Comatose he/him Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 And luckily we are working with a world with canon alternate realities, so it's not hard to twist things at all and still be kind of canon. 1
Blackhoof Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Although i like to view the wastelands as having happened in the actual universe
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 And luckily we are working with a world with canon alternate realities, so it's not hard to twist things at all and still be kind of canon. Worse case scenario, we wind up being in an alternate universe that's virtually identical to the canon universe, just with a few key choices made that caused the timelines to diverge. A "what if" sort of universe, if you will.

A "what if" sort of universe, if you will. Which thankfully means that we can all imagine a much nicer life for our characters in the canon universe, where Nighthound doesn't exist, Deathwish is forced to go to daily sensitivity training and Lucentia lost her voice at the age of 3. 2
Blackhoof Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I quite like that idea- and in this parallel universe a LOT more Epics manifested. More high epics, at least haha
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 I quite like that idea- and in this parallel universe a LOT more Epics manifested. More high epics, at least haha Not to mention teleporters. A LOT of teleporters.
Kobold King he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Not to mention teleporters. A LOT of teleporters. "Sorry... there was a sale in my dimension... teleportation and prime invincibilities for fifty percent off... I couldn't turn down a bargain like that..." --Oregonverse Calamity 2
Blackhoof Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 And this means that our Calamity can be whoever we like too, as Larcener implied that each dimension is visited by one of his race, not one version of him. So our Calamity just also decided that humanity is worthless and destructive.

Blackhoof Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) "OK so everyone else is doing 1/10'000.... but that is boring! My world will be a unique experiment! How about.... 1/1000, and lots more useless and weird powers! and teleporters, and HIGH EPICS! haha! Humanity will surely misuse them in exciting and interesting ways!"

Edgedancer he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Who needs reality TV when you can just create much drama in the human world. Let's twist that corruption a bit to make them more entertaining. 1
Blackhoof Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 I have a feeling that is exactly what our Calamity is thinking. "Forget observation, I want entertainment!" 2
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) And that's Funtimes' true origin story. Edited February 27, 2016 by Edgedancer 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 And that's Funtimes' true origin story. She's his favorite YouTube channel. Her and Backtrack. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 She's his favorite YouTube channel. Her and Backtrack. The latter channel is constantly spammed with the comment "EPIC FAIL!" on every video. It got old a long time ago, but Backtrack's too scared to block someone with Calamity as his avatar. 3
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 She's his favorite YouTube channel. Her and Backtrack. So Nighthound is a horror movie?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 So Nighthound is a horror movie? Nighthound is a whole SERIES of horror movies. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Nighthound is a whole SERIES of horror movies. Day of the Jäger 3: And then he dies. The Panda could be some kind of of nature documentary. Shiny... also goes into the adult section. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Prof's original channel from when he was a teacher must have been like seeing Liam Neeson host Bill Nye. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Prof's original channel from when he was a teacher must have been like seeing Liam Neeson host Bill Nye. "And remember: If you mix baking soda with vinegar, the bubbles will find you. And they will kill you." 4

Which city-ruler do we know that fits that description?
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 So a really powerful Epic who doesn't actually intervene that much and is incredibly bored? Hmmm... Which city-ruler do we know that fits that description? Soulcaster is actually Larcener.
Voidus Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Soulcaster is actually Larcener. It would also explain why he does take an interest in arena fights, to prove to himself that all that humans want to do is hurt each other. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 It would also explain why he does take an interest in arena fights, to prove to himself that all that humans want to do is hurt each other. It kind of does... except for how he's holding them in a way that no one actually gets hurt. Also, I just had the somewhat fun mental image that during the inevitable Nighthound/Voidgaze rematch, Big Al suddenly comes to the rescue and is all "I am Calamity." Not sure why, given that it'd be a terrible twist but I find it amusing.

The reason that Epics turned out so bad in this dimension is just that Calamity has heartburn from eating too many sausage McMuffins.
