Instead of a quote, he could always have "He'll die someday. He has to!"
-
His data on Traveler would probably be restricted to "Teleporter usually seen kissing Funtimes. I think I know that guy!" Then again, he knew an awful lot about Epics others hadn't heard of, so maybe he'd know a little about Voidgaze.
-
I vote Voidgaze or Ray. Nighthound's quotes would cause nightmares and Lucentia's would make people want to punch things.
-
He might wonder whether Koschei would think an army of pandas worth the trouble of wounding and healing.
-
This idea is pleasing to my eyes.
-
Yeah, that's pretty much it. She could fret about how something was missing, then finally give him a fedora and say "Much better" before moving on.
-
Yes. Yes, she will. I can't guarantee she'll be happy about it, though. She might issue a "reminder" of her own. I would need a very good reason to keep her from giving Panda a brown fedora like Peter the Panda wears.

Autumn paused, her brown eyes taking on a sorrowful sheen. "Years ago," she said in a voice suddenly thick with what sounded like a Drusselsteinian accent, "I was a minister up on Mount Hood. It was a happy life, filled with singing and much talk of the olden days of potlucks and the terrible food they brought. But all that changed on the day when--" "Koschei broke in, slit your throat, killed everyone else, and said he was a god," Backtrack finished. "No," Autumn said, looking shocked. "It all changed when one of our own--our very own, a former Baptist, no less!--decided we all needed to try his homemade strawberry and cheddar cheese casserole. I fled to The Dalles before bite two." Maybe she says she was a minister, wistfully mentions snowy nights singing hymns around the fireplace, and then snaps out if it and goes back to being all businesslike and nervous about the invasion? She would respond by giving him a hug.
-
Out of curiosity (clearly not a desire to torment him as much as possible, clearly), how would he take a comment that she used to be a part of a little church up on Mount Hood, but she was "needed" in The Dalles and knew she was "more useful" or something there? I imagine Arsenal would register quite a few complaints about gummy bear launchers and loudspeakers that only play Ukranian polka music.
-
You tell the best stories. I'm torn between having Autumn say something easily misconstrued as her working for Koschei, and having her whirl on Backtrack and ask him point-blank what lies Reader filled his head with. ..... I'll go with "easily misconstrued."
-
The only thing Nighthound is allowed to interrupt is a gang of Steelheart-like Epics who are so angry at the interruption that they decide to kill him. So they do. And then they're so offended that he dared interrupt them that they talk about it for the next year instead of conquering anything.
-
Heh. Sorry. Black, about chin legnth, and curly. And glittery. Very, very glittery.
-
He was originally blond-ish, but when I learned that several people had been picturing him as a ginger and that I'd never really mentioned his hair color, I changed it. Why? What had you been picturing?
-
Yes, she has freckles. And if someone writes something about a character's appearance that I like better than what I wrote, I'll change it. (See: Nathan not originally written as a ginger.)
-
What Happened in Oregon: The role-playing game where whether or not a flash grenade will stop a talking, superpowered panda bear from turning you into a panda is a serious concern.
-
I think touch is the easiest way for him to do it, yes. I wonder how much difference distance makes? Or if Panda would be dissuaded by a loaded gun? It's far too easy to picture him trying to torment zoo animals with their own secrets.
-
Oooohhhhh. Panda can turn people into pandas, but needs an Epic's consent, right? Maybe Vondra has reports of vanillas being changed unwillingly, so when he sees Reader in a heated argument with Panda ("Be a panda!" "But I don't WANT to be a panda!") he leaps from the helicopter to keep Reader from becoming a panda. Maybe Reader's refusal to transform is one factor that leads Vondra to allow him back into The Dalles, rather than shoot him to prevent his capture in the future? O.O REMINGTON! DAVID! WE NEED YOU! It's SO good. I really want to find out what happens next, but I also want to savor it.
-
Yeah, the informant would have to be an outsider who had very little chance of getting close to Reader or anyone he might talk to. But I like the idea of him getting captured. It would show how good these pandas are at what they do, and force Reader to either prove his loyalty to Vondra once he was rescued, or join the pandas. Idea: What if Vondra spotting Reader somewhere in the panda army is what compels him to jump from the helicopter? Dang. Sunburst would be an extremely powerful Epic, and pretty darn scary, too, if she went in the Knight Templar direction she seemed to have been set up for. O.o A Princess talks with a deity.

Warbreaker chapter twenty four. Oh. My. Gosh.
-
What would her powers have been, if you don't mind my asking? Maybe more like BusDriver's power, only he can turn anything into any gun he wants. Also, the thought of him accidentally summoning Lightwards and his pistol and forcing him to help is hilarious. Especially if it was something like "Help me kill you!" …. That one would probably end in a stalemate. Or a violent shootout. Probably the violent shootout. Though Remington would definitely look on the bright side: "Now I don't have to waste time looking for you."
-
Are you kidding? I would pay money to see Vondra's face when he hears that!
-
And if he couldn't just "get better" from bullets, Mr. Cardinal would have a very good reason to stay away. Epic!Sam would be downright tragic. Epic!Revolution (yet another awesome name) is terrifyingly easy to see. It's not that difficult to picture her returning to her commune, displaying her powers and informing the residents, calmly and with a smile on her face, that she was taking control, and—still smiling—informing whoever protested that she was doing it to save them from Epics who were far worse than she. Vanilla!Aldo is not easy to picture. He seems like one of those Epics who was just….always an Epic, even before Calamity. Like Calamity just gave him permission to indulge his dark side, so his personality didn't change all that much. (Pre-Calamity Koschei was much the same way.) I can see Nathan going for either option. Though I couldn't even say what his powers might be, he's that un-Epic-like. Remington's powers would definitely involve guns. Lots of guns. Maybe his powers would bear a striking resemblance to the Army's rules of gunfighting: "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Bring guns. Bring lots of guns. Bring your friends who have guns. Bring their friends who have guns." Maybe he'd be able to summon anyone who owned a firearm to his aid? A Remington/Sightline team-up can never happen. The entire internet would explode from the force of pure awesomeness, and a thousand eyeballs would fry in the glorious light of their team-up. It's simply too dangerous to actually execute. (By which I mean that this needs to happen as soon as possible. As. Soon. As. Possible.) Argh. This would be the perfect chance to tell you all what Funtimes would be like as a vanilla, but her Emotionally Scarring Backstory™ shows it, so….

Oddly enough, the vanilla I have the hardest time picturing as an Epic is Nathan. So much of his personality comes from how he's responded to the Epics he served that all I can say is that what he was like as an Epic would depend on when he turned. If it happened toward the beginning of the Calamity era, I'm sorry to say he would have been corrupted. His brothers and parents were killed shortly after Annexation Day which, in this scenario, would have left him with no moral leash to keep him from succumbing to Calamity. However, if he turned sometime during this RP, or shortly before this RP began, he would have experienced enough oppression and abuse at the hands of Newcago Epics to become frightened at the changes Calamity brought to his personality. Eventually, he might make the connection between power use and corruption, at which point he would vow to avoid using them from that point forward. He's more inclined to avoid violent situations, or to try and defuse them, than he is to jump right in and stop them that way, so he might succeed. If he never made the connection, he might go somewhat insane, creating a dizzying array of personal rules and regulations to keep from hurting people ("Don't wear red, it's an angry color and might make you angry too; don't talk to anyone wearing a cape; do not do not do NOT go anywhere near that food truck because he always charges too much and that'll just make you mad" and so on). Remington would definitely be more like Sightline. He would use his powers to assassinate any High Epics he deemed a threat to the people of Oregon. Corruption would set in, but his faith in God—even shattered as it was by Koschei—would remind him that what he felt was wrong and lead him to find a way to keep from becoming the very monsters he hunted.

I can certainly see non-powered Thomas Cardinal taking on a Prof-like role, though I imagine he'd be more like Tia in how he carries out hits. He clearly loves knowledge, and loves learning, so I can see him taking on an almost childlike joy as he talks his newest recruit through their plans to assassinate CorpseMaker, who has quite the powerful invincibility, plus a remarkably effective basilisk stare—you do know what a basilisk is? Well, the ancient Europeans believed in a King of the Serpents, whose stare could kill and was only vulnerable to the crow of a rooster—though I doubt that's CorpseMaker's weakness, but you get the idea…. Now I want to see what could have been.
