A Bro's Life (AGG-ish Anime Bro Quest)

[LinkOnScepter]

Many anime archetypes have managed to stand the test of time, while others have fallen from grace. Some have risen from the ashes of obscurity to find new life. Most have retained the fundamental parts of their character. Others have been forced to change along with the advancing times and an aging audience.

However, one archetype has managed to remain relevant no matter how much things change:

The Bro.

The Best Friend.

The Main Man.

The Dude.

The Secondary Protagonist (in some cases), the Bro archetype can take on a wide variety of story roles. The supportive older brother (blood related or not). The stranger turned friend. The glue that holds the entire main group together. They can even be the rival/antagonist that pushes the protagonist to improve their lot in life.

But there is one universal law that they follow: They take care of the protag and make sure he gets the character development he needs to accomplish his goals. Whether this be through being a steadfast pillar of support that never lets his bro down, a constant goal set up so that his bro will never stop improving, or secretive figure who watches from the shadows but always seems to be there to assist the protag when they need it most.

But it is not all fist bumps and high fives. Being a protagonist's brother is a hefty weight. You can't let yourself look bad lest your bro lose faith in you, you have to make sure you give them the spotlight so they grow as a person, and you tend to become the protagonist emotional base...one which they would be lost without.

This is a risk that many Bros take on with a smile.

Because, at the end of the day, their bro is what's important.

And that will be the premise of this Quest.

You all will not be playing the part of the main protagonist.

You will be playing as the protagonist's Bro/Best Friend/Main Man.

However, before we get too far into the details, let us get some things straight about the story that you all will be apart of.

Starting off with the Genre of the story.

Your choice of Genre will have a major effect on how the story evolves. It will affect the tone, the power level, the characters, and more.

[] Shounen - Ah. The stereotypical genre for a Bro character. Not that that's a bad thing. This Genre is littered with this archetype and for good reason. This genre has it all. Over the top action sequences, epic tales of friendship, love, and loss, and badass dudes and girls doing badass things. This is a time where idealism rings true, and all you need to change the world is a never ending supply of hot-blood!

However, while Shounen shows can start noble and bright, they tend to get darker as the story goes on and the threat escalates. In fact, this Genre is extremely deadly to Bro characters because of a major rule: The cooler you are, the more likely you are to die or turn evil. Either to make the main character grow as a person, or to establish that the story has taken a seriously dark turn. And since the job of Bros is to be the coolest of the cool to support the protagonist, they tend to not live long.

Nevertheless, you must press on. For defying the odds is exactly what Bros do. And besides, this is a Shounen Genre. It's all about accomplishing the impossible...

[] Slice Of Life - The fuck is this? I thought we made Quest like this to escape real life? Seriously speaking, this Genre is similar to the Shounen Genre. Your job as a Bro is to ensure the protag develops into a decent person. The difference? There's not gonna be a lot of fighting, most of your challenges will be simple, real life ones, and things will generally focus on having a normal existence in the world. No world spanning quest, no over the top battles, no bad guys wishing you harm. Just a simple life.

Of course, all of us here know that life is anything but "simple". Things that are out of your control will happen. Sometimes they will fuck you over, sometimes they won't. But you just gotta take it one day at a time. And I believe that's the best way to describe this Genre: taking things one day at a time.

[] Seinen/Dark - If you were to compare these different Genres to "Difficulty Settings", this would be Hard Mode. This Genre is much the same as the Shounen Genre, but with "realistic" circumstances applied to them. What exactly does this entail?

Your enemies are numerous, almost uncountable. Their influence is great, they have a hand in almost every important part of society. They have the power to back all their plans up, and see them through. The populace is under their control, no one suspects they have an evil agenda. You are constantly being hunted, you can't rest your head even for a little bit. Allies are few and far between, it's either too dangerous for them or they're likely to betray you.

Basically, EVERYTHING is against you from the start. No pressure.

These are your choices of Genre. Keep in mind, none of these choices are set in stone. The choices you make, the events you trigger, the people you meet, and the causes you choose to fight for can all effect how the story evolves over the course of the Quest. What starts as a light-hearted Slice Of Life story can turn into a dark tale of trying to survive when the whole world is against you. Likewise, a Dark story where everything is against you from the start can be turned into a hopeful tale of succeeding against the odds. Choosing a Genre determines how things begin, not how they end.

---

WTF Is This: New Quest. You guys play as the Bro of the Main Protagonist. Basically, you're gonna be the Kamina to their Simon.

AGG-ish?: If anyone here remembers old Sage_Of_Eyes' "A Geek's Guide" Quest, think that. As in, I'm going to be using the same system idea (with Stats that go from 0 to 100, traits, SL Levels, and so on), but not just straight copy everything from them.

Pantomath: You know a lot of information. To the point where you're just about a walking library of History, English, and Math. It's kind of scary how much you're able to recall off the top of your head. Auto-Pass 1 History, English, or Math Check. This Auto-Pass works on multiple Checks, however they must happen one after the other.

Poker Face: You're really good at looking calm during a difficult situation. Both in cases where you are entirely sure that everything will turn out all right, and when you are bluffing while trying to find a way to reach a better outcome. All Perception Checks against you suffer a -15 malus.

Don't try lying...: People tend to lie. They do it for numerous reasons. Sometimes the reasons are good, other times they are not. You are aware of this...and can see through many of them. Not all, but enough that it won't be easy to fool your ears. Once per week, any mundane attempt to use Trickery against you Auto-Fails.

....To a professional liar: And while you will be able to see through their lies, they can't see through yours. Once per week, any Trickery Check against a mundane target Auto-Passes.

????

Traits:
Passing The Torch - You don't remember your parents, but you do remember that your time with them was a happy one.

You can't stop. Not until you know the truth. ???

Logical Guy - Emotions get in the way. They cause disruptions that can lead to distractions and can be used to easily mislead others. That will not happen to you...not again. (Bonus to Education, Culture, and Invention. Deductions to Empathy, Speech, and Perception)

The Intellectual - None of your peers seem to understand your educational acumen. Many have asked how you can be "so smart" all the time. Truthfully, it just comes natural to you. Many subjects that stump the other students or your brother, you can solve in a heartbeat. It's always been like this. And your life hasn't been easy because of it. (Certain Skills Start with Points already in them)

I Planned For This: Alexander 20: Once a Week, use Tactics: Alexander in place of an Evasion, Barter, or Empathy Skill Check.

New Skills: None

Evolves into: Nine-Tailed Fox

Martial Art: Shadow Fox Style - This style is known to be more...intimate than others. Primarily because it requires both the Human and Monster to be completely insync with each other to be used. The Partner uses its power to mislead its opponents to augment its Human's own abilities to misdirect. When working in unison, practitioners become completely undetectable by all but the divine. And an opponent the enemy can't see, is one they have no hope of defending against. Corresponding Skill: Evasion.

Traits:
- Shapeshifting: As a Kitsune, Yameko can shift between a full fox spirit form and a humanoid form that shares characteristics with her fox form. The humanoid form is better for communication and blending in, but the fox form gives her access to her full range of powers as well as the abilities of a fox.

- Master Of Disguise: Using her Magic, Yameko can easily disguise herself as different people. Her range of disguises is broad and increases with her Trickery, but she can't completely replicate someone else. People will be able to see through her disguise if she starts acting out of character for the person she's impersonating. And she has an easier time turning into someone of the same sex as her.

- Supernatural Charm: As a Kitsune, Yameko can easily charm others to get them do her being. When in use, +10 to any Persuasion or Trickery Action. If used against a male, increase Bonus to a +20.

Dammit, I like all the options. This is like a different version of BAHHSCQ.

No mere bonds can hold my writing spirit!

And yeah I realized how similar the two were in premise the moment I wrote it.

Oh yeah. You guys can post.

More for Seinen than for the Dark. I'd like some "realistic circumstances", but uncountable enemies with terrible influence is more of a Shounen deal with its focus on surpassing impossible odds. "Realistically impossible" odds would see the game ended sooner rather than later.

But hey, if I have to go through Hard Mode to get my fix, so be it.

In this genre, the Bro usually gets killed for Protagonist Character Development (tm). ...So yeah, why not?

Basically, this would mean things are more Guyver than the lighter Kamen Rider series.

Spoiler: Spoilers for Guyver Manga

For those that don't know, the Bad Guys manage to actually take over the world about half-way through the Manga, which turns the main group into fugitives.

Or the Bro sacrifices his former buddies while forcing the protagonist to watch.

So what type of anime styles would you follow for the shounen if it won also is it a harlem

So when does the vote end and rake up the tally

If by style, you mean whether this will be Martial Arts, Mecha, or Superpower, that will be the next vote. Alongside Setting.

As for Harem....maybe.

It's certainly not gonna be the focus, and if there is one the Harem will be focused around the MC not you.

And as the Protag's Bro, while you should be happy for him, you are also obligated to make sure anyone who tries to get with him is on the up and up. Don't want your little bro going through heartbreak...unless it's one of those "He needs to learn this himself" things.

Edit: I will probably put Harem to a vote as well.

So when does the vote end and rake up the tally

Depends. Will likely have this go through tomorrow at least.
