I will miss the teleportation mic drop combo, it was prety funny and stupidly useful.

But, zerglings in hats. Nuff said.
 
[X] Plan Hat Wearing Abominations
Honestly I just want the power that encourages in-depth interaction with Shards and their hosts, as fun as Teleporting Dragon could be I just feel it'd mostly encourage light surface level interactions and not much else.

It's a bit of a shame that there's the shape shifting in this option instead of something like the upgrade to the hats power, but it could still be pretty fun.
 
Aww, so Save Scumming didn't make it. I was sort of looking forward to the shenanigans between Taylor and QA considering how little impact she had last time.

[X] Plan Teleporting Dragon

I just don't really feel like going full Nilborg this time.

So we are basically Oni Lee and Lung fused into one?

Hey! That rhymed!

Not really, considering we lack... Almost all of their powers, that power set mostly allows for making sure the MC is always in a position to mess about or to get out of an uncomfortable position. The shapeshifting can be good for wrecking house, but apart from that there's not much.

But basically, at least...

Heh, only a dragon is fit for a dragon. Wouldn't surprise me if Lung got the hots for Not!Taylor. Even if it is creepy.
 
Hey @Alivaril, can we take on the shapes if not the abilities of Pokemon?

I'm just brainstorming possible stuff we could turn into since both leading plans have Form Change. And even if we go bio-tinker, we'd probably want to hide the fact we're a bio-tinker and pretend to be just a Changer until it's too late to stop us. So what can we turn into?

I trawled through a list of mythological creatures, but quickly realised that a lot of their abilities are magical rather than physical. So then I realised that while mythological or horror movie monster QA is fun, for real combat effectiveness, we should be going more Animorph!QA.

Like, some dragons are said to have poison breath instead of breathing fire. Could we turn into a dragon, then copy over a spitting cobra's venom mechanism to imitate that? And then instead of venom, use acid from the belly of a great white shark or something? Could we be a Donphan by combining an elephant with an armadillo? Could we be an Octillery that fires ink bullets? It's basically what octopii could do anyway, except more condensed. Could we be a giant sandworm in order to burrow through things faster? Can we be an Ambipom for the extra hands?

So many ideas...

Edit: To Add some reasoning, I like this one because if I can't have my own plan, I'd like to have one which can build upon the Splintered quest shenanigans that got me here.

Shame I missed the earlier stages of the vote - lack of Safe Scumming in all of the plans is sad, and I wanted the two "Friends" Tinkers the most.

Splintered was funny most of the way, and exciting when it turned serious closer to the end. I assume this quest is going to be purely for fun?

No, it has one thing going on where the minions provide templates for the shapeshifting can use.

I think that we'd have been told if this was the case. It's Queen Administrator.

It's a fucking crack quest! If you don't want silly, leave now.
 
Statement: "I like both plans very much and don't mind which wins. I just like practically unlimited teleporting more than I like zerg. Nobody does teleporting and the shenanigans caused by it. Everyone and their mother (not really but still more than teleporting) does zerg. Kerrigan when played as crack is cool and all but you can play the Cheshire cat straight and it's still the more enjoyable to me.

I suppose it's simply a matter of personal preference and a desire for originality."

I like everything I see here.

Changer/Stranger/Mover with a dash of Trump Hats for utility.

Most of those are based off RL creatures. I'd like to not need the "crossover" tag. >__>

Poison-breathing drakes are fair game, as that falls under physical traits.

I'd also like to note that your own creations upgraded with Features for Wonderful Creatures are an apparent exception to the "physical traits only" rule. As in, if you give one the ability to hypnotize humans, you can turn into it and also hypnotize humans.

I am, as ever, a sucker for teleportation.

If you just want to be able to teleport, Abominations is better.
  • Build a friend using any one of the dozens of shards that might grant a teleportation power
  • Use it for Change Form
  • TELEPORTATION. And not just teleportation, but teleportation that isn't limited by the pesky thing about parahuman line-of-sight!
If you want to be able to turn into a dragon, Abominations is better, because it has not just Form Change but also a way to build templates with exotic powers that will make us more dragon-y.

And why do you care about teleportation so much in the first place? If teleportation was a sufficiently interesting power to do anything meaningful someone would've already written a fic with it. But you'll find that "can teleport and that's it" isn't even enough for comic books; there are I think two or three notable characters with the primary power of teleportation? I just don't find it very interesting at all.
