[X] Plunder Patroll

Let's see, it's got potential write in utility, it can inflict weaknesses on-demand, including Dark to synergize with Akemi (and is likely to be useful for situations like this one where we have temporary allies, as well as other potential Thieves Guild forms)... We can probably make spells that modify our damage type, in which case it also has the best Awakening gen so far and the cheapest cost to Awaken, allowing us to spam the heck out of it, it can heal and it also has an endure effect built-in.

Needless to say, it's a lot better than a form we can't actually afford to use!

We've yet to access our Auxila form, which needs only half as much Awakening to attain (75 vs 150). Admittedly, unlike Alice, it does not specify the Awakening for it needs to be something specific, but that's still 10 debuffs that need to be applied by our allies to reach Zealantis with our best means of gathering Awakening. Water damage does lower the needed Awakening, but as of now we have no means of dealing Water damage, and the only ally who can deal Water damage is not someone we can always count on and may sometimes flub their attacks, which means that any flubbed attacks may not help in lowering the Awakening needed for Zealantis.

As it is, it's going to be a significant investment to make Zealantis a feasable form to use, so it's not as useful as it looks, even though it's strong. Comparatively, Plunder Patroll is the last piece we need to truly make good use of Thieves Guild (swapping from Six Samurai to Plunder Patroll makes the Patroll's initial form better for 1 turn with the temporary +10 to all stats, while switching from Plunder Patroll to Six Samurai allows the Samurai to get an additional insurance in case dodging does not work by giving them Water + one of either Fire, Earth, Light or Dark resistance), meshes well with our capabilities to inflict and hit weaknesses by giving us an even stronger tool for gathering Awakening, offers good utility and is easier to use in both of its forms (2 ticks of its Awakening passive in base form is enough to trigger the form change, which also makes it less flimsy and confers the same immunity to negative effects against Giants as Zealantis does).

All-in-all, I think Plunder Patroll is a better form than Zealantis, but if we really want to make use of it we're going to need a form with good Awakening generation and reliable means of dealing Water damage in order to be able to use Zealantis effectively.

So I don't into the hard numbers as much, but mechanically speaking, you're likely right that it's the superior option.

But consider: giant ocean kaiju super mode. What advantage do hard numbers have over the sheer sense of superiority you get from having a sea leviathan living in your soul?

Which is to say, I'm voting primarily for narrative reasons.

Something I just realized: hitting a weakness was supposed to deal x1.5 damage, not x2 damage. A Crit hits for x2. Doesn't matter much since Rei did a crap ton of damage against the fire Shade, but it will be rectified in your next combats! Just telling you all as a reminder.

That's fair. Which is why I shall bring up the hilariousness of having pirate trolls in our head, this is gonna be so funny :D

Also we're gonna be pirates~ We'll have ships! We better punch/beat stuff that has [Giant] Trait since we don't have negative effects from those anymore with Plunder patrol

I'd like to toss something else into the discussion

The Kaiju may resonate with another person but... the Pirate one? I don't think we'll encounter anyone else who can wake those ones up again.

Kermie did say other people can wake up spirits we already had a chance to get, so we should take into account that some choices may show themselves again while other ones are a one time deal.
 
If we do team up with Mako again for the Water missions he is going to be so hyped when we bust out a pirate armada, dolars to donuts that Tako goes even more trigger happy with a actual pirate crew.

Rei: Main the sails!
Baten down the hatches!
Load the cannons and ram those guys!

Akemi:
Get me close! I want to hit them with my sword!

Himari:
Um... Yarr? (Idk Im a hacker closest thing to piracy i have done is videogame related!)

Mako and Tako: *Stars in eyes* Everything I have done in my short carrer... has led me to this moment.
 
Rei leveled up to Level 5! (Current EXP: 90/750) Level up plan coming next update.
Hey, want me to validate Kermie's decision to balance the Omake board/limit our levels? Also known as: I had free time, and was bored. Omake inbound, sorry to everyone.

    LunarCrystalY: …. Well, that was an interesting disclaimer…I think the devs had a little to much fun designing this game. Ok, let's look at the menu while I wait for Piggie to join. Jeez, how did they manage to convince me to buy this game? I don't even interact that much with the KR or MaGi fandoms that much.

    LunarCrystalY- Ok, standard menu… Huh? Two different modes? *Selects Story Mode*

    -Story Mode-​

    This mode is for the classic RPG experience, choose between several pre-determined characters and follow their exploits to the end. Unlike Online Mode: The Characters in this mode have some pre-determined stats, backgrounds, and skills. In Addition, unlike custom characters, Story characters will start with a set of Perks and Flaws, pertaining to their history. The main story may change depending on who you choose and what actions you take during your journey, so be careful. But don't worry! Unless you mess up spectacularly you may obtain the other characters as party members, keep those eyes peeled. Please choose your starting character.

    Rei Maruki:

    Miss Maruki, originally known as Agent Roze from the infamous Guild of Assassins, she managed to escape from her original employers alongside her best friend Kaneko Akemi, and has been lying low ever since. Taking a job in Animate for several years, the somewhat rusty assassin's slow life is viciously interrupted when some unknown masked assailants attacked her during work, and ended up attempting to sacrifice her in some unknown ritual. Somehow Rei released an even stranger power, and managed to save herself. Now this new hero needs to content with secret conspiracies, superhuman enemies and her own social life in order to live another day. Fight on Rei! Fight against the darkness!

    Being a Brash and Calculating individual due to her upbringing, Rei is a Dark Kamen Rider whose powers are alive and willing to help her reach a brighter future. Her main factor is the ability to access an entire armory of different specialized armor's for every occasion. These armors will be unlocked as you complete the main story, complete side quest, or interact with your bonds, Try to Collect them All! This Character starts with the Perks: [Break Down], [Sentient Powers] and the Flaw [Those who cannot change], granting a boost to exp, granting hints during gameplay, and increasing the difficulty of making successful bonds with heroic factions in game.

    Kaneko Akemi: (Unlocked after reaching the end of the prologue and defeating Labrynth Archfiend)

    A Pleasant yet scheming individual, Kaneko Akemi is the childhood friend of Rei Maruki and her fellow Ex-Assassin. Unlike her Dark Kamen Rider Friend, Kaneko is a Dark Magical Girl that contracted with an unknown creature in the past and gain magical powers as a result. Alongside her flying cat companion Purrson, this future hero hopes of a more tranquil and safe future, and will fight to reach that dream. Kaneko Akemi specializes in close quarters combat using a special katana, her playstyle involves parrying an opponents attack and countering for massive damage. Choose this character if you prefer a more "tank" focused style of gameplay. This Character Starts with the Perks: [The Schemer] and [Void-Bound] and the flaw [Tech Klutz], granting some hidden abilities during her campaign and making her a destructive black hole for anything remotely technological, making tech related challenges much harder.

    Himari Kuromi: (Unlocked by defeating her during Rei's story mode and deciding to spare her)

    An insightful, but Awkward Dark Magical Girl and Ex(?) Assassin that nearly killed Rei during the main story. After her defeat some good food, a planetarium and videogames made her want to join Rei and Co. She is trying her best, but the Guild doesn't take kindly to deserters. Can she and her new friends survive the trials that lie ahead? Perks: [Tech Genuis]-Grants bonus to tech checks. Flaw [Cursed Eyes]- Disadvantages to Social interactions, you receive less bond points with strangers. Himari Kuromi's playstyle involves the use of mid-range attacks and a generous use of debuffs in order to cripple their opponents. Make sure to fight alongside strong allies to make sure you don't fall during battle!

    -More Characters to be added in future updates; Including Kamen Rider Voyager, Magical Girl [], Jun Akimitsu and more-

    LunarCrystalY: Oh wow, a completely unique story mode with multiple characters? Reminds me of Sonic Adventure DX a bit, or maybe Octopath Traveler? I wonder if beating all the characters stories unlocks a final chapter…wait. I thought this game was about Kamen Riders and Magical Girls, why are all the characters Dark Aligned? Now I'm Curious…

    *Piggie has joined the game*​

    Piggie: Sorry I'm late, Classes took a bit longer than expected!

    LCY: No prop. Was looking at the story mode.

    Piggie: Oh? So, have you finished making your character yet?

    LCY: …woops.

    Piggie: Bruh. Well at least I can help you during customization. I'll just talk your ear of as you create one.

    "As you probably seen, this game has two different modes of play, Story, and Online mode. During online play you use a personal character that you yourself have created. This is highly customizable, Age, Gender, Race, Hair Color, Muscle definition, everything. But the very important stuff is gameplay related. You see Custom Characters are FAR freer to customize as you please unlike Story Characters, the drawback is that you don't start with any perks that can give you an edge during the beginning, but hey no flaws either, so that a plus. After the first few missions you get to choose your initial alignment. Kamen Rider, Magical Girl, Kaijin Rider, or Dark Magical Girl, each one comes with their own benefits and drawbacks. Don't worry, just because you choose an alignment here it doesn't mean you will only be able to interact with those of the same alignment. It may take a while, but if you follow the path of light even a Dark KR or Magi can fight alongside their more heroic counterparts and the opposite is true, if your Light aligned and act like an ass, you might find yourself on the wrong side of a rider kick or magical cannon. This game is very advanced, even making quest's on the spot like bounty missions for those that harm the city. There's plenty of secret systems and even classes to find. An acquaintance of ours TheHonestWorldRunner took one look at the magic system, laughed like a maniac, and pretty much disappeared from the face of the earth. I'm sort of worried they will create some kind of magical eldritch horror that will create a quest or a Raid Boss that needs to be killed."

    LunarCrystalY: And insert the name Crysbel... and done! Ready to play.

    Piggie: Oh, finished already? Ok let me create a new character so we can *Notices LCY made a Dark Magical Girl* o_o you made a Dark MaGi? That's… surprising. I thought you preferred playing more heroic characters.

    LunarCrystalY: Yeeeaaah... but I notice your playing a Dark Kamen Rider and I Immediately went to create a Dark Magical Girl to balance it out. It's a habit of mine, every time my cousin and I played games I would always pick a different version for them just to make sure we could unlock everything. Plus, I remembered you mentioning that you wanted to create a Guild with all classes and have them be Heroes, so I made that step a little easier. Plus, I'm a DPS at heart, Higher attack stats are my priority most of the time in games. I can play support as well, but I usually like seeing big numbers.

    Piggie: …well that's cute. As long as your sure. Ok then, if you are ready. 3, 2, 1!

    Both: Start!


    Authors note: Hey, I made a Thing! And I'm validating Kermie's patch notes! (Also, that exp bar jumped huh?) So yeah, here is my take on a Perhaps for Love or Maybe Justice MMO RPG ala FF 14 (Disclaimer: I have never touched an MMO). In game you would be able to get stats points to unlock perks, flaws and develop a unique story for your character depending on your actions. Some classes include Light Gunner, Void Knight, Void Swordmaster, Void Hacker, Glyph Mage and more. I made a couple of jokes here and there and may have mentioned some non-canon personas of some people, hope you don't mind! Other names for people would be Dusty X, TeraSave, lavitaamara, and TaurusKiss . Cant think of a parody name for Fabricati and Wayward_Animal, my bad. (If you find out who's who you get a virtual cookie).

    I don't have time to make a second omake just yet, but I already have enough info to make a part two to that Yugioh card omake, so I'll wait till the Character sheet and Personae Dramatis (Need to add Mako) gets updated to start, who knows, maybe well get something new before I finish.

    Sick as heck! +50 EXP, 10 EP.

    And once I'm done with this new HSR story quest, I'll update with Mako's character thing.

    Edit: I can't believe that Solar pulled me into a Shangri-La Frontier AU with him :V

    I'm honoured you would consider putting my name in there even if you couldn't come up with a parody name for moi. Really like the vibe you've got going here though.

    Ok, I love this alter-name for me. If you continue this and decide to put me in as a cameo, please use the Celestial Siblings from my omake as my characters in the MMO. Creating multiple characters to experience different story routes and flesh out the lore is EXTREMELY in-character for me.

    Also, before I go to dinner: shoutout to @DragonOfAtlantis, who has the most kickass name I've heard in a while and who's also currently almost done reading through the entire thread. That's no easy feat! I'd love to have you be the first roller once the vote closes.

    If I post enough omakes in other quests, I can hook in anybody, like an evil wizard casting spells! Next goal is to get an ex/current council member here.

    It will happen eventually. I have plans for this quest to go on for years!!! Muahahahhaha!
