Ally to Good, Nightmare to You [Foundational Trait]: Your Dad speaks often and passionately about the importance of right behavior. Of everybody you know, you would call only him a true hero. He receives massive bonuses on all actions taken in what he believes to be the service of right.
Atoner [Foundational Trait]: Your father feels intense guilt for the mistakes he's made over the course of his life, having spent years being forced to watch as everything he strove for spun out of control as a direct result of his choices. He will nearly always decide to immediately commit to whatever course of action he views as permissible that will allow him to mitigate or reverse any consequences of his failures, and benefits from the full bonus of "Ally to Good, Nightmare to You" on any checks made in service to that course of action.
If we told him about our vision, and about how not only did Jaffur not deserve what happened to him but had instead of being mentally restructured (read: mind-raped into submission) had actually just been put in solitary confinement for what is now several years, for something he might do in the future... would that count as a failure on Dad's part - and would convincing him to undo Jaffur's sealing therefore receive bonuses from "Atoner"?
It would be really nice to do this without causing a civil war. We could ask the Senzus to temporarily seal our memories of plotting treason with them, while we make a final effort to resolve this peacefully.
If I had to guess it would receive a malus because of it. He wouldn't want to think that his efforts to fix the problems he caused just caused more problems.

That's not what the trait says though - it's about fixing past mistakes, not refusing to admit he made mistakes. We could frame it as a separate thing anyway - sealing Vegeta fixed the old mistake, but sealing Jaffur created a new one. Also, given our Pacifist nature, I really feel we ought to make some attempt at talking things out as a solution. I mean, look at this:
Kakara Goku [Strong]: Your father, while conflicted, confused, and angry about the tension between the two of you, has set that aside and reaffirmed his relationship with you. Jaffur's Sealing still hangs over you both, but he won't initiate that collision.
On some level, he's expecting this conversation. If we get our memories suppressed, or avoid having him Mind Delve us in the first place - which honestly, shouldn't be that hard, peacefully making a case isn't suspicious when he already knows our feelings on the matter - then it doesn't cost us anything to try. And succeeding in this manner avoids the massive fallout succeeding the other way would bring.
We can still make use of our organisation action, just as a way to a) prepare for this conversation and b) start work towards reintegrating the Senzus. EDIT: And c) to prepare for if we can't convince him, of course.
He would also have another option that we'd really dislike: Fixing the masque. Nobody involved wants Jaffur to suffer. How long do you think that his unique state will last when faced with a master sorcerer who is highly motivated to fix it?

That's certainly a risk. But the wording of Atoner is such that "He will nearly always decide to immediately commit to whatever course of action he views as permissible that will allow him to mitigate or reverse any consequences of his failures", and having the Masque removed is certainly much more immediate than having Dandelion figure out how to reapply the custom Masque-thing correctly this time. We can certainly point out that Dandelion's previous attempt didn't go well, arguably because the spell isn't what she claimed it was in the first place:
Lady Vegeta flips through a series of hand seals and says, "Paparapapa."
Jaffur snaps the binding your Dad has on him, but not to attack.
No, Jaffur breaks free simply to scream. You are Prince Jaffur Vegeta, the Scion of Vegeta.
Lady Vegeta starts crying, but continues her spell. "Paparapapa." You are Prince Jaffur Vegeta.
Jaffur curls up on himself, wailing. You are Jaffur Vegeta.
"It'll be over soon, Jaffur, I promise! Paparapapa!" You are Jaffur.
"Please!" shouts Jaffur, writhing. Jaffur.
In the distance, your Dad snags Betarel out of the air and tucks the boy under his arm. Ja...Jaff...Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Let him go!" screams Betarel. You are Jaron Somerlad.
Jaffur drops out of his transformation. You are eight years old, and have a Mom, a Dad, and a little sister.
"Paparapapa!" You sometimes resent your Dad, because he works so much and is gone so often, leaving you and your little sister alone.
Jaffur flickers between his base form and his Super Saiyan state, struggling to maintain control. But your Mom is always there for you.
His eyes lock on you and he screams, "HELP ME!" And you love her.
Lady Vegeta's hands twist through another array of seals. "Papara..." You love her with all your heart.
Jaffur screams to the heavens, flashing back into his transformed state... And nothing else is as important as that.
"PAPA!" You love her. You love her with all your heart. You love her. You love her with all your heart. You love her. You love her with...
...and then he crashes down through his base state and into his Masque before slumping back on the sand, eyes fluttering shut.
Anyway, I'd at least like to discuss it with Grandma and get her opinion. It's thanks to her we know about Berra's Atoner trait anyway - as his mother, she likely would be able to make a decent estimate of which way Berra would go on the decision, if presented to him.
And we are, at our core, a pacifist - we should make every effort to resolve this without unnecessary conflict.
EDIT: Also, part of the reason "fixing" the masque would be so bad is it would kill Jaron... and there's no way Berra would go for that.
I did not know there was invisitext there. Holy crap that's messed up. She didn't even try to do what she's claiming she did, of only sealing the bad parts of Jaffur away. She also went and artificially made Jaron love her. My hatred for the woman grows stronger.

We literallyjust got an IC explanation from Dandoler that it's basically certain that Jaffur being Super-Saiyan at the moment of Sealing, as well as the fact that he's an untrained Sorcerer who likely tried to Super-charge a spell to counter the Sealing is what did, in fact, make it into the 2-in-1 personality thing, rather than a complicated mental/emotional medication (which is what has happened with Vegeta Vegeta, Lord Vegeta of the Clan Vegeta). This is a threadmarked post.
Now, your next objection will be "she made him love her". But, if we were to drop the specific stressful situation of "my mother Sealed my father, and wants to do the same to me", which is to say, both the character-pick stuff at the beginning, and the bits and pieces we got from observing how Jaffur acted toward his mother versus his father, as well as her words and reactions, Jaffur loving his mother is entirely a true statement. So up until the line where it's repeating "you love her" over and over, it seems more like a template of "this is a child who is a normal human and not a Saiyan" than "MAKE HIM LOVE ME HAHAHAHA". Any attempt on Dandeer's part to "makeJaffur/Jaron love her" was unintentional, I'd wager, just like the Sealing wasn't supposed to make a second person. I'm open to @PoptartProdigy clarifying or correcting me, though.
That doesn't mean Dandeer's path was correct, but it means that trying to act high and mighty and angry about her doing things she never did is pointless and counterproductive.
But maybe it gets in the way of the murderboners some folks in this thread have, shit if I know.

As far as I can tell, Jaron is what Jaffur would've been if the Sealing went through with no problems. He's still very competent and socially stunted, but without the violent instability. So if Jaron is the intended result, then so too is the love - the unnatural, overly-strong love that is more important to him than himself, his sister, morality, or anything. Considering Jaffur just dumped all his ki and magic into breaking the Seal briefly, passing a willpower check to do it as well, just to tell us not to kill his prison because it's his brother, I find it hard to believe that Jaron loving his mother more than his sister by such a degree - or even at all - is normal or natural. Considering how Jaron as a whole turned out (i.e. pretty much what Dandeer wanted), I'd say it was on purpose.

We aren't claiming he didn't love his mother, we're saying it's terrible that a) she not only tried to make it so that he couldn't not love her and b) she attempted to reprioritise his personality so that this was literally the most important thing in the world to him, and this is reflected in Jaron. It's definitely attempted mind-rape, and I don't know why you'd argue otherwise?
You know what, no, it's not fucking worth it. When vote-time comes I'll vote against murderboner, but I'm not spending 20 minutes typing up a wordy and semi-well-thought-out response.
I don't think Dandeer is an innocent lily. I think she does need to face consequences. I do not believe that this should entail death. And I think forgiveness, or something akin to it, would be more about Kakara and Jaffur than it would be about Dandeer.
But I'm not wasting any more energy tonight on restarting this freaking merry-go-round of pointless bickering.
The invisitext would have been visible if it was something Kakara knew IC. But plainly, I don't have a problem with you all knowing about it. My assumption is that you'll metagame to hell and back with anything I give you, so nothing leaves my hands that I have trouble with you learning.
That said, this is again not something that Kakara is aware of IC. At that time your powers were dormant, the extent of their influence being your chats with Gohan. Just like the previous interludes peeking into Jaffur and Dandeer's thoughts are not meant to be IC knowledge, neither is this. It's included to give you all a bit more insight on the issue and what it's like to be the dominant personality in Jaffur/Jaron's body in that moment. It's also me offering a peak into what a JaffurQuest would be like in those moments. So to an extent, it is highly indicative of things. However, everybody in this story is an unreliable narrator; the older they are, the more things they have to cloud their view of the situation. The invisitext snippet is nowhere near as conclusive as some people are taking it. As previously pointed out, the present Seal is the result of a Master Sorcerer under extreme emotional stress running up against the undirected, existentially terrified flailing of a Super Saiyan novice Sorcerer. What resulted is not what anybody intended and should not be taken as proof of anybody's goals at the time.

Yes and correct. People have argued that we should kill her but it was decided by not only the players, but by Kakara herself, that Jaffur would decide her fate. IC, the only reason Dandeer isn't paint by Kakara's hand by now is because she's saving her for Jaffur.

I'm ok with Kakara being flawed enough that her pacifism has a Dandeer-shaped hole. That's literally the only reason I'm not typing this to say, "Pacifism means we won't support Jaffur having judgement over her, because we KNOW it will lead to her being killed."
I'm hoping we can get into Jaron's headspace soon, and start doing some hot brain-on-brain therapy action. Dude needs someone to talk to.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! DOWN WITH 2016! Here's hoping the upcoming is less blatantly miserable.
Gazing Over the Horizon
You briefly consider asking Jaron to come with, but on balance you don't know if Maya even wants him there, and he's probably tired of chatting after all that. You nod and smile to him. "Okay. See you!" Then you turn and walk over to Maya as Jaron steps back into the house. "What's up?"
"I fo- found something cool," says Maya, tugging on your arm. You give her a sharp glance. She hasn't been stuttering around you, not lately. She flushes under the attention. "Come on!" With another tug, she turns away and leaves the Schultz's back yard, heading off into the bushes.
Sophie's house runs up against the edges of a forest preserve. Nature reserves in general are plentiful on Garenhuld; the people here don't spread out much. This one, you've always loved. You come here for meditation, sometimes. The ground is familiar to you.
But even as you step into the edges of the trees, Maya is already a ways ahead, ducking around behind a bend in the path. "Come on, Karen!"
"Slow down, Maya!" you say, frowning. "Bears live here!"
And indeed, they do. One tried to eat you once when you were really deep in meditation. Apparently the wildlife on Earth was a lot more timid around humans, but Garenhulders keep to their cities so much that even some animals in the reserves rarely see them, and aren't afraid.
To you, they're cute, but Maya is squishy. You light up your ki senses and fire off a ping. Nothing conspicuous, and a very low power level, but enough to get a solid return. You boost to fifty units and head off after her, hoping to get her within sight.
It actually takes a lot longer than you expected. Maya is moving. She must know these woods better than you do.
You frown, lifting off of the ground and kicking yourself off of a tree in order to make a faster turn. How often is she in here? How does she even expect me to keep-
You skid to a halt, snow spraying up from beneath your heels as you enter a clearing.
Maya is panting in the center, hands on her knees and steam rising from her lips. As you make your entrance, she looks up, grinning.
-up?
You slowly rise, reviewing how fast you were moving on your way in. The answer, of course, is fifty units of power level fast.
"Maya," you say, slowly, "how did you get here so fast?"
"I know the forest," she says. "I'm i- in here a lot. Not hard to beat somebody fa- faster than you if you know all the right turns!" She giggles around the nervous stuttering.
You purse your lips. "Maya, I know I said it already, but bears live here. You shouldn't be in here. They could eat you."
All of Maya's cheer vanishes beneath a sudden, angry scowl. "You sound like them. 'Maya, don't go into the woods! Maya, stop asking so many questions! Maya, be a good girl and come inside!'"
The outburst is all the more affecting for how unexpected it is. Maya doesn't really snap when she's angry or sad, she closes down. You take a step back in shock. "Maya, I just meant-"
"I know that bears live here, Karen!" she says, crossing her arms. "I'm not a dummy. They're as big as a car and they don't get sneaky. I didn't miss them."
You fall silent, nonplussed. You can't exactly tell Maya about how many stupid hikers you've had to save from bears on your own trips into the woods. Having to carry away a full-grown bear faster than human eyes can follow without turning the bear into paste, without anybody being the wiser, is a telling experience. Most of the hikers really don't notice the bears.
Maya tosses her hair. "I know that everybody else is afraid of the woods or going to space or thinking about people on the moon, but I know you're different. You never tell me to be quiet." She frowns at you.
Okay, whatever this is, you need to de-escalate. You put your hands up. "You're right, I'm sorry. But Maya, bears are as big as a car. What good is seeing one if they can still eat you?"
She grins. "You just gotta be faster!"
...riiiiiiiight.
You shake your head, walking up to your friend. "...okay. Maybe you could at least stay on the trails?"
"If I did that, I wouldn't have found what I want to show you," she says, smiling.
"Right, about that," you say. "What do you want to show me?"
Her smile then goes away. "Well, I didn't really find it, it was more, we- well, I- I-" She gulps, stopping herself for a moment to recover. "I-" She swallows the word and needs a second pause. She stares at you for a moment, mute.
Your suspicion evaporates under your sudden concern. Maya usually doesn't speak to people outside the Misfits. She usually can't. The stutter slows her down and makes her feel unbelievably embarrassed. She can't bring herself to keep it up, and just stops. You never see her get that bad with the group, though. Whatever this is is big.
So you step forward and give her a hug. Ignoring how tightly she hugs you back, you say, deliberately cheerful, "Hey, why don't you tell me a story, okay? Easy, right?"
You feel her swallow. "We- well- I- I think..." She pulls back. "Ma- -be in a-" She stops, trembling. "-wanna-" She swallows. "-sho-"
You take a half-step forward. "Maya, it's okay, just take a second to-"
Your eyes widen in shock as Maya phases out of view and breaks the sound barrier, moving faster than your still-power-depleted eyes can track and humans don't move that fast-
Your power level spikes again to one-fifty and your aura lights up on reflex, giving you a single second to see Maya an inch away from you in a full-out charge before she-
thud
You take a single step backwards under the force of the blow to your stomach. It doesn't hurt, but you weren't prepared for this.
"When I was six, I got lost in the woods."
tsew
bang
Maya phases out again before you can even have a proper look at her and reappears at your back, kicking you into a slide.
"I didn't know where Mamma was and I was scared and little. And then a bear found me."
tsew
tump
tsew
You kip up to your feet out of the slide and catch Maya's next strike before it can land. Saiyan instincts, buried under your Masque and years of habit and thought, start to sing at the sudden impact.
The brown-haired girl vanishes again before you can even catch yourself.
"I don't remember it. I just remember teeth. Lots of them...just scraping off of my face like rock. It didn't hurt at all."
She reappears, launching into a flurry of blows that threatens to overwhelm your guard.
"Nobody believed me, and Mamma grounded me for a month for telling stories. I started to hide it. I acted like a normal girl. But I kept coming back to the woods to see if I could do more."
You spike your power level again, this time to three hundred, and as Maya abruptly fades back into view, catch her next strike.
The two of you strain against each other for a minute, and you get your first good look at her.
Maya has a focused look in her eyes that you recognize from any of a hundred sparring practices with kids your age. Her hair still whips around her face from the strike in that frozen moment between blows. And an aura, snow-white, flares brightly around her body, merging with your own, which in your Masque is as white as hers is.
Her eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly start to match her, and then she spins into a kick with a shout, her power level shooting up yet again to settle at four-fifty.
You barely dodge, backpedaling. Powering up at first was reflex, and honestly unavoidable. That first strike of hers would have sheared you in half if you hadn't powered up. It wasn't a murder attempt. Even if you could even start to believe that of Maya, there are better ways. It was a deliberate provocation. Maya knows about you.
The only question is which part she knows about.
And so, for now you refrain from powering up any further, even as Maya proceeds to hand you your ass.
"But then I met you," she says, phasing back into view for just long enough to sweep your legs. "Strong and smart and pretty, and good at fighting. And you wanted to fight. I thought I could show off a little. But even when I hit you as hard as I could without lighting up, you didn't even flinch. At least at first."
You wince. Okay, maybe in retrospect you were a little clumsy about hiding how tough you were when sparring first started. You can remember that in the first session you actually let Sophie kick you right in the stomach and let it bounce. But you got a lot better once you got used to the Masque!
"But then you started to act more normal," says Maya, appearing behind you just as you haul yourself to your feet and shoving you across the ground. "You started getting better at fighting, but you acted like it hurt when we hit you. You were getting used to being that strong. So, that's when I figured it out!"
You slam to a halt and catch Maya's next strike with a grunt, straining to hold your friend at bay. "Figured out what?" you say, trembling.
"You're like me," says Maya, her eyes hopeful and scared all at once. "You have superpowers too!"
And with the light from both of your auras casting shadows across the clearing, it's really impossible to deny that.
The only question is: how do you play this? For this vote, you may chose all of the following that apply. This vote will be by plan. Vote weighting is in effect; fractions of a vote will be subject to mathematical rounding (i.e., to the nearest integer, with .5's being rounded up). A given plan will be weighted according to the single most severe weight in effect on it (i.e., if it has one sub-vote with x0.7 weighting, and one with x0.5, the entire plan will be subject to x0.5 weighting). In no proposed plan will Kakara fight to disable, cripple, or kill Maya unless the plan writer explicitly specifies so. The default is non-lethal, non-harmful force.
[ ] (x0.5) First things first: power up to an even thousand and put a swift end to this. If Maya somehow has enough power to not lose to this, keep going up in increments of a thousand until she doesn't anymore.
[ ] Keep the fight going for a bit, drawing her out step by step; before you settle this down you want to see exactly how much power Maya has socked away.
-[ ] (x0.7) Then win.
-[ ] Then throw the fight.
-[ ] Then de-escalate.
[ ] (x0.1) BOW BEFORE KAKARA, PUNY HUMAN! HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST LIKENESS BETWEEN US?! Go saiyan. Put the fear of you into this upstart (my goodness is this out of character, but it amuses me to include it).
-[ ] (x0.01) In fact, go whole hog on this. Super Saiyan, now. Clearly this is a warranted and proportional response to the situation at hand.
[ ] Throw the fight. Maya seems to have concluded that you've recently unlocked your ki abilities, and thus should be weaker. Let her keep thinking that, rather than giving her reason to wonder when you learned so much.
[ ] Disengage and de-escalate. Clearly, Maya started the fight to distract herself from how scared she was sharing this secret, but she's done that now. You can stop fighting.
[ ] Hug Maya.
[ ] Talk about this with Maya.
-[ ] Write-in how exactly (write-ins should not be scripts, but should broadly cover what you want to ask and are prepared to share, along with general tone. Vote weighting will be assigned case-by-case).
[ ] Write-in.
THIS VOTE IS NOW CLOSED.
This kicked my ass! But I'm glad to have it up. I've been waiting on this reveal for a while.
Maya has been a severely lonely girl for quite some time, on the same level as Jaron. You might recall Jenny remarking on the similarities when Jaron first met the girls. Maya, as a fiercely curious and adventurous young girl, has been out of place in Garenhulder society all her life. The stutter is both a symptom and a cause of this; it's the result of some severe anxiety, and being unable to get a sentence out makes it worse. A stutter -- a symptomatic one, that is -- isn't really the cute thing that fiction often depicts it as. People with stutters can often try a word three, four, five, six, seven times, swallowing the same vowel on each attempt, and after all that still not get it out. Or they won't even be that coherent, and be reduced to stuff that sounds frankly like gibberish. It's intensely embarrassing and frustrating for them, and many of them stop trying entirely after a while. I don't claim to be an expert on the matter of stutters, but I hope I've done a bit to show what it can look like in Maya's character. Fortunately, her stutter is psychological rather than the symptom of nerve damage, and thus she isn't irreversibly stuck with it.
And she also has superpowers, which tend to improve any situation.
Remember, everybody, while the above update does feature Kakara being placed on the back foot, it wouldn't have happened at all had you not chosen to go after Maya (in fact, every plan -- except the joke plan that had "raise grades" and then a thorough grounding in almost every field of human scholarship -- featured this option). She's only sharing this with you because she noticed your attempts to get her alone since the start of the year. Your agency remains intact. It's just that Maya has some too, and held more informational cards here. But, ultimately, while she holds more informational cards, when it comes to cards of action, you are holding a royal flush.
Hey, Poptart, I was hoping to ask you a few- Dear LORD WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING TO THAT METAPHOR?!
As previously announced, I have decided what the reward will be for this piece of fanart, as drawn by @Krekian and posted by @Andres110 (thanks, you two!). Some people suggested a bonus to finding the androids on account of Kakara's strong resemblance to 18. No for that one; the picture really has nothing to do with that. It also has little to do with schoolwork and even I'm tired of that argument. I'm also not quite generous enough to just give you a power pole because it's winter festival season. Re-rolls are outside the purview of rewards. The best suggestion I saw was to give a bonus towards the manual development of a trait given that it's a picture of Kakara, so I will go with that one. Given that you're taking "The Examined Life" for "Driven" later this year, you can expect this bonus to go to work real quick. Once again, thanks for the first bit of fanart the quest has! The bonus has been logged as a greater bonus and the picture is under the new "fanart" section in the Lore Screen.
That's all for now, folks! I hope you all enjoy the update. Please share what thoughts you have about it. Also, what do you all think this update's title is in reference to? It's not terribly clear, mind, but any ideas? Have fun!
...
As Maya's secret is revealed, Kakara is faced with the dilemma of responding to her friend's revelation! How will the young Scion react to the revelation of a human with ki abilities? As the alien invasion draws ever-nearer, what further shocks lie ahead? Will this be one threat too many for the Exiles' Masquerade? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball AE!

MOAR. Now that I have seen this, I want this present in every update from now on.
Oh my god that music. When you hear it you just know that something completely out of the normal is happening. As soon as that came on I was like "Oh shit this is gonna be something." And lo and behold, it was something.
EDIT: I'm thinking we should maybe do something like this:
[] Go Saiyan. After what she's shown us, the trust she's put in us, she deserves the same.
Okay, so Maya is a human mutant. That's neat, actually.
Kinda want to tell her that it's not actually a superpower and that everyone would be capable of learning this to prevent the power from getting to her head, but I'm not quite sure how we can tell her that without her getting suspicious.
..Maybe tell her about our seer powers and attribute our teaching to the old man we see in our dreams (Gohan)?
[X] Keep the fight going for a bit, drawing her out step by step; before you settle this down you want to see exactly how much power Maya has socked away.
-[X] Then de-escalate.
Have a little fun first. Then the secret.
Then maybe we can work that into getting ki trained Misfits
I've been waiting on this reveal for a while.
