Question of the Day: Where was your flake during the most recent major story event?

>Question of the Day
Helping an old man be less unhappy.

...

i don't understand this meme

It's a reminder

So what is the current consensus on the domains of the green slice of the color pie? Apparently community and interdependence are largely out.

Hey guys rate my flake

Chandere pls.

...

>Where was your flake during the most recent major story event?

Fukn up sum atarka brood dragons

>anyone who speaks ill of Nahiri is Chandere
I thought Chandere unironically liked edgy?

First snowflake. Feel free to laugh or judge or whatever...

Damn, forgot the question. He would have been on Ravincia

>Salum
Somewhere.

>Salina
Right after the Gatewatch left for Amonkhet? Chilling out in Kaladesh.

>Costin
Leaving Ravnica, because that didn't pan out too well.

>Tyral
Mugging some poor sap in some city somewhere.

>Karrok
Hanging out with the trolls on Zendikar.

>Mysel
Drilling for sangrite, for profit.

Uploading my flake.

Can't help but feel I butchered it somewhere though...

So a walking mass of Deus Vult?

>has angelic armaments
>not a cute girl

Hmmmm

The naya fight-dude squad grows....good, good....

Probably selling imperialistically acquired goods back on Kephalai, or picking more up from wherever's in vogue.

>phyrexiakid663
that fag and his OP praetors, RP'ing with him sucks

nice chuckle. thanks mate

I made a thing. Tah-dah

Tickles me pink to see one of yours again.

In flake news:
Esper's still empty.
Naya and Golgari have seen population spikes.
Every snowflake is shit, especially yours.

In addition, gave Petra wrong symbol, now fixed.

Rezarek still scares the piss out of me.

will he take me gently?

I mean, he hungers for the sweet essence of living beings. Interpret that as you will
You will scream, one way or another.

S-s-s-s-sempai!!!!

>Story begins with another planeswalker staying on Ravnica to lead an uprising against the guilds. To do this, she constructs an army of angels. But the first and strongest of the angels finds out some pretty bad shit about the resistance. Driven to the brink at one bitter revelation too many, she ends up killing her own creator by consuming her soul, gaining her spark in the process.

Good flake idea or shit flake idea?

>she constructs an army of angels.
Seems like a nigh-impossible feat for a neowalker.

If it's constructed, it can't have a spark unless through incredible circumstances they are given one.

Shit idea.
Why does the random angel possess the power to absorb souls?
Why does random unnamed neowalker #302 decide the best way to invade Ravnica is to create an army of extremely visible creatures that are known to be strong allies of justice, when her goal is to overthrow the current (working) regime? Why not just recruit the discontent and downtrodden, like, you know, actually organizing the fucking Gateless?

Constructing an army of permanent angels is something only oldwalkers are capable of and Ravnica was off-bounds for planeswalkers before the Mending.
The only entity capable of forcefully taking a spark is Memnarch, who engineered an entire plane for that single purpose.
Why would a planeswalker choose angels as their soldier of choice? I mean, why would you go with the magical construct most likely to feel empathy?

Too many holes, I'm afraid. Bad idea.

It's shit and you're shit

Why the obsession with angels among us?

some pure waifu shit probably

Does that question really need to be asked?

...

Because demons are male.

...

The first storm had no angels in it, despite having over a hundred walkers. It occurred during Origins and BFZ.
The second storm took place during SOI. It had at least three angels in it.

People going apeshit over Avacyn is the likely cause. Who cares that she was an emotionless robot, she wore lots of eyeliner and looked fucking great in thigh-highs. Of course people were all over that shit.

Avacyn is top-tier waifu material, yes.

>tfw no plane where Angels are hot, shirtless hunks and Demons are seductresses
Life is suffering.

The angels on Amonkhet are huge swole dudes.

The demons though...

But that puts toxic masculinity on a pedestal while literally demonizing femininity, user.

Glake concept: mono white walker with several decades of experience who will save the multiverse from itself, and bring order to the galaxy. Leaves spartan meritocracies wherever he goes, great at rule of law, but immicable to freedom or anything he sees as chaos. Currently looking for a way to confine planewalkers to planes due to how they 'contaminate' planes.

Do it. We need more cancer.

>Currently looking for a way to confine planewalkers to planes due to how they 'contaminate' planes.

I actually kinda like this.

Go for it, although people might roll their eyes at how he's a supposed conqueror of planes when he hasn't touched any planes that we're aware of.

Reposting from last thread.

D-do the new one, sempai I'll suc ur dic

Not that guy, just reposting.

Do we need another UGB walker? Was thinking of making a guy who took the whole 'Destiny is real and you all have to play your part' thing from green, adding some black "Man my destiny is shit" and blue "and here's how I'm gonna fix it"
Any good, or should I just BUG and make a SPIDERS SPIDERS AHAHAAH walker?

I'm not sure. My way of going about it was "my destiny is fucking awesome and fuck anyone who is going to stand between me and it." Green demands some respect of destiny and the way that you're using blue and black makes it sound like they don't like the destiny they're given and are trying to avoid it.

Maybe have green be 'destiny's real and you've got to play your part,' while black is 'but I'd really like it if my destiny was awesome for me,' with blue going 'so here's how I'm going to reinterpret it to make it awesome for me.'

Fixing destiny sounds a bit anti-green. Finding the perfect interpretation of destiny that benefits you the most is just blue, black and green enough that it works.

Finally home from work, played with a few ideas, knocked together a few concepts, and voila.
Rate my first shitty flake

Spooders are great

Do it

literally 2 minutes late
Fuck lad I'll do BG spider walker next time. How comedy do you want senpai, serious, semi-serious, or AHAHAHAH SPOODER IS BEST DO YOU LIKE SPIDAR, LET ME SHOW YOU MY SPIDER

So his motivation is to disrupt the course of destiny and save his people from destruction? The former is not green whatsoever and the latter is most certainly white.

I'm having a hard time seeing the self-interest and ambition that would make him black, or what makes his green beyond his use of leyline magic.

>self-interest and ambition
Maybe he wants to save his people not because he truly carea about them, but because he wants to satisfy his ego by being the hero everyone worships? Maybe he has a compulsive desire to feel important.

Sounds mono blue, maybe blue-black to me. Scholarly and spacetime warp-y spells from blue and leeching spells from black.

Just because a character is somewhat related to tradition, destiny, or past stuff at all, it doesn't have to be green.

Just because a character can get angry, doesn't mean it has to be red.

Just because a character has a personal goal, doesn't mean it has to be black.

Just because a character has some modicum of intellect beyond being a slobbering retard doesn't mean it has to be blue.

Just because a character has some adherence to law or religion doesn't mean it has to be white.

In most cases, sentient beings have some intellectual interaction in aspects from all 5 colors, and would have to be extremely single minded not to. Using a color to identify a character means it's a crucial part of a character's identity. It's not just a matter of it being present, but a matter of a character being made invalid for its absence.

Snowflake trial when?

Fuck it, when I get home from vacation I am finally making my snowflake even if I don't have the right character art yet.

It would need to be set before the current events of Amonkhet, because it's all going to shit once Bolas arrives and ruins fucking everything.

I mean, like make an entire trial just for flakes

The best comedy characters are ones that can be read seriously and aren't obnoxious.
Silly doesn't mean you can't take it seriously in how you handle making it.

WB is so awkward to design characters around.

I made an planeswalking twit of the year before and someone did flake hunger games

I don't believe that this flake was posted yet.

I'm not 100% happy about her backstory, so I'll probably end up changing it somewhat.

I need to find them, but my friends and I made some creatures out of ourselves way back in the day. Put on some Halloween crap, posed for a picture, and edited ourselves into the cards. Man, we couldn't have been too old at the time, but it's funny to think about.

The backstory has a bit too much of "she's good at everything she tries" but that might just be me.

I tried to emphasize with the cards that she's not really good at self-defense, but I can see what you mean. I'll throw in some more detail in the bio.

I have a couple ideas for walkers, but I'm not sure how good either is. I haven't really made any OCs for anything before.

:^Þ

repostin

...

Rate it, fuccbois.

Also, what spells/artifacts does he still need?

In universe time, how long ago did New Phyrexia take over Mirrodin? 3-4 years? Short enough ago that a Planeswalker might have visited it without encountering Phyrexians and not having heard the plane's fate?

>Not a giant woman
0/10 Gaia, git gud

Bitch why don't you come over here and fuck me in my giant slut pussy?

...

The takeover of Mirrodin was not an instant thing. It happened over time. Unless you haven't been there in an extreme while, you're gonna know.

Well, I might as well post the plane sheet now, considering I have two flakes that come from it.

I too liked Sunless Sea
Tried to make his green come out more in the whole preservationist thing. Still, good point I might go over and fix the story sometime today
I could stand to make it more selfish, was trying to go for "I'm the hero because it's my destiny so everything is okay"

I like her design, feels very human. Does she ever try and find her father? It would also be good to add some conflict with her time on Kaladesh as the plane is very unwelcoming to magic users under the Console, assuming she was there before it was revolted.

Making a sheet, here is their equipment. Make a an assumption about them based off of it, I dare you.

WRU Boros/Izzit combo
Behold, le spider lady. Can't think of a story for her, aside from "Grew up a noble in Innistrad, spiders happened, learned how to spider from Golgari, now she spider spider spider spider spider"

I'm actually an arachnophobe so this was fun.

Ayyy, the Femme Fatale alt art, nice.

Glad you like it. I imagine she's tried a few times but doesn't really get her hopes up. Being in the audience of a theatre where Rakdos had a temper tantrum tends to end poorly.

There probably is a good story in her restraining her use of magic on Kalades, seeing as how she seems to almost exclusively use aether magic and machines now. Even the more obviously magic stuff, like Auger Spree and Mizzium Mortars just mostly look like machines.

I imagine she was there before, during, and after the revolution. It'd be the perfect time to get her hands on some more exciting toys and test what she had, hence why she now has Gearhulks in her arsenal.

And I guess because I keep forgetting to answer the question: Petra was working with Gonti, who owns her favorite Scrapper rings on Kaladesh, securing herself and the aetherborn more resources for whatever scheme he's up to.

Close, but no U. I'm trying not to make another character with U in it so I'm sticking to just boros.

a minotaur from theros that wants to rise above the savagery of the people from its homeland?

Close.
Minotaur from Ravinka that walked to Theros and was disgusted by the brutal, primal, savagery of his kin on the plane and is attempting to redeem them through Boros Law, and indirectly causes a disturbance in the Pantheon by slowly shifting Mogis to Mardu.

Someone call?

>indirectly causes a disturbance in the Pantheon by slowly shifting Mogis to Mardu
>Snowflake singlehandedly warping the way an entire plane works

What else would you expect to happen if he started teaching law to the minotaurs of theros? The gods are built of faith, and if their people begin to shift so will they.

This is some god like sniping.

>and indirectly causes a disturbance in the Pantheon by slowly shifting Mogis to Mardu.
Man, between you and pornfag up here we're halfway to the worst posting of the first snowstorm already.
All you need is some digimon fanart and to be friends with one of the major villains that'd otherwise hate you and you can be this storms Arakis.

So I'll explain in pieces.
First: Snowflakes are not supposed to warp canon. Ever. You might as well say your flake gave an impassioned speech that made Liliana turn Orzhov
Your flake shouldn't have enough influence among minotaurs to push them white enough for Mogis to be influenced. There's already a WR force on Theros in the polis of Akros, and if they don't listen to Akros, why would they listen to you?

That's off the top of my head.

It's generally frowned upon in flake threads to change a plane's entire way of life or directly interact with the established lore. That's why Vronak got flak for writing a story where he kills Vraska and cucks Jace

Alright, good points. I'll change the design.

What, a spider lady with no asshole genie in her backstory?

This place has changed.

Better question: Why isn't she a drider?
