... you know, I am surprisingly okay with that reality.
Not because I want Jacob to explore different venues of villainy, but because it could be more like another little sister, or something else entirely [platonic] (like a fanatically loyal minion with a cold interior with just a bit of warmth for her lord).
... Yes, it's not a waifu then, but dammit it's not the wording, but cute girls that matter here.

. . . *shudders* I... don't even know how to respond to that.

Part of the 'want' was the look of surprise, and shock on/in both Vivian's and Jacob's faces/reactions that segues into argument, and then agreement that they both stop and try to figure out what just happened. But Vivian still becomes an Ebon Magical Girl either way. That'd require it to be a surprise for/to Jacob.

If you can get others to vote for it, I will vote for making the sister our first magical girl. She should be a good and loyal minion.

Well, I would... you know what, to hell with being tentative.

  • [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.
    ... and 12 more.
    [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] 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.
    [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] 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 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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]Miss pretty mask, empty soul. (The Middle School one)

*sigh* Guys, be serious for a minute, okay? Don't vote for things simply because "lol, this would be so funny".

Dragging our sister into this is going to complicate things. We'd have to explain things to her and there's too much risk of that going wrong, if not now then surely later when she's found out we're trying to revive a Great Evil. What's worse is that she could tell mom and dad. And that's bad.

You know, that'll need, like... at very least a crit on [] Friends and Family. And yes, I want to see that too.
However most likely she's already a magical girl herself...
... Does it stop us though? Can we make her a super-special-black-and-white-Mahou-Shoujo, wielding powers of Light and Edge?
She'll be unstoppable.

[jk] Write-in: Count Cuddles. He's a great pet, so maybe he'll be even better magical girl?

Seriously though, yer right- we need to know if she even wants that kind of power. For all we know all she wants is a normal, quiet life, and career in fashion maybe.

True. True. But just imagine the two meeting (especially if Jacob didn't know it was Vivian) Jacob would be surprised that Vivian was bored and was potential for EMG, and Vivian would dis our Ebon outfit, and then they would argue about that, get into the magical girl issue, argue some more about making wishes, and then Vivian would end up making a wish while agreeing to work for her brother, becoming an ebon Magical Girl, and then the two would be like "What just happened?"

*Le Sigh* sadly my oratory skills are extremely lacking, so I simply cannot write even such an omake for it... though I dearly would like to see the scene.
 
Guys. Chances are that our would be magical girl is our lil' sis's classmate. So we'll be able to them complain and/or gossip about the other.

Or, maybe, they both could complain/gossip about us!
"My brother is a massive idiot. I mean, lately he just went and gone to some far-away trailer for no reason!"
"You think that's bad? Lately he ordered me to bring a bunch of boxes for his pet!"
"Yeah! Wait... how do you know my brother? And why does he order you around?!"

She sounds like an excellent choice for our first Ebon Magical Girl.
 
I'm actually more surprised our parents haven't noticed anything. I get that our father might be in denial but how about our likely former magical girl mother. Although it would be fun to have the three siblings working together. Hope our sister doesn't keep secretly adoring us though, that would just be creepy if ebon power amplifies it.

To all those voting for the starting pubescent... err the middle school attendie. You're missing a large opportunity with the high school lass that's our age. Our own, devoted, tsundere; possibly even yandere. That'll cause situations that almost beg for harems to grow from.

Yeah...no I do have to ask though is the middle school one going to be insanely talented. Since it says she good at all the club she joins so...
Still sticking with the high school one for now.

By the way just how powerfully is Jacob right now compared to others. And can we see our friends characters sheet? At least the ones who've we've found out their secrets.

I'm seeing this as the 'pilot program' of the Ebon-brand of wishing stones, and the candidate our beta tester. Nows the time to see what works, what doesn't and make fixes as needed.

THEN we expand recruitment.

Yeah, not in the mood to come up with a team. Let's get a Renegade on our team.

True enough what do you guys think are the odds that something goes wrong. Therefore causing us to create ourselves an enemy.
