Question 5

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Like, almost no glitter at all.

Backtrack would probably continue to be lame and unimportant, completely unaware of how powerful he could actually be.

Aldo would be pretty much the same.

Remington would kill Lightwards and Nighthound as quickly as he could find their weaknesses, after trapping them both in cement.

Quota would be pants-crappingly terrifying, partly because he would be bitter about no longer being able to manipulate emotions.

Nathan would trap every Epic he deemed dangerous in cement before being driven insane by guilt and the corruption from his powers.

[Kobold King he/him]

Sam would launch the MoNA into the sun before retiring to a quiet life in her mother's bakery.

 

Revolution would conjure up unlimited bacon until she finally snapped from the corruption and set out to conquer Oregon.

 

Chicago Joe would transform the entire Pacific Ocean into whiskey. It would take him years, but he would maintain that the project was perfectly worth the effort.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

0.o

 

Blackwave will be a terrifying addition to Oregon, that's for sure. How long has Blackwave been scourgin' the high seas?

 

What shall we do with a surly Epic?

What shall we do with a surly Epic?

What shall we do with a surly Epic?

Ear-ly in the mornin'.

 

Put 'im in the hold with our Brother Sharkbait

Put 'im in the hold with our Brother Sharkbait

Put 'im in the hold with our Brother Sharkbait

Ear-ly in the morn-in'!

I actually jumped up from the computer and yelled Backyardigans. I can't believe anyone else watched that show.

[Voidus]

PP would probably just recreate his old lab and live there happily with Saccharine.
 

[mail-mi he/him]

If my characters got matter manipulation along with their other powers...

 

Mommy would make toys for her children, and a few things for herself.

 

BusDriver wouldn't make buses anymore, and he'd probably be just as grouchy as always

 

Reader would use it first to take over, then use it to recreate embarassing things from his subjects' pasts. 

 

Timeport....I don't even want to know what Timeport would do with it 

[Kobold King he/him]

I actually jumped up from the computer and yelled Backyardigans. I can't believe anyone else watched that show.

 

Ha! The sea shanty is older than the Backyardigans by far, but I'd be lying if I said Backyardigans wasn't where I heard a version of it first.

 

Mobius with matter manipulation on top of her spatial distortion would essentially ascend beyond the rank of "High Epic" and would become a goddess incarnate. A vengeful goddess.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

So, Matter Manipulators.

 

Sightline wouldn't really know what to do with it. He's not very good with Engineering, so he'd just teleport above somebody and turn something into an Anvil.

 

CorpseMaker would set about making the most Gothic Evil Lair he could possibly devise.

 

Blackwave would just turn as much land to water as possible.

 

I don't know what the others would do.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Oh, I forgot someone. 

 

Koschei with matter manipulation added to his healing abilities would first set about creating equipment for his army. He's not much of an engineer, but he would recruit one and follow his or her instructions long enough to build some tanks, guns, grenade launchers, etc. He would attempt to build a nuke, but become extremely angry when it proved too complicated for a quick project. To compensate, he would add mech suits and other heavy weaponry to the mix. 

 

Then he would hit The Dalles. 

 

He would start off with a show. Remember the scene in the church? Imagine that repeated a dozen times with much heavier weaponry and a much larger audience. 

 

Oddly enough, he would not often use his matter manipulation to give himself a clean shirt. He would spend most of his conquest with blood all down his front. 

[Newan he/him]

And if I had matter manipulation, I would just make it rain pancakes.  Why be creative and original when you can make it rain pancakes?

[Voidus]

Impact and MV would probably just go around making people wear embarrassing clothes and throwing parties, basically just a less glittery version of what Funtimes already does

[Edgedancer he/him]

My plan is coming to fruition!

 

Nice pony. Who is it? 

Witness the birth of an evil mastermind.

Ooh, me likey. I'll parrot TwiLight's question--who is he?

 

Are there any Portland characters likely to have sable skin coats? I'm mildly obsessed with sables at the moment, and I can't get the image of Lightwards reanimating someone's coat into a fluffy weasel and having it attack them out of my head. 

He´s the PoV/Protagonist of the story I´m writting (this month).

 

As a matter manipulator, Voidgaze would probably create food.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

An upvote to the first person to guess what Big Al's first creation would be.

[Edgedancer he/him]

Might not be the most creative guess but Sausage Mcmuffins?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

That or what ever Voidgaze's favorite food is.

[Kobold King he/him]

Out of curiosity, how is CM's coffee shop supplied with coffee beans still? Are there still trade routes in the post-Calamity world, active and shipping goods from the Equator to Oregon?

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Out of curiosity, how is CM's coffee shop supplied with coffee beans still? Are there still trade routes in the post-Calamity world, active and shipping goods from the Equator to Oregon?

I assumed there was some sort of plant Epic, perhaps working with a heat Epic and a water Epic, to create the environment necessary to grow coffee beans in such a cold climate. Maybe they're good at growing coffee but lousy at making lattes, so they keep the employees of several shops as slaves so they don't limit themselves to one brand of beverage? And maybe they have "contests" now and then, where they sample the signature drink of each shop and murder all the baristas of the losing shop to encourage high quality among those remaining?

1) Coffee Epic (Someone make this happen)

2) A more general plant Epic

3) a clima Epic creating an area where they can grow.

4) Import per teleporter

There's a line in Steelheart where Megan says that Newcago doesn't receive imports from Latin America; I take this to mean that there are still trade routes active in the world, but Steelheart chooses not to use them for his own nefarious purposes.

 

Then again, your idea is way cooler. Can we name the coffee Epic "Mocha Maxima"?

Maybe he's on bad terms with an Epic in Central Mexico, stemming back to something he calls The Hatch Chili Hairspray Incident. Mere mention of this Incident in his presence is an instant death sentence.

What Happened in Mexico... is too strange to be believed, even on this sub-forum.

 

As a tantalizing hint though, El Brass Bullish Dude would have been the primary antagonist.

I don't know why, but every time I try to picture scenes from WHIM, the dialogue sounds like it was lifted from Nathan and Sam's unwritten Mafia movie.

It´s the one and only time Steelheart wore an Afro ... or he simply wants to prove his independence.

"Steelheart you do not have the brass to stop me."

"Don´t think of yourself to higly little Epic."

"This will be you downfall mister balls of steel, I shall leave you to my minion: El Brass Bullish Haidresser!"

[Kobold King he/him]

Are there better uses for my time than ponifying Mocha Maxima? Certainly.

 

 

 

Somehow none of them are quite as satisfying.

 

If there were a sombrero option in the creator I'd  ponify El Brass Bullish Dude.

Somehow you managed to give a cartoon pony the universal "I want to speak to your manager" look. (I recognized it from the groans of a thousand customer service employees that went up when I saw her picture. )

(It's an awesome pony. )

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Huh. I have an Epic named after Zethes (One of the sons of Boreas). But he's just a speed and flying Epic.

 

Are all these Epics on the Google Doc somewhere or do you just have them? I can't remember seeing this one.

 

Cool. Here's Blackwave conducting a (canon) Job interview. (No, Canon isn't meant to be a pun. There' unfortunately no Cannons)

 

Blackwave crouched down to look in the man’s eyes. “You really sure you want to join my Crew?”

 

The man, hesitated, glancing over his shoulder at the burning city, then nodded. Blackwave grinned and stood up. the two Mariners pulled the kneeling man to his feet. “Alright then. I’ll let you join me crew if you do something for me.”

 

“I’ll do anything, err, m’Lord?” The man’s eyes went from side to side at his captors.

 

“Captain will do. Now, do you see my crew?” The man nodded. “ They’re a right fearsome bunch of Pirates. But they’re all too good at their jobs. Not a one of them have taken a blade to the eye. And I’ve always wanted a crewmember with an Eyepatch. That’s classical Piracy right there.” The man stiffened, as he realized what Blackwave was going to require. “So, I’ll let you join my crew, If you give yourself an Eyepatch.”

 

He pulled one of his daggers out of his hip sheaths and handed it, handle first, to the now quivering man. “You’ve got one minute to do it, or I’ll give Brother Sharkbait another gift.” The prisoner stared at the dagger, then hesitantly took it. He raised it towards his face, then stopped, lowering it. He trembled as he stared at the thin Dagger.

 

“20 Seconds.” Blackwave folded his arms, and stared at the man. Finally, the man lifted the dagger again, pointing it towards his left eye. He hesitated briefly, then squeezed his eyes shut and slammed the dagger in.

Huh. No one else has actually had the guts to take up that offer.

Wow… Um, Astoria's going to be quite the place.

 

I have a brief Electro post ready, but I'm going to wait to post it until I have Max's response too. Electro is getting darker, so don't be surprised by what happens...

 

Joe, that won't conflict with Corpsemaker's orders will it? Electro is just going to have a brief walk out in the town.
