breakingamber Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 What do you think Obliteration's motives are in the Invocationverse? I mean, we know he's still a slontzy mass murderery guy, but why is he like that? Is that some sort of weird universal constant? It's not like the Epics are evil there (I mean, insofarasmuch as any person with super powers would be evil) so why is he killing everybody?

I think the implication is that he believes Epics are evil not because of their actions, but because their powers are an affront to God. So in any universe in which a glow-y space man arrives to give people superpowers, Obliteration will be opposed to them, and in any universe where he himself gets powers he will seek to destroy humanity to prevent Epics from appearing.

The Young Pyromancer Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Blank would be especially frustrating to deal with if möbius doesn’t know what their powers are. For example, Blank could probably trick möbius into thinking they have a spy. And yes, people would notice quickly. That’s kind of the point. People would have no idea what was going on, suspecting spies, invisible lurkers, mental powers, etc. Paranoia is Blank’s greatest weapon. That and not being who you think they are.

It would probably depend on whether his powers could affect people in pocket dimensions... but then, the complications that would result from Möbius' powers interacting with other Epics' are one of the many reasons she's a backstory-only Epic.

Though to be fair, if he didn't notice he was in a pocket dimension, he would probably be completely fine? Or am I diagnosing his powerset incorrectly?

If your resist that or find your way back from your pocket dimension, she just warps away to her safehouse and starts sorting through her list of employed Epics for one that can kill you. So it really depends on whether Kokichi's cartoon physics are powerful enough to enable them to burst out of their pocket dimension. If so, good for them! But if they managed to annoy Mobius enough to get into this fight in the first place, their life is going to get a lot more hectic once a legion of California's toughest Epics start hounding them at every turn.

Also I kind of wonder: given my first bio for her, written pre-Calamity, establishes that Mobius has visited the International Space Station... I wonder if she'd have been able to make contact with Big Red himself. If she asked him "Hey, could you make me and Slaughterhouse a million times stronger? And give me a prime invincibility?" ...then what would he do? Annihilate her on the spot, or just sort of shrug and say "Sure, whatever" like he did with Regalia? So many questions. So many unknowns. So so many reasons it's good Mobius isn't an active character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's ridiculously overpowered, and on a lucky day she could warp space in time to banish a bullet headed her way, but if you managed to surprise her and shoot her in the face she'd die like anyone. It's why she's as reclusive as she is, hardly ever showing up to confront her enemies directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect. So I'm imagining a metric ton of Funtimes imagery in the OP animation... probably interspersed with brief, hectic flashes of carnage and mayhem at the hands of CorpseMaker, Nighthound, and later the Empire.

I can see three or four parts. Part 1: Thoughttown - The music is relatively dull and dry, with a simple rhythm and not much melody. Part 2: Corpsemaker's whateveryoucallit - The music gets much darker, setting up for Part 3: The Empire of Light - The music gets more upbeat but in a scary way (I'd play this on the piano but my mom's in the other room) Part 4: Conflict (not actually sure what this would look like) Part 5: オレゴンで何が起こったのか 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
