Here's a thought; lasers are technically light, right? And vampires are weak to light. So shouldn't Raymond's lasers vaporize vampires on contact?

Depends, is the laser actually a laser, or is it just a beam of pain? If its magic, it might not technically count as light.

[up]It's magic, but it's very bright; here's example from my WIP post:

'With that in mind, Raymond let lose a blinding laser of colored energy...'

It's magic, but I think if it's that bright, it might still count.

Well, I suppose it depends more on if the vampire is sensitive to light or some holy aspect of natural light. Though I suppose magic might just inherently be better at harming magic anyways.

[up]Well, the plan was to use the laser to cut the dog in half. I just wanted to know if I could take this to the logical conclusion and vaporize the thing.

[up]1.It's self-defense, not cold-blooded murder. The dog attacked us first. Big difference there. 2.As far as Raymond's concerned, it's not just a cold-blooded vampire, but vicious rabid one. He's not going to risk both himself and Samson getting killed by what he sees as a dangerous creature. However, as my post would reveal, Raymond's tussled with vampires once or twice; he still doesn't know their weaknesses, but that's because he's never needed to. He tried to use his mind-control powers, but seeing as hypnotism is some vampire's thing, but it didn't work; there was no choice but use the laser. And since his guns probably wouldn't do a thing, that means using the laser.

One hit kill vampire destroying laser does seem a bit broken, regardless of the limited chances to exploit it. Perhaps, since vampirism seems able to mutate, the effectiveness of the laser varies? So some vampires you can end up vaporizing, while others need multiple hits.

[up]Sounds fair. So what about the dog? Seeing as it's the first vampire we'll be coming across, how about we just get rid of this one in one hit, and then later ones can be a bit more durable? It'd also show Samson that Raymond can hold his own in a vampire fight.

Sounds fine to me. Oh yeah, Samson's gauntlet can be charged with magic. Thus his ice attacks and the Devil Blasts in Liliana's backstory. He could probably channel someone else's magic if he makes contact. So a Mind Blast there if we want to defeat the Bosspire with a teamwork thing.

Would it be okay if I made at least two NPCs for each Ward? Oh, speaking of NPCs, are Gods allowed to retain their incestuous origins? Cause I already worked on a mini-sheet for Melione, and it works on the idea that having Zeus twice in her linage resulted in her having a bunch of raw power that kind of drove her insane.

Two NPCs per ward is... excessive. That'd give you 30 NPCs to control, at least, which means you'd effectively have control over as many characters as the entire rest of the players. =/ What do you even need so many NPCs for anyway?

Also, we're not on Earth but an Earth-analog, so being the descendant of the Zeus probably won't work.

I was only planning to actually control one of them, and he's suppose to end up dead after his first event. I'm mainly doing this so Wards with less characters have some NPCs the players can use. Regarding Zeus...

"However, beyond demons there are many inhabitants of other myths, such as from the Egyptian and Greek Pantheon". That's mentioned in the Underland Ward segment, and I figured if Underworld Gods then why not Zeus?

But you're not the GM. A player doesn't need that many random NPCs lying around.

Also, when daltar says pantheon, I think she means mythology, since there's no explicit mention of gods but just the generic "inhabitants."

Each of these NPCs, sans the one I specified, are meant for anyone to use. I even designed Starline Melione (who is an actual Greek figure) to encourage people to use radically different portrayals. Besides, I'm only doing this because Silicon Street has mostly been the target of focus, I don't benefit by doing this.

EDIT: Oh yeah, this just got me thinking. Clawthewolf and Peldms63, could I provide an NPC for the ERIU? I was thinking someone who can telekinetically mold non-magical non-living material into a suit for themselves.

I'm sure people are capable of coming up with NP Cs on their own as the need arises.

If we need an NPC we're perfectly capable of making our own.

@ everyone I talked to about my next scene: I'll be contacting you each in-game shortly, and once everyone is set we will get started on the actual mission. Aiming to start on that bit by Monday morning at the latest :D :D

Well, I admit, I do want to keep making more concepts for this. I was also going to set up each of said NPCs in a way that their character isn't exactly pre-defined (so while a general rundown of their intended personality and bonds/enemies, the specifics can be decided). I just meant this as a gesture of my like for this, and didn't want to offend anybody.

So starting on Sunday morning, I'm going to be on a trip to Switzerland and Italy. I won't be unable to post, but my posts will be during what is likely the middle of the night for everyone else here. Just letting you all know.

Welp, I'm just going assume NPC concepts get dumped in the Signups for daltar to peruse like any other sheet. Anyways, CATS and Taco, I'm curious about your lich & ghoul slaying plan: Will they attack a truly evil individual, or what?

Mattrin has neither the intelligence nor the attention span to bother discriminating between "truly evil" and "not-truly evil" liches, unless the lich's being "good" is somehow spelled out really clearly for him. Other than that there's no "plan" really I'm just going one post at a time.

Cen and Mattrin are gonna go into The Hollow and pick fights. I'll figure something out. Starbound's got some plot involving Mattrin and Vy so we might be getting there.
