The Good, The Bad and The Spandex: Discussion Thread

Sorry, I keep misspelling Eisendrachen. How about having her fight Dawn? Since nobody else seems to care at the moment.

That would work.

OK, so I know that I'm pretty much inactive anyway but there's no way I'm going to be able to keep up with this so I'm formally dropping out. Feel free to use either character as an NPC if you want.

Sorry to hear that Ferrous. Feel free to return anytime.

Damn. I completely forgot about Dusk/Dawn.

Whoops

So anyway, Gatekeeper and Copy 3 seemed to have settled their differences (thank goodness, I wasn't prepared for a full fight scene) and Roken has taken the opportunity to slip through. So begins the start of hell, both for me trying to write Roken, and for Easton.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had a cold and the medicine made me sleepy.

Are you feeling alright now? If not, get well soon!

No problem, man. Get well soon!

Get well soon, mate.

Edit: Btw, Kaalban, if Gatekeeper agrees to go with 3, do you mind Elizabeth having an extra guest? I should have asked before I posted, but I is a dumb, so bleugh.

Liz wouldn't mind having another guest, don't worry. Everyone, except for villains, is welcome.

Well, that's nice. Unless Gatekeeper refuses, which would be hilariously awkward

Yeah- at the moment, though, Gate is coming with. If you weren't fine with it, Kaal, though, I would've had him refuse.

I have a question regarding the Void. Can Eldritch beings in the Void try to get through the dimension hole that Valan (Gatewatcher) creates?

That sounds... terrifying. We could have an Avengers situation here, if so.

Oh, and Rine can still use Rifts, he just doesn't know the city well enough to recklessly open one and jump through. Copy 1 had to give him coordinates, at least, before he went bleugh.

Hopping dimensions is also out of the question. If he could, it would be limited to to specific coordinates. The Void is a possibility, but he may not survive. Rine has always been a bit of a Glass Cannon.

I just had an idea... what if Void beasts and Parasites combine? It could be explained that Parasites' matter becoming unstable and merging with something... Oh, no...

That would explain the massive Parasite too. It could also be how Corrupted Copies come to be.

I have a new concept. About mummies:

Mummies.

Long ago, in Egypt, Egyptian magicians conducted a spell on a mummy. This spell was supposed to bring the mummy back to life if his (or her) sleep was ruined (either someone stole the things in the tomb, or entered the tomb without permission) so that they can curse the intruder. It was a safeguard against the thieves, and it was pretty successful.

Not now, though. As archaeologists go inside pyramids and other forms of tombs for research purposes, they unintentionally awaken these mummies. However, these undead must go to the person himself (or herself) to curse him. Only then they can go to sleep again. Some succeeded, most did not.

These mummies usually have some form of magical abilities, with pharaos being the strongest. Mummies are also immortal (to be more precise, they can't die of natural causes). They can be killed.

Despite what people may think, they don't look like haggard corpses. It's because they use masquerading magic to hide their real appearance (being a haggard corpse) to look like... a person.

Most just live their immortal lives, doing things that might interest them. Many joined Foundation for the Future, since their caste system reminded of their own former society. And pharaos of Foundation also think they are rightful rulers of Earth.

All those stories about Curse of Pharaoh? All done by mummies. Though some of them were merciful enough to not curse the archaeologist and his family. Really, it depends on the personality of the mummies whether the intruder will be cursed or not.

But, even after cursing the 'thief', they can't go back to the underworld. So, they wander the Earth. Some already died, because of wars mostly.

Most people don't know when they see the mummy, since they disguise themselves as normal looking humans (masquerading). When they get revealed, however, they leave as quickly as possible, with new identity.

Well, immortal isn't quite the right word if they can't die of natural causes. But other than that, seems interesting. May need a bit of work though.

Alright, quick note- sorry for the instant transportation, but actually taking the time to interact in the Void would probably have rather... unpleasant... effects on Three. After all, the absence of light, heat, and air tends to be unpleasant for most creatures xD

The mummies thing might work with my next Android.

I know what Silence is talking about, and I agree. Just explain why every pharaoh unearthed ever hasn't resulted in a curse or at least a mummy encounter, and I'll approve them.

Re: The Void- I should point out The Traveler cannot open portals himself but he can use any he finds, natural or otherwise. He also adapts to any environment near-instantly so he would survive even The Void.

Had another character idea to tie into the animal-people haters: A mental survivor of their Loyalty experiments.

Hm, when will Fyodor be taken into Fae-land?

I'm working on it.

Sorry I have been both busy AND sick recently.

Idea: How about if we have The Queen of Air and Darkness (aka as Mab) be the kidnapper? Emily, want to take a crack at developing her?

S-Sorry, didn't want to pressure you...
