I'm personally rooting for Ranger with Water Spirt Type-II.
Is there any chance of her getting Jingwei's Wings? Because seriously, those are awesome. Of course, then there's the White and Red color Scheme, which is probably more heroic than most of the ones I know of.
Also, it's too bad that Shamash is probably not gonna show up any time soon. Shamash vs Endbringer? Any bets on that outcome?

Eventually? Yes. Or at least a facsimile, depending on how it goes. Kiara will need some time to come up with a viable design though.

Something that came to mind most recently as I worked on the Armsmaster interlude, which will provide a lot more perspective on what effect the appearance of the Honkai have on both Shards and Parahumans.~
By Nature of starting multiple Months before canon starts, we can safely say that the stations of canon ain´t gonna happen. We are currently in January, and canon starts in late April.
As such, I want to open a bit of an avenue for people to contribute, in exchange for modifiers and the usual shtick. Now, to be clear. There are no expectations here. I am not EA.
I welcome most any kind of contribution, and if you have unique ideas that won´t fit in the following musters below, I am always happy to see a red number over the messages.... Which might be a sign that I should get more social interaction in retrospect.
Again, to clarify.
This is not intended nor meant as anything approaching expectation. While it would be a lie to say that I would not care, because frankly, I love any sign of engagement with my works, it is not needed as an Author fuel or any of the sort! This is just to establish that I welcome those, appreciate them and that they will be rewarded…. And that I don´t mind helping with them.
Armsmaster interlude is half done, so will probably go up morrow or Friday.
HOW TO USE
Shit, I forgot how these are going to be used. Essentially,
You notify in the preceding post that you are willing to invest [Insert Token Here], which will then be used during the next turn if needed. That means that it will be only used for fixing fails or go from partial to full success. Should this not be needed, you will keep the token. You can also notify that you want it to be used to boost, meaning that it will be used to the greatest benefit

Omake
Generally, all Omake receive a +2 token. There are no guidelines nor limitations, and if there are questions, I am generally available. I love to talk or chat😉(...That sounded like some trashy dating app), canonicity to the story is possible.
Maps
By Nature of me liking to use maps and TTRPG as visual aids, I am always eager to have more maps for variety, as such, every fifth map total will garner a +1 for the players. (Like, seriously, modern day maps are a pain in the ass to get.)
Characters
Perhaps the biggest thing, I tend to fear writing the same characters. There is a not insignificant amount of parahuman in the bay that aren´t well explored at all, and as such, want offer the following avenue. If you have an idea for a character, write to me, and if I can see it working well we shall discuss more~
Art
Given that in my experience, it takes longer to even just recolour something than to write, not even talking about OG Art, this results in a +3 Token.

As she passed through the portal a few hundred thousand feet above the ground, Lisa froze. She was undoubtedly on Earth-Bet but something was wrong with it. A few seconds later it hit her. There was almost no Honkai energy present. Compared to the overwhelming amount that can be sensed on Earth-H or her own version of Earth-Bet, this world seemed almost pure.
'Alrighty then. Dial back the juice it is.'
Making sure that her own energy signature dropped to a neigh imperceptible levels, Lisa focused on the most important part - finding the local version of herself and her friend. After all, that was the reason she came here.
Closing her eyes, the girl focused on her power and allowed herself to feel the surroundings. Immediately, hundreds of thousands of voices reached her ears. It would probably drive any normal person insane, but Lisa wasn't sure that she even qualified as a human after everything that happened.
Each voice and human had its own, unique vibration that propagated through the air. Under usual circumstances, finding a particular vibration and its owner would be somewhat difficult but Lisa knew her own voice rather well, as well as she knew the voice of her friend. That, however, is where the problem started.
Locating herself wasn't difficult. She was, however, surprised to find out that her local self was in the same building Outsiders operated out of. And judging by what she could hear, local Lisa Wilbourn was an active member of the group!
'What. The. Fuck.'
While she wasn't necessarily a good person, the idea of working alongside Trainwreck, Chariot and Circus for any prolonged period of time made her skin crawl. Deciding to deal with that particular set of circumstances later, she focused on another voice. Her friend's voice. Imagine her surprise when the outcome of a fairly intense listening for a few minutes turned up nothing.
Furrowing her eyebrows, Lisa opened her eyes and looked down towards the city. Sure, there was a chance that the local birdbrain took off somewhere or hid in her own pocket dimension, the lack of Honkai energy in the air made it a "not probable" version. Even portals left a long, lingering trace if you knew where to look. Realising her mistake, Lisa immediately switched her gears and focused on sensing Honkai energy itself. Surely, if there was some small amount present, her friend would be the source. Local Lisa definitely didn't have anything on her at the very least.
After a few seconds of searching, her attempts were rewarded. Locking on to the admittedly strange feeling energy, Lisa smiled.
"Got you! Ready or not buddy, here I come!"
Allowing herself to go into the free fall, the girl made sure to mess with the air density on top of changing the direction of the air currents to make the light bend around her, effectively making her invisible. It was a neat trick that she came up with not too long ago. While not the most effective ability, it sure got the drop on a few mutants.
As she got closer and closer to her target, doubt started filling Lisa's mind. Whatever was wrong with her companion, she definitely didn't feel like herself. Even as she limited herself, there was always this… oppressive and regal aura around the girl. It was one of the reasons why Lisa offered her friend to use "Queen" as a cape name.
—
The entire trip took less than 5 minutes overall. Swiftly landing a few feet behind the girl, Lisa felt her mouth open against her will. Despite having the proper, although muddled, signature of her friend, whoever was standing in front of her was not her.
"You're not Sirin, aren't you?"
Walking around her, Lisa could feel the girl tense. But she could also feel some sort of confusion or hesitance. She definitely knew her friend's name and there was certainly something else going on. Was she the same as Lisa? Implanted with the Gem? There was a good chance of that but that would mean that Sirin is…
'Nope, not thinking about it. Focus on what's in front of you. Focus on not freaking the already panicking girl out.'
"Right, so… My name's Lisa, also known as Zephyr! it's nice to meet you! What's your name?"

Have an idea for a few more "chapters" so there'll probably be a continuation sometimes later.

"Report and explain what is going on." The sentence was neither screamed as a command nor formed as question. It was simple, it was efficient, and it was one of the features of the Director Colin could approve of.
Nodding slightly, he began his presentation, now once more fully aware. Painkillers were useful, but not conductive to an effective report, despite how high his resistance was. Panacea was a blessing to the city, and, so thought Colin somewhat bitterly, had some of his co-workers half her work ethos and dedication, they would be in a significantly better position.
"Around 0812, we registered a short but intense burst of exotic energy," He gestured to statistics that showed the data that the observation equipment had gathered, it showed a short, but extreme peak."Shortly after, our equipment was fried." Which was a major annoyance and something he will need to pull several all nighters on to fix.
He then continued, the next one being a major point on the lists of many worries today had brought. "Shortly after this burst, all attending members of the Protectorate and Wards reported that they felt increasingly agitated and to cite Vista, who was present due to a dual free period, "It is the feeling as if some great monster saw you, and found you worthy of it´s attention. It feels unsettling, but you can not help but feel excited." This effect presumably was city wide, as shortly after, multiple conflicts between the parahumans of the city broke out, likely because several of them lack the restraint the Protectorate and Wards have. This resulted in the emergence of several unknown capes, not yet designated. They were given numerical designation till the reports could be analysed as to give them proper names. Gallant compared it to being similar to Glory Girl´s Aura." Glad to have a chance to stop speaking, he gestured to the projector.
He clicked the report forward, showing the recorded matchups sorted by time, along with the result.
0830: Uber & Leet in conflict with Lady Phonton & Laserdream, with later support by Dauntless, Villains escaped.
1023: Stain in conflict with Unknown 1, Stain fled
1245: Lung in conflict with Kaiser, Fenja, Menja and Unknown 2 & 3 with Armsmaster, Miss Militia, Assault, Battery came for support, fight was inconclusive and Lung left after Kaiser, Fenja and Menja.
1400: Unknown 4 in conflict with Shadow Stalker, with an interruption by Glory Girl, inconclusive. All three retreated.
1612: Hookwolf, Krieg,Victor and Cricket in conflict with Skidmark, Squealer and Mush, with Armsmaster, Miss Militia, Dauntless, Assault, Battery, Velocity, Triumph interrupting. The fight quickly ended, but no villains were captured.
"After this last battle, it was elected that those of us injured would move to Brockton General, as requesting Panacea to move during this period seemed unneeded and we were closer to it than base. While we had hopes that it would be the last altercation of the day, we didn´t want to risk it. As we were waiting, I was informed that someone eligible for a Crisis point Visit was awake, and under the influence of painkillers used in combat, I made the decision to pre-empt needing someone else to come in later."
Piggot looked at him sharply for that, before noting simply, "Explain why."
He could do blunt. "Because frankly, Director, not even one in a thousand of these visits are actually Parahuman relevant, and even then, we have to follow a tight script provided by PR as to avoid stepping on the toes of local law enforcement. It is seen generally as a chore and depressing. Me, having been the most presentable and having access to the script thanks to my helmet, made it at least one task that could be taken out of the equation with no loss elsewhere." He paused "I also want to lodge a complaint that the script is utterly garbage."
Piggot narrowed her eyes, and he could swear that her lips twitched, but then nodded. "Understandable. What came out of the visit?"
Here Armsmaster narrowed his eyes, his expression taking on a distinctly more unhappy frown. "Beyond a need to investigate why Winslow, the girl´s school, permitted such to happen, if only to see if there is a danger to Shadow Stalker? Total Write Off."
It was odd to hear such a phrase from Armsmaster, but the message was clear. This was off record till they decided otherwise.
Pausing as the record stopped, Colin then explained. "I have reasons to suspect that she indeed is a Parahuman that recently triggered, and even most likely was the cause of the exotic energy.
While her behaviour was not atypical for someone in her situation, mistrust for someone who is in a position of authority being very understandable, she seemed at first intrigued, but with prolonged interactions, likely tainted by the script, she seemed to back away.
However, beyond the behaviour, there were trace amounts of the energy in the room, making it a likely assumption. I have no concrete proof."
Piggot nodded, briefly considering the situation. Both Dragon, who was present due to it being in part her equipment that was fried as well having helped with the coordination, and Hannah looked concerned. He just knew that Assault would have made a joke, had he been there. He knew about the roboter jokes, naturally. Just because he had issues applying certain ideas to social interactions didn´t mean that he didn´t understand them.
"Is this why you wanted this off the record ?" She asked.
Colin nodded. "If she is a Parahuman, and if her power allowed her to nearly start a city wide brawl of the gangs, she would quickly become a high priority target for any gang that has connections to the PRT.
That is ignoring that right now, if she follows typical patterns for her situation, she is extremely fragile, and us trying to pressure her could easily end in an S Class Threat, depending how much her powers can affect Parahumans. We can not risk it. As such I would propose that I will continue, with aid from Miss Militia, an investigate during downtimes."
Piggot closed her eyes, before once more nodding. "Acceptable. However, as we are facing what is most likely a Master of considerable strength, I would like to set up a backup of your investigation with Dragon. If things turn south, we can at least give them something to work with. Is that acceptable?"
This was another factor Colin could approve of. The Director was aware that even within the PRT itself, having someone with such powers would draw the attention of all the wrong people. Better to get a grip on the situation before somebody else decides to intervene in all the worst ways.
The avatar nodded, before responding with her own input. "If she is indeed a Parahuman, it might be worth looking into her situation. As Armsmaster laid out before, Taylor Hebert has every reason to distrust other people, and especially organizations like the PRT or Protectorate."
Piggot gave a quick shake of her head. "Unless you manage to find proof that Parahumans were involved, that is the BBPD´s case. As it is, we seem to have reached a satisfying plan of action. I will note the Crisis Point as having no positive result."
She gave her two subordinates a look, before speaking clearly once more, just as the clock hit midnight.
"Dismissed, get a rest. We need to be out in force tomorrow and the next days. We need to snuff the fire out before it lights the fuse."
AN/
As always, this feels odd, but c est la vie. I am open to critic on this, and will probably hammer around on it once I come back to it ( Means tomorrow probably, once the number of hours awake is in the single digits, not nearly halfways to three digits.)

It is! Mostly because Taylor is entirely atypical for it. The Target audience are younger people who are traumatized, which on the surface, Taylor is. However, Taylor, through Kiana and Sirin, behaves fairly atyptical for someone in her situation.
Add to that both PR limitations, Youth Guard, Police being defensive of their jurisdiction and the fact that most of it will not be used because in most cases it becomes apparent that. No, they aren't Parahumans.... well, basically, the script is good for one path. How to let someone down after they thought they may get powers.
That, and they kinda expected that people would switch their brain on. PR conditioning biting them in their asses

And Coil now knows there's a huber parahuman in the city. At least, since the conversation was off the record, he shouldn't know Taylor is the para. I wonder if what the other gangs will try as well, and what sort of investigation of the record Armsmaster will do in downtime.
"Hi Dad. Who is your friend?"
The vaguely familiar bearded man turned to me: "Hello, miss Hebert. I'm your neighbour. And I must say, your father is a most pleasant person to talk with."
Dad nodded. "Right. Can you believe it? The mayor doesn't want the ferry, but he allowed that stupid oktoberfestival in Downtown(?) which had more swastikas and skulls than beer, and there was a lot of beer. Good beer though."
"Yes, it's inefficient. Public transport would help the poorest people of the city, instead some of the administration budget and of several philantropist groups-
{Oh no they're talking politics with beers.}
{And why is that a problem?}
{They always end up going in other bars, and brawls. Even if they all agree.}
{I'm starting to respect your father.}
Dad lifted his glass. "Hey, I know a place nearby. Better for relaxing, and I wouldn't want to annoy my daughter with our old people talk."
{Oh no}
The man grimaced. "I have some work to do..."
{Now that it was getting interesting!}
Dad shrugged. "We always have work to do, but people with responsabilities like us need to take a break."
There was a brief moment where both of them stared awkwardly at me, until eventually the stranger sighed. "Well, I can take some time."
{I ship them}
{WHAT}
{No, you can't. You just can't. He's my dad.}
{Didn't you tell us how your parents meet? Something about heated discussions, alcohol, and kissing?}
{That's totally different! And-}
"Bye Taylor! Guard the fort!"
I know nothing of the honkai characters.
"Hi Dad. Who is your friend?"
The vaguely familiar bearded man turned to me: "Hello, miss Hebert. I'm your neighbour. And I must say, your father is a most pleasant person to talk with."
Dad nodded. "Right. Can you believe it? The mayor doesn't want the ferry, but he allowed that stupid oktoberfestival in Downtown(?) which had more swastikas and skulls than beer, and there was a lot of beer. Good beer though."
"Yes, it's inefficient. Public transport would help the poorest people of the city, instead some of the administration budget and of several philantropist groups-
{Oh no they're talking politics with beers.}
{And why is that a problem?}
{They always end up going in other bars, and brawls. Even if they all agree.}
{I'm starting to respect your father.}
Dad lifted his glass. "Hey, I know a place nearby. Better for relaxing, and I wouldn't want to annoy my daughter with our old people talk."

That was an interesting interlude! Armsmaster is on the case, huh? Well, at least they simply became more aggressive instead of being zombified.
Thanks for the chapter, it was a pleasure read!

First Night Out

Taylor looked into the glowing green eyes, which had an eerie effect, given that her room itself was only illuminated by the twilight of dusk, night soon arriving. She closed her eyes, and felt her core. It was pulsating, almost like an actual heart. The meagre amount she had before had grown thanks to careful cultivation of the core, gathering energy for the moment that had now arrived.
During her time in the hospital, she had worked on her proficiency, having achieved what Sirin has called an acceptable if pitiful level. She took it as a compliment.
Releasing the energy, she followed the pattern Kiana had engrained in her, her eyes snapping open, as she felt the result of her work. Gone was the PJ, replaced by the outfit Sirin had suggested, flakes of light vanishing one by one being the only evidence of the process of it´s creation.
However, what caught her eyes were the floating pair of pistols in front of her.
They were huge. She had expected them to be huge, but it was different to see it. Yet, the moment she grasped them by their grip, she felt a sense of familiarity with them.
She could not help herself as she posed a bit.
{Ready to go out? Best way to get the muscle memory in your body is doing it~}
{...Yeah, I want to go. I am tired of hiding and cowering, staying inside.}
With that thought, she blinked outside, taking off into the city.
As Taylor let Kiana guide her on how to move through a city quickly, she marvelled at the sheer mobility of the body she now possessed. Sure, she was not exactly out of shape before, but jumping across rooftops, landing pin point landings… it felt surreal but also awesome.
Still, this movement allowed her to talk to her friends.
{So…. Any ideas what we should call us? We need sort of a hero name or something.}
{Hmmm, I mean, it would be rather enticing to use something German to flip off the idiots in that Empire…}
{We would run danger being associated with them, but if we acted publicly against them, it should be fine. Although as convenient as calling ourself something like Herrscher would be, it might carry the wrong implications.}
{How about each of us offers three, and then we chose?}
{If I have to.}
{Sounds good!}
[]*Sigh* Although I hate the name, Schicksal would fit, Void Queen is perfectly valid as well and ... Abyss Flower.}
[]Envoy sounds neat, does it not ? Or we could go with either of your names.}
[] I wouldn´t mind if you used Kaslana, or perhaps Valkyrie, or Comet ?}
As they made their decision, Taylor managed to hear the sound of something heavy crashing into something out of metal. Wincing slightly, she blinked on top of the nearby house, trying to find source of the sound.
She felt, for a moment, bad for hoping it was a crime in progress. Then the giddiness of anticipation won over.
Luckily, she quite easily managed to find the source… because it was nearly directly in front of her on the street.
She managed to identify all three of the combatants in her sight relatively easily.
Under her stood Vista, the local spacewarper. Since she had discovered her own spacial abilities, she had looked into her. While she was the youngest Ward in service of ENE, she was also one of the more experienced ones. Not the most experienced one, but still respectable.
{I am interested in her. She could be good future servant material if we play our cards right.}
Taylor tried to not gap at herself as she considered the implication of poaching a Ward.
Besides her stood her comrade in arms, Kid Win, the tinker of the Wards. There wasn´t much on him, beyond that he had shown signs of being easily distracted.
Their opponent however, was also not unfamiliar. Rune of the Empire 88, with two large cement plates floating by her side.
Okay! She had her villain! Now what should she do?
{Shoot her.}
{Would not that make us seem like a dangerous lunatic ?}
{I am fairly, truly certain we fulfil the requirements for that designation. But if you want, shot her in the leg.}
{No! Taylor needs to learn to move. Besides, you can actually enjoy yourself! Sweep her off her legs, make quips, have some fun!}
{I am not sure…}

Envoy does sound neat, and accurate if you know the source of our power. I don't consider Rune threatening enough to be worth the loss of practice in exchange for immediate takedown.

The moment when you realize that you are an idiot and made the wrong weapons. I will fix it shortly, won´t affect things overly much. Then I sleep because I clearly fucking need it.

Guns have been fixed. I was tempted to add a Zelda sound effect, but eh.
The usual applies, If there are questions etc, do not wait to ask, because I will be off in about 30 min, so better to get it out now than never.
