Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 Ok, after reading through the thread, I'd kind of like to create a new Epic. His powers would be creating barriers or other shapes at will, and being able to dismiss them when needed. His name would be the Weaver, or just Weaver. Ideas?
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 More details. What are his limits? Are there any exceptions? Can he create a shape he can eat or drink? Tell me more and I will give you all I can.

Can he create a shape he can eat or drink? Tell me more and I will give you all I can. The substance he creates is the same as something he is currently touching. For example, he could put a finger on a bar of steel and make a walkway of steel, or he could be touching a plant and make a bunch of grass grow from the floor. He can only do this with solids. Once he creates it, it cannot move by itself, but it will remain where it was constructed, regardless if it's just floating in the air. He could make something he could eat if, for example, he was touching a ham sandwich or something.
Blackhoof Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Interesting power. Sounds fun to use :) one suggestion- in the books it makes the stuff epics create disappear after a few hours or a day, so how about the same applies with him? Doesn't make much difference for him in the moment

Doesn't make much difference for him in the moment How about he can only create 5 objects at a time, then they start disappearing. That sound good?
ShadowLord_Lith he/him Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Yep. That way he doesn't lose the nutrients from his newly created creepy immortal bunnies that he just ate until it doesn't matter anymore. it also provides an explanation for why the object could still be there years after he made it. How large an object can he make at a time though? If its an unlimited amount, things start getting out of hand pretty quickly.
Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Size of a car per object? That sound good?
Blackhoof Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Its a canon consideration, the way David talked about creation Epics it didn't sound like it was negotiable. Epics with the power to create anything can't create permanent objects. Basically a rule. And I think part of the point was to prevent Epics from just wishing up all the food they wanted for a ruler. You can't derive sustenance from a sandwich that stops existing in 3 hours.

You can't derive sustenance from a sandwich that stops existing in 3 hours. The exact quote in chapter 13 is Quote That made sense, most Epic powers didn't create objects permanently. The direct consequence of the most is that some can create permanently. Further more the Limit isn't always time, Larcener for example was limited by mass and concentration.
Blackhoof Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Oh I misremembered it, that is fine then

So for clarification, when you say "the thread" do you mean that you want to put him in Portland or do you mean another thread? 17 minutes ago, Blackhoof said: Oh I misremembered it, that is fine then Eh, I don't blame you, there's plenty of one sentence mentions in there, so keeping all of them straight is pretty hard.

Blackhoof Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) He would be over-shadowed in Astoria I think. Corvallis could have a place for him. Edited September 27, 2016 by Blackhoof

Mestiv he/him Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Ok, so now I'm awaiting Buttercup, Blossom and Kenshin's arrival at Argon's house I'm curious how Buttercup's plan will develop... 2
breakingamber he/him Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 LOL, I just noticed an entire thread about Mestiv's signature. Wow.

breakingamber he/him Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I REALLY WANT TO POST BUT I CAN'T FOR CONTINUITIE'S SAKE DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY! Can I post a WHOOC without permission from the characters I involve? And where did Vikro go. And some random thoughts: Didn't it say in Calamity somewhere that Larcener was the youngest known Epic, and therefore Epics such as Ari, probably Wraith, and others are out of continuity? Or was that just for High Epics? How long can we wait before we say an Epic is up for adoption? Like 18th hasn't been on for a while. And a few others. And Vikro as I mentioned earlier. The Trumpeter will make his entrance. You have been warned. So how'd I do? Edited October 1, 2016 by breakingamber

It would probably be best to send them a pm as a reminder when they do show up on the site again and at least for the first while turn the characters into NPCs we decide what to do with as a whole, instead of handing them over to one specific player. I see you did it anywqay but sure post WHOOCs as much as you like. Spoiler It was said that he was very young when he became an Epic but i don't think there where ever any statements concerning him being the youngest. In fact, Megan is "younger" than him.

Quiver he/him Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Quick update. I'm off work tomorrow (so far) so I'll try and get to posting. Dalles is overdue. ...so us Salem, because I can not figure out what to do with Sentry. Sorry.
Assassin in Burgundy he/him Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Ok, I think that I'll join Salem. Any last minute I should know about? I already know about the arena and all that. EDIT: I actually think I might join Corvallis due to the slight inactivity there. Edited October 2, 2016 by Assassin in Burgundy
Blaze1616 he/him Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Blossom post up. I ended where I did to avoid making Kenshin go somewhere she might choose not to. Plus this gives Mestiv a chance to post at least once more before the group gets to Argon's house. If Edge and Mestiv have nothing else to add, I can edit my post to move things along more quickly rather than having one or two "empty" posts. Just let me know. Edited October 2, 2016 by Blaze1616 1
