Fatebreaker

Oh, whoops. I thought broken meant crazy, or not right in the head. He can't teleport people into objects, so that is a limiting factor, as well as what Voidius mentioned.

Oh, Sandman is definitely broken. You'll see eventually. And just because they initially join the empire doesn't mean they'll remain there.

maybe Fade is just equally inventive. ...or maybe I haven't read Steelheart in a while. Nice catch, thanks for reminding me. Edit: Fixed

Fair point. Consider it eliminated.

"The Dino-Epic? I have not heard of anyone called that. I would now advise you to speak up and explain why you felt the need to sneak up on me, and say why quickly." Black felt the rage rise within him. This epic had threatened Max. She would regret that very quickly. However he kept his rage in check and instead analyzed his opponent. The white orb seemed to be healing related and he assumed the black orb she held now was destructive. She was just healing, so she probably wasn't invulnerable. Now if he could get Max to remember his training this wouldn't... "Ooh. temper, temper. You should work on that. So you're not Lightwards? Bummer." I'm going to kill that boy. "Maximillian! Walk over here now." Black's voice was deep and gravely, and sounded anything but amused.

They had been walking for a while when The Sandman noticed the rats. There were hordes of them, running from something. Sandman looked up at his grandfather with a mischievous grin, "It's an Epic! Maybe he works for the dino guy let's go see!" He tore off down the street following the rats. Black sighed. Haste was a good way to get killed. He had trained the boy better than this. He followed at a brisk pace, rounding the corner a moment after his grandson. The boy was staring at the ruble of a house which was over run by swarming rats. They were fleeing a female Epic, who was standing above the wreckage. She did not appear to be in a good mood.A white sphere was shrinking in her hand as she healed from wounds that she appeared to have suffered recently. probably during the battle that had leveled the house. It was probably best to leave quietly and try to avoid... "Hey, you! Are you the Dino-Epic?" Great. So much for the elements of stealth or surprise. The boy would be receiving much more training after this. Much more.

Alright, let's go with Rats. That sounds Like something Sandman would want to check out.

Any suggestions on which group Fade and Sandman should run into first? I don't want to interrupt any current plans.

One? Try three or more.

(Well, here I go. Time to take the plunge...) An old man dressed in a black suit with a tall top hat walked down the street, a kid in a black hoodie walking next to him. His cold, hard eyes swept the street as the kid whistled an old tune. They slowed to a stop and the kid took in his surroundings. "So this is Portland. Kind of a dreary place, wouldn't you say Pops?" He looked up to his grandfather, who merely continued surveying the area. Max jabbered on,"According to that guy I Met, there's been a ton of Epic activity. Lots of faction war stuff, alliances and that sort of thing. Are we gonna join a faction Pops?" "Don't know. Doubt it. It's asking for trouble, choosing sides. Epics are petty and you can't trust 'em," He scowled at the street, "any of them." Max laughed, "But Pops, we're Epics. Besides, according to my Meeting one of them can make dinosaurs come back to life! How awesome is that?! I'd even say it," he giggled hysterically, "epic." he collapsed in a fit of laughter at his pun, admiring his wit. The Old man's scowl softened, albeit imperceptibly, as he looked at his grandson. Then he looked to the floating building in the sky. There were powerful Epics here. But he knew how to deal with Epics. His years spent in gangs had taught him much. Give a man some power, be that a gun or the ability to shoot lasers from his eyes, and it went straight to their head. They often became both overconfident and insecure, making it not difficult to predict their actions and decisions. He could use them, "join" one to gain a little more protection for Max. He would watch his step, but the others had better do the same. He reached down and lifted his grandson to his feet. "Alright, we'll see about some dinosaurs then. But keep your eyes open and your wits about you." Max grinned and gave his grandfather a salute' "Sure thing Pops!' Then he turned and headed off down the street. "Let's go see Portland!"

Portland Epics Dalles Epics Calamityville Epics

They aren't super effective healing factors, just slightly more accelerated than a humans. A wound that was fatal to a human would be fatal to them as well, but they have a slightly better chance of surviving if-y wounds.

wow, this feels just like the introduction threads, except that no one's offered me baked goods. while imaginary cotton candy sounds great, dinosaurs are a huge selling point. We'll have to see.

Reading the epic bios, I think Aldo the enigmatic sounds promising. Is he aligned with anyone yet?

Haven't decided yet, still trying to get a grip on the factions. Could I get a quick summary of them? One that includes members preferably.

Howdy Oregonians I have decided to send a few epics into the fray. I've never done any online role-playing before, so bear with me Twi suggested I submit my characters her for some awesome feedback, so here goes: Jackson Black, aka Fade: and the second, Max Black, aka the Sandman: They now travel around together, trying to avoid the petty struggles of epics. And they've recently arrived in Oregon.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is great.

Welcomes and howdys Fear not, the cookie is most certainly safe. For other great authors here are a few I enjoy and heartily recommend Terry Pratchett: Hilarious. His Discworld novels simultaneously parody the entire fanasy genre while addressing real world issues from a fantasy viewpoint. Also his Wee Free men stories are about tiny blue Scottish "Pictsies" and they're hysterical. Scott Lynch: The Lies of Locke Lamora - An excellently written fantasy/heist series with superb characters. Has plenty of cussing. Patrick Rotherfuss: The Kingkiller Chronicle - The writing is fantastic. The novels really come alive. The second book has a bunch of sex though, which many find off-putting, including myself. However, overall they are a fantastic read. Congrats on the new mancub. Stable bloodlines are great for avoiding needless succession wars.

Welcome, mind the gap. Also, mind the Curse-ed Abyss Whales. They take a while to get used to strangers. Do you choose to pick a specialty, or do you choose to remain a general Denizen? Not if you do it right. And did you mean advertising or sales? They're frequently confused for one another.

What do you get when you cross a Windrunner with a Skybreaker? A Windbreaker.

Never have I wanted to go to Georgia more... Other topics to cover: Hemalurgy The Stick: will we see more of it? Will fire be in the picture? The Aimian

Where there are buildings bunched together, there are Alleys.

When you trip people and blame it on Windspren.
