Screwloose Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi, i'd like to join the salem thread if possible. I was also wondering if someone's already claimed the Scrapheap powers from the google doc? Wasn't quite sure since it's in the claimed section but there's nothing saying who claimed it and I couldn't see an epic with those powers in the Epics of Oregon thread. Thanks.

Certainly is, I'm just about to timejump it to morning actually so Arena fights are back on! Scrapyard? He was a minor Epic so I didn't put him in the thread but yeah he was in Portland for a bit then I think he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case would it be alright to create an epic with similar powers under a different name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course, I'd recommend trying to come up with a slight difference to the powerset (Something added, tweaked or an interesting quirk) but other than that I don't see any problems.

Corpsemaker has sent his troops throughout the city to impose his will, and is leading a convoy on a PR tour. Quote got Upgraded and is now smothering everyone in an oppressive feeling of despair. And Neverthere got tracked down and attacked by Electro and Timeport, but Nighthound and Lucentia fought them off and kidnapped her. She doesn't quite know she's been kidnapped yet.

Blaze1616 he/him Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 First post from a PoV other than Buttercup in a LONG time. FeelsGoodMan. @Comatose What are "our" plans for Epics in Corvallis whose owners have disappeared? An idea occurred to me that will help move the plot along, assuming I'm correct in my assumptions, but the Epic(s) I'll need have been inactive for a very long time. I'm looking into the plausibility of my idea now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakingamber he/him Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Just saying: Isn't prime invincibility David's term only? Didn't Tia say something along the lines of, "I like the term, but I haven't heard it before." about the term PI? Or is it just me? Where has 18th gone? Just curious. I'm not sure if I could continue the Salem bar scene without him... And I really want to post something. I plan to post a WHOOC soon. Just saying. It'll be really long.

Didn't Tia say something along the lines of, "I like the term, but I haven't heard it before." about the term PI? Or is it just me? Hrm, good question. Though to be fair, we are in an alternate universe where the term "vanilla" is in use to describe humans. Unfortunately I don't own e-book copies to do a quick search for the answer to this. Also, it turns out my original idea as mentioned in my previous post likely won't work given how bare bones Gleeman's descriptions of Mannequin's powers are. However my research revealed that Chase does exactly what I was hoping Mannequin could do, so the real question is this; @winter devotion, are you planning on rejoining all threads or only specific ones? Chase is going to get involved in Corvallis soon-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did indeed, the common term is 'High Epic' although it's somewhat broader than a PI is. That being said I'd say the term 'invincibility' would be relatively common among non-scholars of Epics. I'm time skipping Salem for the moment since it's been stuck for quite a while, if anyone needs to add something in they can do it in flashback.

Mestiv he/him Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well then, I may post Argon meeting Summer post before you have yours or I may not, I don't know if I'll have time to write it soon. Anyway,this would progress the time only a couple of minutes, so your current plan won't have to change I'm curious how will Blossom approach the conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
