Ah, excellent idea, just noticed that Edge got a Baxter post up so it would be good timing I guess. On that topic, nice post Edge! If MV follows in her sisters footsteps and accidentally goes homicidal then Baxter is with Autumn at the top of her 'try not to murder' list.

It didn't auto-save? Mine usually do and then you can restore them, though sometimes you need to refresh to get it to work. Also, random Collaborate post up because I felt like writing, is anybody waiting on any of my characters?

Collaborate grinned at the power he felt surging through him, more power than he'd felt in a long time, perhaps more than he'd ever held. Ever since he'd become an Epic he'd become isolated, only ever followed by a few people he had to pay, it had become frustrating, knowing deep down that he had this power within him, but the stupid Vanillas refusal to follow him like they should had resulted in him being little more than just another Vanilla, some of the more powerful Epics in Portland had hired him for a job from time to time, allowing him some of their own followers. Every time had been intoxicating, feeling that power flowing through his muscles, but then the job had been done, the Epics left him on his own again. But not anymore. Now he had even lowered himself to the level of the cities minor Epics, but through that he had gained greater strength than ever. Now it was time to show these High Epics that he was worthy of far more than their pity and their leftover followers, he was equal to any of them, even the legendary Corpsemaker who could kill with nothing but a stare. He'd had to leave behind the MEE's scout but he still had plenty of followers, both Epic and Vanilla, enough to showcase some of his potential. With a smile he approached the outer walls of Corpsemakers Dominion, street light in one arm he sauntered up to the wall, setting his giant makeshift club on the ground and shattering its bulb he calmly looked at the wall for a moment. Then he smiled. With one punch his fist blasted straight through the brick. His arm now buried shoulder-deep in the wall, Collaborate ripped it back out before pummeling the wall with his other hand, spraying the other side with fragments of mortar. A short time later he'd created a man-sized hole in the wall large enough to fit through. Sidestep steeped into view from the other side of the wall, apparently having passed right through it just to show he could. Somehow I don't even care, nothing could bother me now. Collaborate thought, blood boiling. "Brothers!" He called out, gravelly voice reaching the ears of his fellow Epics and his own Vanilla soldiers. "Sisters! I may not be particularly charming. But you follow me now because we don't need charming snakes like that Lightwards, tricking Epics into following him, we don't need sneaky illusionists like Altermind. We don't even need the basilisk known as Corpsemaker. We don't need anyone above us! You follow me now because you know that all Epics are equal, there is no 'High' or 'lesser' we are all great, now let us walk as gods among men and do what we were put here to do. Let us destroy!" So saying he leaped through the hole he'd created and into the Dominion.

I am both amused and terrified. Protect the pugs!

In case you didn't see it. Yeah I'm not sure what was up with Prof and Regalia's group, but given that Regalia quite obviously expected David to immediately go on a rending, even after telling him her plan I don't think it's dependant upon choosing to use your powers since David could have held off his rending in that situation. On Euphoria I'd picture her Rending consisting of just blasting people with so much happiness they just kindof stood there as she murdered them.

On weaknesses:

"I don't just want to kill Lightwards, I want to kill everyone." "What do you mean everyone?"

We know from Prof that they can feel positive emotions but since David who's been watching Epics for most of his life was surprised and has clearly never even heard of another nice Epic it's certainly not remotely common, Regalia and Oblit show respect to someone who's killed one of the strongest Epics in the country that's not really a positive thing, just acknowledgement of someone who's dangerous. Lorists with a lot of effort were able to discover Steelhearts identity but without using Epic names and such literally anyone could have found it within about 1 minute when google was still around and even after it wouldn't have taken much. It would certainly be a necessary measure for most Epics, although I think it's also a symptom of the ego that Epics have, no longer seeing themselves as regular humans they don't have regular names.

It could be that he's targeting Epics who rule over other Epics.

Just a thought, I don't think it's particularly likely but it's an idea: What if Obliterations weakness is being blind? He's not completely blind without his glasses but it's enough to lower his abilities somewhat, perhaps reducing his danger sense or reduce his teleporting abilities to what they were pre-upgrade. I thought briefly that it might have actually been how he got his powers increased, Calamity just told him to get a better prescription and that increased his powers to what they were supposed to be. Not particularly likely but, still more likely than my elbow-eating Epic

I'm kind of in agreement here, a better solution would just be permanently robbing the air touching her skin of kinetic energy during a fight, it would also prevent her from moving but that makes it more interesting IMO, it provides limitations and requires active concentration. Danger sense already raises enough issues with its link to precognition, not knowing exactly how and when danger sense activates and such Well as long as it was funny.

Will Rainmaker be expecting Cornucopia to show up to the meeting? Just because if she's in the Arboretum it may take a while for her to arrive.

So apparently I made an Epic who can eat his own elbows... One of us, one of us! Given her existing hatred for Reader and Epics in general I can only see that conversation ending one way.

Yeah, Koschei was definitely not involved in that event. For those interested: (Warning: Somewhat dark)

Does anyone have any ideas for weakness for my chicken-elbow-eating Epic?

Which is itself still not even in the top 10 weirdest things in WHIO

Also they need to know ju jitsu.

Scribbler's weakness is now definitely being decapitated by someone with a stump leg.

Are you sure about that? Given that last time I had pizza I nearly ate my own elbow?

Why do you guys sound like that evil guy on my shoulder who always tells me it's fine to eat an entire pizza at 3am?

I'm probably not in the best writing mindset right now, hillarious though it may be So yeah you go first and I'll try to get something up when I'm less likely to write Scribbler turning the clinic into a disco.

Tombstone quote? 'Here lies Kobold, he would not eat Nighthounds chicken-elbows.'

Steelheart's Tywin, David's Tyrion, Megan is Arya I guess?
