Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

So, changing the topic.

It was mentioned that Taylor has advanced enough to support twin Guardian Beasts. That sounds awesome, but I really don't want to get rid of Samantha.
Unless we can develop a way to incorporate Samantha as one of the twins?

Thoughts?

You would need to take away Samantha's sapience and regrant it to her. Considering how random the character generator is for the good stuff, if you go by the character generation choices of last time, odds of her personality's maturity level and abilities being the same are slim.

At worst, we'd have a weaker version of her that was custom built to be as much like the original incarnation as possible and a clone that may or may not have a different class.

This is assuming that the way we get twin familiars isn't because you actually come across animal siblings after something happens to the previous one.

You do not need animal siblings, just two animals of the same species. You can't integrate Samantha as a twin because she's a single "birth". You'd have to downgrade her to make her a twin, and memories don't survive the animalization process, so you'd be killing what makes her Samantha.

This sort of crap is what makes sadistic GMs tick. Seriously, you knew full well we wouldn't go for the shiny when Racoon!Mom is on the line.
 
Actually, I was offering it for if something happened to Samantha and you had to find a replacement GB. You nearly lost her already this arc, after all.
... Lung and Butcher was a closer thing that she let on, wasn't it?
EDIT:
...:o. It almost happened while we were dealing with Kaiser's group, didn't it?
Considering Butcher has broken through to HQ, I think we can guess what happened.
That, or the rattenkrieg for Lung went about as badly as people expected.

For some reason I was pretty sure it's Valefor somehow was Butchered, took headquarters already and called heroes into his brainwashing trap.
But teleporting wound-and-pain-causing danger-sensing dragon is surely worse.

...I don't have any idea how he can be stopped.

Wha-*goes back to update*
"Get back here now! The new Butcher just attacked headquarters!"

OK, so I'm seeing one of two scenarios.
One, Butcher got killed by one of the heroes defending the perimeter, and immediately went on the rampage because of Valefor's previous commands.
Two, Samantha killed Butcher, the shard randomly went to another cape, and they immediately went on the rampage because of Valefor's previous commands.
I'm leaning on Numero Uno. ABB and the Teeth/Fallen were noted to be separate groups, while Samantha was only supposed to be helping with the former.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to write down that this quest's Plans B, C, and D are now "Hit them harder".
You know we're incapable of socializing unless we get one person with a stroke of genius, leadership is non-existent, and our previous class' entire point was 'nuke it from orbit'. Of course people're gonna pick the combat option.
 
Two can be thought of in positive terms, the other two negative. Of course the ones chosen are the chuuniest of the lot.
The measure of a hero
[ ] Destroy the villains – The gangs are the reason Brockton Bay is such a hellhole. If they were wiped out, maybe the city could return to its heyday, or at least be livable without worrying that you would be gunned down in the streets.
[ ] Protect the helpless – How many people get injured every day in Brockton Bay because of the gangs? Someone needs to be their guardian. Might as well be you.
[ ] Rebuild the injured – The heroes might fight the villains off, but you've seen the damage those fights can cause. Buildings demolished and people hurt or even killed. You could make them better, stronger, faster. If only you had the technology…
[ ] Back up the heroes – It's a bad sign when literal Nazis outnumber the Protectorate. If you make each hero worth two or three or ten villains, though, maybe the tables can be turned.
Calamity Witch
Extinction Knight
Trancendent Gadgeteer
Infinite Enhancement

Though, comparing these. I'm wondering how the name Extinction Knight correlates to Protect the helpless.

Another thought. Enhancement should probably Enhancer if you are following the verb noun pattern of the other three.

Probably something along the lines of "Knight that guards against extinction" or something like that.

If SB/SV grew up in Japan, we'd probably be called Chuuni.:V

When the enemy is killed to a one before they can harm the innocent.

Considering this is Perfect Storm ripping off the Belkan knights, probably both of our ideas.
 
This just means that if we want to deal with our problems with anything other than nuclear fire, Taylor has to actually make some friends.

Both of these to an extent, but more the latter. The Warring Era Galeans really, truly hated the Belkans, though not without reason, and yes, it got to the point that both sides held planet-level genocide as a suggestion worthy of serious consideration.
 
If at first you don't succeed, apply more Friendship.
APPLYING FRIENDSHIP FORCE!

The Belkans were basically genociding themselves and everyone they could find by that point. If you have nukes, it doesn't make sense to hold them back once you know the enemy has launched theirs.
 
What if Extinction Knight was actually a typo, and it was intended as Extinction Night.

By day a protector, by night an unatural disaster. Saving the helpless, and sending them into the eternal night.

Wait, that got a bit darker than I intended.
...
Accidental pun is accidental.
 
sigh.... Seriously? we're going down everything a nail route? that makes me sad.

I rather went down Infinite enhancement or transcendent gadgeteer.
