I think you mean Tri-Realm Area.

Did he ever gift powers to Tia?

That's actually not an issue. If she were to pocket "air", it would be, and she'd likely kill everyone near her from the pressure of new air rushing to fill the vacuum, but if she only pulls oxygen, only oxygen would be diffusing back into the space. As a result of needing to diffuse through all the nitrogen still present, it might move more slowly than expected, and as such people near her (and herself) would suffocate. Particularly when you consider her range is city sized. People near the boundary of her power likely wouldn't suffocate, but those near the center would, I would think. That being said, I don't know how much the nitrogen would get in the way and slow down the oxygen.

OP seemed to limit options to Smash Bros. characters. Dry Bones has yet to feature there.

You're making plenty of sense! I was merely trying to explain why some people mess it up.

I knew a girl with it spelled Ester. But I also know three other ladies named Esther, so yeah. I think the Esther spelling is more common, but for someone who has never met an Esther, with the th making a t sound, I can understand the mistake.

Hey Venture Mistborn, glad to see you joined. A couple things though. Well, mainly one thing. What happened in your post? I've read it 5 times now, and I'm a bit confused. Here's some issues: First, there aren't any vanillas around, at all. Second, the only folks on the stage currently are Rainmaker, Blossom, and Cornucopia (maybe, I'm not sure if movement was required when she took down Phoenix). Third, in Corvallis, the government leaders are all women, making Inhuman inelligible to be Queen of Intelligence. More importantly, that role is pseudo filled between Blossom, Buttercup, and Euphoria. Fourth, how does Inhuman know who Converter is? She's from out of town, and had no prior relationships in Corvallis, so even if Inhuman was head of intelligence, he'd not know her. Fifth, we are wanting to finish the conflict with Converter shortly so that the RP can focus on the non-actioney aspects of the issues in Corvallis (that was one of the main attractions for the thread in the first place). As such, adding a violent Epic to just have him killed in the same post, though not that big of a deal, does seem counterpoint to not only the current situation, but also the city as a whole. After all, what are his motives? Attacking just to attack? Why would he attack the Queens, when they've made his life simple, and have supplied him with all the vanilla slaves he could want, and satisfied most, if not all, of his desires? And if he hasn't been living in Corvallis, how did he get in when the town is surrounded by a bubble of isolation? Most importantly, I definitely understand the need for an intro post that isn't simply "hey guys, I'm here. 'Sup?" but your post is taking a very hectic and chaotic scene, and throwing even more chaos into the mix. This wouldn't be much of a problem if the Laser Shooting Epic was a PoV character you inteded to play, but you introduced him and killed him all in one post, adding chaos to a scene that the other players have been actively trying to calm. And I hope you're not taking this the wrong way. I'm not trying to say "Your post is bad, you should feel bad" and I'm not even trying to say your post is bad at all. It's just a bit out of place and is prolonging a scene that the other players are wanting to end. If you're wanting to have Inhuman in some sort of intelligence role, he'd likely be working under Buttercup within the Security Department, or Blossom in the PR and Legal Department. One option would be to have Inhuman be a part of Security, and have him show up with Gleeman's character Mannequin escorting IcyHot and Resistor. Another option is to wait until the scene is over to introduce him. Yet another option is to have Inhuman not be a part of the government at all and be either a Corvallis citizen or an antagonist. Of course there is always the option to leave your post the way it is, and we'll work through it, though if you could fix the actual continuity issues that'd be great. One last thing I want to mention, Corvallis is not meant to be action oriented. If you're wanting a ton of action scenes, Corvallis isn't the thread you'll want to be in. The plan for Corvallis was to have a ton of political maneuvering, and be more of a thriller than an action flick, as the city slowly falls into chaos due to Euphoria's disappearance, the bubble around the city falling, and a portion of the city being turned into ghouls. That's not to mention the vanilla rebellion, or the trouble caused by Converter once she escapes. In the end, most of the action will (hopefully) occur at the end of the thread, rather than during. Again, I don't mean to offend or insult you. I really like Inhuman's powers, and I think he'd be a cool addition to the thread. Plus, it's always great to have new RPers. I just think your post goes against the common goal, right now. I don't think Inhuman quite fits with the setting, right now, but he easily could with a little maneuvering. I'd be happy to help, too, if you'd like. Either way, glad to have you on board.

UPVOTES FOR EVERYONE!!!!!! Because honestly, who doesn't like a good amputation pun?

That's how my district teaches it. It is required reading for all 9th graders, Honors English 9 and English 9, and we didn't take quizes, but instead used sticky notes to leave "feedback" inside our book. When we had finished, we broke into groups and discussed it for three days (total of three hours). It was great, and everyone enjoyed it.

Unless his power chains, and he can amputate the new Amputee to make yet another Amputee.

Not to be that guy, but my school district had me read most, if not all, of those female authors listed a few posts up. Perhaps it was simply your district/state? I always felt I had a good split between male and female authors, and my favorite classic of all time is Wuthering Heights. And no discussion of books for teenage girls is complete without mentioning Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. It should be required reading for everyone. It was so good, and had such a strong message that every teenager should hear.

My name is Devin. Not Devon. Not Deven. Not Devan. Devin. I've had a handful of nicknames among various groups of friends. These include Dev, D-Man, The Dust Buster, Schnookums (later shortened to Schnooks to be more "edgy"), Fluffy (I had a very poofy afro), and Teddy. That last one is short for Teddy Bear...I'm apparently very comfortable to hug, a supposed fact backed by over twenty people both male and female.

You like Epica? You should like Kamelot. Be careful which albums you pick though, they've changed singers almost as much as/as much as Nightwish. My personal album recommendation is Black Halo. That or Ghost Opera.

A new Buttercup/Blossom post is up. I didn't have IcyHot and Resistor restrain Converter in case Comatose or Silver wanted to do anything else. If you'd rather we just get things moving, I'll edit my post with another Buttercup section with them restraining Converter.

Seeing Mannequin arrive with IcyHot and Resistor, Buttercup jogged over to meet them. "No need to use Cornucopia's plants, IcyHot and Resistor are here," Buttercup spoke into her mobile quickly. Returning Mannequin's salute, she ignored his use of the word liege, now wasn't the time to get snappy about trivial matters. "Good work," she replied, "Set up a perimeter using your puppets. I don't want this one getting away if IcyHot and Resistor fail." She looked the other two Epics over. They seemed eager to help, which was a good thing. "You two, there's an Epic inside those winds. She seems to have the ability to absorb, convert, and expel energy in all its forms, including heat and electricity. You two need to work in tandem to get some of these industrial strength restraints on her. We don't want her getting away." The two Epics nodded, heading off to grab the necessary supplies from the dump truck. Buttercup looked to Rainmaker and her sister. Today has been something else... Blossom had stopped her ice breath, it wasn't helping any. Rainmaker seemed to have things under control anyway, and her chest's temperature returning to normal was welcome. Using her powers never bothered her, but it did feel weird. Hearing Buttercup's notification, relief swept through her. Perhaps now things can return to normal. Glancing to her sister, another Epic, a member of the police force, had also shown up. Blossom didn't recognize him, but if he was a member of the police then there was no reason to doubt him.

I'll be honest, I haven't read the other threads to completion. Would Corvallis, a city whose ruler is actively keeping it separated from the rest of the world, be much news to the characters of the other threads? Isn't the point of Corvallis to be a place in which Epics and vanillas go, and most don't leave? So unless one of the characters came from Corvallis, would the news really reach outside the bubble? Or at least beyond the crowds wanting to enter Corvallis? I actually don't know, which is why I'm asking if it's feasible.

Which is why initially it would be set in the past, but with a faster rate of plot movement, and so would potentially catch up to, and then pass by, the other threads. So both directions would be an issue, just they'd be an issue at different points in the thread.

The idea was for Corvallis time to be in the past with respect to the other threads. If it were the future you'd be correct. Edit: Regardless of which decision is made, past or future, the issue is a one way issue, with the other way having a simple solution.

The most ineresting thing about this news of children potentially inheriting the Epic gene is that they've yet to live. As many of us here seem to agree, an Epic must have suffered some form of trauma to then have a weakness when powers develop. Baby Epics seems to throw this out the window, as babies lack the memory capabilities to remember any form of trauma they might have during birth. Unless they don't develop powers until a later point, once a trauma has in fact been established.

Well, characters leaving Corvallis is not an issue. The player would simply need to come up with something for the characters to have done during the time jump. Ex: Chase leaves Corvallis, stays in hiding in case Rainmaker sends anyone to hunt her down, appears in the Dalles a week(s) later. The real problem is if characters from other threads want to move to Corvallis.

That would be a simple contract. "You don't help or start any kind of rebellion or coup against the Queens, and I will make sure you always have a place to stay here in Corvallis." That seems beneficial to all parties, and keeps him from actively working against the Queens. It would obviously take the form of a document, with many possible loopholes of the above summary being specified and ironed out. The penalty for breaking would likely be death, or loss of powers, or some other very serious consequence. That, however, is a discussion to have later, once we know if the Epic is joining Corvallis. One issue, though, is that the idea of having Corvallis's timeline be set in the "past" in reference to the other threads. It sounds like one of Aonar's ideas was to have the Epic jump from city to city. That would not be possible if Corvallis is set during a different time. Agreed.

My intention was for the grenade level of force to only be possible at minimal distances. But your point is valid. This limitation existed so that she'd have a means of fleeing if combat got too up close and personal. I'll give it some more thought, perhaps redefine the force limitations to be weaker, but not diminish as a function of distance. The issue with this Epic is that Blossom would advise Rainmaker to not deal with him. She'd be very adamant about it, and would explain all the potential failings of such a partnership (and there are a lot of them). The only way Blossom would ever be okay with this Epic would be if Rainmaker had a deal in which the powers could be abused in the way Blackhoof described. Your response of the price being too high would mean Blossom would be totally against it. Obviously it is up to Comatose to decide whether Rainmaker would heed Blossom's warnings or not. As for my other Queens, Buttercup would like this Epic, until he proved himself to be working all sides of any conflict, and Bubbles would avoid him like the plague.

She's not making grenades. The force she can expel her breath is maxed at the force equivalent to that of a grenade.

I can't tell if Kobold is being sarcastic and no one else is getting it, everyone is being sarcastic and I'm not getting it, or everyone is being serious... I do have a question to pose. This is honestly my mistake, so I'm fine with either outcome, but in my profile for Blossom, I neglected to mention she is immune to her own powers. This is most important for the whole breath power's max force being equivalent to that of a grenade. Essentially, I don't want her dying from her own attacks. She's still normally affected by fire and ice from other sources, but she is immune to her own powers. My question is whether anyone is opposed to me editing her profile and adding that in. If people are opposed, I won't change, but otherwise I'd like to. This was my intention when creating her, but I forgot to add it in. So, if you are opposed to the modification, please let me know.

Oh I know. I love freeform RPs, and I was honestly shocked this website didn't have more of them (or rather, any until the original Question thread). So I guess thank you for bringing them here. The ranty-section of that post was more to help keep myself from bottling up my frustration to then later vomit it all over the RP. It's honestly not a big deal, it just would've been nice to keep the idea slightly longer than 3 pages. Ah well, such is life.
