The reigning storm plan is to literally become a Gavel making Gavels. To become a spiteful demagogue in vein of Hitler raising up a parade of hateful normals to murderous vigilante with unrelenting force.
Their tagline line is literally burn the world to save the world. It's making a hate that'll escalate to an inevitable and dark conclusion until it all burns up or you catch a clue.
It is entirely to likely to spiral out of control into being one of those marvel anti mutant group.
Destruction is easy it's the reason why the worlds fucked, why emma in particular got fucked, and why Taylor in the regretted so much shit. Building is hard but it's what's needed, what'll help emma grow, and ultimately what won the pot if in a dark way. And it also feel less cancerous to play.
Well, that's a lot of tosh.
Tell me, Larekko, have you ever heard of such a thing as a character arc? The idea that a character might not start in the same mental space that they might end the story in? Have you, in fact, ever heard of such thing as a challenge? Because from your "Building is hard but it's what's needed, what'll help emma grow, and ultimately what won the pot if in a dark way" it doesn't seem that you have. You're trying to fix her issues in chargen and that's just dull.
You're also flailing around about Storms. I notice you're willfully ignoring that the flaw of Storms is that she's an extremist towards a goal the Radiant have, not an out-and-out villain. For example, Burn The World To Save The World as a commandment
explicitly says that collateral damage is acceptable when fighting the Darkness, but collateral damage is
not acceptable when you're not up against it. And you are also ignoring that the Queen does not replace you with a perfect clone who holds to all her beliefs, which is - gosh - another source of character development and a character arc.
Or tell me, is it simply alien to you that people might want to play a character who isn't just their powerset and who actually has wants and desires which are separate from what their powers "want" them to do which produces character drama? That people might be looking to play a character (as if this was based off some kind of
game, where you
play a
role) rather than a simple lever through which one might be able to change the setting?
Why is Storms so popular though? Princess is about magical girls literally powered by hope and idealism trying to make the world a better place. Storms are those who have given in to hatred over the desire to do good. It's the 'dark and edgy' option. That kind of defeats the point of playing Princess, I think.
The Nobility are not "Magical Girls in the World of Darkness" or "Magical Girls vs the World of Darkness". They are "The World of Darkness' Magical Girls". "Playing a flawed character" does not "defeat the point of playing Princess". Playing a flawed character is how you make the best heroes, because you need your flaws to rise above them.
They are, one and all, flawed people. Some are more flawed than others - and we know from Emma and her starting position that she's mentally broken. If we weren't playing Emma and were instead playing an OC, I wouldn't be pushing Storms - but we
are playing Emma. She's flawed, and trying to rise above her flaws in chargen is a rather dull way of doing things. Especially given the proclivities of a lot of questers to try to turn everything into "let's fix everything" rather than "tell an interesting story".
Well, I'm not opposed to Hearts either. A high Presence Grace of Hearts would probably be like 2008 Obama, I think. Could be interesting.
