Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 On the other hand, it would be hard to get the glitter out of that soup...
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Problems with this plan. First let me bring up a few limits you set for the Panda, he needs half an hour for a clone, can only make twenty or so complex alterations a day before collapsing from exhaustion, his powers need a certain amount of concentration and can die from brain damage. Between exhausting himself the day before by creating that tree fortres, already growing himself wings, being fired at with missiles and even if he turned his skull into something hard enough to survive the explosions his landing will give him some rather serious brain bleedings, things don´t exactly look good for him. Now, it´s his own body, so we can give him some slack but he should still need some time to heal, letting Vondra get some distance between them, and be noticalby exhausted afterwards, especially if he grows himself a new pair of wings. Overall, I would say the Panda should be more concerned with survival than attacking. In case the Panda, somehow still finds himself in a condition to attack he first needs to catch up the the helicopter, at which point Redlight, as already mentioned, can stop him. Screaching won´t work either here, because if the helicopter crew isn´t wearing some kind of ear protection firing all their weapons made them officially deaf. With the time it would take to get to this point reinforcment could also arrive. Namely, Deadwish (one post by Kobold), Scribbler, Edgerunner (1/2 posts by Mailliw/Voidus) and Shiny Sparkle (one post by Twi and another from me). Now we would have a redlighted panda being wailed on by four Epics and whatever the soldiers bring with them. Sorry but I don´t think we have enough plot armour/convenience to let the Panda win here. Appart from what Voidus already said, if blocking it out won´t work how would screeching help? The problem with bringing him and his likes to Astoria is that most Epics there can kill those that don´t qualify as high Epics wiithin seconds. I think as long as Mastermind stays in the background that isn´t to much of a problem, but should he ever come into the action I don´t think even he could tame our chaos. It might be interesting to you that I get to answer this RAFO. The dream rejuvenated The Panda. Zealous faith is powering him on right now. Well, I guess The Panda isn't going to win this one (By the way, ear protection muffles, but it doesn't block out. So loud sounds like gunshots will be made into low "thud" sounds, but high pitched sounds could potentially break through.) Alright: Take 2. The Panda can heal very quickly from wounds. faster than even the Wolverine. While the helicopter is retreating, The Panda retreats towards the ground to a nearby group of captured humans. In full sight of Vondra, he transforms them into pandas, possibly antagonizing Vondra to come down and attack him. Meanwhile, his Epics and some of his pandas converge to areas close to him (but unseen by the Guards and Epics) and prepare for a possible ambush. Screeching would force Siren to cover his ears in agony, breaking him off from his song. It's cheaper if you don't buy them. Here in Texas the summer is plagued by grasshoppers. They get everywhere; in the garden, in the house, in your boots, in your garden, in your windshield, in your car, in your garden... did I mention the garden? Because a green garden can be turned tan from the number of locusts invading it. So we decided: Wait. Don't some people eat these things? Once they went from "nuisance" to "free food," they really weren't that bad. Collecting them is a simple matter of going through a garden or other infested area with a ziploc bag. Fill up the bag with live grasshoppers, and then place said bag into a freezer. After about an hour in the freezer, snap off their heads and throw them in a frying pan. Voila! Free protein and the right to tell everybody you meet that you harvest and consume your own grasshoppers. Wow. Over a decade, you say? My current setting is a composite of a dozen alien races / magical concepts that I've been brainstorming since I was fifteen. I've only recently put them all together, though. Hopefully in another seven years I'll have a much larger, more well-rounded setting than what I have now. Rather than giving up altogether and writing historical soap operas about the Aztecs. Nice try idea, but here's what I'd keep in mind: The pilots are trained and experienced in going up against flying Epics. The moment it becomes clear that the Panda's healing factor has kicked in, they will quickly fall back and cover their retreat with their remaining anti-aircraft weaponry. If the Panda continued to pursue them, they'd evade his attacks long enough to call Deathwish into the area to engage him directly. And if Panda actually came close enough to smash the front windshield, then Redlight would freeze him in a heartbeat. Unable to move his own muscles, his wings would stop flapping and he'd drop to the ground. So yeah... I may have been slightly facetious when I said Panda could take the helicopter in a curbstomp battle. The helicopter will definitely put up a good fight. See above. 1
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 There's people younger than 16 on this forum? Mail-mi and Inexorable are 16. Ashiok from SE is 14. Well, June 30th. I misread your birth month on 'dis tiny widdle scween. Funny thing is, I never would have pegged you, Joe, Kobold, and Mailliw as teens. I haven't posted my actual birthday on my profile for 1. Privacy 2. I was on a forum before where once people knew my birthday, it seemed as though my opinion became unimportant by virtue of my age. After being here for a while though, I'm fairly certain that that won't happen. I'll take that as a compliment. While on the matter, I know The Metal´s invulerability is on Steelheart´s level but what about Jaguar, Mailliw? On the invulnerability subject my current classifications are: Tier 1: Hardened skin, difficult but not impossible to pierce, high caliber ammunition or a shot to sensitive area can still penetrate, still vulnerable to large enough force of impact. Tier 2: Impenetrable skin, cannot be penetrated by any kind of weaponry. Still vulnerable to large impact trauma, heat, radiation, etc. Tier 3: Physical immunity, skin cannot be penetrated or crushed in any way. Completely immune to both piercing and blunt-force attacks. Tier 4: Complete external immunity, cannot be burned, irradiated, killed with lasers or energy weapons. Tier 5: Complete cellular immunity, cannot be poisoned, drowned, asphyxiated or killed through any means, body maintains a cellular stasis, preventing any alteration to bodily tissue whatsoever. (Steelheart) If that helps people clarify. It was one of the PI's I thought had the most variability in terms of protection. Using this, Jag's a Tier 3 for sure, maybe a Tier 4. I'm not sure which it should be. No Kobold, don´t waste yourself on being the redshirt. We need you for our morals. Alright, seems like we got out five-man band together. Does anyone want to be our sixth Ranger? I call a spot! I'll be the Mizzy of the team. 2
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Yet another that I wouldn't have pegged as that young. And that is, in fact, a compliment.
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Probably. Did I miss something? Or is this for real?
Kobold King he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks! Now I want to commit suicide... Shouldn't that be negative? I did a double take before I realized you were referring to your rep level. Who's up next in Baxter Game's office? I forget.
Guest Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Oh right. I was freaking out here. Don't do that to me.
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 No, I've read it. Until I got the reference though, I thought you were referring to actual suicide. Apparently I'm slower than Kobold...
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I'm not sure whether that was an insult to Kobold, a compliment to me, or both...
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) No, that was just me. I can , however provide a Star Wars reference. "Hate...of the dark side, it is." Yoda said that, so you know it's true. Edit: and I've got to go eat dinner...have fun peeps... Edited January 31, 2015 by inexorablePanda
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I will never again be able to watch his fight with Count Dooku again without thinking Stormlight when he has the ball of Force lightning.
Kobold King he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I once wrote an entire essay on why I believe that in-universe, the Star Wars movies are a series of propaganda films produced to promote the charismatic dictatorship of Luke Skywalker, and that the Sith are actually an oppressed religious minority analogous to the Jews of Nazi Germany. My mother/teacher said that she'd never look at those movies the same way again. I've also been told that I should be writing fanfiction. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Can you show me it? It sounds... interesting. I'd have to do a bit of digging to find it, but if there's interest I might pretty it up a bit and post it.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I'm under sixteen as well and younger than Ashiok. Not gonna post my actual age but I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest. Surprise! I also wouldn't have thought you were that young. Wow. I'm impressed. Kobold, that sounds interesting, I'd read it. This weekend, I should have more time to catch up in both docs for Connell and the Triumvirate as well as do Altermind's post. Hopefully. Maybe I'll finally finish my profile for Padiá too.
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I'd have to do a bit of digging to find it, but if there's interest I might pretty it up a bit and post it. There is interest. Of course, I might have to get all axe murderer angry with you if you destroy Star Wars for me, but hey, it sounds fascinating.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Like Winter said, Funtimes has no PI, both her teleportation and her matter manipulation are active abilities (i.e., she has to engage them consciously; bullets don't automatically turn to jelly beans when they near her) and her range is rather limited (she couldn't suddenly decide a building across town needed to become a giant Jello mold and have it become a giant Jello mold without going to the building and changing it). And, like I told Kobold, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking of ways to make her less powerful. I knew she was powerful at the outset, but the last thing I want to do is make her game-breakingly powerful. (Over the course of the RP, many of her fights have ended in truces or stalemates; her fight with Fortuity ended the way it did (I recently learned) because his weakness was in effect.) She also read these quotes right here. I'm sure the Doctor would make an excellent soup though... On the other hand, it would be hard to get the glitter out of that soup... I hope you're pleased with yourself.
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Heh. Hey, just so everyone knows, effective tomorrow, I will be changing my name to "Snoopy" I will keep my title and pic the same for a while, but the name will be changing.
Guest Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) *intentional double post* This thought just struck me. When Funtimes turns completely evil, she should reenact that one Joker scene from The Dark Knight. Funtimes: Hey kid, I'm gonna show you a magic trick. I'm gonna make this pencil...disappear. Excited kid: Cool! *walks over as Funtimes stabs pencil into table* What are you going to turn it into, Funtimes?! Funtimes: *slams kid down on pencil* Hey look. It...disappeared. Edit: I just realized that I should probably be added to Kurkistan's list for that post...that was really dark. Edited January 31, 2015 by inexorablePanda
mail-mi he/him Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 New Reader post up! It's a short one, but he didn't really have that much to do. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 New Reader post up! It's a short one, but he didn't really have that much to do. Aaaaannnnnnnd his slontziness rears its ugly head again. Seriously, Reader? You can't rein it in when you're being rescued? 1

You haven't read Portland yet, but Nighthound is awful and recently, Quota, Timeport, and Electro are making it up the list too. Electro actually had a Joker-esque scene. Similar to the Ferry scene, only slightly different. There's also a scene from Max that was made to emulate one from the Avengers. (The old man in Germany.) Like Winter said, Funtimes has no PI, both her teleportation and her matter manipulation are active abilities (i.e., she has to engage them consciously; bullets don't automatically turn to jelly beans when they near her) and her range is rather limited (she couldn't suddenly decide a building across town needed to become a giant Jello mold and have it become a giant Jello mold without going to the building and changing it).

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 As promised some days ago, here is my sister's second drawing, this one of Nightweilder. She's also experimenting with the manga style in hopes of learning to draw faces, so we might get that drawing of Conflux after all. 3
