If you were an Epic?

[TheSpartanDuck he/him]

I can actually do this! I have had near death experiences!

Name: Ceaser's Reign

Primary Power: Manipulation Of ANY Matter.

Secondary Power: Any Object Not Traveling At A Terminal Velocity Over 2,679 MPH Will Harmlessly Bounce Off Of Me.

Weakness: Wooden Stake. (Precisely In The Groove Of My Upper Chest)

Costume: Heavy Black Chestplate And Black Shoulder Armor. Grey Under Shirt With Long Hood. Chainmail Arm Gaurd. Black Gloves, Gold Lining On Bones Of The Hand, Green On The Joints. Red Cape Leg Length. Grey, Scaled Pants With Gold Bone Lining. Converse Red Hightops. (Cause every Epic has quirks.)

I have almost been killed by a stake to the chest, simultaneously being choked by a rope around my neck because I fell out of my home made hunting stand in a tree. I wiggled out of the rope and fell, where my back was slightly impaled by a wooden stake.

*raises hand* How do you get slightly impaled?

[TheSpartanDuck he/him]

Well, I wasn't fully impaled with the thing THROUGH my chest, but it destroyed flesh and skin, leaving scarring

[Kestrel she/her]

I don't even know what my powers would be (I'm pretty useless in all honesty) but probably shifting of some sort. My weakness would probably be embarrassment or failure.

[Rivira she/her]

Okay we get these what superpower questions all the time so let's go a bit more Steelheart on this.

 

1. What would your power/secondary power be?

2. What is your weakness?

3. What is your cheesy name?

4. In what way does your inevitable evil manifest itself (why do ordinary people really hate you?)

 

A description of your costume would be fun as well.

Well, I made up an Epic character with my friends, but I'll think of something better later...

1. Plants and stuff. It can be really destructive...

2. Coal.

3. You mean Epic name? Aspenquake.

4. Um, well, I'm really destructive. Yeah.

Sorry. Not much detail. 

[Allomancy she/her]

1. My power... it would have to be turning random objects to gems or precious medals.

2. My weakness would either be crabs or stone angels.

3. Hmmm ... My cheesy name would have to be Midas jr.

4. I really don't know.

I would have a fancy outfit with lots of gems.

Considering your powers and outfit... might I suggest the alternative name of Mr. Fabulous?

I think Captain Fabulous would be more fitting.

Tedcomms this would be a really cool epic but killing you is really easy all that needs to happen is for a group of people to capture and not kill you from there we strap you into a room infront of a Mirror cut off your eyelids wait two hours then kill you. Cool epic major plot hole.

That or just launch mirrors at you repeatedly until you accidentally die from one.

[Blackhoof]

Your prime invincibility is a bit if a paradox- if they die an hour before trying to kill you, then they never can try, and thus there is no point an hour before then for your power to kill them.

also, you can't pick a weakness and then say it can't affect you logically, if your PI can tell the future and trace kill attempts back an hour, it can also tell when a kill attempt would be made that triggers your weakness. Therefore, the power is inactive for that attempt, meaning that they would not die an hour before trying to kill you. Otherwise how is your weakness even triggered? You lose your powers when looking at a mirror, but anyone who would try to kill you in that time died an hour ago anyway?

plus what amull said.

[Chesire]

if i was an epic i would be called Chesire and have the powers of chesire cat aka evaporation teleportation shapeshifting and yeah that is it

But... I'm a girl... Edited September 4, 2015 by Allomancy

[Seana she/her]

Primary powers would be hyper-realistic hallucinations in everyone around me and hightened physical abilities.

Secondary would be slight danger sense, but my aura would make this only aplicable for snipers.

My weakness: driving a car with other people on the road. Which as my power is a constant aura, is highly dangerous.

My weird Epic name... Inkspell.

Outfit... Hm. Black v neck t-shirt, black jeans, gold neckalace and bracelets, and I'm barefoot. My long hair is braided down my back neatly.

Things that activate my Evil Epic Destroyer Mode, stupid people being stupid in my line of vision. I would be very vicious.

(Ps, I'm a girl, just in case you didn't figure that out...)

[Allomancy she/her]

It's okay. A few posts ago I was mistaken for a guy too. Apparently I'm just too boyish.

[Dtritus0 he/him]

My main powers would be time and space manipulation. I could teleport anyone I am touching to anywhere I want, including outer space. I would also have the ability to teleport myself anywhere and warp space around a nearby object or myself. I can only do one object at a time and for only about 48 hours straight at one time, but when I warp the space around the object, light can't reach it so it will turn invisible. As for my time manipulation ability, it would be weaker, I would only be able to slow down or speed up time slightly for myself, as to make myself look like I have heightend reflexes and speed/agility.

My second ability would be slow regeneration and reincarnation. I can only be killed if there is nothing left of me, otherwise I will regenerate. I can also reincarnate if I am killed and turned to ash or dust or some other thing simaller.

If I were an epic I wouldn't really have a weakness, but I would have an exploit. Ash drifts of me very slightly but the more I use my powers the thicker the cloud of ash drifting off of me will become, you would still be able to see it even if I warped space around myself. The ash like particles will stay in the air floating about for an hour I leave, leaving a trail of where I am, although if I do not use my powers at all I will have no particles drifting off of me.

My epic name would be void wielder. Because I can control the void(space).

I would look like a fairly normal person except when the particles drift off of me. I would wear a black hoodie with a optional black face cover ( a black slightly see through screen in front of my face( I wouldn't wear it often)) black gloves and cargo pants, along with boots.

I don't really have a 'brand of evil', but I like to hunt down and assassinate any epic within my general area. Perferable by touching then and teleporting them into the void where they will either suffocate or be stuck forever. If he encounters an epic he cannot get close to he will do whatever it takes to find the epics weakness. Void wielded also keeps a tally of how many epics he has killed or trapped in space on the inside oh his hoodie.

[Allomancy she/her]

Soon, you have a TARDIS around you. not necessarily THE Tardis, just a Time And Relative Dimension In Space.

(Or is, instead of in)

[Blue Skies]

Gravity Manipulation. Like Kat from Gravity rush, be able to walk on walls and stagnate a persons gravitational pull, like tethering them to the ground. Be able to push and pull people and create pockets of gravity that pull people in like a mini black hole.

 

Secondary ability: General Strength and resilience, being able to survive a fall from a great height. 

 

Name would be Inversion.

 

And weakness....probably a fear of tight spaces. I don't have claustrophobia but I think it would make an interesting parallel between having control over something as obscure as gravity.

 

Reasons for becoming a class A douche: Bullying. Victimisation. Real life things that have happened where I haven't had the strength to fight back either physically or verbally even when I've wanted to. That stuff ticks me off so I'd say if I became an epic those sorts of people would get done in. Of course with Calamity being what it is, it would slowly corrupt the moral into something evil.

[TySun he/him]

My power would be "to be every epics weakness".  I could hurt/kill any epic and I'd inherit their powers if I killed them.  I'd potentially be the most powerful epic. And I can't inherit their weakness.

 

My weakness would be that if I'm humiliated, I lose all my powers until the next sunset.

 

I generally wouldn’t care about ruling openly. I would be an assassin who sometimes seeks out his victims and sometimes likes to draw them to him.  My favourite strategy would be to eliminate all epics in an area and make it seem like an ordinary person did it.  Epics would soon arrive to put that person in his place and I could kill them for their powers.  I wouldn't let it go on too long in case someone became suspicious.  After amusing myself for a while, I'd move on and let the other epics put those ordinary people in their place.

 

I wouldn't bother giving myself a name and since I would hide my true power and intensions, people would call me by many names, depending which of my powers I chose to reveal at any given time.  I would usually disguise myself so that nobody found out that this epic is the same one as the one they saw using different powers last week in another city.  My costume that I'd rarely wear except when I'm alone with someone I intended to kill would be black boots with a black shirt and black pants and a black sword at my hip and a black bow and quiver full of black arrows on my back.  The only thing not black on me would be my brown hair and lightly bronzed skin.

 

PS: if I give myself a name, it might be SPIDER.  I'm not fond of spiders but I think it fits well.

[Oudeis he/him]

Primary power. Prime defensive.

Anyone who attempts to kill me will have the life in their body instantly cease. This will happen when they get within an hour of the attempt. It's un defendable unless you have a prime regeneration ability. Steel heart and prof could resist it, but when they got to within the hour of killing me their body would die, then instantly revive, then die, instantly revive, forcing them into a state of limbo and the inability to do anything until their attempt at my life stopped.

Second ability.

That which takes like can also give. Can turn any matter into living matter or tissue. Cannot create complex organs. But can turn a building into a giant of living wood.

Offence comes through being able to turn large chucks of atmosphere into wood or living matter, and having it fall onto people. Must use gravity as I cannot manipulate force.

Weakness is mirrors. Cannot look into one. Years of being vaine created a fear of being ugly.

You can't simply hold a mirror in front of my face and shoot me. Get withing an hour of your assistant ion attempt, and you will die.

As killing people is difficult, and making large pieces of living wood fall from the sky is silly, I carry a gun. Kill who get in my way. Like solitude. Don't want to control a city, just want to live in one. Likes good looking women.

They call me Lifestopper.

How do you kill me?

 

First, I concur with the people above. You cannot say, this is my weakness, oh but I'm immune to my own weakness. If it's your weakness, it's your weakness.

 

Suicide.

 

I knock you out. Break your legs. Break most of your fingers. Leave you in a cell underground, every wall a mirror, with fresh water and rations for a year. Possibly infect you with something disfiguring and painful but not life-threatening... something in the 'rash' category. Leave you a loaded gun, a knife, some well-labeled poison... you get the idea.

 

Now, maybe you persevere. Maybe in the depths of your trauma-induced, isolation-bred insanity you find some plateau of crazy strength, and do everything in your own power to stay alive long enough to run out of water and food, and a year later, one hour before you die, so do I. Or, sometime during that year, you have one single solitary moment of weakness, born of pure agony, executed in feverish delirium, and you just want the pain to go away for just the barest moment... and you save my life by taking your own.

When the Epic apocalypse starts, I hope I'm on your side.

1. Primary Power: Influence

People want to believe what I say, and will be convinced of my utter truth and rightness, while they can hear my voice. There is no way to avoid this, even for Epics. Once they are under my spell, it will be virtually impossible for them to resist the compulsion to do what I say. Even after they leave the sound of my voice, they will have strong positive emotional connections to me, and will still find it hard to resist believing me.

Secondary: Intelligence

This one speaks for itself.

Epic Name: Anthro

Evil: Ambition

Anthro will kill or destroy anything to climb his way to the top. He does not like to personally kill, though. He would nuch rather destroy someone's reputation or hire a killer. He sees rule as his natural state.

Weakness: If someone absolutely cannot hear his voice, they will not be affected. Once they do, whether it be on tv or in person, they are enthraleed, and even printed words will sway them.

Real Weakness: Any door fastener of the hook and ring variety will completely negate Anthro's powers, including intelligence.

1. What would your power/secondary power be? Shadow/darkness manipulation and the usual extras (intangibility, teleportation, flight, etc) and Electricity manipulation/projection. Tiny tertiary power of being able to swap gender

 

2. What is your weakness? Being called out for breaking social/gender norms/stereotypes

 

3. What is your cheesy name? Tempest 

 

4. In what way does your inevitable evil manifest itself (why do ordinary people really hate you?) (S)he will come down like a hammer on anyone policing gender stereotypes, social norms of things like appearance, trying to impose religious laws on the unwanting, any form of sexual assault or breach of consent, basically any attempt to go "No, THIS is how you're suppose to look/act/think" to another person.
Sounds kinda noble, right? But what about that tiny shred of doubt at the back of your mind of if you've ever inadvertently restricted someone's freedom of expression, or laughed at someone because of how they choose to dress, or warned someone not to do something? Better sidle away just in case...

[Yata he/him]

Epic name: Promethium (I am fashinated by this mythological bein)

Primary power: absorption and emission of Elettromagnetic Radiation (charging within myself)

Secondary Power: Force field (powered by my own charge)

                              Perfect Memory (by a semi-unknown mith about him)

 

Weakness: Complete Darkness (my own light radiation don't prevent the power loss, I lost also all the Information gathered through my perfect memory but I recover them when my powers returns).

 

Evil manifest: My emotivity shut down and I became a pure logic guy. And i don't care about anything (also my own life of safety) in front of my current purpose.

 

In the end I will probably be one of the Epic with shortest lifespan

[Speedy Reckoning]

Name:

Unending

Primary Power:

If I look at someone in the eye (even for a split second) directly (looking through glasses or contacts counts, but not through tinted lenses or masks or mirrors), I gain all of their memories, mental skills (non-Epic, I can't take Metronome's powers), and knowledge instantly. So I can look at a person with photographic memory and get that skill. I can look at a person with amazing mental math powers and gain that skill. I have all your memories, even the ones you've forgotten. I can't gain their personalities, and they still retain their skills. Looking myself in the eye has no effect. I experience all of their memories upon looking them in the eye, so time pauses at the instant I see someone's eyes until I have finished experiencing their memories. I can't stop time at will, but I can look someone in the eye and think up a solution to my own problems while their lifespan flies by. Once I look someone in the eye, I CANNOT gain any new knowledge from them by looking at them again. This power works on Epics and Vanillas.

Secondary Power: I cannot feel pain unless in a memory, though I can feel emotions. Every time I absorb someone's memories and mental skills, I also gain one extra life. Having looked thousands of people in the eye, I have thousands of lives. After being killed, my corpse disintegrates and I resurrect instantly on the spot I was killed at. I cannot be killed by the same thing twice. So if I die by falling, I just pick myself up the next time I fall off a building. Once I run out of lives, I die permanently. I have a personal innate knowledge of how many lives I have left.

Weaknesses:

•Age. I resurrect every time at the age I became an epic. I will not resurrect from death by old age, though all epics have this limitation (WoB). This is a natural consequence of my powers.

•Trauma. I cannot feel pain, but if I see a memory that is truly disgusting/mind-boggling/terrifying, I lose all memories and skills from that person and cannot try again to reabsorb it. I also cannot gain a life from them. So if someone was tortured painfully for a year straight, they are immune to me. This is a natural consequence of my powers.

•Actual weakness: All my immunities are nullified on a person I care for. I can't absorb knowledge from them (they don't have to reciprocate my love), can't gain a life from them, and can't resurrect when killed by them.

Evilness:

My ridiculously large amount of knowledge lets me launch devastating psychological attacks, outwit most opponents, and discover Epic weaknesses. I rule a city of intellectuals, who invent and dominate.
