This means war! No cookies for you! (Hemalurgic experiments are nothing if unpredictable)
-
I thought about them collaborating with the Knighthawk foundry given their experience with Epic tech but since we know almost nothing about them I thought it'd be better not to write anything about them.
-
That's why I pointed out it was built to be self-sufficient, parts for maintenance were supplied at the onset. They have a geothermal power source for the lab so they don't need to scavenge for fuel much. Their time after they lost government support was mostly devoted to finding a renewable source of food that wouldn't give away their position, which they did eventually manage. When I was researching for it I found some really cool stuff on hydroponic farms, which almost led me to think they'd use biofuels for the generators but I think geothermal's way more likely. Given the choice between an apocalyptic wasteland full of superbeings trying to kill you, a complete lack of stable infrastructure almost everywhere and despotic warlords or a safe military base with food, power, state of the art weapons and technology and some of the most experienced researchers of Epics in the world I think almost all sane people would choose the second option regardless of whether or not they were being payed. Rare earth metals are a bit of a problem but they would have obtained a fairly enormous quantity at the onset of their research. I actually think I had one of their research subjects being a Metallurgist Epic but I'll have to check my notes.

It wouldn't be useful against nuclear warheads either, doesn't mean governments now days wouldn't pay billions for tech like that. Just because it's not universally useful against all Epics doesn't meant governments wouldn't still fork out huge amounts for things like that. Well they already had all the equipment, they only needed to scavenge for raw materials and food and such, which is certainly possible.
-
Most Epics still use weapons of some kind, sure it wouldn't help against Epics like Regalia or Steelheart but the government gave up fighting them pretty quickly. The increase in stopping power would help quite a bit too I imagine. No not trading, providing their own energy, scavenging for supplies, etc.
-
The Dark Alley would like to point out that hypothetically if there were a forum wide group dedicated to Hemalurgic experimentation and the expansion of their power base it would be incredibly difficult to put an end to anything they were doing. All just hypothetical of course.
-
Given that the outcome was a bulletproof shield I'd think the government would consider it a worthwhile expenditure. After the capitulation act they didn't have much to do with the government, they were largely self-reliant. Which is also why their research slowed down quite a bit and it took them so long to complete their research.
-
Yes he will They'll be migrating out from the desert in search of richer lands to try to cultivate and feed their growing tribe. I think so, yes. It would vary from god to god, some would quite enjoy communication others would be more reclusive. Also depends on the person, first and second generationers wouldn't find it easy.
-
Well given that WoB we got we know there's something weird going on with Nightwielder, UV light might not be related to his fears.
-
PP was part of a large, already established team of scientists, maintenance staff, lab techs and engineers working specifically on making that tech for most of their careers. And they had access to a facility which had been specifically built for them to function independently. Panda's suggestion was that 1 biologist (Which is a hugely broad field) managed by himself to run a functioning cloning facility large enough to produce an army.
-
When I wrote that I wrote that he had a few of the magnetic field things. The miscellaneous stuff is in various stages of functionality, he basically just kept whatever he could find. The energy-gloves are in the best state of functionality and the most powerful form of technology. The rest was picked up from minor Epics, things like a water dowser, some gloves that can weaken stone (Basically a far weaker form of tensor that only works on stone and the stone still needs to be scooped out) The Protector grabbed the tech when he emerged, PP didn't know about it or consider any of them his powers.
-
A kind of magnetic force-field projector, and some other miscellaneous currently not shown stuff.
-
Yeah sure, feel free to change his name, I think I have changed it on the doc to Ozymandias but yeah I'm not fussed by changes/new powers/whatever.
-
It's possible but they would have been pretty strict with making sure no one smuggled any out for anything, PP is probably going to be getting rid of some of his tech now that he's openly using his powers, I might write in something about them interfering with his powers. I was thinking he'd give them to Funtimes for her Vanillas but we could try to work something out with Angel. What kind of Epic were you interested in Twi?
-
Given the sheer quantity of my Epics I choose to believe they're already in everyone's backstory
-
I agree in the sense that Nighthound needs Obliteration, I disagree that that need be the Epic called Obliteration.
-
Nope, like Nighthound Obliteration is forbidden from being shipped with anyone.
-
Well the moon tribe would know about pretty much everyone's plots so they're good wherever we set it. I think the medicine/Pestilence set up should work, and obviously people can have multiple characters in different tribes. There's also the possibility of just running two main stories in parallel and maybe they'll affect each other later, maybe not. Finally we could cheat and create an object, tribe or area of great value somewhere and have all our tribes arriving to take possession of it.
-
We did the best we could with the Chronology, Elantris is the one we're still not sure where it exactly fits in and it has been changed a bit already so it's definitely not fixed even when we do have a reasonably solid WoB.
-
<Just realized that Steelheart is an anagram of 'Three Tales'
-
They were on different continents I think, but yeah they would have had a fair bit of animosity.
-
After many days of discussion the lorists decided not to reveal the fact that Backtrack was ultimately responsible for Steelhearts death. This was partly to avoid the embarrassment but mostly because Backtrack, scared of the Epics that had been chasing after the Steelslayer had spent 5 days begging them.
-
And then Fortuity died?
-
Plus food for an army of that size, even if he can instantly grow it that's going to be a lot of work, and extremely noticeable.
-
What's the correct tense for a possible future meeting in the past of someone who can see the future talking to someone in the present who can see the past?... I think we may have just exploded all of the logic.
