Kidpen he/him Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I have a couple plans. Mainly Armageddon is just going to be focusing on making it as difficult as possible to kill him right now. Things like walls around his area and sending out messages that say if he dies, the followers are to slaughter as many people as possible. @Drake Marshall Do you have any plans with Lorri? You have quite a few characters, so it's understandable if not. Also, is Lorri someone who has a weak will and will just do whatever he says unconditionally, or is she just someone who agrees? There could be some fun interactions if the second one. I also wouldn't necessarily object to a medium will, so you are pretty affected by what Armageddon says, but you wouldn't be willing to kill yourself or something equally horrible.
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Lorri is not immune to Armageddon’s powers, but she would not have followed him if she didn’t basically already agree that humanity completely sucks. Armageddon’s influence over her is comparable to that of a soother/rioter. (or is Armageddon’s powers working more binary than that?) Edit: I just thought of an amusing meta epic. Name: Tag Primary Power: Permanently trades powers with any epic they touch. Secondary Power: No tagbacks. Edited July 9, 2018 by Drake Marshall

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Cool. I was thinking about the Epic I proposed a while ago, and I am thinking I am going to create her in order to flesh out the ranks of the less-powerful Epics. Here she is: Spoiler Epic name: N/A Real name: Jacklyn Brooks Age: 20 Power: Being supernaturally attractive. It sounds like a boon, but in a world of Epics, it can also be a VERY large curse Currently: On the run from various Epics who want her as their “pet”/trophy.

I've also got plenty of less powerful Epics available if we need them. This Epic makes me very glad that Nighthound is not around anymore. 1

Comatose he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 She sounds like fun. A few questions though: Is it like a pheromone or mental manipulation type thing, or just appearance? How does it work with different genders and sexualities? Like, would it work on a female asexual person who is only romantically attracted to men?
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Anyone who is attracted to women is affected. Others are still influenced, and may end up changing their orientation over time. Other women's first reaction tends to either be jealous or pity her. Someone who isn't generally attracted to anyone in particular is immune, but they tend to slowly develop feelings for her. So basically, if people aren't normally attracted to her, over the course of time, they will develop a deeper variety of love. This is also true of people who are attracted to her. Over time, her relationship with others can change to envy/jealousy, pity, love, hatred, a strong friendship, ect. Her power is a first impression thing, but it also subtly influences other people's relationship with her to be more intense. Edited July 10, 2018 by The Young Pyromancer Clarity and Typo
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) It depends. If she's lucky, she'll encounter a niceish Epic and be protected, living a life as the Epic's favored servant. If she's unlucky... I introduced her into this setting because most of the Epics are nice-ish. Oh, and I'm working on her required secondary now. EDIT: Here Secondary: Circumstantial beauty. Example: she cannot become fat. If she is hurt, it will inevitably be in a way that makes her more pityable. Edited July 10, 2018 by The Young Pyromancer

Either could lead to some extremely entertaining and chaotic situations. Given that abilities are conventionally tied to the hosts cells, I presume that this would also result in a permanent power swap? Also, I will be traveling for the next twelve hours or so and probably won’t be reachable. I might spend a fraction of that time writing character intros, though.

It would indeed, although with the benefit that the one who has the power swapping ability always looks the same so they can be avoided by other Epics.

So everybody knows who is “it” in our superpowered version of tag
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 What time of year does the RP start? Specifically what season? And I believe that the year is 2025?
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) About the tag, it would be cooler if the tagging power was kept with the original person. Then they could slowly trade their way up. EDIT: Also, Voidus, did you get my PM? Edited July 10, 2018 by The Young Pyromancer

If you feel like it adds to her character, go ahead, but don't feel forced to.
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 I meant that it was required for her primary power.

I did indeed, but unfortunately I'm at work so I usually leave any longer replies for when I get home.

Don't worry, Nighthound won't be truely death until people stop having nightmares. So Helen of Edmonton? I bet Shiny feels bad for being left out. 2 hours ago, The Young Pyromancer said: I meant that it was required for her primary power. To be fair, Epics seem to have a bunch of little powers like that by default, from the supernatural sixpack up and to altered fingernail growth.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Just a random thought: the reborn Soviet empire of New Siberia. Da, comrade.
