Kobold King he/him Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) You guys mind if I write the occasional Mastermind post in L.A.? It'll really just be a mu-ha-ha-ha evil villain hideout location. Winter decided that she didn't want him. I like that idea. Lightsworn, I'm almost done with a Vondra post now. Could you hold off on a Panda scene until I post it? If you've already gotten one written, then don't worry, but I'd like to engage Panda in the air before he gets started on the next phase of the invasion.

Kobold King he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Aaaand posted for Vondra. It's not nearly as epic as it needs to be to justify Vondra's reputation, but it was the best I could come up with right now. Hope there aren't any problems with it. If there are, don't hesitate to let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Lightsworn, I could possibly write a vanilla guard character if you let me know the basics about what you want for cannon fodder in a PM. Sure! I'm always welcome for cannon fodder! I can agree with that to an extent, like not needing to figure out the exact genetic changes needed for pigs to grow wings but rather just thinking 'grow wings' but something like a virus is a bit different, symptoms of virus' are secondary effects of changes in the cell structure of the virus itself, I just don't find it likely that he could think 'turn into a zombie-virus' and his power would accurately change the structure of the virus in the thousand different ways necessary, it's just not specific enough. Now if he directly altered the people himself I can absolutely believe he could turn them into zombies, albeit of a non-infectious variety. We havr rpics here that can change objects into buses at will. I think creating a zombie-virus wouldn't be that hard. Also, it's not the type that brings people back from the the dead. It's the sort that gives people an unsatisfiable hunger for flesh and blows away all consciousness, including the threshold for pain. Pigs: acted on mental command, precise enough to fly in formation and head towards a specific location Squirrels: raging pandas: act like people but according to Reader´s reading completely mind raped Other stuff: unknown Well, he pulled almost the same reasoning on Sightline. He´s quite the admirable man. You can put the the other animals as enraged. Ouch. Getting shot by an entire helicopter's armaments must hurt. Pandas have feelings too, Kobold. I should have a RP up, sometime before the next week (Yes, I know I take forever to write RP) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's not the type that brings people back from the the dead. It's the sort that gives people an unsatisfiable hunger for flesh and blows away all consciousness, including the threshold for pain. That is a very good point, but here's the thing: all Epics have limitations, and the Panda's bio is a little foggy on what his limits are. Controlling an animal's body or brain is one thing, but controlling organic molecules on a viral scale is quite another. It's as big a leap as if Steelheart could suddenly turn people to steel just by looking at them, or if Curveball could launch nuclear missiles out of handguns. When discussing the anatomy of an animal and the construction of a virus, we're talking about two very different scales of precision. Is it possible? That's up for you and the GM to decide. But there are very good reasons for other members' surprise in this. What are the upper limits for Panda's organic control? Ouch. Getting shot by an entire helicopter's armaments must hurt. Pandas have feelings too, Kobold. I should have a RP up, sometime before the next week (Yes, I know I take forever to write RP) Sir: you are no panda. You're much quicker than I am, if it's any consolation. I look forward to seeing how the Panda survives and utterly curbstomps the helicopter. Getting beaten up is half the fun in this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sort that gives people an unsatisfiable hunger for flesh and blows away all consciousness, including the threshold for pain. The thing about viruses, though, is that they're a very specialized branch of medical knowledge. People spend their careers studying existing viruses just to learn how the flu might mutate this year; creating an entirely new virus would be a lifetime acheivement (albeit a dubious one) for many. If the Panda's motif was viruses and bacteria, it wouldn't be hard to swallow, but his thing so far has been cloning, which is itself a very specialized and speculative branch of medicine. That he has mastered both in the time he's been an Epic is a little farfetched to me. Not only that, but getting an army of pandas to take over a city is a pretty remarkable acheivement on its own. It already presents endless opportunities for the Panda to show off his might, so why is the virus necessary? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda's a terrific antagonist already; does he really need another trick up his figurative sleeve? At a certain point we risk becoming unnecessarily convoluted, if we add layers upon layers of separate organic threats to The Dalles. And I'll stress again that I love the Panda.

There are monsters like Timeport, Quota, and Electro running around now, and they make Lightwards look like a grouchy old man yelling for people to get off his lawn. I also keep kicking myself for setting his zombie limit so low. Looking at the Panda and Ozymandias and all those Astoria characters, it's becoming increasingly clear that there's no way Lightwards could hold on to any sort of empire in Oregon. But what's done is done, I suppose. I get the feeling I'll feel the same way about my writing in a year or so. Half the stuff I've written in this RP already looks dumb and melodramatic to me.

"Yeah, good luck with that," Remington said through the speaker of his tank. Funny, I have the opposite problem. I didn't mean to make Funtimes as powerful as I did….and you'd be surprised how much time I spend thinking of ways to nerf her. I'm currently thinking she's only able to manipulate matter within a close range, and that the number of people she can take with her shrinks with the distance they travel. So evacuating all of Oregon to the Yukon Territory would be out of the question, as would turning an entire battlefield into tar. Why do you think I hate rereading my old posts?

I'd ask why Remington Springfield has a tank, but... he's Remington Springfield. I still don't think Doctor Funtimes is overpowered. She's definitely powerful, but not remotely gamebreakingly so. And it's not as if she were an Oregonian Steelheart, both completely invincible and set on world domination. She's a quirky, wacky character who's hard to take in a fair fight; there's really nothing wrong with that. And as I've said before, practically anyone at the Sadry meeting right now could assassinate her in a heartbeat. Even Lightwards, if I allowed him he thought of it. She has no prime invincibility, she's very easily distracted, and she has a tendency to annoy powerful Epics. That makes her more than a little vulnerable. I'm allergic to gluten, and several of my close family members have recently been discovered to be lactose intolerant. There are definitely worse allergies to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I thought I was the only teen here who liked the RP stuff! mail-mi is two days older than me... My age varies between 5 and 85 most of the time But technically I'm 22. We havr rpics here that can change objects into buses at will. I think creating a zombie-virus wouldn't be that hard. Also, it's not the type that brings people back from the the dead. It's the sort that gives people an unsatisfiable hunger for flesh and blows away all consciousness, including the threshold for pain. Sorry to keep harping on about it, I'm just a very nitpicky person when it comes to certain things, particularly since I'm a bio student. The differences are that firstly Busdrivers entire power is turning things into busses, Pandas power is biological alteration, while I can see how is power would filter his intent into its creation I really only think that works on the organism he's altering, he shouldn't be able to for example think to a panda Become something capable of beating Steelheart and then that Panda loses all its capacity for fear. It should filter to the organism he's altering, not be able to change it in such a way that it changes other things. Secondly a bus is infinitely less complex than even the simplest living organisms. I guess I just feel that it's taking the Pandas abilities a step further than they were described and that it's actually insanely OP if you think about it, an Epic with the power to manufacture diseases would unquestionably be one of the most powerful Epics in the world, he could level cities even faster than Obliteration, give immunity to himself and his own army and just watch the world slowly destroy itself and that's without adding any mind-altering effects like a zombie virus. Which is it's own point, although I love the zombie apocalypse as a genre, realistically a zombie outbreak is near impossible to reach apocalyptic levels, it could infect maybe 10 people before they'd all be killed. Particularly in a city already as militarized as the Dalles. Again I really love the Panda and I like him as a character, I just think he doesn't need things like zombie virus' or giant pandas to stay a viable enemy. I'd really like to see a clever scientist really interested in preserving his army, maybe recalling all his Pandas once they started being defeated, analyzing all the powers they've been up against and altering them to specifically counter certain Epics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, now I feel like an old fart. And adding onto what Voidus said: The Panda can transform living beings into pandas in a very short period of time, without requiring skin contact or their consent. That's more powerful even than Slaughterhouse, one of Kobold's backstory Epics who needs to touch his victims to transform them. Even without the ability to give himself wings, or create flying pigs and killer squirrels, the Panda could simply walk down the street, transforming passersby left and right, and by the time they opened fire on him, he could just order the soldiers' former loved ones to go on a suicide run and end the attack before it began. If he now has the ability to create a new and terrifying virus, what's stopping him from heading over to Newcago and threatening to murder every one of Steelheart's subjects if his demands aren't met? What's to stop him from doing the same thing in city after city until the Fractured States become Pandatopia? I love the Panda as a character. He's wild and wacky, and his devotion to the Radiant Panda—gah, you have no idea how much I laughed at "NOW GO AND BRING FORTH THE GLORIOUS PANDA REVOLUTION!" I just worry that the lack of an upper limit will stretch credulity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few songs in mind already. …you know, grasshoppers are a somewhat popular snack item here in Arizona, but I've never tried them. Partly because all the prepared grasshoppers I've come across have had varying types of food coloring and/or flavors in their seasonings. (It's kind of amazing what companies will put food coloring into. Some pizza chains even put Blue 1 into their dough. Apparently, just a tiny bit makes it look whiter?) But yeah, sometimes I think it's an evil Liebrarian conspiracy to keep me from trying tasty things. <Already does this to people several years older I'd consider doing that….but considering I go to a church where my parents are the "cute young couple with the kids," it probably wouldn't work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I meant it when I said that I'd been working on Edassa for a decade - it's actually more than that now) And on the subject of burning all of my teenage writing - well, all of my fiction from before 20 or so is never going to see the light of day, but some of my writing assignments for high school English classes weren't half bad. And my Honors Thesis on string theory that I wrote for my Associate's Degree is something I don't cringe to read through again (I cringe leading up to it, then read it, then think - that really wasn't all that bad. It even had a few really good points.) But all of the fiction can join yours on the bonfire. Ooh!!! We should all have a teenage fiction bonfire burning party! EDIT: And my wife has celiac disease, so we eat gluten free (except for when I can get my hands on some Chex mix...)
