Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

[Lemming]

Nothing else to add, I'm not well versed in magic so I'll have to talk about it with someone who is.

Well, for spell focus I was thinking some kind of "anchor" which allows the D-jumper to lock on to a specific dimension allowing him to come home. An object, rune, anything that you use to focus the magic you are using for the spell. Then you could use that focus point to pinpoint where you came from and reverse the spell.
A component is anything consumed during the casting of the spell. Like a focus but focuses aren't consumed and can be used over and over, while components are one use only.
And I like the stargate-type-theme for the base, because I originally envisioned D-jump as being a stargate-type-thing, minus the ring. Plus more computer controls. And I have some ideas how to integrate that with the being a cast spell.

Just as an added bonus Home Base has certain divisions, Security, Quarantine, Maintenance things like that so you could probably lead one of those.

Mmm... Maybe something to do with maintenance...

Robot slave army to carry ze loot. But that would be far less comedic, no?

Go ahead...

EDIT: Here is the cliched latin to implement in the insignia

novus universitas novus scientia

[Shades of Gray]

Not "semper ubi sub ubi?"

[X2]

Not "semper ubi sub ubi?"

What does that mean?

[BRC]

Boom, TJH comic up. The good guys are about to get a rain of high-explosives. Oh yeah, and the tyrant-guy is back in his fortress foundry, he's not nearby.

[Shades of Gray]

Literally: Always where under where.

Now just replace where with wear.

Character Concept for Diskord (hell version)

Not sure he looks evil enough....

Not evil enough? Are you trying to make Sauron look like Ned Flanders?

[Fay Graydon]

Not evil enough? Are you trying to make Sauron look like Ned Flanders?

Yes....
But I'm not sure about his groin area and legs...
what could I add?
(he's bigger than normal ppl tooo ^^)

[Shades of Gray]

EVIL GROIN!

[BRC]

There is no way I am drawing those wings...

As for the evilness, My Machinists now look downright adorable in comparison...

[X2]

Add shoulderpads...

Yeah, sorry, I'm just gonna draw a big grey block and say 'look! Diskord's turned himself into a giant block for teh duration of this comic! Egads!'.

[BRC]

My plan, at the beginning of every comic I draw him in, the Machinists will shoot shells at him, blowing up his wings. After the comic is done, he can regenerate them or something.

[X2]

My TJH comic.
Sorry about the low quality, I was rushed. Now I'm off for my usual 5 minutes of sleep...

What the heck...!?

[Fay Graydon]

*Shadow appears on floor*
Machinists: "LOOK OUT! IT'S DISKORD THE LORD OF DEMISE! SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM!!!!"
*Explosions*
*Diskord land's in a piles of shattered wingbones without a scratch (or maybe a single scratch) on him*
Diskord: "Those things are very hard to wire back on you know....!"

any ideas for lower body coverage?
that still make him look badass?

Also:
Diskord > than Sauron Flanders.

That's pretty much what I had planned. I should write some stuff up about the Machinists...

[X2]

Can someone edit the wiki to include X2 and a brief plot summary of TJH?

[Grim ranger]

Can TJH still be joined? I know the portal is about to close, but I think character can enter different ways, or am I wrong? And I would have just neat concept for villain character...

And with all these villains (hopefully mine as well when I get around on finishing his template and story), some very amusing Eviler Than Thou-moments are bound to crop up as pecking order of evil is settled

About to close? Its closed now... but I doubt a villain character would use the same portal the protaganists use.

[Grim ranger]

Well, that makes sense I guess. Besides, my very basic concept of him is chaos personified (not necessarily ultimately evil, just so random and chaotic as one can be), and his aim is to spread chaos and confusion everywhere he walks. Or so it seems . So I guess other portal could pop out somewhere in fiery nevada

Now I just have to draw up the basics... this will take a while I recon

[Ninja Chocobo]

There is no problem. I, myself, am planning on entering via a conveniently placed 'jump'.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I've added a page on Incarnum to the ABR wiki with just about everything I know of it, hopefully that'll lay rest to any disputes regarding the plane.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

But I'm not sure about his groin area and his legs.
what could I add?

I'd make a comment here. But I'm too mature for that. <.<

Give him some boots, or maybe wrap some chains or something around his legs.

tiff...I have no clue how you have that program that's cost is in the quadruple digits..

Well I'm only installing flash 8 on this old junkbox, not cs4. Flash 8 is only in the triple digits.

[DoomITP]

tiff...I have no clue how you have that program that's cost is in the quadruple digits...

anyways, I'm trying to make the black lines on my characters less blurry, You guys know how to get them sharper?

[The Gremlin]

What the heck...!?

My character (who isn't a wight, but a bald albino wearing all black) didn't want to go through the portal, one of the other guys tried to make him get going, there was a scuffle, eventually the other guy grabbed my character and stuck him in a catapult. He then launched him out.
Arg, why must my comics always be so confusing?

[T-O-E]

Sounds like an interesting plot.
I might make a character for it, when I get less busy.

But I've said this before...

[Mina Kobold]

@Xartyve: I've got an idea for my character's backstory: He was Damiens teacher (high school or something) and friends of his parents and since he himself was interested in the nature of these other universes, Damien's parents made him promise to watch over him (you know how some parents are) and his name is Moss Agat by the way. So how is it?

[Fay Graydon]

I'm gunna throw together the next FFF comic if nobody minds...
I has a PLN!
Is a way to mean im not a redundant blind guy ^^
... well i am... but...
...
You'll see....
(So no plot advancement in the Rand or Lying scenario pls)

Its gunna be a funneh non plot...
