It would be a rather depressing thread if stories of Atrophy abounded with no pugs or ponies around to offset the slontzeyness.
-
I was going to suggest distributing ARC's of Edgerunners biography of Remington
-
That if people are swooning over him it's empirical proof that this pony is not Lightwards?
-
A good start but I'd prefer to have an ocean in between them if at all possible. Or just kill Nighthound. Actually, that's not optional, we're killing Nighthound regardless.
-
Now the real question. How are we going to make sure Atrophy never comes into contact with Nighthound? Or any of the trifecta for that matter.
-
If it's still based on the original design I guess I can answer this (Also because I love ironing out powers and Edgedancer has enabled that aspect of my ocd since day one ) I actually have no idea I just thought it sounded like a reasonable distance but some really quick calculations would put it at around 70 meters. He'd need at the least to have a mental image of the person, to direct the power correctly but it doesn't need to be perfectly accurate. I set it at about a minute of close contact (Within arms reach), The Bondee would start to have trouble moving at about 10 meters and at twenty meters they'd be unable to walk. The Epics question I left to be setting-dependent.

I feel like someone called the Conditioner should also have the longest, silkiest hair in all of Oregon even if it's in no way related to his powers
-
Yay! That means I get to replace him with a new random Epic in my UFA list Hmmm... maybe something with airconditioners? I'll work on it.

Pretty much, feel free to alter or add secondaries as necessary. His full profile from my doc as it stands now is:

Lil but yeah Oh I still have legions of useless Epics too this is just the one I felt like writing today, on a side note other than Metronome these characters are all up for adoption if anyone wants to claim one. Rest assured tomorrows entry will be someone more like one of these: Inverted: Can see the world upside down. Analog: Can turn digital clocks into analog clocks Frank the glass guy: Can make glass invisible. (Wasn't cool enough to get an Epic name) Dairy Queen: Can turn margarine into butter. But I did put in a little cameo reference to one of the first Epics I ever made: Pappadamus: Can divine the future through the shape of papadums.
-
Maybe but it's not really sharp, I'm not sure what kind of effect using a blunt edge would have on a Sprenweapon. I stand by my suggestion of a ShardBola instead.

Evolution explains everything that it's supposed to, it's a theory for the origin of lifes diversity, it's not supposed to deal with where matter came from or how life first arose. That evolution doesn't explain those is no more relevant than that gravitational theory doesn't explain them either. Now from a secular point of view those theories as a whole make up the generally accepted secular explanation for the origin of the universe, life and us so they are often grouped together as though they were supposed to be one theory but the scientists who study evolution are not the same scientists who study the big bang, there's no atheistic collaboration institute trying to tie them all together.

I wouldn't even say that the commandment part comes into it a lot of the time, I understand the theoretical motivation but as someone who gets preached to a lot and someone who's discussing religion online a lot too the theoretical motivation is sometimes belied by the actual practice. Very rarely does someone start with a few gentle points about why they believe what they believe and what it is that convinced them. Almost universally it's "Look at this website/article/magazine/video! See! You're all idiotic idiots for stupidly believing in science and god is going to burn you forever!" Now I recognize that this is while a majority of the people who actively preach, a minority among christians as a whole but the point is still that the motivations are almost always less pure than they are said to be. This is not even going into how condescending the whole process is, regardless of what you think you're saving us from you have to acknowledge that a) Almost everyone on the planet knows the christian doctrine of hell and that that's where you think we'll be going. b)we've actually considered your religion based on its merits ourselves and even that fear of torment was not convincing c) You're assuming that we want what you have to offer. The third point is perhaps the most important and Chaos touched on it a while ago. If you offered me eternal life, I would refuse you. I don't care if it's heaven, hell, purgatory, valhalla or wondering Hades as a shade I don't want an eternal afterlife. And assuming that you know what's good for me more than I do is incredibly condescending and insulting and far less likely to make me want to listen to what you have to say. I'm going to leave the above points on evolution vs creation 'science' alone, but I will quickly correct something that I've been suspecting would appear at some point.

I'm inclined to think this is the correct interpretation, Calamity has claimed him but not yet as an Epic. EDIT: Yep. He heals from pretty much being dead.
-
That was closer to Metronomes original character design, he was supposed to have enhanced calculation abilities, sort of like Aldo's borderline precog abilities, he wasn't supposed to be majorly powerful but certainly more so than just 'the time is now 6:53' but then I posted it for the purposes of a joke and the Metronome we all know and love was born.
-
Given that what would appear to be Cultivationspren are involved in some orders of Surgebinders I'd say that's more of a mix of the two, ditto with fabrials since spren can be Splinters of Honour or Cultivation or a bit of a mix IIRC.
-
Metronome has no equal, I couldn't even work up the courage to try
-
I should interject that his power used to only work on automatic doors but I tweaked it a bit when I decided I felt more like writing an Epic who just enjoyed casually showing off with their slightly-useful powers rather than another 'woe is me, my powers suck' Epic like the Amputee

The answer is quite obviously: Salt. Those who are old and prolific enough to get the reference, I love you guys. Everyone else: I love you guys too but I'm not going to elaborate. -
He regenerated his entire head after it was crushed so I doubt simple explosives would do the trick.

For me the only thing that ever actively annoys me about religion is the constant promotion, I might defend atheism and atheists but I've never gone up to someone I know to be religious and tried to convince them they were wrong, I don't put the label of 'atheist' on everthing I do and say things like 'I'm just trying to be a good atheist'. The constant need to have a baptist charity, a catholic fundraiser or a lutheran orphanage just completely baffles me. If an atheist came doorknocking and said they'd like to start an atheist orphanage where they taught children from birth all about evolution and the big bang and how religion is wrong I'd probably smack that person in the face before slamming my door on them. If the charity I was donating to told me they'd be going on a mission to spread Darwins on the origin of species to children in africa I'd probably withdraw all support for the charity, I'd just prefer a charity that just send food, clothing and shelter. Don't get me wrong I think that things like the missions that LDS go on are great things and I know one of my friends had a great experience in it, I just wish it was less attached to religious beliefs. I don't understand the need to define your whole life by your religious beliefs though (Excuse the phrase) god knows I've been in that position before.
