Bladestorm Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Alright i had this written for a much-revised version of the first epic i put in if you were an epic. Bladestorm: Primary ability: Air manipulation and creation. He can fly, run faster, or lift more by reinforcing himself with wind, and use what seems like telekinesis due to wind moving objects. He can create seemingly solid objects out of air, although the maximum volume of this is only about 1 cubic metre. With this, he can create weaponry or throw orbs of solid air at exceedingly fast speeds. He has a range of about 100 meters on this ability, but needs line of sight on the target or knowledge of the targets whereabouts to make it work. Secondary Ability: Super reflexes and wind-enhanced speed tied to danger sense. This can be activated by both unknown imminent danger, such as a bullet from a sniper, or adrenalin, such as caused in a bar fight. However, threat of death greatly strengthens the strength of this ability, so while he can dodge bullets if necessary, he can't punch someone with that sort of speed. Tertiary: Ricochet. Any item traveling over 50 km/ph bounced off of his skin with no harmful effects to him, allowing him to take bullets with less damage than knives or fists. Also, this ability is useful for friction problems involved with dodging said bullets. It can also absorb energy, such as heat attacks. Final Ability: Energy Orbs. He can throw an orb of blue energy up to 30 meters, at around 40 km/ph. While damaging, this ability is rarely fatal and more for show, as it gives off a great light show and he can control its movement with his mind. Their size ranges from marble to basketball, and their brightness ranges from a low candle to a floodlight. This is a relatively weak combat ability, being slow enough to dodge and not dealing crippling injuries. Also I was considering making him a gifter any thoughts? Power Example: Bladestorm crouched, hidden, trying to be quiet as Shotgun crisscrosses the warehouse, methodically checking for him. He had come across this small town on his way to the fractured states, and thought it would be easy pickings with just enough challenge to be enjoyable. But shotgun, last of the rival epics, was turning out to be a bit too challenging. He strutted through the room, secure in his impenetrable skin. The few lights that weren't blown out cast a faint light over the room, but not enough that a small energy orb could go unnoticed. The various crates around him had long since been scavenged, but at least the dusty shells remained for cover. In fact, the entire room was covered in dust; it was lucky that Shotgun hadn't thought to look for footprints. At first, it had been easy. He had strolled into the centre of town, and tossed around a few market stalls. He had looked suitably impressive in his opinion, dark blue super suit on and orbs trailing from his hands. The first epic who took a shot at him, one with minor flame ability a, had soon found the oxygen sucked from the air around his flames, putting them out. Killing a few more had been easy, with very few of the others ever landing a hit due to his reflexes. Shotgun, however, seemed designed to face Bladestorm. He had two abilities; impenetrable skin, and the ability to fire a swarm of red energy particles from his hands.Their area was too wide and a hair too fast for him to dodge easily, stopping his main defense, and they moved just too slow for him to deflect. They had fought for almost a day now, Blade barely dodging but always one step ahead, and Shotgun doggedly chasing. This had to end. He created two orbs of light, and jumped out of hiding while throwing them at shotgun, When they were near him, he increased their brightness all the way, blinding Shotgun. As shotgun started firing swathes of energy everywhere, Blade created a rope of solid air, and while Shotgun was blinded jumped almost thirty meters to land behind him. He gasped as a few pieces of energy hit his leg, and stumbled,He grabbed the other epics hands and commanded the rope to tie itself around the Epic, stopping him from firing. By now the blindness caused by the light had worn off, and the now-bound epic turned to Blade and began kicking him. Dodging easily, Blade moved in and punched his solar plexus twice, then twirled and backhanded his throat. All before the other epic had completed the kick. The other epic doubled over, and Blade quickly grabbed his neck and twisted. The other epic died instantly; Blade had never enjoyed drawn out deaths or pointless murder, thinking they took time away from contests, which were the real reason for life. After a day of fighting, he headed out of the building and flew back to town. He lit the main square with a few energy orbs, and floated down to find his next contender. So I don't really know what RP I should think about for this guy. I've read Salem, which I like, and the wastelands, which I think sound cool, although I'd probably make some more epics or vanillas to join. I've also read Astoria, but I'm not sure if he's quite strong enough for that. I know he's got what could be considered 3 PIs, (air armour, danger reflex, and ricochet) but none of them are the best for stopping area-of-effect attacks, so explosions are tough for him unless he makes an air shield. Anyways, I'm open to any suggestions, both on his character and where he belongs.
Voidus Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Multiple PIs are generally a no-no, Prof is the only known Epic with multiple and he only had two.Other than that the wind-speed thing presents some problems because the wind moving him that fast is going to cause just as much damage as a bullet.
Citadel16 he/him Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 the wind armor wouldn't really be considered a PI any more than blocking bullets with tensor fire would be, right? that then, leaves two PIs.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Does the wind armor activate automatically? If so, it's a PI. If not, combined with his other PIs, one of which has to go, it's overkill.
Bladestorm Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Multiple PIs are generally a no-no, Prof is the only known Epic with multiple and he only had two. Other than that the wind-speed thing presents some problems because the wind moving him that fast is going to cause just as much damage as a bullet. I put in the ricochet partially to stop damage taken from moving so fast, and I wouldnt be able to move at over 50 km/ph without being about to die from something moving VERY fast.For the wind armour, its not automatic. I would get rid of the ricochet ability if i had to, but that presents the problem of being too easily injured by a simple bullet, as nomatter how fast your reflexes are, they couldnt get you out if th way of a hail of bullets. So having forcefeilds or impenatrable skin is a much stronger PI than his. Edited March 20, 2016 by Bladestorm
Clockwork he/him Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Ok, I'm thinking of putting another Chasmfiend post up soon, and this time, may I add my anti-epic team? For recap: 1st member; Leader, Sniper, Tech Name: Kyordu JarnotAge: 23“Powers” (Skills):Not really “powers” per say, but he is insanely intelligent. More so than his brother. He tends to move from one small town to the next, killing the weakest epics and then wiping the rest of them out.Appearance:White, blue eyes, brown hair, constantly looks like he’s bored and doesn’t care about you or isn’t impressed.Modus Operandi:Logically plans out assassinations of epics, usually for proof or revenge.Currently moving to Corvallis, as he heard his brother is there. Plans to kill him out of Revenge for the rest of their family. Has killed 5 epics, 4 normal and 1 High. 1st was out of anger. 2nd was to test if he could do it again 3rd was after he recruited another member to prove it was possible 4th was after recruiting another member for the same reasons 5th (High Epic) Was to see if they could bring one down before Chasmfiend They are NOT Reckoners. In fact, on the last one, he shot a Reckoner in the leg before the guy could kill the epic. 2nd member; Point Man (NOT Major POV)- Name: Da'jonte Chatman Age: 30 Skills: Strong and very fast, he is trained in martial arts. He joined after his daughter was killed by an epic. He wishes for revenge, like Kyordu, and has nothing to really live for. Appearance: He is black, and has a look of constant suspicion about him. Green eyes, black hair. Modus Operandi: He mostly follows Kyordu's orders. Wishes to find the black cloaked epic that killed his daughter.Currently moving to Corvallis, as Kyordu is. 3rd member: Operations/Secondary Tech Name: Gavin Johnson Age: 17 Skills: Recently made lorist, and a fairly skilled engineer. Works with Kyordu to provide tech. Joined because he wanted to learn from Kyordu, but was at first skeptical of the ability to kill epics. Appearance: Pale White, with black hair and brown eyes. Always looks down, as if ashamed of something. Modus Operandi: Runs from behind the lines. Doesn't go outside a lot. Lays low in the base or runs errands when someone has to.

So having forcefeilds or impenatrable skin is a much stronger PI than his. It makes for a more interesting situation in fights. I have a few characters with no PIs at all, and all it does is change how they go about challenging other Epics.
Bladestorm Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Alright, so no ricochet abilities. That leaves Wind manipulation, Reflex, and energy. Also what RP would you suggest? I dont know about the plots of any but wastelands, salem and astoria so I'd need a quick history of the other threads but id be happy to join. Edited March 21, 2016 by Bladestorm
Blackhoof Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Well he isn't strong enough for Astoria. Perhaps Corvallis, if Salem or the wastelands aren't your style? 1
BramFinem he/him Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Your character actually reminds me of mine, who uses forcefields to get similar effects to how you describe the wind manipulation, also going to join Corvallis soon (once I finish studying for my Psychology assessments, ugh). If you did want him to join Corvallis, maybe there could be a job that these kind of powers are used for there, as one of its big features is how epics are used in specialised roles based on their powers. Any idea what that job could be? Edited March 21, 2016 by BramFinem
Edgedancer he/him Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I put in the ricochet partially to stop damage taken from moving so fast, and I wouldnt be able to move at over 50 km/ph without being about to die from something moving VERY fast.

So having forcefeilds or impenatrable skin is a much stronger PI than his. On the wind armor being automatic. One of the abilities tied to his danger sense is enhanced reflexes, isn't it? At that point it doesn't really matter if a power is automatic or not, because he can always muster the mental effort to summon it if need be, unless the power needs some time to be booted up or something like that. Well he isn't strong enough for Astoria. Perhaps Corvallis, if Salem or the wastelands aren't your style? To be fair, no body is forcing Astoria to be soley about extremly powerful Epics. Oh and I found this reading through the Wasteland doc? -Warbreaker: A strength Epic with supernatural toughness Really? Such a waste of a good name. Why? WHY?! 2
Bladestorm Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Sorry about that blackhoof. Hit the downvote button by mistake. Well its not really fair to put minor epics in with people like the metal or the black jaguar, because theyd be killed by one side or another before long. I think I'll probably join the salem thread. Edited March 21, 2016 by Bladestorm 1
Blackhoof Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Oh and I found this reading through the Wasteland doc? Really? Such a waste of a good name. Why? WHY?! Warbreaker is a (super)strong, independent black woman and she don't need your sass! 1

Well its not really fair to put minor epics in with people like the metal or the black jaguar, because theyd be killed by one side or another before long. I think I'll probably join the salem thread. Hey, not everyone has to try and conquer the city. (Plus, I wouldn't actually put the power difference between Black Jaguar and Bladestorm as that big.) Warbreaker is a (super)strong, independent black woman and she don't need your sass! She is also a stealer of names.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 well i wasnt saying it was bladestorm It could just be some random epic named average man with the power of being average who accidentally goes to astoria and then DIES The Rise and Fall of Average Man 1
Nashan’Elin he/him Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I can't wait for the next Sentry post, she is going to go ballistic 1
Bladestorm Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 i might make Bladestorm talk about how beautiful he thinks the city is now see how him and vandal like eachother then. ART LOVER MATCHES
Citadel16 he/him Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 reading that was fun. Vandal for the salem win!! (for now )
Vikro he/him Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I get excited thinking about how mad Sentry got about Heartsleeve just touching one of the posters, then thinking about what Vandal's doing, and the manhunt that is sure to follow. 1
Bladestorm Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I get excited thinking about how mad Sentry got about Heartsleeve just touching one of the posters, then thinking about what Vandal's doing, and the manhunt that is sure to follow. the guy can run on buildings and blind people with darkness, as well as take out the main security system. His chase should be good. 1
Voidus Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 the guy can run on buildings and blind people with darkness, as well as take out the main security system. His chase should be good. Well not if she annoys Soulcaster enough for him to get involved. But then she'd have to annoy him a lot for him to bother. And he'd be almost as likely take it out on her. 1
Bladestorm Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Does Soulcaster have unlimited range? Because if he does he could rule the world simply by putting all high epics under am illusion.
