Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Madoka Magica is a fairly self-contained story that follows a pretty well-defined plotline: it doesn't have filler or the possibility of alternate settings every season like PreCure. You can set a number of stories within the same setting but you can't change main elements of the setting like PreCure does every season.

IRL, Madoka's been making spinoffs as much as they can but the main plot (OG series plus Rebellion, is actually kind of tiny by necessity)

No no, I mean Madoka Magica Likes, and I mean more the bad ones
For instance, there is one I can't remember the name of, but is so clearly trying to chase Madoka's success, that has a girl with a heart shaped gun, think she shoots two bullies with it and makes them get ran over by a train?

I mean those ones, not more of Madoka Magica itself

My guess is that they think Project Prometheus is some way to either strengthen or broaden powers.

Anyway, something that occurred to me ages ago, but I kept forgetting to bring up: isn't Ellie showing her untrasformed state with only a domino mask a bad idea, since it risks Yellow Qilin and/or her minions identifying her as the "Dark Lady"? Because that wouldn't add up to her somehow being VS's successor who met her.

YQ likely knows that Ellie now has a suit of very good power armor and will prepare accordingly, but the cover story isn't in danger. All Ellie said was that she happened to be compatible with VS's shiny new armor, something no one would have known until she tried it out.

    Entry #51

    Today was a very big day! I snuck into Mom's throne room out of curiosity and got swept up in her big plan to make a showing at this monument. She had to scramble at the last minute to hide me and give me a flag.

    Still, I tried to keep my cool as things went on. Mom gave her speech, and this girl in gold armor talked to her until things went chaotic. She was kind of cool but also kind of mean.

    Uncle Warp, Herc, Miss Marie, and Mr. Rain had to fight a bunch of guys, while I stayed close to mom in case something went bad. There was this big silver guy who looked like he was made of clay who Uncle Herc grappled with, and the gold girl, that Palisade lady that Marie had fought before.

    And that Valiant Justice guy was there, too. He sounds so… angry. Like he thinks Mom is everything evil in the world at once. I don't like him.

    But I like the guy who grabbed me and tried to fly away even less. Valiant Justice is mad. But White Hawk…

    A book that Mr. Dollman got for me a bit back that I keep rereading stuck with me. Danny, The Champion of the World. It's apparently almost a hundred years old. There's a bit when it's talking about Danny's father, and how he never smiles with his mouth, but with his eyes, and how that's warmer.

    Hawk's smile never reaches his eyes. It's all mouth. It's scary. It's like he was grown in some lab and given instructions on feelings written by a robot. He was trying to be reassuring and polite but… it's hollow.

    But, the best part is, I got to meet BLACK SWAN! She's so cool and nice! She even saved me and gave me back to mom! I wish I had some paper so I could get her autograph…

    I saw that Scarlet Maturity guy too. He was so tall and scary, but… he vouched for me? Kind of?

    It was weird.

    When we got back to our spot, Mom told me to go visit Mr. Dollman's lab while she worked some things out.

    I think I heard Herc yelling at her as I left.

    At least Mr. Dollman was nice. He values my 'aesthetic contributions'.

    Had to look that up in a dictionary. It means I'm good with colors and art.

    I stayed in my corner, and read some more books. I don't want a repeat of the Rubiks-Cube-Bomb scenario, so I only touch things with Mr. Dollman's permission.

    (I still don't like that idea. A bomb disguised as a puzzle, that explodes when solved, that was going to be left in some remote park to cause chaos?)

    I'll probably get scolded a little later. But right now, I'm just glad to be alive.

    I love Mom. I know she loves me.

    -Princess

    • Dammit! didn't notice that I missed the rolling session yesterday.

    So now I'm just gonna roll for fun.

    Edit: Eh, okay-ish. Better then what we got, unfortunately.

    Oh god I don't want any more of those, we have enough of those in our reality and most of them suck.
    It would be cool if Princess Tutu got popular in the Project Prometheus reality, it's really good and doesn't get enough love.

    I will simply choose to believe that there were more attempts at copying Madoka that were able to branch out into their own thing like Symphogear did.

    Symphogear is very good, although most of the Madoka DNA has seeped out by the second season.
    I imagine this universe's Madoka-inspired shows are more along the line of Nowhere Stars than Magical Girl Site. Tragical and beautiful, not dumb and edgy (although the mahou shoujo equivalent of Blue Lock would be fun)
     
    Yeah thinkng of aliens.... I imagine that there still is 40k out there. Probably with Leviathan as one of many and more variation among human nations with alien nations too.

    . . . goddamnit guys hahahahahahah.

    Look, there's a very esoteric psychic Invincibility synergy and I'm going to find an excuse to have Wolong tell you about it. Bah, that's why I'm adding this stuff to the personal action rewards!

    Also, luck checks are weighted so you win with a 10 or higher. That's 55%! How you do fail so many?!

    Oh? Did we fail a Luck check once again? Damn, who could have possibly seen this coming?
    MagikarpLvl58 said:
    So what you're saying is that you once again decided to gate lore and worldbuilding behind a luck check after the many flubs? I see, I see. Surely at some point we'll actually pass one of those. Surely.

    It really is a most curious pattern

    ... It just occurred to me... It's probably too late to bring this up, and maybe even a bit awkward, but how far away was Seraph from the interview seats before VG revealed her? More than 100 yards away? Does it track that DS missed her?

    He didn't miss her, but given that there were other crew members moving around and he wasn't expecting a direct attack like that, he disregarded her.

    She wasn't visible while unarmored for long enough for anyone to get a good look at her.

    @Bitterman, what would have happened if we had picked to meet with Global Justice instead of Les Quatre Saisons?
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    We would have to play ball with the Americans and maybe had a chance to recruit stockpile. But Opale (formerly Hiver) would have been killed and JU blamed for her death. (-10 rep until we proved we didnt do it also I think we would have a hot war with powers)

    Personally maybe spin it as we were supposed to have a reunion, we didnt show. Figure out opale warned us and kill her. And because there were no witnesses theu could say whatever they liked and the populace wouldnt know so just accept what they say and bam Hot war.
