Mailliw73 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah that should be fine, I don't think there's anything Soulcaster needed to do in the brief break for the fights so afternoon brackets can start up now. Sounds good. I'll get that up then. Hey Mailliw, I just thought of a cool way that Hypno can die (if you planning on killing him or like this and stuff) He runs into Iconoclast at some stage (later on in the RP), and orders him to stop. He is forced to obey, and Hypno gloats over capturing him. Then some ghouls show up, and run at him. Hypno calmly orders them to stop, but unable to comprehend his order and their minds clouded with rage, they are unaffected and keep charging. Hypno panics as he realises they aren't affected, and they rip him apart, freeing Iconoclast. Edit: posted the beginnings of a player list I know I won't have gotten everyone but I think I got all the active players, at least. Hmm, that could be cool. I have plans for him for the next few days, but maybe after. Lightsworn Panda was here before too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Kind of a random thing, but after reading Silver's posts in the last Question about how Converter could break out of her restraints, I got kind of curious, and started doing some research into heat capacity. Turns out, there's a literal crap-ton of energy in the human body. (To raise or cool the human body by one degree Celsius, you have to add/remove around 300 kilojoules of energy.) And, it just so happens, steel can't hold much energy before changing states (there's only about 600kj/kg between 0* and it's melting point, in fact). So if Converter removed two degrees of her own body heat she could just melt her restraints. Assuming she recovered the heat quickly, there would be a very minimal overall loss, so she probably wouldn't even experience hypothermia. And of course, if you wanted to just break the restraints instead of melting them, that would be even easier, as it would require a lot less energy to shatter the metal through thermal shock than it would to melt it. [/random science discussion] (I think I'm starting to realize just how overpowered Converter and Frostfire are. ) Wasn't there a restriction about the powers working on living things? But even so the human body doesn't do well with changes to its temperature. Hypothermic symptoms can start to appear with as little as 1 degree of lost heat and it would take a while for that to heat up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Converter, but the bio in the Epics of Oregon thread makes reference to using energy from her own body. That's definitely true, especially in Converter's situation, seeing how she's an a cold environment with no way to easily gather energy. They do have a bit of an advantage over your average person, as they can recoup a sizable chunk of the energy they put out, but using their own body heat would probably end up a last-ditch option regardless. This is more hypothetical than anything; I just figured I'd share it because it kind of freaked me out when I realized exactly how much power they could wield even before you count their energy absorption abilities.

It pretty much prevents energy Epics from using their own energy for anything. That being said, energy Epics (particularly ones which can convert energy types), are still ridiculously powerful because they can remove small amounts of energy from other humans to wreak disastrous results. Plus they can utilize externally acquired energy to fuel their body, removing their need to eat, which is nice. Edit: Gah, I was ninja'd.

There's also the accuracy angle to consider, pulling just enough to not kill you would be pretty insanely difficult, and if you take it slowly the energy dissipates into the air and you'd have to use even more energy.

Oh and Voidus (or anyone that remembers for that matter) could I get a refresher on Neverhtere's looks? Careful there. You're approaching the heretical question of whether or not Funtimes could transform the stick. Here's Neverthere's official description: Appearance: A young woman of 22 years of age, Neverthere commonly wears a t-shirt and skirt with no shoes, preferring bright colours such as pink (Somewhat less extreme than Funtimes) she continues to wear glasses even after becoming an Epic due to her former shortsightedness, her illusion is always an exact copy and so wears the same clothes as she does. I'm pretty sure her hair was described as curly and black, and she's currently wearing a bright pink t-shirt and a black miniskirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In her early twenties with black curly hair and a roundish face, she's currently barefoot in a pink tshirt and black skirt and wearing a pen on one ear. EDIT: Ninja'd by Kobold.
