Voidus Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 New Epics both look good, welcome to the RP guys! His power sounds a lot like Summoner's. I like him. What if his Storage and Summoner's Other were the same place? (I'm not sure this could actually happen, since they have slightly different restrictions, but it's cool to think about.) Which is also the same dimension Sidestep uses, so he can go there and steal all their stuff 1

Kobold King he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I go to bed, and when I come back there are two awesome new player characters? I cannot believe my eyes. One thing I'd point out is that the novel specifically mentions that no Epic has ever surfaced with the ability to transmutate gold--though seeing as I created a necromancer despite the novel's warning that no Epic can raise the dead, I'm definitely not one to talk. A few questions: Does Lockvault ever leave large mallets or comedic props in his pocket universe? Can the Alchemist reincarnate cross-species? Has the Alchemist ever reincarnated as David Tennant before? 1
Voidus Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I'm currently only waitting on Mailliw, Voidus and Mail finishing up their Collonel introduction side plot, after that it´s only a matter of me getting enough time to finish the introduction post. (By the way, would anyone want me to set up a meeting between characters in that first post.) We're nearly done I think, shouldn't be long now. Well Bioterror would be more likely to approach the existing leadership and try to net himself a position there until he found out more about the other Epics in Astoria rather than attacking the city straight up. So that's a possibility. I'm pretty excited to write the Adventurer, I miss writing crazy!PurplePhoenix. He was a fun character.
Voidus Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Oh my gosh, this would be HILARIOUS. Oh, you guys got robbed? That's sad... This stuff? Lottery. Yep I won the lottery and bought all this stuff 3

Voidus Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 How can I have reached my upvote quota already, Quota? It's eight in the morning here! The whims of Quota are a fickle thing. Almost as fickle as the upvote monkey.
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 We really are getting a lot of new guys, neat. Hello all, I hope to join the rp soon and TwiLyght instructed me to post me draft here so I can receive input from you guys. Well here he is: ------------------------------------Epic Name: The AlchemistPrimary Power: Reincarnation. Upon death, Nikolai reforms in a random location with a completely new body. He retains all of his memories upon waking. A new body’s appearance, gender and apparent age seem completely random with each new form having it’s own strengths, weaknesses and quirks.Secondary Power: Golden Touch. With varying amounts of concentration and energy expenditure Nikolai can transmute any solid substance to pure gold. The larger the object, the more concentration, time and energy are required to transmute it. The process is by no means instantaneous. Example: an object the size of a small marble would take a few minutes and cause him to feel a bit peckish, whereas something like a life-size statue would take a good number of hours and leave him faint, barely able to stand afterward.Weakness(es): Betrayal of a beloved woman. During his early years he was befriended by and fell in love with a young woman. In reality she was a con artist, and he her mark. Him being a insecure and naive fellow it took little time before she had insinuated herself in his heart, mind and life. When she left him, bank accounts emptied (clearing him of his modest inheritance) and heart-broken something inside him just...snapped. He wandered the streets for years, his mental state slowly deteriorating until he was hearing voices. Penniless and broken he eventually tried to end his life. A hotel maid walked in on his attempt however, and he was rushed to the hospital. Once he recovered, he was deemed mentally unstable, a risk to himself and others and so was placed in a mental health facility. There he remained for 3 years until the arrival of Calamity and the dawn of the Epics. The star’s crimson glow transformed him that night, as it did countless others. He eventually wandered free after the facility was abandoned in the wake of Epic attacks. A short time later he was killed for the first time, cut down by an Epic named Snapshot. He awoke some time later, miles away with a brand new body. With this death came clarity. With the help of the voices in his head he eventually came to fully realize the extent of his abilities. He traveled aimlessly for about a year, selling little bits of his gold, before eventually making his way to the war-torn state of Oregon.Appearance(current):-Eyes: Dark brown, wears glasses(for nearsightedness)-Skin tone: Caucasian, lightly tanned-Hair: light wavy sandy brown-Build: Tall but thin.-Gender: Male-Apparent age: mid 20’s-Clothing: Light grey trench coat, purple button-down shirt, bright orange bowtie, black jeans and hiking shoes.-Possessions: clothing(as noted above), revolver, mobile and worn paperback copy of Name of the WindName: Nikolai FlementAge: 22Gender: MaleSO: StraightHome City: MinneapolisInterests: Books, ginger ale and Epics. Do his resurrection also come with different personalities or are the changes simply cosmetic? Could you go into a bit more details with the voices he´s hearing and how they would help him? Might I also point out that both "betrayal" and "beloved" are rather vague terms. We're nearly done I think, shouldn't be long now.Well Bioterror would be more likely to approach the existing leadership and try to net himself a position there until he found out more about the other Epics in Astoria rather than attacking the city straight up. So that's a possibility.I'm pretty excited to write the Adventurer, I miss writing crazy!PurplePhoenix. He was a fun character. Then the best person for him to contact right now would probably be Deathgale. There´s always the option of killing him some more. How can I have reached my upvote quota already, Quota? It's eight in the morning here! seems like he´s getting arrogant, because you haven´t gotten rid of him yet. You should do it fast. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 seems like he´s getting arrogant, because you haven´t gotten rid of him yet. You should do it fast. I'm working on it.
Kobold King he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Can it be assumed that the Tillamook cottage is still littered with diamonds, or am I forgetting something?
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Can it be assumed that the Tillamook cottage is still littered with diamonds, or am I forgetting something? I think Funtimes turned them into pralines.
Kobold King he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I think Funtimes turned them into pralines. I see. Is there an ant problem in Oregon? 'Cuz here in Texas, anything as sugary as a praline left on the floor all day will attract veritable hordes of ants.

A few questions: Does Lockvault ever leave large mallets or comedic props in his pocket universe? Can the Alchemist reincarnate cross-species? Has the Alchemist ever reincarnated as David Tennant before? That is true good sir. Prof does mention that none have surfaced, yet(which if an Epic used such a power sparingly, as The Alchemist does, he wouldn't draw any undue attention. Therefore Prof's lack of knowledge is justified) I believe this implies that despite their being no record of a gold-transmuting Epic, it by no means out of the realm of possibilities. It's not exactly a combat power, so there's no reason for anyone to know about it. As for your questions: No he can't reincarnate across species. And no, as much as I love Tennant he has not, in fact, reincarnated as him.

Yeah I'm happy for the gold transmutation to still exist, I'm pretty sure it was only mentioned in-book to keep some standard of currency available.
lwd24era he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Yeah I'm happy for the gold transmutation to still exist, I'm pretty sure it was only mentioned in-book to keep some standard of currency available. I believe so as well. And I hardly think one Epic covertly making a selling inconspicuous bits of the metal(such as transmuted coins or small rocks) would devalue you it.

And I hardly think one Epic covertly making a selling inconspicuous bits of the metal(such as transmuted coins or small rocks) would devalue you it. I agree. Do you know much about the current balance of power in The Dalles? Have you read any of the game thread, or do you need a summary?
lwd24era he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I agree. Do you know much about the current balance of power in The Dalles? Have you read any of the game thread, or do you need a summary? I honestly do not. I found it a wee bit confusing. I would love a summary. Also, has anyone comprised a master-list of all the Epics and human characters in the rp? Like alive and dead.

lwd24era he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 They have indeed. That's the part I found confusing. Everything's hidden and split between posts.

Here is a summary of the current factions. I wrote it a while back, but nothing's changed since then and the post got a lot of upvotes, so why write up another? Hope it helps! 1

I believe I'll be creating a couple more characters as well some Epics to donate.
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 That's the part I found confusing. Everything's hidden and split between posts. That´s kind of the point. The characters are in the post of the person that controls them and the spoiler helps things from becomming to massive to navigate. (Although I admid that with some people it´s still hard to tell if they belong to Portland or the Dalles.) A couple of questions you haven´t answered yet. Do his resurrection also come with different personalities or are the changes simply cosmetic? Could you go into a bit more details with the voices he´s hearing and how they would help him? Might I also point out that both "betrayal" and "beloved" are rather vague terms.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 I see. Is there an ant problem in Oregon? 'Cuz here in Texas, anything as sugary as a praline left on the floor all day will attract veritable hordes of ants. There's definitely ants, but it's never as bad indoors as outdoors. Then again, there were a couple holes in the floor....so if you want to see Funtimes turn the floor underneath the ants into water just long enough to trap them in the wood, go ahead and mention the ants. (And if you wanted to add the ant-trapping thing to your post, go ahead.) 1

(Although I admid that with some people it´s still hard to tell if they belong to Portland or the Dalles.) A couple of questions you haven´t answered yet. Ahhh I get it now. Thank you for that bit of enlightenment. To answer your questions: His resurrections/reincarnations do not come with any explicit personality change. Honestly even he doesn't know much about his voices. They have nothing to do with his being an Epic, seeing as he had them pre-calamity. They're basically under a dozen different voices that speak to him internally and help him cope with the world. As for the word choice of "betrayal" and "beloved" I really don't agree that they are vague, considering the back-story I gave. His weakness is being betrayed by someone he loves. Examples of betrayal: harming him maliciously, exposing his secrets for personal gain, etc. Basically something that you or I would consider a betrayal of love and trust. Honestly if that weakness doesn't work I can scrap it and create another. Edited February 8, 2015 by lwd24era
