Kind of cruel of Anika... Ryan can't eat LOL

 

[Agamon]

Hehe, I forgot about that. We both did, I guess. HH response should be interesting.

Kind of cruel of Anika... Ryan can't eat LOL

He can. He justs gets sick if he does, IIRC. So if Ryan wasn't such a whining baby, he could eat. He'll get beat on by supervillains, but won't put up with stomach trouble.

Actually, the trouble is that Ryan probably doesn't have a stomach anymore. Given his immunities and powers, his body seems to run on pure Cosmic Power now. A CAT scan or MRI of Ryan would probably be pretty freaky.

I think Ryan is freaky in general

As a small aside expect Issue #7 to kick off this week, one more major event to pull off and then we start the next Issue, just think we will be more then halfway to 12 if that means anything

If we start bugging Hammerhead he might start up his game again

poke, poke, nudge, nudge...

*Joins in the poking

 

[Victim]

With some advance knowledge of Hammerhead's villains, I can say that it's definitely not in our characters' best interests to have the game start up again. 2 words: Drain CON.

 

[Hammerhead]

Heh. I didn't think there was enough interest in my game to restart it, giving Victim's apparent lack of interest as well as having a few others drop as well. I believe the 'advance knowledge' Victim mentions went something like this:

Victim: You know, some powers are just too broken to be used, like Drain Con.
Me: Really? One of my villains used Drain Con with a Fort save. Heh.
Victim: That's just sick.

My view is that Ryan's internal organs still technically exist, but they no longer need to be used. He does't breath, eat, sleep or drink, he's immune to every disease and poison and he can't be affected by critical hits, thus suggesting his internal organs are extraneous. They can't really be gone though...where would they go?

And just for the record, Ryan hasn't ever really been beaten on by the bad guys. Ryan has failed two damage saves (well, one was a Will save, but it did damage) in his entire life as an Elite, and I've spent Hero points to make both rolls.

 

[Victim]

Yeah, and then you started complaining about how half the group had Regen and how you needed other strong (scary) villain builds to provide a challenge.

If his organs were superfluous, then Ryan could still eat - he wouldn't need to eat, but his ability to eat would be intact. Since Ryan becomes ill after eating, his ability to digest food must have been damaged in some way. IIRC, the effects of this change were immediate, so it's not as if Ryan's digestice track has atrophied since it wasn't being used. As soon as Ryan got cosmic power, it stopped working. So something had to happen to them.

If his organs were superfluous, then Ryan could still eat - he wouldn't need to eat, but his ability to eat would be intact. Since Ryan becomes ill after eating, his ability to digest food must have been damaged in some way.

And he can speaks normally, so his respiratory system must be intact too. The ability to keep those running argues for at least some nervous and circulatory system functioning. Could be neat to have someone capture Ryan and remove his brain to see what happens.

But I hasten to add that this is purely intellectual speculation and should not be regarded as a suggestion or request.
