I would assume the injuries don’t magically go away when your stamina weakens.

My God... Santa Claus......

But I really love the Lesgue of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the concept is fun and Brilliant. So for my world I do a similar thing. basically Rip Van winkle is a kind of immortal whose immortality is supported by his slumbers. So he sleeps and wakes ups two or three times every Century, and whenever he wakes up he’s compelled by fate to encounter 4 other heroes of the Era to stand against 5 of the greatest and most wicked of beings of the Era who seemed to also be brought together via serendipity. So Far I worked on an 1820ish, 1860ish, and 1930ish Group and threat. It’s rather fun and I...

Right up my alley! So we now have another Hammersmith type event awesome!

I do go with most of these characters exist, or I mix a few together, like Tarzan is cool and all but I think I like Kazar better. Hmm but what if Kevin Plundarr’s family was related to Lord Greystokes or a rival family, or maybe I mix em together.

But yes I definitely have events before the Hammersmith Incident, and days of limited Tech Miracles of Nature such as a meteorite works in a pinch!

... really throwing Lighting Bolts that can tame the Titans of the Land and Sky, breathing life into a statue, always being invisible to mortals, arrows that can cause sickness or love, erupting a mortal so he can turn things into gold, erupt another so she can see the future, banish a soul to toil for eternity, lifting up Mount Etna and throwing it at a giant monster that could have defeated your whole family of Gods besides you, causing a Earthquakes with your physical might, creating horses and bulls from nothing, turning Rocks into people, turning ants into people, sealing wind into a bag,...

I didn’t say anything about becoming a citizen I said live their, legal like. They are more concerned over the last few years but it’s super easy to get a job teaching there if English is your native language and you aren’t some sort of spy or security risk....

Actually I’m going to take a wild swing and say the gods were full on Nova level, and maybe the Demigods started at Stalwart level. We seem have hints that the Quantum in the air during the Aegis Age meant lessened Psion manifestation unlike the Hammersmith Incident which mixed everything up and this kept levels low but varied in Flux, Psi and Quantum. I expect they had high Level Quantum influencing the Gods. Like perhaps Novas from the future or the Past. Or the Titans were Alien or Ascended Quantum Beings that empowered Early man into gods, which is my theory of Handling Aegis like the...

[Eldagusto]

Also I’m still defining some of my odd eruption theory so I have a question how would the setting handle the Ironfist and Immortal Weopon of the Capital Cities of Heaven. So basically the Ironfist is. Special refined Chi, and usually you inherit it after another Iron Fist dies, but also if one retires or goes AWOL like Orson Randal.

So the Iron Fist allows superhuman feats of skill, speed and strength and it’s eponymous Ironfist, which is gather a your qi in a concentrated aura around your fist or another extremity making it indestructible and explosive. Later he learned other...

[Eldagusto]

I think it did happen but was rare, as most Stalwarts seemed to fade out after the age of Adventure. And the Quantum event boosted people anyways so you maybe didn’t notice, like maybe those that did also got boosted by the event so they skipped a lot of normal Nova development and went into godmode....

[Eldagusto]

It’s actuallyrathwr easy to move there if you have business concerns or want to teach English, I have a ton of friends and associates who did just that. In the Nova Age though they will probably Tighten their borders....

[Eldagusto]

? Then is positive insert country always pandering? And how isn’t Grimmdark dystopian America cliche and masturbatory?...

[Eldagusto]

Exactly! Or the World found in the X-men books! It’s a fun concept I’ve messed with for both Trinity and Exalted....

[Eldagusto]

You could also have a time Dilation Field, so something like an Aeon Chamber, a sprawling city sized Complex that can make a day last a generation. It could have been a project some Novas or Aliens used to aid in their Evolution experiments. This can result in a quick divergence of humanity. Maybe it broke and caused those within to be stuck until it was repaired, or Hell was broken completely enough to dissolve the dilation zone. Resulting in a divergent species millions billions of years evolved. Or the humans died but the mice and cockroaches and geckos that survived evolved enough to...

[Eldagusto]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Wuxia could be just more advanced, tier 3 Talents, stuff and at that level you aren’t as limited as tier 2 Talents.

[Eldagusto]

Yeah i was going to make two threads but I just mashed them together into a superthread.

But it’s just semantics to say they don’t have specific powers, that’s like saying the same for humans that know how to snipe targets from a mile away don’t have a specific capability, they know how to just use a capability, it can be misleading. And I’m proposing a more concrete idea for things, because it’s less satisfying to just have not pattern or rhyme or a reason for the power. The subconscious trigger for the power is just a method to explain comic superheroes odd cooncidences...

[Eldagusto]

So since we don’t have all the answers yet in books let’s discuss this.

Talents are basically human and their children most likely don’t inherit Talent status, but you may go with the trop that Talented and Heroic people have Talented and Heroic children. But basically up to the SG to decide if Professor Jones Kid grows up to be Indiana Jones or Shiloh Lebouf.

Psion if I recall have the issue with them being to new to have much Data. Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the Doyen design the Prometheus Chambers so they remove the potential of the subjects bloodline...

[Eldagusto]

Yeah I always wondered when they would crack down on potential telepathic manipulations, especially if the Doyen are discovered.

And corporations, especially Megacorporations aren’t confined to one Country, so a collection of Megacorps take over North America but what the rest of the world don’t boycott them? It makes more sense in a setting where everyone is dystopian, but Aeon is a mishmash of all the Genres so I’m not sure how they handle this.

[Eldagusto]

The package tracking, yeah they told me the whole system was down. How long before they sent your copy back after they tried to deliver? Just want to know how close to the edge my case was, because I was told they almost sent it back and it was only three days. Sorry PD.

Very imperfect system. I hate the mail some times....

[Eldagusto]

Interesting, so is this an alternate history of Earth?


We I mean Future?

So it’s still say on a planet?

[Eldagusto]

Yeah they almost happened to me. ...
