Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 There's this thing going around Facebook called dog shaming, where people write the funny but embarrassing things their dogs did down and have their dogs sit next to it so they can post the picture. I'd do that, except with verses from Revelation instead. Now that I want to see. Are you still struggling to pick between the names Obliteration and Slartibartfast?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Now that I want to see. Are you still struggling to pick between the names Obliteration and Slartibartfast? Yes, and I'm not even sure what I'd do if I got a girl pug. I was thinking of Lagertha, the name of a Viking warrior woman from a show I watch, but I'd like to have options. 1

I was thinking of Lagertha, the name of a Viking warrior woman from a show I watch, but I'd like to have options. The deciding factor in the name "Lagertha," to me, would be whether or not you have access to a tiny horned helmet she could fit in. 2

That would depend on Amazon and how much my gift card could buy me. For a Brandon name, I was considering Sylphrena. Thoughts? 1

The Amazons were warrior women. Surely the website would honor its heritage by donating to this worthy cause. I like that name. Syl for short, I presume? 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 What about good old Fantomah? I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't even thought of that, but that is a perfect name for a girl pug. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't even thought of that, but that is a perfect name for a girl pug. Fantomah is an awesome name. Also, I started this pony comic earlier before Rubix showed up. After much deliberation I decided to go ahead and post it, on the grounds that if an admin sees us in our weirdness, we might as well make it as weird as we can. 4

Spoilerish for the comic: "Therapy basement" is a combination of words that should not exist in English or any other language. 2

As a doctor myself I can verify that those coats do not belong to an actual doctor. It's not a scam if she's honest abou it. ...not that it makes her any less creepy. 2

It's not a scam if she's honest abou it. ...not that it makes her any less creepy. Whoah. You're a doctor? Somehow I doubt Shiny would call it a scam. She'd probably call it "romantic deception." Or a romantic surprise. For those looking for closure to the comic: rest assured that Sam did not enter the mustached Shiny's "therapy basement." Funtimes eventually found and followed the line of chocolates, but she had the sense to port out the moment she saw the interior of said basement and its profound lack of professionalism. 1

Well duh it's in wacky Epicology afterall. I got it like an hour ago. Or Roleplay. By the way, how did she get that mustach without it looking 100% fake? 1

By the way, how did she get that mustach without it looking 100% fake? Derp. I knew I was forgetting something. ...I'm not gonna respond to that. Clearly there exists an Epic in Oregon who can bestow natural-looking mustaches on anyone, women included. We must endeavor to introduce him as soon as possible.

We must find Mustachio! 2
Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 We must find Mustachio! Indeed... but he may have to stay a backstory character. He's almost at Metronome-levels of overpoweredness. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 The sane option, I see. We must find Mustachio! Why? So he can be crowned emperor of Portland? Such a character might be too powerful to face anyone but Metronome. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Why? So he can be crowned emperor of Portland? Such a character might be too powerful to face anyone but Metronome. Even so, just hypothetically... how would Funtimes style her mustache?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Even so, just hypothetically... how would Funtimes style her mustache? Curled at the edges, like a villain in a spaghetti Western, with glitter. And possibly ribbons. 1
Blackhoof Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) On the subject of Eugene, I have a proposal. How about we say, no High Epics. None. I think there are far too many in Oregon already High Epics would also dominate this sort of warfare unless there are multiple, and then we sort if get into being a Portland clone that exaggerates our already excessive amount of High Epics. I think the lack of invincibles would improve the gang wars tremendously- we could have gangs of Epics backed up by vanilla mobsters, and the Epics could have all sorts of cool and deadly powers, but we would need to role play them in a different and more cautious manner than we normally might. I think a setting without Highs would be interesting and unique in this RP. I'm back in town! Edited July 27, 2015 by Blackhoof
Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Lightwards' mental decay after resurrection seems to be different than that of his zombies. How does it function, and how was he different before his various resurrections? Was he significantly more intelligent or mentally stable? What did he hope to achieve during his attempted takeover of Sacramento? Were his goals of establishing an Empire of Light always the same? He seems to be aware that the numbers of his zombies are limited ; as such, is his proclamation of being "victor over death" merely an act? Sorry for the lack of cogency in my questioning. It all sort of came to me. The mental decay is actually close to identical in both his Warriors and himself. When a Warrior dies, what remains of its own mind is further degraded and it becomes more in tune with Lightwards' mind and mood. Lightwards is the same way. When he resurrects, the more rational part of his mind decays and he becomes more impulsive, more easily swayed by his subconscious and emotions. He loses a lot of self-control each time; essentially he comes closer to becoming a slave to his own impulses, just like his Warriors are slaves to his will. He planned on taking over Sacramento and using it as a lair for studying his own power and how to increase his zombie limit. He was somewhat deluded then, and was already using the term "Empire of Light," but he was somewhat more collected and less likely to let his emotions rule him. Finally, he is well-aware that he's in no condition to make himself "victor over death," though he doesn't often dwell on it. He believes that someday he will manage to overcome that limit, or at least raise it dramatically. Between you and me, he's not 100% wrong. Thanks for all the questions!
Kobold King he/him Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks for answering. I'm fascinated by Lightwards, both as a character and as an Epic. So, one final question (I think). Is the vitiation of his rational mind simply a decreasing loss of control over impulses and emotions, or a general degradation of mental functions requiring logical thought? I've come up with an idea for a minor Epic, Peristalstis, who has the ability to, upon touch, cause an object or person to indefinitely move at a crawling pace in any direction of his choice. I think that, despite its limitations, this power could have interesting applications. He definitely needs fleshing out, though. Of course, Oregon is already crowded with Epics, and it would make far more sense to create a normal human character. Still, what do you Oregoners think of that Epic power? I'm no psychologist, but so far I've characterized his mental decay as degrading his self-control and inflaming his bipolar and paranoid tendencies. Enough resurrections would eventually cause him to be ruled entirely by illogical impulses, switching back and forth between emotions at random and seeing people and objects around him as threats he needs to destroy imminently. I'm glad you find him so fascinating. That means a lot to me. That sounds like a cool Epic, too! I think there's plenty of room in Salem or Corvallis for an Epic like him, but I'm not involved in those and thus can't be sure. Question about his powers--could the movement of his victims be impeded by barriers or obstacles, or slowed or accelerated in any way?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Poor Brandon. I don't know how well guarded it is, but if he managed to make it to Autumn's apartment, she'd take him in.
