EPIC M&M (OOC Thread)

Ok caveman Grog!

The day after arriving at the EPIC school, Randall feels in much better spirits. The memories of the Mag-Lev are quickly pushed to the back of his mind with the excitement of being at the EPIC HQ. He is used to having new surroundings, and quickly adapts to life at the institute. One of the first things he does is find Vincent and apologizes. "I'm sorry for my outburst back at the hospital, no hard feelings?" Randall will create an illusionary tail for Vincent (which he makes so Vincent can't see it) to complete his demonic appearance. Vince's "tail" will be constantly doing funny things like cleaning his ears or picking his nose.

Randall, who always introduces himself as Loki, quickly becomes the class clown in all his subjects. Exploding pens, giant spiders, floating eyeballs in the soup, no one is safe from his pranks. Except for a few: Thunder, who he wisely refrains from pranking, and Cosmo, Jackal and Raisa, whom he is still intimidated by. But his favorite victim is Vince, whose appearance makes it just too easy.

One day, in a particularly boring lesson about politics which he was taking with Vince, Randall got into a bit of trouble. Blowing a loud raspberry in the crook of his arm, Randall made flames shoot from Vince's butt, seemingly igniting the desk of the student sitting behind poor Vincent. The girl sitting at the burning desk shrieked, and dove away from the blaze, fooled by the illusion. Randall burst out laughing, as did a few other students who realized what was up, but the laughter quickly stopped when the school's state-of-the-art fire detection system was also fooled by the illusionary flames. Water poured down from the ceiling soaking everyone and everything in the classroom. Books were ruined, and to say the teacher was displeased would be an understatement.

OOC: I don't know that much about fire detection systems, but I do know that some are light sensitive, and could possibly be fooled by Loki's blaze. This is 2120 after all.

Despite all the joking around, Loki does apply himself to his schoolwork, and spends time every night working on his light control. "If Merlin thinks that I can make solid objects out of light, then I must be able to." Randall keeps practicing.

When not in class, or working on homework, Randall can usually be found playing video games with the other students.

"Finally, some freash air!" Randall quickly packs his things and heads for the door, but not before signing up for the martial arts and track teams

Ok, Mule.... that rocked! And yeah, the fire system will have light detection as well as smoke and heat, so PSSSSHHHHH! Shower time

What is the url for the changes?

 

[Calinon]

Either go to the last post in issue one, or to the website that is linked in my sig. The links are found in either place.

I wanted to know where the updated rules were located.

Edit: found them

A few things on power upgrades. I will allow partial extras, meaning if you have an extra you want, but don't have the points to get it at your full power, you may get it at a lesser power. (example: you have super strength 8, want protection, have 5 points, and get protection 5.) You can't advance the base power until all it's extras are at 8, so do this at your risk. This also means you don't have to save a pile of points that do you no good, instead, training in stages (which makes sense at a school!). This also means you can advance your base power alone, without advancing all it's extras.

Ah... in this case... I'd like to spend my 3 points towards the Regrowth extra on my Regeneration power. Thus, I'd need to put four more points towards this in the future to get the full extra, and until that point, if I read this correctly, would attempt to Regrow limbs like I had Regeneration 3 (so I'd need to roll a 17 to regrow a limb). Once I've completed the Regrowth purchase, I intend to then add it to my Healing ability as well... so I can regrow other people's limbs as well as my own.

 

[Calinon]

Sure thing. Just remember that horrible part of "you only get one attempt to do so."

That doesn't scare me... having a chance to regrow the limb (in the case of mine getting cut off) is better than no chance. In the case of me helping someone else regrow a limb - that will have to come once I've got a much better chance of making it...


YAY! They made Regeneration, Super Senses, and Super Constitution permanent! That saves me some points -- I was going to buy Duration extras as part of my plans... Now... I need to figure out what to do with 17 points I had intended to spend...

 

[buzzard]

Those points go in the piggy bank. Also I edited my post in issue two with something else I thought of.

I'm not quite sure how that would work. Loki will have to move the illusion as Speed Demon moves, which I'm sure could be quite difficult considering how fast Speedy can move. I'm thinking something like making Vince's skin tone more "normal" and disguising his eyes as much as possible

Yes, it will be hard. Vince can't use his powers if you want to keep the illusion on him and he'll have to remain in your line of sight since you can't move the illusion if you don't see him. Basically as long as he is within 30 feet and doesn't go behind you, you'll be fine. It will take some concentration on your part for sure.
