There's like... three pairs of sisters. Granted, two of them weren't sisters in the OG story they came from, but that's still a lot of sibling drama. Funny thing to think about.
 
Probably gonna break the word count record again. Shooting for this weekend.

It's also been upgraded to a full Fill-In Issue. Fill-In Issue #3: Kintsugi.

For some context on that name:
Article:
Poetically translated to "golden joinery," kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery. Rather than rejoin ceramic pieces with a camouflaged adhesive, the kintsugi technique employs a special urushi lacquer, made from tree sap, dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Once completed, beautiful seams of gold glint in the conspicuous cracks of ceramic wares, giving a one-of-a-kind appearance to each "repaired" piece.

This unique method celebrates each artifact's unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. In fact, kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original.
 
Well now... I wonder what that entails... is it the armor or is it Ellie that's getting repaired... is she getting therapy!? Wait no, this a hero world, they dont get therapist, at least not constantly.
 
Speaking of Fill-in Issue, currently I'm either for Interlocutor or Apiary. Interlocutor's for obvious reasons, but for Apiary, a lot of that is cause I wanna know how Defiance Unit ended. That to me is important cause pretty soon we're getting a tolerance 10 candidate and I feel like I wanna know how Zeno died with how broken his powers are.
 
Stats: HIT 4, ESPIONAGE 1, REPUTATION 7, OPERATIONS 1

Working on my candidate dose this make sense for a semi-Famous person
 
I'm still broadly in favor of Towarri's fill-in because that would give Mona direct info on our enemies, and probably make up for missing that OPs check she made when she saw Lantern the first time.
 
two minor questions regarding Arc's power:

Does something have to be directly aimed at her, specifically, to be reflected? Like, with the insult guy from the charity gala that was mentioned: because she is a part of New Dawn, would an insult of New Dawn still be reflected, because she's a part of it?

And do all reflections return to sender automatically with no input from Arc herself, or can they be diverted or controlled where they go? Say, if she was blasted with something but didn't want it to hit the attacker directly because she wants them apprehended nonlethally.

Pitchouli’s Candidates pt. 2
  • Apocrypha
    • I'm starting to feel a little left behind with my whole one submitted character. Two, if you're generous enough to count Kimi as a mystery box. Hope you don't mind me adding a couple more of my TTRPG girls to the roster.

    Candidate "Chariot"
    Name:     Aki Amachi
    Age: 20
    Stats:
    HIT 3 (Kendo and Stuntwork)
    ESPIONAGE 1 (Has Never Heard of Opsec)
    REPUTATION 5 (Shooting Sentai Stardom!)
    OPERATIONS 3 (Can Handle Any Fan Meeting)
    Tolerance: 6 (12 Stats for 6 Tolerance matches Rhys' statline.)
    Chaucer's Notes: Aki is the actress behind the character of Yellow Comet in the live-action sentai series known as Shooting Star Saviors. I've been informed by Maddie that said series is "really mid". Notably, Aki is the only member of the main cast who performs her own stuntwork and fighting scenes, owing to her extensive background of Kendo during her school years. This talent is likely the reason why she's among the more popular members of her show despite only being the childhood friend to the real protagonist.
    Our initial experience with Aki was from her company reaching out to us to begin filming for their show within the Apiary. During discussions, Aki was quite happy to compliment us for continuing to fight regardless of hard times, and would independently message us saying she'd be willing to collaborate on future projects.
    Lady Leizi: Her becoming an actress was a very sudden change in path, I've been told. She was shaping up to become a full-fledged Kendo player, had her sister Aya not abandoned home due to conflict stemming from a failed school entrance exam. Joining Shooting Star Saviors was her attempt to reconnect with her one day.

    Pitchouli's Notes: One of my first characters in the same TTRPG system, the entire plot of Aki becoming an actress because she wanted to find her missing sister was sort of a spur-of-the-moment plot decision I never really built up before just dropping it. While that campaign ultimately petered out, the resulting plotline from that one backstory reveal was still a very fun time, if I do say so myself. Also, Aki's sentai character was the Lightning-elemental wielder specializing in spears, if this was pertinent information for you to know. The legal team insists there is no connection between her and Leizi.

    Candidate "Temperance"
    Name:     Keri Rachel
    Age: 26
    Stats:
    HIT 1 (Mere Child Wrangler)
    ESPIONAGE 3 (Vigiliant Against Stolen Answerkeys)
    REPUTATION 3 (A Respected Teacher...'s Assistant)
    OPERATIONS 7 (Master of Endless Obligations, with a Chemistry Degree)
    Tolerance: 4 (14 Stats for 4 Tolerance)
    Chaucer's Notes: A local chemistry graduate, Keri has become a teaching assistant at a local high school and has evidently taken to her job very well. Talks with her coworkers has more than proven that she will gladly lend her aid to anybody at the drop of a hat, giving her a distinct aura of friendliness among a select few who actually interact with her.
    Keri has recently started attempting to outreach to more children in her off-time, leading her to try tutoring some of them... one of which was none other than Madeline du Marseille. There has perhaps thankfully been no further communication between the two so far.
    Lady Leizi: Taking on every request that you receive is already stretching her thin, so to set her up to become a hero would likely end up with her schedule hitting a breaking point somewhere. Heroes don't get much time to themselves to begin with...

    Pitchouli's Notes: A female candidate without a Japanese name? Blasphemy, I know. If her Candidate name didn't give it away, Keri is a very archetypical Temperance as someone who ends up taking a lot of obligations to their own detriment, hence a rather min-maxed Operations character. Unfortunately, the game she was a part of was simply not very long-lived, so she lacks the same sort of detailing my others do. I can note that her Persona was a representation of the steps of alchemy, but that's sort of it.
     
  • Apocrypha
    • Something for Homer, Yara or other T10 Candidate. A Plan for Supreme Frontline Tank Hero.

    [] Plan Wulong Theory
    -[] Golem 5P
    -[] Frostbite 3P
    -[] Steadfast 2P
    -[] Daggermaw 1P
    -[] Hydrocity 1P
    -[] Millions Minefield 1P
    -[] Potency Reduction 3P
    -[] Total: 10P

    Keywords:
    Elemental Manipulation 3X
    Invulnerability 3X
    Enhanced Strenght 3X
    Energy Manipulation
    Enhanced Senses X1
    Transformation X1

    "Precisely," Wolong says, "The greater potency of her power effectively gave her half of Blue Skies powerset—moving water vapor. For that reason, it may be just as effective to have a high-potency combination of metahumans with the same kind of powers as it is to have a diverse amalgam."

    To Plan to goes along with Wulongs Theory that Stacking Similar Powers and Higher Potency is very effective. Since we want a Bruiser both for Frontlines and to help John Recharge his barriers I looked at our DNA and found we can make a Powerful yet still Versatile Frontline Hero.

    This Plan Gives us Invulnerability, Enhanced Strenght, Elemental Manipulation Stacked together to make them as strong as possible. Lastly Millions Energy Manipulation since Energy Absorption is pretty useful and works with Elemental Manipulation.

    Considering High Potency Powers can bleedover over to other powers I think Strenght should give us some speed and Elemental Manipulation should give some versality and long range attacks. Lastly with X3 Invulnerability its likely that this Hero utterly a Pain to even scratch. Like how Swan was basically tanking SM's attacks once she got reduced to 1HP.

    At the very least Wulong this plan Test Wulongs theory of Multiple Stacking Keywords instead of synergy being Viable for a Powerful hero.

    Edit: Honestly This Plan Is basically creating our own Scarlet Maturity Super Strong, Practically Unkillable and Then a few Tricks, Like his Revive mechanics.

    With Kermie's latest, purely out of curiosity: I understand having a few quick notes for every frontrunner during an active poll, but do you have quick drafts for any theoryposting we do between Ambrosia creation sessions? Or do you try to save that for when we're actively doing our votes?

    I have a docs for my Favorite Plans and Plan I made.

    Edit: Also for a P13 Tank I think my New Plan is best, Just Stack Invulnerability as High as reasonable, Strenght for CQC and Element for additional Powers and tricks. Transformation, Enhanced Senses and Energy Manipulation adds some flavor if we get them While still being useful due to sheer Potency of the combo.

    Edit2: Crimson Soprano(2) Flight + Novalight FLight(8)= Flight 10. Alone let Mona Fly at Lightspeed even if she needed a charge time to do.

    Edit: Im confident Invulnerability of Steadfast(2)+Golem(5)+Frostbite(3)= P10 Invulnerability should make even giving 1HP damage require someone at SM at minimum. Since this should Invulnerability even more POwerful than monas and she could tank SM's punches at her core.

    Daedelus725’s Candidate
  • Apocrypha
    • Sorry for stealing the style and I don't know how certain things get named so I'm taking a little bit of a wing at it if there's any issues I'd be happy to fix em

    Candidate "itztli Calavera "
    Name:     Victor Valentino Del Rivera
    Age: 34
    Stats:
    HIT 4 (body training and Stunt-work)
    ESPIONAGE 2 (Has a good deal of minor secret to keeping just not to a super level)
    REPUTATION 7 (Star of the three roped stage and of screen)
    OPERATIONS 2 ( Can be led around a Fan Meeting)
    Tolerance: 3 (I think this right plus we can boost to like 5 right)
    Chaucer's Notes: Mr.Valentino Del Rivera comes from a long line of Mexican Pro-wrestles who also often preformed as relatively, well know movie stars in the Spanish language Sphere. A Tradition Victor continued playing a number of heroes ,villains monsters in various productions. Maddie wanted me to added he is the main suit actor for "Xolotl vs the world" that she enjoys & that I have concerns about the age-appropriateness of her watching them. He first came to our attention in the wake of the Movement. He came to our fair city hoping to help fund relief efforts for the numerous issues the sprang up in its wake, in particular he was very concerned about families of those heroes killed in stopping the leviathan from truly waking. After some light questioning as to why, he revealed he is a Twin brother of Minor hero Golden Skull. And while he is no world famous mega-star he brings with him a good amount worldwide good will
    Lady Leizi: Grief is a strong motivation, but Knowing the very little of Golden Skull that I do that makes sense. He was always one of the heroes who embraced the theatrics of the job, and have a background in an actor family would fit. While he may not have too much real fight experience he has kept fit and strong almost being able to be mistaken for a man 10 years his junior


    Daedalus's Notes: what can I say I love Luchadors , few things look ass cool as a Luchadors in suits, the idea behind his stats are to have a pretty strong Rep hero , my imagining of his fame is like the nick cage & the rock where a single guy but mostly only did movies in Spanish, also had the idea because I have watched santo movies earlier this year and those are basically early superhero films with a wrestling match in parts of it.

    Succeeded in Managing to control my armor smoothly move remotely. I can make it Walk, Run Punch, Kick and Jump easily now. That Said I still need to have clear line of sight and firm Image on how I want the armor to move. Meaning the farther away it is from me the harder and rougher the armors movements become.

    Next Log will to be to see if I can move multiple armors.

    Log 91
    I decided to spend the day making Combat Armors instead. For me to Practice Remote control on and also too see how Tiring remaking my Armors again and again while making sure the Armor doesn't crumble while I'm not wearing it..

    Answer is pretty Tiring that said as expected it's a good way for me to get better at making the armor, not to mention it lets me see just how better I get with practice and how worse my Combat Armors become when I'm too tired to make them properly. Last armor for the Day was basically so shoddy that It toppled over and broke with a simple push. Gonna need to rest for a few after this, a good way to see how long my mass produced armors last atleast.

    Log 91
    Nope, Controlling More than 1 armor is too difficult my head feels like its splitting and started feeling dizzy quick which just lead to the armors breaking due me messing up their movements. At the very least the way I control my armor right now is simply Imagining how it moves when I wear it, which makes controlling more than 1 too difficult.

    I guess I could change how I control my armor, but at the end of the day I feel like mastering how to wield 1 armor that I'm wearing Is far better than simply being adequate at controlling multiple armors.

    I think its more fun for me atleast. Especially after All the armors I made last time broke easily from trying to control multiple of them at once. And Honestly It felt more like I was just switching between which Armor I controlled when I try to control more than one instead of controllling multiple 1 at the same time.

    I might try to practice it Multiple control from time to time. But I feel like its better for me to improve how I make my armor, how fast I make them, Modifying my armor while wearing it, and just focus on 1 remote controlled armor.

    Armors Managed to last the Whole weekend with only the ones I made last and when tired showing real sign of damage atleast.

    Log 92
    Spent the day rebuilding my Armor Stock, Still tiring but hopefully it's a good training in making better armor.

    93.
    Spent the day Training Remote Control. Managed to stress Test how Good my armors are when I remote control them.

    Seems like while I can be more reckless when using Remote Control since theres no risk for me to get hurt, my Armor arent as tough or strong as when I'm wearing them. Especially the farther they are from me.

    Just theory about apart from still not being used to Remote Control, I think its because the distance create a "Lag" of my when my Power is travelling the distance from my myself to the armor.

    Anyways with this I'm satisfied with Remote Control. I'll still train it from time to time but I I'm gonna focus back on Actually tricks I can use when actually wearing the armor.
    ////////////////
    A.N. More logs this time Samson trying to see how viable being a minion master is to him, Then going nope and deciding to focus on just improving on 1 armor, which is gonna lead to him seeing if he can control giant armor.
