I'm at work, so if you wanted to be the hero, you could post the pony I sent you.
-
I haven't mentioned Khione yet in the RP, and I haven't added her to my post in Epics of Oregon, so it's not your fault. I'll add more about her if people are interested, but the bulk of her story will come through flashbacks in the Portland thread, so I'm saving a lot of it for that.
-
If it only works within the city limits, then I see no reason why it would affect the silent war between Snowfall and Khione. (Khione stays in Alaska, and the farthest she's traveled outside her kingdom was to negotiate with Vancouver several years ago, so she won't appear in this RP.) But if you wanted to give her a different power, that'd be fine too.Edit: As Kobold pointed out, Khione will appear in flashbacks. So adoption of her is off the table.

Funny--we have the canon weather manipulator Snowfall, and then I have a weather manipulator named Khione up in Alaska. It's an awesome power to rule with. (Khione uses hers far differently than the one in Corvallis, though--she sent powerful blizzards and hail over northern settlements like Barrow and Deadhorse to drive people south, where she rules from.) I think a plausible limit would just be emotional rewriting. Make them think they've always been happy where they are, without adding or subtracting skills or memories. Give everything a rosy cast; for instance, if she did it to my Portland character Nathan, she couldn't erase his memories of his friends being dragged off and murdered, but she could dim them in comparison to the fond memories he has of them, and perhaps even give certain memories a cast of guilt so he feels as though he deserved the treatment the Epics dished out on him. What do you guys think?

"Bubble" makes me think of the PowerPuff Girl Bubbles for some reason. What if there were two other Epics whose powers corresponded to the names of the other PowerPuff Girls? I love the idea of happiness used as currency. This would make Iconoclast the bringer of a currency crisis as well as an agent of chaos. The lack of positive feelings could also lead to some interesting propaganda, as the Queens of Corvallis paint him as a thief of peace and happiness, perhaps leading to an underground rebellion. Also, I now have the image of a sign that says "Welcome to Corvallis, Happiest Place On the Planet. Or Else."
-
It isn't that I saw the words "girls' club" and thought of cliques, which made me think of a movie that starts with Mean and ends with Girls. Not at all.

I like it a lot. Maybe the inner circle could be led by an Epic whose real name is Regina, who believes her subjects love her despite (or perhaps because of) her treatment of them, and who is surprised to learn from a new Epic (real name Cady) that her inner circle is not only called the Plastics by the populace, but is the most hated group in the whole of Corvallis, if not Oregon itself, and...Ahem. Sorry. What if the ruler called herself Artemis, after both the Greek goddess of the hunt and Wonder Woman (real name Diana, the Roman form of Artemis)?

Possible David Power? Spoilers!
TwiLyghtSansSparkles replied to TheSpartanDuck's topic in The Reckoners
It seems highly unlikely that David is secretly an Epic now, simply because he rejected the powers outright. Regalia says as much, and the fact Calamity ignores her after this implies that he didn't know why David beat him, but he wasn't happy about it. -
Yay girl power?
-
I like the idea of an all-female government in Corvallis. Also, am I the only one thinking that this could be Iconoclast's city? He usually works somewhat slowly, turning people into ghouls and letting nature run its course, so what if he was responsible for Euphoria's (or whichever Epic goes missing) disappearance?

Epic Name: SlowswiftPrimary Power: Name concealment. Slowswift can prevent anyone in his line of sight from recalling the name of any other person in the vicinity. Secondary Power: Cheese distraction. Slowswift can turn the conversation over what so-and-so's name is into a discussion about cheese. Why Slowswift does this and why Calamity chose to grace him with this particular powerset is a mystery known only to the two of them.
-
No matter the case, I'm fairly certain his telling David in Firefight that he "would always be enslaved by another Epic" was less evidence of his lack of fear and more ominous foreshadowing.

Bruno is probably thinking of all the puppies who will be saved once Nighthound is out of the picture. (If you tell him that there's a bad man who hurts puppies, he gets very worried; but if you tell him about how the puppies were saved, he's happy.) But in Mollie's case, yes, she's probably thinking about cheeseburgers.

And the award for Best Solution Ever goes to….Edgedancer! What is your prize?
-
All three of them at he same time? I'm not judging or anything; I'm just saying their dates would be weird.
-
Yes. They flew off into a bright and sunny land where there were rainbows every day and loyal pugs cuddled them as they ate ice cream.
-
Nuh-uh. Nighthound and Timeport will die as Ray and Angel link arms and skip off into the Paradise Land of Pancakes and Merryness.
-
I think I found a headline from the day Timeport dies:
-
"Nighthoundness" should be an adjective describing everything full of so much abject horror it defies all description but "nighthoundlike." "I figured their personality out, until I wrote them." Can I adopt that as my personal mantra? In all seriousness, though, I think this game is awesome for character development. Nothing helped me develop my characters more than being forced to answer questions like "How would they respond to a grouchy necromancer?" or "How would they fight an Epic brimming with nighthoundness?"

"Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend…" Does she, now? And what happened to the old one, Mr. TMZ News Man, hmmm?

Having a Bad Day? Stop here for a Good Rant!

Ooohhhh, is it that norovirus that's going around? That stuff is awful. -
Why must corporations keep so many secrets? I just want to finish my assignment without making too many assumptions.

I know, right? And I TOLD him it's for a school assignment. It's not like I'm writing a tell-all story for some shady tabloid. Even if I WERE writing a tell-all for some shady tabloid, the only result I can see is that people would appreciate their libraries all the more because of how much money they save reading magazines online.

All right. Just wondering what his response to Bioterror should be.
Hope you do well on on your project regardless of the Man keeping you down.
