#ex heroes

[elsewhereuniversity]

the sports store is a museum of the relics of once-heroes. if you enter the aisle between the sixth and seventh row of shelves, touch nothing. there will be no sports equipment, only rusted swords and broken bows and cracked shields. from the ceiling hangs a warning: the once-heroes remember their journeys.

Ohhhhhhh wow I love this yes

you guys ever read ex heroes its super heroes...IN A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

the super heroes aren’t OP either there “balanced” I guess 

the author is great at foreshadowing

project zomboid mod idea: has anyone read ex-heroes?

i think it would be a fun mod to add super powers like in ex-heroes (read it its good). it would have to be balanced in someway.

like you can turn invisible but you still make noise and your clumsier.

or you have super senses (no more visibility cone but load things like cars, gun fire, or generators creates a cone of darkness you cant see in.

you could probably rip off some ex-heroes characters whole sale. i even have a name for the knock off power armor Strategic Powered Operations Tank. the Ex-hero suit is called Cerberus and i think that's basically ancient Greek for spot.

iv even put thought into the SPOT system if anyone wants to here 

i figure you could spawn in with the suit and it has different weapon system mounted based around the arms

crowd control: 2 grenade launchers in each arm 1/2 smoke half teargas and the classic tazer hand (24 rounds on each arm)

extermination: 1/2 incendiary grenades 1/2 high explosive and a flame thrower

combat: big ol’ 50 cal light machine gun

of course your limited by battery life, hard to make/acquire ammo and the fact that its not a quite machine

One weekend, a handful of the ex-chosen ones, great heroes turned again to teenagers, gather bright-gleaming swords and paint old fae war-signs on their faces and go to face the Wyrm. They do not come back. (Do not pity them. Their lives were and always have been dragonfire and the taste of blood and death. They missed it too much.)

We were heroes once. This is what one says to another, half-remembered battles won in the evenness of their shoulders. This is what sits hot on their tongues. We were heroes, once. We were more.

The idea that no matter how cold and callous and heartless the world seemed, there was somebody out there who just wanted to make life better. Not better for worlds or countries in some vague way. Just better for people trying to live their lives, even if they didn’t know about him.
