Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

I disagree with you on the 'Taylor Hebert is not a big deal' part.

She started out as a nobody, then became a warlord over a few weeks, at most 3 months. She killed one of her world's greatest heroes, then joined that same heroes former organization. After the apocalypse started, she managed to get someone to modify her power, then used that to bodyjack damn near every person with powers on her home world, and quite a few from other worlds. She then used that powers to essentially bully a god into letting her kill him. Taylor Hebert is very much a big deal.
*Looks again* Yeah, but Divinity isn't really justified, imo. Legend, sue, maybe Epic, but not Divinity.
Also, you should probably find a better picture for her than madama butterfly, it really doesn't fit her.
Given her endgame line-up, I would honestly give Taylor at the end of her story decent chances of killing Gilgamesh, yes.
As a fan of both franchises, I can tell you with complete certainty that 1v1 with Gil she stands no chance. Like, actual 0% chance.

I'd consider Gilgamesh to be in the same tier as Scion and there's no way she is gonna get him to kill himself. She's Legend at best.

Do you want proper German? If so have some suggestions/corrections.


Tote Sense (dead scythe) or Totensense/Sense der Toten (scythe of the dead)

Ketten von Sterblichkeit

Ketten der Sterblichkeit


Der Kaiserins Armee or Armee der Kaiserin.

Beerdigung Regalia (Level 10):

I can't really come up with something that people actually use, but you could use Beerdigungsgewand.

Zeit zerfällt alles:

This one is a bit tricky, but there is a saying that goes 'Die Zeit besiegt alles' (time beats everything) which should be pretty close.

As a fan of both series, in a 1v1 between Gil and Taylor, Gil would win. But then if Taylor had fought her opponents one on one she would have died against Lung on her first night out. Taylor does not fight fair. She will scout you out, find out what you care for most, what your weaknesses are, and she will leverage that info into such a advantageous situation for herself, that I've rarely ever seen a person match her. Taylor Herbert given time to plan? To learn? To become her most dangerous? Yeah. I could definitely see her taking Gilgamesh then.
 
*Looks again* Yeah, but Divinity isn't really justified, imo. Legend, sue, maybe Epic, but not Divinity.
I...Ok, I can see those two, although I currently maintain that Divinity is a better fit for her.

Also, you should probably find a better picture for her than madama butterfly, it really doesn't fit her.
Yeah, I tried was one of the better fitting pictures I found. The others were either completely inhuman, too cute, or too...fanservice-y. I'd gladly accept help in trying to find a better picture though.

Hence the 'with her endgame line-up' comment.

I'd consider Gilgamesh to be in the same tier as Scion and there's no way she is gonna get him to kill himself. She's Legend at best.
That's because Gilgamesh, unlike Scion, has a working brain, experience with human emotions, a motive beyond just 'pass the time till the universe ends', and the ability to effectively plan ahead.

Do you want proper German? If so have some suggestions/corrections.
Yes, please. Thanks for the help, I had to resort to an online translator to get something close to what I wanted.

Except that's skill. The argument is that she isn't powerful enough to just walk up and smack Gilgamesh, King of Heroes down. Even her end-game is just mind control and synergy with other people.

She's not a giant robot, just one of the most important cogs in one.

My mistake then. Yeah Power wise Taylor would get pasted. I just thought the argument was being made she wouldn't stand a chance in any scenario.
 
For a moment, I thought I walked in on an expy-orgy. Trippy...

Construction
-Limitless Horizon grabs some nearby materials to create an appropriate building. Her magic makes the buildings work despite being tiny, but she needs the raw materials to be approximately what that building needs. Usually she turns cars into turrets. In wild areas she can make things from stone to mine, smelt, and assemble more advanced products. (Think Factorio, the Magical Girl)

Diamond Mind

Limitless Horizon is outrageously smart when dealing with things, as opposed to people.

Practitioner
-Allows the creation and upgrading of spells

Might edit/add/change/mutilate a few things but might be usable...

Will consider.

Hmm, a few of these might be better off as not being Magical Girls. In particular, Ragyo and Precia, since they're, ya know, adults. I'd still love to see expy's of the two though if our crazy QM can fit them into the plot. Ragyo with the UD and Precia off doing her own thing? Both sound reasonable.
Agreed. Lots of potential for many different things.

Also I talked myself out of my own plan :V.
Strange feeling, no?

I wasn't planning on posting more expies without prompt or confirmation of more heroes being wanted.

I don't really feel confident enough to make character sheets though. The first two affinities should be simple enough though.
Don't worry, if any are interesting enough I'll take a peak at them and see if I can edit them to be usable.

I was bored. Have Cheater McCheaterson right after she became a magical girl. :V

So, any issues, questions, or complaints?
The fist might make me grab a translator, but interesting enough to catch my attention.

The third... Feel more comfortable with Legend or Epic.

Maybe a Story Teller or Bard affinity that's even slower than Story Maker, being a negative exponential (each level has smaller increases than the previous level, in addition to a greater cost)?
I'm not that cruel. A level cap in power would lead to a quick death for a MG in this setting.

Failing to grow stronger when they can is the leading cause of death among magical girls.



On the Kehpri vs Gilgamesh discussion:

I'm not getting into that shit, you guys can duke it out all you want. Just make sure to keep it civil and arguments reasonable.
 
The fist might make me grab a translator, but interesting enough to catch my attention.
I'm glad to hear that. If your curious as to what the spell's, abilities', and weapon's names mean, I'll gladly explain.

The third... Feel more comfortable with Legend or Epic.
Oh...all right. So since Divinity I out...I'll go with Epic. Excuse me while I go edit Taylor's profile with this in mind. On a side note, would you happen to where I could get decent SFW pics of humanoid butterfly girls? The only one I found either didn't fit what I was looking for, was too cute, or was too fanservice-y to really appeal to me.

EDIT: Also, could you give an outline of what a beginning Epic girl's stats look like?

Does this character design fit the style of what you're looking for, do the wings need to be even more butterfly like, or does the cuteness need to be even less than this?

It doesn't quite fit. It's just a little too cute as is. I'm looking for a pic that's sort similar to her Skitter costume in color, that doesn't look outright monstrous or like the wearer belongs in a hentai mag.

However, I did find a decent picture of Taylor in costume and out of costume.

Yeah, it's all just mind control. Not even a very big range of mind control, because it goes down once she concentrates the effect. Khepri was powerful because she mind controlled powerful people.

Of course, because apparently none of the top ten magical girls in existence have mental defenses she eats literally everything. I mean, even the basic mooks of the Children of Nightmare could enslave the best humanity has to offer just by getting off a panicked mind control spell, so obviously nobody else has any better resistance.

##### NetTally 1.7.0

[X] Plan Sega-ing Alive
-[X] First, someone will call Rei and tell her to get here ASAP. Tell her she shouldn't start blasting things, and that she should be as nonlethal as possible.
-[X] Next, the team will try to talk Sega down. Ask her what's she's planning, why she's doing it, things like that. Ask her if Anastasia would want this, and why she might not. Buy as much time as possible through talking.
-[X] If possible, Gabriel should try to designate Sega as friendly and Sega's control seal as hostile, then activate her Aura of Light.
-[X] If/when things turn violent, the following actions should be taken.
-[X] Jame will focus on tanking Sega's attack. James will focus on keeping Sega in one place. Gabriel will grab Solid Core and fly away from Sega, then focus on keeping away from Sega.
-[X] Samael will Libras Sega whenever he gets an opportunity, buff the team, then focus on using his Purge spell against Sega's control seal. If it looks like she's coming close to killing someone, he will switch to focusing on preventing her from acting too often by sniping her weapon.
-[X] Michael will focus on taking Sega down non-lethally if possible. Crippling her mobility, and maybe shooting her control seal to see if that does anything.
-[X] If/when Rei gets here, she should also try to take Sega down non-lethally. Chains of the Earth will shut her down.
-[X] Ultimately, while the goal is to take down Sega while keeping her alive, the team's survival should be a higher priority. If it looks like taking Sega down without killing her isn't going to work, or if it looks like Team GEAR is going to die, unleash full lethality.
No. of Votes: 8

[X] Plan Sega-ing Alive - Run Instead of Kill Off Edition
-[X] James and Gabriel will focus on tanking Sega's attack. Gabriel will try to get the lower powered and/or magical attacks, while James will focus on keeping Sega in one place.
-[X] Samael will Libras Sega whenever he gets an opportunity, buff the team, then focus on preventing her from attacking too often by sniping her weapon.
-[X] Michael will call Rei and let her know that Nepgear needs her help. Tell her that when she arrives, she shouldn't start blasting anything. He will then focus on taking Sega down non-lethally if possible. Crippling her mobility, and maybe shooting her control seal to see if that does anything.
-[X] If/when Rei gets here, she should also try to take Sega down non-lethally. Chains of the Earth will shut her down.
-[X] Ultimately, while the goal is to take down Sega while keeping her alive, the team's survival should be a higher priority. If it looks like taking Sega down without killing her isn't going to work, or if it looks like Team GEAR is going to die, run away and cave in the roof behind.
No. of Votes: 1

[x] "It would break Nepgear's heart if we killed each other, so...if you behave yourself, then when we win, we'll see about just disabling you and taking you along with us."

-[X] (As James). Shoot Solid Core with a burst from your rifle. When everyone starts to recover declare that you will kill her yourself before you allow her to be forced to destroy her friends.
-[X] If Sega doesn't back down shoot Solid Core again. Sega will hopefully be pinned to keep Nepgear from being hit. While she is occupied yell for Sam to hit the seal with his purge spell.
-[X] If Sega does back down grab Nepgear and skedaddle.

Yeah, it's all just mind control. Not even a very big range of mind control, because it goes down once she concentrates the effect. Khepri was powerful because she mind controlled powerful people.

Of course, because apparently none of the top ten magical girls in existence have mental defenses she eats literally everything. I mean, even the basic mooks of the Children of Nightmare could enslave the best humanity has to offer just by getting off a panicked mind control spell, so obviously nobody else has any better resistance.
You have a point, Taylor's main shtick is indeed mind control. However, her other best tricks are variety, and planning. She doesn't stick to using one kind of bug, she didn't stick to just one kind of parahuman against Scion. She varied her arsenal, she changes her plans, she adapted to changing circumstances. She grabbed whatever advantage she could get, then did her best to milk every one of them for everything it was worth.

Also, I get that the Top 10 will probably have some defences against mind control. Here, Taylor has something she never did in Worm: an actually decent weapon, AKA her Mantis Butler. Taylor's thing here is being the commander, able to see everything her insects can do she can better adapt and meet her goals. Her weapon, the butler, gives her a combination bodyguard and heavy hitter she can send wherever she wants.

Of course, because apparently none of the top ten magical girls in existence have mental defenses she eats literally everything. I mean, even the basic mooks of the Children of Nightmare could enslave the best humanity has to offer just by getting off a panicked mind control spell, so obviously nobody else has any better resistance.


I can't tell if she's Sufficient Velocity or Minecraft Steve.

You have a point, Taylor's main shtick is indeed mind control. However, her other best tricks are variety, and planning. She doesn't stick to using one kind of bug, she didn't stick to just one kind of parahuman against Scion. She varied her arsenal, she changes her plans, she adapted to changing circumstances. She grabbed whatever advantage she could get, then did her best to milk every one of them for everything it was worth.

Also, I get that the Top 10 will probably have some defences against mind control. Here, Taylor has something she never did in Worm: an actually decent weapon, AKA her Mantis Butler. Taylor's thing here is being the commander, able to see everything her insects can do she can better adapt and meet her goals. Her weapon, the butler, gives her a combination bodyguard and heavy hitter she can send wherever she wants.

Khepri didn't do mind control.

She controlled bodies. Might seem insignificant as a difference, but it is important. Since people under her control were aware, were freaking out internally, and one even had a panic attack to the point of near death?

No, not mind control. Not with Khepri.

I think Rei is, she's immune to status effects.

I...had actually forgotten about that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Anyway, I've edited Monarch Butterfly's profile to account for her change from Divinity to Epic. Anyone want to hear why I chose Taylor's other two Affinities?
