We don't really have a hard limit set yet, but the aim is to ensure that you'll stick around. We have a fair number of abandoned Epics lying around, and we want to make sure we won't have another one.

So, since the Kenshin/Argon interaction seems to be near its end, I'm assuming once Kenshin reports to Buttercup we can move on to an all Queen meeting (with Chase as an NPC)? I think that was next on our list. In that case, @Chasmfiend can I assume that Chasmifiend falls into line and agrees to serve Rainmaker? If he does, I don't necessarily need another post from you, I'll just mention is response vaguely and move on so Rainmaker can be at the meeting. Just checking in that you're keeping ThunderSpear & Nijo in mind for the all-Queen meeting.
Puncake Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I've been an avid RPer for years. Trust me, I know what I'm doing xd OK. I just checked out the stories... They were pages long. I was used to casual RP with an average of a couple paragraphs... That said, here's the character. (I'm doing this in a debriefing style unless you want me to be more author-y, I can always change it.) Name: Arclight Gender: Male Age: 25~26 Personality: Arclight is very ambitious but extremely reckless and confident. He would charge headfirst into something even if he knew it was a trap, because he think he can shoot his way out. He's also quite annoying at times and really untrusting (and untrusted). If things go bad, he will ditch everyone and everything and save himself. Appearance: Arclight is a Caucasian male with black hair and ice-blue eyes. He has tanned skin and an athletic build, standing at around 5"11. He wears a hoodie with a black-and-white design, with black body and white hood and zippers. The cargo pants are black and blue with blue stripes running horizontal around the ankles. Powers: Arclight has quite the power portfolio, with lots of powers but nowhere close to being a Hight Epic. He can manipulate electricity and magnetic forces, including bioelectricity (which requires direct contact) and a small magnetic field. He also has heightened reflexes, speed, stamina, strength, and dexterity. He does not have any Prime Invincibility. History: Arclight, real name Luke, used to be an ordinary man who was basically average and extremely ordinary in all aspects. He used to work as an electrical engineer, and made quite some money, lead a good life with a fiance. Until Calamity rose and a year later, Arclight became an Epic and killed his fiance out of a murderous rampage. He continued on to conquer a small city which was eventually destroyed by a power struggle between his and another Epic, a fight which he won a pyrrhic victory for, and he now roam the States looking for more people to fight. Weakness: Water. Because what else? Arclight fell from a cruise ship as a child once and almost drowned, if not for the ship haven't left the dock yet. Was that alright?
The Swan Dragon he/him Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 @Puncake Looks like an interesting concept. What's the limit on his electric/magnetic force manipulation? What does the magnetic field do? And how heightened? Olympic level? Better-than-average? For example, what's his max sprinting speed, and what's the longest he can run for, at say 10 mph? Keep in mind that any feedback you receive is designed to help your character fit in with the RP. And I understand it being a bit overwhelming at first ^o^ We also usually ask for an example of your character in a confrontation of some sort, such as a fight. Finally, welcome to the Reckoners RP, home of organized chaos and crazy!

Finally, welcome to the Reckoners RP, home of organized chaos and crazy! There's some limits, like he can't use magnetic powers to life things heavier than an SUV. The electrical powers won't let him teleport like Sourcefield but he can still fry someone's brain or heart with it, or stun someone. He can also mess with their minds by scrambling their bioelectricity. His physiques are about double the average human's. So, his max sprinting speed would be at 20mph and he can probably stay there for about five minutes. He can jump about a meter straight up, and his reflexes let him aimdodge. He is pretty much a parkour master. So who do I have to fight?

You can just make a temp OC to mess with. Check through the Epics of Oregon thread for examples.

That I bring them up? I believe there was a planned confrontation between Buttercup and Rainmaker over it, so it'll be fun to play out. Thanks for checking in about it.
The Swan Dragon he/him Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) I'd say your could use ThunderSpear, but he's immune to electricity so that wouldn't go well. I made a temp OC for mine, ShadowBreath. He has minor shadow manipulation/creation, though they can't cut, and can create a short-lived clone of himself when he teleports to a nearby shadow (within about 10 meters). Wields a sword. Main synergy is creating a shadow behind his opponent and cloning to it. Now that I actually listed out his powers, I kinda want to make him a full OC xD EDIT: Yup Coma, that's it.

Comatose he/him Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 So I just reread the scene where Nighthound uses Lucentia's weakness against her (the infamous page 31 of Portland - EDIT - But it was actually on page 25? I'm confused now), and went through Question 2 to see if anyone remarked or began theorizing on what her weakness is. On the way, I found these gems: On 9/20/2014 at 5:46 PM, Kobold King said: (A random thought I just had: what if we introduced an NPC Epic who can supercharge other Epic's abilities? Perhaps any Epics who stand within a certain radius of him have their powers amplified by an order of magnitude. Imagine Altermind being able to throw cars with his mind, or Lightwards being capable of controlling hundreds of zombies at a time. It could be a catalyst for inter-faction warfare as they struggled to maintain control of this guy, and the amplified powers would only hasten the Desolation of Oregon.)

Citadel16 he/him Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 I could tell you a story about that, but id break the website before I gave all the detailed info... basically some friends of mine were discussing how one of them seemed to eat the space between objects and (as a result) teleported. so they assigned each of them a different type of "eating" power, space eater, people eater, and time eater. the next day we met at the usual spot and they mentioned it as an inside joke. after they explained the joke to me I made a wise crack, something like: "I guess that makes me a *poses like a super hero* DESTINY eater!." well, one year, Hundreds of character profiles, A purple "fenglish" notebood, a few dozen ships, a created multiverse, multidimesional transfers, deaths of all our favorite characters, an argument over a cow, and a Homecoming date later we lost interest in the project. but DANG that was fun.

There's no required fight for new players or characters. This game is more character driven, and while there are definitely fights, they're by no means a requirement. We do ask that new players with Epics write a scene demonstrating how their powers work and post it here in the Question, but there's no required fight.

True, while a fight is an straight forward way to do it, it could be anything as long as it displays how the powers work, from mountain climbing to making dinner. On a note that's definetly a fight. Seeing how Timeport is an NPC for now, I should probably put it to the majority how to deal with the scene between him and Lucentia. Although, I do see Timeport having trouble doing much against Lucentia.

So it's just a demonstration of power, right? Got it. "You want a demonstration of my powers?" Arclight asked. "Well, that's easy." He summoned a big ball of electricity and hurled it at a tank. The electricity hit, and the tank exploded. "That was because the tank was metal, and had fuel and ammunition in it. But this." He zapped a man in the crowd, who fell twitching, and was still after a moment. "That was pure electricity. 1 billion volts. Well, its the current that kills you, really, but the 1 billion part still sound impressive, huh?" He began firing lightning bolts at cars, buildings, even people. Soon there was carnage everywhere, burning cars and houses, corpses everywhere. Arclight approached the last woman alive, who was crying on the ground. "But look here." He touched her face, and she fell to the ground, unconscious. "Messing with bioelectricity is always fun." He then lifted a burning car up into midair, though he was obviously straining. "Magnetic forces." He explained, and threw the car at another house. "My magnetic field won't affect too high-speeded things like bullets, but a knife and such won't work. The magnetic field also generates electricity, so think twice before punching me." He parkoured over a few cars, up onto the rooftops, and climbed an apartment building. Leaped down from second floor, landed, completely unwinded. "Heightened everything. Stamina, dexterity, speed, reflexes, you name it. Well, that's... Pretty much it. Hold on." He approached the camera. "Who are you anyway? Put that thing down!" The camera fell to the ground, and someone screamed. Arclight left. That was ok? xd 2
