Kobold King he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Well... I suppose you could always start a short, more serious WHOOC...
Edgedancer he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I'm so sorry for you. Maybe you could guest star as an MEE member?
Voidus Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 If you don't mind a character who will almost certainly die very soon after being introduced after not really influencing the plot in any way you can always adopt an MEE Epic.
Comatose he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 It's more tempting than I would like to admit, but I think I have enough characters on the go at the moment. Writing a one-off character could be interesting though, so keep me posted if anyone needs someone to kill In other news, I think my resurrection copy-cat epic is coming together. I'll try to get a power profile together soon . I'm also thinking of having Rainmaker scout out an Epic who can help her deal with Insight (not sure if I've mentioned this before). Hypno will already be an asset, but she could definitely use more help. Any suggestions for epics Rainmaker might have heard of, or Jumpdrive might be aware of, who Rainmaker could recruit?

Soulcaster comes to mind but he's unlikely to actually help and I doubt Rainmaker would be willing to let him even if he did want to help. A precog would probably be useful and it could be a chance for Aphasia to make an incredibly confusing appearance: Aphasia: Primary Power: Long term precognition, can see into the distant future and determine what lead to that future, however while he is seeing the future he suffers from verbal aphasia, causing his language skills to be mixed up. He also suffers from complete memory loss afterwards and so cannot recall what he predicted. As such his predictions are often incredibly difficult to decipher. (He predicted the eventual death of Steelheart, though he never realizes it. His exact prediction was: "The thief-core spilled by a toy, mire-brawl gives back. "(Eventually translated as "Steelheart killed by a boy, Firefight returns."))

I'm sure we'll have to kill someone eventually. Good forces people around her to sing, right?
Comatose he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Another query: I'm trying to decide how Insight's powers interact with sleep. My original idea was that Insight had to become tangible during the day to eat and sleep (his power is active, so he would be unable to stay intangible while sleeping). The issue is what happens to other people who Insight has made intangible. Option 1: All people/things that Insight has made intangible return to normal while Insight is sleeping. The key is whether or not Insight is sleeping/conscious/able to use his powers. Whether or not the person is awake or conscious does not matter. This option makes more sense with Insight's ability to affect inanimate objects. Option 2: When Insight sleeps, only he become tangible, while other people things who he has changed remain intangible. This option could include a stipulation that others become tangible if they fall asleep or lose consciousness. This solves the issue of having people floating around while sleeping (which isn't much of an issue) but creates issues with how Insight's powers work, and also means that Insight cannot affect sleeping people with his powers. Personally, now that I've written them out, I think that Option 1 makes more sense, but what do you guys think?
Comatose he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I'm sure we'll have to kill someone eventually. Good forces people around her to sing, right? It is more of a subtle compulsion than "forcing". And this only happens when she herself is singing. Epics would be able to resist the urge to sing, but it would take a lot of effort and self awareness. She can only control animals with impunity though, so any sentient beings have a chance to assert some free will. Usually this means they can resist her orders, but may still end up singing anyways. Regardless, GOOD isn't singing right now, so Kenshin should be fine. Also, Voidus, I'll keep Aphasia in mind. Where is he now?
Voidus Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Sitting in a bar telling someone that the spoon will eat when the grandfather skips merrily. He's not been assigned anywhere so wherever's convenient.

He's not been assigned anywhere so wherever's convenient. Spoon: A vessel for holding things, which could mean anything from food to power. Eat: According to Pattern, something that requires terrible destruction. Grandfather: Male patriarch, sort of like a godfather of a mob. Skip: Can mean "to leave town." Merrily: With gusto. The President holds a lot of power. President Kennedy was destroyed in the assassination. THE MAFIA WAS BEHIND THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION! 3

Voidus Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Does he know that the Painted Desert will host Misery and transform the butterflies? I am now compelled to create Epics called Painted Desert and Misery. Why I don't already have an Epic call Misery is a mystery but oh well, more Epics. Edited September 22, 2015 by Voidus 1

Oh, really? Well tell me next time you want to give an MEE character a perspective.
Mestiv he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Oh great Metronome, what hour should the clocks in Corvallis show? I miss my characters which I have too carelessly trapped in the future!
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 Apparently, for the annual Lays potato chip contest, someone suggested Couch. Why do I get the feeling that Couch is Deathwish's favorite flavor of chip.

Edgedancer he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Watermelon and Haggis was another flavor, which sounds like something Arsenal would enjoy. I wonder if there's a "pure evil" taste.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 I wonder if there's a "pure evil" taste. Well, there's also "Candid Salmon Cream Cheese" and "Baked Kale," so yeah, pretty close.
