[X] Don't get big.

Every bit helps >:3

Besides, we want to provide moral support right now. Shock her(lol) later when she is no longer covered in gook and is maybe aware she has powers of her own.

No. She is a Master only. It's a Threat Rating. Not a Mechanics Rating. And even under a mechanics rating she wouldn't be a Trump. She got the ability to rapidly grow biomechs around dogs along with having "How To Dog" downloaded into her brain.

This gives her a Master Rating. Master is when you have or can create minions. If that's through building them, summoning them from nothing or pointing at a dude and saying "You obey me now" doesn't matter.

Trump on the other hand is when you can affect other cape's powers. Hatchetface of the S9 with his powerblocking aura is a Trump for example.

Though yes Power Givers such as Othala of the Empire who can give out temporary powers of healing. superspeed, invulnerability and pyromancy is also a Trump but she affects other humans. Rachel only affects dogs and she has to train them first or they're just a random dog that's suddenly in a biomech.

Also I'm pretty sure that her abusive adoptive family didn't get eaten. If they got mauled to death or just severely injured I can't remember. The mother however tried to drown Rachels puppy in front of her causing her to trigger and reflexively empower the puppy. A puppy that was scared out of it's mind and not trained. The results were fairly predictable when it was suddenly in a van sized biomech in front of the one that just tried to kill it...

My point is that she doesn't create or control, like Masters are supposed to. She enhances. She's a power-giver, like a Trump.

Yes, she only gives powers to dogs, but that doesn't change the fact that she's enhancing not controlling or creating.

Taylor is just as much a Master for controlling bugs as Regent is for controlling humans. If anything, those should have totally different threat responses, but they have the same classification. When it comes to threats, power-givers that create brutes cause the same problems no matter what the original species was, so Bitch deserves the same rating as those that give powers to other humans much more than Taylor and Regent deserve the same power classification. That's why I say she deserves a Trump rating more than a Master rating.

EDIT: The very fact that she has to train her dogs should disqualify her from Master rating by itself.

No, she gets a master rating because she's fought like masters are fought; a squishy human with minions. She is not a trump because she does not have powers that interact in some way with powers. Regent has a blaster rating, not a master rating, because they don't know he's got bodyjacking powers. Taylor is a master because she is also a squishy human with minions.

As the dude above me says it's a threat rating not a mechanics rating. She's a squishy human with minions. Thus she is a master.

If you build a killbot then you're a Master because you have a minion. That killbot got a gun? Then the bot will have a Blaster rating.

Master isn't "Can control you." Master is "Got Minions."

If you're a superstrong dude but you never go into close combat but use that strength to shoot Fuck Hueg arrows made of steel you get a Blaster sub rating Brute because the system is designed to let you know what to expect going into combat against them.

If your buddy shouts "Trump! Power Giver!" In the middle of combat then everyone will be on guard against someone that can give out powers. Which is entirely the wrong response against Bitch. If he shouts "Master! Dogs!" Then everyone will instantly be on guard against parahuman controlled and/or enhanced dogs.

Regent does have a Master rating. They explicitly call him the highest rated Master in the Undersiders and they were well aware of his bodyjacking power, which is why he had such a high rating in the first place.

Also, if what you both are claiming is true, then why aren't all power givers considered Masters instead of Trumps?

EDIT: In fact, I would say:

"Master! Dogs!" Means prepare to fight powerless dogs, which is the wrong response against Bitch.

"Trump! Powergiver!" Means prepare to face an army of things with powers, which is the right response against Bitch.

It amuses me to have us just seemingly be a puppy that can do shit like this and have nobody actually witness how.

Most Power Granting Trumps are also Masters, I.E. Teacher, it's just that there's other manifestations of Trumps, like Eidolon, or Bakuda, who is a Tinker, subcategory Trump. Technically Bitch should be a Master, subcategory Trump

Because Master is for when they take orders from the cape due to the power. Teacher is a Master due to each power granting he does instills a sense of lasting loyalty to him eventually creating fanatics that will follow his every word. Othala for example doesn't have a Master rating because her powers doesn't come with an OBEY ME command. She has to rely on regular loyalty.

Bitch got "How To Dog" allowing her to train and instill unbreaking loyalty in her dogs. This wasn't actually known by the PRT. They thought that her powers also granted loyalty from any dog she used it on.

If a Tinker outfits a bunch of normals with energy shields and ray guns, he doesn't get a Master rating as long as he doesn't create some kind of mind control device. The normals will get a Brute and Blaster rating though.

Can we stop the Bitch argument? It's not really relevant and it looks it's going to start going around in circles.
 
So is it time to call the vote then.

Not yet Raptor. Let me just...

[X] Don't get big.

There we go. Like Jyggalag I think it would be hilarious if no one knew about our powers and just assumed we were a regular puppy instead of Case 53 we are.

    • Yes! You saved her! You saved her by getting big! It was super cool! You get big so you can show her how.

    "Whaa!" Winslow shouts in surprise and flops onto the ground again when you get big. Now that you think of it, when you get big, you get big quick! It's almost like you're exploding outward. It's so cool!

    Winslow looks up at you with eyes wide open. "Holy shit. That's a big dog…"

    Yes! You are big! But you're not a dog, you're a puppy! You must remind Winslow of that! Quick, puppy kisses!

    "Eep!" Winslow sees you moving in for the kisses and tries to scramble away but it's too late! Nobody can escape when a puppy wants to lick their face! Similar to the last time, Winslow tells you to stop but you ignore her. No mercy!

    At least, no mercy until you accidentally lick a place that isn't her face and get the bad-taste evil goop on your tongue again. As soon as that happens, you freeze, flop over and start whining. It tastes so bad! You start licking the ground to get it off your tongue.

    "What are you…" Winslow shakes her head, smiling slightly. "You're just a big, dumb puppy, aren't you?"

    Hey! You're not dumb! You're smart! You rescued Winslow, didn't you? And you can read and you know that ABB isn't a real word and you know not to lick gross stuff…

    Oh…

    Maybe you are kind of dumb…

    Winslow sighs. "Come here, you big lump. Let's see if we can get your tongue clean."

    You whine some more but you get up and do as Winslow says. You stick out your tongue and she wipes it off with one of the few bits of her shirt that doesn't have goop on it already. You immediately taste the difference and move to give Winslow thank you kisses.

    "Whoa! Hey boy, hold up." Winslow holds up her hands and blocks your approach. "Remember what happened last time?"

    Yeah! Last time you gave her kisses and it was fun and you made her happy and then you got bad-taste goop on your tongue and… oh. Right. Oopsy.

    Feeling depressed, you lie down and look up at Winslow. Not really sure what to do without the option of licking your friend's face, you start to whine quietly.

    "What, no. Nooooo, not the puppy-dog-eyes…" Winslow looks away but you keep looking at her mournfully.

    Eventually she looks back. "Stop that. You can't lick me. You'll get sick."

    You keep whining.

    "You can't. Seriously." Winslow sighs again. "Look, how about I scratch your ears instead?"

    You immediately perk up and bark once happily. Yes! Ear scratchies! That's almost as good as belly rubs! You pad over to her and sit beside down, panting at her expectantly. Winslow reaches out to start the pettings but stops when she sees her hand, still covered in evil goop.

    "Oh. Right, I need a shower." Winslow blinks several times and to your confusion, tears start to fall from her eyes. "I-I need a… a show and I n-need to call dad a-and the police or an ambulance and oh god. Oh dear god."

    No! Winslow, don't cry! She's safe and out of the goop box and she has a puppy! She should be happy! You nuzzle her face, careful not to lick and get the bad taste again, but she collapses on top of you, sobbing into your fur. You don't mind, even if she is getting tears and goop all over your fluffy soft fur. You'll be there for her as long as she needs.

    After Winslow recovers, what will she do? Whatever happens, you will accompany her.
    [] Call her father
    [] Call the authorities
    [] Take a shower
    [] Walk home
    So I got a new full time job and it is of course eating into my writing time. Updates will be slowed as a matter of course. However, it's only a temp thing, so after a few weeks I'll be back to writing full time.
