Talk:Rampage
From Create Your Own Story
Are we allowed to create alternate starting points for characters? I recently wrote a few pages to the 6th Grade Boy storyline starting from Thrust into the punkette's tight asshole and ending where the boy is choking the punk chick. Since there is already a previous start for possessing the punk chick that doesn't correlate to my new storyline, I would just like to know if it was allowed. --DeadFishV 01:10, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
I would think we are allowed to do that. When I first started looking at Rampage the only entry point for Valerie's Father was after he was already engaged in sex with her in his office. I added a line where the cat took a nap on the car and woke up when he got home. --Yihman1 July 19 2011
Now I my question is how do we do it? Do we just use an alternate possession line (i.e. "Possess..." rather than the already used "Shift spirit into...:) or put (alternate starting point) inside the choice brackets? --DeadFishV 01:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
I would prefer alternate phrasing, rather than putting (alternate starting point) as part of the page title. --Platypus 01:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Alright I got a question. Does your knowledge stack? For example if you have possessed a doctor, a car mechanic, and a black belt before moving your body into a 10 year old kid would you keep all your knowledge of human health, car mechanics, and fighting as that 10 year old child?--Yihman1 03:17, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
You would probably only retain knowledge from any particular host for a limited time after moving on. Otherwise, you'd have an unlimited amount of knowledge skills to call upon. --Platypus 06:29, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
You already have theoretically unlimited power as is. If say our protagonist was surrounded by 10 men with machine guns ready to kill him. Simply shift from gunner to gunner killing them all. Immortal basically. Perhaps it should be the longer amount of time spent in a body the more information is absorbed from it. They say the human brain only uses 10% of its capacity. So in theory you could have 10 other people's knowledge all in one head.--Yihman1 16:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
The 10% capacity thing is an urban legend. We do use 100% of our brains, just not all at any one given moment. But given that a demonic spirit is supernatural, science and real-world restrictions don't necessarily apply to it. I would say that the longer you stay with a host and the more use you make of that host's knowledge, the longer you retain that knowledge after moving on.
As a spirit, and a servant of Hell, this character is indeed immortal. But causing too much chaos, such as mass shootings, would likely draw the attention of angelic spirits with similar powers. You demonic superiors would probably be annoyed with you if your actions cause Heaven to look into what you and your fellow demons have been up to. --Platypus 17:50, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
