Epic City: Starburst

I'm also going to need a while to do my character. Got a bunch of stuff to do this morning but I'll have it done by today.

Epic City: Starburst

@Regitnui
Ah, gotcha, gotcha.

What I had in mind was that the fortress moved around on legs and sort of circled the city in a random-ish patrol route that the guy doesn't have much control over. The gimmick was that he doesn't really have control of it in general, but the inside was kind of like a maze that he could only even vaguely navigate, but he'd always get where he wanted to be. The weakness was that anybody boarding the fortress looking for either its weakness or just a way to take it down would eventually come to a dead-end door with a key-hole. Any key would fit, and if you unlocked it the whole thing would just disappear.

Although, I do get why it'd be a problem, so I won't have a problem with finding something else.

Epic City: Starburst

Quick question, how big can the scale of an epic's powers be? I'm asking because I've got an idea for a guy who's power is a huge moving fortress but if I can't do that I can always grab something else.

I don't feel like I'm doing awfully much or that I'm going to end up doing awfully much with my usual attitude so I think I'll probably also exit considering everyone I was interacting with is gone right now. I feel like I don't have a good way to come back into the story, so I guess I may as well just do other stuff.

I probably could've posted again as well, but I didn't see that much of a reason to yet. I'm also trying to figure some things out recently that don't really have anything to do with anything in lieu of stuff that actually matters because I'm kind of a dumbass sometimes but that should work itself out pretty soon.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Wondering if I can hit myself with nova burst. I'll post later on, I have lots of stuff to accomplish before the day is up.

@Lord of Evil

why don't you blue shift to smack her into a wall or something?

"That just happens sometimes. Just wrong place, wrong time, this time around." Kosuke muttered, looking down over the sound desk. Normally there wasn't anyone around when this stuff happened, or at least he was pretty sure there wasn't. His trait of liking isolation seemed to carry over a fair amount, maybe he'd been here long before she'd come in. Well, how long was a good question though. Not like he could tell, but his body felt pretty damn stiff. And, oddly enough now in a place where he'd probably thought he'd be alone there were suddenly a robust cast of 4.

There was the geek girl, main-character like, coming in to mess with the sound equipment or something. The famous pop-idol who was unexpectedly here for unknown reasons. The relatively normal looking girl coming in, probably on request by the geek girl. And last of all, the mysterious spaghetti man who may or may not have a hidden agenda he wasn't even aware of.

If he didn't know any better, this was a set-up. But for what, he had no clue. Maybe a body would fall from the ceiling and the crew would get embroiled in a massive conspiracy, uncovering the darkness hidden deep inside the school basement which may or may not actually exist. Maybe they would suddenly get dragged into DGO as part of a secret experiment, unable to escape until a suitable cover story is crafted about the main character being part of a terrorist organization and the world-wide idol sensation CiEL would be their first big target except the experimental device she was using backfired and put her under as well. Then her and her 'compatriots' would be forced on the run, somehow disabling the tracking on the chips everybody has while the idol herself tries to find a way to reveal the truth in her now incredibly dangerous position.

Those situations and many more were making the rounds in his head for most likely outcome. There was a high possibility none of those would occur obviously, but it wouldn't hurt to hedge his bets.

"Name's Kosuke," He said, finally. "The hell were you doing up here?"

Kosuke blearily opened his eyes. When had he fallen asleep? Last thing he'd remembered he was going into Deep Ground, now he was sitting in a chair, somewhere he didn't recognize. He didn't feel too good, and he smelled... Freshly washed surprisingly enough. Usually when this happened he was pretty sure he didn't take a shower, but the things he did in his moments seemed to be getting more normal as time went on. Well, he couldn't really tell whether or not it was though, he was unconscious for them. Hopefully he'd normalize before he figured out how to use his phone though.

Somewhere nearby there was someone talking. Maybe they'd been the one who had put him in the chair. He shakily got to his feet and walked over to where they were.

"Oi, who're you calling a flying spaghetti monster?" He said.

He only heard the last part of what the person had been saying, and maybe he'd heard a few things wrong, but whatever. It'd get the point across.

"Go, Christopher!" Arkadian shouted.

The dissolution roared as Christopher darted out from under Arkadian's cloak, or as fast as charging Cosmosis would allow him to, anyway. This was a mid to low size dissolution that was on its last legs already, one more attack would finish it off. Christopher kept moving as as the dissolution reared back its fist. Christopher slowed, the dissolution swung, and Arkadian dashed out to take the blow. He threw his cloak out in front of him, the gaudy faux stars becoming a cosmos, and the creases and folds melded into the darkness of its void.

The dissolution's punch swung through the cloak as if there was nothing there. Cloak of Starlight was an amazing ability. It absorbed all kinds of ranged attacks, and he took half damage from most melee attacks. For both melee attacks and ranged attacks though, there was a limit that he could absorb. The biggest weakness for Arkadian's cloak was multiple quick melee attacks, since his cloak didn't parry them or cancel out a combo of theirs. The first time he'd tried it in melee range, he'd gotten sent to the respawn by a three-hit combo since he still had low health.

The dissolution unleashed a follow-up attack and Arkadian's health took another dip.

"Now!" Arkadian shouted.

There was a flash of light as Christopher blinked in front of him and unleashed Cosmosis. The dissolution was destroyed in a shockwave of cosmic energy, and when it cleared only EXP crystals remained.

Now that he had these abilities, he could finally make up for lost time. Even though Cloak of Starlight was a purely defensive ability, the ability to take more risks combined with Christopher's Astral Shift had given him a large boost in offensive power. Now he could finally make up for lost time.

The stars on his cloak reverted to normal, and it shrank to his shoulders. Christopher jumped up onto his shoulders and Arkadian set his sights to the horizon.

"Alright, Christopher!" He said, setting off. "Let's find some adventure!"

You can, the next time he levels up. Especially since that character already has twice as much utility as anyone else in the RP.

Keeping piling up power after power will make him broken beyond any excuse.

@KoL

Hmm, yeah I guess you're right. I may not end up doing it then, because on reflection again I kind of want to tone down Cloak of Starlight. I'll do those next level up as well to make it easier for myself and also because I finally have a plan for what kind of mage I want Arkadian to be, so hopefully I can fix him well enough so that you won't have to worry

@KoL
Would it be ok if I give Christopher the ability to take Arkadian with him during Astral Shift if Arkadian is holding him close enough? I'm writing up a post right now and I just thought it'd be cool to have, but it's ok if that's not allowed considering how long it was since I locked that ability in.
