Hellion

Post by zoo00m »

Just found out that a hellion seems to be some kind of car?
QUote> It`s built for speed...

Dunno if it has any Dm relation.

Um. No.

The original meaning of the word is that of 'mischievous person' -- also somebody possessing chaotic or malevolant tendencies.

Hellion was also a mutant in the New Mutants X-Men stories.

I'd go with the first meaning in relation to DM.

I forgot to mention that it was also used when people thought that another person may be possessed by the devil or an evil spirit, especially in relation to a child.

Not quite sure how all this relates to a necklace though!

I used to wear the hellion with the armour of darc and hardcleave. Kinda fits.
I would also say that theron `s ghost kind a possesses the champions or merely leads them..
so there could be a connection; at least more than that of a car!

Just for fun searched the Inet for hellion/ Ion stone . but to no great avail. Some dead links where there was talk of taming dragons (completely different system!), magnet (sokrates or platon) and a witch site where there are all kinds of amulets for water refreshing/ replenishing etc..

but enough of that crap! ;)

before I forget:
flamitt is made up of 'flame' and 'mittens', I guess.
lying around on the level I thought to put them in :)
)Mittens, for those who don`t know, are gloves without seperate fingers(

Indeed, though it also plays to 'flame-it'

Plenty of hell-lions in Bane of the Cosmic Forge!

In DM, wearing the Hellion has the profound effect of increasing your weight.

Oooh.. it's too easy... I can't resist a plug:

If you want a Hellion that does something, play SS

Muehehe :twisted:

(did you know that laughing is since primordial times a sign for fear?
Apes laugh if they are afraid. Laughing is infectious. so maybe we are all in fear!! Funny thought.
In case you wondered that you sometimes laugh out of embarassment.

I laughed on Friday and scared the crap out of everyone. I did one of those deranged laughs when my work was finished and people thought I had flipped. I love my work : )
