[Perpendiculars]greatest heroes
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2016 1:31 am
Greatest heroes and heroines of Perpendicular-1:
Lullultulul.
the Stormlord:
PL14/312pp. Not only is he a brick with few peers---not only is he a telekinetic of enormous powers---and not only is he a godsmith---but he is also the Stormblooded, indeed, the first such entity in all Lullultull.
The Stormlord is the Exemplar of the Stormblooded.
To the Stormblooded, the Stormlord is God. To the Cityfolk of the Heartland, the Stormlord is the Devil. Placeholder.
Greatest heroes and heroines of Perpendicular-2:
Linntuuu.
the God-in-Gold-and-Gems-and-Feathers: native to the Bowl of Uruku.
PL14/156pp. The God-in-Gold-and-Gems-and-Feathers is a crocodile-god warrior who wields an absolutely gargantuan Warhammer. Adorned in ceremonial---and therefore useless!---gold-lined bronze armor and wearing a headdress of feathers from a great variety of birds---he wanders the land, crushing his enemies and seeking glory.
The God-in-Gold-and-Gems-and-Feathers sacrificed his name to his ancestors, believing it would gain their blessings. He touts himself a god of war, and lives to break his enemies.
PL9/148pp. Not every great hero on Linntuuu is a god---no, some are mortal, and're all the more remarkable because of it.
Such is the situation with half-mythical Crimson Ayla, the Red Angel of Mortalkind. Once a slave-priestess and temple-dancer, Ayla slew her divine master and fled into the desert. There, she found refuge in the lands of the mortal Kiiinwa tribe. There, she learned to fight...and to win, even against gods!
And so it was, Crimson Ayla went to and fro, killing gods and proving her worth and the worth of all mortals. One day, her limbs will grow weak with age, her reactions slow and her fighting spirit dim, and on that day a god or goddess will strike Ayla down. Until then, the Red Angel of Mortalkind casts her defiance into the face of brutal deities.
Welrul and its seven worlds.
Aklil of the Stormwings:
PL15/200. Wearing Demimachine wings powered by a single Distort, Aklil of the Wings is a terengghull war-prince with a desire to end the menace of the Tumorgrown for all time! Placeholder.
Greatest heroes and heroines of Perpendicular-4:
the Corpulence.

Greatest heroes and heroines of Perpendicular-5:
Llengg.
the Mad Mad Jester:
---/|the music plays. ---/|the dance begins. ---/|swords are drawn. ---/|he is there, laughing...always laughing. ---/|they don't see the joke, so he must educate these fools in life's merriment. ---/|he kills them.---/|the music fades. ---/|the jester vanishes. ---/|the crowd applauds.

PL19/551pp. An enigma of epic proportions, this larval cosmic entity materializes as a brightly (and garishly!) colored medieval court jester, wearing an ivory mask of a weeping man. The Mad Mad Jester may seemingly do anything...so long as it is dramatically appropriate and is done in order to humiliate those who wish humanity ill. Placeholder.

Crimson Ayla: native to the Bowl of Uruku.In a world like Linntuuu, sometimes even heroes can be brutal and merciless.
PL9/148pp. Not every great hero on Linntuuu is a god---no, some are mortal, and're all the more remarkable because of it.
