Legends say there is a second type of rainbow, one less colorful, but vengeful. They say it is made of colors ranging from purple to orange to red, with grey and black as well. It is seen as an ill omen. In the ancient world, to see the Painbow was to see death. Very few who ever saw it got to tell the tale.
The Painbow is said to be an ancient being, older than humanity, older than the hills, vomited up from the primordial soup from which all live emerged. Usually evolution weeds out the week, the apex predators don’t survive a large scale environmental shift, the critters who found a specific niche find themselves having a hard time coping when snowball earth occurs.
... ➦I was walking down the hall, at my uni, in the Physics building, a place I had never been before. I am here to participate in a newly formed rocketry club. It’s a typical hand full of nerds all gathered together. We don’t really have an agenda, but they have a 3D printer. Thankfully, it’s not hooked up to the scary computer. One of the guys tried to log in and found, when he started it up, it was running Arch. Ack!
... ➦Haw haw hee haw haw Joe, or something, is a good old down home country simple man, but today he is fighting in the trench against the evil Iranian hackers. He is immune to their hacking abilities. He slays them with his axe of freedom. Bringing ‘freedom’ wherever the head of his axe lands.
These little cheeto dust covered scrawny Iranian hackers, hunched over their iMacs, typing furiously in the trenches, they look up to see our ‘hero’ come striding towards the in woodland camo and more american flags than they’ve ever seen, on his shirt, on his hat, on his boots (seriously, wtf?), and carrying an axe. They type more furiously, and then look up, like prairie dogs to see if it had any effect. None. Panic. More furious typing. But to no avail, Haw haw hee haw haw isn’t affect by no computer virus. He ain’t no computer, so how can he get a computer’s virus. He turnt that shit off on his John Deere years ago. Ain’t American. Haw haw hee haw haw.
... ➦Demi-god
He has a +8 to one ability score (or split it up), and his scores can go up to 30. He has inherited every single trait of another race, at any given time, without any of the downsides.
He has “Divine Presence,” which forces everyone within 30 feet to make a saving throw or be charmed/frightened of you every time you talk. If they fail a wisdom and intelligence and charisma saving throw, I will mind-control my allies.
... ➦I had a funny idea about this ridiculous centaurs the other day. They are basically the body of a goat with the torso, arms, and head of a chimp, bonobo, or greater ape (sure, a gorialla would be insane too). So I had Perchance generate me some images of what it might look like. Medieval art as a style really captures the ludicrous natures of these monstracities. I would not want to encounter this thing in the dungeon, regardless of whether it has hands for feet or not.
