Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Reader mode
Since the QM has confirmed that Stockpile and RSG aren't going to strike at JU this turn (like say using RSG's knowledge of the Apiary to attack us in our home since she should still have Apiary's approval (until she starts blasting the Apiary with Black Holes that is but by then she would already be inside and serve as the perfect distraction as Silvio raids Valiant Silver's Labs for everything they are worth including all that he needs to fix and even possibly upgrade PREVAIL),
we can afford to send Chatelet to the FT.

As for Lady Leizi, I am pretty sure that any assault on FZ will have to happen AFTER we deal with GDT and I want LL there for when we deal with YQ and Foxglove.
Also, LL is the only one who could hopefully keep both MW and DS from going off the deep end while dealing with Demon Flamez and Le Petit Prince.
It was LL who saved MW from LPP after all.
And it is LL who DS has known for years and probably sees as a surrogate daughter and who almost certainly actually knew Natasha before she was murdered.
Also if I remember right, LL was there for the original fight and capture of DF so there is narrative weight to her being here to deal with them now.

[X] Plan: Bodyguard Duty
-[X] Chatelet
-[X] Handyman
As for the Ambrosia Build, i am going to go with @StarSingerBlue here
[X] Ambrosia Dose: Dreamer From Beyond Our World
-[X] [Seraph] (Potency 6)
-[X] [Memoria] (Potency 4)
-[X] [Steadfast] (Potency 2)
-[X] [Daggermaw] (Potency 1)
-[X] Potency Reductions (- 3 Potency)
-[X] Total Potency Of Dose: 10

I don't really have anything new to add in regards to why this build is preferable that hasn't already been said before.
But!!!

I would just like to clarify that I prefer every P13 to be their own Hero independent of the others rather than being treated simply as a support unit.
This goes triple for the OG P13 Candidates in Mona, Ellie, Yara and Homer!
I think no one can say that Black Swan and Valiant Gold aren't excellent Heroes with their own Distinct identities.
Which is why I honestly hate the idea of Yara having her powers full potential being lessened for the sake of providing support to the others, especially because many a time when that has been mentioned in the thread previously it has been about protecting Black Swan.
As a P13 Super Psychic I am pretty sure that Yara is already by default poised to be a damn terror to any enemy Psychics stupid enough to get anywhere near a battlefield with her present anyhow.

If we were to create a Telepath specifically as support for Black Swan I would be happy for it BUT only so long as it is not in effect a sacrifice on the part of another of the P13s.
Yara deserves be her own person.
Not to be hobbled by Uiara's Legacy (such as making her a Hydrokinetic just because Yazmin was one) or the need to prioritize another over herself (in having her Powers altered to suit a BS support role).

+ Considering she is most likely going to be Katie's primary caretaker and protector from now on, I think she is going to need as much offensive firepower as is possible to deal with the likes of Trismegistus, the rest of the Philosophers and when they catch on the Hours as well.

............. Okay!!!! I was able to vote!
I am still only on page 720 in the thread and decided to stop before I find myself missing the votes!
Next to Review the Chapter then Update the Informationals and only then continue reading!

Also ALso ALos HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
(plus Have a Nice Weekend!)

I see we are paying a tax of 1 Ambrosia soon, or Hour 7 paying us a quick visit? :V

(Good to know the latter doesn't work, at least - might as well make use of that information)

[X] Plan: Oh God, Who's in Charge Now?
-[X] Lady Leizi
-[X] Châtelet

Was convinced by the argument about here being a good time to see if there are friction points, so why not? (Don't answer that)

Side note: I think we should get Cain to Potency 10 and then empower him and Homer at the same time.

Just to see the reaction on 8's face when she sees a successful assault on Elysium is over 80% or something.

Just have medicant heal him before ambrosia or a Power that would get rid of the drugs by itself.

Something from within The Stage ripples. Yara's words are suffused with power, given weight beyond the air they move. You nearly sanction her right there and then, but . . . the power is hers.

She is not a metahuman. She has no abilities beyond a typical mortal. Yet, the Audience promises she will.

This kind of slipped by in the craziness of the chapter but we just got confirmation the Audience is a thing with real impact on the stage. This is basically an outright result of our QM deal to make Yara a psychic in action and it is spelled out.

We are an actual thing In-Universe.

The only P13 candidate I'd be okay with giving « support » powers is Cain, and by support powers I mean something focused around scrying/information-gathering so that we have an answer to Lantern.

Yeah, and in the latest update it was briefly mentioned that the time-warp powers Yara got were enough to protect Socialite Butterfly and herself from Hand's psychic attack.

That disgusting thing threatens to subsume your Swan with its very presence. A thought, and you protect her with all of your mind, heart, and will. She stops trembling.

Yara does something similar for herself and Socialite Butterfly. You shield those in the gallery as well for good measure. The grasp of this Hand is wide and long.

Hmm.
I guess Fitness would help ? But I really want to give Homer something based around Zeno's power, and I don't know if Soldier X goes well with that.
Plus I think we'll have to deal with the addiction before we give him powers.

Time is fluid here.

Uiara shakes her head, as if awakening from a dream. "Y-yara? W-where am I?. . . I-it hurts. I was under the water too long, so they cut me to pieces—"

Looking at this again thanks to the above post...
1) What does being a metahuman have to do with being able to speak up in this court, lol
2) Did Yara somehow make Uiara more whole (for lack of a better term) then with her future-present powers, and then do the same to Ellie later?

Its mre that Metahuman have stronger connection and voice to in The Stage. With Psychics liek True Telepathy able to actually affect the Stage and interact with it more. Unlike powers thats focuse on the material world.
 
I feel like I gotta ask: Baba Yaga is "retired" but it honestly feels like she's still fairly friendly with New Dawn. She still set up Domains for Novalight to have meetings in and sat in on them. Wolong was able to ask her for help with Neo Wonderland. And, heck, her power seems like it was mostly support rather than anything really field-ready.

What did she do while she was a part of OG New Dawn?
 
Bitterman said:
Name: Belle Sabreuse, Beatrice "Triss" Dupont
Keywords: Transmutation, Fitness, Enhanced Senses
Faction: Justice Unlimited
Potency: 9
Stats: HIT 8, ESPIONAGE 5, REPUTATION 3, OPERATIONS 5.
Ibis' Notes: Belle Sabreuse was reluctant to disclose information during, but my Sarah turned on the ol' Ibis charm! She begged for at least two hours on her hands and knees---just like how I got her mother to marry me! Now, unlike Belle Sabreuse, Margo agreed right away, but I wanted to put in the effort!
Belle Sabreuse can change the density of anything she touches to whatever she wishes. She claimed to be able to make her sword into a singularity, and it wasn't an empty boast. The only object denser that we've recorded is Black Swan's core. This includes clothing, which she can make into nearly impervious armor in the say way King often defends himself. Her touch can be used offensively as well, making objects brittle and easy to shatter. Her ability, however, is limited to inorganic matter. Her clothing is made of all synthetic material for this reason.
Like the Giant Slayer, she can wield her altered objects as if they were at their natural density, but, unlike the Giant Slayer, she does not have enhanced strength. Instead, her senses and reflexes are superhuman, making her a formidable foe with her sabre. Now, she---Sarah, you can stop begging! Only do that for someone you truly love!

Huh, She's a Transmutation user rather than being Fundamental Force Manipulation. Thinking on it now, that actually makes perfect sense given it lines up with what I've observed how Transmutation works in that it affects the properties of inorganic. Also Enhanced Sense and Fitness are really good powers to have for her. She sounds like she could be good enough to slice a bullet heading her way. Also the mention of King would mean Transmutation is part of his powerset along with Nuclear Force Manipulation (name I came up with).

Also first time seeing a recruited non-Ambrosia character get a Potency. She's a 9, huh? Same level as Zeno and Radiant Silvergirl, tho that doesn't mean she's as powerful.

[X] Plan: Bodyguard Duty

Alright, so my guess for True Telepathy is Ally Empowerment x2, Mental Manipulation x2, Clairvoyance x2. Let's cook.

[X] Plan: Mother of the Waters
-[X] [Féth Fíada] (6)
-[X] [Solferina] (4)
-[X] [Mister Hunch] (1)
-[X] [Daggermaw] (1)
-[X] [Hydrocity] (1)
-[X] Potency Reduction: 3
-[X] Total Potency: 10

Keywords: Clairvoyance x2, Ally Empowerment x2, Mental Manipulation x2, Elemental Manipulation x2, Transformation, Energy Manipulation, Invisibility, Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Senses

The goal is an elemental psychic build based on the mermaid of Brazilian myth that is the namesake of both Uiara and Yara. Assuming my guess is correct, the synergies are True Telepathy, Telekinesis, Battle Precognition, and Intangibility, which is pretty comparable to the current voting options (wow Daggermaw is OP). I also referenced the Master of Water build from a while ago that I really liked and would like to see in some form these days.

I envision the elemental control (not necessarily water, but come on now) as becoming an amplifier for psychic effects within a certain range in conjunction with the singing that mermaids are known for. So remaining within close range of her is especially unwise if you an enemy and great if you are a friend.

I think it's a nice thematic way to pay homage to Uiara while firmly establishing her own identity in choosing the hero life.

Finally, if the guess is correct I'm sorry Bitterman but I couldn't resist :V

[Vetoed] Plan: Shoot Annoy the QM
-[] [Chatroom] (4)
-[] [Wild Speaker] (3)
-[] [Mister Hunch] (1)
-[] [Eastwood] (1)
-[] Total Potency: 10

Keywords: Clairvoyance x2, Ally Empowerment x2, Mental Manipulation x2, Construct Creation

Mother of Waters got accepted while Annoy the QM was not, hmmmmmmmm

looks over keywords

It has the same keywords that I initially predicted True Telepathy to have: Clairvoyance x2, Mental Manipulation x2, and the potential final ingredient being either Enhanced Senses or Energy Manipulation. This is enlightening to look over even if this clearly isn't gonna win.

Also god, Daggermaw is just the gift that keeps on giving with that trio of keywords for a 1 cost.

I've just caught up, still need to read the side stories and such but I'm up to date with the latest posts. And may I just say… oh my god's this is amazing!!!! Bitterman you have a work of great art on your hands!

And I must say to thead at large that yes, it's true that we are surrounded by bastards who all want us dead simply because we won't role over and die when we are told to. But I'm starting to feel like Rocky going up against Apollo because none of them have any idea of what they're up against. Because every time they've tried to poke line wounded wolf they got their hands riped of.

And if your feeling scared, remember the words of our leading lady.

Put your heart into it. This deserves nothing less. And when these bastards knock us down, we will make sure to come up with a counter cross that they never see coming.

Red Huntress' scaling is just way, way too good to not pick. Multiple Synergies with her predation means this build will rarely, if ever, be outgunned since they keep rising to the challenges they face.

QM since Yara doesnt need a Prometheus Action to get her full powers does that mean If we have the Hero Slots and Ambrosia for it We can get 4 new members next turn?

Since Yara and Katie
Then Prometheus lets us get 2 Hero for it at start then md issue.
 
Last edited:
BTW funny enough for Katie we can probably say she was abandoned in FT for her cover since we know people drop kids there sane with nox.

Edit: Also rereading again looks like WH genuinely beloeve JU is in Cahoots with monarch and not even hours have an idea of us just making Metahumans guess being parasite to get powers means powerboosting is the only way they can thing of getting members.

Nah eventually means unless we roll really well wed need a follow up issue.

Also recruitng them probably needs us to take down DF and the first meeting is mainly negotiating with Spark. Plus since they mission is finale of T4 nit really gonna help in the mission that turn

Granted if we get 6 new Heroes in exchage for needing to burn money to expand id be cool with it.
