Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) No one ever said we couldn't make LightwardsXCoinXHat an OTT. Still better than Lucentia and Mr. Hamsterface. Muk/Grimer are basically the Smooze, who is immune to all non flutterpony Magic. The EoH don't do anything against them. . . Lord Sombra is a Pony made completely from Darkness. Nightmare moon was Luna corrupted by a different Group of Sentient Darkness. Batponies are Pegasi infused with small amounts of that same Darkness. That Darkrii card you made is just Discord, another MLP Character. Just give up Illuminati. They got to me, they'll get to you. There's also still that tree of Harmony, which apparently gives them enough power to curbstomp Dragonball characters judging by the season final and Discord just sock puppeting all pokemons (who can be captured in a human made device even if they are "gods") I don't think the pokemon universe could put up much of a fight, if we go with a full power throw down. Although realistically Flutershy would just befriend all the pokemon and become the most powerful pokemon trainer ever. Edited June 24, 2015 by Edgedancer 3
Mailliw73 he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Aaand, the Rainmaker post is up! I'm excited for this scene, and can't wait to see Hypno in action. Also, Mailliw, I'm having trouble finding Hypno's power profile. Would you mind linking me to it? I'm excited too! What a jerk, never telling Hypno a time and then mad because he's late. Eh, he deserves it. Epic Name: Hypno Human Name: Hector Ponte Weakness: CENSORED Primary Power: Hypnosis: He is able to hypnotize anyone he meets. They are then hypnotized for up to an hour, unless he cuts it off. While hypnotized, they will be incredibly prone to suggestion from anyone and will seem dazed. They will be able to focus extremely well on anything they are told to. He can hypnotize around ten people like this at once. Secondary Power: Commands: Hypno can command anyone to do anything. His commands order the person to do as he says and only the strongest willed can resist when he is focusing on them. He can command up to five regular people at once at full strength. The more people he affects, or the strong willed they are, the less his power affects them. At his best, he can command a hundred people, but his commands will be received only as advice. If he commanded a large crowd to jump off a cliff, for instance, they might look at the cliff and then laugh, if they are strong willed, or take a couple steps towards it a bit if they are easily swayed. While commanding only one person, Hypno could force someone to walk off the cliff regardless of their inhibitions. Passive Power: Hypno is impervious to mental powers. Illusions, emotional manipulation, etc. Appearance: Hector is half-Hispanic on his father's side. He is around 5'7", making him shorter than average. He is very thin and wiry. At his age, he isn't very muscular, but as a young adult, he was lean and strong and traces of that can still be seen in his arms. He has dark black hair, now peppered with gray. He has very dark eyes. He likes to dress in a bit of costume, so he wears a dramatic purple and black cape on his suit. He always has a polka dot yellow tie on. Age: 62 Home City: Fairfield, Washington Weaponry: He keeps a handgun in a shoulder holster, but relies on his powers more. Hypno is an arrogant, selfish Epic. He had traces of these emotions before he became an Epic, though not as strong. He lived in Washington most of his life, mainly in Spokane and Fairfield before he moved to Corvallis. As a child, Hector had wanted to be a magician. He had loved seeing their magic tricks and had learned quite a few simple ones. To this day, he still is great at palming objects and distracting people from what he's really doing. As he grew older, he took psychology classes and learned about hypnosis. Instantly intrigued, Hector delved into research about the subject. He watched hypnotists whenever he could. He tried, but never managed to hypnotize his doubtful older brother, Don. After struggling with hypnosis, Hector gave up and began a career in accounting. Before Calamity, he was an accountant at a large company based in Spokane. He was quite wealthy, but greedy and shared nothing with his family. He focused on work and none of his relationships lasted until one. Most gave up on him because of his greed and arrogance, but at 37, he met Denise. She was eight years younger and was selfish herself. She was attracted only to Hector's money. While Hector subconsciously realized this, he never mentioned it or ended the relationship. He wanted love and she wanted money. A year later, they married and moved to Fairfield. He commuted to Spokane for work, but cut almost all ties with his family there. Denise became more greedy and leeched much of Hector's earnings for shopping and various purchases. He put up with it and spent what was left of his money on extravagance as well. At 55, he had enough money and enough investments to retire early. The couple used that time to travel the country and spend more on luxury items. When Calamity rose, Hector built an underground bunker to live in. Approximately four years later, he woke up with powers. The first thing he did was to command his wife to leave the bunker. Watching from a camera he had planted on her, he commanded her to draw the attention of Myst, a powerful Epic in town, using a small earbud. She drew Myst's attention and, following Hypno's command, she attacked the Epic. Obviously outgunned, she was killed almost instantly. Hypno reveled in the powers he had gained, the powers he had coveted as a child. From then on, he used his powers to randomly cause humans to commit suicide. Hypno moved out of Fairfield, heading south to Oregon to find a more stable town to work in. Upon hearing the rumors of a paradise in Corvallis, he headed there immediately. Rainmaker brought him in and gave him a modest sized house and twenty slaves. The arrangement suited Hypno, as he got to lounge about and enjoy the luxuries he had always had, courtesy of Cornucopia, and he had his own retinue of slaves to command about. When called upon, Hypno is used to dispel rebellions by causing repeat offenders to commit suicide, calming the remnants of the rebellion. He also has taken control of dissenters and used them to cause chaos and confusion among other dissenters and rebels. Occasionally, he is given someone to execute and that is his favorite duty. 1
Fatebreaker he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 If it isn't, I hope he's reincarnated as a crash test dummy. For the Ford Pinto. As an occasional mechanic, I found this comment highly amusing. I've always thought Charizard would make a good couple with Dragonite. And Illuminati: It's sad but true You cannot get rid of the ponies here, illuninati. You can either join them or distract them by posting pictures of other things. Or just do what I do and coexist by pretending pony is a code word for bagel. 2
Comatose he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I'm excited too! What a jerk, never telling Hypno a time and then mad because he's late. Eh, he deserves it. You're expecting Rainmaker to make sense? There's a reason she's not named Sensemaker. What was the effect of Epic status on Hypno's powers again? If I recall correctly, it was decided that epics were just more resistant, but I wanted to be certain.
Kobold King he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 This just in: Brandon Sanderson encourages an RPer to create his own continuity for his Cosmere game, and tells him not to worry about the actual canon of the series. 1

It's nice to know that Brandon won't ban us from reading Cosmere novels for all of Damnation once he gets wind of some of our... less canon conform happenings but personally I'd still like to try and stick to canon when possible. 2

Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Well I guess I'll just have to keep my desire to throw canon to the winds to myself. Depends, what did you have in mind?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 A scene where Backtrack meets Calamity and sobs his eyes out, maybe?
Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 A scene where Backtrack meets Calamity and sobs his eyes out, maybe? Who says that has to be against canon. Just throw in Regalia tied to a chair acting as the in between.
Kobold King he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Depends, what did you have in mind? I just don't want to have to come up with complicated reasons to justify the presence of every Epic in the state, especially not in problematic cities like The Dalles. I want to comfortably shrug off canon where it inconveniences us and only accept it when it adds something neat and helpful to the universe, like the Firefight fear revelations.

Well, we've been doing that anyway and is really more taking liberty with canon than it is outright breaking it. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Well, we've been doing that anyway and is really more taking liberty with canon than it is outright breaking it. Yeah, a scene where Protector Pug and Voidgaze lead the charge to beat Calamity to a pulp would be breaking canon. We've more just bent it. 1

Unless until Calamity reveals that he has a physical body in space, which leads us to revitalize NASA and take a rocket up there.
RandomRevival he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Like I mentioned in the oregoners thread, the events in this RPG are a slightly different alternate version of Brandon's novel. Wait. via Imgflip Meme Maker Edited June 24, 2015 by Random_illuminati 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Unless until Calamity reveals that he has a physical body in space, which leads us to revitalize NASA and take a rocket up there. If we're going that route, we might as well give Obliteration a Holy Hand Grenade to lob at Regalia.
Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 If we're going that route, we might as well give Obliteration a Holy Hand Grenade to lob at Regalia. Before or after converting him to our cause by shipping him.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Before or after converting him to our cause by shipping him. Depends. Who would we ship him with?
Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Depends. Who would we ship him with? Hmm, Voidgaze is already takes, so who does that leave us with? We could take Ray, if we want to give him a reason to roast nighthound imediately.

Edgedancer he/him Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Roasting Nighthound would be a fun first date. Maybe they'd see a movie for the second? I think a dead Nighthound can win you a woman's heart for every kind of date. Let's see what other options could there be? Autumn... also already taken.
