Bladestorm Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 I assume the girl is the one causing the dreamstorm? It’s a great intro. We can get started soon!
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah, comatose. We can probably start the rp now.
Voidus Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Guys enthusiasm is always good but try not to put too much pressure on one person, sometimes RL stuff comes up that limits the amount of time we have available on the Shard, sometimes you need to tweak a scene before you post it. I get that everyone is excited to start but Comatose will post the scene when it's ready. Also, loved the post @Comatose 1
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 I think we are just waiting for him to to get online.
Comatose he/him Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 I actually just remembered I left out Epoch’s weakness getting leaked. I’m on the road atm, and want everyone to get a chance to comment before we canonize everything in there, but I’ll try to find a time in between the wedding I’m attending tomorrow to open the thread. The girl is supposed to be an unknown epic. I thought it might be interesting to have a really potentially dangerous epic out there and have no one remember what she did (Jenn’s memory of the whole fight is wiped by the storm). My one thought is that the way Titan gets destroyed felt a little OP. Any ideas for an insta kill that would work in that scenario that isn’t OP in other contexts? I’d like mystery girl to be dangerous but not city breaking if she goes on a rampage. Maybe her weakness has something to do with being remembered and that’s why they work during the dream storm? 1

Maybe something psychic in nature? So normally people can kind of resist the effects but while they're in the storm and confused it's pretty much a universal insta-kill.

Something along these lines, that she is more effective during the dream-storm, and also her weakness is indirectly negated by the storm? Maybe her real name is her weakness, and she doesn't want anyone to remember it? I feel like her power, instead of a destructive power, is something like banishment? Instead of dissolving into dust, Titan was actually transported to some sort of prismatic plane? Is that too OP? 2

Banishment negates any kind of PI, I'd say that probably ventures too far into OP territory.
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Maybe she can only destroy things that are above a certain size. Or at night. Or when it's raining, and the dreamstorm counts. Edited July 14, 2018 by The Young Pyromancer

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Sure. She can destroy things when it's raining.

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Weeel, is it temporary or full banishment?

If it's temporary, it would be significantly less OP. Maybe they could be banished to some other plane for a certain period of time, but then come back to a random location. Or she could be like Megan, but only able to send things to the alternate dimensions. That would be really interesting, actually.

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Or maybe it's a random teleport that only functions on others. Or maybe Titan got sent forward in time. Fits with the theme, after all.

Since it was raining/dream-storming in the stadium when Titan was ban-teleported, when it rains/dream-storms again Titan reappears.

But if it isn’t too mindscrewy I have an idea for regulations: 10 hours ago, Hemalurgic Headshot said: Maybe the regulation is based on the rain/weather. Since it was raining/dream-storming in the stadium when Titan was ban-teleported, when it rains/dream-storms again Titan reappears. Maybe the power is connected to perception of time? Like, what if you could literally make time fly when you were having fun. Since the dreamstorm basically destroys all perception of the passage of time (because you lose short-term memory), the power kicks you outside of time for a little while before you eventually re-appear, functionally acting like banishment. In this case the power isn’t normally even that noteworthy (although still pretty useful), but with the dreamstorm it gets more dangerous, capable of temporarily banishing people from existence.

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 It's kind of confusing. So she can impose her perception of time on other people?
DrakeMarshall he/him Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I was thinking more along the lines of forcing another person to experience their own perception of time more literally. But anything goes. I just enjoy throwing out possible ways for a power to work *shrug. For example, it could also be a healing power gone wrong, if it tried to “heal” Titan back to their normal size and killed them in the process.
