Hey guys, planning on dropping in on this soon. I'm not sure exactly what position Gilgamesh will take up, just that he'll be something like a railroad magnate or politician with a goldmine fortune. Gilgamesh is all about the bling.

Whatever position I go with, I was aiming to having his powers transformed into a pair of gun holsters that are able to access his gold mines. He uses these holsters to make guns out of gold that are nevertheless fully functional, and that he always discards rather than reloading because reloading is for the people that need to do it, i.e. everyone else that isn’t him.

I was thinking that Enkidu (the chain) would just be a lasso that he was given by his childhood friend, and Ea (the universe destroying sword) would just be a lead gun he puts in the holster in order to safely access a pocket of the mine that bears host to a radioactive isotope, thus creating bullets that poison you from the inside.

If I had that kind of power, I'd have dropped a meteor on your house ages ago~

Oh hey, Screw! Long time no see.

I read the HOS omnibus a long time ago, and kind of forgot about it until now. tongue I think Prime BB's a little bigger than G1 'Bee, so there's that... but I imagine his robot mode would have that same kind of "lots-of-gears and steam vents everywhere" sort of aesthetic.

Is that powerset okay with everyone?

Also, how are bad guys going to work? Can we nominate reimagined characters to face off against? I think facing off against Sonic as Billy the Kid would be pretty cool. And there should be at least one other Deception to rival Bumblebee, hopefully in a just as embarrassing disguise.I can't help but think of Sideways disguised as one of those bicycles with the over large front wheel. tongue

The gun holsters a fine, though a bit too on the nose. Unlimited ammo in a settin' where ammo is key seems a bit to OP. Personally I think a horse drawn gatlin' gun would work better and it's be balanced out by they fact that it's harder to mover around.

Enkidu as a lasso is fine. Underwhelmin' even.

Nuke in a Western settin'? Uh...no. That's way overpowered and doesn't fit in at all.

Gilgamesh should not have access to Ea, in any sort of capacity, in the majority of settin's at all. He should only have it in a settin' where planet destruction actually exists (i.e. Star Wars). Also it's classification as an 'anti-world' NP is rather unclear as to what it actually means leavin' the exact nature of Ea to be interpretative.

It's not a nuclear bullet, it's a radioactive bullet. It doesn't explode, it poisons the person it hits from the inside out and guarantees a slow, painful death. I think it makes an interesting departure from canon, because instead of using it on people he thinks are worthy, he uses it on those he wants to see suffer.

I was even thinking about the isotope in question would be Energon, to create some extra tension there.

I'm leaving the 'bandits' open for you guys to bring in bad guys, just be sure to pass them through me first, be it through thread or PM.

[up][up]That's reasonable. As for his horse I'd suggest an Akhal-Teke. They are an expensive breed of 'hot-blooded' horse with a distinct metallic coat, so he can have a golden horse.

Not sure how to handle Gene's Caster Gun,

I'm thinkin' a flintlock with shot that was blessed by a Native Shaman works.

Also in this Universe he and his father were working on a train when they were attacked by bandits. His father threw him out to save him, resulting in all his scars.

I'm still giving Meta Knight his short-range teleport (more of a Flash Step here, really), if only to keep up with all the people with guns. Also his katana is still basically Galaxia, so it can't be broken, but I won't give him his Sword Beams because I think those are a bit much for a wild west setting.

Also, for villains, I think I'll offer up Galacta Knight AKA Evil Meta Knight.

[up]Naw. Galacta Knight don't look like villain. THIS guy would be a better choice.

Well, Dark Meta Knight is a magical Mirror Clone of Meta Knight. The only possible way I could see that working would be to make him an Evil Twin, in which case the two would probably get in a fight immediately and leave me just typing out a fight scene between the two characters (unless the GM is controlling him, but still, I basically wouldn't have a choice of who Meta Knight would fight).

Any other Kirby villain could be passed off as a rogue ronin from Meta's homeland or something, that he knows of but has no personal vendetta against. So he wouldn't automatically have to fight the bad guy I bring in if someone else wants to take him/her out. And I have a lot of options.

Go for Marx or Magalor. Those two are the most plausibly non-Eldritch Abomination.

Probably going with Marx for a villain. I think he's more fun than Magolor. Also, I found a Native American evil spirit that Marx could totally be: The Baykok.
