Epic City: Starburst

@Obscurus, I'm waiting for your Giant to grab the behir and end that encounter. Then I had stop holding my Co-GM down and let him start putting fiendish plans into motion that will surprise me and the High just as much as it will all of you.

@Regitnui

He's not joking. Reg only knows my basic ideas, and he's had to keep me from starting for days now.

Just saying this event better be as hype as its being revved up to, or we riot

Also seems like some kind of multipowered character with brainwashing abilities

Unless they're all different people in which case idk, sounds like a bad time

Edit2: something to do with smog

@Mercenary Lord

It's not so much an event as....
Well, I can't think of a good enough word. But much bigger than an event. Events are like the Beasts, the Kryptonites... This is so much more.

Accretes? (Missing a t but it's all I got)
Mimic
Tower
Rend/Nerd (lol please have an epic named nerd)
Null
Smog
Dian Cecht (interesting Celtic influences here)
...psychocore?

Not sure if these are separate entities or not

@Mercenary Lord

I won't be saying if any of those are correct, but let me just say this:
You're assuming they're anagrams. Which they may or may not be.

Epic City: Starburst

The Alkahest

Scatterer

"Fall into my orbit... Because the world really does revolve around me."

Scatterer

Name: Damien Terrence

Epic Identity: Scatterer

Age: 26

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Control of objects. The less complex (i.e. materials, nonliving things) the greater control. Considered to be telekenetic in nature, it's actually more akin to energy control. On humans he can cause trips, force a miss in an attack, and the like or simply force movement based on clothes and other materials worn.

Weakness: lack of leg movement. If he's not moving his legs independently of each other, he can't use his ability.

Personality: A prankster, but on a more viscous level. Seeks personal gain at the price of someone else's. Incredibly happy to cause harm and misfortune to random passerbys, and gets his jollies through any form of torture or abuse of another living being (animals, Freaks, Epics, or Normies. He's not picky). Slightly arrogant at times, and incredibly jaded the rest of the time, he can be incredibly irritating to deal with verbally.

Appearance: a simple all black suit and white tie, his face hidden behind an armored Oni mask, is how you'll notice him.

If one were to strip away this outfit, which would require him to be dead, they would find a shaved head and brown goatee. Bright green eyes and a nose that seems too small for his face finish out his head, and the rest of his body is kept free of hair. Approximately 5' 9" tall, and weighing about 160 pounds, his frame is incredibly regular.

Background: See Chrysopoeic

Mimic

"All you are... Is mine."

Mimic

Name: Jennifer Craft

Epic Identity: Mimic

Age: 19

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Upon being hit by any power, Mimic can store that exact ability for l either immediate use, or later use. She gets one use with that power, than needs to reabsorb it to use it again. No time limit on stored abilities, meaning she can keep them up her sleeve for years.

Weakness: Contact with copper (which includes bullets with copper jackets). This stops her from absorbing powers for twenty four consecutive hours, and removes any stored powers.

Personality: Rather childish. Spunky, almost. Very outspoken, generally in a taunting way, and prone to angered outbursts. Easily offended by the most absurd things.

Appearance: a simple all black suit that's more akin to a school uniform, skirt included. White bow string in place of a tie, and rounded out with a blank white mask that only features eye holes.

Beneath all that is a gorgeous young woman. Full lips, icy blue eyes, Raven black hair styled in a pixie cut, and a curvy figure. She's a little short at 5' 4" and weighs only 110 pounds.

Background: See Chrysopoeic

The Tower

"You will break on me."

The Tower

Name: Kevin Jackson

Epic Identity: The Tower

Age: 24

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Deals incredible amounts of damage, but is literally unable to kill directly. Injuries aren't fatal unless left unattended, and are generally easily fixed given time and proper treatment. He is most effective with blunt weapons, including his own body, and capable of taking down buildings given enough time.

He is also completely invulnerable. Attacks don't break skin, nor can he suffer blunt trauma.

Weakness: Joy.

When feeling actual joy he's powerless, but that also means he's able to kill you.

Personality: Incredibly jaded, so he rarely displays any real emotion. When he does, however, whoever he's dealing with is in for some real trouble.

Appearance: Standard suit and tie, but The Tower's mask is the most encompassing of the group. His covers his entire head, having four faces. The front showcases pain, the left happiness, the right sadness, and the back anger.

He's also a walking tank. At 7' 4" tall, he towers over most people, while also being built physically and weighing a good 240 pounds in almost entirely muscle.

History: See Chrysopoeic

Rend

"I see the cracks in your world."

Rend

Name: Benjamin Newt

Epic Identity: Rend

Age: 28

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Rend is perfectly precise. No matter the weapon or means, he'll do exactly what he aims to do. Whether that be cutting flesh without killing, carving messages or symbols into whatever, he has complete control over his actions.

Beyond that, Rend moves in such a way as to essentially rend reality. To him he's moving normally, to everyone else he appears to teleport in a crackle of blue lightning. He can cause "Shadow images" of himself to appear when doing this, which last only ten seconds but act completely independent of Rend as if they were perfect copies of himself.

Weakness: Contact with paper

Personality: Cocky. Psychopathic. Asshole.

Appearance: Like the rest of the team, he's outfitted with the suit and tie, though his mask is shiny black with white lightning bolt that looks almost like cracks in the mask.

Beneath that he's 5' 11", roughly 150 pounds, and lean. Clean-shaven with dirty blonde hair and striking blue eyes not unlike the color of deep water.

History: See Chrysopoeic

Null

"Your mind no longer matters."

Null

Name: Tabitha Rein

Epic Identity: Null

Age: 26

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Psychic
On a 'low' setting she can block the team's presence from even the High Clairvoyant.

On a 'high' setting she can paralyzed victims, effectively trapping them in the own body with no control over anything but their thoughts. And like the Clairvoyant, she can speak into your mind.

Furthermore, when she uses her ability on someone she's in their head. She can speak to them, and actively choose to strip them off any powers that require thought to activate.

Examples

Alex would be unable to use any of her abilities, as would Guilt.

Dragon would be unable to shoot lightning.

Spectrum couldn't chose her power types, instead they'd react based off of emotions.

Etc etc

Weakness: Cottage Cheese (smelling, tasting, or touching)

Personality: Cold, dispassionate, and very, very bored. Even when fighting, she's bored with the whole thing.

She does, however, get her kicks when invading minds. A kind of electric passion of hers.

Appearance: Standard dress. Her mask is a twisted version of whomever looks at it, different to every single person. When under her weakness, it's just an average skull mask that could be found in most party stores.

She's pretty average all around. 5' 5", 120 pounds, small figure with hair dyed electric blue being the only thing that stands out.

History: See Chrysopoeic

Smog

"Breathe in my essence."

Smog

Name: Elena Wurg

Epic Identity: Smog

Age: 28

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Smog is essentially a living representation of smoke. Beneath her skin is swirling, ever producing smoke. She controls the density, darkness, color, and can control the smoke upon releasing it from any hole on her body, including pores. The smoke can be used defensively, like a solid wall or smokescreen, or offensively such as choking someone to death or crushing them under pressure.

Weakness: Natural smoke, such as from cigarettes (which interrupt her own abilities) or from burning materials (which cause her to lose all control of expelled smoke and unable to expell more)

Beyond this, she also needs to release smoke semi consistently lest it builds up and causes her to explode or break from the internal pressure.

Personality: Demented. Revels in removing the senses from others, being prone to carving eyes out of victims as well as other sensory mutilations. Many consider her to be raving mad, and it's not exactly easy to communicate with her outside of her team. She has a very tilted view of the world, and will often talk in circles and metaphors.

Appearance: same as Mimic's, except her mask is like a skull, with what appears to be blood stains along the jagged mouth and eyes.

Background: See Chrysopoeic

Dian Cecht

"You will be my artwork."

Dian Cecht

Name: Terra McMillan

Epic Identity: Dian Cecht

Age: 14

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Control of muscle, bone, and skin. This includes growing, manipulating, and can be used to 'heal' as well as harm.

Weakness: Meds. Whether this be Tylenol, cough syrup, whatever.

Personality: Incredibly broken. She's a mix between an adult and a child, reacts very to cussing, and has a strong desire to experiment with people. Very unpredictable.

Appearance: Standard dress like Mimic, but her mask is human bone in a grinning leer. Over part of the mask is stretched skin, which moves seemingly on its own at random times, ever creeping.

Think of your standard child, with brown hair and hazel eyes.

History: See Chrysopoeic

Ysecrocoph

"All will be made anew in my image."

Chrysopoeic

Name: Flint Zanders

Epic Identity: Chrysopoeic

Age: 30

Faction: Villain Epic - The Alkahest

Ability: Metal manipulation. He can create and manipulate any metal, including their shape, density, sharpness, etc etc. He could make swords, spikes, bullets... Just about anything you could think of, and manipulate them without his hands.

Created metal comes out of him and is then manipulated further.

On a side note, his bones are made of metal.

Weakness: Strong magnets, as he himself is essentially magnetic.

Personality: Intelligent, viscous, and uncaring. He keeps the team in line through threat of violence, keeping them from exploring their abilities beyond what he deems necessary. He knows how to manipulate people incredibly well, on top of his violent tenancies, and his words alone are a force to be reckoned with. Even the most devout are susceptible to his words, almost as if it's another ability.

Appearance: Standard suit and tie, and no mask.

He's a little tall at 6'2", has ever changing weight, and shaggy, yet short, brown hair and gray eyes.

History: Previous history of the group is practically impossible to dig up, but once the team was formed two years ago their history is fairly easy to track.

Going from town to town, Chrysopoeic recruited his team one by one, leaving death, destruction, and terror in his wake. Several major cities have fallen into unrepairable states after a visit from The Alkahest, a name Chrysopoeic designed during his first recruitment and has since became a name of terror.

No one really knows if there's an ulterior motive to the mayhem, but one thing is certain:

Wherever they go, death and torture follows.

You have no idea. Hehe.

Also, to everyone, check the CS tab in about thirty minutes.

I have a surprise for you.

Epic City: Starburst

@ihinka
There will definitely be a lot of lacking intactness.

I expect I'll be replying to Guilt tomorrow.

Feel free. I can't say what will happen, though.

Epic City: Starburst

@Banana
Definitely not. That would get you put into the river.

One Piece: New Horizons!

@Leaves
Pro has mentioned previously in talks that he does not work with reservations.

A heads up, because I don't particularly expect him to make an exception.

Though he has surprised me before.

And I could be remembering completely wrong. My brain does that.

(Also, good luck with your assignments)

Epic City: Starburst

Y'all have no idea how hard it is for me to wait to start my project. I've been refining things the last two days because I want everything to be perfect....
