Here's a place to post the profiles of all the epics we come up with for Oregon, I think it'd be easiest if everyone just made one post and then updated it with any new ideas, long bios should go in spoiler tags to keep things short. Google Doc for Epic Ideas Master list of current characters: (Work in progress): The Dominion: Empire of Light Thought Town Team Funacid Minor Epic Empire Portland Neutrals Astoria Epics: Epics of the Dalles:

I'm just going to edit that post from time to time when I think up anything new, let me know if you want any in particular and I'll mark it.

We need to just have a massive list of minor Epics for people to choose from for random encounters. Decay: Increases the entropy of anything non-living that he touches ie: Rots wood instantly, metal rusts, building collapse. Spitfire: Poison spitting, (Possibly with the option of changing what the poison does, from paralysis to lethal) Impact: Provides momentum to objects he touches. Refill: Can top up any drink he touches indefinitely (Combined with Big Al they are team heartattack! ) Voidknight: Can create vacuums pulling everyone in an area into one point, wears full armour and uses a sword to make use of the clustered enemies. Sentinel: Can turn himself into a stone statue, retains all his senses as a statue and uses it for recon purposes, or to withstand attack. Yeah I think we're long overdue to hear from Lightwards

"Wakey wakey!" Ugh, what had happened? Sparking voice, this was the third time he'd been knocked out today! A lesser Epic would have been killed by it probably. Sorry about that, needed to defuse some tension but it looks like you're still not used to the idea of swapping control like that. The Voice said. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking rapidly, he was still in the alley, glittery hair hanging over him he looked up to see the crazy glittery Epic looking more like her usual self than the last time he'd seen her. Not threatening to set anyone on fire at least, although that was somewhat expected behaviour from Epics, he wouldn't admit it but her enthusiastic insanity put him at much more of an edge than her former outburst of violence had. It was unexpected, he still wasn't sure how to react to her. "What happened? How long was I out? Where's Lightwards?" He asked in rapid succession as he slowly got to his feet, head pounding. She skipped back as he found his footing and seemed about to say something when he saw something in the air moving at speed out of the corner of his eyes, the shadow Epic? Without thinking he whirled around, looking for anything he could use as a weapon although he wasn't sure how useful it would be, but then he realized that it was just a vulture, although flying with uncharacteristic speed and direction. Any ideas what that is? He thought to his Voice. No, but I can guess, we need to find Lightwards.

http://ponyvspony.artix.com/ I was going through all my old browser games and Artix now has an MLP game. Enjoy!

Kobold what did you want Lightwards to do while PP was talking with Funtimes? Is he still nearby?

Seems like a good idea to me

Well I was just about to write PP regaining consciousness (Poor guys been knocked out 3 times today) and they're nearby but I think we need some kind of loud noise so we can find each other, any ideas?

Woo! Yes RWBY is pretty awesome. I'm on another Mirrai Nikki re watch at the moment, still one of my favourite anime.

Welcome to the dark alley forums. Would you like a cookie?

Nor me

Oh right, sorry thought that was directed towards Toymaker for some reason :S You've basically seen what he has to offer, the belt which can deflect metal based projectiles and the gloves for destabilizing things. Everything else he carries is pretty mundane, some engineering tools, pocket of pebbles, and his various personalities

Why has no one mentioned Ati in any of these jokes? Because he'd Ruin them.

Why do they keep posting in the subforums I subscribe to!? I keep getting 20 messages about it. Grrrr.

No one take any notice of the fact that I'm also Australian.

Greeting new Sharder! We might not have pie but how would you like a cookie! Guaranteed to cause slightly less than lethal harm in 1% of cases!

No you can't, nobody can, the Epic ponies shall rule 17th shard FOREVER!! Mwahahahaha.

I really want to see a fight between the Toymaker and Funtimes XD Let the insanity go forth! (Also let the inevitable shipping commence)

The glittering one leaned in to whisper to him, holding her lighter against his neck as she did so. Unbidden an image of Lightwards, soaked in gasoline came to his mind, how did you defeat someone who could turn the entire world against you? He tensed up, ready to try to fight anyway. "You're smart and nice. Like the other guy." she whispered "Is he smart like you?" Ah, they were just doing damage control. "No, I need to know what he knows so I can protect him, he doesn't need to know what I do though, so don't worry about it getting out, he doesn't know and I don't talk to people often. All I want is to keep him safe, as long as you're not a threat to him I won't tell a soul. Including mine." he said with a chuckle. "In fact I wanted to offer you something in way of a peace offering." He said, reaching into yet another of his many pockets and pulling out a small metal disc with a loop of wire attached. "This was something our team was working on before the lab was destroyed, projects a kind of kinetically activated magnetic field, got it from studying an Epic. Anything metal that comes towards it at high enough speeds should be deflected, if it's not too heavy. Should stop most bullets, arrows, shrapnel. It needs a rather specialized power pack to run but given the tanks I saw last night I'm sure that won't be a problem." he said handing it over to the woman. "If he's going to pretend to be an Epic he needs to be able to look invincible on his own every now and then. We'd better get back to the others soon or they'll start to get suspicious, hopefully they'll just think we're allying in case they attack, should make them a bit more wary. If you need to talk to me again just ask Phoenix, he's a good sort for the most part, just a bit taken away with the role he plays. Anyway, I can hear what he hears so just ask for me and I'll try to get back. Stay safe." He finished, and then promptly collapsed, retreating into his consciousness.

No worries, I guess we both had the same idea to make sure no one else read it

I did blow that piece of paper up in my bit Twi, shall I just edit it out?

Well PP is two people, so technically 2/3rds of the team became untrustworthy ;P

No problem, retconning secret notes ftw!

"But he knew a great deal about Phoenix—you—both of you." Sparks! An Epic with a grudge against Phoenix that was all he needed. Wait a second. "Both of us? You mean he knew about our..." He paused checking behind him "situation? That's not possible, no one knows about that except for you now, everyone else from the lab was killed." But looking back he could tell that these two were not surprised to hear his secret, they seemed almost to have been expecting it, so they must have been told. But who? Who could possibly? Another sharp pain in the back of his head stopped his internal inquiry. Sparking Phoenix, jumping out of buildings, never thinking of consequences. "As for why I trusted you, you seem to be the most stable of the group, I don't know how you resisted the urges that Epics experience but I do trust you. Well, there's also something else" He handed the man piece of crumpled up paper from his pocket over, the piece where he'd scribbled on the back in the museum just in case. 'You never teleport without her, and you remind me of myself in the early days' it read. He smiled as the two read it. "I don't think you particularly want to draw attention to my situation right now." he said. Taking the page back, he charged it and threw it to the side where it vanished in a small puff of purple. "I think working together is in our best interests."

Sorry guys, now I'm having laptop trouble. Twi, would you mind if the protector took a guess at Nathans secret? I figured that since he has experience impersonating an epic he might be able to guess.
