Edgedancer he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Hey all, sorry I haven't been on the last couple of days, been interstate visiting relatives for xmas. Any developments? Quota and Timeport went on a merry murder adventure in the neighborhood, Nighthound got a willing slave that´s just drowned an entire pet shop in her own blood, Freq gathered a couple of Epics in an attempt to conquer the Dalles, some talking between Autumn and Shiny Sarkle, who´s still holding Backtrack and most important of all I made us a TvTropes page.
Voidus Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Ooh me likey, I'll try to get around to posting in the next day or so once I've caught up.
Kobold King he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 mail-mi, I had a thought. Seth is a Hebrew name meaning "appointed." Timeport sees himself as having been appointed by Calamity for something pretty terrible (that he seems to enjoy the thought of). Was his name chosen because of its meaning, setting him up as a sort of Dark Messiah character from the beginning? And I added to that theory. You might want to check the spoiler tag for the translation. I didn't think of that. (That should go on our Fridge Brilliance page. ) We still need "X is a Time Lord" and "Oregon is actually Purgatory" theories.
Quiver he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Well...Nathan acts like Ten doesn't he? He wears the suit, uses a variation of the name, has the swagger... Though maybe that's more of a subversion, since he isn't an epic when behaviour suggests otherwise... 1

Though maybe that's more of a subversion, since he isn't an epic when behaviour suggests otherwise... There was a theory going around a while back that Funtimes is actually a future regeneration of the Doctor. Though if I may throw my two cents in, I'll say that Nighthound acts a lot like the Master... 1

Though if I may throw my two cents in, I'll say that Nighthound acts a lot like the Master... The Master has never been as creepy as Nighthound. Not even when he was a flashing skeleton that ate homeless people. When the Master gazed into the Untempered Schism, he was corrupted. If Nighthound gazed into it, all of time and space would be corrupted.
Quiver he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back. And in the case of Nighthound, the Abyss blinks. 4
Kobold King he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back. And in the case of Nighthound, the Abyss blinks. The Abyss then undergoes two years of clinical therapy trying to get over the incident. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 The Abyss then undergoes two years of clinical therapy trying to get over the incident. And in all future portrayals, the Abyss is a Woobie. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Transcript of a conversation: Brother: Did you hear about the new gun they're making? Dad: No. Brother: 50 BMG revolver. Dad: Why? Brother: For those life-or-death situations where you really need to kill a T-Rex through the wall of your house. He knows our plans. 5

mail-mi he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 mail-mi, I had a thought. Seth is a Hebrew name meaning "appointed." Timeport sees himself as having been appointed by Calamity for something pretty terrible (that he seems to enjoy the thought of). Was his name chosen because of its meaning, setting him up as a sort of Dark Messiah character from the beginning? And I added to that theory. You might want to check the spoiler tag for the translation. Yes, let's go with that. It totally wasn't just me choosing the first name of my main character in one of my books because I just needed a name 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I didn't think of that. (That should go on our Fridge Brilliance page. ) We still need "X is a Time Lord" and "Oregon is actually Purgatory" theories. Like the guy that can teleport through time and space? and with Nighthound there Oregon might be worse off than Purgatory. The Abyss then undergoes two years of clinical therapy trying to get over the incident. Ultimately, the Abyss found peace in live by consoling other people and forming a self-helping group.

Brother: For those life-or-death situations where you really need to kill a T-Rex through the wall of your house. He knows our plans. Your familly sounds pretty awesome.
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 To keep you updated I just added the tropes Order vs Chaos, Mix-and-match criters, The Beastmaster, What kind of lame power is heart anyway, Person of Mass destruction, Meaningful rename, Names to run away from really fast, Awesome McCoolname, And I must scream and Unicorn. Do you guys think Voidgaze qualifies for Socially awkward Hero/Badass adorable?

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I think we also need to add an entry for Lethal Harmless Powers for characters like Quota, Koschei, Sightline, and anyone else who uses their harmless powers for murder.

Edgedancer he/him Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Three facts. 1) I think you can´t see our subforum unless you are loged in. 2) The idea of Lucentia tap-dancing on anything is very strange indeed. 3) Not going into spoilers but I think the Doctor Who christmas special made me watch Santa dissing My little Pony. 1

If that problem doesn't clear up soon I'll ask one of the mods if there's anything to be done. 2. Just picture her scowling and complaining the whole time. 3. Seriously?
Voidus Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 In honor of the holiday season I present my newest christmas-themed Epic.Epic Name: Santa ClawsPrimary power: Can create energy constructs from his fists reminiscent of Wolverine's adamantine claws.Secondary power: Can create a red glowing circle underneath his feet which allows him to stand or run across the air.Passive power: Regeneration.Modus Operandi: Santa Claws is often accompanied by his fanatical Vanilla follower 'Rudolph' an ex-army explosives expert. Between Santa's abilities and Rudolphs tactics and traps the two have defeated all other Epics in their area and have taken over the rule of a town inside Oregon.Code name: RudolphModus Operandi: Rudolph has over many nights littered the town with explosives, at all times he carries a mobile phone with him with which he can detonate any single explosive with a short code. He is fanatically devoted to Santa Claws and puts his brilliant mind to work devising tactics for the holiday Epic. 3

Just picture her scowling and complaining the whole time. 3. Seriously? 1) It´s only really a problem for lurkers but it´s still odd. 2) Sounds hilarious. Hopefully she gives never a self-made woman a good kick. 3)More or less. Again not going into details but Santa essentially threatened a grown woman with the words My little Pony, the implication being rather clear that it´s something she´s ashamed/embarrassed about.

Again not going into details but Santa essentially threatened a grown woman with the words My little Pony, the implication being rather clear that it´s something she´s ashamed/embarrassed about. 1. As a former lurker, I'll see what's up. 2. No kidding. With her drive and ambition, she could have made an excellent female role model. You know, if she wasn't irredeemably evil. And a whiner. And a sadistic sociopath. Let me put it this way: if almost any other woman had her drive and ambition, she would make an excellent female role model. 3. Why, Santa? Why? You seemed like such a good guy! I am disappoint.

Kinda doubles as ambition is evil, given that it only came with her being an Epic. 3. I blame 12. (This statement makes more sense after watching the episode.)

Edgedancer he/him Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Who's going to post next in Portland? Depending on the scene either me, Kobold, mail-mi or whatever is going on with the MME attack.
Edgedancer he/him Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Planning out the next post I wondered, how old is Red?
