Edgedancer he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Glamour blinds him. Edgerunner prevents him from gaining a solid footing. Redlight freezes him. Deathwish goes in for the kill. That's how The Dalles City Guard would handle his assassination. I like the character, Inexorable! (And I've seen Days of Future Past. Quicksilver was definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole movie.) Healing factor counters the blinding. Danger sense allows him to run away before she can do that. I forgot who Redlight is. (You seem to be laking quite a bit of the Dalles Epics.) How? Something you may be concerned about that I didn't mention is: Ozymandias can't affect stuff while he's fast. All he can do is go fast, unlike Quicksilver. I realize he would be too overpowered otherwise... That´s slightly less broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want me to get rid of either the healing or the speed, I can, but I'd prefer to leave it how it is, with the non-affecting speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is with the danger sense he can simply switch bewteen his two powers on the fly and given that both work insanly fast being able to use only one isn´t much of a disadvantage, at least unless using one of his powers also drops out the danger sense. I forgot who Redlight is. (You seem to be laking quite a bit of the Dalles Epics.) I meant over in the Epics of Oregon thread by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I meant over in the Epics of Oregon thread by the way. I put her in the "Unclaimed/Minor Epics" section. I may add more detail to her and make her a little more major in the future, but until then: Redlight: A mobility Epic, twenty-three years old and formerly named Rhonda Stick. She is capable of "freezing" up to ten people within her line of sight, preventing them from moving. Targets thus freezed are still capable of speech or using most Epic powers. After years of having Mayor Vondra refer to her as Ms. Stick, she's really kicking herself for not choosing "Mystic" as her Epic name. Status: Employed by The Dalles City Guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Maybe if his speed were more like Newton's—extremely fast, but not so fast that the theory of relativity comes into play—he would seem a bit less OP?

Huh, so that´s where they are, might be more easy to find them is you gave the city guard Epics their own folder. Alright, one Epic that has powers to especially counter his power. They would still need some kind of energy, explosion or strenght Epic to actually take him out. (Of which I think the only two currently in the Dalles are Shiny Sparkle and Blitz but I´m not entirely sure on that.) Could Ozymandias pull of an "don´t blink" with his speed? Maybe if his speed were more like Newton's—extremely fast, but not so fast that the theory of relativity comes into play—he would seem a bit less OP? That could also work.

I want to keep the healing factor. How's that? Edited January 25, 2015 by inexorablePanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sorry for the double post, but I was ninja'd by three people. What do you mean by this? She's a somewhat minor character in Firefight. One of her powers is super speed, and although she's extremely fast, she appears as a blur to others. Contrast this with the super speed in the movie Clockstoppers, which is explained by the theory of relativity: Those using the magic-sciency watches are able to move so quickly that others appear to be standing still, and those watching can't see them at all. This seems to be the case with Quicksilver's power, at any rate—he perceives others as motionless, while they are oblivious to his presence.

The super-speed decay makes more sense that way. How 'bout this. His normal Decay powers will obviously work faster relative to bystanders when he uses his speed power, (Newton-type, not Quicksilver-type) but he has no instinctive reaction to danger. However, if he's moving but not superspeeding, and someone shoots him or drops a building on him, his intense Specific Decay field will kick on. His speed will never automatically kick on.

Voidus Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Let the music glamour you. I actually worry a bit that Impact is going to overestimate her ability to fly and break something while changing directions. Oh Backtrack, you might start thinking positiv with MV maybe being your girlfriend and a nice doctor soon taking care of you but little do you know that MV is already alone with another man. Do I smell a triangle. That is quite possible, she's never used it to fly before, it's really only good if she slowly accelerates and decelerates, otherwise bones will break. I was thinking something more like tearing a muscle a bit to keep her in action for now but still keep it realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 The army arrived through underground tunnels, dug by giant moles. I'm intending to introduce the said moles in my next RP, surprising and eating some hapless guards. I thought I'd already answered the second question, but I'll repeat it again. The Panda started the siege wanting to solve it as peacefully as possible. However, due to the lack of response and the dream (which instilled a sudden hate of humanity), Panda decided to end the siege and en mass storm The Dalles. That makes more sense now, thanks. If he meets up with Sam and Revolution it can be Well necks are still pretty unguarded, I might change the other one though, thanks for the spot. Don't forget next to a giant mutant animal army. Defensively she's still pretty fine but yeah she's not going to be in luck if she runs into any enemy Epics. I was thinking about her running into Elsa so she can get into the story a bit more. If Elsa doesn't work out, either MV or I pact could continue onto Scribbler and Edgerunner. I don't know what else to do with them besides animal slaughtering.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kobold, did Thomas Cardinal have depression, or bipolar depression? And was he ever diagnosed, or did he just exhibit signs? Was he ever referred to a university counselor? And is it okay if he taught at UC Davis, or did you want a university closer to downtown?

There might be one blockade still open, I suppose. They'd be in a state of red alert due to the aforementioned invasion of katana-wielding panda bears. Kobold, did Thomas Cardinal have depression, or bipolar depression? And was he ever diagnosed, or did he just exhibit signs? Was he ever referred to a university counselor? And is it okay if he taught at UC Davis, or did you want a university closer to downtown? (I picked UC Davis because of its research programs, but if you'd envisioned something different, I'll research it some more.) He was diagnosed with both, and he was actively taking prescribed antidepressants when he gained his powers. It's quite possible that he could have been referred to a counselor, though he likely wouldn't be very cooperative with whoever they assigned to him and would have insisted that his medications were more than enough to maintain his mental well-being. UC Davis sounds perfect to me. I never had a specific college in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
