Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Even Backtrack would laugh at him... Or maybe not. *looks at Backtrack genuinely crying in a corner* But their powers combined! Backtrack: You had a turkey sandwhich for lunch yesterday. Metronome: It was at 11:37 Steelheart: *Looks utterly perplexed* 5
Kobold King he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Even a minor epic with a mildly useful power would laugh at him. Well, I suppose anything is better than a vanilla, right? Even Backtrack has more badchull temporal abilities than Metronome. 2
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 An Epic I just created because I was struck with the strangest bolt of inspiration: Ostrich Primary Power: Ostrich has the ability to transform into an ostrich when he feels threatened, and will promptly try to bury his head. Leads to interesting if not painful situations when his ability activates whilst standing above asphalt. Secondary Power: Occasionally, when Ostrich is transformed, he has a chance of taking flight, breaking the laws of science in a most spectacular way. 2
Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Even Backtrack has more badchull temporal abilities than Metronome. Although they're completely opposite in their reactions to their power. Backtrack continually cowering and thinking how useless it is. Metronome challenging High Epics to duels while proclaiming his awesome powers. 1

Am I the only one who wants to see a duel between Metronome and Backtrack? One that results in Backtrack crying because Metronome started the duel by cruelly mocking him? 2

If history is anything to go by a post that involves Backtrack crying will be approved of by approximately everyone 1
Kobold King he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 If history is anything to go by a post that involves Backtrack crying will be approved of by approximately everyone We should do it, then. I could use another popular post. 2
Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 We should do it, then. I could use another popular post. We could have him meet Metronome somewhere in the Dalles, trying desperately to convince the city guard that his power is not just a weird talent but an Epic power. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) We could have him meet Metronome somewhere in the Dalles, trying desperately to convince the city guard that his power is not just a weird talent but an Epic power. The City Guard wouldn't even try to shoot him. They'd simply pat him on the head, tell him what a powerful High Epic he is, and send him on his way while muttering "God bless him" under their breaths. EDIT: We should do it, then. I could use another popular post. This post was a joke. I didn't mean it to be offensive or gloating or mean-spirited, to whomever downvoted it. If need be I will hide it from the forum.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 The City Guard wouldn't even try to shoot him. They'd simply pat him on the head, tell him what a powerful High Epic he is, and send him on his way while muttering "God bless him" under their breaths. I learned from a friend in the American South that "Bless your heart" is Southern for "You're an idiot." I have a feeling quite a few Guardsmen would bless Metronome's heart. 4

Himself included. 1
Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Any chance of getting a 'From the files of David Charleston' for Metronome? 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Any chance of getting a 'From the files of David Charleston' for Metronome? Seconded!
Guest Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 @Kobold Sorry. Was accident. I learned from a friend in the American South that "Bless your heart" is Southern for "You're an idiot." I have a feeling quite a few Guardsmen would bless Metronome's heart. Similar to saying, "You've got a servant's heart," which means, "START STACKIN' CHAIRS!"
Kobold King he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Any chance of getting a 'From the files of David Charleston' for Metronome? Give me a Metronome pony and I'll make a file. (Once I do Mailliw's Altermind file, of course. ) @Kobold Sorry. Was accident. Oh, OK. It's no problem. Edited February 9, 2015 by Kobold King
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 @Kobold Sorry. Was accident. Similar to saying, "You've got a servant's heart," which means, "START STACKIN' CHAIRS!" It's okay. I fixed it. NO. KIDDING. Or "You have such a gifting in this area," which is code for "The only other volunteer quit and you're the only one who's stuck around, so you're on your own from now on. Have fun teaching 20 screaming kids on your own!" 1
Voidus Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Give me a Metronome pony and I'll make a file. (Once I do Mailliw's Altermind file, of course. ) I'm on phone atm, anyone else want to ponify him?
Aonar he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Not at all. Were you already making plans for them? Not much in detail, but I'm thinking the more the League stays together, the better chance they'll have of actually surviving in Astoria, even with Azrael's protection. Frostfire post is up. Hopefully Reader's finally learned a little humility. (Mostly because I really don't know how I'm going to keep Reader alive through this if he hasn't. )
Aonar he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks. Although if you want more scenes like that, that means people need to keep ticking off Frostfire... which could be a very, very bad thing for the people of the Dalles. (And everyone else who happens to be nearby.)
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I leave for a Day, and come back to another twenty pages to read. Were any major decisions or requests of me made?

Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I rewrote Lockvault and created four additional Epic ideas. I am hoping that when Astoria opens up I can join, so I would appreciate knowing where all of the planing and such is going down. Lockvault Epic Name: Lockvault Real Name: Zeis Raynes Gender: Male Age: 21 Powers: -Dimensional Storage: Can place objects in another dimension and draw them forth later. Cannot place sentient things there. Small things can be placed and withdrawn easily, bigger things take longer. While in Storage things stay in the same state as they were placed in. Therefore, food does not go rancid and things stay at the same speed, thst type of thing. He can Withdraw objects from Storage around him in about a fifty foot radius. Doing it farther is harder than doing it closer. -Danger Sense. He knows approximately ten seconds ahead of time if he is in danger. If he is distracted he will not notice the warnings from his Danger Sense. -Mental Storage: Keeps all of his memories. He can Recall anything that has happened to him, so long as he remembers that he remembers. -Increased Mental Acuity. Although not really a declarative power, he csn think faster than normal people. This helps him to know where to Withdraw things and Appearance: Wears a long black cloak that billows when he walks and has lots of pockets (redundant with his powers, but hey, he's an Epic and he thinks it looks cool). He has gray eyes and black hair. Shorter than average and thin but always walks with a straight back so the height isn't always noticed at first Alternate Persona: -He has an alter ego of him as a non-Epic, normal person. Since he can easily Withdraw and Place things from storage he likes to sneak around as another person. When Sneaking he goes by the name of Tagon Vohs. He is dressed in a utilitarian jacket, cargo pants, and sturdy boots. Since he can use his Dimensional Storage to hold lots of things he can usually make pretty good disguises, but the above is his go to. Personality: -He is lazy about many things, but if anything can get him moving, it is information. He loves to know everything and is very curious. He was a nerd before he became an Epic. He likes to go around without people knowing he is an Epic at times. He thinks it is funny when people can't tell, who he is. After Sneaking around he will often reveal himself so he gloat and show how badly people have been duped. -He is a bit crazy and talks to his wristwatch, Shay, who he always carries in both his Epic and his Sneaking personas. -He likes to organize and give things titles. Storage is what he calls his Dimensional Space. Placing is what he calls putting things into Storage. Withdrawing or Drawing is what he calls pulling things from Storage. Sneaking is what he calls using his normal persona. He calls his Mental Storage his Memory. Withdrawing things from his Memory he usually calls Recall. Backstory: Got his powers while in his first period Calculus class. He Placed the entire school into Storage and proceeded rampage around town and Place other things such as items from a gun shop, a bank, a museum, and anything he wanted that he passed while in that initial state. Winterspell Epic Name: Winterspell Real Name: Trevor Sol Gender: Male Age: 29 Powers: -His primary power is reducing temperatures of nearby materials. He can also raise them, but only from a reduced temperature to a normal one, no higher. -His Secondary power is water manipulation. These two powers combined make him able to make something with the water manipulation and then harden it to become ice. His ice is extra hard and durable. -His third ability is he can sense water within a half mile radius. -His fourth ability is being able to melt and reform himself. In this state he becomes waterlike and then can form back up when he needs to. If he is hurt, that part of him shatters like ice and the pieces will melt and then slowly come back to reform on him (this is a Prime Invincibility). Appearance: His hair is pure white. He no facial hair. He looks very pale and white. He is very tall and thin. He dresses mostly in light blues, white, and deep black. He wears a swirling white and blue cloak over a black vest, a white open top collared shirt, and black pants. Personality: Like all Epics he is self-centered. He sees himself above other people including other Epics. He is surprisingly loyal to those around him, but if they do not reciprocate he will destroy them with a fiery vengeance. Other than that his demeanor is cold, quite cold. Squire Epic Name: Squire Real Name: John Denth Gender: Male Age: 34 Powers: -He is primarily a Gifter, able to transform normal people into Epic-like beings. He can affect up to four others, whom he calls his Horsemen. -The Horseman Prescience has the ability to see through walls and see partislly into the future, but only if he is not moving and is focused on it. -The Horseman War is given increased strength and density. His skin is extremely hard to pierce. -The Horseman Journey is able to teleport, he can teleport up to a mile at a time with a recharge time of about thirty seconds. He can bring people along but his cooldown time increases with each person by an additional thirty seconds. -The Horseman Energy can shoot lances of lightning out of his fingers. He needs to be precise as they aren't very large and go exactly where he is pointing. -As for Squire himself, the only power that he can use for himself is that he can heal himself faster than normal people. Grave or mortal wounds can still take a while, but he will be out of bed before the average person. If Squire dies, his Horsemen lose their powers. If he is knocked unconscious then they need to be within 100 feet of him or they lose their powers. While he is conscious rhey can be up to one mile away. Appearance: They all wear black jackets and pants. The jackets have a symbol on the breast pocket and each sleeve at the shoulder. The symbol is of four triangles with points facing outwards surrounding a circle. Squire himself is shorter than normal and slightly overweight. He has slicked back black hair and a black goatee. Personality: He is a glutton, since he can have Travel send him whereever he want he does not usually walk more than he needs to. He usually carries at least two guns and usually uses more bullets rather than accuracy to take out his targets. In a world full of Epics, he is pretty stupid as he likes to be with his Horsemen. He is overconfident in their ability to protect him. Selfsame Epic name: Selfsame Real Name: Serene Frost Gender: Female Age: 34 Powers: -Can make up to four additional copies of herself. They all share the same experiences and can work independently of each other. If one dies, she can live on in another so long as it is fully formed, even if the original Selfsame dies. It takes about a minute to copy herself. Appearance: Wears her hair in a ponytail. Is tall and fit. She wears thick black leather body armor and carries a sword in a sheath, a rifle, two knives and two handguns. Personality: She throws herself into everything she does with passion, getting it done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Because she can often accomplish tasks quickly using five bodies and a linked mind, she is impatient and hates to wait upon others. She is good with rifles, handguns, and melee weapons. She isn't into things that require lots of exterior planning and thinking. Point her at a target and she will be ruthless and efficient, killing them as quickly as she is able or dying in the process. Birthright Epic Name: Birthright Real Name: Alaric Stuart Gender: Male Age: 26 Powers: -Can use the powers of any Epic that he his killed, but only one at a time. He can see the memories of any person (Epic and vanilla) that he has killed. -His original power was the ability to accelerate projectiles at incredible speeds. Appearance: Wears a red cloak with a black suit. The suit has accents in gold and is sharply cut. He has blond hair and is of average hieght with a muscular body. Personality: He thinks incredibly high of himself. He feels that he is the Heir of the world, that if another Epic is in his way it is his right to take him out and take his powers. When talking with people, he expects them to follow his commands and does not look kindly on disobedience or traitors. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I leave for a Day, and come back to another twenty pages to read. Were any major decisions or requests of me made? Nothing major. Two new members joining, and a few requests to open the Astoria thread soonish, but nothing huge, I think. Wow. Reader is not happy with Ethan Mitchell at all right now. Wait a minute... ...if we get back into the Dalles, and Reader goes to see Doctor Game quickly enough... ...we get another Backtrack/Reader conversation... ...and Reader sees Autumn and Shiny Sparkle. THIS MUST HAPPEN YES. Bring Reader to the office in time to see Autumn and Shiny Sparkle!
Kobold King he/him Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I leave for a Day, and come back to another twenty pages to read. Were any major decisions or requests of me made? I became the Chief Aide to Lady Darthina Glitterstein, but otherwise not much of import happened, besides what TwiLyght said. Wow. Reader is not happy with Ethan Mitchell at all right now. Wait a minute... ...if we get back into the Dalles, and Reader goes to see Doctor Game quickly enough... ...we get another Backtrack/Reader conversation... ...and Reader sees Autumn and Shiny Sparkle. THIS MUST HAPPEN I support this. TwiLyght, what would Funtimes' general demeanor be like as she kills the ants? Would she give an annoyed Tsssk sound, or would she giggle as she traps them in wood? Would she say anything?
