18th Shard

I meant that heat is kinetic energy at a molecular level, so he sort of already absorbs kinetic energy, so it isn't a huge stretch that he could absorb it on a larger scale. I like the healing idea, but let's see what redbird wants. Phoenix's ashes are not essential to his reincarnation - they are just right where he died, and therefore right where he will reincarnate. If the ashes are scattered, nothing special happens - Phoenix just relights on fire (not sure how explosively) when he reincarnates, and like Firefight, has a greater ability right after his reincarnation. I was wondering if I wanted him to be angry or cautious, and whether he'd have to fight his way out. Edit: Voidus, did you like what Xanas was doing in the Parshendi War? "Ah, well, gotta write that epic eulogy for a flaming bird that Voidus killed."

How closely will you have people watching Phoenix's ashes? How... replaceable are they? Maybe add that he can absorb kinetic energy by touch (that is heat, after all) which isn't OP, but still adds to his power set. Also, maybe the energy can keep him alive, i.e. becomes oxygen, water, nutrients, body heat, etc., so he isn't killed when he absorbs all the heat around him like we're having with Converter.

Phoenix flared his flames as thousands of water bottles flew at him, steam scalding the vanillas standing nearby. Phoenix smirked. He burned much to hot to be put out by water, even that much water. He narrowed his eyes, trying to make out the mechanism that released the water, but the steam was in the way - was that a pole, or a crane? He heard a deafening crack, and spun to look at Rainmaker, looking for the lightning she had just created. Lightning didn't bother Phoenix - he'd already killed that weak electric Epic on his way to Corvallis, and --- pain clawed his side as bullets tore through him. Sudden warmth soaked his shirt, and he held his side, blood pouring over his hands. He screamed in agony, falling to the ground, and a second volley tore apart his torso. Phoenix gasped, his mind going dark. No, Not again, I need to... I.... His body sparked, then caught fire, ashes forming in seconds where his body had been. A wave of flame rolled out, singeing the ground in a perfect circle around him. Then the flames died, the ashes cooling on the charred ground.

Voidus, just for clarification, did Cornucopia fire yet? and Blaze, what were you thinking as far as Icyhot and Resistor's abilities/ their capture of Converter?

Thanks for the continuity notices. I added some solutions to Phoenix's attack in blue. To weigh in on Silver's issue, the heat Phoenix adds to the air might dissipate against the air shield, but keep Converter warm enough to not get hypothermia.

Phoenix's door burst open just as he was filling a glass with water. "You know you can't just kill anyone you want" a woman with long, black hair. "And I'm not in a good mood right now. There's rules in Corvallis. Don't think you can get away with murdering anyone before I'll catch you. And don't try that heat thing on me. I'll be back in a different body and I don't think you want to be seen as trying to murder a Queen in front of Rainmaker." How dare she! If she knows who I am, she should know a High Epic deserves respect. Telling me what to do, the audacity, the nerve - keep calm, keep back the fire, don't - His self-control broke, his hands igniting. Phoenix looked over the woman, thinking back to the information he'd memorized. Unimportant body.... 'Different body' and 'Queen' ... Chase, the Queen who could use vanillas as hosts. Weakling, using vanillas. He turned toward her, holding the metal glass he'd been drinking from. "I can't kill anyone I want, can I? Why not? They aren't worth anything. These vanillas, they exist to be killed. As for your rules, I am above them. I have deigned to obey them insofar as they serve my purposes, but they do not bind me. I will kill whom I will. But don't worry; I won't kill you yet." He held the glass in his hand and it turned red-hot in his grip, matching the fury he felt at the intruder. He held the glass for a few seconds until it began to deform under his fingers, then threw the molten metal at the vanilla Chase was inhabiting, the vanilla's skin burning. He smirked. "I have something much worse in mind for you." He held out a hand and a sphere of fire engulfed the vanilla, slowly closing in. "I will leave you to watch your city burn, then kill you." He closed the sphere, destroying the vanilla. He stepped out the hole where his door had been, striding toward the sports field. I will burn this city. He thought of the Epic fighting Rainmaker in the field. She will assist me. We can make this city burn to the ground. Phoenix strode forward, hands held out. Flames flared around him in the shape of a Phoenix, wings spreading into firey waves. He strode at a building, the heat melting the glass and steel in a circle around him. He strode through the building, flames rippling throughout, vanillas screaming and dying. He held out a hand as he walked out, grabbing a support beam, melting through it like a hot knife through butter. The building groaned as it crumbled down behind him. He walked into the field, flames devouring the grass, smoke floating toward the sky. He yelled at the struggling Epics. "Your city will fall, Rainmaker! May it burn as a beacon of terror for Epics everywhere!" He lobbed a ball of fire at Rainmaker, though the winds surrounding Converter battered it away. He extinguished his flames, then held out his hands toward Converter, a beam of white-hot fire shooting toward the Epic.

Dalinar, being a Bondsmith, used the Surge of Cohesion on the Highprinces around him to get them to listen to him, but Sadeas used Division and tried to break the kingdom and divide this alliance. Sadeas made a lot of political friction between himself and Dalinar, and this caused a lot of Tension. (This is a complete joke. )

I realized that too. I told one of my friends, and he said it reminded him of that scene in the first Avengers where Thor blasts Iron Man with lightning, and Jarvis says " Power at 400% capacitry" Yeah, my first game I died when I went camping over the weekend and wasn't in internet access (and it was really annoying, because I was killed by a 2 vote lead and I had Feruchemical duralumin ) and the second time pretty much the same thing happened, but I heired my spanreed to Meta, so I obviously am the reason that game was won.

In Corvallis, could you have Chase or one of Rainmaker's allies check out Phoenix and find out he's an Epic? Silver Dragon and I are going to have him snap through his restraints and help Converter, but it would be easier if he snaps at Rainmaker or her proxy and then goes to help Converter to get back, as his character would really try to hold back his Corruption. Edit: Chase having tagged someone nearby or the man he killed and alerting security would work great.

The Phoenix watched the screaming humans run away from the town square, the worthless creatures fleeing like animals. The Epics who fought nearby were fools, too. Everything has energy, Rainmaker. Even hail. Drop something on her and she can absorb its energy. If she waves her arms fast enough, she has energy. Besides, the first Epic, the bestial one, had fled. Phoenix sat watching the Queens struggle for a while, then headed back toward the lair he had chosen in the city. A human bumped into him, muttering an apology in his hurry to escape. He dares! ... Remain inconspicuous. Calm. Oh, what the heck. One dead human doesn't matter. Phoenix called out to the pest, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" The man turned, his face showing pure fear, his mistake realized. Phoenix walked closer, smoke floating towards the sky from his clothes. He grabbed the man by the throat and dragged him into a nearby building. The man struggled, his puny arms waving as he tried to free himself. "You don't touch a High Epic, understand?" The man nodded, eyes darting toward the door. Phoenix sighed. "You aren't leaving. I just wanted you to understand before you died." He reached forward, grabbing the man's head, fingers glowing red-hot. The man's head melted away before the heat, drooping toward the ground. Phoenix held himself in check; he wasn't going to detonate the building, he was only going to immolate the body. He strode out of the abandoned building, humming to himself. Any day I both used my powers and wasn't caught is a good day in my book, he thought, smiling like a child escaping his wrongdoings. He walked back into the "rented" house - Joseph Johnson wouldn't be returning from vacation anytime soon, and Phoenix needed a low profile place to stay.

And... unfollowing topic - 231 notifications . Seriously guys, you are very quick responders here.

Got it. I had to copy and paste, not use the picture tool.

Thanks. I noticed many people put images before the character's post, so here we are. It's not letting me put it in as an image.

Well, the DA can always use more spikes I would like a run-down on locations, yes. I read through Astoria (your Adventurer character is great, Voidus), but I haven't looked through the others. Also, how are the threads planned/ are they planned?

The okra was in something the cafeteria served. I would say there was not a big lawsuit, but his parents were extremely overprotective from then on, checking his lunchbox, checking all his foods at parties or school functions, and did give a lot of complaints to the administration, which made the teachers then (intentionally or not) take out their frustration on him. He played sports before, but stopped after being constantly bullied by the other players. Moved to Oregon where okra is uncommon because of this. Epic Evil Trait: Extreme Paranoia - Will not eat food he did not prepare.

Maybe he had it at school, almost died, was out of school for a week or two, and was made fun of the rest of the year, with people bringing okra to school to mess with him. His family eventually switched schools because a second reaction was caused by someone slipping okra into his lunch - the perpetrator was never caught. Edit: Sorry, misunderstood the quote.

Should Phoenix be reborn at 25 each time, or at the age he was when he died? I like the former due to a) functional immortality and b ) it relates to the mythological phoenix being reborn each time as a baby - Phoenix is going back to his 'infancy' as an Epic.

1. About a day - he's still weak after reincarnation, though. Physically he's healed, but mentally, he just was killed, so he still feels some pain. 2. Not far - his flame manipulation is pretty basic. I would say with all his concentration maybe 30 feet - they could be pretty intense flames, but control and range are not his strong suits. 3. Correct. In real life, I cannot stand okra. It belongs on Patji. In world, I would say he's is allergic to it, and had several really bad reactions in elementary school. Edit: It does not belong on Patji - I would never wish such a fate on someone else. I would rather step on a Lego.

I want to add an Epic; however, I am kind of confused as to where exactly it should go, how I should introduce him, etc. Anyway... The Phoenix Abilities: Reincarnation - much like the Phoenix of mythology, this Epic catches fire when killed, burning to ashes. He is reborn at the same age he was at his Rending, 25 - memories intact, reborn to the moment of the Phoenix's birth (having him reborn as a baby was way to boring). Basic Flame Creation and Manipulation - Standard Fire Epic - Can create large bursts of Flame and direct the general direction it is burning - no swords of fire or fancy fireworks. So, 'fire, go left.' 'left-forward' 'up' etc. Cleansing Fire - can 'burn' out impurities such as disease and poison. General Fire, Heat Immunity - will not accidentally light himself on fire. ​Weakness: Okra - Doesn't burn and if he eats it, his abilities are neutralized.

Not to mention the delayed Aon Tia that teleports them back after 3 hours. And the Hemalurgic Rail guns. Oh, by the way, can we spike a planet with rods form god? (Google them)
