Milton Towren is pretending to be texting campus security like a model student, but secretly he's just taking pictures and wishing he was the one who got to ride a dinosaur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because alcohol. Alcohol is something that they should be kept away from at all costs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my experience, they'd probably be in more danger at a university where you can stay in a dorm and get alcohol via fake ID or a benevolent older student than at a community college, where there aren't really dorms and alcohol is only sold near campus through convenience stores and nearby bars.

He would be simultaneously very popular on campus and the most hated man there. Popular because parties would be more interesting. Hated because have you ever tried to take your exams drunk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend has it he's on campus for free. No scholarship. No loans. Nothing paid out of pocket. The people in the bursar's office just always happen to be too drunk to bill him properly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but that's the gift and the curse of Intervention's power. He can make anybody drunk without the need of physical alcohol, but he also can't create alcohol. He can only alter the brains of people to mimic its effects. Side note, I love that Intervention sounds like one of those joke Epics we talk about who doesn't actually exist in the RP, but he was an actual story Epic who served underneath Altermind, who was in general the least crazy faction leader.

the winter system Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Somehow Red managed to get in. Probably because she makes reasonable people too uncomfortable to confront her and for unreasonable people... well. She's not downright murderous, but she's totally shameless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Young Pyromancer Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Edgedancer is the GM, though I'm the only one who remembers. I even had to remind Comatose that they weren't the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm aware that Edge is still acting GM, but when that was proposed by Comatose I think he mentioned co-GMing or just needing someone to fill in for a few weeks.

The Young Pyromancer Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 How about we just ask @Comatose? Oh, and while I have your attention, Kobold was wondering what positions might be open in the Reckoners team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Wow, I just reread the scene where Lightwards finds out Nathan's not an Epic and wow. It's easy to forget how terrifying that guy is, in between all the jokes and in comparison Nighthound or even Darktimes, but he is still rather yikes.I want to watch that anime.

It's easy to forget how terrifying that guy is, in between all the jokes and in comparison Nighthound or even Darktimes, but he is still rather yikes.I want to watch that anime. Lightwards was so incredibly underpowered compared to everybody else. When I joined I didn't fully understand the kind of power level the RP was set to, so I nerfed his power set in every way I could think of. Limited zombies, no direct offensive or defensive powers, and even a limit to how many times he could resurrect. And yet, counter-intuitively, looking back I think his lack of relative power made him a better villain than he would have been otherwise. It forced him to spend most of his time fishing for allies and stewing in his own insecurities, which made him lash out in more heinous ways, and in addition made the moments where he actually got to be the scariest Epic onscreen pop out more. ...not that those moments tend to last long when Darktimes is on her way. The total arc of that scene, though, from Lightwards punching Nathan, Funtimes showing her darker nature, and then to Sam and Revolution getting to know Nathan in the jungle, is one of my favorites from the RP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he lacked in power, he made up for in ruthlessness fed constantly by a raging inferiority complex. He struck me as the type of guy who, if you stole his food out of the office fridge, would watch you, learn what your lunchbox looked like, and poison everything inside of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
