And since Stern will be appearing in the next Nanoha movie (with the other GoD charas), it'll be easier to get more pictures of her. :)
 
Wow... looks like mega got themselves a bandwagon. Now it would be long before we get to find out what happened in Roselyn's grandfather's shop!

Either some damn good art, or some choice picks from the net. It fits the Nanoha motif while giving it a marvelously dark spin.
 
... I just realized that Renata's two friends are Suzuka and Arisa expies. They even argued with each other before they became friends.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a talking ferret who gave Renata the shiny magic trinket, but a spooky shadow thing that led her to a shady guy in a black trench coat.
 
So would Ebon be able to assign Familiar analogues? The traditional assistant / advisor types that is.

Golems even?
 
I'd recommend making a Belt Golem, just so we'd have Kamen Rider-esque sidekicks... but we have Magical Girls here, so...

Something not-so-eyecatching, yet cute, and somewhat sturdy?
 
Okay, so... we need to use Make Golem on some animal, then conjoin the Upgrade Golem with Make Shadow Beast, and viola, EMG familiar. That might even be able to switch between forms.
 
Wait, Renata got a new smartphone, right?

I wonder if she'd mind if Ebon gives it another function... a hidden app that talks back to her.

It may or may not also help with her transformation scenes.
(No FORESTIZE WARNINGs though.)
 
Yes, that's the Familiar action
While your golems are a helpful bunch, Evetta requires more capable assistants in her work and wishes to acquire them by creating familiars. Different from the familiars of the Company, these familiars are magical creatures that are created by a mage. They are created by extracting the soul of an animal and infusing it into a magical body sustained by a mage's magical power. They usually appear humanoid and can shapeshift into their animal forms as well. They frankly sound useful and more help around the base would be great. Cost: 500 EP. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Evetta gains magical familiar. Jacob gains magical familiar.

    [X] The Middle school student who, beneath her friendly and outgoing facade, is desperately looking of a purpose in life. Having tried all kinds of hobbies, none of them really clicked with her despite her talent in many of them. Puts her all into whatever she's doing.
    [X] The Black Inferno Incarnate, Ebony Blaze, Magical Girl and Servant of the Ebon Emperor
    [X] Renata Winston, Ordinary Girl
    [x] The High School Student who comes from a rather rich family but became a delinquent. Originally started in order to try and get attention from her parents, she got addicted to street fighting but got bored of them when she kept on winning without much effort
    [X] Fallback: Anonymity is one of your greatest tools at this point of the great game. With the cash that you have, you can start making full use of it. You'll need secret identities to hide your civilian actions behind since doing Ebon stuff as Jacob is just asking for trouble. Your glamour needs an upgrade so that you can appear as more than just a guy in a black coat with glowing red eyes. You'll need to also make sure your base is extra secure since it's not actually that hard to break into. You need to truly hide all traces of your assets if you want to keep some nosy idiot from getting lucky and finding their way into your base. Cost: 300 EP, $20000. Upkeep: $1000. Time: 2 Turns. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Base properly hidden and secure. False identities acquired. Better Glamour. Loose threads severed. (Will be completed this turn)
    [X]Miss pretty mask, empty soul. (The Middle School one)
    [X] Energy Farm: The easiest way to get more Ebon Power is to increase the number of captives that you can drain energy from. With the number of Shadows you have under your control, it should be child's play to capture a bunch of people to act as your Ebon Power generators. You'll have to make sure that whoever you kidnap will not be missed anytime soon. Cost: 60 Ebon Shadows. 10 Neoshadows. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Minimum 2d6+5 Human Captives. Increased Ebon Power Income.

    [X] Magical Girl:
    [X] Civilian:
    [X] Write-in: Vivian. A middle-schooler and your little tsundere sister.
    [X] The elementary school girl who is a fan of magical girl shows and wishes she could become one. Not just because of her fantasies but because she believes that she could help patch up her parent's gradually deteriorating relationship if she had magical girl powers.
    [X] Information Network: Yuudai's greater understanding of the world of espionage, as well as his own connections with various information brokers, has prompted him to set up a proper information network for you instead of trying to sift through hundreds of hours of Seeker Recordings of whatever seems interesting. Of course, he's going to change how the Seekers do their thing but he also needs more seekers to do so. Cost: 800 EP, $5000. Upkeep: $500. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Information Network available. Weekly Rumour mill.
    [X] Magical Girl Mayhem: A Magical Girl fights for love, peace, and friendship. The means they do so are varied. Type A uses love-empowered magical elemental attacks while Type B uses empowered fists of love and justice. Both, however, don't really have a support network like the Company do. Thus, you find both types running themselves ragged fighting all these strange monsters. How about you go and take the pressure off them a little by destroying a bunch of these posers? How dare these magical villains try and home in on your energy harvesting schtick. Cost: 100 EP. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: Information on Magical Girl Factions. Support Link gained. ???
    [X] Shadow Army: The Shadows are your most numerous combat assets. While they seem to multiply on their own, as things stand, you're going to be needing a hell lot more of them, both the regular Shadows and Neoshadows. Thankfully, it seems that your regular Shadows have also developed the ability to hide in other people's shadows and drain their energy though only the Neoshadows can drain enough energy to be a threat. Time to make some more Shadows. Cost: 500 EP. Chance of Success:70%. Reward: 200 Ebon Shadows. 40 Neoshadows.
    [X] My Little Slime: You've got a pet slime of magical ebon-fueled origins. Cuddles seems capable of eating anything organic and it can blow bubbles. It is also technically your first minion. Spend some time with it. Get to know it better. Build up your bond with the little fellow. Cute is justice and nothing's cuter than Count Cuddles. Cost: 10EP. Chance of Success: 80% Rewards: Increased Relationship with Count Cuddles. ???
    [X] Friends and Family: While you do have a clone doing the things that Jacob Anderson should be doing, not to mention you also gain his memories when you come and replace him with a new clone, it'd be nice to take a break and hang with your friends and family for a bit for real. Plus you may spot things that Jacob misses as well. Cost: 0. Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Increased Relationship with Friends and family. Lowered Suspicions from Friends and Family. ???
    [X] Teleportation and Transference: Being able to teleport from one place to another in an instant is one of your biggest fantasies. However, magic that messes with time and space, and playing with portals can be quite dangerous. Thankfully, Evetta is more than capable of teaching you the basics as well as the combat applications. You want to blink from enemy to enemy, slashing them as you pass them by, and continue enhancing your Reaper cosplay with a Shadow Step skill. Cost: 200 EP. 70% Reward: Gain short-range teleportation ability. Gain ability to generate portals and set them in places.
    [X] Power of a Wish: The Wishing Stone is an object of great power that is capable of altering reality to grant wishes. You had originally planned to try and replicate this incredible power by absorbing the Wishing Stone. However, Evetta has informed you that such an approach would either result in nothing but a large influx of Ebon Power or you being bound by rules and compulsions beyond your current means to resist, essentially partially becoming a wish-granting machine. Instead, she has theorized that you might be able to create your own version of the Wishing Stone. It'll require a lot of effort but it'll be worth it to create your own magical girl army. Cost: 600 EP, 1 Wishing Stone. Chance of Success: 80% Reward: Gain the ability to create your own Wishing Stone variant.
    [X] Ninja Techniques and Ebon: Ninja uses a combination of their trained bodies and qi in order to pull off some of their more fantastical ninja techniques, the ones that you usually see in anime and movies. Turns out that a lot of them are legit but for most parts are usually held in reserves since they are usually too flashy for the usual stealth-based task ninjas do. Still, pulling off ninja skills as either Ebon or Jacob sounds like fun. Time for some experimentation! Cost: 400 EP. Chance of Success: 70% Reward: Acquire ability to replicate Ninja Techniques. Increased intrigue.
    [X] Beasts of the Black Kingdom: You realized that before you try making monsters out of people, you should try making loyal monsters out of ordinary animals. There are lots of stray cats and dog as well as wild animals out in the city that you can use. PETA would be on your ass for using animals to test your powers but you're a villain so screw them. Cost: 200 EP. Chance of Success: 100% Reward: New Minion Type – Beast.

Luring a middle school girl to your shadowy van caravan trailer can't help but be really creepy. Maybe Jacob should find a more above board way to recruit underage minions. Like maybe a goth themed book club?

Also, are we in Japan? I thought this was an AU California with a lot more Japanese cultural exchange, but everything about the middle school, except some of the names, reminded me of anime middle schools rather than American middle schools.
 
What is the vote tally?
