    there were 12 different universes in zamanfari, each very loosely based on one of the 12 Apostles. 8 of them reflected "virtues" that the given apostle was known for, and 4 of them represented "sins" that their apostles were known for. That big crazy fractal clock was a map of the multiverse, and every universe existed as a "clock" at the hour marks of a larger "clock"

    Clock 1: Andrew/Bravery; Dinosaur World
    Clock 2: Peter/Denial; Orwell World
    Clock 3: James the... Lesser?/Martyrdoml; Cowboy World where people were offered as sacrifices to Time Vampires
    Clock 4: John/Love: Utopian Paradise
    Clock 5: Philip/Evangelism: Seinfeld World
    ifCUQ.gif
    Clock 6: Matthew/Avarice; Film Noire World
    Clock 7: James the... Greater?/Justice: Superhero World
    Clock 8: Bartholomew/Truth; the "true"/original timeline that you started in
    Clock 9: Jude/Hope: Terminator/Protomen World
    Clock 10: Thomas/Doubt: 12 Monkeys/Star Trek IV World
    Clock 11: Simon/Devotion: Groundhog Day World
    Clock 12: Judas/Betrayal: Mephistopholes' home universe

    The "sin" clocks were positioned at the 12, 2, 6, and 10 positions. If you draw a line from 10 to 2 and another from 12 to 6, you get a crucifix. Destroying those universes, "purging the sin," was a crucial part of Wallweather's plan. The massive amounts of temporal radiation that would spill out from the four shattered realities would form into a crucifix, which would be the ritual needed for him to ascend to godhood. Conversely, the "virtue" clocks made up the points of an octogram, and destroying them would cause the radiation to flow in that pattern, completing a ritual that would sever all humanity clocks from the clock of god permanently.

    Atlas America aka Minigun Grizzly (UAF/minigun +2) (Tough Bastard +2)

    This rugged giant of a man was found wandering the wastes of Europe by a squad of American operatives. Armed with minigun and Uranus Ammunition Factory backpack he could not be divested of, the remaining operatives tried a desperation ploy and called for his surrender. This amused him greatly, and accompanied them back to Awesome America.

    When registering for citizenship, he could give no family name and even expressed confusion as to it's purpose, so the officials gave him one. In the years since, still no-one has been successful in disarming him.

    You can choose two +1 traits or one +2 trait, dawg.

    Maximilian Fink Dynamite Raven (Explosions +2)

    File of Maximilian Fink, redacted bits removed for readability:

    German survivor. Developed an unhealthy obsession with explosives in early age. This lead to him practically worshipping the great nation of America after they decided to nuke everything.
    Was a leading figur in the development of the E.T.T.B. program (Explosive Transportation Through Biomass) which strapped highly volatile substances on birds to root out enemy encampments. It became more commonly known as "Eventually This Toucan Blows".
    The name Dynamite Raven is thus to be taken almost literally.
    Has hands-on experience, gained during multiple missions in Eastern Europe, Western Europe and South Africa.

    Once proposed plans to blow up the moon.
    Yeah, that's right.

    Appreciates classical music and fine cuisine.

    When I read "E.T.T.B. program (Explosive Transportation Through Biomass)", my immediate thought was that this guy had developed safe-ish rocket jumping.

    Cedric Haul Solar Dog (Engineer +1) (Electromagnetism+1)

    The world has become a digital trap. Virtual wars fought with artificial men using digital equipment. At any moment a solar flare could wipe it all away, and there is nothing humanity can do about it. Billions will die, dependent on the artificial lives we have given ourselves. The only survivors will be those living in the analogue, those of us who don't depend on our computers and internet and proxy wars. I realized this truth ten-thousand miles above the Earth, not dependent on the failing guidance computers or faulty gauges, but the expertise of Mission Control and an aluminum shell keeping me from the infinite void. The Nanomachines they gave me to survive the solar radiation failed, they did nothing until I returned to Earth. I had to protect myself not with digital code, or virtual calculations, but human engineering.

    Raiden, look me right in the eyes! Like looking into the sun isn't it? The magnetic safeguard for space serves only to fry the crutches you stand on. Show me the human strength you still have!


    I dunno if I actually want to play, these things are just fun to make

    the real trick of the gloss thread is coming up with a great character before someone else comes up with someone similar and presumably, better

    for a second there I thought that that had happened with Dux but then I read closer and saw CBQ and breathed a disproportionately huge sigh of relief for a pbp game on a webcomic forum

    File of Maximilian Fink, redacted bits removed for readability:

    German survivor. Developed an unhealthy obsession with explosives in early age. This lead to him practically worshipping the great nation of America after they decided to nuke everything.
    Was a leading figur in the development of the E.T.T.B. program (Explosive Transportation Through Biomass) which strapped highly volatile substances on birds to root out enemy encampments. It became more commonly known as "Eventually This Toucan Blows".
    The name Dynamite Raven is thus to be taken almost literally.

    Collaborated on the development of a non-newtonian biomedical multi layered skin implant which increases short term resistance to heat and redistributes the force of large impacts over the body.
    This means in laymans terms that the recipient of this implant would be resistant to explosions as well as falls from great hight. Bullets or punches, small impact, however still damage the recipient normally.
    The procedure was deemed to dangerous to be tried on humans.
    Fink did it to himself anyway. Who could've known that the guy with the explosion fixation didn't care about safety regulations.
    Yes, this means Fink replaced all of his skin with a high tech craft.
    No, we don't know how he did that.

    The skin implant allows him something he dubbed the B.T.T.E. procedure. He sometimes also refers to it as "Raketensprung". This procedure is seen as highly dangerous and is only approved during high profile missions or under extreme circumstances.

    Has hands-on experience, gained during multiple missions in Eastern Europe, Western Europe and South Africa.

    Once proposed plans to blow up the moon.
    Yeah, that's right.
