You straight up son of a bitch. You actually made it canon that Oddie can't burn your shop to the ground without summoning demons.

It wont stop me.


Burn the demons, too.

Wait.

Man, I'm reading through all the CS's and wow, we really are overstocked on strong ass dudes.

Of course, Overlord's abilities don't entirely revolve around his strength and toughness. I was thinking his 'blood manipulation' could resemble stuff from bloodborne to an extent (I play that game a lot and its blood magic is fucking crazy). One idea I had is that he has the ability to fire 'blood bullets' if he wants to, basically shooting out his own blood after crystallizing it in his own body?

So, y'know, more or less I'm thinking I'll focus more on how he's a 'Muscle WIZARD Evil Overlord' instead of 'MUSCLE wizard evil overlord'

In any case, @Weird Tales, sorry if I rustled your jimmies or anything! I find the concept of a drug addict hero both hilarious and with plenty of potential for character development and interaction, but y'know, at first he really does look like a joking shitpost. If you really want to do him, go ahead! Just note that we have plenty of strength dudes as I said and maybe he needs powers more centered on speed or trickey utilities.

For example, he could develop special drugs in his own body (Like a Slaaneshi heretic from wh40k? lmao) that would allow him to semi-mind control weaker wills (mooks) for a short period of time? He could also have an ability that lets him use a sort of 'sixth sense' when on more 'mellow' drugs, sort of like Mama Murphy from Fallout 4?

Well, it's not necessarily a terrible or unworkable thing. I'm pretty sure that all of the characters involved or at least most of them also have secondary abilities and/or characteristics besides just strength to differentiate them, like Overlord and his magical abilities. One's an archer with a lot of experience, one's a government super soldier with electricity powers etc.

I mean, both the Avengers and the Justice League have multiple members with 'is super-strong' as part of their powersets-Thor, Iron Man, obviously Hulk and even technically Captain America for Marvel and Superman, Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman for the League or Cyborg and DC's Captain Marvel in newer iterations as well) but they function fine.

I'm not sure if there's some mixed wires going on here or not, but Oddie definitely does not have super strength.

Pretty good point, @Dblade26, but I still have to wonder what sort of things Overlord could do with his blood, now thinking about it. Later on while he slowly remembers the specifics of his world's blood magics and maybe receives some 'divine inspiration' from his gods once more, wouldn't it be awesome if he could create golems made of his own coagulated blood? 2spoopy4me.

He could probably pull a Chikage and coat his weapons in blood, his or anyone elses, to better grant them increased magical enhancements. Y'know, using the blood as a medium so he can make his swords covered in lightning or something. Of course, that's more 'later on' stuff so whatever. Gears are still turning lmao

I still think that DRUGSDRUGSDRUGS is kind of dumb and will get old really fast, honestly. And as @BlackSam3091 said would really only work as a villain, and probably just a one-shot thing.

See, the joke about the obvious inspiration Snowflame is that he's a concept that's just ridiculously stupid. If he ever came back somehow, he really would just become a one-note joke pretty quickly and people wouldn't like him nearly as much. Like any drug, overexposure would kill the buzz you get from him and would just make it unpleasant and unfun pretty quickly.

Just how I see it, really.

So, a guy who remotely controls a spoopy ghost-hand that can punch the shit out of things?

Jesus christ, that sounds like the awesome fusion of a JJBA stand and that one spell from DnD. Good taste! I approve myself, but of course I'm not the gm lmao

Yeah, that seems a lot better really. Hopefully the interdimensional thing alluded to will bring in a lot of interesting worldbuilding opportunities, too. XD

...I'm still wondering if just making my potential plot hooks be "clandestine government agencies" and "potential aliens" was a bit too small-scale but oh well.

Nah, there's a lot of scope for story-telling potential there. More than the "a Greek man in America" stories I'll get from Oddie.

@BlackSam3091At the very least it opens the door to more stuff from Greco-Roman mythology, which is always fun. Like, I dunno, what if the cyclops shows up and wants to take his revenge on nobody or something? XD

"What do you want cyclops?!"

"Oh, that's alright then. Hey everybody, it's all good, he isn't going to kill anyone!"
