Omniverse One

So, new idea for a superhero team. They're based, conceptually, on the seven planets of classical astronomy. No clue as to an origin story, but I'd like for them to gain their powers together. Their characterisation is pretty bare-bones as well, shamefully (damn, I haven't even given them all a team ...

I hope this story just isn't an excuse to laugh at me for all my bad ideas...

Please don't use this as an excuse to remove all my Comix stuff. I know most of it wasn't all that good, but still...

Oh, and give Ludwig a badass death scene. Maybe he turns to the side of good and sacrifices himself to save the day, I dunno. Just make it cool.

I've been mostly on SB and playing World of Warcraft. Also afraid to flex my creative muscles after my last attempt devolved into a load of stupid offensive nonsense entirely by my own fault. Right now I have an idea for a Comix superteam, but I'm unsure whether to bother since this whole place ...

'kay, that's fine, just thought I'd try and help.

My skill at Biblical exegesis is probably quite low but I will try and help clarify some things, give some support and such:

1. The Beast of Revelation with all them horns and crowns isn't a literal big scary sea monster but an allegorical view of an incredibly powerful and evil empire which rises ...

Is that dinosaur cavalry you have there? And what in God's name is "rocketeer cavalry"? Financed by a cereal company of all people?

Haven't read the story proper yet - is it some sort of parody of my old stupid Comix characters? If so, good job. Add an inane reference or two to a contemporary musician and you have a perfect send-up of all my crap writing.
Depends on what you mean by 'parody', I guess, but probably not. I ...

Glad to see OF is back! Considering that it got me involved in the OZ forums in the first place I hope it generates some new activity (even Comix has slowed to a crawl :( ). So are we keeping the Earth-gets-blown-up-and-everyone-migrates-to-the-stars history from last time or is it something ...

Hmm, it never does say gods benefit from drinking each other's ichor, does it? Only the true life-force within the heart matters, which would make sense as why gods tend to protect their hearts with the biggest and most badass bodies possible. The bit about a god's ability to regrow its body from ...

In fact everything's more or less the size of countries, I note. That might create problems of scale where the rest of the world is concerned - how is the whole ball of wax not a ruin after two thousand years of country-sized godzillas throwing down with each other?

Also the effects of luminium ...

Rewrite of an old thing I didn't follow up on.

Will be updated.

GODSWAR
THE HISTORY

Once, the world was at (relative) peace. The gods lived on the cloud-city pinnacle of Immutable Othrys, a mountain that rose from the deepest depths of the sea to the highest vaults of the sky, and mortal ...

So what's your loot?

My present list consists of:

*Olympos by Dan Simmons
*Fable III
*Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
*Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
*Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook
*Plato's Republic
*The 400th anniversary edition of the King James Bible

among other things.

12/21/2012 has come upon us - REPENT!

Maybe there can be a project called ABEL as well?

Read Dan Simmons' Illium on my kindle last night. Suffice to say, this post contains spoilers.


The multi-threaded narrative was highly interesting to say the least. The continuous shifts between the Jovian robots ('moravecs'), the post-civilised eloi and the Trojan War re-enactment left me unable ...

(who are these people anyway and how did they get a hydrogen bomb?)

There's a bit more information HERE .

As for how they got hold of a device, I'm undecided.

Ah, so they're basically Mythos cultists. Did Lovecraft exist in this universe?

The new US civil war lasts 80 years ? Or does the US ...

Er, it's going to take a lot of explanation to get a 2nd US Civil War in just 8 years. How did this 'Star Kvlt' (who are these people anyway and how did they get a hydrogen bomb?) get to simultaneously nuke D.C. and murder all designated survivors at the same time? 'People on the inside' doesn't ...

Does anybody have any idea what Comixverse NYC is like? I don't recall any characters being active there (aside from Doctor Difference) or anything else touching on it.

Just a random question, possibly touching on a character I'm developing.

Fuck, I'm in New York.

Awesome.

Dream #1 was a YA novel about parasitic aliens invading Earth that I was reading. The aliens had UFOs and...well, I don't recall it exactly, but it involved vats and pods of green fluids, as well as other weird stuff.
The Amimorphs ? It had parasitic aliens that could only survive in pools of ...

Could be a warning to you to keep away from that new Stephanie Meyer's book ...

I think this bears mentioning.

I had two weird dreams in a row the past few nights, and oddly enough, they were both about the same thing.

Incredibly belatedly, yes.
