The Swan Dragon

Name: Arge

 

Epic Name: ThunderSpear (Very epic, I know)

Primary: Temporarily alters nearby materials in an area around him, roughly 10 m diameter (probably will need to change that though). This makes them highly conductive, and can actually increase the strength of the electrical charge going through. When combined with Secondary, explosion is bigger. Can only be used if he is angry

 

Secondary #1: Can shoot a bolt of lightning, exploding on contact. Releases an electrical discharge, stunning the few people that survive the lightning and shorting out any electrical stuffz

 

Secondary #2: Can create up to one indestructible spear, which he can use to channel his secondary #1 into the ground directly around him instead of launching a bolt. If he loses the spear, he can create a new one, destroying the old one

Passive(s): Immune to electric shock (dur); if he throws his spear, it will fly back; resilient skin*

 

*Bullets, swords, etc. don't hurt him. Generic explosions can cause him to stumble, but don't actually harm him. However, attacks that are more energy based can harm him, such as the gauss rifle used in Steelheart. Epic abilities that are energy based hurt him, though not as much as they would a vanilla (as in, he isn't destroyed, but will probably be pretty banged up. Same for guns of that type).

Weakness: Hint: It has legs

Effect of Weakness: All powers negated. No longer immune to electricity. Resilience partially negated, fully negated if weakness is exploited fully (will explain to GMs)

Appearance:

• Roughly middle height, around 5 ft 10.
• Long, curly rusty red hair (a very dark red, nearing brown) tied back in a ponytail. When it has been out of the ponytail for long enough, it reverts to massive ringlets (that’s just a fun fact—it’s never out for long enough ).
• He has brown eyes, and slightly tanned skin.
• He wears a slightly green wide-brimmed hat which can be buttoned up on the side to allow for a large rifle (though he usually doesn’t like shooting. And yes, the hat is actually naturally slightly green).
• When incognito, he wears a dark, full-body trench coat. Otherwise, he wears a dark t-shirt, over which is a black jacket, and jeans.
• On his left wrist there is a watch made with a special insulated metal which resemble stainless steel.
• When he goes full epic mode, his eyes glow yellow, and he hovers in the air slightly (that is just a side effect of electrically charging the air around him—not a true power), though just an inch or two.

Personality:
Positive: When he tries, charismatic. Also highly ambitious, though that fits under both. Third is focus—if he decides he wants something, he doesn’t stop until he gets it

Negative: In addition to typical epic corruption, he is callous, though he doesn’t intentionally kill vanillas—he just doesn’t care about them. If he is attacked with anything stronger than a rocket launcher, he gets really, as in, really, angry. Third, easily distracted unless he is in his hyperfocus mode.

MO: Generally just floats (not literally) through an area, scoping it out for anything he wants. If he finds something he wants (assuming it is an object) he walks up and grabs it. If the person resists, he electrocutes them, then walks away. If they aren’t electrocuted, he pulls his spear out of its back sheath, then stabs them. All of this he does without showing any emotion. If the person is an epic (i.e., they didn’t die from his spear) he launches a lightning bolt at them. If they continue to say no, he goes full fight mode, takes the object, destroys the area, then leaves. If they actively resist, he reaches the fight stage sooner.

Example for Combat (NOTE: this is from a vanilla’s perspective until the fight)
The door to the burger house burst open, and a tall, well-tanned man walked in. “Epic,” I thought to myself. “Not again."

He called out, “What is your best? Prepare one immediately.”
I replied, doing my best to stay calm, “Of course. Do you mind pickles?”
He smirked. “No.”
“Just a few minutes then,” I said, scurrying to the kitchen.
Suddenly, the whole room darkened. “Crud,” I said. Not aloud of course—I was technically under ShadowBreaths protection (he is going to be my next—you get a teaser here! Just remember that this is an example, and not cannon to the RP) and didn’t want to anger him.
“What are you doing here, puny epic?” he said—already his shadows were beginning to form around him.
“I just wanted a burger. Is that too much to ask? Oh, and I’m ThunderSpear. You would be…?” the Epic, who I now know as ThunderSpear, challenged.
Aloud, I mused, “ThunderSpear…where have I heard that before?” One of my cooks replied, “He stopped in at StrikeBurst’s place a few weeks back. Nothing was left.” (I might make StrikeBurst as well, but she’s further out. Or he, not sure XD)
“Oh.”
Meanwhile, ShadowBreath was replying, “A burger…that is fine. But here, you have to pay to get one. As for my name…I AM SHADOWBREATH.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Breath. Though I ask, why should I pay? Or do you have some sort of feeling for this establishment? It would be a shame if I had to destroy it.”
“As if you could...”
(3…2…1…FIGHT)
Shadows swarmed across the floor, sweeping towards ThunderSpear (TS). TS drew his spear and twirled it around him, small bolts of lightning striking around him, dispersing the shadows. TS thrust his spear towards ShadowBreath (SB—or SOB, sometimes ), releasing a massive bolt of explosive lightning. The bolt sent SB flying backwards, and before he could recover from the shock, TS was on him, stabbing again and again with his spear, never giving SB a chance to get up.
All of a sudden, he heard a sound, barely a breath, behind him. He spun around, barely blocking the sword strike that seemed to come from no-where. With a roar, he made the entire building superconductive. He stabbed his spear into the ground, channeling a massive bold of lightning. The entire building erupted with force, as a large chunk of the nearby town blacked out—including many nearby people.
When the dust cleared, nothing remained of ShadowBreath or the famous burger house except for a crater. ThunderSpear was gone.

Thanks for reading, and please let me know what you think!
Bai!
