Quiver he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Bit the bullet and hid my post. So I'll try and write something somewhat in canon. Also, if someone e could dowvote me 6 times, that's be great.

Kobold King he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Reader needs to do something. Maybe Vondra can send him to read Arsenal. Bit the bullet and hid my post. So I'll try and write something somewhat in canon. Also, if someone e could dowvote me 6 times, that's be great. Don't take it that way. It was an awesome post; this sort of thing just happens. 1
Quiver he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 HM? Oh! Sorry if I sounded bitter; twas meant to be snarky. (Actually, meant in a Bank Scorpio, "Kill some dudes, it's help" kinda tone : P)
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 Don't take it that way. It was an awesome post; this sort of thing just happens. See, I got this lovely mental image of Arsenal, eyes wild and grinning manically while twitching, sitting across from Reader who says "I'm guessing you're upset." And yeah, don't worry about it, Quiver. Stuff happens. 1

18th Shard he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 On the Fates, Atropos is not the mobile one, Lachesis is. She has no Insta-kill, nor a PI (though she can sort of borrow a PI). Atropos's instakill requires the twins to touch the person to create a thread, which is then able to be used to kill. It is less powerful then Deathpoint, although admittedly they have a PI. Epic Name: Clotho - The Spinner Vanilla Name: Hannah Norn Gender: Female Estimated Age: 24 Description: Conjoined with her sister Emily from the waist down, the two often wear similar things. They have a spinal defect that causes intense pain much of the time, which can be immobilizing. Has long, dark brown hair, twined with threads, and is fairly pale. Blue eyed. Has a cold, logical approach to everything and tends to speak in only the past tense. Holds grudges. Was studying to be lawyer prior to her Epicification. Costume: Woven cloth, typically a cool color. If confronting someone, usually wears golden threads woven in the shape of an elaborate necklace. Primary Power: Can create threads in any length and color merely by spinning a loom once, or pretending to sew with a needle. Secondary Power: Can 'bond' a thread to a person through touching them. When bonded, the thread changes color to reflect a person's mood, length to represent health or strength, and width to represent mental stability/strength. Tertiary Power: Can manipulate threads to a high degree of precision, though very few in number. Passive: Shared with Emily, they essentially get sewn back together after injuries. Note: Changes: Clotho and Atropos have the same power set, though each tends to use only the powers specified above. Epic Name: Lachesis - The Appointer of Lots Vanilla Name: Rachel Norn Gender: Female Estimated Age: 24 Description: The non-conjoined triplet, Rachel tends to be the more active one. Rachel is also dark haired, but keeps it shorter and generally tied (is this the right verb?) in a ponytail. She has brown eyes and is the only triplet with people skills. She tends to wear dark colors, with an assortment of threads all around her, tied in bracelets, necklaces, and in ribbons on her clothes. When not in the presence of her subjects, Rachel wears sweatpants and a t-shirt; when with an audience, she wears an impressive dress sewn from the threads of people around her. She has a nervous tic of tying knots in things, a habit she has tried to cull as an Epic. She was planning to play soccer professionally, or perhaps go into sports medicine when she was Epicified. Costume: See above. Primary Power: Lachesis has the ability to 'tie' people together, in either a positive or negative tie. This ability requires being able to tough the people in question, but if she uses Hannah's threads, she can do it when in sight of the person. A positive tie requires her to tie threads middles together; when this happens, one person's health leaks over to the other (ex. One is stabbed, the other person is not. The stabbed one slowly heals from the wound. During this, the un stabbed person also feels the stabbed person's pain). A negative tie ties ends together, essentially making the pair voodoo dolls for each other. One is stabbed, so is the other. Only one tie can be attached to anyone person at a time. She can remove these ties, though it takes the same conditions as making them. Secondary Power: Can manipulate cloth and threads on a large scale, though not precisely. Passive: Not really a passive, but she has positively tied herself to her sister Emily, so she can't die unless they both do. Epic Name: Atropos - The Cutter of Threads Vanilla Name: Emily Norn Gender: Female Estimated Age: 24 Description: Conjoined with her sister Hannah from the waist down, the two often wear similar things. See Clothos for more. Has long, dark brown hair, straight and unornamented, and is fairly pale. Blue eyed. Gets angry the easiest of the sisters, but also cools off fairly quickly. Emily prefers not to deal with the subtleties and nuances of things, instead opting for a straightforward approach. She also gets annoyed with her inability to move easily often, and gets quite annoyed when Hannah does not let her do what she wants to. Costume: Woven cloth, typically a warm color. If confronting someone, usually wears golden threads woven up her arms in elaborate patterns. Primary Power: Can kill someone merely by severing their thread, a thread created by Hannah (which requires touch). Secondary Power: Can summon scissors of any style and varying size out of nowhere. Tertiary Power: Can heal others by sewing them together. This does not fix their body, merely keeps them alive. If someone receives a gut wound and she heals it, their gut will still be bleeding internally and hurt. They will just not die. Quaternary Power: Can dissolve threads into thin air. Passive: Shared with Emily, they essentially get sewn back together after injuries. Summary of changes: Passive of the conjoined twins: threads form out of nowhere, condensing to heal the injury. Heals virtually every physical injury: illness/diseases can be healed through self destruction, though this is painful. In this case, the threads appear and sew into the two fully healthy. Conjoined twins are either always in intense pain or have a spinal defect preventing them from feeling pain to prevent Epic twin murder During their Rending, they couldn't murder each other - their PI would heal them back as they were (also prevents splitting surgery) and if a weakness was in effect it would kill both (the living twin would heal both's bodies but the dead twin's half would be dead and begin to decay/have necrosis, which would eventually kill both). This should balance them somewhat, as either twin's weakness is a death sentence for both.

18th Shard he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 No, each tie is a direct one to one thing. To tie herself or anyone else to a different person, she has to dissolve the existing tie.
Bladestorm Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Im trying to think of some reasonable limitations for my australian epic. Right now he is just a gifter who is faster, stronger, has more endurance, and has better senses and reflexes than a regular human. He also has very thick skin and backup organs, but these are unique to him. His gifting is permanent as it actually changes your body, but im not sure how much it should change a person. I had intended him to be able to gift to stronger physically than the immortals, with no extra perks, but sprinting for an hour is already pretty boss and making them too much faster or stronger would practically be superspeed... any ideas?
mail-mi he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 ...and then Arsenal pulled out a gun. Yup, really not a big deal. But, what if the interview happened at Stormgate? With Vondra watching over them?
Mckeedee123 he/him Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Yeah, who's Foodstock? An Epic Edge just introduced in the Wastelands.
Bladestorm Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 Yeah, who's Foodstock? I got the impression she was an epic with minor matter manipulation creation/manipulation who could make food and change body types with it, but thats just me. And i vote she becomes the newest ATTD member
Voidus Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Im trying to think of some reasonable limitations for my australian epic.

I had intended him to be able to gift to stronger physically than the immortals, with no extra perks, but sprinting for an hour is already pretty boss and making them too much faster or stronger would practically be superspeed... any ideas? That's a pretty limited case, and it's not really extra endurance so much as their healing just keeping them from collapsing, it's pretty painful for them to do but they're also pretty immune to pain. But they don't run any faster than a normal person would, they can just keep it up longer. I got the impression she was an epic with minor matter manipulation creation/manipulation who could make food and change body types with it, but thats just me. And i vote she becomes the newest ATTD member Yeah, imagine Nighthound crossed with Shiny Sparkle and then give them the ability to alter womens bodies on command.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 With all the ATTD members, we need more Happily Ever After members just to balance things out. 1
Voidus Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 With all the ATTD members, we need more Happily Ever After members just to balance things out. So what you're saying is... Voidus needs to make and introduce more Epics? 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 So what you're saying is... Voidus needs to make and introduce more Epics? No….no….I think we just need to find more characters to cheer for. Though I'm imagining a new Epic called Happily Ever After Man now, for some reason. 1
Voidus Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 No….no….I think we just need to find more characters to cheer for. Though I'm imagining a new Epic called Happily Ever After Man now, for some reason. Oh ok, I think I get it now. So Voidus should make and introduce more Epics and then get people to cheer for them? 2
Kobold King he/him Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 The depressing thing is how many ATTD listers would belong on the Happily Ever After list if it weren't for Calamity tinkering with their brains.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 The popularity of the And Then They Died List highlighted the need for a counterpart. A list of characters to root for, to hope they get their happy ending, even if they have to earn it. So, without further ado, may I present…. And Then They Lived Happily Ever After Revised as needed Criteria: To be placed on this list, a character must be the sort you root for and cheer on when things get awful. Kindness, friendliness, gentleness, and a sense of humor are a few but by no means the only qualities that can nominate a character for this list. If a character is likable, they're a contender. Members: Oregon chapter Ray MV* Autumn Glass Baxter Game Voidgaze Big Al Sam Trattner Revolution Sunburst Jones Nathan Sperry Edgerunner Scribbler Commander Vondra Vapor Snake Protector Pug "Suki" Flashpoint Ari Ray *Not because we like her or anything. Look at it. It's so small, compared to the other list. Oh ok, I think I get it now. So Voidus should make and introduce more Epics and then get people to cheer for them? Oh great. Does this mean we'll have an Epic called Cheering Section whose powers involve breaking the fourth wall to get people to cheer? The depressing thing is how many ATTD listers would belong on the Happily Ever After list if it weren't for Calamity tinkering with their brains. No kidding. 2
Voidus Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Oh great. Does this mean we'll have an Epic called Cheering Section whose powers involve breaking the fourth wall to get people to cheer? *Rapid typing* No.... they're called Cheering Area now. 1
Master Elodin Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I could make a redeemed Epic. I have found that writing Ozymandias just doesn't work for me, as he is not my character and I'm not sure of his personality. So I'm thinking about someone like this: Epic Name: Blackout Primary: Can manipulate energy to a degree, but not convert it. Secondary: Can cancel someone's positive or negative emotions. Tertiary: Invisibility. Personality: Easily offended, funny. Appearance: Red hair, gray eyes, tall. Always wearing a coat, for some mysterious reason. That's all I have right now.

We're trying to keep the number of redeemed Epics to a minimum, since it was pretty rare in canon, so introducing one just for the sake of having someone to cheer for seems….off. But thanks for the offer.
Voidus Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Well what about a stereotypical superhero, bad puns included.For instance- BubbleBurst: Can cause detergents to explode violently."Sorry to burst your bubble!""Time to clean up here""Sorry to pop in" We're trying to keep the number of redeemed Epics to a minimum, since it was pretty rare in canon, so introducing one just for the sake of having someone to cheer for seems….off. But thanks for the offer. Although actually it may not be as rare as we thought, there were four in canon and that's only of the major characters, so four out of roughly twenty or so isn't bad odds.
