The Swan Dragon

We'll see, I have plans for Drainer that may or may not let him meet Thunderspear in the future 

Weeeeeeeell...where is Drainer ATM? ThunderSpear is currently just wandering.

Also, Comatose, do you know of anyone else who ThunderSpear could steal from/jobs that rainmaker would give him?

So you want to add a vanilla to Portland?

If there is a good way for him to join in. He's part of that group of vanillas that we were working on a bit ago that weren't all action heroes, so he spends most of his time trying to avoid stronger epics. He does have an honorable streak though, and will stop people from taking advantage of chaos where he can.

It's the unicyclist in front of a sign saying keep Portland weird.

Portland...=...weird?! I WANT IN!!!!!

EDIT: I actually can, I have a vanilla character name Nijo.

I assume you all have seen this.

What does it say? I'm on a borrowed laptop and the site is blocked. Can you just insert the image into a post?

We'll see, I have plans for Drainer that may or may not let him meet Thunderspear in the future 

Tell me where, and I'll make up a suitably blow-up-able vanilla place (huehuehuehuehue)

I will post something today with Drainer reaction to the robbery. Can't decide if it should be Drainer PoV or some messaging with Summer...

 

EDIT: And done

Sweet! Thunderspear won't steal from Drainer again, but maybe they should bump into each other? And Drainer sees the necklace?

you should probably wait i think.

Okay. 

Are we gonna get a Corvallis Drainer post, or should I just go ahead and take from someone else/blast some insulting vanilla establishment.

Does anyone have anymore thoughts about Pillowfight, or is he good to go?

I have a thought.

*cough* Nothing.

Modus Operandi:

He mostly follows Kyordu's orders. Wishes to find the black cloaked epic that killed his daughter.

Currently moving to Corvallis, as Kyordu is.

Hmmm...possibly ThunderSpear? He's a high epic who just arrived, usually wanders a lot. Quite possibly killed her. Wears a trench coat.

 Didn't we shut down a character exactly like this a few weeks ago?

 

Eh. Anyway, having a character's MO as "kill Epics" doesn't really work. I mean... most of the characters in the RP are Epics. They always either mellow out or become obsolete.

Scadrian...Waffle...Cook. My life is complete. Someone please get me to that much reputation and lock it there.

YAY, more stuff in Corvallis! ((Is this a hint at her weakness?))

Quick clarification (since I want to make sure I'm doing this right)

Do I have to PM my new Epic's weakness just to the thread GM, or do I have to send it to Twi as well? In the Rules thread, this question had an and/or on it so I'm not entirely sure.

Both. ((Twi, you do have mine, right?))

He probably means this.

 

I'd also apreciate some more concrete limitations on how detailed he can get plus altering stuff on an atomic level tends to do much more weird stuff than people realize.

Beat cha!

What is it? I'm open to any suggestions.

((This quoting Twi))

Epic Name: 

Real Name (optional): 

Age (optional): 

Primary Power: 

Secondary Power (if existent): 

Tertiary Power (if existent): 

Prime Invincibility (if existent):

Weakness (optional*): 

 

*Although you don't have to post the weakness in public, if it's not posted here, PM it to me and the thread GM.

 

Also, post an example scene where he/she uses their powers in combat.

I here to approve an Epic for Corvallis. Here he his.

Nane: The Alchemist

Can touch any material and manipulate it, and can be detailed enough to alter it atomically(can change elements into other elements, change the shape of objects, create and dissolve molecular bonds). Can use this to repair stuff, and combine organisms. Can affect material about the size of a 5 story building.

Feel free to ask any questions or voice concerns.

You may want to flesh out your idea a bit more...we do have a full format for new characters.

Just checked, what is free form role playing has 666 view. Life = complete.

Not as far as I know, and I try to stay on top of them.

 

ACTUAL SPOILER

Yay, at least it's not Weirdo

@ChickenPlague, I'd probably say your nickname is 'An Angry Chicken' ((Hint Hint Reference))

Nope, it just means you're one of us.

*Starts chanting*

*Continues the chant*

Your forum name, like recapturing escaped Azkaban inmates, is sirius business.

What's my forum name?

Spoiler gods? What would they even look like….

 

Oh. Of course.

Is it bad that I finished the book in maybe 2 1/2 hours of straight reading? 

I FINALLY GOT CALAMITY!!!!! TOMORROW I CAN JOIN THE RANKS OF THE SPOILER GODS!!!!

ehem. I'm a little bit exited.

Thanks! I was shooting for something sort of in the middle power-wise. He can only have one link at a time, but can open and close them very quickly. 

Cool, just make sure to have that in the original post, just edit it. Love that you're joining in, and hope to see you soon in a WHI_ thread. Just don't forget to ask a GM.

Well, I've been following this RP for a while, so I decided to try my hand at Epic Creation. 

It's funny, the two places I was most interested in (Portland and the Dalles) are closed to Epics. So maybe I'll make a vanilla later.

Here goes:

Snare

 

Epic Name: Snare

Age: 24

 

Appearance:

Snare wears a black jacket and pants. He does not wear shoes, or anything on his hands. He has brown hair, grey eyes, and usually has a look of concentration on his face. He's tall, lightly muscled, a little bit unkempt-looking.

 

Primary Power: Quantum entanglement. Basically, he can touch two objects to "link" them together. Anything that happens to one object will happen to the other, inverted. (Think the reverse fabrials from WoR that Navani uses to lift a platform.) He can use this to stop most things, person or object, by linking them to the ground. Snare can link to one object and hold the link open, allowing him to go somewhere else before linking to the other object. Since weight and momentum factor into his links, it's very hard for him to do anything with large or heavy objects.

 

Secondary-ish Power: If Snare concentrates reeeeeally hard, he can constantly link and re-link everything touching him to something else. Gives him a very weak PI, he can freeze bullets and other projectiles. He can only keep it up for about 10 seconds, tops.

 

Background: Jack Woods was a college grad student pre-Calamity, in engineering. He got his powers a couple months after Calamity rose, and his Rending pretty much consisted of pushing heavy things off roofs and using them to slam people into walls. Or straight into the air. Though he hurt a couple dozen people, he only killed two. After his Rending, he left the university, and was last seem at some (as-yet undecided) location in Oregon... 

 

Scene detailing his powers:

Snare strode into the small town. Night was just starting to fall, and the decrepit buildings surrounding him were just beginning to vanish under the cover of shadow. As he walked, his bare feet making a smack-smack against the packed dirt, he pulled two smooth, round rocks from his pockets and beginning tossing them from hand to hand. Though the street, if it could be called that, had previously held several groups of people, it was now deserted. This little town, Snare couldn't remember the name, knew Epics. And the people knew to get away if they saw anyone who looked too confident, or just different. Snare slowly came to a halt as a door flew open and a short, very muscular man walked out. 

"I assume you're the one in charge of this town?" Snare called, still tossing the rocks back and forth.

"Yes!" the man replied. "I am Beatdown!" He flexed, trying, and failing, to look impressive.

Oh great. Snare thought to himself. Looks like some kind of strength Epic.

"What do you want?" Snare asked.

"This is MY town!" Beatdown yelled. "An' there ain't no Epics passing through my town withou' paying the FEE!" He cracked his knuckles.

This is taking too long. Snare thought. I need to keep going. In response to the man's yells, Snare caught the two rocks he had been tossing, and held them for a second. And then Snare focused, lip curling as he Linked the rocks. Then, he reached out in front of him, and tossed the rock at Beatdown. 

While throwing the other behind him. 

The two linked rocks fed off of each other's inverted momentum, accelerating through the air. One rock thumped onto the dirt road some forty feet behind him. The other smashed into Beatdown's chest with a cracking sound. 

The strength Epic was knocked over, falling onto the road. Then, he stood up and laughed.

"Ha! You puny man, you think that would stop me?" Beatdown taunted.

Looks like increased resilience as well. Hmm.. This could be interesting. 

With a roar, Beatdown began to charge Snare. Snare shifted, moving his weight back a little, and shuffled his foot into the dirt until he felt something. He smiled, linking to the rock he felt embedded there. He held the link, waiting, until Beatdown was almost on top of him. Then, he thrust out his hand, and tapped Beatdown's chest. And closed the link. Beatdown halted abruptly, coughing as the strain of what felt like running straight into a wall crashed into the same spot the rock had hit him, earlier.

"Sounds like you busted up a rib there, pal." Snare said as he walked away from the frozen Epic. Beatdown was pushing, trying to force his way out of the link. He wouldn't be able to. Snare strolled out of town, holding the link in the back of his mind. It got harder the further away he got, but he held it until he was about a half a mile away. Then, he released the link, and continued walking. The strength Epic, if he had any sense, would go back to his pitiful little town. Snare didn't care about him.

He had far bigger plans to think about.

 

Normally, I'd say put this in the questions thread, but I actually really like what you have here. Not super op, but extremely useful.

How many links can he have at once?
