Just a random guy, doing random things. Main RP: Hell's Coffee Lounge Current RPs change often enough that it's too much effort keeping a list of them updated.

I edited it in, and man, 40m makes him REALLY heavy. He now weighs 50.000 metric tonnes. Befitting of a 'living mountain'.
@Lmpkio
True, he is a bit short isn't he? I might up him to 40m, although I wouldn't dream of making him bigger than Titanica. That's her schtick, after all.
Seems everybody else has at least two characters, so I figured I might as well throw in my own application.

Man, I don't think I've ever been in quite so... volatile an rp. Everyone's arguing with one another about all kinds of things.

Khaine could probably counter Victoire's roses, considering he's a fairly solid teleporter with the stone, and has access to several AOE heat abilities that could stop their growth. As well as being able to remove their power source in the form of munchable mooks. That's just based on my knowledge of his powers, but I'm sure plenty of other characters could do the same.

From what I've noticed, KoL is a power-gamer. Someone who's interested in the supernatural abilities of characters, and using those abilities to their fullest potential. As such their characters are not only quite powerful, but also able to use each of their individual powers to far greater effect than most others. With a little optimisation a character like Henry or even Fran could be set up as a solid challenge for Victoire, if you were to set them up with the right gear and get them to use their powers properly.

Although I do think KoL should perhaps be a bit less harsh on people not being able to keep up.

Meh, these are just my two cents. My character isn't even in this fight ^_^
@Nightknight
Man, I got a notification for this and had no idea what it was until I clicked it ^-^

But glad to see there is at least some small amount of interest.
@EchoicChamber
Considering Wizrock's notable absence, is it acceptable if I have Alex knock out his character in order to have the story move forward?
@Mercenary Lord
Yeah, definitely hoping to see some team-on-team action later. For the moment I'm going to have the duo running around performing mild heroics, and I'll bring in the others later. Assuming nothing plot-related occurs outside of Epic City. It'll be fun to see how long it takes before the Jack's pawns are made to fight other 'heroes'....

@Old Amsterdam@Regitnui
Ah, I do apologise for that. It was quite late when I wrote that post, and I completely forgot about Blacklight being a pre-existing character. I was just thinking of a name for a darkness-themed super, and it popped into my mind. I'll edit it into something else.
Sorry for not posting for a while, BTW, but I'm skipping out on this battle. Khaine will be involved again in the next one.
♖ Jack of Spades Starting the Game ♖


Strange Epics with immense power breaking into the city and going about their business here. And the High remained silent. And yet there were strange stories from across the city, incidents of the High supposedly directly interfering in affairs. With a rumble like thunder, the wheels were slowly beginning to spin. It was clear that things were going to change. The order that had existed up until now, the seemingly untouchable hierarchy, was being challenged. And if the ivory tower of the High's power crumbled, then Epic City might well crumble with it. But could there truly be other Epics out there in the world, who possessed the power to challenge the High? Were the wastelands concealing such a power?

Grinning, Nikitovich sat in his office. Just what was going on? He was dying to know. But what was for certain was that this was his chance, to make his own claim for the throne. Two great dogs were fighting, and while they were distracted, he would walk away with the bone. Steal it right from under their noses. Those who cannot win through power must win through subterfuge, through wit. And soon, this entire city would belong to him.

First, he reviewed his troops. Those normal, unpowered humans, who had chosen to accept his 'enhancements'. Some had taken the trial run and then returned to their normal lives. Some hadn't been able to resist the temptation of the power, and returned to him like an addict to a dealer. Others had taken his offer because of the money, pay they wouldn't be able to get elsewhere. Currently, they were being trained to be 'heroes'. Soldiers, really. How to use their powers, how to fight. Specialised training. Soon he would have a complete 'first wave' of super soldiers, ready to do his bidding. Originally this first wave had been intended as little more than a trial run, to test how well his 'networks' would work when inscribed onto humans. But with events spiralling so rapidly out of control, there was no doubt he would need to proceed to more serious tests. He would need to update his schedule....

As he looked through the list of names and powers, he considered the roles each of them would serve. He had made sure to evaluate them on their mental and emotional stability, as well as their determination and talent. A few had been eliminated from the lineup as being simply not skilled or stable enough to function on his team. Those that remained were showing more progress than he had hoped. The people of Epic City were more relaxed than anywhere else in the world, but Nikitovich had chosen those normals who had come from the outside. Those who knew what a life of danger was like. Once someone had had a taste of danger, once they had known weakness and peril, it became far easier to acclimate them to the life of a soldier. Soon, they would be Team Epsilon, a new faction of supers. A 'brand' for his army, an 'ideal' he could work through to influence the city. To take it over, from the inside.



But, even as he won the hearts and minds of the city, he would need to prepare for more drastic action. After all, war was brewing, and he was not so optimistic as to think he could merely sit on the sidelines. One of the two sides, at some point, would notice his preparations, and would try to either recruit or destroy him. As such, he needed to be fully prepared for either situation. His current base of operation was a fancy mansion and a 'normie' appartment building. The first as his personal home, the second as the future base of Epsilon. However, he would require an extensive power source, and more advanced equipment. While such things were technically available within Epic City, it would be quite difficult to acquire them without attracting attention. This meant an expedition to the outside, to the contacts Nikitovich still had in the nearby surviving areas.

He would have to send Achilles and Blademaster. They weren't the best duo, but both of them had been on the outside for a while. And they wouldn't be missed much here in the city. He needed Emblem and Inferno to build up reputations, to attract attention. They were supposed to be flashy, and fancy. And while Blacklight was well suited for the task, Nikitovich simply couldn't spare him. After all, Blacklight was his most reliable way of... removing... his enemies. And there were plenty of obstacles he needed dealing with before Achilles and Blademaster were to return from their trip.

Now, the pieces had been placed. The game was about to commence...

Unfortunately things seem to have rather slowed down. Hopefully the pace will return to what it used to be in time.
