Powers Quest (Original/The Gamer) [Sort-of Hiatus]

Wait, she is a she! Where the heck was this hint at?
When I mentioned Lifebane I called her a he, and Zen said
Also amused at two implications that should be obvious to the players and seem to have been a) unnoticed and b) blatantly misunderstood, respectively. (Eito's player-obliviousness curse continues...)
It's simple deduction at that point really. I'm not quite sure what implications she meant though.

The part about the implications was actually more general than to you specifically - several people called her a guy - and as for the second, it'll probably be obvious soon enough, so: she uses magic. Pretty sure most people want Alex to learn magic. By their powers combined...!

Will we ever start working on that 'take over the city' plan, I wonder.
 
We're trying! It's just that we get distracted by other things fairly easily.
List of things my players get distracted by:
1) Breaking into showbiz
2) Trusting people they shouldn't
3) Not trusting people they should
4) Tinfoil
5) Making other characters think the MC is insane and/or stupid
6) Crashing spaceships into inhabited areas and valuable caches of limited, fragile objects
7) Houseplants
8) Absolutely anything that isn't the character's stated objective
9) Pretty skeleton eyes
10) Burgling houses for electrical wires
 
I have no idea who that is.
Oops, forgot you weren't there for that one. Eito from my Magical Advisor Quest (on hiatus) tried some home repairs. Long story short, various nearby houses had some important items go missing, and Eito nearly burnt her squat house down.

She also gained a pet cactus that's become/ing a magical familiar/monster/friend/thing, and crashed a spaceship into... well, see the list.

edit: Basically, it's a quest to gather a group of magical girls as their advisor, and help them beat off an extradimensional invasion. As of most recent, only three girls have been recruited (the players recruited a set of sisters by accident), one of whom has become an ineffective magical girl with barely any training, one has become a psychopathic supervillain for fun and profit, and one is slowly going insane from the stress of being the only sane person around. None of them have any reason to trust the deranged cat-girl MC, part of London has been blown up with thousands dead, the magical masquerade has been completely smashed, and the players somehow have the MC on her way to ruling an corrupt and insane empire. Presuming she doesn't get killed due to the fact she's done basically nothing to protect Earth except for beat up a group of space-pirates who were her best shot at allies, and team up with an organisation that considers her anywhere from useful-but-disposable to imminently-killable.

Do you think she can dance? I'm getting visions of Dance Macabres and/or flamenco with built in castanets...
