Ironically, some of the most interesting, scary, and influential parahumans in the Wormverse (Weaver and Jack) have relatively insignificant power ratings Edited June 30, 2018 by Drake Marshall

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Thanks! Here's Nicroburst. This is probably really bad... 1

Karabiner should be one. I mean, he only makes some of the weapons himself, and they work differently, but the Fence will definitely deal other Epic tech.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 The Moose will need to check out the Fence. You know, that might even be his assignment...

Bladestorm Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 So I’ll probably use all of these as very minor characters we can use as members of the belt to kill off ask something other than defenseless mobs. I’ll put them in my characters if there’s no objections. Spoiler Marksman: Able to mark one person, and know their direction relative to him at any time. Must touch the person to mark them. Buckshot: An energy epic capable of launching a volley of small, bright streaks of hard light in a general direction, with little precision. They have a range of approximately 50 feet. Uniform: Gains the skills of the person who most wore the clothing he is currently wearing. Ie. fireman outfit =fireman skills. Reaction: can perfectly counter any attack made in an effort to harm her, in any way. This ability requires activation, so a bullet fired while she is unprepared would easily kill her. Checkmates apply. TideBreaker: Ages rapidly with the tides in his area. In landlocked regions he is powerless, but on the coast he becomes younger and stronger at high tides and weaker and older at low. Functionally immortal as long as he stays on the coast. PiePlate: Can create an unlimited supply of pie plates, in a variety of sizes. Surprisingly useful.

Voidus has a point about Reaction's abilities, though; it is good to define the limitations of powers that seem "open-ended" sometimes. Can she only defend against one specific sort of attack at a time? If so, how quickly can she cycle from one protection type to another? Depending on the answer to these questions, this could either function as a moderate defensive power, or as a Steelheart tier invulnerability power. Ah, what the heck, here are one or two lesser epics in Epoch's territory for use. Feel free to kill them. Or to write as them, if you want. Vitriol: Everything about them is acidic. Their blood, their spit, and their sarcasm. Specifically, fluoroantimonic acid. Somehow, they can survive this. Clapper: Can overload all electric lights in a building by clapping. Causes the sun to expode if performed outside. Has no effect if performed outside. Edited July 1, 2018 by Drake Marshall
Kidpen he/him Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Random idea: Big Mac. Can cause one big mac per minute to come out of his pocket. His weakness is Burger King.

Voidus Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 I do have a file of about 100,000 Epics of varying strength if anyone ever wants some minor Epics to pad out numbers or act as canon fodder.

It only came up because I was trying to think of what point in his life the tide would bring him to, and if it was always the same point he would logically never age past that. It doesn’t particularly affect his character, so how about he just gets the strength boost and then a decrease at low tide.

You could keep the physical change but just that his internal organs don't necessarily become any healthier, so he can still die from old age. He'd just look very young when he did so.

Yeah I remember that too. Actually I just remember something else. Epics aren't supposed to be able to create gold. We have one of those in the new batch, don't we?

There was something in Steelheart to that effect but in Calamity we also learn of a power that's just general matter creation, which I do assume would include gold. So I think it's mostly that there's none who can do it on a large scale. But also, probably best to play it safe and avoid it just in case.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the general matter manipulation was limited both in volume and how long it could exsist. So probably less "can’t make gold" And more "can’t make gold in a way that would make a difference to the ecconomy."

When engaged as she is attacked, her body will find the most likely route out of the situation.
