Kobold King he/him Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 It was sarcasm. Too late. We already edited our mental pictures.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Too late. We already edited our mental pictures. I'm not too displeased. Max/Electro post up, in which Max realizes some of the folly of his ways and Electro kills again.

DOWN WITH THE EPIC ESTABLISHMENT! DOWN WITH THE-- --OH SPARKS THAT EPIC'S IN A TRANSFORMER. RUN EVERYBODY RUN! 2
Blackhoof Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 And now we see even more clearly why people stopped fighting the Epics :'(

Chandrian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Hi again, everyone! For those of you with an (unnervingly) good memory, I was the guy who made Lifebringer. The longer I tried to write him, the less I enjoyed doing so. I've given up on making him for the time being, and if anyone wants him as a character, PM me. Moving on, I've come up with a new epic. Let me know of any modifications I may need to make. Name: Afterglow (I may change this, as my original was already taken) Real Name: Briya Holmes Gender: Female Age: 23 Description: About 5'6" with blue eyes with vertical slits and shoulder length brown hair. Has large raven's wings protruding from her back. Cargo pants for the storage of knives and other necessities. Short sleeved or tank top shirts to allow her to fit them over her wings. Hiking boots. Usually has a sheath for her katana, which she often uses for fighting. Primary Power: Auramancy. She can "stick" six different colored auras to any object, effecting them in various ways. The strength of many auras increase with proximity, but others require direct contact. She can lay two auras on an object and up to 4 on herself Auras: Hot/Cold (Red and Blue) Can imbue an object so it gives off heat anywhere between -200 and +500 degrees Celsius. This aura only affects things the object comes in contact with after imbuement. Thsee auras can only be stuck on by direct contact. Affects only the first solid or liquid contacted. Fast/Slow (Green and Yellow) Can increase or decrease the speed of an object by up to 15 times, acting inversely upon increases in size. This allows her to throw something such as a marble or nail at about 750 miles an hour, almost half as fast as a bullet. She can also increase her speed by 50% and decrease another's by 33%. Aura works far less effectively without direct contact. Sharp/Blunt (Orange and Purple) Can increase the sharpness or bluntness of an object. This allowas for someone's sword or knife to cut through wood and some rock, but not most metals. Bluntness allows for temporary increase in effectiveness or both fists and bludgeons. Secondary Power: Enchanced Regeneration. All wounds heal at about 20 times standard rate, and she can regenerate limbs over the course of several days. Passive: Has a pair of black, feathered wings capable of flight. Modds Operandi: Leads a group of wanderers about 300 strong through equal parts fear and prosperity. Her goal is to find a permenant residence for her group, and expand her tiny empire. She has the minor epic; Surgeport, to provide power. His lone power is to charge any electric device of moderate size, allowing for electric generators and power to be readily accessible. Emotional Corruption: Psychopathic violence. She's prone to slaughtering those who anger her, but often releases her anger by slowly killing or torturing her foes. Pre-Calamity: Still working on that My apologies about that huge block of text. Please point out any typos or needed modifications to me. I fear some of my traits may border God-Modding, so let me know if I need to dampen them down. Thanks! Edited April 12, 2016 by Bluefingers
Chandrian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks, I didn't realize that I've changed it to a placeholder name for now.
Master Elodin Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Also, this may not be what you want, but maybe only having the auras would be best. Right now it feels like a bit too much, as the real power count is double digits
Chandrian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Yeah, I was thinking that, I lacked enough intro into that. I may keep manifestations, but halve the aura count
Blackhoof Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I think the Immunity is unnecessary- there are enough of those Epics running around as is haha But otherwise she seems good, although the temperature auras should be weaker I think.
Chandrian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I'll do that, any under-implemented PI's that could be used?
Bladestorm Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Well the healing alone is an exellent PI, without the unkillable by instantly fatal wounds thing. Most of the standard PIs are used a lot, like impenatrable skin, reincarnation, healing, or danger senses. A unique PI is always nice, but healing is good too.
The Swan Dragon he/him Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Just a comment on a typo, which you did ask about...at the beginning, you said 'with a (unnervingly) good memory' it should read 'with an (unnervingly) good memory.' Try saying it out loud.

Try saying it out loud. I think weirdpersonx is really a grammar epic in disguise:P
Master Elodin Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I don't see why he needs a PI. By the way, I would like to create a non-Epic, but I don't know which town they're gonna be in. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?Well, we all like to have the strongest epic. My original Bladestorm profile was for an epic with power over all elements, forcefields, lightning, and a few seperate PIs, so this epic is relatively believable. As for the vanilla, depends on personality

Secondary Power: Extreme body modification. Certain degrees of minor modification such as increased muscle density or sharper nails are easy, but heavy changes can become permenant. Permenant manifestations: Night Vision, visibly active via slit eyes Flight, Via wings Fangs and ligaments in cheek to allow for stretching Caustic poison secreted through skin upon will Passive Ability: Enchanced Regeneration. All wounds heal at about 20 times standard rate, and she can regenerate limbs over the course of several days. Modds Operandi: Leads a group of wanderers about 300 strong through equal parts fear and prosperity. Her goal is to find a permenant residence for her group, and expand her tiny empire.

Pre-Calamity: Still working on that My apologies about that huge block of text. Please point out any typos or needed modifications to me. I fear some of my traits may border God-Modding, so let me know if I need to dampen them down. Thanks! Others might disagree with me, but I think she has too many powers. Breaking it down, she has…. -Temperature manipulation (I know it's limited, but the profile wasn't clear on how limited; can this only affect the first thing the object comes into contact with, or does it stick around longer?) -Object-centric speed manipulation -Weapons enhancement -Mid-range shapeshifting -Night vision -Flight -Fangs -Freaking poisonous skin -Enhanced regeneration Any one or two of those would make an Epic a formidable opponent. Heck, just the enhanced regeneration would make her pretty strong; but she has that, plus a whole bunch of other powers. The physical enhancements are related to one of her powers, true, but at this point it's not really fair, because I have no idea what else she can create. Even Steelheart didn't have that many powers, and he's considered THE Epic, matched only by a small handful of ridiculously powerful Epics like Obliteration and Prof. Narrow it down. Pick two or three, maybe four, that you really like and go from there. I'd personally recommend the auras, because they go together and they're nicely thematic, but it's up to you. 1
Master Elodin Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I don't want to have the strongest Epic. I want an Epic with interesting powers and limitations that lead to a storyline that doesn't sound like "I beat this guy. Then I killed all of the other Epics and won life."
Chandrian Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Yeah, I wasn't going for that. To be honest, the more I think through the epic, the more broken she seems. Heavy revisions ahead.
Master Elodin Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 I know you werent, I was mostly responding to Bladestorm.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted April 12, 2016 Author Posted April 12, 2016 I don't see why he needs a PI. By the way, I would like to create a non-Epic, but I don't know which town they're gonna be in. Any suggestions? It'd depend on what kind of role you want them to play. Beleaguered freedom fighter or harried Epic companion? Portland. Soldier, special agent, or ordinary citizen? The Dalles. Arena combat associate? Salem. Plotter or servant? Corvallis.
