I still think the 'asked Nora for access to her lab as part of a payment' is going to be key. After all, Faust's deal involved giving them access to Nora and Ibis's combined notes on Project Prometheus.

maybe he thought Nora had some sort of answer for the origin of metahumanity, the Leviathan, or the Stage, or something?
 
We ALL want to make more heroes and see what wacky combos we can make, but like bitterman said we are tapped out of Goldnine. Also we kinda need to see what happens here before anything else....
 
Oh, Lucid, wanted to mention: Your plan doesn't give the big Apep we have access to and any Nevermores who aren't going to be on escape route duty anything to do, want to edit them into the Hiver/Maddie part of the plan?

They're part of the "Gang up on Blue Skies" portion of the plan. The big snake would be a great distraction for Lady Leizi and Handyman.

Glad I got that right.

Anyway for John I'm partial for This plan:

Surefire Utility

Memoria (4P)+ Chatroom (4P) + Mr Hunch (1P) - Reduction (-3P)= 6 Potency

Clairvoyance X3
-Memoria can takes pictures that always show what was happening in that Location Real Time
-Chatroom can instant communicate and send thoughts and feelings to others
-Mr Hunch watch everything that happend in 5 foot radios of an object in the last 24 hours.

Teleportation X1
-Travel anywhere he took a Picture of using his Clairvoyance ability and bring along anyone or anything he touches.

Ally Empowerment
-Link with people with a hundred yard allowing them to share thoughts and feelings.

Okay Johan has 6 operation and 4 Espionage so those stats are best to raise for him. Also he has 1 hit and its noted in his profile that his age means he is what he is not sure what that means exactly but likely it has something about gaining new stats to training.

Granted a Power Purely for Combat could work if we want a Jack of all trades but this situation I feel shows that we need something vital.

A way to get people out quickly and safely when their health is down. Unfortunately we only have Memoria for an affordable teleportation so wed have to gamble a bit, but thankfully our new DNA's means we can hedge our bet in giving John a power fitting his stats and helpful no matter what.

A Clairvoyance X3 means its lock in no matter what so while how it forms will depend on QM wed mostly get something akin to chatroom + MR hunch since theyre powers are focused on that while Memoria Clairvoyance was just a way to create markers for teleportation. So a Powerful clairvoyance to boost operations and espionage.

After that it would depend on whether we get Teleportation or Ally empowerment but if we can get both. I feel like this power can not only let People share thoughts and feelings, but either switch positions or immediately teleport others to those linked to the telephatic network.

Another way for this Power to work if we get Clairvoyance, Teleportation & Ally empowerment. Is that John can take Pictures of People and anyone he has a picture of can be link telepathically to anyone he has picture with and in range, those pictures can then be used to teleport himself and those in contact with him.
 
You know actually Hiver's power is a lot more versatile than I thought it would be from first description because I though that he had to make a shield completely around something to manipulate the gravity of all objects in the sphere (or cube or whatever), but no, he can create flat planes that reflect/float/bounce things. And given gravity, he could probably cover a wall with a barrier set to attract and then walk straight up it.

I really like the power creation system so I'm back with another potential build for Potency 5 Rhys. :V

Taking your lead, here's another Potency 5 builds for Rhys John:

Tag Team

Potency 4 (iSpy) + Potency 4 (Memoria) - Potency 3 = Potency 5
Tags: Teleportation, 2x Clairvoyance, Invisibility

This is a straightforward support build, and it doesn't rely on tags or synergies. Rather, we know that Memoria's main power was teleportation. And iSpy's main power is to tag people and observe them. Combining them gives us as superhero who can tag multiple other people, observe them in a fight or otherwise, and then teleport himself and others to and from anyone he's tagged. Fantastic for transport, coordination, espionage, ambush, and as the name implies, Tag Teaming heroes around in a fight.

lol :lol:

Srsly, though. No other supers are named like that. It feels to me like a name Faust would've come up with. I suspect it was a deliberate choice on your part.

Yeh that works too were likely to lose Invisibilty but thats worth for teleportation. Gonna need to hide how he teleport though probably by making people focuse in teleports to hide the fact, he can spy on people.

That said adding mr hunch there might let john use items his touch as marker for his teleports too. So thats somthig if we boost John to 6 tolerance.

Rhys is Handyman, guys, we're building for John Henry.

All my builds are for John just with boosting him to 6 next turn.

Edit: Mind it really does look like Memoria+Ispy+Mr Hunch works really well together for Clairvoyance. Since all them relies on marking something and seeing things.

For Memoria its Pictures that shows present.
I spy is People he shares senses with.
Mr. Hunch Items to see the past with.

So the 3 works for a Teleporter. I spys Invisibility is a bit weird anyway since its a power that doesnt really seem to connect with Clairvoyance. So its more like Ispy had 2 Different Powers just with an espionage theme.

Chatrooms power on the other hand relies too much in the synergy between clairvoyance and ally empowerment to connect the feelings and thoughts of people in her range. So unless its for synergy pairing Chatroom up with any power that doesnt boost ally empowerments chance is risky.

Another Potency 5 build for John Henry, this time less out of practical consideration and more for thematic connection with the Demon Flamez and his own quest for vengeance.

Burning Revenant
  • Potency 5 (Deadman) + Potency 1 (Hydrocity) + Potency 1 (Soldier X) + Potency 1 (Multiplex) - Potency 3 = Potency 5
    • 2x Elemental Manipulation (Deadman, Hydrocity)
      • Upon "death", Deadman's blood turns into lava and self-immolates his body. Additionally, he can manipulate magma and create it ex-nihilo underground.
      • Hydrocity constantly generates fresh water inside of himself, but he can't control it which leads to great discomfort.
    • 2x Regeneration (Deadman, Soldier X)
      • Upon "death" and the self-immolation of his body, Deadman's body will reform.
      • Soldier X's body maintains itself at peak physical condition without need for upkeep. She has no healing factor.
    • 1x Fitness (Soldier X)
      • Soldier X is at the peak in all realms of human capabilities.
    • 1x Transformation (Multiplex)
      • Multiplex can transform his body into another object so long as it doesn't exceed his body mass.
With this, we're looking at someone who is literally made out of fire/lava, can produce more of it as they need, and manipulate the shape and size of their body made out of liquid fire accordingly. Also, lava whips and engulfing people in a pillar of flame from where they're standing.

They can keep coming back from the dead too, which means we never have to worry about them dying, and it makes for a metal as hell image when his ghost literally builds itself back together from a flaming skeleton.

Very fitting for someone who has the Demon Flamez as his archnemesis.

This isn't like, super broken or anything, but it looks really cool and I love my "Personal Philosophy = Your Superpower" tropes. :p
 
Hmm Looking at that we can actually make a Budget Mona using Deadman

Deadman+Crimson Soprano+Steadfast

=Should give us a Powerful FFM with Invulnerability along with either Regen or Flight.
 
Looking at our team:

-Leizi's mostly useful for her mind, she's a competent physical brawler with a shocking twist (ba-dum-tish).
-Mona is our Flying Brick type, the core we're building around.
-Maddie is there to cause chaos, make sure we're not outnumbered, and have a bunch of expendable mooks that we can sacrifice if we need to. She's also providing some transportation.
-Rhys is also spy-focused with his disguise ability, but he's also a solid brawler and flexible enough that he can hang with mobility types. I assume he could walk through a chain-link fence by letting his clay pass through it, or extend his arms long enough to swing from a building like Spiderman or ascend it.
-Hiver also helps with mobility with bouncing, has defensive/protection utility, can yeet people away if need to.

We're actually pretty well rounded all things considered. We've got two super spies, we've got mobile people, we've got brawlers, we've got expendable mooks...
 
Hmm if we Speedrun getting a Supplier for goldnine via the Puella Questline the earliest we can get another ambrosia is Turn 6 since we need to complete the follow up quest for getting a supplier.

That said I remember something pretty interesting If we want a Dedicated Melee Hero

Name: Lightstep, Lloyd Morgan
Power: Enhanced Speed, Invulnerability, Enhanced Senses, Enhanced Strength

Lightstep has basically all Physical enhancement abilities apart from Self Enhancement, Fitness & Regen since his keyword while focused on Speed, include Durabiltiy, Senses and strenght but they dont synergies.

Wed need to ask wulong but I think this guy just needs Self-Enhancemet, Regen & Fitness to create a synergy thats about enhanceing the base physical abilities of your body.

Which is why we need a Tolerance 8 for it but

Lightstep (7P) + Sewer Rat(3P) + Soldier X(1P) - Reduction (3P)= 8 Potency

Would be an amazing Combo for a melee focused hero. Worth a gamble for a synergy.

You can assume you'll get at rest one dose of goldmine for completing either goldnine-quest chains aa well the option to purchase more. So it's more like issue 4.

My Journal - chickenbouillon (canon, dark)
  • Apocrypha
    • Omake: My Journal by chickenbouillon

    Trigger Warning for Bullying, Murder, and Child Neglect, Gore.


    Entry 1:
    This is my journal.

    I'm sorry, it feels so weird to say. Nothing in my life has ever been truly mine. Everything I have has always been ripped away, because I am weak. Mom is just a drunk. I hate her. I wish I was never born.

    But I can at least write here. I can do that much.

    Hello Diary!

    Entry 2:
    Darcy Myers is a princess. And she hates me.

    She's always made my life miserable from day one, and as usual I'm too weak to do anything.
    I feel like a coward, all bark and no bite. But sometimes I really do envy her.. she's so beautiful. She's above me.

    Sometimes I just want to

    Hm

    No. I can't write that.

    ..I think I need help. I just need to sleep and everything will be okay. Goodnight Journal.

    Entry 3:
    Darcy poured milk on me today, I'm grateful that she didn't do anything else.

    The book I borrowed from the library though.. it's all wet now. I have to pay.

    God I hate her so much.

    I'll write again later. See you diary.

    Entry 4:
    The weirdest thing happened today.

    When I saw Darcy today, I felt like something was.. different? I can't describe it. I really can't.
    It felt like something inside me was.. hungry at the sight of her. Starving. I really wanted to be like her in a sense.

    It doesn't really matter though. Because she's as bitchy as usual. If I ate her would I be a bitch too?

    Entry 5:
    This feeling won't go away.

    It acts up whenever I see other girls. Girls luckier than me. Girls prettier than me. Girls who were born with everything.

    I want to peel their skin away and eat up their innards and be them.

    That way I think I can finally be loved. I can be loved.
    What am I saying? I think I'm just tired..

    Goodnight Diary.

    Entry 6:
    Diary, have you ever wondered what it means to be brave?

    I've thought about being brave more than once. I thought about setting my school on fire with a can of gasoline. Or buying a gun and shooting Darcy Myers in her little face until all that's left is a red smear.

    Being brave means that.. you're scared to do something. But you'll do it anyway.

    I think that's something to think about.


    Entry 7:
    Dear Diary

    Darcy was at school today, and she talked about how her dad got to hire one of the heroes at Powers as a bodyguard or something. I don't know which one. I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff. God knows heroes won't come for me anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

    But God, she really does have it all does she? Maybe heroes are evil. Maybe they're the real monsters if they went for someone like her.

    Mom's back. I have to open the door now before she gets angry.

    See you diary.

    Entry 8:
    This feeling won't abate.

    This feeling won't abate.

    I can feel myself changing too. My hands are longer now. I feel stronger. A lot stronger. But most of all I want to grab Darcy Myers by her little fingers, snap them off one by one, and swallow her bones whole.

    A ladyfinger parfait.

    ..I think I can be brave? Right?

    Goodnight, Diary.

    Entry 9:

    IDIDITIDIDITIDIDIT I DID IT

    she went to school at night like i asked her

    she was so confident too. that dumbass. so stupid.
    i went and i changed. she tried running but i was way too fast. darcy, how does it feel to be weak now?

    i ate her. i ate her. she was so sweet. her bones were really brittle in my maw. but i ate her. i ate eveeeery last bit of her. i couldn't fit her whole so i just chopped her up bit by bit. dug my fingers under her skin and ripped until she stopped screaming.

    and now i am her.

    i am like her in appearance, my skin is a lot smoother now. a lot clearer. i'm darcy myers in skin and bone.

    i think i'll give her life a try.

    wish me luck, dear diary.

    Entry 10:

    Dear Diary!

    I was a bit too happy last time, but I'm glad now. I ate Darcy up and there was nothing left of her. But that's okay, because I'm her now.

    Life as her.. has been really great actually!

    But there are more. More people like Darcy. People who don't deserve their life. People who are weak. They've earned nothing, but they live happily ever after.

    All they have is because of luck.

    I'll be them too.

    Eventually. I'll be happy.

    I think this is my last entry. And then I'll throw you away. My diary is from when I was weak. I don't need you anymore.

    Goodbye, Dear Diary.

    A/N: More edgy ocs! Yippee!!

    So we know how to get atleast 2 more ambrosia. Suplier or R-Train giving us more would probably depend on Money and rolls.

    Like if the suplier is basically a smuggler were gonna need to pay them for getting us Goldnine which should be pricy but definately worth it.

    Edit: BTW QM do we need an ambrosia for someone to wield E-B or is it really just a Tolerance 10 Candidate and the option of someone being its wielder pops up?
