homage to Finding Nemo or an unoriginal rip-off? Yes, do it. I actually used that as my Name at Scout Camp. What should the Ship be named?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 It was just great I'm surprised Autumn didn't notice Reader's bad case of the shakes I got the impression he was containing them. Which do you like better: she sees, or she's so annoyed she doesn't notice?
mail-mi he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I was thinking a quick death for Timeport before his resurrection and then maybe a surprise attack while Chi is unsuspecting. But, yes. We can do it. I think my next Timeport post is going to be him going up to recruit Chimera because Streetwise heard about him during his Upgraded Omniscience. Which means that Timeport is getting his axe EDIT: I got the impression he was containing them. Which do you like better: she sees, or she's so annoyed she doesn't notice? I'm not sure. Whichever one you like, I guess. Edited October 31, 2014 by mail-mi 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 Cool. One edit coming up.
Kobold King he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Yes, do it. I actually used that as my Name at Scout Camp. What should the Ship be named? Cool. I'll have a bio up soon. The Jolly Roger? The Stormbreaker? The Wavebringer? The Sea's Tyrant? The Jewel of Calamity?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I think my next Timeport post is going to be him going up to recruit Chimera because Streetwise heard about him during his Upgraded Omniscience. Which means that Timeport is getting his axe That actually fits in CM's plan. Go for it. The Stormbreaker? The Wavebringer? I'm liking these two. Something Like this.
Kobold King he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I'm liking these two. Something Like this. The Seaslinger. The Windwielder.The Tidebreaker. I'm running shy on ideas. :/
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 The Seaslinger. The Windwielder.The Tidebreaker. I'm running shy on ideas. :/ I've always thought the Superstition would be a good name for a pirate ship. 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 The Tidebreaker, Yes. I like it. We're definitely going to need a Cannon appearance for this crew.
Voidus Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 The Tidebreaker, Yes. I like it. We're definitely going to need a Cannon appearance for this crew. I see what you did there But if you're serious I can make any Epics in crew if needed. 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Do you really need the Excuse? We'll take any you're willing to give us. Does anyone know how many men Pirate Ships usually had? EDIT to avoid double posting. What does Alice look like? She doesn't have a profile that i can find. Edited October 31, 2014 by The Only Joe 1
Voidus Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Do you really need the Excuse? We'll take any you're willing to give us. Does anyone know how many men Pirate Ships usually had? Maaaaybe I'll pick some out, I think it was fairly variable depending on the size of the ship.
Kobold King he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) OK, here's a quickly drawn up biography for the Epic known as Sharkbait. Pre-Calamity Information David Manō was a Hawaiian surfer and fisherman before Calamity, living on one of the smaller islands. As his surname suggests, he had some traditional Hawaiian heritage in his family history. Though all things considered, David was more in touch with his westerner heritage than with his indigenous side. He spent much of his time fishing, surfing, and wooing charming young ladies in grass skirts. One of the more traumatic incidents of his life occurred while surfing. While out in deep water early in the morning, a he was attacked by a great white shark. The incident almost cost him his life; the doctors told him he was lucky it only cost him his left arm. David never quite shared this sentiment. Powers and Abilities In time, a red star appeared in the night sky. This red star would change David Manō's life forever--and once his life was changed, he'd set about ending a great many other people's lives. Whether by a deliberate joke or by some cosmic irony, David was given the power to control sharks. When David Manō held a shark's tooth against his skin, he forged a deep internal link with the animal it had come from. Once the extent of his powers became clear to him, David began decorating his body with necklaces and bracelets strung together from shed shark teeth. Through the sharks he controlled, David became capable of quite a few spectacular feats. First and foremost, any shark he owned became like extensions of himself, following his every command at a mere thought. He was also capable of sensing what they sensed, if he so chose. As Calamity's corruption grew, he often allowed himself to feel the same bloodlust and feeding frenzies as his minions. Another interesting ability he reaps from his shark connection is the ability to sap attributes from the sharks. David Manō--or Sharkbait, as he steadily began calling himself--is capable of draining the strength and health of his minions into his own body, radically improving his own physical condition. His fist delivers all the force of a tiger shark's bite, and he can heal mortal wounds by taking the life of one of his minions. As long as he had shark teeth on his skin, Sharkbait was like a force of nature. Modus Operandi While David Manō was a nice enough person, Sharkbait certainly is not. He basks in his pets' bloodlust, feeling compelled to slaughter and maim whenever they feed. He can often be found dumping buckets of chum over the Tidebreaker's side, rousing his minions into a frenzy. Few dare ask how he makes the chum--or exactly what kind of animal supplies the blood for it. One particular irk of Sharkbait's existence is that his healing ability does not allow him to regrow his lost arm, as this was a permanent wound inflicted before Calamity. He will forever be a one-armed Epic. EDIT: Alice Regway is a younger woman around 27 years of age, with long red hair. At the moment her chief distinguishing features include her vacant staring expression and the oranges bandages wrapping one arm. Edited October 31, 2014 by Kobold King 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 I added a bit to Soulflicker (changes in italics). What do you think? Epic Name: Soulflicker Primary Ability: Can drain the life force of those he chooses; can drain up to 3 people at a time and his power is restricted to vanillas; those he drains go into a trance-like state throughout this process; he can choose whether to leave them alive and weakened or drain them completely; his strength is proportionate to how much strength and how many people he has drained recently Secondary Ability: Blood control—Blood contact with a person speeds the draining process. Drinking a sample of their blood would kill them instantly, granting him their strength, strong memories, and some skills and intelligence. He cannot gain an Epic's abilities by drinking their blood; however, he can leave them weakened and out of sorts Passive Ability: Life-sensing—Soulflicker can sense the strength of those around him; Epics emit a somewhat stronger "signal" than vanillas; he cannot sense powers (just as he cannot sense a vanilla's specific skills) but he can sense how strong their powers are, just as he can sense the relative strength and endurance of a vanilla 2
mail-mi he/him Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Cool. One edit coming up. I like it That actually fits in CM's plan. Go for it. Perfect The Tidebreaker, Yes. I like it. We're definitely going to need a Cannon appearance for this crew. Oooh! Can I make the steerer? Whatever that's called
