im bored so i decided to draw an epithet erased character (im more focused on the powers than character)
what epithet should i do (based off of these)
what epithet category: part of speech
- Noun
- Verb
- Adjective
- Adverb
- Preposition
- Conjunction
- Interjection
how well known is the word
- Common (at least 99% of forumers should know this word)
- Slightly Complex (i dont expect too many to know)
- Unknown (little to no forumers know)
if noun:
- Countable Noun (many)
- Uncountable/Mass Noun (much)
if adjective:
- Has Comparative (-er) and Superlative (-est)
- Just Yes/No “State/Boolean”
allow (at first sight/blatantly) overpowered epithets (infinite, omnipotent, erase, change (for example))
word category: theme (might break other poll votes/rules)
- None/Normal/Other
- Theater/Performance/Art/Literary
- Mythology/Ancient/Magic
- History/Politics/War/Law
- Medicine/Pharmacology/Biology/Biochemistry
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Geology/Geography
- Engineering/Math
- Derogatory/Insult/Offensive/Slur
(you can also suggest by commenting)
psst: my favorite epithets are chemicals (for planning out powers)
any specific? or just general?
holy shit this epithet user could have a DIVERSE arsenal
imagine i name the character Heisenberg lol
you can make overpowered sounding epithets really easily, and the best way to balance them is the fact that your character is probably class 1, and there’s no way a class 1 epithet user could do completely absurd bullshit, even if their epithet is erase or something
i guess true, but i was specifically talking about “face value”
fair enough.
anyways, if you like chemical kinds of epithets, how about…
Adrenaline
I could imagine a moveset revolving around buffing something while also giving a drawback to something else, like moving faster but taking more damage
Mera Salamin drawback moment?
I mean, not really, her “drawback” is that she is also fragile, but this isn’t something her abilities specifically do in exchange for something else, since it just happens to her
im gonna close this poll in ~21 hours and create the final word list
i currently have 7 possible choices:
- Hubris (6 results, n)
- Necronomicon (4 results, n)
Clepsydra (1 result, n)
- Hitherto (4 results, adv)
- Ywis (1 result, adv)
- Pleonexia (1 result, n)
- Adrenaline (50+ results n)
(results as in searching the word in the forums)
