CYOA is a Chalice of Regrets: A Worm SI Quest

Reader mode
[X]Plan ENDKITTY!

[X]Summoning: Create temporary minions suited to your overall theme
[X]Sandbox: Wider-scale area control to warp your surroundings to your whims
[X]Power Mimic: Copy powers from nearby capes
[X]Temporal Control: Create areas of looping time
[X]40 Meters tall
[X]A Kitten

I know the vote is closed damn it, but I've only know noticed. But I shall give my reasoning for this anyway!

Summon minions because kittens all have minions! Would have voted for mind control(human) but we're a giant kitten. We already have that!

Sandbox because kittens always move things at their whims! To destroy, to sleep or to play!

Power Mimic because kittens love copying what others do! My kitten balances on two feet to punch things in the face like a human for example! And whatever a human can do, a kitten can do more adorably!

Temporal Control because kittens keep doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting a different result that never happens!

40 meters tall of fluffy goodness, no one will want to harm us! Thus is the power of the Endkitty that was missed due to my poor ass timing!

:cry:
 
Well, its fine with me, as summoning themed minions still fits the witchy theme to me. I admit I will miss the looks on the capes faces when "Power Mimic" and "Power Nullification" mixed. They enter the area of effect, and loose their powers, only for them to be instantly used against them. Actually, if we go with Summoning then we have one more power slot as it takes up only one while the nullification field cost two. Will we be defaulting to Illusions, or can we get a weaker version of the nullification field?

Some idle thoughts on the Weather Witch (as I shall call the concept until we get a name). Just as the other Endbringers are tracked, so too shall we. I could see Dragon tracking us via the constant electrical storm we are centered under where the lightning falls as rain.

Then when we attack, we have our own "doom timer" ability that will force everyone to try and stop us as soon as possible. Benny has "the area is now radioactive for the next couple of centuries," Levi has "this area is now a lake," and Simmy has "quarantine the area, everyone is now a ticking time bomb/I finished my DOOM device." We could be building up to this:


For those who dont know, that black ball is a few kilometers wide, is made of lightning, and is basically a nuke capable of destroying entire islands.
 
Oh-- while I'm thinking of it, I'm still looking for co-authors/conspirators on this little project. Basically, if I'm taking directives from the thread, I'd like a few other writers to be able to write interludes from other characters (the PRT, triumvirate, dragon, whoever), which should inject a nice element of unpredictability.

I never like Trump powers. They are boring.

Depends on the Trump power, and depends on how it's executed. Even nullification alone, the most boring due to marginalizing the theme of the setting, can still be quite interesting if focus is on its limits and how people abuse them, or if it examines how natural triggers— whose powers are rooted in brain and trauma— handle the absence differently, during and after.

Power mimicry, on the other hand, was apparently interesting enough to run at least a couple long-running stories, that do not significantly repeat events; probably because of the sheer variety of possibilities. Exploring mirror matches, combining powers that can't normally be, characters misinterpreting what the Trump character's power really is and acting on that; even just the straightforward options have plenty of potential, and this narrative tool (if properly limited) can do a lot more than that.

Power granting, on the second right pereiopod, is one of those abilities that has so much potential that few authors can handle it, or are even confident enough to try, but I'm fairly sure Unwelcome Storm could manage.


As an additional point in favour of [] Plan Castlevania's Architect, it would allow us to set up living safeguards in advance for when we go insane or get attacked. The PowerMim/PowerNull/Electromagnetism vote has no means of mitigating its own attack when urged to do so.

Edit: It would be neat if, like in a couple other forums, there were notices of when someone else posts while you're typing.
 
Man, a shame I missed the vote. Woulda aimed for a strangerbringer; no fanfare on arrival or anything, just slowly replace every single person in the city and then silent hill the place.
