[X] Chahna Chola. She's always been pretty strict on any ship she supervised but she's been a thousand times worse since that boy she was pining over died in some stupid fucking race.

Oh, right, I forgot about this earlier.

Blando had a brother? Not just an "adopted" sister? What is this?

EDIT: Wasn't quite bland enough.

Blando can never be truly killed. He was merely the latest iteration of the Eternally Reincarnating Idiot Hero Spirit, who cannot be slain even by the most terrible of spirit-killers.

Like the Neverborn, he pays a terrible and agonising price for this power.

Also like the Neverborn, this price is having to live as himself forever.

Some say he is not even bound to reality. He is timeless and eternal, and always finds a way back into some unsuspecting world regardless of what is done to purge him. A world might rid themselves of him, and then some foolish geneticist tries to clone herself a boyfriend and suddenly he is reborn in a new form - but his core essence remains the same.

Critical Point here, that boy she's pining over may well be Ravana. A long shot to be sure, but if there's a miniscule chance that Oversight actually thought Ravana was awesome I can't not go for it
 
On a slightly more serious note, I notice that Bullets Dodged didn't include "Blando didn't Exalt as an Abyssal".
We really need to be wary of the new Edgy Shounen Antihero.

I noticed that, too, and that's basically my reasoning for this.
It would make the upcoming battle even more hilarious.

Ilana: "... fuck. Do I have a Lunar Bond to him? Stupid Lunar bonds!"

Chandra: "... uh, no? Because you're a TAW."

Ilana: "... oh, right. Well, it's... it's not like I wanted one anyway!"

Then, we program it to respond to us fiddling with the instruments by giggling and moaning. Going up a gear gets extreme.

THIS MIGHT BE HARD TO DRIVE
WITH SUCH A MASSIVE, THROBBING ERECTION

[X] Sugriva. The Neo-Simian's just been watching the whole time. Not judging or any of that shit, just hanging around the command deck, watching. The Videhi kid made some remarks about him being a chimp and, well, you're probably lucky that Sugriva didn't leave any visible wounds after that.

->[X] Write-in: The hottest guy around! Which is to say yourself! Who else would be a better voice to tell you how fucking awesome you are? You can record a few dozen voice samples on the way there until it builds a profile for you.

Who's summoning you to the Bridge?

Question:
If we give the car Rav's voice, it (arguably) falls under his sphere of control.

Can we do anything with that?

It already totally falls under Fly, and since it's something that belongs to us, also already arguably falls under Lord of Lanka. That gives us essentially all of the Isidoros and Theion unlocks we might have. Oh, and Greedy Gawping Grip means that we get to count it as ourselves for essentially all purposes. The voice thing isn't really necessary here.

So, we're not like Solars. In a lot of cases, we're going to have to come up with ways to leverage our powers. Sometimes these ways are going to be... funny.

- We have Greedy Gawping Grip, which lets us turn our ride into, essentially, a part of ourselves. Then we have Arousing Indelicate Passions, which means that everyone who directly interacts with us or perceives us indulging that desire. Then we have Desirous Principles of "I will Break The Nine Monitors" and "I must save Indrajit", both of which we're at least working towards here. It can be resisted for a point of WP, and it broadcasts those principles loud and clear so it *might* not be the best plan, but the effects on a well-ordered battlefield are sure to be at least *moderately* entertaining. Still, it's some entertainment, right?

- If we can stunt our actions as leveraging Lord of Lanka in some way, we can pull Ultimate Sovereign Fundament, which has the delightful effect of turning stunt dice into stunt successes. The only problem here is that I'm *really* not sure what counts as Lanka for these purposes (other than "Surpanakha's followers"), but I'd bet we can figure out some way to make this fit. It also means that we don't have to suppress compassion for relevant effects.

- Invincible Crown Halo depends on whether or not he's using his own soak, and/or can otherwise provide its benefits to his ride. If he *is*, it's excellent at the scene-length level. If not, it does nothing for us. oh, wait - Great Gawping Grip (which we will absolutely be using) means that we get to treat it as ourselves for *all purposes*. Yeah, think that counts. If we can build up some applauding fans, it gets even better. Oh, and we'll get the occasional Cravat with its guns screaming in terror as a side benefit.

- Sprawling Marsh Indulgence... lets us ignore penalties to movement or perception caused by obstructive vegetation. We're planning on having a mecha fight in a forest. Yes, yes we can use this. Oh, and we can ignore vegetation-based environmental hazards, too, and any attempt to perceive us while we're trying to hide in the trees has its difficulty increased by 1. I'd say that the increased Hazard level from flying through densely packed forest sounds like a vegetation-based environmental hazard to *me*.

- If we're actually going to be doing any close combat with this one, we can use all of the Infernal Monster Form melee boosts.
 
Oh. We totally need to use Many Armed Wrathful Deva Method on our Giant Robot.
Greedy Gawping Grip should totally allow this.
I forsee no problems with this plan.
