Last year, Calamity struck.

By that, I mean, the comet entitled "Calamity" locked into orbit around Earth.

Two months ago, the comet Calamity gave off a huge wave of radiation.

The next day, reports of people with strange powers flooded the internet.

Seven weeks ago, Miami and the tip of Florida sunk into the ocean. An Epic calling herself Marianas claimed responsibility for the sinking.

Last week, the US government passed the Capitulation Act, granting all Epics immunity from the law. Epics are seen as natural forces, like hurricanes or earthquakes, above the laws of man.

His arms, well muscled from decades of moving himself around solely on his hands, ripple with tightly-corded muscle. His eyes are grey and glassy, a side effect of decades spent at the bottom of a bottle.

QM, if you're going to run quest on a regular basis one thing you have to do is not decide votes on a feeling.

Also people voting aginst something shouldn't count for anything. Everyone gets a vote, saying you don't like something shouldn't give you two.

Ugh, what time is it?Shit! 5:40 already!

Jumping from the twin bed in your shitty little apartment, Calamity's red light shines through the window. Stripping out of the T-shirt and boxers, you jump into the bathroom. A twin of you hangs above the sink, hair sticking up from sleeping on it. Reaching over from the door, you are easily able to turn on the shower. Once you make it big, you move out of the closet Mrs. Hedgeworth calls an apartment.

You jump into the stream of warm water, feeling the water splatter on you tanned back. You bump into the wall, sending a burst of pain coursing up your side. Fucking Dennis hit you in the ribs, just as the bell rang. It's still a bright purple, but a small amount of alcohol still in your system dulls it.

Epic Powers
Some are self-explanitory, others might need some explanation. Ask for any description, don't have the text space for explanations on everything. All powers start at a low level, getting stronger as time goes on.

QM, hear me out.
As a general rule of thumb you never want to give your players more than 3-4 choices on any one vote. If the want something you don't put down they can write it in.

Secondly, if you want to write a good quest don't just give us a list of powers to choose. Try working it into the story.

For example:

Reeling back from the blow you slam into a scaffolding. It rocks back with a groan just before it's supports give way, falling on top of you.

Choose three of insert another that you want
Power Management: After defeating a fellow Epic, you are able to absorb the last power he used.
Gifting: The ability to gift a portion of your powers to another person. Only works on non-Epics
Epic Sense: The ability to sense when a fellow Epic is nearby. Only activates when they use their powers
Powerstores: The ability to form a battery-like node on the body. When detonated, electrified, hit by an Epic power or hit with enough force, the node will violently give off the stored energy
Invulnerability: Your cells become much stronger and harder, stopping or hindering physical blows. At the beginning, rifle shots feel like paintballs and pistols are BB guns to you
Density Manipulation: You can absorb matter around you, making yourself more dense. The reverse is also possible, making yourself less dense
Flight: You can fly
Vector manipulation: You are able to change the vector of objects, making a piece of gravel punch through steel. Blows that you are expecting can be diverted

You guys seem to think that we've got Superman and Accelerator levels of power.

>>36185424
One we aren't invulnerable yet, just immune to normal weapons, mil-spec would rip us anew one. Vector manipulation proably costs a shit ton of energy so we can do it like once or twice, and any powers we copy come from a kill and start at level 1 tog rind up more than likely.

I doubt we'll start at anything near Accelerator's level. We might be able to redirect 2-3 times before getting put on cooldown.

It quite clearly wasn't.

>>36185157
>Vector manipulation: You are able to change the vector of objects, making a piece of gravel punch through steel. Blows that you are expecting can be diverted
How does vector manipulation make gravel punch through steel? that makes no sense at all.
Also, vector manipulation is indistinguishable from gravity manipulation as long as the amount of force they can exert is equal. If vector manipulation allows more force to be exerted, then it makes gravity a trap option

for that matter, doesn't gravity obsoletes flight?
>>
>>36185482
A properly played faceless man or compelling voice in a position of power is nigh unstoppable if played intelligently.

Flight is likely fast and more forward motion than floaty.

By increasing the velocity of the object to such a state where it can punch through steel.

Completely wrong, terribly wrong.

I never said anything about floating. I said gravity and vector manipulation.
You manipulate gravity on yourself and you can fly in any direction.

>>36185518
Unless he pulls touhou power levels gravity or vectors are better than flight with some practice

It was anti gravity and we likely would start off with shit control to start, flight would be faster and gravity could be used simultaneously to defend while we fly.

There is no such velocity. Air friction would turn it into plasma that melts through the steel before it goes fast enough to punch through it.
And if done in a vacuum, it will not punch a hole, but rather explode.

>>vector manipulation is indistinguishable from gravity manipulation as long as the amount of force they can exert is equal.
>Completely wrong, terribly wrong.
According to your previous claim, vector manipulation isn't changing a vector while maintaining same speed, but actually apply a force of acceleration. This means it is 100% indistinguishable from gravity manipulation for any purpose other than lab tests. Both apply an invisible force on objects at a distance.
Unless perhaps you presume that gravity manipulation cannot apply to a specific object in a specific way and must be poorly controlled, which again, makes gravity a trap option since it is flat out an inferior form of vector manipulation.

So it was, I misremembered it as gravity manipulation.
Now I really do know its a trap option

Anti gravity is crap for defense

Steam wafts up from the floor, coating the glass shower walls. Then someone next door flushes.

Shit! Shit! Hot, hot!

Wait, what the fuck just happened.

Why did the water stop?

Turning around, you are hit in the face with a swirling ball of hot water. You pull back, wiping the water from your eyes. A hole is in the glass door, with the bathroom floor covered in steaming water.

What the FUCK just happened?

Turning off the water, then stepping from the shower, you splash through the water. A bath mat squishes beneath your feet, soaking up the hot water. You walk out of bathroom, wrapping yourself in a blue towel. You throw a few more towels onto the ground, hoping to soak up the water. Toweling off your brown hair, you dress in a t shirt(green) and a pair of black athletic shorts. Plugging into your iPod, you jog down the steps to the ground floor.

Jumping the small stream on your right, you land on the opposite bank. Climbing the dirt slope, you start on your morning run. A few cars pass, blinding you with their brights. Assholes.

You run for a half hour, passing the local park and middle school. On your third lap, a blast goes off in the back of the school. Epics! Maybe you could watch, Youtube has a few videos, but they are all shaky and miss much of the action. Or you could run, like a normal person.

Cool!

There is nothing bad that can happen watching, right?

Running through the open-air hallways, you try to remember your time in John Sutter Middle. Was that the way to the playground or principle's office? You went to both, many times in the few years you were there.

Right, right, left, then straight for a little while, left.

Oh, there it is. And there are two people, dressed in flamboyant clothing, fighting with Epic powers.

Pulling the iPod of your armband, you flip it on. Typing in your password, you unlock the iPod. A swipe and the camera flips on. Peeking your head out from around the corner, you can see one of the Epics shooting pieces of playground equipment at the man in blue.

You kneel watching, and filming, the battle from behind the corner. Minutes go by, both Epics firing off energy beams or steel beams. One of the steel rods stabs into the blue-clad Epic's leg, embedding itself in the wood-chips.

"This is so great," turning the camera around, the iPod films your face for a few seconds. "That blue guy is screwed! He just got stabbed in the leg, there is no way he can recover from this. Wait... He's getting up! He's standing ! How the hell is he doing that? Shit! He just shot the other guy with some beam!

The blue Epic fires off a beam of blue light, catching him as he is jumping between the monkey bars and the swings. He stumbles, one leg encased in ice. As he lands, the leg shatters into pieces.

Metal shards and pipes fly out of the ground, including a copper pipe from underneath you. The metal flies between your legs, dragging a lump of concrete behind it. As it passes, it goes between your legs. The rod connects, pulling you forward. Oddly, it doesn't hurt much. Like landing too hard after jumping from a roof.

One of the Epics, the blue one, looks over when you shout. He starts to raise his arm, pointing his palm at you.
>Run!

"Any last words, subject?" The blue clad Epic asks, raising his arm to point at your torso.

"Yes, only three" You answer. The Epic watches you for a moment, waiting for your words. When you stay silent, he shrugs.

And fires a a beam at you.

You throw a right hook, instinctually fighting back.

His arm swings to the left, spraying down a line of concrete. It paints it a glittering grey, which cracks loudly in the dawn air.

Then he gets stabbed by a monkey bar.

He shifts his attention back to the Epic, getting impaled again and again by playground equipment.

Beams from the blue Epic's hands hit the legless Epic's steel beams, coating them in ice. They shatter into shards of steel, each one smaller than a fingertip. Those pieces break further, into invisible threads of metal.

A beam of cold breaks through the man's guard, hitting him in the head. The head breaks when he falls, glittering red shards lining the wood chips. The ice Epic then turns to you, his body forcing out the steel beams.

Punching at the man's groin, you feel a wave of energy extend from your fist. He doubles over in pain, his legs flying upwards while his face falls to the ground. He connect, headfirst, making a small flip in the air. His face drags along the ground, head bent back. A pipe falls out of his body, coated in blood. As it falls, a trail of mist follows, the pipe freezing the moisture in the air.

You run forward, your iPod in your shirt pocket. The man lifts his head, wood slivers lodged in his skin. He looks something like a hedgehog, quills made up old grey wood. Blood streams down his face, the wounds on his face slowly healing. Odd, the wounds on his body healed much quicker.

He raises his hand, pointing the palm at you. He must be disoriented, as his hand wobbles violently. Ducking and weaving, you can feel the air get colder as you close on him.

Within arms distance, your sweat freezes, forming a white crust on your skin. The Epic seems to give up on his ice powers, wobbling to his feet. He throws a punch, startling fast. However, its a wild haymaker and you easily get your arm up to block it.

However, the blow forces it's way through your defense. It feels like someone just hit your arm with a sledgehammer.

"How are you still standing? I've killed Epics stronger that you with a flick." The man pauses, then starts mumbling to himself, "He must be invincible. Or... wait. What is that in your pocket? Are you filming me?!?!

The Epic punches forward, a straight jab directed at your chest. You block, clashing arm against arm. The man's arm goes flying, swinging him around. As he turns back around, you hammer fist into his neck.

Wow, thats cold! You pull back the hand, feeling skin stick to his neck. A bit of blood flows from your hand, streaming down your wrist.

More can be said for Frosty, whose head dug a hole into the ground. Blood trickles into the concrete bowl he created, steadily rising.

You walk forward, poking the motionless body with your Nikes. No response. You lean over the crater, easily a foot deep, looking at the bloody head. The eyes, green with a bit of brown, have popped out a good half inch. The jaw hangs open, tongue lolling out.

Using the banned "curb stomp", you begin jumping up and down atop the Epic's head. Blood splashes out of the crater, soaking your socks and coating your calves. Cold blood drips down your legs, the skull breaking into pieces. The white bone pokes out of his skin, cutting a hole in the side of your shoe. God damn, those costed like, 200 dollars.

Leaving the Epic, you start walking away from the playground. Unless you have anything else to do?

>>
You walk to the other Epic, shoes squelching with each step. A line of bloody shoe prints follow behind you, the dawn sun lighting up the world red. In the bark, lies the headless Epic. You kneel, poking his prone body. A wave of...something knocks you off your feet. Your eyes feel hot, like when you are sick. Your head hurts a little, like you got sucker punched upside the head.
>Steel Manipulation Gained!

"I'mmmm backkkk"

You spin, looking at the fallen Epic. Looks like he got back up.

The blue Epic is standing back up, his head and shoulders covered in blood. His shirt and cape(what a weirdo) are pure red, streaking the blue cloth. His hands come up, both palms covered in frozen blood.

Changing >>36188010
Liquify steel around his lower body then hardening it trapping him
>>
almost done, sorry about forgetting to tell you
>>
>>36188230
rather than liquify, just wrap steel bars around him until his hands can't be moved. then his feet as well. that is, one band for his hands, one for his feet.
Then we can seal his mouth and nose to let him suffocate. Even if his healing factor can handle suffocation. it would leave him perpetually unconscious. At that point we can dump him into the molten steel of a steel mill... or in the ocean with cement shoes.
>>
>>36188533
or just destroy his head and pour molten metal in the holes.
>>
>>36188533
But he might free the metal while it's encasing him
>>
>>36188597
Destroy body incase it in metal. Keep doing so til we get one of his powers.
>>
"How are you still alive?" you ask, feeling your eyes burn.
"Regeneration, bitch. Great for this, shitty for when I'm shootin' up" The Epic fires off two beams of cold, straight at you.

You dive to the side, shoulder rolling across the playground. You hit a steel beam, part of the slide. The metal bends, curving around your back.

Hiding behind a plastic plate, you stand back up. You pull up your fists, feeling steel pull from wood and steel break from the slide. The alloy forms up in front of you, a shifting ball of liquid steel. Then the plastic behind you shatters.

You run between the wooden supports, dodging blasts of ice. Once free from the maze of logs, a crack accompanies a crash, as the play structure falls to the ground.

You shoot out a shot of liquid metal, wrapping it around his hand. The metal closes around his hand, then shatters as he fires off a shot of cold. Trying again, you fire a bolt around his legs. It catches, wrapping him up. He hops, then is pushed over by a blast of force from your fist.

On the ground, the Epic struggles to free himself. A second bolt of steel wraps his arms up, and he is stuck with his hands at his side. He fires off blasts, freezing the wood chips. You cover his face in the remainder of the steel. He struggles more and more, before slowly stopping. The metal around his arms and legs bend, his strength pulling the steel bonds apart.

Clog his heart with steel. Sever his spine and put a steel plate between it and his brain, etc.

eventually discard the corpse in the ocean just in case.

No filming. That's a really bad idea.

Filling his body with metal is a much better one.

Also, I really hope this turns into a "People with Powers" kinda quest instead of a "Superhero and villain" quest.

The former has a tendency to be more interesting.

After changing this guy into steel statue we should liquefy it again and then throw into rive or something
Of course after we will absorb one of his OP as fuck powers
>>
Pulling rebar from the concrete below, you stab the steel bars through the man's head and torso. The rebar goes through easily, stabbing through the unconscious Epic's bones.

You liquify a few of the rebars, then force them into the holes in his head. The liquid metal flows into his skull, metal displacing grey matter. The strain of acontrolling the metal wears on you, the sun rising off the ground. You release the metal, letting it flow away from the man. The metal pools in the depressions, forming to the wood chips.

The man's holes slowly fill, pushing out the steel inside him. His eyes open, ready to fight once more. You stomp down on his head, caving in a small part of his skull. His eyes go glassy, unfocased. Seems like he cant die, or you need to know his weakness.

All Epics, while often disturbingly strong, have a weakness. None know it, at least until they chance upon it. On Epic, in Sweden, could only be killed if 37 people were shooting at her at once.

You pull off your shirt, wrapping it around your hand. You grab hold of his cape(lol, fag), then pull him through the playground. He starts to wake up, then falls asleep again when you stomp on his head.

A trail of blood trails behind you as you drag the man along the pavement. One wrong turn takes you to the English rooms, where you stab the man with a ruler. Backtracking, you punch through the window on the Science building. You lift up the unconscious man, then throw him through the broken window. Using your wrist to break the glass, you vault into the room.

Fourteen wooden desks face the teacher's desk, with a Smartboard(tm) between two whiteboards, with a model of an atom on the left one. You kick the man in the head for five minutes, watching it slowly reform.

You open a small box in the wall, remembering Mr. Iberson's demonstration. Turning the knob, the smell of gas fills the room. In a locked cabinet(surprisingly weak), a soda can-sized glass bottle has chunks of grey metal in oil.

Cutting holes in the man's torso and head, you put the bottle inside his body. The chest closes around the bottle, locking in place next to his heart. Closing the cabinet, you grab one of the fire-starters in the teacher's desk. Lighting the Bunsen burner, you set your iPod up to film the Epic, leaned up against a stack of textbooks.

A heavy force to the chest breaks the bottle, and the man's chest light up purple. You throw the burner into the corner of the room, then jump out the window.

A wave of heat and flame blast out behind you, burning your back. You sit next to the door, waiting for the Potassium and Methane to burn out. Eight minutes later, the flames have stopped.

Forcing the door off it's hinges, you walk to the Epic. His chest is still glowing a faint purple, the alkali metal still burning in his chest. His body has been reduced to a charred husk, his skull blackened by fire and flesh roasted to beef jerky.

Poking his ribs, flesh soughs off the body. A rush of heat goes through your body, burning up your eyes. Your hand starts to scab over, the bleeding halting.
>Regeneration Gained
You now heal at a much higher rate, scrapes scabbing over in a minute, deep wounds heal in a day.

Burned desk husks have been scattered by the blastwave, pushed up against the walls. The whiteboards have melted, dripping down the wall. The plastic chairs have melted as well, metal legs coated in blue plastic.

Leaving the classroom, you walk out of the school. Your iPod has been destroyed by the heat, melted into useless silicon chips and plastic. The video might be up in the Cloud, if the WiFi here is on.

Leaving the burned and frozen corpses to traumatize children in the fifth grade, you start your run home. The cold blood squelches out of your Nikes as you run, leaving droplets of blood along the side of the road.

Twenty minutes later, you reach your apartment complex. Standing for a moment in the stream, you wash the blood from your legs. Jogging up the flight of stairs to your apartment, you throw the ruined shoes into the garbage and hop back in the shower. Washing away the blood, brains, and bone shards, you exit into the steamed up room.

Putting on a pair of non-bloodstained shorts, you grab your laptop. The iPod was able to transmit up to it's final minutes, showing you leap out of the building. A wave of blue flame envelopes the room, making the camera stream go dark.

Downloading it from the Cloud, you delete it from Cloud. Ever since the Fappening, you haven't trusted Apple security. Checking your calendar, you see the following items:
>2pm-8pm shift at the gym
>Dry-cleaning at 3683 3rd street, 8:30

step 1: turn off the gas
step 2: leave, stop by a walmart, buy a 10$ disposable phone WITH CASH, pay with cash. make sure its not the walmart you normally shop at but a different one.
Use the phone to call the police
>Hello police, I am an Epic, although I prefer to not reveal my identity

Then destroy and discard that phone in a random trash can.

Keep in mind epics are technically above the law, but any epics playing hero might work with the police and having that info in the report could prevent us from being hunted down for double murder.

You open up the iMovie, then upload your video. Due to your limited skill with computers, it takes a few minutes to set up the program. Once it's set up though, you are able to insert a black circle on your face and delete the audio of you. Due to it's location in your shirt pocket, it didn't get much video of you, just the school hallways and playground. You remove the few seconds out of the six minute video, including the time when you spoke to the camera.

You lock up the house, then get into your car(choose a make and model). The one good thing about living near the suburbs, everything is close by. No need to use your car, seeing how Walmart is only a few minutes walk away. However, it's easier to drive when you have to carry extra stuff. You park in the back of the Walmart parking lot, close to the local McDonalds. You open the laptop, then log into the WiFI there. Leaving the computer under the steering wheel, you swipe a cart at the entrance.

Loading it with groceries for a few days, you throw in a few random purchases in alongside two disposable cell phones. The cashier looks up at you when he sees the line of a barbie doll, condoms, and lube. Seeing your imposing frame, he quickly looks back down.

Loading up your car, you check on the download. Still ten minutes left. You have some time, might as well check out the internet

Going onto /ep/, a number of threads hare on the front page. One on how they are the harbingers of the 2nd Coming, a few on which one is the best(Steelheart leading from your count), and two on their weaknesses. There is a tripfag, calling himself "The Reckoner", that started both threads.
>Start a new thread?
>Insert OP

Going to /fit/, many threads seam to be ignoring Calamity. All Epics seem to be built, becoming stronger and more aesthetic without working out. Scooby has been ousted by /fit/, claiming that Calamity has made him non-natty. A few threads in the catalog are full of advice on lifting, but most are on >tfw no gf.

The video is fully loaded by now, and you pull out of the parking lot. One the way, you call the police.

"Hello police, I am an Epic, although I prefer to not reveal my identity. I have recently come across a fight between two epics, the winner, after beheading his foe, attacked me as well. Claiming to be a king and saying all his subjects must be killed by him. I was forced to kill him in self defense. I am not going to go on any murder sprees. They are both found at John Sutter." You say, as you drive in circles around town. Closing the phone, you use your powers to launch the phone over the nearby building.

It's nice that we are good (for now) but the more we use our power the more evil we will become. Unless we are an exception. Also if you don't have an npc named Hoid I'll cut you.
>>
>>36192457
Action: go to abandoned location and test the limits of your powers, also fuck work you don't need a job, your an epic. If you want something just take it.
>>
>>36192457
Get some new shoes and clean yourself up. Maybe try to get a handle on your powers.
>>
>>36192595
We might not be doomed to be evil. If we can get our hands on a grifter and get that power and then gift our powers to a few obedient friends we might not go full edge.

Yo guys I got power to consume powers of epics I killed
Does anyone know any epics that can summon eggs around (Insert our city here)
>>
>>36192805

This is a terrible idea.
>>
>>36192805
BAD IDEA! You would be giving away that an epic with that power exists and there general location. Trust me in this world the less is known about your powers the better, even if they don't know that they're your powers
>>
>>36192805
NO!
>>
>>36192735
I don't see a problem with this. Let's do it.
>>
>>36192735

Strip the video of any identifying information in the code. Date, time, GPS coordinates, etc.
>>
>>36192805
Id4 we find dum ass epics posting there location as a challenge to anyone to fight them

Did he die?(this is serious, with Epics you can't always be sure)

Looks shopped, skips around in parts

LOL! I could beat the fuck out of both these guys. Got shot by a tank, then punched the tank till it died

^^^Pics or gtfo

You drive to the nearby Big5, where they have a large amount of shoes, sparring gear, fire arms, and fishing gear. You find two pairs of running shoes and a pair of nice hiking boots, which have a Epic cloth for the sides. Epics have been studied, mostly before Miami, for advances in technology. Anti-gravity is achievable now, along with a new fiber that is more resistant to cuts.
>Buy a gun?
>>
>>36193187
Do they have a potato gun?

Or a cork gun maybe?

How about a pea shooter?
>>
>>36193187
What kind of gun? Rifle or handgun? (Book joke)
>>
>>36193302
Both
>>
>>36193187
Wait with this taking place over a decade before the events in the book, are super fucking powerful guns with electron compression magazines that hold 800 rounds and gravatonics making it light exists yet?
>>
>>36193187
Not really relevant don't need one.
>>
>>36193389
Sorry, this is me
>>
>>36193187
I say get a hand gun. With our fighting style being up close it would be best.
>>
>>36193402
its about five years back.

electron compression magazines might hold 500 instead, with only a bit of gravatonics
>>
>>36193403
We might. We can make someone thing we will shoot them when we vector shift instead
>>
>>36193282
>>36193302
with metal manip, we don't need a gun. just magneto the bullets
>>
>>36193485
5 years? Oh ok. How hard is it to got our hands on one of those?
>>
>>36193547
But if we get in a long fight we might not have enuf energy to magneto stuff. So having one for emergencies would be good
>>
>>36193620
If the fight is long enough for our regen and invulnerability to not cut it on defense I doubt a hand gun would be helpful.
>>
>>36193566
none are available, plus no power cells from Conflex. Other Epics have been studied, however. Looks like you have to find a dealer.
>>
>>36193620
I don't see the gun ever working against epics anyways... but meh, it can't hurt to have one. besides, it can help us maintain our cover. and we can even use metal manip to mess with the firing patterns on the bullets to throw off any attempt to link us to a crime scene.

Anyways, I think what we need to do is
1. find a place to practice (and do so)
2. see if we can find a job that uses our power to make good money. Our fast food job sucks and now that we have epic powers we might as well put them to good use raising our quality of life
3. Research epics, who are the famous ones. who is a self appointed judge jury and executioner of their fellow epics. major team ups. any work for the government?
>>
>>36193661
...trust me, you would be amassed how much a hand gun can do in this world. Expressly with how some powers and weaknesses work. Ever have to checkmate a precog with out one? Shits hard
>>
>>36193708
We're a PT and MMA fighter
>>
>>36193737
oh? I misremembered then, i remember there was a fast food option in the char gen, for some reason i thought it won.
In that case, our job is awesome... but can we really still do it now that we are an epic? without revealing our identity?
>>
>>36193781
Considering we have invulnerability with regen? MMA would be massively unfair for us. Not counting Vectors.
>>
Funfact: We still can use vectors with our metal magic
>>
>>36193708
With epics it's hard for them not to fight. It's like a highlander thing, they are compelled to fight. But that's mostly out of wanting to prove dominance.

please tell me, where in my post do you see me use the words good and evil.

Hay QM, I know that we don't know our weakness, but do you? I just want to know if you have one in mind.

reminds of the PS238 where one of the villains runs an evil school for metahuman kids, to protect humanity from them. He theorizes that the whole villain/hero thing, with the capes and flashy clothes, is an elaborate mating ritual. And that the result of meta/meta pairings are more powerful meta, eventually culminating in potentially world ending metas. So he attempts to stop that via social engineering.

Ok you never said good or evil so I guess it might work, they will probably be an ass hole tho

>Ok you never said good or evil so I guess it might work, they will probably be an ass hole tho
Oh I am SURE such guys are major assholes.
I didn't mean to research them so that we will team up with them. But so we will know to beware them and avoid getting on their hit list.

Rifle? Y/N?
Pistol Y/N?
Moist Nugget Y/N?

I just hope it nothing shitty. But don't reveal it outright. Us and the character won't know what part of the situation around him is his weakness, just that it's there some where. I could be anything.

I originally argued the same, but then I realized we can use the gun to help pretend to be a muggle. And if we ever do fire it, we can use metal manip to change the fingerprint of the rifling to avoid tying it to the crime scene, as an alibi
>>
Right now hand gun has most votes
>>
>>36194439
Hand gun definitely anything bigger would be unwieldy in a fight. Plus this way we have a free hand to bend bullets.

Vector control AND metal control. double whammy!

An employee walks up from the back room, an AR-15 in his hand. The man sets the rifle in the gun rack, clipping a pink price tag onto the trigger guard. You wave him over, and he comes like an obedient dog.

"How can I help you today, sir?" The clerk asks. Dressed in a black collared shirt and cargo shorts, with short cropped black hair.

"Hello. I've been thinking about getting a firearm recently, for protection. What would you suggest?" You ask the employee.

"Well, a handgun is more concealable and easier to keep with you. My everyday carry is a Glock 19, fires a .45 caliber bullet. We have three in stock, ready for purchase. There are also an assortment of long guns, if you're interested in home defense."

"Thanks, a pistol is all I really need, can you ring me up here, or do I have to wait?"

"Nope, I can give you it right now. Thanks to the new laws because of Calamity, you can get close to any gun you want. I have two full-autos back at home. Got to love knee jerk reactions to Epics."

The asian man pulls a black handgun out from the glass case, after unlocking it. He scans a barcode on the desk, then puts the weapon in a cardboard box. He then places a box of .45 ammo, with a hundred rounds inside.

"Comes free with the purchase of a new gun."

The man also rings up your shoes, putting them in a bag with your gun. You leave the building, placing the bag in the trunk of your car.
>It's now noon

>>36194864
Relax check the news maybe practice a few small applications of your power, get ready for work. Wind down and relax.
>>
>>36194864
See if anything interesting has been posted in /ep/. Else, git gud with the steel and vector.
>>
>>36194864
>>36194901
That is a good idea.
For practice, i think we should focus on our vector manip to basically do TK in day to day activities. We can work on fine manipulation by levitating a beer out of the fridge and then opening the cap without damaging the bottle. Levitating an apple and then slicing it with our powers. and peeling it too.
When cooking, lift the food straight out of the pan, use it to control fork and knife, etc.
>>
>>36194983
We control fucking vectors not gravity
Doing shit like this is fucking master level vectoring
>>
>>36194864
Go to a shooting range, practice shooting and manipulating the shit with powers
