Question 17

[Stormgate he/him]

So, here's another Epic. Named Freezerburn, she can get materials so cold they burst into flames. It doesn't make sense, according to the laws of physics, but since we're talking Epics...

[mail-mi he/him]

I was hoping you'd like that one, I thought the concept was interesting.

Are we cool with changing it to the blood clone dude?

I'm cool with it.

[Blackhoof]

Since he isn't duplicating or cloning himself effortlessly like Mitosis does, I am cool with blood clone guy.

[Voidus]

So Scribbler's about to wake up for the day to leave for the medical clinic, Kobold would Arsenal be likely to send her at all or should I just have her hear about it and go there of her own accord?

[Blaze1616 he/him]

Warlord: Can create people by cutting himself. When the minion dies, the cut heals itself. The larger the cut, the more powerful the individual he creates. Small cuts create regular people, large gashes create enhanced individuals who are stronger and faster. Can also create an Avatar, a super enhanced individual that could almost be an Epic, but requires a huge wound

Limited to 50 regular people, 20 enhanced, and 1 Avatar

 

Out of curiosity, are the listed limits cumulative or separate? Can he have 1 Avatar and 20 enhanced and 50 regulars, or should all those "and"s be "or"s?

Last night, I dreamed Peter Ahlstrom showed up on the Question to announce the arrival of none other than Brandon Sanderson. "I introduced him to your game," Ahlstrom said. 

 

Brandon said that he "scrolled through a few times," which we all took to mean he read a page or two. He was taken aback by the insanity, but impressed by the quality, and mentioned a character by name as his favorite. 

 

I don't remember which character it was. 

 

But it wasn't one of mine. 

 

Come to think of it, I don't think that character was part of our game at all.

I choose to believe that means it's one of the 10,000 Epics I haven't introduced to the game yet then

"What Happened in Oregon? Ooh, it gets some hate but I'm actually a big fan. Edward is my favorite."

He can mix and match some, but if he makes one of one kind  it lessens the amount he can make of another.

I had it mapped out like this: 2 regulars equal one enhanced, 10 enhanced equal one Avatar. His limit for each group still stands, on if he made all 20 enhanced, he'd only be able to make 10 regulars. If he made 1 Avatar he'd only be able to make 10 enhanced or 30 regulars.

Turns out Edward is an epic whose only powers are maintaining a crazy writing schedule and hair that is always perfectly combed.

Lucentia thought she would be Brandon's favourite character but

So Scribbler's about to wake up for the day to leave for the medical clinic, Kobold would Arsenal be likely to send her at all or should I just have her hear about it and go there of her own accord?

In case you missed it.

[Kobold King he/him]

In case you missed it.

 

 

What exactly would she be doing there? Has there been an alarm tripped, or would she be going there with the intent to help restock like usual?

[Voidus]

I think the idea was that Baxter would call it in once Impact has left.

[Kobold King he/him]

I don't think Scribbler's really a frontline kind of Epic, but it'd make sense for her to stick around the clinic as a bodyguard. Arsenal would be ticked off about her interrupting his business to ask for an assignment right now, but he'd also be moderately ticked off if she heard about the clinic attack and assigned herself as Game's bodyguard. There's no winning against Arsenal's attitude, so feel free to write the situation however you see fit.

 

(It doesn't have to be Arsenal who gives her the order, by the way. If she needs to be assigned there by a superior officer but doesn't want to deal with Arsenal, there are plenty of NPC officers with the authority to send her there.)

[Patar he/him]

Hey guys, sorry to bring back epics we discussed awhile ago, but I've made some changes to my epics (Peacegiver and Night Terror). Should I just list their full bios with the changes, or just list what the changes are?

[Edgedancer he/him]

About hom much stronger people are we talking here anyway, do they look like normal people and how much control/information feedback does he have over them?

Probably best to just post the profiles again.

[Patar he/him]

Peacegiver:

Epic Powers: Can emit an aura of peace around him, which instantly puts people at ease. When engaging in conversation with people, they open up and find him incredibly easy to talk to. When people look at him, he puts them at ease. When people speak of him (without him being present) people become calm. For vanillas this is practically mind control, but while interacting with epics he operates more like a skilled soother/rioter. His Prime Invincibility is that when someone is trying to kill him, he can use mind control to make someone view him as perfect, and they can't bring themselves to kill him. That is the only thing he can do when mind controlling them. 

 

Night Terror:

Epic Powers: His power operates similar to the way Peacegiver's does, except he can emit auras of fear. He can cause illusions of things people fear (spiders, roaches, etc.). If he knows an epics weakness, he can fill that epic's mind with that fear. He CAN NOT inherently know what weakness an epic has. Similar to Peacegiver, when people speak of him or view him, they become scared. I've changed his Prime Invincibility to resurrection. When he resurrects, he briefly becomes more powerful, becoming a "living nightmare" of sorts.

So just for clarification, does the Peacegiver PI work automatically and does it work on other Epics?

Do you want to want a post with Impact actually leaving and Baxter sending the alarm or just skip that and get to the meaty part?

Probably too short to do a post for it so I was just planning on skipping it unless you had anything extra you wanted to happen?

Nope, that's perfectly alright with me.

[Fatebreaker he/him]

About how much stronger people are we talking here anyway, do they look like normal people and how much control/information feedback does he have over them?

 

All of the look like normal people. The appearance is random.

 

Regulars are just normal humans in good shape, equivalent to a member of the armed forces. 

 

Enhanced are equivalent to professional all around athletes. They're fast, strong, agile with fast reflexes, but nothing outside the bounds of a normal human capability. 

 

Avatars have moderate super strength, not enough to throw a car, but greater than normal human capability. They have enhanced durability and reflexes, and surprisingly well developed social skills.

And they're fast. Frighteningly fast.

 

Warlord (or I might just keep him as Platoon)  can assume direct control of them at will, but they mostly remain completely autonomous.

When they are killed or reabsorbed he gains any knowledge they acquired. They also have any skills Platoon has, so if he learns judo, they'll all learn judo.

[Voidus]

Is Arsenal's weakness still the crucifix, or is it actually avocados?

It was changed I believe, though I'm not sure if what it was changed to is public knowledge or not so I'll leave that for Kobold to answer.

[Patar he/him]

So just for clarification, does the Peacegiver PI work automatically and does it work on other Epics?

 

I had it working automatically, and working on other epics. I do want to state again that it is NOT full mind control, just mind control to not kill him.

[Voidus]

On an unrelated note, I may have discovered an Epic that matches Deathwish for Slontzeyness.   

InternetGuy

Primary Power: 'MakeMeASammich', can cause people to become overwhelmingly compelled to make him a sandwich. Frequently uses this power on women while degrading them.

Passive: This power is instantly applied to anyone who attempts to do harm to him, they are compelled to make and present to him a sandwich instead.


On the plus side, his existence means that everyone has real incentive not to end up on the Calamitas naughty list.
