Edgedancer he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It'll likely be a day or two, but yes. I'll send you the first draft that I had of his powerset and my original plan for him. I will probably want some basic details to remain the same, but perhaps from there we can work together on the relationship between Ozy and Mastermind. Who feels like guessing what powers someone with the name Mastermind would have?
Aonar he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) ^: First things that come to mind for me are telepathy/hypnosis and precognition. That would definitely be a cool combination. Good for a more political, behind-the-scenes sort of character. My post is up!Yay! First RPG Post!What do you guys think? Nice. It's pretty good. I'd keep the first person narration. It's a little different from most of what's in here, but you do a really good job with it. (I'm crap at writing first person, myself. ) To try out the red:I've been PMing with Jain, and the current plan is for Frostfire to intercept the pandas escorting Reader. Are you good with that, mail-mi? (The RP won't be ready for a while yet anyways, but I figure I may as well check.) Edited January 27, 2015 by Aonar Faileas 1
Kobold King he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Who feels like guessing what powers someone with the name Mastermind would have? I don't know, but until I'm told otherwise I will assume he looks like this. I'm a little surprised that Nighthound knows about Quicksilver. Can we assume that Nighthound's also familiar with The Dalles' current political arrangment? 1

It does add a unique flavour. I don't know, but until I'm told otherwise I will assume he looks like this. I'm a little surprised that Nighthound knows about Quicksilver. Can we assume that Nighthound's also familiar with The Dalles' current political arrangment? Or like this. Nighthound has been around a lot and I asked fatebreaker before hand how well known Quicksilver is, so this much seemed appropriate. I added the not heard about him since two years bit, because I didn´t want Nighthound about the situation in the Dalles for two reasons. For one, If that was know someone searching for him like Fade (my guess right now is that Quicksilver was involved in murdering his family) should also know and it doesn´t seem like he does and second, should the current situation of the Dalles be widely know to Epics like Nighthound I don´t think the city would have survived this long. 3

Hal acts more like an Epic than Megamind and Metroman combined. 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hal acts more like an Epic than Megamind and Metroman combined. With or without the fear bug in his energy supply?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 With or without the fear bug in his energy supply? With, for the most part. When he first gets his powers, not so much, but after Megamind taunts him, definitely.
Kobold King he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hal acts more like an Epic than Megamind and Metroman Musicman combined. Fixed that for you. I'd like to lodge a small formal retcon request regarding Aldo's powerset. In his original powerset, he possesses the ability to shrink or expand an item by an order of magnitude. For instance, he could touch a measuring stick that's a meter long, and he could shrink it down to ten centimeters or enlarge it to ten meters in length. Since his power hasn't been explicitly described as such in the narrative, to the best of my knowledge, I'd like to subtly tweak it so that an order of magnitude is his limit, not his sole power. So to use the meter stick example, he could shrink it down to half a meter in length, but still couldn't make it any smaller than ten centimeters. He could engorge it to seven meters, but couldn't make it any larger than ten meters. Hope that makes sense. Twi, would that be permissible? Everyone else, objections, thoughts? 3

He has eeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyes that can see through leeeeeeeaaaaad..... I don't think that'll be a problem. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 He has eeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyes that can see through leeeeeeeaaaaad..... I don't think that'll be a problem. "Granted you have talent!" I'm thinking that Musicman, Royal Pain, and Captain Hammer should all be the names of Backtrack's former employers. Cool. I think it fits Aldo's showmanship a little better, and gives me a little more flexibility to play with. So if someone hands him a small mallet, he can quickly turn it into a Comically Oversized Mallet without making it too big to carry. 2

"One of life's great mysteries." I would support this bit of backstory. I realized that especially the first verse of "My Eyes" fits Obliteration's worldview almost perfectly. Sounds good. So when can we see him create a comically oversized mallet for a game of Koschei Whack-a-Mole? 3

So when can we see him create a comically oversized mallet for a game of Koschei Whack-a-Mole? It does. Throw in a few quotes from Revelation and he could be the singer. It just occurred to me that Altermind could cause people to hallucinate a chorus of singing cowboys whenever someone opened one of his letters. Alas, but that would be impossible, with Koschei dead and all. But don't despair! I could count ten slontzes that need to get hammered over the head with a ridiculously enormous mallet off the top of my head. 2

Pronto. Nighthound Quota Timeport Nighthound Lucentia Nighthound Lightwards Quicksilver Reader Nighthound CorpseMaker Electro Nighthound Nighthound Nighthound Huh. That's way more than ten. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 You forgot the panel where a pouting Funtimes asks why she doesn't get a letter full of singing cowboys. 2
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 You forgot the panel where a pouting Funtimes asks why she doesn't get a letter full of singing cowboys. I feel it coming...
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Nice one. I´ll have to get used to the first person narration, but that´s me. The name Mastermind sounds fammiliar but I´m not sure if that´s because I forgot him between Quicksilver and Ringmaster or because the name is somewhat generic. Me too. It was a bit confusing at first. Mailliw. Altermind. Letter to Sam. Singing cowboys. Make it happen. Pronto. Not sure why that's in a spoiler. He can't affect such a far range, but he could always sneak along with the letter, hidden by an illusion. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 You forgot the panel where a pouting Funtimes asks why she doesn't get a letter full of singing cowboys. Funtimes! Funtimes! Funtimes! She travels through the nation The patron saint of fun She got the application That you just got done But since you used no glitter She refused to take a look So draw a tiny rainbow horse (Some sparkles would be nice of course) Funtimes! Funtimes! Funtimes! She's fun! The Evil League of Exes Is watching from afar Show those bunch of meanies That here Fun is in charge! So make the Doctor gleeful Or she'll stick you in tar... The party's start, We're out of rhymes, It's time to party! Signed Funtimes. 2
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Me too. It was a bit confusing at first. Sorry. So does everyone not want me to do it again?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I actually like the first person viewpoint. It's a refreshing change of pace that reminds me of Dresden.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I actually like the first person viewpoint. It's a refreshing change of pace that reminds me of Dresden. It's not bad. I was just confused at first since it's the only one like that. Part of the reason is because when I was reading my email notification, i skimmed the beginning part and I just saw Panda and assumed it was Lightsworn. I was confused for the longest time until I saw the decay being used. 1

(Two characters I absolutely adore.)
mail-mi he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 I've been PMing with Jain, and the current plan is for Frostfire to intercept the pandas escorting Reader. Are you good with that, mail-mi? (The RP won't be ready for a while yet anyways, but I figure I may as well check.) Yeah, totally. It'll make things more interesting, and I'm all for more interesting .
