Mckeedee123 he/him Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Talking about that post. With a 3D object like a wedge, how do you specify what the back side is... especially with the front side being 2D, which means the actual wedge would have to be the orange matter and as such not capable of piercing people. ... Also now that he's in canon, what is his actual secondary? Umm... good point I suppose I'll change that. The front end will be its own super-thin, super-strong material from now on, instead of being 2D. As to his secondary... how about a little extra strength and density? Not tank-flipping strength, just, like, motorcycle-flipping strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tank-flipping strength, just, like, motorcycle-flipping strength Sounds more feasable. Though there would still need to be some detail working for a construct like that. Mainly what's the "back end" and is it still 2 inches thick. Basic enough, I suppose. (With density you mean simply durability or actually having more mass and all that implies?)

Think of the force fields as the wall of a house. The "front end" is the plaster and the "back end" is the insulation. The field can be cast in any direction (with the back end either facing towards or away from him) but that's just the terminology I made up to describe the shape of the field. I was thinking both. I figured it would help him if an Epic started throwing heavy objects (like tanks) at the force fields. The fields would get knocked back pretty hard by that, but maybe if he was pushing on them physically, they could withstand it.

Maybe make it so that the outer layer contains the orange matter, so we don't have to deal with soome sticking out of the sides of the wedge? Having the backside towards what's being thrown at him would probably be more effective and lacks the disadvantages increased density would have, so just some damage resistance seems more efficient. Oh and Kobold You saw armies of undead caribou marching to sate their unquenchable bloodlust. What has Lightwards been doing, while we didn't look?

Kobold King he/him Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) The thing about undead caribou is that they'd actually be the perfect army for him. Very low intelligence + large bodies makes them easy for him to control in large numbers. If he were to somehow acquire a few hundred caribou skeletons, he could do quite a lot with them.

Kobold King he/him Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 So... if Funtimes can create simple biological machines like her kittens, made of flesh and blood but with absolutely no intelligence or autonomy... ...how would she react if Lightwards asked her to make him an army of saber-toothed caribou with rainbow-colored manes? (serious question.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Saber-toothed caribou with rainbow manes? She'd be tempted, but coming from Lightwards, she'd refuse the request.

Or failing that, is there anything he could offer her in turn in exchange for an army? At the moment CorpseMaker has him severely outgunned.

She'd be hesitant to give him anything he could turn on her, but she'd agree to electronic things like those laser alligators or something less outlandish like drones or trip mines.

Another random idea I just had--what if Lightwards used his leverage to task Sam with convincing Funtimes to supply him with a dinosaur army? She could try to accomplish this by informing her of the possibility of controlling Warriors with tape recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could try to accomplish this by informing her of the possibility of controlling Warriors with tape recordings. That might work, but I think the tech would ultimately be more effective. She could transform it if need be, true, but she'd be more inclined to give him greater control because of that. Plus, the mechanical nature would mean CorpseMaker couldn't kill them with a glance, Nighthound couldn't take control without permission, and any other Epic whose powers work on living things would have their hands tied. Murphy could break them, sure, but she could make more. (And I also want to limit the size and scope of what sort of living things she can make, partly because she's not a biologist.)
