Dang it. It's understandable, but a bummer. I have quite the number of characters myself and I get backlogged on them quite often. I haven't even started RPing in Edassa yet. Does that mean we won't get to see Jingleberry in action? As a side note, I just remembered about the Reckoners. I don't think there's much for Max to do or say yet, so Joe do you want to go next?

(I just want to make sure that my characters don't ruin the game and that we understand each other. I think I'm kinda arguing a bit of both those points. ) Not any other tribe. Only the most successful. The Imfu are very aggressive and their society is based on the military. They sometimes go out to war with other tribes, solely with the intention of wiping them out for no other reason than power and land gain. Tribes like the NaXéreteus(did I get that right?) are more reserved and don't actively seek war, at least from my point of view. Even then, I consider them to be one of the most powerful tribes we have here. Since the canon tribes are the ones that survived, I assumed that they were the ones who had the most power from destroying other tribes. Fusion Control is a canon power so that one will stay in. It takes a lot of effort to transform something, even more for living things, and the bigger they are, the more time and effort it takes. With there only being maybe 20(I haven't quite figured it out yet) people who can use this, and 400 people in the tribe, it doesn't give them a ton of advantage for resource purposes. I agree that it could, but the ones with these powers are the ones out at battle. The Imfu still need their farms and hunting.

I agree that something definitely happened, I just don't know why the focus is on Rioting.

Metacognition, on 23 Jan 2015 - 08:09 AM, said: From an RP standpoint, Lurching yourself would likely on,y kill you faster too. Why do you guys assume that the Rioter Rioted themselves? It's just as likely that the Rioter didn't get on in time or forgot or just didn't do it and Piff was Soothed.

I'm going to need to memorize that name. NaXéreteus. Okay. Is that based off of anything, like how the Imfu are based off of Zulu? Okay cool! I'm glad that works with what I was thinking.

I think Twi said something about Ozymandias, so I'd check with her first about that. And, since Kobold didn't mention it, there's another faction in the Dalles. Frequency, an Epic with powers to shatter things, used to be one of Koschei's lieutenants, but fled the city after Koschei's death. Being a true believer in Koschei's divinity, he came back to the Dalles to retake the city for his leader. He just called in three reinforcements, a speed Epic, a lightning one, and an earthmoving one. Finally, the final part of the second section of the Destructors in Connell is up now. Stay tuned for the finale.

So if I'm thinking about it right, the Moon tribe is just a little ways south of the Imfu, correct? And it was okay that there would be animosity between the two tribes, at least on the Imfu's part, correct?

Part 3 of the collabo post between Myself, Voidus, and Mail-mi. Mike jumped off the Escalade once his grenade launcher jammed with concrete. He threw the useless gun at a soldier and drew his shotgun. He fired off at every soldier he could. Some were killed, some were injured. The concrete around him suddenly began rising. Mike panicked and shot wildly at the Architect Epic. Concrete barriers blocked the shot and the next thing he knew, cement was all he could see. Wait. He saw, was it, he saw Calamity. The red dot in the sky seemed to grow larger and larger as it bathed Mike in its red light. He felt a change inside himself. He was angry. The puny Epic who had named himself Architect thought to imprison him? Fool. He would be destroyed. Mike, no, that wasn't his name any more, but it would do for now, shot out a wave of his new power, vaporizing the cement trapping him into dust. He saw the Architect and laughed, fury still strong in his eyes. "I am not to be an example. But you are," he yelled. Mike ran towards the Architect, vaporizing any concrete that was thrown at him. He dashed through the dust that piled up from the disintegrated concrete barriers. He used his strength to shove the Architect to the ground and vaporized Architect's clothes, leaving him naked on the concrete. Mike punched him with a fist surrounded by flames and then controlled the winds and used them to lift the Architect into the air. "This is your leader. He's pathetic." Mike used the winds to rotate the Architect's nude body before his troops. Concrete bits kept flying towards Mike, but he ignored them as they vaporized before they hit him. Mike saw something from the corner of his eye. Hawkwing. Now, Mike was Hawk's equal. If Hawk tried to interfere, Mike would take his place in the Destructors. Luckily for him, Hawkwing was staying out of the way, but like the others, staring at Mike in awe. --- "Jag? We have an issue here. It could be good or it could be bad," Hawkwing reported over the mobile to his old friend. "Mike, a commando, he was encased in concrete." "So? He can be replaced. Why are you bothering me with this? I'm almost to your location," Jag replied. Jag always was in a bad mood during an attack. Hawk felt it too, the anger and annoyance from using the powers, but they were so great; he and his comrades would destroy those who stood in their way. It was their destiny. "He's an Epic, Jag. He just burst out of the concrete and vaporized cement everywhere. He's got some wind manipulation powers too and his fists are flaming. He's about to kill our rival. We need to make sure he'll stick with us before we trust him. He's powerful!" Hawk fired down at a couple of the soldiers who were getting close to Mike. Jag responded with a terse statement that he'd be there soon. --- Mike used his power and vaporized the guns and armor and clothing of every enemy soldier one by one, the dust on the ground piling up with each one. They stood, fearful, waiting to die. Good. They were weak. Two bullets hit the ground and Mike saw that two soldiers had tried to approach him from behind. Hawk's shots had stopped them in their tracks. Mike grinned. He drew his pistol with flaming fists and, vaporizing their armor, shot them each in the chest twice. One managed to get a final shot off at Mike, but it vaporized an inch in front of him. The duo's lifeless bodies dropped to the cement covered ground. Mike vaporized both of them now that they were dead. The Architect was still hovering in midair. "Watch your soldiers die," Mike said. He vaporized the ground underneath the soldiers and lifted them up, one by one, and dropped them in the pit. The pit filled with dead bodies of nude soldier and dust. Mike left them there as a reminder for the rest of Connell about what he could, and would, do. Hundredeyes scanned through the town. They were being attacked on three sides, at least one Epic per side. And they were losing. He watched as a soldier vaporized the concrete that Architect had formed around him, then disintegrate the Architect’s clothing and kill each soldier like they were flies, and he a flyswatter. There was nothing he could do about that, however. So, he scanned through his hundreds of other eyes placed throughout the city, looking for something to warn the others about. He found it. A man, standing in front of a tank, his face covered in some sort of mechanical mask, heading towards one of the wing attacks. Hundredeyes recognized him as the man that had been waving his arms about like a flight director at the gates. He must have some sort of telekinetic ability, he thought. It doesn’t look like anyone is inside that tank. He radioed out to the others. “Epic, going through the southeastern section. Anybody got him?” No response. Hundredeyes sighed. “I guess this one’s mine.” He switched his vision back to his own and made his way out of the pre-Calamity prison. Maodun smiled at the blood dripping slowly from his spear. Looked like this was a close-quarters Epic, he probably had super-strength or something given his surprise at Maoduns lack of reaction towards his punch. He took a step towards the Epic, trying to press his advantage. Or at least he tried to, he was stopped short by an transparent wall, a light shimmer of blue crossed his vision.. Maodun frowned at the Epic. Forcefields? Telekinesis? No, Telekinesis wouldn’t work on me. Maodun grew increasingly angry at the wall. Nothing impedes me! Not anymore! With a smile Maodun remembered his spear, ignoring a crackle from his radio he gripped the spear and slammed it into the field. The tip slid into the field, for a moment Maodun was sure that as always his spear had managed to pierce this barrier. The field bent around the spear, and kept bending but it wouldn’t break. Maodun was still trapped. The spears that had never failed him, the spears that had once been thrown through three solid brick walls to spear a rival Epic. His spears had been stopped. “That’s not possible.” Maodun whispered, eyes growing wide. “Not! Possible!” He slammed his spear into the wall again and again, a slight ripple seemed to spread and each time the field bent, but it would not break, it would not yield before Maodun. “I am going to kill you Epic! I am going to pierce your eyes, stab your heart and burn your body!” He shifted the power to his hands. Dropping the spear in disgust, Maodun pushed steadily against the barrier, it yielded albeit slowly, forming around his hands as he exerted his full power against it. He slammed them into the barrier, deforming it around him as he strove to make his way towards the Epic who had so thwarted him.

That's actually a pretty cool way to do the map. So the Imfu are in the Northeast part of the dessert and there's a river running from the lake in the central north out to the east and it curves to the ocean. The Imfu live in that region. Also, Mr and Mrs. Voidus, if anything about the Imfu contradicts your canon or won't fit in this world, please let me know.

Well for a Chiskreven, it'd probably take six to eight priests to transform it.

This is a middling time right? So they'd have a decent amount of power. My character has not mastered it. There are priests more skilled than him, as you can see in my previous post in the Fusion Control section. He is skilled, but not masterful. The physical contact aspect also limits it enormously. From a distance, the only thing an Imfu can do to hurt you is throw a spear. In close combat, they may have the advantage, but they have to get closer first, and some of the tribes' powers would impede them greatly. (Moon tribe, desert tribe) I've added a stipulation to my Fusion Control section that will be added in the next update that says that living creatures are difficult to transform. It would take two priests for something as small as a rat and twenty for a human. So, while possible, it is very difficult and no one priest(without the god's help) could do it. Even a tree would take two priests. A bush could be changed by one though. Thanks for that correction. I misread four reincarnations as four lives. Can we get a simple map for this continent? Even if it's a joint effort, because of locations already claimed. For instance, I claimed that there is a river on the northwest of the continent and that the north is a desert, where the Imfu live. I think we should get a basic understanding of where each other's tribes are so that we don't get confused. Thanks!So will you be making a separate RP thread for the game then?

Sorry, I didn't see this before. Eh. You're partly correct. I trust you more than half, but not as much as some. Claincy I trust because he, like me, had many chances to screw over the village forever ago, but it didn't happen. I won't say I'm not wary of the possibility, I just don't think it's likely.

Well, I planned on Altermind sending Flashpoint to a weapons dealer after the MEE attack, so there's definitely one in town. The tests are definitely structured to fit Altermind's view of intelligence. There are some people in Portland who are very intelligent, but who would fail his tests.

Yeah, I'd say about a Gamma for him, maybe a high Delta depending on how well he does on the math/science and pattern part. Exactly what I thought. depending on his grader, that is likely to be the one thing that gets him in or the one thing that gets him an Iota. That'd be cool. Epic tech, a protector husky puppy, and a drive for revenge? Angel looks to be pretty badchull.

A bit of showing off with fire probably helped a bit too. Nathan would probably pass with a Gamma or so, I'd imagine. Remington is more iffy. I don't know how book-smart he is, but the practical parts would likely be filled with his solutions of shooting whatever the problem was. That might get the grader to laugh and let him in with a Delta.

He might just get a name drop as one of Altermind's more loyal citizens. I don't know if you guys noticed, but a user named Arsenal has posted in the Newcago Court recently and I assumed it was a new user. I happened to click on an older page of the Portland thread and I saw one of his posts there. I was confused, but then I realized it was Mat, from back in the Psy-Fi days. Not sure if he's joining back up, but he has been here a bit.

Well apparently, your headcanon is also my headcanon. Thus it must be real canon! Considering that the test only goes to Theta, Lambda's a pretty bad score. A two year old would probably score that on the adult test.

Frequency would've had powers that early as well as Hawkwing and Jag. And Altermind, as Kobold said. I quite liked that backstory though. It added more about the tests than I ever did. Altermind's half of the event should interest you guys quite a bit. I used them as names for the drop off point I believe. Or was that command posts/outposts in the Dalles? Both, I think. Maybe? I can't quite remember, but I liked it anyways. About the tests, for everyone, it would've begun with questions like the pattern one and had a section of math equations as well as some brain teasers and logic questions. There'd be a couple of ethical dilemmas and a free answer or two, where the applicant has to design a plan for something, both of these would be to test the applicant's originality, organization, imagination, as well as he intelligence behind their answers. The time it took would also be factored in, but as less than the actual correct answers count. Yeah, I liked that touch. Ringle is a very interesting character. Is his name the reference to Twi's fanfic? Only very rare cases of Epsilon get in, if you have Epic powers for instance, or you prove to be useful with your answers on the free response portion. Scorch would actually be more like a high Zeta, but the test graders were too scared so they fudged his scores a bit.

I thought that was when Steelheart took place and so this was two or three years before. Either way, yes, Big Al was kicked out of Thoughttown at first, but when he gained powers a hearing later, he came back to Thoughttown and joined the kitchen staff. Me too.

So that was only fiveish years before the RP right? Okay cool! If anyone is opposed, speak soon or forever hold your peace. I've written his introduction scene, without Firefight spoilers(but it will make a but more sense to those who've read it), and it isn't pretty. Fire fists will just make it cooler worse.

Well, I imagined the Sun, Fire, Life, and other canon tribes to be among the more powerful ones. Also, the fusion power is very limited in what it can do. I'll post below in more detail about it, but it takes a lot of practice and is still hard to use very much. Only a few Imfu ever even get that power. Both it and the heat power require physical contact as well, so they aren't quite as powerful as they seem. Yes, I plan to fix that in my next draft. Here is V2 of the Imfu: Expect more on their language, structure, and philosophies in the next draft. Ukubulala will also be more personally fleshed out.

Can you tell me when I said that Altermind set up Thoughttown? I can't quite remember and I'm not sure where I put it. Did you guys see my question about Desolation?

So, he sent the diplomat pig first and then waited to see if they would call a ceasefire and when they didn't, he sent in the jungle? I'm confused. Would anybody mind if I gave Desolation a minor fire ability too? I'm thinking flaming fists. Is that too OP?

I think There's just a few people waiting on Seonid and he's been busy lately.

I can't say I'm surprised much. The only thing that surprised me a bit was that I wasn't the one killed. Recco and I talked in a PM over the night cycle knowing that one of us was the likely target. He said his main suspicions were dowanx and Unodus. For now, I think I'm going to vote for dowanx. He seems the more suspicious of the two to me.
