Voidus

No new posts still?

Proto-bioterror is (Counter-value), I think Bioterrors full profile lies in a different doc though, I was on holiday when I wrote down his full profile so I may have made a new doc for ideas. I also started skipping over already claimed Epics after a bit, since my other docs are a terrible mess and I don't update them so there's a bunch of Epics who have already been claimed in there that aren't listed as claimed.

You jumped in too quick, I was mid settings changing Should work now. Also, I now know Edge's name. I think I already did, but I now know it again. EDIT: Almost at 200 now probably going to leave it here for now. Only 9,800 more to go! (I think, I actually have no idea how many Epics I have but it's a lot)

Link Partially done spreadsheet of Voidus' Epics. And by partially I mean about 1/100th done.

So is either Lerasium or Atium, you can't make either without the Shard.

They're not all giants, but a significant number of them are, and they are still taller than most humans. But more menacingly, they're blue monsters in a giant bloodthirsty horde, wielding huge swords with tremendous strength. Their reach is also pretty comparable to most spearmens, they're taller and their swords are also gigantic. Their skin itself is practically an armour, like the Parshendi. 1v1 I'd say probably the Shardbearer wins, but 10v1? Koloss win by a long shot. They have equal reach, greater strength and a Koloss blade would shatter Plate just as easily as another Shardbearer could. Even the ones that are 5-foot still have the strength of 5 people, it's not just about height, they're relatively well armed, crazed and bloodthirsty and they have a heck of a lot of strength and weight behind them. Training is all well and good but it doesn't help against things you haven't trained against, Koloss have plenty of weaknesses but unless you know how to exploit them you're not going to do much good. Alethi have battle formations but those formations are designed to be used against regular human soldiers, not monsters with giant swords. If they treated a Koloss as a regular swordsmen or heavy infantry then they'd likely deploy a spear-wall against them, very effective against most heavy infantry or cavalry, a Koloss however is neither. They have the reach to go over a spear, their momentum isn't as uncontrollable as cavalries is but is still formidable and they have immense strength that far surpasses either. They would rout even the best trained Alethi in moments.

I may edit it later with more description and stuff, it won't change any of the story elements but just something written a bit better. I really wanted to write it today but I just feel like something didn't click properly, so it doesn't feel quite right. So yeah, hopefully I'll edit it later and make it flow a bit better, and then I can enjoy getting to shoot both Nighthound and Timeport simultaneously. (I er... snuck in a couple of extra shots into Nighthound, completely by accident of course. )

"So, Slytherins are the bad guys, Gryffindors are the good guys... Judging by Serena here, Ravens are the ones who know too much. What about Hufflepuff? Anything interesting about them?" Victors tone was joking but Serena still frowned slightly. There's no such thing as knowing too much. She responded mentally, feeling it would be too rude to say such out loud. ​Shannon responded with another joke, though Serena was sure she was equally offended by having her house referred to as the 'bad guys'. She wasn't a bad sort this Shannon, far less stuck-up than a lot of Slytherins Serena knew. And while she'd rolled her eyes when Serena had started lecturing she had pressed for more information, even if it was only the part that she considered interesting. But then, Serena had been forced to read those god-awful books her distant relative had written and if she'd had the courage she certainly would have asked to skip over much of the story. Well she'd done all of the studying she needed to do over the holidays, she could spare the time the train took to talk more. Opening her bag, Serena stowed her book away inside of it before sitting back down and rejoining the conversation. "Well of course the houses are about much more than just what the most famous people did. I mean everyone says that Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore were Gryffindors and therefore all Gryffindors are great and champions of justice and whatever but no one mentions the ones who blew up half the school with fireworks and then one floor into a swamp." Serena ranted, face showing more expression than it had even when describing the battle of Hogwarts. "Right in the middle of exams too! No consideration for anyone who isn't their best buddy. And then people talk about Ravenclaw like we're all the same person, a bookworm who likes learning stuff but they don't mention the ones whose curiosity isn't purely academic, or who we are outside of school." It was a particular peeve of Serena's because she was in many ways the ideal Ravenclaw. She loved reading and learning, got excellent grades and not many people knew anything more about her. But she was more than just a Ravenclaw, people acted like the reason she got good grades was just because of the house she was in, not because she spent hours every day going over notes. As though the Sorting hat just magically made me smarter or something. She scoffed.

Museum/Neverthere scene up, not my best writing but it's up at least.

Just as her mind returned to her body, Nighthound swept her into his hold, managing to carry her with seemingly no difficulty at all. She didn't know a lot about his powers but they seemed to be physically centered, enhanced healing she knew of, and now enhanced strength too. She almost managed to distract herself with her analysis but her attempt to rationalize the situation obviously wasn't working too well judging by the grin plastered on Nighthounds face. He took off quickly, moving far faster than he had any right to, especially while carrying her. Still it was sort of... nice? In a way? Like something out of a fairy tale, only he was running by himself rather than riding a horse or something. Although none of the fairy tales mentioned how uncomfortable it was to be jolted around by someone running like that. She almost missed what he was saying but the way he suddenly grabbed her arm startled her into clarity, becoming momentarily startled and embarrassed until she felt it moved onto something cold and metallic. "Feel free to shoot." He said. Neverthere had never fired a gun before, she avoided any situation that would require her to like the plague. After all if you were close enough to shoot an Epic targetting you then most of the time the Epic was close enough to do something a thousand times worse. She was startled again when she felt another hand grab her. She was just about to ask what it was now, her frustration beginning to leak through the wall of embarrassment at her predicament when she realized it wasn't Nighthound who had grabbed her. “I believe you’re taking my target.” Someone growled. She twisted in Nighthounds grip, straining to get a look. Timeport, the teleporter from yesterday. And he'd said target? So this definitely wasn't an accident. Barely pausing to think she pulled the gun out, her position was too awkward to allow her to aim much so she simply fired, the gun jerking in her hand at the recoil as something hot splattered over her wrist. Nighthounds blood spurting from his gut where she'd had to fire through, the bullet seemed to have passed straight through him, penetrating his body before hitting Timeport on his hip, a burst of blood flying off before the bullet finally hit the ground behind them. It wasn't a lethal shot, after all she was in a terrible position and had no skill in marksmanship to begin with. It was enough that Timeport let go of her arm but still she panicked, pulling the trigger again and causing yet another burst of blood from Nighthound before the bullet passed through him, this time into empty air. Timeport had teleported out of the way. Nighthound wasted no time, taking off again as soon as they were released, his speed startling Neverthere enough into throwing her arms around him to maintain her seat. "Sorry." She squeaked as Nighthoung ran, her hand was covered in the blood from his wound but a black mist was rising around it and already she couldn't feel the wound itself. She should be keeping an eye out for the teleporter but instead she buried her head into Nighthounds shoulder, too afraid to open her eyes again. MV looked suspiciously at the couple, Epics from the museum were exactly the last people she wanted to run into right now but at least it wasn't that creepy guy. She was about to firmly deny their request for a blood sample -Who in their right mind would say yes to an Epic asking for their blood? - when Backtrack took over for her. "Uh... we'd love to," He started. She glared at him silently. Oh no we wouldn't. He seemed to get the idea and continued. "We'd definitely love to help with your, uh, science, but, uh, we can't give blood." He said, clearly even more nervous than she was. "We can't give blood because we're... uh... Mormon." He nudged her as he came up with his excuse and she reluctantly agreed. "Yeah, we're Mormon. So uh, we'll just get out of your hair." She said quickly before Backtrack could get them into any more trouble, pulling on his arm and dragging him back out the door, looking back only to check that the researchers weren't following. Fortunately after a somewhat exasperated look they turned around and walked back into the museum, though Megan though she saw the woman put away some kind of vial. One that looked full of liquid. Must have been from someone else. On their way out she whispered hastily to Backtrack. "What the heck is a Mormon?"

Ah but the implication that the Dark Alley is not a magical land of sunshine and rainbows is not true! *Whispered voices from earpiece* I don't CARE what the dictionary says, it's my alley and if I say it can be dark and still have sunshine then it can! *More whispering* What do you mean it's not my alley? *Whispering* Well says who? *More whispering* Well who gave the city council the right to claim that they own an alley? *Long whispering filled with legal precedent* You know what? Forget the lawyers, I'm just going to start spiking the next person who says we can- *Interruption* Well how can we not have spikes? That's all we do? *Whispering* What do you mean giving away cookies for free that kill people isn't a sustainable business model? When I get some metal I am going to spike you so- *Static* Huh. So uh... our powers been cut off.

Well they'd be outnumbered by Koloss by around 100-1 so you might have something there, also not all the KR are actual combatants. Ok, I revise my answer, even with the ancient KR they're still pretty doomed. I mentioned this already but I'm pretty sure Koloss would destroy Shardbearers, they're just as intimidating and strong, have just as long a reach and their weapons are almost as deadly. Plus there's 1000x more of them. Mistings are far, far more common than Shardbearers are, at any point in Scadrials history. I agree they're not a good match against Shardbearers but against the rest of the Alethi army they're just as effective as Shardbearers would be against the Scadrians. Lightweavers are far from as effective as Kandra are, they need a constant supply of Stormlight, would almost certainly be detectable by experienced Seekers and are no where near as experienced as Kandra are in adopting to roles. Also, I seriously doubt TLR is in any way vulnerable to Shardblades, his healing outclasses Radiants in a big way and they can heal from Sharblade wounds. In fact he's so Invested I'm not even sure a Shardblade could sever his soul.

Yeah it's certainly at least partially Arsenal's fault but Deathwish's power only assigns damage based on cause, not fault. Like when he got Impact to stab him, it was way more his fault than hers but she was the one who actually pushed it in so she copped the damage.

Yeah I'll get a Serena post up shortly, other than that I think we're waiting on Nashan in the other carriage?

Era 1 would probably lose if TLR didn't get involved, Era 2 would probably still be able to win. Especially post-BoM.

Turtles! I may have missed the point of this game.

Are you insinuating that the Dark Alley isn't a magical place of sunshine? You'll be hearing from our lawyers about this! *Picks up phone and rapidly dials number before holding hushed conversation* Yeah, libel...totally...no sunshine...yeah ok but I mean legally... well I know we don't but we coul...what do you mean that's what dark means?... we can have it if we want!... that's it! You'll be hearing from our other lawyers as soon as other lawyers are hired! *Hangs up* Uh eventually. You'll hear from our lawyers eventually.

Yeah but Scadrial is much more experienced and effective at using Guerilla tactics, yes this situation tips things in Roshars favor but that's kind of the point. Any other situation ranges from Scadrial crushing them and sustaining very few casualties to TLR himself just slaughtering them all and then breaking the planet in half to remind them not to bother him again.

Well they don't really need to bond to it to use it, they lose the ability to resummon it if they don't but afaik the cutting power isn't altered in any way.

No complaints here, I've had to retcon some things before too.

No worries, I'm usually more than happy to be pressured into writing faster Just had a bit of RL stuff annoying me and stressing me out lately so not been my most productive week of all time.

I'm aiming for a double post with a Neverthere reaction in it too so I'm just aiming for some word back in PMs on how to proceed but I'll get on it asap.

Third answer: Shadesmar, somewhere in the ocean so that I don't immediately drown.

Well intangibles can wear clothes still so I assume they can take certain things with them

Where do I need to post atm? Might be a while before I actually feel like writing something but we've had some good momentum lately so I don't want to hold it up.
