Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Reader mode
Another part of this discussion is that, at present, both goldnine and candidates are at premium, so it is more "efficient" to save our precious doses for high-Potential candidates. However, once we have established a consistent goldnine supply line, then we may reach a point where it is more efficient to expand our roster quickly than sit around waiting for the next "golden child" to show up.

Dont forget Hero Slots.

We only have Dr. Ibis as sure base for more slots.

The other bases we know of are The Mill and Bastion. We dont know how to get access to Bastion while The Mill needs as to take down monarch.

Edit: I think sponsors might be a way to get bases or atleast get given info about a base in their influence.
 
Every candidate combo we make is inherently, an experiment, finding new synergies and combos. We need to embrace that more. To quote the Frizz: It's time to take chances, make mistakes, get messy!
 
Did I miss the vote and I need to be sure the quick gorilla mission is available to take after this turn right

I had a question: what aspects of the setting would job like to see explored more in back issues? I have a few ideas, but I want to know what people want to see.

Aftereffts of Leviathan Blooming in those 20 locations in the world?
economic effects?

Edit:

Is Moon River Fish?

I think Star is in charge of Horae guard.

Crown over Moon is Faust..... Who is this replacement?

Noelle is Mahou Shoujo.

Uiara's sis is HEro Worship

Also another bit world building I would like to see is what wars started as a result of the blooming.

Looks like we're committed to Aggressive Stance. Let's hope nothing goes wrong with our attempts with recruiting our hater in the Mahou Shoujo mission. :V

I'm holding onto the hope that we can get Chimera again one of these days. I tried rebuilding it with our expanded library and couldn't really come up with something better.

After EXCEED-BEYOND at least, though, the super psychic may take priority over that.

Tbh while Chimera is definitely an interesting build, I do want to see if we could potentially get some idea on synergies and general builds that could fit around Red Huntress. This is especially true if Self Enhancement is part of one as Red Huntress is one of the units who could build into one of the theorized builds there back when we were discussing the likely requirements for Lightstep.

Broadly I do think Millions is always pretty good for Red Huntress due to potentially feeding her energy for her energy claws and maybe could have conceptual ideas with her marking system as an newer addition to our library as well. Multiplex may also have a neat synergy with Adamant specifically if we don't care about stacking transformation tags over power synergy for specifically the Chimera build.

Chimera: Red Huntress/Adamant/Soldier X for 7 potency as the core with 3 points of {Sewer Rat/Crimson Soprano/Steadfast/Millions/Daggermaw/Multiplex} if grabbing Auto Biokinesis and depending on synergy capacity. Sewer Rat kinda ties into the below Self enhancement build fishing but is otherwise too expensive. Multiplex is probably for the funny world of pairing with Steadfast or going full Multiplex/Millions/Daggermaw and seeing if Red Huntress could go full Crawler with the scaling and transformation. Millions fits with pretty much any of the combos here, whereas Daggermaw seems more like attempts for extra tag expressions to at least some extent which isn't bad either.

Red Huntress/Adamant/Soldier X (3 left): (2x all) Transformation, Fitness, Regeneration, (1x all) Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Senses, Enhanced Speed, Invisibility, Energy Manipulation, Clairvoyance (Autobiokinesis)

Self Enhance Huntress: Can't grab Autobiokinesis but basically swap Adamant for Sewer Rat and Daggermaw for Soldier X 100% as the core to try and farm as many of {Enhanced Senses/Enhanced Strength/Self-Enhancement/Enhanced Speeed/Fitness} as possible. Gives Red Huntress/Sewer Rat/Daggermaw +3 points of {Adamant/Soldier X/Crimson Soprano/Steadfast/Millions/Mr. Hunch}, where I probably go Millions + Crimson or Steadfast to round it out?

Red Huntress/Sewer Rat/Daggermaw (3 left): (3x all) Transformation, Enhanced Senses, (1x all) Energy Manipulation, Enhanced Strength, Self-Enhancement, Fitness, Enhanced Speed, Invisibility, Clairvoyance

Otherwise I'd be eyeing up Memoria Huntress builds if trying but those feel somewhat more linear in building things out? Red Huntress/Memoria with probably Millions/Mr. Hunch/Daggermaw filling it out. Basically try to build into the teleportation assassin angle compared to the tanking scale or the self enhancement raw melee scale.

Red Huntress/Memoria/Millions/Mr. Hunch/Daggermaw (0 left): 3x Clairvoyance, (2x all), Transformation, Energy Manipulation, Enhanced Senses, (1x all) Teleportation, Enhanced Strength, Fitness, Enhanced Speed, Invisibility

tl;dr barring the freebie option Wolong gave us of Enhanced Strength/Clairvoyance and the psychic attempts, I really want to see what a Self Enhancement base synergy could do.

You know, looking back at the Fill-In Issue, I'm really glad that we decided to be straightforward and honest with Wolong. We auto-passed that check to keep his loyalty, which is going to make things sooo much easier!

Alright, no bonuses then!

Order is gonna be:

1) Break Glass
2) Mahou Shojo/Spider's Web
3) Cenotaph/Meet the Rookies
4) Hero Worship
5) Yankees/eTraction!
6) Lost Lenore/You Live Like This?!
7) Project Prometheus

Maddie's Power Testing will take place off screen because she's already had Chimera and there's nothing interesting for me to do with that GA.
 
So about the Wolong help with Prometheus, how do we determine that? By which I mean, how and when do we determine what power interactions might lead to interesting stuff? Can we just write something like "Continue working on the combination Wolong was considering in PREVAIL"?
 
Before the Lost Lenore/You Live Like This?! update goes up, I'll ask people to write what they want Wolong to figure out. I'll then translate those responses into questions he can actually answer. You'll get a vote at the end of Lost Lenore/You Live Like This?! to decided what's asked. You chose from a number of options I'll provide.
 
My points bank is opened because I EFFING KNEW IT
