Eh, @Voidus will probably check this thread anyway once he's on the shard again but if you do want to send him a message directly, you can just tyoe his name into the recipent field in the messenger. Plus, you should at least send him ans Twi your Epic's weakness.

Got it. Anything else I should know?

Probably, but you should still ask Voidus first. He's the GM (God-Mod) of Salem.

Lemme just find him first...

It's not the Volts that hurt you but the Ampers

This man's got the answer  

So can I start in Salem immediately?

Can't, like, just a few hundred volts kill people? 'Cause a billion sounds like kinda a lot. 

Arclight scares me.

 

Yes, a few hundred can. In fact, 20v can kill you - if the current is strong enough. That's why we see people getting killed by police tasers.

I think he was exaggerating.

Well, Arclight sounds interesting, but I think he'd do better in Salem. Then again, I think everyone would do better in Salem. There isn't enough activity there... But he would do well in Salem. His power portfolio makes him a very good choice for the fights, although we haven't done any in the while.

Not exaggerating. His max output is indeed a billion volts, but that would tire him out. 

Salem?

what would happen if someone with invulnerability punched him? just as a specific curiosity.

Still get a shock, but it would be like static electricity. His brain would be jumbled for a bit too.

I think astoria. thats where we generally put the more powerful characters. plus I think it would be fun to write a scene with he and ragnarok fighting or even being allies.

No idea who that is xd But sure! Can I get a recap for the plot there?

@Puncake Works for me. Now, assuming no one else has a problem with it, the questions becomes which topics to join, do you want a recap or maybe any preferences we should try to match up?

I would love a recap! Also, there's the thing about which one to join, like you said. Which one is most fit for me?

I think you misunderstand. There's no required fight for new players or characters. This game is more character driven, and while there are definitely fights, they're by no means a requirement. We do ask that new players with Epics write a scene demonstrating how their powers work and post it here in the Question, but there's no required fight. 

Oh, I see... So it's just a demonstration of power, right? Got it. 

"You want a demonstration of my powers?" Arclight asked. "Well, that's easy." 

He summoned a big ball of electricity and hurled it at a tank. The electricity hit, and the tank exploded. "That was because the tank was metal, and had fuel and ammunition in it. But this." He zapped a man in the crowd, who fell twitching, and was still after a moment. "That was pure electricity. 1 billion volts. Well, its the current that kills you, really, but the 1 billion part still sound impressive, huh?" 

He began firing lightning bolts at cars, buildings, even people. Soon there was carnage everywhere, burning cars and houses, corpses everywhere. Arclight approached the last woman alive, who was crying on the ground. "But look here." He touched her face, and she fell to the ground, unconscious. "Messing with bioelectricity is always fun." 

He then lifted a burning car up into midair, though he was obviously straining. "Magnetic forces." He explained, and threw the car at another house. "My magnetic field won't affect too high-speeded things like bullets, but a knife and such won't work. The magnetic field also generates electricity, so think twice before punching me." 

He parkoured over a few cars, up onto the rooftops, and climbed an apartment building. Leaped down from second floor, landed, completely unwinded. "Heightened everything. Stamina, dexterity, speed, reflexes, you name it. Well, that's... Pretty much it. Hold on." He approached the camera. "Who are you anyway? Put that thing down!" 

The camera fell to the ground, and someone screamed. 

Arclight left. 

That was ok? xd

What fight? 

The one I'm supposed to have Arclight do.

BusDriver was recently moved to NPC status, IIRC. He has the power to turn anything into a bus, and he's not happy about it. 

Ooooooh. Can I use him as the (obviously) defeated in the fight?

Alright. I'll leave final judgement for stats to Twi and the other mods, though the frying might be an issue depending on where he goes.

You can just make a temp OC to mess with. Check through the Epics of Oregon thread for examples.

Is there someone's OC or a "NPC" I can use for now? I really don't feel like creating anything right now.

@Puncake Looks like an interesting concept. What's the limit on his electric/magnetic force manipulation? What does the magnetic field do? And how heightened? Olympic level? Better-than-average? For example, what's his max sprinting speed, and what's the longest he can run for, at say 10 mph?

Keep in mind that any feedback you receive is designed to help your character fit in with the RP. And I understand it being a bit overwhelming at first ^o^

We also usually ask for an example of your character in a confrontation of some sort, such as a fight.

Finally, welcome to the Reckoners RP, home of organized chaos and crazy!

There's some limits, like he can't use magnetic powers to life things heavier than an SUV. The electrical powers won't let him teleport like Sourcefield but he can still fry someone's brain or heart with it, or stun someone. He can also mess with their minds by scrambling their bioelectricity. 

His physiques are about double the average human's. So, his max sprinting speed would be at 20mph and he can probably stay there for about five minutes. He can jump about a meter straight up, and his reflexes let him aimdodge. He is pretty much a parkour master. 

So who do I have to fight? 

I've been an avid RPer for years. Trust me, I know what I'm doing xd

OK. I just checked out the stories... They were pages long. I was used to casual RP with an average of a couple paragraphs... 

That said, here's the character. 

(I'm doing this in a debriefing style unless you want me to be more author-y, I can always change it.) 

Name: Arclight 

Gender: Male 

Age: 25~26 

Personality: Arclight is very ambitious but extremely reckless and confident. He would charge headfirst into something even if he knew it was a trap, because he think he can shoot his way out. He's also quite annoying at times and really untrusting (and untrusted). If things go bad, he will ditch everyone and everything and save himself. 

Appearance: Arclight is a Caucasian male with black hair and ice-blue eyes. He has tanned skin and an athletic build, standing at around 5"11. He wears a hoodie with a black-and-white design, with black body and white hood and zippers. The cargo pants are black and blue with blue stripes running horizontal around the ankles. 

Powers: Arclight has quite the power portfolio, with lots of powers but nowhere close to being a Hight Epic. He can manipulate electricity and magnetic forces, including bioelectricity (which requires direct contact) and a small magnetic field. He also has heightened reflexes, speed, stamina, strength, and dexterity. He does not have any Prime Invincibility. 

History: Arclight, real name Luke, used to be an ordinary man who was basically average and extremely ordinary in all aspects. He used to work as an electrical engineer, and made quite some money, lead a good life with a fiance. Until Calamity rose and a year later, Arclight became an Epic and killed his fiance out of a murderous rampage. He continued on to conquer a small city which was eventually destroyed by a power struggle between his and another Epic, a fight which he won a pyrrhic victory for, and he now roam the States looking for more people to fight. 

Weakness: Water. Because what else? Arclight fell from a cruise ship as a child once and almost drowned, if not for the ship haven't left the dock yet. 

Was that alright?

You'll need to play with your Epic character for a while before you can introduce a High Epic. 

Is there a profile I need to follow? 

OK. He was supposed to be a High Epic, so I guess I'd better work on another character and hopefully get him to be a High Epic when I put him up next. 

Gimme some time... I for got where I saved the file xd

Welcome! This is the OOC thread. Did you have a character in mind, or know what thread you want to join?

I do have a character in mind, but I don't know the power range of everyone's characters. Are High Epics allowed? 

And no, I have no idea about threads

You can get to it here, or just from the forums index.

Thank you. Found it! 

Got it. 

Hi people. I've read all three books (yet to read Mitosis) and would like to join in on the RP. Is there an OC thread or something? 

This comment is purely for me to get the site to notify me of replies so I don't miss. Sorry. 

Uh... Hello? New here. If this where I introduce myself? 

Oh man. I'm joining that. Do I just find it here? 

Just barely slower than you, three weeks for HP xd 

I finished the Reckoners series in four days. 

Weird. I picture Ben Affleck for some reason.

Symmetry Man:

All things are at least slightly asymmetrical. Symmetry Man hates this. When he feels like it, he can make everything exactly symmetrical. Near things are easiert to change than far, small easier than big. Living things are immune. 

This power is kind of a prime invincibility, since it's difficult to shoot with a perfectly symmetrical gun with two stocks and no opening. Offensively the power is used to make unexpected things like shoes or knives symmetrical to cause pain or, in lucky situations, death. 

Weakness: mirrors. The enforced symmetry of mirrors irritates Symmetry Man that much, that he loses his powers for a short time.

Well, a gun is already symmetrical. A rifle would be almost perfectly symmetrical unless there's carvings or flashlight or laser sights or something.

Also, if the RPG forum just like an RP forum, or is it a RP Game, or literally an RPG-7? xd
